"Down the wrong path"
by: buck_a
MediaCoder 2011 RC3
Pros: This program used to be good until the VBR issue came up. They refuse to address it. The result, audio and video not being in sync. Other Thoughts: Use xmedia recode. Its free and does the job like its supposed to. Was this review helpful? 36 out of 66 users found this review helpful.

"Too unreliable"
by: Leon
MediaCoder 0.7.5.4799
Pros: I have tried the latest 32 and 64 bit versions.
Conversion is fast and results are good, when it works. Cons: Results are unreliable.
Tried to convert a few Nero h.263 files. Gave an error for those over 2GB at the end of the conversion. For the others the audio was out of sync. A few files converted ok.
Also previously had problems getting the auto-cropping to work. Will also sometimes break the aspect ratio, even if the setting is to retain it. Other Thoughts: Due to being so unreliable, each file has be be verified after conversion.Was this review helpful? 39 out of 80 users found this review helpful.

"This COULD be excellent"
by: BXF
MediaCoder 0.7.5.4762
Pros: Very flexible; able to perform a multitude of conversions. When it works, it proves its usefulness. Cons: Accepts and tries to process requests that are technically not feasible, instead of checking for validity of request and informing user of inconsistencies. Such attempts fail with no clear indication as to the reasons for the failures. Other Thoughts: I haven't used this program for some time now, but I was very excited about it in its early days, so much so that I made a donation to help its development. However, in more recent times, the developer has gone out to left field, and appears to be clueless about proper programming technique (I'm speaking as a programmer with over 40 years IT experience).
I have no problems with the GUI, but I dislike the Firefox driven settings process, as well as the constant addition of new features while some fundamental logic flaws are still present and ignored by the developer. Also, if I recall correctly, there have been increasing hints of the presence of nagware and/or spyware that are annoying.Was this review helpful? 45 out of 80 users found this review helpful.

"MediaCoder"
by: lehenryjr
MediaCoder 0.7.5.4730
Pros: It converts just about anything you need converted. Performs well, and does so, very fast. Cons: Not a fairly large fan of the GUI, I don't like the wizard. Filled with ads. Not made for the average user - even the wizard is too complex for the average user. Other Thoughts: There needs to be a simplified screen GUI that makes it simple for users to simply select the file and choose an output standard. Like going from AVI -> YouTube or Divx -> MPG2 ... More direct choices- less of the ad filled wizard.Was this review helpful? 83 out of 145 users found this review helpful.

"nagware but..."
by: fantom
Other Thoughts: this is a very good program; I give it 10/10 for what it can do BUT UNFORTUNATELY it is nagware; for those who want to use MediaCoder and forget about nags about update, splashscreen and visiting sponsors websites (all of that nags can supposedly be disabled but the sad truth is that it is completely impossible...) I strongly recommend progam ClickOff by johanneshuebnerWas this review helpful? 91 out of 251 users found this review helpful.

"Better than ever!!"
by: KingCrimson
Other Thoughts: I love it! It is VERY fast (as were previous versions.) I do not get the crashes on converting .mov to mpeg4 anymore (those occurred *frequently* in version 0.6) Personally I like the extra buttons to control framesize, codec versions, etc. If you are trying to get multiple videos to match in a project but they have different formats, resolutions, frame rates, etc, then this program is a true blessing!! It has made preparation work for my DVDs a breeze. If you don't know what a button does, don't worry about it. The default settings work flawlessly.Was this review helpful? 77 out of 169 users found this review helpful.

"Get's a 1 for usability!"
by: Horrified!
Other Thoughts: Decent program, but it seems like they try to have a contest to see how much uglier they can make each new release look!
Why add 20 gadzillion buttons, when it's not necessary?
Buttons here, buttons there, buttons buttons everywhere! (Add another, please!)Was this review helpful? 69 out of 156 users found this review helpful.

"Terrible!"
by: Appalled User
Other Thoughts: Configuration nightmare! Would it be possible to add the option to wash dishes too?
Why not focus on what it needed on the UI, such as:
----------------------------------------
Audio
Video (select the one they work with)
----------------------------------------
Source
Target (select file & destination)
----------------------------------------
Quality (select low, medium, or high)
Options (select manual settings)
----------------------------------------
How hard would it be to make it simple?
I don't want to spend the next 10 years learning everything there is to know about 1 program that does everything but what I really want it to do.
