Except for the fact that it required sufficient space to demux/ reencode and remux the video file I would say it is an absolute godsend.
I have a low power dual core Atom mini-itx pc which is on 24/7 and is used essentially downloading. It always had problems playing high definition MKVs above 2 mbps bit rate. Using this software I chanced upon 2 solutions simultaneously.
I always convert DTS audio to AC3 to reduce disk space. I used to go about in very lengthy way. Convert it to AC3 @ 384 kbps, then increase volume using Avidemux and then convert the whole shibang using Handbrake 0.9.5 to reduce the video size making the final file smaller and more compatible to more standalone media players.
Just to try I changed the setting for audio to 640 kbps in stead of 384 kbps. Lo and behold two inherent problems got solved in a single shot. The volume levels were at par with the DTS levels (otherwise a big problem for AC3 users) and VLC on my Atom pc could now play even 5 mbps files without any glitch! Of course the file was a bit larger by a few hundred MB but the sound was definitely better.
I recommend this to absolutely every one who needs to convert their audio.
