As you may know, the version number of 0.6.0 has been kept for nearly one year’s time though MediaCoder has been improved consistently during this period of time. I admit that I am quite conservative on the increase of version number of MediaCoder. Anyway after one year, I finally decided to increase the version number soon. Once a most stable 0.6.0 is released, let’s leave 0.6.0 in its best condition and steps towards 0.7.0.
Here I list some of my thoughts about the major new features of the next version:
- Adding batch image conversion/processing feature (base on ImageMagick)
- Implementing multi-segment simultaneous transcoding (this will optimize speed for multi-core processors even if the encoder doesn’t support multi-threading and no doubt 4-core will have a significant speed-up)
- Implementing multi-computer transcoding / transcoding farm (will adopt controller/agent mode, agent will run on Linux natively).
- x64 version
- Fully XUL-based user interface (the classic user interface will be kept of course)
- New graphics
Of course these new features won’t come suddenly in a release. They will be implemented gradually. If you have suggestions, please just tell me.
I really like your program. It’s very usefull, especially to convert those rm and rmvb files into more compatible formats.
I have a suggestion about a new feature, that would make your program the ultimate one for me: the possibility to convert to DPG, the Nintendo DS most common format.
Thank you for your attention, and good cheer for your future developments!
It would be great if you could enable direct DVD with subtitling function to PSP format.
current version would not work.
Hi Stanley,
at the moment I am hunting for Compositing-Software in GNU-Area. It would be very useful if MC would let:
– 32bit primery and secondary colorcorrection
(Chrom. & Lum.)
– Masking with freehand
– Keying for Masks
– Layering
I do know of course that MC is “only” a GUI of other softwares. On the other side it is also true that MC is not a compositing but a transcoder software.
It was just an idea … 🙂
You know Videoediting in Blender is a desaster. and the Projekt Jahshaka is dead.
Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Yes, Native Linux would be greatly appreciated!
Well guys I think we should remember that MediaCoder is freeware tool and we need to keep in mind that at first main features like better usage of 2-4 cores and taking advantage of clip edditing with frame support marking is a priority, I think all the rest will come out with the time…
This is a great program for all my downconverting to iPod and PSP.
But the ABSOLUTE DREAM will be reencoding Blu Ray and HD-DVD Rips to MKV or other formats PLEASE!!!!
sometimes there is a problem of converting flv to mpeg.
Hi,
1. what about integrating VirtualDub-Filters?
It would be a pretty big step ahead.
2. Would it be possible to export on to an FTP-Server?
Nowadays it is alredy possible to choose a FTP-Link as Source – do I know it well? It would be quite logical to have this opportunity also for export.
Regards, I.
