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.
