Itâ€™s been an awfully long time coming, but I figure thatâ€™s it high time I released a Stable build. For everyone whoâ€™s stayed with 2.0b5 since the last release around Christmas, thereâ€™s been a LOT of changesâ€¦.

Encode360 2.0 beta 6 Changelog (Abridged):

NEW: FLV & WMV Support
NEW: Ability to Drag/Drop re-order of items in the encoding list.
NEW: â€œEnable / Disable Subtitles through FFDshowâ€ to Advanced Settings
NEW: â€œPreferred Subtitles Languageâ€ Option to Advanced Settings. This is so that PreProcessing Scripts (such as the updated one for MKV files) can extract and use them
NEW: ETA on Encoding Completion (Requested by damski)
NEW: Shutdown PC when finished (Requested by Hitcher)
CHANGE: Massive internal re-write. I had been putting this off for a while, but eventually I had to do it. Iâ€™ve compartmentalized all of the Encoder code into a separate class and re-written huge segments. This has eliminated a HUGE amount of the codebase, and made it a lot more flexible.
CHANGE: Disabled .NET x86 directive. This means x64 isnâ€™t currently supported, until someone gets around to re-compiling specifically for 64-bit. Schlicky will hopefully do this over the next few days
CHANGE: Huge overhaul to the Aspect Ratio handling code. Now works with Non-Square Pixel videos (Thanks to Zen)
CHANGE: Seriously cleaned up Debug Information
CHANGE: Rewrite to the PreProcessing Script code. New MKV PPS Scriptlet linked below. Extract to the Encode360 folder (will create a subfolder called MKV\\)
CHANGE: Logging now includes less useless details, and more important details
CHANGE: Debug Info is no longer a Top-Most Window
CHANGE: An error is no longer displayed if no subtitles were found in an MKV
CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.5.0 (LOTS of media-detection bugs fixed)
FIX: Framerate â€œDoubleâ€ error could occur if not using English as your Locale Settings (thanks to Zen)
FIX: Certain audio streams returned an invalid sampling rate which caused Encode360 to bomb out
FIX: If Autoscale was not enabled and was a saved setting, the Output Resolution was always 0Ã-0 unless you ticked and unticked Autoscale
FIX: Non-Square Pixels were always detected, even when the source video wasnâ€™t
FIX: Invalid duration times in a number of container formats, ie, MKV, OGM (which led to a host of other problems)
FIX: Force 2 Channel Audio Downmix setting now saved
FIX: Force Quality Based Audio Encoding setting now saved
FIX: Better Exception handling when running PreProcessing Scripts
FIX: Ratio division bug - see http://dcunningham.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=283
FIX: If autoscale was disabled, Height / Width values were inverted resulting in a bad encode

MKV Subtitle Pre-Processing Scriptlet Changelog:

NEW: Subtitle Language Support
NEW: Support for additional subtitle formats: UTF, IDX, SUB, SRT, SMI, RT, TXT, SSA, AQT, MPL and USF
CHANGE: Better debug output for troubleshooting
CHANGE: Updated MKVToolNix
