I often convert video from a network device (for example: "\\Maxximus\filmz\Gagarin.mpg") - just change the output path to your hard drive and it works 100%
After recheck I found that the problem was that the input path contains Hebrew characters.
I suppose it doesn't work with Hebrew path (when I look at the bat file I saw that all the Hebrew characters were all changed to weird symbolic characters)
Very good programm but i wonder why it's missing the following important functions.
A)Batch encoding.Instead of opening each file individually y can't we add multiple files at once?
B)Why can't we set quality of audio when it is vbr?
C)Multiple passes for avc?

Keep up the great work.
A. If you want to encode not very large quantity of files then just use queue - all settings are saved and changing resolution is auto.
B. Fixed - download new .exe build
C. Hmm, seems that it's working... or not? :)
P.S. New build is ready to download (v0.9.8.49):
- quality of audio when it is vbr
- wmv files are supported (dll added in a archive) - but you need to manually set fps (for example: 25)

A)I sometimes want to encode lotys of files so it's not convenient to add in queuee.
C)How do you enable multiple passes for AVC?
I also have a question about the crop option.For example if i have a 4:3 source file and want to convert to 16:9 so i can have fullscreen i use crop.But does your setting mean that it only crops from one side,instead for cropping equally from both?Like 94 means cropping 94 from the top height or 47 from the top and 47 from the bottom?
Cause i tried cropping and realised that it cropped a lot from the top.

C) hm, just choose "x264 AVC" codec and that's all. What's the difference? By default 2 pass mode is enabled (or you mean 3 pass?).
About crop: by mencoder documentation:
crop[=w:h:x:y] - Crops the given part of the image and discards the rest. Useful to remove black bands from widescreen movies.
<w>,<h> - Cropped width and height, defaults to original width and height.
<x>,<y> - Position of the cropped picture, defaults to center
I don't set <x> and <y>, so it should center the image.
----------
Version 1.00 is ready for test!
- DVD support (except subtitles yet)
- wmv files supported
I really like your encoding app the best from all that are around :) Since that bug I had at the beginning is gone, it's really a great tool to use.
Having wmv support in 1.0.0 now is also a great plus. Keep that up :)

I agree, it's the most simple yet efficient PMP converter out there. :)
may i add a little suggestion :
it will be nice if we could delete just one row of the list and not all of them (clear Queue).
another thing can you increase the queue list to 4 rows.

Yes sorry,that's what i meant.the possibility for the user to set number of passes,e.g. 3.
EDIT:Also where is version 1.0.1?The link is still for 0.9.8.
Link is the same (forgot to edit post).
About 3 passes - i don't think that it is a very useful mode, because results don't really differ from 2 passes but it takes much more time. And I don't want to overload programm with a lot of not very important functions (besides you always can add 3 pass manually by editing queue ;) )
by the way, GREAT app, it is the only one i use. :-)
i downloaded the new version this morning (1.0.1). and have tried to encode a new film. i have tried twice now but each time at the end get an error. it says that encoding failed and something to do with a parsing error. not had this problem with previous versions.
just trying the old version (0.9.8.49) again now to see if something has changed on my system. but the new version is not working for me.
options were rescaled resolution (widescreen) - xvid - bitrate 1200 - use sharp - 2 pass (i have also tried 1 pass and got the same error) - audio mencoder 112
Edit - version 0.9.8.49 has converted fine. will convert same file with new version again to capture error.
Edit 2 - The result of using version 1.0.1 has resulted in the encode failing again. I used the same movie file and settings as my conversion using version 0.9.8.49

Something went wrong during encoding...
Press any key to continue . . .
A)How do i manually edit the commandline and add the 3 pass option?
B)As for audio i didn't mean for abr support.I meant to be able to select an approximate of the vbr quality.Like when you encode audio with lame,you have presets for vbr,and set to have a quality around 112.Can that be done,cuase it's much more better and convenient than vbr.
Sorry for busting your balls,and thanx for your time!

Show me your "encode.bat". It's interesting :/

Press "Edit Encode.bat" button. About quality mode for audio encoding - maybe sometime i will add this feature, it's not hard to do, but i feel a lack of space in interface :) where to add more buttons...

It would be much appriciated.
Thanks
Download new build (57). I've tested and ... it's working :)
