MediaCoder iPod/iPhone/iPad Edition 0.8.1 Build 5138

MediaCoder iPod/iPhone/iPad Edition is a tool that can convert media files to the iPod, iPhone and iPad profiles.

Since this is an ad-supported product, you should pay attention when installing it, because it offers to download and install third-party software that it doesn't need in order to fully function.

The interface of the program seems a bit cluttered at first (buttons and text could have been bigger), but the software is quite simple to use.

You can get started by adding media files to the list, by using the file browser or the "drag and drop" method (batch processing is supported as well).

In the list you can view the name, speed, state, size, duration, type, group, preset file, full path and output destination for each source file. But you can also check out file properties when it comes to the audio bitrate, duration, size, video scan mode, and others.

So, you can apply clipping and effects, crop files or configure subtitle settings, as well as set starting and ending position, change audio properties and use other options (e.g. enable AviSynth for decoding). Furthermore, you can set frames per seconds, audio and video bitrate, encoding level, and more.

The software take a reasonable amount of time to complete a task while using a moderate quantity of system resources. However, it doesn't include a help file and can be difficult to comprehend by first-time users.

Sometimes it takes several long seconds for MediaCoder iPod/iPhone/iPad Edition to analyze the bitstream of a certain file, during which the program looks frozen. Also, it froze once when trying to encode an MP3 file, and we had to restart the application.

All in all, MediaCoder iPod/iPhone/iPad Edition certainly comes packed with options for both novices and experienced individuals, but it definitely needs to work on its interface and functionality.
