<<Back to software description
Changes for v1.5 - v1.6
- Updated conversion engine (FFmpeg) and multimedia information library (MediaInfo).
- New MP3 encoder settings: stereo mode (L/R stereo, joint stereo), encoding algorithm quality, lowpass filter.

- For easier identification, video streams are now highlighted in red, audio - green, subtitles - purple, chapters (menu) - blue.
