Multimedia | MovieConverter Studio 1.54

MacOsX Encoding software for DVD (and DV), managing telecine and interlaced.

Features:
The same quality as iDVD…
…fully decodes your iMovie files (and not only half of its resolution like other software does)…
…and other type of files too (avi, wmv, etc).
Convert any video in PAL<>NTSC, without jerkiness or loss of quality.
Ability to pause the video encoding.
Fully automated (detection of the interlaced files, their readout order, etc).
Automations can be overridden by user's settings (if you do not like the automations).
Automatic adaptation of the aspect ratio for any video (even the anamorphous ones).
Ability to transform any video in 16:9 or 4:3 PanScan (whatever its original size or its interlacing).
Live preview before encoding.

New in this version:
Setup Wizard: When you first start the application, a wizard will help you set your preferences.
Encoding module:
The DVD preset "quality: superior" now produces a higher quality, while being faster and more compatible than previously.
Your HD editings (from iMovie or FinalCut) are better converted to DVD.
FinalCut nomore complains while giving to it a DV file from "DV output" (end of FinalCut's silly lament :-)).
Correction: Cut the beginning of a file could cause a very noticeable decline in quality (in some cases)!
Correction: The 5.1 audio from your .mkv will be no more converted to mono during standard conversions.
Correction: No more out-of-synch with DVB containing H264 video + AAC audio.
Correction: No more concerns with these same files captured via EyeTV and its Program Guide (audio extraction failed).
Gadget (?): Set up a new specific output for TiVo (recorder / broadcaster mainly distributed in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia). PS: Currently, this is only an output preset (without any future evolutions until somebody provide a sample to me and his associated Mac key :-P).
Multiplexing module: Multiplex elementaries streams usually failed (I made a typo in the code!).
All modules: Better management of audio and video starts within a single file (to keep them synchronized). A case has not yet run -in-theory (I have no example with this feature). If the start of your file is not handled yet, an alert will notify you and notify you the information necessary for my management (inform me about it, and your file will be managed in the next version ;-)).
All modules: Small corrections to the engine, internal changes that you will not even see but are more reliable to use, a lot of AppleScript code replaced by more robust code in Cocoa (PS: once replaced the remaining 56.000 lines of code in AppleScript, the application will be entirely written in Cocoa …estimate end in 25 years
