I agree that this program has more problems than just user error. Just this morning, I tried converting a DVD that I have into an XviD file (using avi container). I tried demuxing the audio, without changes, and XMR crashed after the second XviD pass. So, I tried again, this time without the audio. Same thing. Odd, though, that I had tried to test XviD, to see if it could two-pass encode anything (creating a test encode from the first four or five seconds of old MP4 file), it worked without problems. I do hope that the Mpeg-4/LAVF encoder isn't as buggy, although I would much rather use XviD. I'm guessing that it is much better than Mpeg-4/LAVF, since LAVF is meant to encode anything. Odds are, that once LAVF has been made able to create a video compression format properly, the FFMpeg devs stop improving it, releasing only basic bug fixes (unlike XviD, which has recently released newer masking technologies, some new VHQ thing, (probably) better RD optimizations, and (probably) better multi-threading performance). |
