Hi Marius,

yes I do still use WinXP on my main desktop computer, but I have a Thinkpad notebook running Win7 64-bit also. For converting clips to AVC I can only use the notebook because the ancient Coppermine CPU on the desktop needs almost 24 hours to convert a 90 min video...

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.

Quick Sync, like other hardware accelerated video encoding technologies, gives lower quality results than with CPU only encoders. Speed is prioritized over quality.
There are also FFmpeg builds by rogerdpack available which do work under WinXP.
