Hi Gang,

I am looking for a all in one video conversion tool. I have used CUCU soft's thing, but it does not work all that well in VIsta and keeps crashing.

Is there anything out there that can do waht i am looking for in VISTA?

ANd yes i know.. get away from vista ;)

Please note that this preset is quite slow but will make a H.264 + aacPlus file with best compression while retain very good quality. I use this to backup my videos.

You can save it to a XML file and load it with File -> Load Preset File in MediaCoder.

Suggestions welcome.
