GOM Video Converter 1.1.1.69

GOM Video Converter is a tool that can encode various video formats to AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV and OGM files. After a brief installation in which you can enable the program to download some codecs, you have to select presets every time you initiate the application (e.g. Apple, Sony, Android, Blackberry, Microsoft). You can add one or more files (batch conversion is supported), configure output format and settings, set the output destination, and start converting.

You can configure output settings for the video codec (codec name, bitrate, key frame interval, video quality, resize filter), audio codec (codec name, format), video (size, ratio, frame, color settings, video effects), audio (sample rate frequency, normalizer), subtitles (font, color, position), but you can also attach a logo to the video and set its start and end point, transparency level, position and size.

In addition, you can merge videos, use a screencap tool or create a snapshot preview (by using the right-click menu), but you can also extract audio from a video file (by setting the output type to MP3 or AAC in Output Settings). The encoding process does not take very long - it depends on the source file size and output format. For example, GOM Video Converter managed to encode a 107MB FLV file to a 172MB AVI file in one minute and thirty-eight seconds (by using the default settings).

While the software is converting a file, you can view elapsed and remaining time, conversion speed, set GOM Video Converter to move or copy the output file to a specified directory, shutdown PC, minimize to tray, show an error message if conversion fails, show a message when all conversions are complete, and more.

The bottom line is that GOM Video Converter is a great tool for encoding, merging video files, and extracting audio from them. The features could have been more organized for faster and better understanding of its usage.

What's New in Version 1.1.1.69:

ASS/SSA subtitles support:
- Added support for internal ASS/SSA subtitles in .mkv files

Optimization of all current presets and new presets added:
- Current Sony, Apple, Android presets fixed and the integration of duplicate and similar presets.
- Added GALAXY Note3 High Quality/AVC, GALAXY S High Quality/AVC, GALAXY Note Series/ AVC, Google Nexus 5, Google Nexus One High Quality/AVC, Xperia X 10 Normal, Xperia X 10/HTC Magic/AVC(CBR), iPad (After G3) [Full HD(1080p)], iPad mini/iPad Air [AVC], iPhone6/iPhone 6 Plus, WALKMAN All series [Normal], WALKMAN All series [High], WALKMAN S/A [High] presets.

Converted files focus feature:
- When a conversion is done, select “Destination” to open the folder with Windows Explorer, you’ll see the file(s) you just converted is (are) highlighted.

Improvement of conversion performance:
- Built-in source filter and codec performance improved. Please refer to below improvements:
- Fixed the “when converting some of the VOB files in version 1.1.0.63 and version 1.1.0.67 of GOM Video Converter, it finishes converting right after it starts” problem.
- Fixed the problem of converting files with AMR audio in version 1.1.0.63 and version 1.1.0.67 of GOM Video Converter.
- Fixed the problem of inputting files only with FLAC audio in version 1.1.0.67 of GOM Video Converter.

Added Source Filter Control:
Added Source Filter Control in the configurations: using external filters (codecs) instead of GOM’s built-in filters for conversion. If you uncheck the box next to the extensions, those extensions files will not use GOM’s internal filters, but will use the external filters installed in your PC to convert files.

The following issues have been solved:
- Some .mts files’ PCM codec (audio) showing “Unknown”
- Nellymoser codec (audio) showing “Unknown”
- FLAC audio files’ codecs showing “Unknown”
- Speex codec (audio) showing “Unknown”
- Dxtory codec (video) showing “Unknown”
- Some files’ frame rates cannot be detected correctly, thus if converting files without changing their frame rates, the outputs sometimes end with low bit rates.

Improvement of installation program:
- Fixed the “Even meets the minimum spec but due to the system environment, installation cannot be carried out correctly” issue.

Added more disable filters:
- Conversion issue that are frequent reported such as “DivX H.264 Decoder”, “TOSHIBA Audio Decoder DVD”, “Monogram AAC Decoder”, “Roxio MPEG2 Demuxer” filters are disabled as default.
