It's been a week since EncodeHD was launched, and I'm bloody pleased with the progress so far. A massive thanks has to go to my primary testers who have been beating the hell out of the early betas, providing feedback and helping me solve a lot of bugs and quality issues.

0.80 beta (12th December 2008)
    * NEW: Option to specify the Output Folder
    * NEW: Advanced FFmpeg Flags option, for adding to the FFmpeg command-line
    * NEW: MP4 Artwork (thanks to AtomicParsley). MyFile.Avi + MyFile.Jpg or Png = MyFile.Mp4 w/ArtWork! :)
    * NEW: UI Enhancements and a brand new icon, thanks to the Simplicio Icon Set
    * CHANGE: H.264 quality improvements. Slightly increases encoding times, but it's worth it
    * CHANGE: Disabled H.264 remuxing due to av_interleaved_frame_write_error. Investigating workarounds...
    * CHANGE: Removed AviSynth (AVS) as an encodable file-type, until I can implement a workable solution to MediaInfo handling
    * CHANGE: Rewrite of output folder / filename validation code. Much more reliable now
    * CHANGE: Lots of small bugfixes
    * FIX: MPEG4 could fail with 'unable to assign thread' error
    * FIX: Non-AC3 5.1 audio was not being down-mixed to 2 channel AAC
    * FIX: A/V sync issues with certain XVid files
    * FIX: Audio crackling issues on Apple trailers

coolio...this won't be needed when windows 7 is released next year. I'm using the windows 7 beta on my pc right now and the xbox 360 media center extender application is a lot better now.  I can now stream MP4 and high def. content right inside media center.  I just streamed a fansub naruto episode and it was very high quality with no stutter what so ever and I'm currently streaming from a weak system too.  A pentium 4 2.4ghz cpu with 1gb of ram.   The episode wouldn't even play from the dashboard of the xbox 360 streaming from vista.  I think it encodes files on the fly.  I think windows 7 is going to change things for the better smile.gif

I think the Apple TV profile it will work best on XBMC. It should result in a 480p H.264 file with AC3 passthrough. Remember, the Xbox struggles with anything over 720p.

I haven't played around with video on the 360 so I may be barking up the wrong tree, and I don't want to piss on Dan's chips as he's obviously put a hell of a lot of work into this and well done for that, but doesn't SUPER do all this transcoding already?

Of course, if EncodeHD ends up doing stuff faster/better/easier than SUPER, then that can only be a good thing!

Can I convert my HD-MKVs to Xbox 360-readeble-streamed stuff with this?!

THIS IS GREAT.

Best App of the Month for me
