Hey Guys,

Hey Guys,

I’ve added a Get Satisfaction feedback link onto the site. Rather than using the comments, please use this for questions and problem reporting – this way others can easily see what’s solved or has a workaround.

Cheers, Dan

Sorry it’s taken so long to get a new release together, but I’ve been really busy as of late. I’ve gotten some major bugs fixes though, and one or two nice feature requests Here’s the changelog since 1.0.94.0:

• NEW: Soft-Subtitles can now be merged into the output file for Apple devices. Just place an SRT or SUB file with the same name in the same folder as your source video
• NEW: Settings are now stored with the application (EncodeHD.Settings) for full app portability
• NEW: Check For Updates on Startup option in Advanced Settings
• CHANGE: Apple Device files are now always created with the M4V extension
• CHANGE: Failed encoding now cancels the entire queue
• CHANGE: Advanced Settings UI updated
• CHANGE: Renamed a few Settings
• CHANGE: Updated FFmpeg to r19393
• CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.18+ 07-07-2009
• FIX: Resolution scaling was sometimes calculated incorrectly, leading to unsupported video files on certain devices
• FIX: Checking for updates on startup could hang for a few seconds during DNS resolution
• FIX: “Value not multiple of 2″ error could occur when encoding
• FIX: Auto-splitting would sometimes be skipped

Hey Guys,

Just a quick post. I’m a little behind on the next release of EncodeHD. I’ve been hard at work trying to implement support for soft-subtitles on Apple devices. In the process I’ve managed to break numerous things, so trying to get a number of bugs sorted out. Meanwhile, I’m extremely busy with work, and my evenings are being spent repainting my apartment! :O

Stay tuned, the next release isn’t too far away. Oh, and if anyone is interested in helping me test soft-subs, please get in touch!
