Comments and Reviews
Pros: Small download and install size. Nice looking with many features, Uses free open source tools for the "components" Will probably work well on XP (but with a load of outdated encoders).
Cons: The authors never update the core components, only the GUI. Most of the encoders fail to install on newer versions of Windows. So far I only got the ancient MP3, AAC and FLAC encoders to install on a Win7 system. Had to install the components on a WinXP system to copy across to Win7.
Has real potential, but for commercial software shows a lack of effort with security and updating the free open source components that do the work. Find a free alternative, or at least something using current and secure code.

This is a wonderful free utility that's quite useful in many ways. It's seldom that you encounter products and good people that are willing to share their skills and ideas to help others without asking for something in return. Thank you.
Not free or too useful these days.
