Encode360 2.0b6 Released!!!!

It’s been an awfully long time coming, but I figure that’s it high time I released a Stable build. For everyone who’s stayed with 2.0b5 since the last release around Christmas, there’s been a LOT of changes….

Changelog and download link are in the Encode360 section

Thanks to everyone who report bugs and fix problems. Hopefully this release will inject a bit more life into the project!

Dan

    Thanks Dan. Your hard work is much appreciated by those of us who haven’t got a clue about writing apps like this.

    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks a lot man. I was having a ton of problems with the older version, I downloaded this one, and it is perfect. Thanks again.

    Is there a way to get an ETA for all the files I have on the list? I noticed it is just for the current file, and I was just wondering…

    Afraid not. :(

    If you don’t mind, I would like to submit a request. It is possible for you to put in a pause feature? Sorry to sound ungrateful, I really do appreciate all the work you have done, but I just wanted to throw that out there for future versions.

    You don’t have Windows Media Encoder installed. Please follow the installation instructions here: http://dcunningham.net/projects/encode360/

  10. Dan 14 July 2007 at 6:29 am #

    Spencer, see Feature Request / Bug List here: http://dcunningham.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=292

    It’s not currently possible :(

    Sorry about that. I guess I could have checked for a topic, before leaving a comment. Thanks for the reply.

    Dude you rock. Awesome work!

    Great program. I still get the incorrect duration for all MKV files (.H264/AC3).
    But since you show the duration in the advanced settings I can deduct from that the actual % when it’s done.

    I do have unfortunately one problem. Any .TS file or MPG (mpeg2) will crash after 10 seconds, saying trying to read/write memory error. So not sure if that is supported.

    Acido, if you install Windows media encoder the problem finished. I have the same problem

    Hi

    I’m having a problem with Encode360 crashing/failing to encode when not forcing a 2-ch downmix on a 6-ch source. Source file is .mkv w/AVC video and AC3 audio (6-ch/48KHz).

    Do you guys not test your software before release? I cannot install thison Windows XP SP2. I followed all of your requirement (WMEncoder 9, WMPlayer 11, .NET Framework, K-lite…).

    I still get the Windows Dialog Error ” Windows encountered an error…”

  18. Dan 18 July 2007 at 10:56 pm #

    Ermmm, yes, it IS tested, to the best of my ability, considering I’m the only person working on it, in my spare time. Also, I should point out that this *is* still a beta, and it’s also quite free, so you can forgive if it’s not up to the release quality of commerical apps.

    The error you’re reporting, from previous experience, occurs because Windows Media Encoder isn’t installed, or is a dodgy installation. I’m doing my best to figure out a way off supressing this generic error, and replacing it with something a bit more descriptive, but haven’t been able to, because I’m NOT an experienced developer, have limited time for this project, and the lack of help I’ve gotten (even though the source code is freely available) on fixing these problems is frankly appalling, for the amount of people using the app.

    Can you please double-check your WME9 installation, and if this isn’t the root of the problem, maybe you can check your Event Logs and see if more information about the problem is provided here?

    Thanks, Dan.

    I have XP SP2, WMPlayer 10 (which shouldn’t matter), WMEncoder 9 and I can run just fine (all last betas). So must be something else. Maybe you’re missing a codec.

    The only real problem left for me is that I get a crash with any TS or MPEG2 file. But probably the xbox360 can playback mpeg2 anyway so I’ll try that instead.

    I think it’s a really great program. I appreciate the effort you took.

    I’ve been using your encoder for a while, Dan, but doubtless like many ‘lurkers’ haven’t left a comment. Your work is very appreciated; and the application generally works very happily as long as a bit of thought is applied when installing and using. Many thanks for building this.

    this has been a great program, it’s great of you to give away something you put so much effort into. but i’ve been using the program for a while and it seems that i get an error message with any of the new x264s that have been released.

    Is there a way to remove the debug info from my converted videos? I looked through settings and couldn’t find it :\
