EncodeHD v0.71 Beta Posted by XanTium | December 5 23:37 EST | News Category: Xbox360

Dan released the first 'technology preview' release of EncodeHD to replace the Encode360(info) tool. EncodeHD is a an application to re-encode all types of video files for use on your home media player or on-the-go device. It aims to provide a simple interface with no fuss. From dcunningham.net: So firstly, let's talk EncodeHD. Look at the current beta release (0.71) as a 'technology preview' of sorts. The idea here is to verify that we've got the primary encoding mechanisms up to scratch. So what I'm looking for here is to make sure that video converts for all devices as expected and that the quality is good (or great). The key things to note for EncodeHD are:     * Outputted video is MPEG4 and H.264 with AAC (or AC3) audio, NOT WMV (this is not strictly for X-Box 360 anymore)     * This means that 5.1 audio for the X-Box 360 is not yet supported in these formats     * Subtitles are also not yet possible, although I'm looking into it As of now, there's still a lot of unimplemented functionality that will be added later. If you want to see something in particular, please let me know. However, if it's going to cludge up the interface and start making things complex, I may not implement requests. We'll have to see. One of the nice things about EncodeHD is that it has built-in bug reporting. If you hit a problem, it will ask you if you want to submit a bug report - including all the details I need to help solve the issue. If however, the problem is with video output, it may not detect any problems. In this case, could I ask you to email my bug-tracking system: [email protected], and attach the EncodeHD.Log file which you can find in your Temp folder (Click Start > Run and type %TEMP% to access it).

so let's say i have a MKV file, will this program just turn it into mp4 without encoding and transcoding like gotsent does? or will it decode the whole movie and encode it as mp4?

i have used gotsent for a while without any problems, it just converts a file within 30-45 minutes from mkv to mp4. without decoding. just by changing audio to 2.0 and some other things.

but somehow it doesn;t work for me with large movies.

Are there really a lot of devices out there that handle h.264 and AC3 in an MP4 wrapper?  I have always hated loosing 5.1 sound and more and more devices seem to be happy with mp4 vs avi nowadays.
