AMVtool 1.2

Version 1.2.0.4 Changes:

• Added the option to downmix multi-channel audio to stereo.
• Updated how HDR is detected to be more accurate and blocked Dolby Vision Profile 5 videos.

Version 1.2.0.3 Changes:

• Fixed issue where some external audio details were not imported causing application crash under certain conditions.

Version 1.2.0.2 Changes:

• Updated width resize list to include 1280.

Version 1.2.0.1 Changes:

• Fixed issue where the application would crash when attempting to select another audio source.
• Updated minimum OS version for macOS to 10.15.
• Updated Qt to 6.4.3 for both macOS & Windows.

Changes from 1.1:

• Added the ability to enable streaming (fast start) for MOV & MP4.
• Added ability to convert HDR to SDR.
• Added ability to convert Variable Frame Rate to Constant Frame Rate.
• Added ability to disable B frames for x264 & x265.
• Added ability to inverse telecine & deinterlace.
• Added ability to change aspect ratio.
• Added ability to change video resolutions.
• Added ability to output only center channel when converting audio.
• Added HDR tag in the main queue.
• Added Interlaced tag in the main queue.
• Added "Recontainering" as a status instead of just "Encoding".
• Added support for VP9 & Opus codecs.
• Added WebM as a container option.
• Adjusted size of aspect ratio and resize drop down boxes for Windows.
• Fixed issue where MTS files would lose the last character from the filename for the output.
• Fixed issue where configuring an errored line in the queue would not reset it to pending.
• Fixed issue where the AC-3 track stored with the TrueHD track in M2TS files weren't accounted for.
• Fixed syntax for bitrate/quality of audio when converting multiple tracks.
• Fixed conditions where UT Video could potentially not output a file.
• Fixed issue where "Use Another Source" could cause the software to hang.
• Updated configuration menu layout.
• Updated FFmpeg executable to version 6.1.
• Updated Qt to 6.4.0 for both macOS & Windows.

Known Issues & Limitations:

• Some VFR content, such as DVDs with VFR, do not output correctly, use AviSynth/VapourSynth for now.
• The first pass for VP9 encodes will not show estimated time remaining (FFmpeg Bug).
• Unable to determine bit depth of VP9 video (limitation of MediaInfo).
• Unable to convert Dolby Vision 5 videos to SDR (FFmpeg limitation).
• Unable to pass through HDR from AviSynth & VapourSynth.

Notes:
Apple users with ARM hardware can still utilize the Intel version through Rosetta. The plan is eventually get a native compile for ARM systems, however I currently lack the hardware to compile & test on and every attempt to cross compile on an Intel Mac is resulting in an app that will not run.

Linux users will need to have FFMPEG 4.0 or greater (5.0+ recommended), check your version by opening terminal and typing "ffmpeg -version". Encoding to 10 or 12-bit will only be enabled if the copy of FFmpeg was compiled with it enabled for x264 & x265.

Linux users will need to have Qt 5.6 or greater, check your version by opening terminal and typing "qmake -v".

There is not an ARM version for macOS, the plan is to eventually add support as code is updated for Qt 6.2 and when I get hardware to compile on.

Windows version requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package to be installed. It can be found on Microsoft's site or http://vcredistx64.l33tmeatwad.com/
