Release notes for MediaCoder 0.8.16 (Stanley posted on October 6th, 2012 )

From this release, MediaCoder 64-bit version is built with Visual Studio 2012. This will drop the support for Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64. The 32-bit version is still built with Visual Studio 2008 in order to retain the support for the widest Windows operating systems.

In this release, the task bar progress display, as a new facility in Windows 7,  is finally added. When the application window is minimized,  a small video window will be shown on the desktop corner, with progress and transcoding speed info displayed in the title bar. If you don’t want to preview the transcoding video, simply close this window.

Next release of MediaCoder will be built with Visual Studio 2012 (Stanley posted on September 28th, 2012 )

For nearly 4 years, MediaCoder has been built with Visual Studio 2008. Now it’s time for a change. Switching to Visual Studio Express 2012 will drop the built application’s compatibility with Windows 2000, which now has already become no big deal. Some slight performance boost is expected with the new compiler, which will benefits most users, while an important benefit for myself  is the more sleek programming environment.
