Encode360 v2.0 beta6
>> Dan released a new beta of Encode360(info) - an application which will convert virtually any video format to high quality WMV's which can be played by the Xbox 360 or the Microsoft Zune device.
Encode360 2.0 beta 6 Changelog (Abridged):
* NEW: FLV & WMV Support
* NEW: Ability to Drag/Drop re-order of items in the encoding list.
NEW: "Enable / Disable Subtitles through FFDshow" to Advanced Settings
NEW: "Preferred Subtitles Language" Option to Advanced Settings. This is so that PreProcessing Scripts (such as the updated one for MKV files) can extract and use them
* NEW: ETA on Encoding Completion (Requested by damski)
* NEW: Shutdown PC when finished (Requested by Hitcher)
* CHANGE: Massive internal re-write. I had been putting this off for a while, but eventually I had to do it. I've compartmentalized all of the Encoder code into a separate class and re-written huge segments. This has eliminated a HUGE amount of the codebase, and made it a lot more flexible.
* CHANGE: Disabled .NET x86 directive. This means x64 isn't currently supported, until someone gets around to re-compiling specifically for 64-bit. Schlicky will hopefully do this over the next few days
* CHANGE: Huge overhaul to the Aspect Ratio handling code. Now works with Non-Square Pixel videos (Thanks to Zen)
* CHANGE: Seriously cleaned up Debug Information
* CHANGE: Rewrite to the PreProcessing Script code. New MKV PPS Scriptlet linked below. Extract to the Encode360 folder (will create a subfolder called MKV\)
* CHANGE: Logging now includes less useless details, and more important details
* CHANGE: Debug Info is no longer a Top-Most Window
* CHANGE: An error is no longer displayed if no subtitles were found in an MKV
* CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.5.0 (LOTS of media-detection bugs fixed)
* FIX: Framerate "Double" error could occur if not using English as your Locale Settings (thanks to Zen)
* FIX: Certain audio streams returned an invalid sampling rate which caused Encode360 to bomb out
* FIX: If Autoscale was not enabled and was a saved setting, the Output Resolution was always 0×0 unless you ticked and unticked Autoscale
* FIX: Non-Square Pixels were always detected, even when the source video wasn't
* FIX: Invalid duration times in a number of container formats, ie, MKV, OGM (which led to a host of other problems)
* FIX: Force 2 Channel Audio Downmix setting now saved
* FIX: Force Quality Based Audio Encoding setting now saved
* FIX: Better Exception handling when running PreProcessing Scripts
* FIX: Ratio division bug - see http://dcunningham.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=283
* FIX: If autoscale was disabled, Height / Width values were inverted resulting in a bad encode
MKV Subtitle Pre-Processing Scriptlet Changelog:
* NEW: Subtitle Language Support
* NEW: Support for additional subtitle formats: UTF, IDX, SUB, SRT, SMI, RT, TXT, SSA, AQT, MPL and USF
* CHANGE: Better debug output for troubleshooting
* CHANGE: Updated MKVToolNix
