First of all, it means that I have the message and the title interchanged in that error dialog box

Secondly, it means that Qt failed to load its Image I/O plug-in's for some reason

Actually I was able to reproduce this error on my Windows 10 Preview VM, while it works perfectly fine for me on my Windows XP VM as well as on my Windows 8.1 VM and on my "main" Windows 7 machine

Either this is some regression in the Preview of Windows 10 that they will fix (hopefully) before the RTM. Or they intentionally changed the DLL loading behavior in a way that breaks Qt's plug-ins

Image I/O plug-ins need to be in the "imageformats" sub-folder for Qt to recognize them:

If you are an Avira user, you may wish to send a report to the Avira support, so they can fix the bug in their software. Otherwise, just ignore

Please note that this is a pre-release beta build and neither the "call for translators" notification nor the "debug console" window is present in regular release builds.

Also note that the notice about the missing AAC encoder will appear only if you haven't installed the Nero AAC encoder yet. Once the Nero AAC binary has been put into the correct place, you'll never see the notice again.

Reviewers even explicitly praise the notification, because "the task is not too difficult to carry out as everything is provided for the job: link to the download file, folder location and step by step instructions".

(Of course I'd prefer to have AAC encoder built-in too, but Nero AAC cannot be redistributed for legal reasons. QAAC isn't a practicable alternative here either, because it depends on the proprietary Apple/QuickTime DLL's)

Many users prefer if the application will not talk to external servers "behind the user's back". Obviously, you can't do it right for everybody.

(If with "smplayer" you are referring to my "MPlayer for Windows" package, then the included auto-updater does not check for updates on every reboot. It only does so once every 30 days)

It means that the optional QAAC add-in is not currently present. If you want to use QAAC (instead of Nero AAC), you may download the required add-in from here.
