Encode360 Changelog

What's new in Encode360 2.03

Oct 11, 2008
  • CHANGE: K-Lite install options changed to work with AVC/AAC formats without the need for CoreAVC. This should resolve a number of encoding problems
  • NEW: When /AUTO is specified, the application will automatically exit on successful completion (returns errorcode 0)
  • CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to v0.7.7.6
  • CHANGE: Some minor tweaks to hopefully fix up some form-related bugs
  • FIX: Install / Uninstall mechanism now works as expected
  • FIX: MSI tended to not actually upgrade the files, just the Windows Installer version details

New in Encode360 2.02 (Sep 13, 2008)

  • CHANGE: Everything has been changed to being x86 only. It’s not possible for Enc360 to work with WME9 x64, so the app is now forced to x86 mode on XP / Vista x64. This prevents against a lot of problems people have when trying to get Enc360 working on x64 platforms.
  • CHANGE: Rework of how MKV subtitles are detected and extracted to be more robust
  • CHANGE: Lots of fixes and updates to the installer
  • CHANGE: Updated MKVToolNix to 2.3.0
  • CHANGE: Updated K-Lite Codec Pack to 4.1.7
  • CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 7.7.5.1

New in Encode360 2.0 Final (Jun 7, 2008)

  • Updated K-Lite Codec Pack to 3.9.5
  • Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.7.1
  • Updated compiler options to hopefully fix some unmanaged COM problems
  • Updated MKVToolNix utilities to v2.2.0

New in Encode360 2.0 Beta 7 (Jul 24, 2007)

  • NEW: Installer!!!
  • Will verify that .NET 2.0 and Windows Media Encoder 9 are installed before allowing the install. Hopefully will knock a number of �bug� reports on the head!
  • Includes automatic installation for K-Lite COdec Pack & recommended settings for use with Encode360
  • Includes MKV Subtitle Extractor PreProcessing Scriptlet & support files
  • NEW: Completely overhauled UI. Visualhub was sortof my inspiration!!
  • NEW: Audio / Video key details now in Advanced Settings
  • CHANGE: Removed all the folder monitoring stuff� Sorry, but it was causing way too many problems
  • CHANGE: Output resolution can now be set regardless of whether you use Autoscaling or not
  • CHANGE: WMV no longer on filetype list, but can be selected through All files. This prevents against accidentally re-encoding WMVs
  • CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.5.0 Dev Snapshot (14/07/2007)
  • CHANGE: Updated tooltips
  • CHANGE: Code Cleanup
  • FIX: �64 character limit� error on encoding jobs that would take a long time
  • FIX: A crash could occur if the file duration was miscalculated by MediaInfo
  • FIX: If the encoding job failed and the application closed, the process would not stop unless it would manually killed
  • FIX: ListView didn�t allow drag/drop of files from Windows Explorer
  • FIX: A crash could occur if a value was changed into autoscaling and no file had been previously selected
  • FIX: Encoding more than one file could result in memory leaks and bad files
  • FIX: If a problem occurred during the encoding job, the entire application would hang

New in Encode360 2.0 Beta 6 (Jul 18, 2007)

  • NEW: FLV & WMV Support
  • NEW: Ability to Drag/Drop re-order of items in the encoding list.
  • NEW: �Enable / Disable Subtitles through FFDshow� to Advanced Settings
  • NEW: �Preferred Subtitles Language� Option to Advanced Settings. This is so that PreProcessing Scripts (such as the updated one for MKV files) can extract and use them
  • NEW: ETA on Encoding Completion (Requested by damski)
  • NEW: Shutdown PC when finished (Requested by Hitcher)
  • CHANGE: Massive internal re-write. I had been putting this off for a while, but eventually I had to do it. I�ve compartmentalized all of the Encoder code into a separate class and re-written huge segments. This has eliminated a HUGE amount of the codebase, and made it a lot more flexible.
  • CHANGE: Disabled .NET x86 directive. This means x64 isn�t currently supported, until someone gets around to re-compiling specifically for 64-bit. Schlicky will hopefully do this over the next few days
  • CHANGE: Huge overhaul to the Aspect Ratio handling code. Now works with Non-Square Pixel videos (Thanks to Zen)
  • CHANGE: Seriously cleaned up Debug Information
  • CHANGE: Rewrite to the PreProcessing Script code. New MKV PPS Scriptlet linked below. Extract to the Encode360 folder (will create a subfolder called MKV)
  • CHANGE: Logging now includes less useless details, and more important details
  • CHANGE: Debug Info is no longer a Top-Most Window
  • CHANGE: An error is no longer displayed if no subtitles were found in an MKV
  • CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.5.0 (LOTS of media-detection bugs fixed)
  • FIX: Framerate �Double� error could occur if not using English as your Locale Settings (thanks to Zen)
  • FIX: Certain audio streams returned an invalid sampling rate which caused Encode360 to bomb out
  • FIX: If Autoscale was not enabled and was a saved setting, the Output Resolution was always 0�0 unless you ticked and unticked Autoscale
  • FIX: Non-Square Pixels were always detected, even when the source video wasn�t
  • FIX: Invalid duration times in a number of container formats, ie, MKV, OGM (which led to a host of other problems)
  • FIX: Force 2 Channel Audio Downmix setting now saved
  • FIX: Force Quality Based Audio Encoding setting now saved
  • FIX: Better Exception handling when running PreProcessing Scripts
  • FIX: Ratio division bug - see http://dcunningham.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=283
  • FIX: If autoscale was disabled, Height / Width values were inverted resulting in a bad encode
