You can download it for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

This is maintenance release that includes various bug fixes. It also resolves issues with offline conversion video quality being too low and the conversion leaving temporary files around. Beta 7 contains updated FFmpeg build.

Note that OS X Support requires a 64bit CPU. The due to user demand the next version will work on 32bit Intel CPUs again.

Hi, can you please fix so the letters ÆØÅ is displayed correct in the subtitles when playing on the iPad. Now it just shows as ? marks. Worked on the beta 6

Hi,

do you have the proper encoding set in Air Video Server properties - Subtitles tab?

Why is this still happening with 2.4.5.b7 ?
(see attachments)

Have you tried to reinstall your Java Runtime Environment installation?

Also problems with offline conversion here.

With beta6 converted videos, the converted videos stream fine.

I stream them remotely (WiFi) to my iPhone and send it from there via Airplay to the Apple TV 2.

With beta 7 converted videos, they hardly stream to the iPhone (frequent buffering), but they never stream to the Apple TV. Means I can see Apple TV start buffering, and buffering... for a couple of minutes, and then crash. Happens every time, with different movies.

So I went back to beta 6, convert again with beta 6 and all is good again.

I understand that there have been quality improvements made in beta7 for offline conversion. However, the resulting converted file is about 4 times as big as with beta6, so therefore also the bitrate must be dramatically higher. While this explains somehow the problem with stuttering/buffering when remote streaming to the iPhone, it does not explain the endless buffering on the Apple TV.

Maybe somebody could advise how conversion settings have to be adjusted in beta7 so that it behaves like beta6 (I have set quality conversion settings all to the max.and bitrate to 2048kbit/s for remote Wifi).

Cheers

Hi,

what quality settings are you using? Have you tried reducing it?

In beta6, I use max resolution (1280x720), Quality 100% and this works fine.

I used the same setting in beta7, and the resulting file is about 4 times as big.

The source is a Blue ray rip.

Hence my question, what is the equivalent quality setting in beta7 to get the beta6 maximum quality setting result for the offline conversion?
The resolution must stay 720p (as mentioned, I stream to an Apple TV). So it remains the quality setting. Is 100% in beta6 50% in beta7? Any hint?

Cheers

The quality range has changed. So you need to lower the quality in beta7. It's hard to say what setting exactly would be the same quality, you can try 60%.

Hi all,
Since I installed Java 7 update 2, I get this error "The Java VM is aborting...". Previously it worked well. Any solution ?

Have you tried reinstalling the Java completely?

Ok, I just tried that and it worked. Thank you. Obviously my previous install didn't work properly.

Hello Still 32bit here!
