EncodeHD 1.0.73.0 Released

Hi all!

I’m very sorry for how long it took to get this release ready. Things have been crazy busy at work, which I’m sure most people understand in these challenging times. However, I’ve spent some time over the past few days and gotten quite a number of bugs fixed, and a few nice new features packed in.

Here’s what’s new, and the download is in the EncodeHD section! :)

  • NEW: Advanced Settings: Preferred Audio Language (when multiple streams are found)
  • NEW: Experimental support for Western Digital TV Media Player
  • NEW: Output files containing AC3 passthrough audio are created using the M4V extension
  • CHANGE: Rewrote UUID tagging handling to be more robust
  • CHANGE: Lots of tweaks to improve quality in encoded files
  • CHANGE: Ensure AC3 audio meets bitrate requirements
  • CHANGE: If encoding starts but the output file isn’t growing in size after 20 seconds (because of an encoding issue) an error will be returned
  • CHANGE: MediaInfo SVN 0.7.12+
  • CHANGE: Small code fixes
  • FIX: Video was being unnecessarily scaled upwards if the device was capable of a higher resolution
  • FIX: BlackBerry Storm / Bold were not using H.264 Low Complexity Baseline Profile
  • FIX: BlackBerry Storm / Bold bitrate was set too high
  • FIX: PSP profile and bitrate were set too high
  • FIX: MPEG4 creation wasn’t multithreaded
  • FIX: Stream mapping problems could occur with AC3 audio
  • FIX: Large files could stay at “Preparing to encode” for a long time
  • FIX: Time remaining would sometimes get stuck at 0 minutes

Cheers, Dan

    Dan, thank you for another solid release. I really appreciate that you take user feedback into account when you design each build. EncodeHD has been a huge asset to me over the past year. You rock! Peace.

    Thanks Dan, this is great stuff. I have stop using any other conversion software for my ipod touch.

    I’ve got a feature request, how about an option to concatenate the input files into a single converted output file ?

      Hi Luan,

      It’s on my todo list! I thought I’d have it done by now but it’s a bit trickier than I thought… :\
