What's new in Free MKV to AVI Converter 1.10
Feb 10, 2021
- Updated conversion engine (FFmpeg) and multimedia information library (MediaInfo).
- Information about the conversion progress is displayed on the title bar of the main window and on the taskbar.
- Fixed Stack overflow bug when selecting next files in the list very quickly.
- Added support for files from network shares whose names start with the characters "\".
- When saving the report to a text file in the File properties window, UTF-8 encoding is used (in previous versions the system default code page was used).
- After the user has interrupted the conversion, the program displays a window asking whether to delete the incompletely converted file. Such files usually have a damaged internal structure and cannot be played.
- If incorrect parameters are passed to the conversion engine (FFmpeg) and the conversion process fails, the output file will be automatically deleted. Such a file usually does not contain any data (0 bytes in size) and only unnecessarily litter the disk.
- The file names, encoder options and some words (error, invalid, unable etc.) are highlighted in the error log window. This makes the log more readable now.
- UTF-8 encoding (instead of the system code page) is used when writing the error log to a text file.
- The ability to save the log also to an HTML file has been added.
- Lots of minor changes and fixes to the source code and the program interface.
