Problems galore! Everything seems to run slow. Player cant see more than 2 folders deep!!?? Even though the transcoder can...?? Couldn't play most of my music files as a result. Couldn't get it to open mpeg for tranz to mp3 !!? Seems to open only basic audio file types. Clicked on 'speaker' button and immediately got major app crash... Even if this thing worked it is ridiculous to take out 20Mb of HD for the functionality it has. Anyone looking at this should look at AIMP2 which is primarily a player but has excellent transcoder, recorder, library, tag edits etc. as utilities and takes out about 7Mb of hard drive. Something definitely wrong here because I really think the GxTranscoder of about 2 years ago was much better than this junk. It's getting worse over time.

Does it convert .flv files to .avi? and vice versa - does it do .avi to .flv? Thanks

Tried the previous version, blew up loading data base, This one seems to load my Db but is too slow to be useful (over 30k files). The progress bar at the bottom of the player tab is black with dark text so you have to struggle to see where it is in the process. No way to stop Db loading once it starts short of terminating the program. Once Db loading starts, nothing else seems to work. Tried registering on the support site, got into a loop with registering, never was able to successfully register. Nice program menus but not much use if you can't use them.

Nope, betanews is not rigged. The reason for the high rating is because GX::Transcoder version 2 was a really good software. The rating have been carried over from the previous version. You can download version 2.24 from here: http://germanixsoft.de/j...mp;gid=15&Itemid=27 This version 3 is really really buggy. And currently ver 3 only supports audio transcoding. There is going to be another series of buggy alpha builds when the video transcoder edition of version 3 is released.
