  • Fixed bug where in X264 the -ref was applied two times.
  • Added new Audio setting for WMV for better compatibility with the new WMCmd.vbs.
  • Fixed bug preventing AACgain from working for installation paths with space (like c:program filesautomkv... ).

Note: If you have a more powerfull CPU delete this file and from http://home.arcor.de/kassandro/RemoveGrain.rar take the DLL version your CPU supports (RemoveGrainSSE2.dll or RemoveGrainSSE3.dll). Do the same thing with job with RepairSSE2.dll or RepairSSE3.dll.
  • Added some tuning to WMV bitrate calculator
  • Changed width option so it now sets to "Original" if profile is CRF or CQ, and user selects "Go Unlimited" for final file size.
