Default [solved] 99% stuck - status of second download link - viDrop - very good

The second link to viDrop is much more helpful, and it does do batch processing.
Nowhere in its output specifications does it say AMV.
The resulting conversions play both on the MP4 player and on the computer.
The prior conversions did not play before the viDrop software was installed.
The new conversions are more compressed (140Mb vs 93Mb for the same 30-minute video).

Since I think the frame rate and resolution is the same, this might be an improvement, or its a different "quality" setting that I missed.

The batch processing lists the same "mencode" utility name that was part of AVIConverter so most likely this is both an improved converter that does not hang at 99% done, and a very useful tool.

Thank you very much for the pointer to the viDrop download.
