Hi there...

I'm Dan and this is my website. I’m an Irish IT infrastructure architect with 10+ years experience in a wide range of technologies.

EncodeHD & Software Compliance Tool Updates

Just one or two minor things. Firstly, EncodeHD:

  • FIX: Unhandled exception could occur when starting the application

And secondly, the Software Compliance Tool:

  • FIX: Cached Domain Groups would be incorrectly overwritten with a blank cache in certain networking conditions. This would result in AD Exclusions no longer applying

The downloads are available in their respective sections above.

EncodeHD 1.2.233.0 Released

Hey there and a rather belated Happy New Year to everyone.

Seems there was some issues with the last release before Christmas – specifically a problem with FFmpeg, causing Out of Disk Space errors. I’ve taken a more recent build of FFmpeg which seems to have solved the problem.

WTV demuxing was added to FFmpeg so I’ve added support for the WTV format within EncodeHD. Additionally, I feel that the experimental AAC encoder is now of very good quality and consistently produces excellent audio – so I’ve switched back to using this. As a result, there’s no longer a need to download the additional libfaac library which should simplify things a bit.

Here’s the changelog:

  • NEW: Added WTV support
  • CHANGE: Updated FFmpeg to Git Revision c9e16a9
  • CHANGE: Switched back to experimental AAC encoder. Quality is great now, and it removes the requirement for libfaac
  • CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.41

Download is available in the EncodeHD section :)

Happy Christmas!

Just a small post to say Happy Christmas to all of my site visitors, Twitter followers and friends – old and new. To those of you that I haven’t spoken to before, don’t be a stranger! To those of you who know me and it’s been a while: keep in touch :)

And of course, thanks to all who have supported both my applications and me personally over the year. I really appreciate it.

Dan

EncodeHD 1.2.224.0 Released

Extremely minor update really. I haven’t done any further development on it, I’ve just updated the included versions of FFmpeg and MediaInfo. This may or may not improve performance, image quality and / or fix some bugs within FFmpeg itself.

Download in the EncodeHD section.
