Reviewing 5.0.2.866 Beta 10.7 (Jan 25, 2009)
Tried GX.Transcoder and loved it (well, some years ago ...)
... but it often crashed and needed to be re-installed before each usage :-(
... then found FormatFactory and would give it "ten" points,
... but there is a limit of 128 kbps, unfortunately :-(
SUPER obviously has no limits, but an awful GUI and is a little bit complicated to work with - I had to change the screen resolution first to find the startbutton at the bottom :-(
So, nobody is perfect, but you may live well with a triumvirat ...

Very buggy software, it crash often during conversion, and the interface is a just ugly. I prefer FormatFactory, it support the same input/output formats of GX::Transcoder, the interface is much more friendly, it's pretty solid and stable and is also free.

On my PC I have only a small amount of bugs. The player is not so easy to understand - the transcoder is simple and good. I don't understand your opinion? I don't use the other modules of this software, thats why i can not rate this parts.

It has nothing to do with V5 being a neverending beta; it has been buggy and cumbersome since its first release a year ago. Heck, even Winamp 5 has a much better transcoder (which is simple and fast to use at that).
