Just want to say thanks for this. XMedia Recode has proven to be at least as effective as other freeware media converters such as FormatFactory. Might not be as pretty but the actual results the app produces are excellent. Hopefully others are not put of by the utilitarian GUI.

Thanks Smiling

Install issue

TRexian - October 29, 2009 - 9:41am

I just downloaded and installed this via the PAF install new app option, and it returned an error that it couldn't find the xMedia app, and to reinstall. I did see that it reached out to the remote host to download the "main" app, but was unsure if it actually installed. I looked in the subfolders, and it *did* appear to be there.

I reinstalled by navigating to the installer and installing it "manually." It again reached out to download the main app (I had deleted the previous directory, so it was a 'fresh' install). Then, went back to PA and started it up.

It was likely a one-off situation, but still wanted to alert you to it. Smiling

Also, when I go to designate the target directory for the new file, it defaults to a non-existent \documents folder on my portable drive, even if I've navigated to a different folder. But then, when I hit cancel, it all of a sudden knows where I want it to go. Smiling Again, maybe a one-off situation, or an issue with the main proggie.

A couple quick tests and it does really well, though. I've never used it before (had SUPER for years) but this looks like a winner.

Thanks for the report

prapper - October 29, 2009 - 9:54am

I just did a fresh install and it ran the app without problem. It does take a little while to start up though, it has to be said! Hopefully it was just a one-off.

Yeah, I set 'X:\Documents' as the default but if it doesn't exist it should just fall back to the local 'My Documents'. At least it does here Smiling Once you've saved to the directory you want, it should remember it from then on though.

Thanks again for the feedback. Give me a shout if you have any more trouble.

I also had a similar issue

solanus - November 27, 2009 - 12:08pm

I also installed using the Menu's "Install a New App" option, and it gave the similar error message that it couldn't find XMedia Recode.exe.

So I deleted the folder, and installed by double-clicking "XMediaRecodePortable_2.1.4.8_Development_Test_1.paf.exe" and browsing to the correct folder, after which it worked fine.

This is the first time any app has not worked using the "Install a New App" option for me.

Weird.

Strange

prapper - November 27, 2009 - 12:35pm

Yes, that is weird. I just did two clean installs from the menu, 1.5.2 (external hard drive) and 2.0b3 (USB stick) to test and it went fine. I had a look at the "installer.ini" file to see if I'm missing one of the finer points but I can't see anything amiss, although the file should be named "...online.paf.exe". That's a mistake on my part but I'm not sure it should cause this problem.

I really can't explain this at the moment Sad

Speed up

J Neutron - October 29, 2009 - 10:11am

Warning: Not for everybody!

Loading this program even from my internal hard drive took too long. I have no current intention of converting anything to a Nokia or LG (or any other) phone/handheld, so figured that the \Profile directory was extraneous.

I deleted the folder, which includes 435 files.

With no other changes, the program now loads in about half the time.

Sounds like a good tip

prapper - October 29, 2009 - 11:14am

Sounds like a good tip Smiling

Re-download

J Neutron - October 29, 2009 - 11:51am

Yeah, I figure that if I really need to convert to a phone, I can always re-install XMediaRecode.

Or for that matter, I'm pretty sure a person could kill off all of the profiles except for the phones models/brands currently in the household.

Pre-Release?

horusofoz - November 30, 2009 - 6:37pm

I've been using this for over a month now and have distributed among about ten others. None have had issues. Is it likely the release team to get this to pre-release?

Hey Solanus

Thanks for trying but I'm referring to XMedia Recode rather than XnView.

Crashing on Windows 7

dougakins - December 2, 2009 - 3:02pm

I'm running Windows 7, and whenever I try to open an avi file that uses the 4CC dvsd Codec, XMedia Recode crashes on me. It also crashes if I try to open an mp4 file.

If I use "Save old format avi" in VirtualDub, I can then open that new avi in XMedia Recode, but not the original avi with the dvsd codec.

I also tried running this on a Virtual XP, and it crashes on the same avi file.

Base application

J Neutron - December 2, 2009 - 3:37pm

Sounds like a problem in the codec that the base application uses, and not a fault of the portabilization of the application.

As such, you should probably notify the program's author to get it fixed.

neutron1132 (at) usa (dot) com

Weird

dougakins - December 2, 2009 - 4:11pm

It's weird because I can play the same files in other programs (Windows Media Player, VLC, etc), and I can open and encode them in Handbrake as well. But they're crashing in SUPER and I also just installed the non-portable version of XMedia Recode and it crashed in there as well so - guess I have some investigating to do.

EXACTLY!

J Neutron - December 2, 2009 - 6:12pm

If it crashes in the portable version, and it crashes in the standard version, then it means that the program itself has the issue.

You've completed your investigating, I'd say. If you want to take this any further, you can:

  • Figure out the codec that VLC is using and try to make XMediaRecode use it
  • Track down the source of the bad XMediaRecode codec and get them to fix it
  • Track down the author of XMediaRecode and get him to fix it

Alternately, as the old adage goes, if it hurts when you bang your head against the wall, stop doing it. In other words, either use VLC (which works for you) or as you said before, if you change the file, it will play.

@Test release Team: Has anyone checked this out? The app works fine, a good example of the online installer and no issues at all.

No problem :-)

No idea of the numbers I'm afraid.
