EncodeHD 1.0.94 Released

EncodeHD 1.0.94 Released

"EncodeHD" is a application written by Dan Cunningham which will re-encode all types of video files for use on your Xbox 360, home media player or other on-the-go device. EncodeHD replaces the older application named "Encode360".

The most recent version of EncodeHD has been released. Quite a useful program for anyone who wants to convert their favorite videos into an xbox 360 viewable format. Just a few months ago we reported how EncodeHD was first released as beta, and now it has turned into a full fledged program! Be sure to download this latest release and check back in to 360-HQ for when the newest version comes out.

EncodeHD Beta 0.80 Released!

EncodeHD Beta 0.80 Released!
Published by: HQM0NSTERB0Y on Saturday, December 13, 2008

"EncodeHD" is a application written by Dan Cunningham which will re-encode all types of video files for use on your Xbox 360, home media player or other on-the-go device. EncodeHD replaces the older application named "Encode360".

EncodeHD is still in an early beta stage and as such, may not work exactly as expected.

EncodeHD isn't even a month old and already its progressing well beyond expected. Exactly one week ago we posted a story about how version 0.71 was released and already Dan Cunningham has gotten it up to 0.80, it is progressing very nicely!


With the new update comes a lot of bug fixes and new features such as:
  • NEW: Option to specify the Output Folder
  • NEW: Advanced FFmpeg Flags option, for adding to the FFmpeg command-line
  • NEW: MP4 Artwork (thanks to AtomicParsley). MyFile.Avi + MyFile.Jpg or Png = MyFile.Mp4 w/ArtWork! :)
  • NEW: UI Enhancements and a brand new icon, thanks to the Simplicio Icon Set
  • CHANGE: H.264 quality improvements. Slightly increases encoding times, but it�s worth it
  • CHANGE: Disabled H.264 remuxing due to av_interleaved_frame_write_error. Investigating workarounds�
  • CHANGE: Removed AviSynth (AVS) as an encodable file-type, until I can implement a workable solution to MediaInfo handling
  • CHANGE: Rewrite of output folder / filename validation code. Much more reliable now
  • CHANGE: Lots of small bugfixes
  • FIX: MPEG4 could fail with �unable to assign thread� error
  • FIX: Non-AC3 5.1 audio was not being down-mixed to 2 channel AAC
  • FIX: A/V sync issues with certain XVid files
  • FIX: Audio crackling issues on Apple trailers

Keep tuned into 360-HQ for the newest version when it becomes available

EncodeHD v0.71 Beta for Xbox 360 Released!

EncodeHD v0.71 Beta for Xbox 360 Released!

"EncodeHD" is a application written by Dan Cunningham which will re-encode all types of video files for use on your Xbox 360, home media player or other on-the-go device. EncodeHD replaces the older application named "Encode360".

EncodeHD is still in an early beta stage and as such, may not work exactly as expected

So firstly, let’s talk EncodeHD. Look at the current beta release (0.71) as a ‘technology preview’ of sorts. The idea here is to verify that we’ve got the primary encoding mechanisms up to scratch. So what I’m looking for here is to make sure that video converts for all devices as expected and that the quality is good (or great).


The key things to note for EncodeHD are:
  • Outputted video is MPEG4 and H.264 with AAC (or AC3) audio, NOT WMV (this is not strictly for X-Box 360 anymore)
  • This means that 5.1 audio for the X-Box 360 is not yet supported in these formats
  • Subtitles are also not yet possible, although I’m looking into it
As of now, there’s still a lot of unimplemented functionality that will be added later. If you want to see something in particular, please let me know. However, if it’s going to cludge up the interface and start making things complex, I may not implement requests. We’ll have to see.

One of the nice things about EncodeHD is that it has built-in bug reporting. If you hit a problem, it will ask you if you want to submit a bug report - including all the details I need to help solve the issue. If however, the problem is with video output, it may not detect any problems. In this case, could I ask you to email my bug-tracking system: [email protected], and attach the EncodeHD.Log file which you can find in your Temp folder (Click Start > Run and type %TEMP% to access it).

Encode360 v2.0 beta2 Release for Xbox 360

Encode360 v2.0 beta2 Release for Xbox 360
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, November 30, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Media Center, Xbox 360,

Encode360 is an application designed to take your DivX/XVID etc video files and convert them to high quality WMV's which can be played by the X-Box 360

This release has highly detailed debugging information in case of a problem or bug. If you encounter something, be sure to copy the debug log into the post so I have something to work with.



Added:
- x64 Support (untested, i don't have x64 :()
- Microsoft Zune screen resolution support (untested, i don't have a Zune :()
- Support for encoding VOB files (very very experimental!)
- Enable / Disable Explorer(info) Context Menu "Process with Encode360" (experimental)
- Default Settings can now be saved
- Debugging Information Window (With oooodles of debugging information)
- Minimize to System Tray
- Added PayPal link to the About Box. Please make a donation if you feel like it!

Changed:
- Major internal code restructuring and refactoring. Let's hope I fixed more than I broke eh? :)
- Dramatically improved encoding times
- Reduction in CPU overhead (more responsive system)
- Title no longer contains path where the file was originally encoded

Fixed:
- MKV file format wasn't recognised
- Changing the Audio / Video Bitrate quality did nothing. Was always 98%. Doh
- Not using auto-scale caused encoded videos to resize anyway, and badly
- Move processed files option failed
- Sometimes, clicking Stop on a batch encode wouldn't work
- Numerous other minor bugfixes
