Update - MediaCoder 0.3.5

[techultra]

MediaCoder is a free (open source) audio/video converter, putting
together many excellent audio/video softwares from the open source
community into one friendly GUI. On video side, MEncoder is used as
back-end, which provides support for nearly all known video compression
and container formats as well as rich and useful video filtering
features (e.g. post-processing, 3D de-noise). On audio side, MPlayer
and Winamp input plugins used as decoders, various encoders integrated,
MediaCoder can simply batch transcode among any known audio formats,
with tags transferred, file names generated, and even performing audio
filtering (e.g. resample, normalize) on the fly.

Typical applications:

- Improving compression / reducing file size (audio+video ->
audio+video) e.g. MPG/VOB/AVI/RMVB/MOV/MP4 -> AVI/MKV/MP4
(Xvid/DivX/H.264 + MP3/OGG/AAC)
- Extracting audio track (audio+video -> audio) e.g.
MPG/VOB/AVI/RMVB/MOV/MP4 -> MP3/OGG/AAC/MPC
- Converting to normal VCD/DVD player ready video files (audio+video ->
MPEG) e.g. RMVB/MOV -> MPEG 1/2
- Converting from lossless or high-bitrate audio to low-bitrate audio
to play with portable DAP (audio -> audio) e.g. APE/FLAC/WavPack (+ CUE
sheets) -> MP3/AAC/WMA
- Ripping CDs and compressing it on the fly e.g. CD tracks->
APE/FLAC/WavPack/MP3/OGG/AAC/WMA/MPC

Supported source formats:

- Audio: MP3, OGG/Vorbis, AAC, MusePack, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, WavPack,
APE/APL, WAV, CUE Sheets, and any other formats supported by Winamp
input plugins
- Video: AVI (Xvid/DivX/H.264), MPEG1/2/4, QuickTime (mov), WMV/ASF,
RealMedia (rmvb), MP4, Matroska (mkv)
- CUE Sheets

Supported target audio formats:

- Lossy: MP3 (Lame), OGG/OGM (Vorbis), AAC (iTunes, Nero AAC Encoder,
FAAC), AAC+/Parametric Stereo (CT, Helix), MusePack, WMA
- Lossless: FLAC, WavPack, Monkey's Audio (APE), WMA Lossless, WAV

Supported target video formats:

- H.264, Xvid, DivX 4/5, MPEG1/2/4, H.263 etc.

Supported target container formats:

- AVI, MPEG 1/2, Matroska, MP4

That update sure came out in a hurry, and I can't seem to locate a
history of changes. Any idea what's different from ver. 0.3.4 ?

MediaCoder 0.3.5 is out. Please uninstall the previous version and
download the full pack to upgrade.
Now 3gpp reference AAC+ encoder is included in the full pack and can
just be brought into play.
Yesterday AOL has sent me a mail to press me to stop bundling Nullsoft
Winamp plugins and AAC+V2 encoder in MediaCoder distribution. So I have
replaced all Nullsoft stuff with open source alternatives. Let's say
good bye to Nullsoft. However, the interfacing code is still there.
Whether using it or not is up to you (of course you need to agree the
statement shown). EDIT: Something missing in the package. Repackaged
the full pack.

Thanks for replying! I kinda was expecting Real to be the one sending a
C&D. Oh well, I don't use Winamp or any other Nullsoft stuff that I'm
aware of, so not a big deal.

I should probably add, "for me at least".
