Xmedia Recode not converting

[maxrockpro]

Hi, greetings to everyone!

I am unable to convert any video to any format. I have tried all the available versions, 3.0.3.9 right now. Since, Im using Windows 7 x64, tried both the installer and compact versions. Nothing works.

After, I click on 'Encode', the Encoding window comes up and then nothing happens. Only the 'Elapsed Time' clock is working, everything else just remains still. I have tried waiting upto 5-10 mins for the conversion to initiate, but doesn't work.

The 'Cancel' button doesn't work either, have to use the Task Manager to close Xmedia Recode. The created video file is always 0 bytes in size.

Please help!

Have you tried with different kind of video clips?

Or try another converter, winff, handbrake, tencoder, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply. As I said before, I am unable to convert any video to any format.

Different clips, different formats, different settings etc.

I really like Xmedia Recode. Really easy and very gud custom setting for the output file. Handles almost all audio formats, including DTS. I do not like down converting the audio.

I want to encode Hi Def videos with following settings:
MPEG4/AVC-1
High Profile @4.1
2-Pass encoding
DTS or AC3 or AAC 5.1
MKV or MP4

None of the above mentioned Apps support all these features combined. handbrake only supports upto Main Profile @4.0. Result is bad quality HD videos.

Xmedia Recode flawlessly worked on my old AMD system.

My new system specs:
Intel i5 Quad 3.10 GHz
ATI Radeon HD4650 1Gb
8 Gb DDR3
Seagate 360Gb
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64

Edit: I have finally got it to work after installing Windows Codec Pack. Don't see a reason as to how it helped.

Now, the only issue is that it will not convert MKV to X, X to MKV or MKV to MKV. I have tried different source files and output codecs, settings.

Hurray, it's Finally, Fully, Functional. Yipee!

It's unbelievable. The issue was Bitdefender 2011. I installed version 2012 and Xmedia Recode became flawless again. But, later BD 2012 caused other system issues and I had to install Norton 2012.

Issue resolved.
