Hmm, still not great quality (IMO). Maybe it's the videos I'm converting.
Anyway, I opened the source to have a look and play, but I can't compile
because the source is missing a required library or something:
Code: Select all
---------------------------
PureBasic
---------------------------
Line 970: CreateToolBarXP() is not a function, array, macro or linked list
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
What is this, and where can I get it? A search here for "*CreateToolBarXP*"
reveals no matches.
Is it free? I assume so, due to GPL requirements?

Now that was (another) stupid think from my part to do. It's a toolbar library (freeware) made by "Le Soldat Inconnu" from the french forum. I'm gonna change the sources to use normal toolbar buttons.
Sorry.
[Edit]
I've updated it. It should be v0.6 Build 63. I've got the toolbar replaced with Gnozal's mod from Tips and Tricks (any tootolbar can have text under the buttons), and it almost looks the same. Lemme know it it makes any problems.
P.S. If you want to play with the quality settings, they are in the StartConversionProcedure(), the values are determined by -qmin and -qmax.
Cheers!

I know I can edit the app myself, but here's some things I noticed:
(1) The new splash screen has 3 x S in Bytessence.
(2) The "Status" column says "Waiting" during conversion, which is confusing.
I thought it was waiting for me to do something. It should say "Converting".
(3) The "Conversion finished successfully" MessageRequester has no title.
(4) It'd be nice to hit the Delete key to remove files from the list.
(5) English.ini has a spelling error for s103: "noting" should be "nothing".
(6) Can't convert FLV files? I get "FFmpeg error Code 1" in the Status field.
(7) Your web site has a few spelling errors: easyer, splitted*, definately.
On the plus side, the High quality setting is still too blocky for me, BUT the
Medium setting is now perfect! So don't change the Medium setting or I'll
have to kill you!
* It's just "split" in English, not "splitted".

Fixing... Either i have problems or I was really tired. Thanks for the report!
[Edit]
LOL, some of the bugs are here because of PB4.20 beta 1
. I'll report them to the team. Compiled with PB4.10, it behaves normally.

Fixed 1,2,3,4,5. For 6, I think there are only 2 versions of FLV files. I am not sure which one FFMpeg can demux :/. Maybe it only works with the old FLV version 1.x (2005).
[Edit]
There are more than two versions.
Fixed On the plus side, the High quality setting is still too blocky for me, BUT the
Medium setting is now perfect! So don't change the Medium setting or I'll
have to kill you! Smile
In this case, I have swapped medium with high and added qmax+1 in medium.
Oh and about the spelling, i think i fixed it. Lemme know if I missed something.
Thanks!

Infobyte! I am having issues getting the program to set an icon on the desktop.
My suggestion is: Allow that as an option for the users when they run the install... That way you can cut down on the amount of headaches is the user does not WANT an icon on desktop!

Hmm yes, that bugs me too
. I thought it over and over how to make it more dynamic and make it ask for things, but it's the architecture that's stupid (because it's made by me). I am working at it day and night (5:35 AM here) to get it better. A new version will be available in 2-3 days. I already made some changes to the whole behavior. I would have worked faster if I only had 1 program but with 3 it's hard
. Still, I don't complain.

Well I created a few graphics to help. I doubt you needed that help but I have a somple foder (incuding your originals because I zipped the whole thing! ) available for download:
http://www.bluemesapc.com/Downloads/Splash.zip
\
About 1.4 megs +/-
If you can use any or wish to include... feel free. If you hate them all... I will not chunk it your way again!
I have a small ICON folder with attachable icons that look like Download as well... If you were interested. All graphics mine.

Wow! Very professional looking! I'll add them
.
Thank you!
[Edit]
Yup, I seem to have no other way than to rewrite the whole stub. If I just modify the current code it it will be a huge mess :/. Don't worry, i do this with all my programs in the moment they become bloated
