One of the components behind Filmredux is mencoder and the version in the current build was for intel’s only, causing conversions to fail on non-intel mac’s. This has now been compiled as a universal binary and will be available in the next Filmredux release, if you just want the file for now to drop into the filmredux app its here.

The mkv problem was something that had been going on for a while – the quality slider was causing issues when converting a mkv file, setting it to anything other than lowest option caused a floating point exception, well finally changed the code to fix this issue. Now all quality levels are functional for any of the Apple devices. Use Check for updates to get this version.

In response to requests for 10.4 support, in the filmredux support package a release is now available that supports both 10.4 and 10.5 on ppc or Intel macs. If you have already got the support pack installed then you don’t need to download this as there are no changes to its contents other than building it as a Universal Binary of libfaac. If you need the universal build grab it here

Well have spent a few more hours on it tonight, have got some code in place pointing to dummy functions for the non working formats. Now it looks like im gonna be spending some time in the terminal compiling many different libraries for the formats.

Well my time with filmredux is going well,. Have added the App Icon, put in a check for the library files with a window to auto download them if needed, Seems all the conversion to apple formats are working already the others need a bit of work. sparkle update has been uploaded so your versions will update to, (if your using my build of it) same link as before All my files are now signed with a self signed cert, so sparkle can verify them etc.

Well Visualhub has sadly departed but they released some open source code called FilmRedux.
