v1.0.5 - AJA DDR Compatibility v2

AJA DDR Compatibility v2

Major overhaul of the encoding pipeline to produce files that match AJA DDR hardware expectations.

Encoder

• Primary: prores_videotoolbox (Apple's native hardware encoder) — produces genuine Apple ProRes atoms with vendor_id=appl
• • Fallback: prores_ks (software encoder) for non-macOS build environments

Post-Encode Atom Patching

New tree-based MOV atom patcher (movPatcher.ts) that modifies the QuickTime container after encoding:

• Handler names: AJA Video Media Handler, AJA Sound Media Handler, AJA Time Code Handler
• • ftyp minor_version: Set to 537199360 (Apple/AJA standard, was FFmpeg's default 512)

Other Changes

• Added -field_order tt (top-bottom) to match AJA convention
• • Stream order now matches AJA gold standard: audio, audio, video, tmcd
• • Progress bar reserves 5% for atom patching phase (encoding caps at 95%)
• • Atom patching failure is non-fatal — file remains valid ProRes

Testing

• 19 tests passing across 3 test files
• • New movPatcher.test.ts with synthetic MOV generation for atom patching verification

v1.0.4

feat: AJA DDR-compatible output (dual mono audio, timecode, movflags)

- Split stereo audio into two discrete mono PCM tracks (L/R via pan filters)
- Added embedded timecode track (-timecode 00:00:00;00) for tmcd support
- Added -movflags +faststart for better container compatibility
- Added audioChannels to ProbeResult for smart stereo/mono handling
- Updated UI footer and AUDIO spec card to reflect new output format
- Bumped version to 1.0.4
- Added audioChannels probe test (12 tests pass)

v1.0.3

fix: traffic light overlap, bump version to 1.0.3, comprehensive README

- Added pl-20 left padding to header to clear macOS traffic light buttons
- Added -webkit-app-region: drag/no-drag for proper window dragging
- Bumped package.json version from 1.0.0 to 1.0.3
- Rewrote README with architecture diagram, CI/CD docs, version history

v1.0.2 - Fix FFmpeg dynamic library loading error

Bug Fix

Fixed: "Library not loaded: libavdevice.62.dylib" error

The previous build used Homebrew-installed FFmpeg binaries, which are dynamically linked and depend on shared libraries (libavdevice, libavcodec, etc.) that exist only on the build machine. When the app was run on a different Mac, these libraries were missing, causing the crash.

Changes:

• Replaced Homebrew FFmpeg with truly static binaries from descriptinc/ffmpeg-ffprobe-static (FFmpeg 6.1.2)
• • Separate architecture builds — now produces individual DMGs for Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64) instead of a universal binary
• • Removed arch: ["universal"] from electron-builder config, letting the CLI --arm64/--x64 flags control the target architecture

Download:

• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4): ProRes-Converter-*-arm64.dmg
• • Intel Macs: ProRes-Converter-*-x64.dmg

ProRes Converter v1.0.1

Bug Fix Release

Fixes the "spawn node ENOENT" error that prevented the Electron app from launching.

Changes

• Server now runs inside Electron's own Node.js runtime (no external node binary required)
• • Self-contained server bundle with all dependencies inlined
• • FFmpeg binaries properly bundled for macOS

Downloads

After the build completes (~10 min), .dmg files will be attached below:

• arm64.dmg — Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
• • x64.dmg — Intel Mac
• • universal.dmg — Works on both

Output Specs

• Format: QuickTime (.mov)
• • Video: Apple ProRes 422, 1920x1080, 29.97fps
• • Audio: Uncompressed PCM, 48kHz, 24-bit
• • Non-16:9 sources are letterboxed/pillarboxed automatically
