I record television shows with Windows 7 Media Center.
I convert to MPEG and remove commercials with VideoReDo TVSuite V4 (latest release).
I have been using MediaCoder for conversion/compression to MP4 using CUDA H.264 and LAME MP3 since December 09. Love the product, has been great.
I recently upgraded from 0.7.3.4616 to 0.7.3.4640 and am encountering a bug. The conversions works correctly but the GUI interface has issues.
1. When the conversion starts the Current Task and Total Tasks bars are pegged all the way to the right with only one non-blue box remaining. They remain this way from the beginning until the end of the conversion.
2. In the main window, next to the file name, the State shows 99.0%. It remains this way from the beginning until the end of the conversion.
3: In the Statistics window, the Time Remained value is initially blank. After a short time it shows 4 secs and stays that way until the end.
I did a complete uninstall and reinstall when I upgraded to the new version.
My system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Asus M3A79-T MB
Phenom II 940 Quad
4GB memory
EVGA 8800 GTS 512 - latest drivers
I have noted that the Video (0): value is MPEG-PES in version 4640 versus MPEG Video in 4616 and that other values are missing. I am including the file Properties and File Details from both versions below:
