Transcoder

Some users have reported experiencing a problem with Transcoder where converting files to h.264 (.mp4) format failed with a "Codec not found" error.  This may be caused by a bug in the Intel video driver.  If so, try the fix here: 1. Open an elevated command prompt: right-click on the Windows button and select Command Prompt (Admin) 2. Paste or type this command and press enter: reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\HardwareMFT" /v "EnableEncoders" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f 3. Run the transcode again and see if it worked. Thanks, Michael

Great feature set and design.

It’s intuitive and easy to convert (I’ve only done audio). The biggest drawback is that it doesn’t recursively convert source folders and replicate the source folder hierarchy in the target, e.g. for multiple albums by one artist, you have to do each album (folder) separately. A small complaint is that it doesn’t allow for finer bitrate and type conversion. It would be nice if I could select VBR or a specific bitrate for destination file instead of “high, medium, low”.
