In my experience, Badaboom sucks a lot. It could not open a SINGLE file a threw at it. Talk about horrible codec support. Therefore, I could never use it, so yeah. Its really not worth the money, thank god for BitTorrent so I did not waste my money.
Just try the iPhone settings. Or PSP.
I can't wait for a real video transcoder to start using CUDA or OpenCL or whatever, that would be amazing (and if it was OSS, or free, even better!)
I noticed that if you have the videos in a folder with non-english characters in the name it dont work.
like I had the videos in a folder called "GÖGN" and I got a "Could not open input file E:\GÖGN\whatever.avi" error for every video inside that folder, renaming the folder or moving the videofile outside the folder made badaboom except it.
I'm guessing users with non-english characters in theyr Windows user profile on a single drive computer may experience this especially, unless they have the video in a folder in the C\: root
