Version details
2.4 (14-Mar-2016)
- quality settings now are part of presets, i.e. for different presets now can be selected different quality settings. Accordingly these settings were moved to 'Add...' windows. These windows now have More/Less buttons to show/hide quality settings and few other options that might be need not every time the clip is being added
- properties pane has new Quality panel. All quality settings now can be viewed and changed there for already added clips
- option to select preferred audio quality in video. When selected 'Auto', an audio quality is being selected basing on video quality: for best video - best audio, for 1080p-3072p - nearest to 384kbps (i.e. still the best as for now), for 720p - 256kbps (almost always the best, one exception is 5.1 audio), for 360p-480p - 128kbps, for 240p - 64kbps, for 144p - 48kbps
- option to give precedence to the format over the quality. When two formats are being compared, 'Priority of formats' is used only after quality comparison. Thus it is used only when qualities of video and audio streams are equal. This is not the way that some people expect or would like it to work. So now such behavior can be changed using this option
- adaptation for screen readers. Read topic Screen readers for details
- changes related to portable mode. From now program is portable by default. To make it not portable, need to add file named 'nonportable' (without quotes) in the program directory. This is automatically covered by installation but if someone is making portable/nonportable manually then this is important to know. Also portable mode now can be specified in installer command line using /PORTABLE parameter (about parameters read topic Installer command line parameters). Other change - ability to remux formats now is part of executable, external ffmpeg is need only for transcoding. In other words, if in 'Add ...' windows Target is Original Format then external ffmpeg is not need. All other binaries are already optional, so now smallest portable config consists only of just one program exe file
- changes in check for update. Checking period now can be configured and there is available checking for new beta versions. Availability of new version will be indicated by a contrast icon in the toolbar instead of popup message window. In case of screen readers icon is appended with appropriate text
- tabs of properties pane were moved to top by default. Right-click on tabs to change their position to any side you like. Also properties pane can be hidden using Tools menu
- analysis has been improved to get precise fps for more videos. If analysis is turned off, will be used expected fps values based on itag (Youtube-only)
- fixed wrong video/audio streams order in destination files in some cases
- fixed subtitles downloading (due to changes on Youtube)
- updated translation. Thanks to Cookie Lee, Åke Engelbrektson, 大眼仔~旭, AlFipapa, Marco C., niknik, hierrete, Edgar 'Fast Edi' Hoffmann, Yonta, Matt H
