MediaCoder 0.6.0 pre1

MediaCoder is a FREE universal audio/video batch transcoder distributed under GPL license, which puts together lots of excellent audio/video codecs and tools from the open source community into an all-in-one solution, capable of transcoding among different audio/video formats. With many extra features and a expandable architecture, MediaCoder is more than a GUI of a bunch of command line tools.

MediaCoder convert :

AVI to AVI, AVI to DivX, AVI to H264, AVI to MKV, AVI to MP4, AVI to MPG, AVI to XviD, AVI to AAC, AVI to MP3, AVI to OGG, AVI to WAV, DivX to AVI, DivX to DivX, DivX to H264, DivX to MKV, DivX to MP4, DivX to MPG, DivX to XviD, DivX to AAC, DivX to MP3, OGG to MP3, OGG to OGG, OGG to WAV, RAM to AAC, RAM to MP3, RAM to OGG, RAM to WAV, WMA to AAC, WMA to MP3, WMA to OGG, WMA to WAV, WAV to AAC, WAV to MP3, WAV to OGG, WAV to WAV and more....

What's New:

* [update] MediaCoder build 3288
* [add] raw video frames are retrieved from video source (MPlayer, AVISynth etc.) and sent to video encoders instead of letting video encoders to do decoding (in other words, MediaCoder is no longer a just launcher for various video encoders but can help them to decode what they can't, just like what MediaCoder deals with audio previously)
* [add] video source and encoder can be freely coupled (this used to have many limits)
* [add] audio decoding, video decoding and audio/video encoding can now be done in individual process/thread (good for multi-core processors)
* [add] use theora reference encoder (which can only eat raw I420/YV12 and PCM data) to replace ffmpeg2theora (no longer need it)
* [add] preset per file feature (specifying individual preset for each file)
* [add] raw audio/video statistics
* [add] Flash Video producing extension
* [add] audio ripper extension
* [add] audio/video playback/encoding benchmark extension (a bit like 3DMark, but benchmarking for audio/video performance, may come a bit later)
* [add] native AVISynth support (both audio and video source)
* [add] hibernate/standby on complete feature
* [fix] transcoding process unexpected ending fixed
* [fix] many combinations of input and output formats that didn't use to work have the chance to work
* [update] audio/video stream dumping function improved
* [update] lots of code segments rewritten (less dependence on Win32 API) and classes reconstructed for better future development and the upcoming Linux porting
* [update] better process controls and portability
* [update] improved console window
* [update] meta info (tags) of audio/video files now retrieved with (patched) MPlayer
* [add] Theora reference encoder
* [update] Matroska Merge 2.0
* [update] MPlayer/MEncoder patched and updated
* [update] FFmpeg patched and updated
