EncodeHD 1.2.209 Released

This is just a small feature enhancement and bugfix release for a few things that cropped in the last build. Hopefully this sorts out some of the issues that I’ve been getting mails about :)

Changelog:

  • NEW: Added support for HTC Desire
  • NEW: Added support for Nokia N900
  • NEW: Added Hebrew as a preferred language type
  • CHANGE: Revert back to 2-channel down-sampling. Seems to work most of the time and 5.1 AAC caused device incompatibilities. Better to fail upfront than after encoding
  • FIX: Double conversion error could occur in locales where the decimal is ,

Download available in the Media Tools > EncodeHD section. And don’t forget to download the faac encoder library!

Update 11/08/2010: GitHub has now been updated with the latest source code.

Enjoy! :)

    I’m looking for video converters to prep files for my WD HDTV set top box. I just did a run with the latest EncodeHD. It completed the conversion of a 94 minute film in 3 1/2 hours on my quad core. It gives a progress bar and estimated time of completion while running. But I didn’t see any mechanism to burn in subtitles, which I need to do in most cases. Plus there seemed to be nothing done at all with the subtitle streams in the film. In short, it gives me about the same result as BD Rebuilder but with double the encoding time. Quick AVI Creator may take a bit longer than EncodeHD and gives no progress indication, but it lets me burn in subs or resize the frame or apply other filters since I can edit the .avs file with AvsP.

    I hope the author will keep improving EncodeHD. I think it shows promise. But please make some accommodation for handling PGS subs. To process BluRay source without being able to handle PGS subs leads to a lot of frustration. Granted one run doesn’t tell everything but it seemed stable and robust. I hope features will be added to allow the user to modify parameters before the run starts. Thanks for the program.

    hey!

    This is a great application, really! Great streamlined interface. BUT… Why only hd? I think a lot more video watching is being done on the device itself, so it would be wise to add native device resolutions.

    I would like to be able to select the Dutch language as perfered language is that posible to include? It would even be nicer to select english but Dutch subs and vice versa.

    Hey Dan!

    Thank you for the update! But with this feature to copy the video stream for H.264, some converted videos are not playable on Xbox360, that are not AVC-Specs compliant.

    Hi, I’ve been a long time user of your program and have gotten a lot of great use of out it and wanted to say thank you.

    I do have a question though, is it possible or will it ever be possible to run your program via command line so that it’s capable of being automated with scripts?

    Thanks Again!

      Hey Mark,

      It’s already possible to automate EncHD. The available parameters are:

      /I:file.avi – Add file(s) to the input queue. Re-use /I: for each file
      /O:folder / file.mp4 – Output location, ie. “C:\Temp”, or “C:\Temp\Test.MP4″. Output filename only works when encoding 1 file
      /AUTO – Automatically encodes. Requires at least one file to be in the queue, via /I parameter
      /QOF – Quit On Finish. Automatically exits the application on completion of the queue
      /SOF – Shut down the machine when finished encoding
      /LOWPRIORITY and /HIGHPRIORITY – changes the encoding process priority

      Hope this helps.

      Dan
