Publisher's Description

Free universal audio/video batch transcoder

On video side, MEncoder is used as back-end, which provides support for nearly all known video compression and container formats as well as rich and useful video filtering features (e.g. post-processing, 3D de-noise).

On audio side, MPlayer and Winamp input plugins used as decoders, various encoders integrated, MediaCoder can simply batch transcode among any known audio formats, with tags transferred, file names generated, and even performing audio filtering (e.g. resample, normalize) on the fly.

Typical applications:

- Improving compression / reducing file size (audio+video -> audio+video): e.g. MPG/VOB/AVI/RMVB/MOV/MP4 -> AVI/MKV/MP4 (Xvid/DivX/H.264 + MP3/OGG/AAC)
- Extracting audio track (audio+video -> audio): e.g. MPG/VOB/AVI/RMVB/MOV/MP4 -> MP3/OGG/AAC/MPC
- Converting to normal VCD/DVD player ready video files (audio+video -> MPEG): e.g. RMVB/MOV -> MPEG 1/2
- Converting from lossless or high-bitrate audio to low-bitrate audio to play with portable DAP (audio -> audio): e.g. APE/FLAC/WavPack (+ CUE sheets) -> MP3/AAC/WMA
- Ripping CDs and compressing it on the fly: e.g. CD tracks-> APE/FLAC/WavPack/MP3/OGG/AAC/WMA/MPC

Supported source formats :

- Audio: MP3, OGG/Vorbis, AAC, MusePack, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, WavPack, APE/APL, WAV, CUE Sheets, and any other formats supported by Winamp input plugins
- Video: AVI (Xvid/DivX/H.264), MPEG1/2/4, QuickTime (mov), WMV/ASF, RealMedia (rmvb), MP4, Matroska (mkv)
- CUE Sheets

Supported target audio formats :

- Lossy: MP3 (Lame), OGG/OGM (Vorbis), AAC (iTunes, Nero AAC Encoder, FAAC), AAC+/Parametric Stereo (CT, Helix), MusePack, WMA
- Lossless: FLAC, WavPack, Monkey's Audio (APE), WMA Lossless, WAV

Supported target video formats :

- H.264, Xvid, DivX 4/5, MPEG1/2/4, H.263 etc.

Version 0.7.x is adware in part: it spawns a XUL window to fetch additional transcoding settings via it's "platform" while showing ads in a frame.
Version 0.7.x also contains "open candy" a needless component from optional malware install that "collects anonymous usage" information. It can be deleted. Great. Why leave it behind at all?

MediaCoder can no longer be downloaded as an archive... what other nefarious actions are performed by the installation wrapper? none now.. but who is to say that will not change? MediaCoder, according to its developer, is no longer open-source, but it continues to be hosted on sourceforge.
