Comments and Reviews
This developer has a long history abusing users and the GPL community.
five years later (now) and nothing has improved
This is still adware: ALL adware is malware by definition
This is not special software. It is a frontend for ffmpeg

I remember this app from when I was a child. It has been in development since 2005. At that time, it was an open-source project that won the SourceForge Project of the Year award.
Eighteen years have passed, but the app hasn't changed beyond packing a new version of FFmpeg with each release. It still sports the same hideous, unappealing UI that hinders complicated transcoding projects. The developer lost interest in it in December 2009 and turned it into a closed-source cash trap.
There are many better alternatives.
I cannot trust this software nor should you.
mediacoder is free in the same way being beaten to death is free
neither are good choices
I don't mind paying for software. I do mind software that pretends to be free, then demands money when you try to use key features. HEVC encode, un-lobotomized batch encoding, NVENC all require money.
I actually LOOKED for pricing and the possibility of paying for a license before downloading, but the author's site swore up and down it was free. Then the other shoe dropped - pay $190 to use the features listed.
Welp, I don't do business with liars...
This is the dopest converter out there (if you know some ropes), but looks like somewhere since the beginning of 2014 with just about every new version this program is more and more of a pain in the ass to use for free. Good thing I was wise enough to keep on my hard drive an old 2013 version... For newcomers on Windows - Xmedia Recode is the next great thing, where nobody's forcing you to go premium like mad, plus maybe even with some additional features.
MediaCoder is most powerful as a freeware in its kind, but the bad is it's quite buggy all the time...
