Hi all,
So I know I said I didn’t intend on releasing any more builds of EncodeHD, however, a fairly big issue has been reported to me frequently in relation to audio. Since around May last year, the FFmpeg team replaced libfaac with their own experimental AAC encoder. It’s certainly faster than libfaac, but there’s a [...]

Okay guys, so I’ve made a number of decisions over the past few days based on some great feedback. I’ve decided to open source EncodeHD and the Workstation Migration Assistant. I’ve spent the past few evenings doing some code cleanup on EncodeHD – removing some unnecessary stuff and fixing a nasty bug. I’ve also built [...]

Mainly a bugfix release just to wrap up a few outstanding issues. Here’s what’s changed:

NEW: /SOF Parameter. Shut down the machine when finished encoding
CHANGE: If the audio bitrate is too low on input files with AAC audio, the stream will now be copied instead of re-encoded (to preserve quality)
CHANGE: AppleTV Profile now forces 25fps in [...]

It’s been ages since I’ve had the energy to spend quality time on either EncodeHD or the Workstation Migration Assistant. This is partly because I’m so busy with work, that when I get home I don’t actually have the brainpower to do it, and it’s partly because my heart isn’t in it anymore – although [...]

Hey all,
Another relatively small update – I seem to have no time for anything at the moment Here’s the changes:

NEW: Files with no audio tracks can now be encoded
NEW: Preliminary support for the ZuneHD (in theory, it all should work)
CHANGE: Increased Zune audio bitrate limit to 192kbps
CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.20
CHANGE: Updated FFmpeg [...]
