Great! Thanks for all your efforts!

Ok. New version has been put to the server.

Download that and test if the subtitle checkbox allows you to skip any problems with subtitles.

Subtitle support works at the moment only for windows pcs. It's only missing the path and filename for a font that's available on all macs. I put the subtitles to use arial font on windows. What would be the best font on osx for subtitles? What is the path (and filename) for the font?

New version avoids my problems with subtitles, thanks.
As far as fonts, I don't know what would be best.
I think the standard font dir would be:
/Library/Fonts/

In this dir I have:
Arial Rounded Bold
ArialHBBold.ttf

I have now updated (again) the OSX version. Could someone with OSX be so kind as to test it for me and try to convert some video with subtitles?
Subtitles need to be in srt format (I think that's the most common one).

Ill try and give it a shot when I get home tonight konttori.

New release folks!

It's a bit of a beta, may have some audio sync problems (I haven't had the time to test with a long file whether id does or does not).

The great news is that a) osx version is universal binary and b) media converter now includes color enhancement.

Now, what is that? On 770 the videos seem to be a bit too gray and dead. So, I added a fileter that will add a bit more contrast and quite a bit more saturation to the video. Results are great, must admit.

So, withour further ado, please go ahead and try it out:
windows: http://www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/Med...rter/setup.exe
osx: http://www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/Med...nverterOSX.zip
linux: http://www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/Med...erterLinux.zip

Version number is 0.99

Well, I can personally say that the Linux version of the Media Converter works great. No sync problems at all. Great work konttori!

Hi all,
the Media Converter looks great, but I have so far been unable to perform a single successful conversion. My AVIs gives me a "fail" and the wmv and mpg runs for between 11 and 37% and then it freezes my machine.
I'm using Java 1.5 on an XP machine. Would anyone have a suggestion for what's wrong?

Try making a conversion of this file:
http://www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/Med...x160sample.avi

If it goes well, then the problem is a bit in the files you are converting. Not saying that they are bad, but I've noticed that MC sometimes is not able to give the progress information on all videos. Thus, you could try making a 30 sec preview of them or letting your computer run for say 3h when you are trying to make the conversion.

i got a bunch of static using the default settings in os x, 10.4.7
