- supports .avi, .mov, .vob, .mpg, .wmv
- auto determines source resolution and calculates rescaled resolution (auto saves aspect ratio), but also has an option to use wide-screen resolution or use auto-crop before rescaling to wide-screen (also saves aspect ratio)
- video section has all commonly used mencoder options
- supports 3 codecs - "DivX", "XviD" and "x264"
- supports 2 encoding modes: constant bitrate and variable bitrate ("quantizer")

v.0.9.1:
- an option to change 'frames per second'
- an option to use MediaInfo to read Aspect Ratio of the source - some video have black borders, but in AR info they contain real resolution (without black borders) - in this case it can help to correctly crop video
- now you can manually edit original resolution values
- a few little modifications

v0.9.2:
- a number of different fixes. Now it should work with any paths...

v0.9.5:
- a lot of new features
- new design
- VBR audio support
- advanced settings
- bitrate calculator
- pmp_muxer 2.00

v0.9.6:
- File Info page
- Codepage Info
- small fixes

v0.9.7:
- PMP Muxer 2.01
- New feature to convert video without re-encoding (we need re-encoding to rescale video) (limit is 720x512)

v0.9.8:
- x264 (AVC) support
- small feature with subtitles: support for desc fonts (put desc.font into program directory and check setting)

v1.0.0:
- DVD support (except subtitles yet)
- wmv files supported

v1.0.1:
- suport DVD encode from a hard drive (choose a "VIDEO_TS" dir using a button)

v1.0.2:
Bug fixed: The option to encode only a fragment from the movie doesn't work with streamcopy on.

v1.1.0
- New window "Crop menu" added
- Automatic recognition of black bars (borders) and cropping them ("Autocrop blackbars" in Crop menu)
- Function converting symbols from win to dos fully rewritten, now it should work on all languages and systems
- DVD recognition rewritten, now it works without running .bat file, all work is done inside a programm
- Subtitles are now opened automatically if a file with same name and subtitle extension is found
- You can just press "Run encoding" without adding to queue if only one video file should be encoding
- some small fixes

v1.2.0
- x264 AVC fast mode: can increase speed up to 2x at the cost of quality
- Autocrop black bars now analyze not the beginning, but the middle of the video (to avoid analyzing the title)
- Crop menu has a progress bar indicating the process of analyzing black bars
- An ability to change number of frames that should be analyzed for black bars
- New XviD mode: "cartoon" (activate this if your encoded sequence is an anime/cartoon. It modifies some XviD internal thresholds
so XviD takes better decisions on frame types and motion vectors for flat looking cartoons)
- In x264 AVC mode "subq" (subpel refinement quality) is editable on the main form
- Preview time bug is fixed
- Some crop bugs are fixed
