Still I'd like to know why you are dropping XP support? Is it only because FFmpeg does not work under XP any more?

You probably know that the only reason why Zeranoe dropped XP support is to be able to use the Intel QSV encoder. And just about anyone who cares for the quality of the encoded result will refuse to use the Intel QSV encoder.
Quote from Wikipedia:


There are also FFmpeg builds by rogerdpack available which do work under WinXP.

Hi, you are right, mainly this is the reason. The ffmpeg that i bundle with the app does not work on XP anymore. You can still use a different ffmpeg with the app.

Do you want to test this now version until i publish it and share some thoughts...bugs,etc. I didn't have much time to invest into it so do not expect a lot of new things, just a little polish there and there.
P.S. A hidden option: the app creates an ini file located in your user profile c:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\dmMediaConverter\Config\dmMediaConverter.ini where you could modify this line
AACEncoder=aac and put something else like libfdk_aac...
