i have to say it works fine for me, seems like the best free transcoder ive ever used. i usually use ulead media studio but that cost a lot. this is a great free transcoder and every1 should use it. now i just wish they had .flv convertion.

"Where's the source code?"And the Linux version.

It's news to me, and good news at that

Transcoding is _horrible_. Why the hell would anyone want to transcode from mp3 to ogg, or from DivX to wma, or in fact from any compressed format to another? Once you've run a raw AV feed through a compressor, that's it. Transcoding it will just make it look/sound _horrible_.

"Why are the mac only programs always the mac user's favorite?"Get a Mac and find out for yourself! ;-) I can think of 3 favourite apps of mine that are only on the Mac: TextMate, HandBrake, MacTheRipper. HandBrake started on BeOS though, so technically it's not Mac only. But that's only 3 apps, I have many other favourites that are cross-platform, or at least run on a wide variety of unix-like OSs.

Source code in SVN, with public access. You should know this is a common thing for SourceForge projects! Why I don't state this on website is that in China, people don't obey GPL.

Fast speed or good quality is all depend all how you make the settings.

Will support it if there are really many users require for it. But I am not in favor of non-open-source audio/video formats.

This is known to be a mis-reporting by norton anti-virus.

This is suspicious freeware. For a bit the author was using Google Ads in the interface, which is a violation of Sourceforge terms. Now he gives the option to turn them off and to display a Paypal button. I don't think this belongs on Sourceforge, and certainly using an HTTP server built into the program is suspicious alone.This software is unintuitive, heavy, and suspicious, shifty at best. It should be removed form Sourceforge and there is actually an open case about just that at Sourceforge. Sites are listing it as adware. IMHO, stay away form this one.

This is not a adware, but an open source free software, with all source code freely available. I just hate people who spread tales and mislead others.

This is one of the best programs I have ever used. Kaspersky finds no viruses/trojans.

I'd rather prefer to have a bunch of well commented .BAT files that would do the same things that MediaCoder does. Isn't it just a GUI on top of third party command line tools?
stanleyhuangSep 11, 2006
No, it's much more than a GUI of command line tools.
