MediaCoder

A M4V is a video-only version of MP4, much like how M4A is the audio-only version of a MP4 file. That's why you were getting no audio if you were trying to use the M4V format. If you're worried about files renaming themselves, just manually set the output folder to something else than the "Original ...

There is no particular one-size-fits-all configuration because depending on what you're trying to convert to, your settings will change. And to be fair, MediaCoder is actually fairly stable for the most part, some of the lesser known codecs might have problems though. As for QuickSync, I've never us...

Last time I used MediaCoder without a licence (which was a couple months ago), I did notice an increase in the popups compared to previous versions. So I don't think it is something that is happening solely to you...

Have you tried running MediaCoder with admin privileges? Right-click the program exe file, and there should be a "Run as Administrator" option. It needs it to connect to the licence server for some reason.

For the 3rd gen Apple TV would I just select the Apple TV (720p) preset and change the resolution to 1920x1080 when needed or does MediaCoder still really need a dedicated preset for the 3rd Apple TV? I suppose you could but you also need to change the bitrate as well at minimum. Maybe some of the ...

MediaCoder does not have DRM circumvention abilities so you will need to use another program (which won't be discussed here due to the legal stuff about DRM).
