dmMediaConverter v2.4.1

[manolito]

Tested again with different sources, still no problems...

I uploaded the results with all relevant information here:

If your audio is in any other format than stereo, see this note in the WIKI:

Note: HE-AAC version 2 only handles stereo. If you have mono, or want to down-mix to mono, use HE-AAC version 1.

In such cases you need to use the example from the file "Main Page 2.jpg".

My version of DMM is the latest official one. I just cleaned up the folder which has FFmpeg in it, I did not want to have any leftovers of the included FFmpeg version (which is the shared version). Look at the screenshot...

I think I already mentioned that I am under Win7, and this will not change any time soon.


Good luck

Sorry for the late reply - I don´t get mail notifications, so I have to check manually for new responses and I am very busy at work at the moment - so I didn´t have time to investigate the issue further so far.
I appreciate your help, many thanx for aiding me! I will take a look at the issue once my schedule clears up and will get back then.

Looks like the current version 2.5.5 is no longer available for free, at least not for Windows... No idea if this is an oversight or if it was changed on purpose.

Whatever, for anyone who needs it, I still have it on my VideoHelp folder. Here is the link:

Hello manolito and a Happy New Year!
Why are you saying this, can you explain it? I haven't changed a thing on my site!
Of course it is still free.


EDIT: I have checked and indeed, the file was only visible to me since Google flag it as suspicious. It is shared from Google Drive.
I have asked for a human review of the file, this is the answer:

Google will review your file.
Someone from Google’s Trust & Safety team will review your file as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, i have posted a test version for Windows, so you can use it, v2.6.0.
Just overwrite your old exe file with it and rename it.
Look in About/Changelog for what's new. Small changes but i find them useful at least in my work flow.
As always, please, provide feedback! :-)

Thanks Marius for the prompt reply, and a Happy New Year to you, too...

I am still puzzeld about how badly Google treats their paying customers, their behavior is realy shabby. And their old motto used to be "Do no Evil". Long time ago...

Whatever, thanks for the new test version. It works well for my old conversion routines, but so far I did not test any of the new functions (simply because I never needed any of them, and I do not see the need in the future). Maybe you can tell me exactly which new funktions you want me to test...

Hi!
Yes, Google is not the same as it was some years ago, unfortunately.
This new features are useful when converting media files from web ripping. Ex. episodes from Netflix which contains a lot of subtitle
and audio streams in languages that you don't need and you need to bulk converting them.
I am using like this "Keep only this subtitle streams "
default,forced,unknown,eng,rum
Or you have videos that have an external subtitle file (SRT) which does not have language id and it will automatically map unknown subtitle to your desired language.
Also if you have an AMD GPU now it can use it's AMF engine for HW encoding.
Cheers!

how can I convert an mkv file into an mp4 file? I'm trying to convert some movie files from mkv format to mp4 format

[ReinerSchweinlin]

MP4 in this context is a container format, such as MKV... As long as you only want to put your audio-and video streams into another container (=keep the quality, codecs, etc... the same), you can simply remux them...

set everything to copy (should be default anyway), select your new container and go for it... very fast...

some containers can´t handle every type of stream others can - MKV can do anything, is very robust, etc... MP4 cannot handle everything, but a lot... Something to keep in mind, depending on what kind of files you have.. Might work as MKV, but not as MP4. Without knowing what exactly you want to achieve and why and which files you have - this is speculation.

I can't select mp4 as the new container as it only let's me select mkv

What I do is add mkv file to ADD FILES button and leave ENABLED and COPY as is. After that I click convert and it just makes another MKV file with no way to change container to MP4

[manolito]

This works fine here...

leave ENABLED and COPY as is

Both options have to be enabled (no idea what your default status is).

Then to the lower right you need to enter a full target file name with the desired extension (MP4 in your case), then click "Run Now" under "Actions" to the far right of the program window. Works each and every time here...


Good luck

Every time I do what you state to do I get a job failed each and every time. Aside from dmMediaConverter being used is there something else I need to have installed to make this program run correctly? Another thing I do is uncheck copy that way I can change bitrate then I click on copy again then I give file a name such as Cadillac Records.mp4 then click run and then I instantly get job failed.

I think I got it figured out. Thanks for the help bud.

Would you share with us which trick finally did it?
