@mysh, would it be possible to put an option to resize the app since i have a 15-inch monitor running at 800x600, a part of the app display gets cut out. Right now i have to change my display settings to 1024x768 manually in order to see the conversion process. Thanks

I am having the same problem as pepi and iori.

I click convert and all that happens is it opens the destination folder and deletes my original video.

i can send you the lastrun.log if you tell me how to get it. Im a bit of a noob with this sort of thing.

Thanks

Don't know if this is a bug, but your temp folder must be another as the final folder, because if you close m3 after the convert it delets all files in the temp folder.

@RandomHero the lastrun.log file is in the folder of the program.

mysh explained to me about a file which was .avi, it had to be .wmv, but still there is the problem with the .mov file that i can't convert

Hi mysh,

I seem to have problems when encoding audio but am hoping my message might help with a possible solution!

I know your software is Alpha, you asked for people to send problems, so here we go,

whenever I encode just audio the results seem really iffy compared to a full video&audio encode (plus the resulting file won't play in media player as there is some information missing in the file header)


(Any chance of 'drag & drop' for files to be encoded with M3)?


Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Dcuk

UPDATE:

I followed the advice given by mysh and am now being amazed at how good the Nero sound conversion is going through M3!

if you go for full compression HE AAC v2 at very low bit rates (I find 32bit the best and is the lowest bitrate to still hold all audio dynamics, try it and see!)

The problem I had (see above) is that I didn't know there are very few media players that can handle the encoded file due to the very complex way the file is compressed (I won't go into details (hey! who cheered then!)

Foobar2000 is one
http://www.foobar2000.org/

The other is the latest version of Winamp
http://www.winamp.com/

Both FREE!

Other players will either not play the file (inc. Windows media player) or will choke while trying! Some will only manage to play the m4a file in mono (yuck!)

So if you think the sound of your low bitrate m4a/mp4's is poor, give one of the players above ago and be trully amazed at what can be achieved!

Thank you again to Mysh for his really hard work and the amount of time he's putting into M3!

Cheers,
Dcuk

Hi mysh,
Thank you for your reply.

Another quick one about aspects, I mentioned before that I use 1.25 when I manually crop and you're using 1.33, the real conversion PAR should be 1.22 when converting from 720x576 as 8 lines either side of the frame are not usually used so it's actually 704x576 or 704/576=1.2222 which produces the nearest circle you can get, 320x240 has a DAR of 4:3 PAR 1.3333 but in encoding we should use the source file for PAR calculation instead of the destination PAR

1.33


1.22

Screen grabs from 'Pussycat dolls - Buttons video'
cropped and resized 320x240


(I forgot till now, I used to use 1.25 on the k750i as the way I used to encode videos to get full 25fps smooth as silk was a lower resolution that was stretched to fill the screen so needed 1.25 to fix the proportions at the time)

Hope this helps in some small way with your program!
Cheers,
Dcuk

@ Mysh.

Hey! your M3 thing is great!!

i was trying to get podcasts to work on my K800, but M3 dosent recognise the
M4V format! is there any extra download or somthing to make it work?

they are podcasts from unofficial sources, and dont contain any protection, so they work. Podcasts from Itunes cannot be changed

Try to rename it to .mov and see if it works. Otherwise you need a codec for that format.
