Tip 3: some mkv files will give you a audio error in this software, it only happen when 2-pass is on but like i said it only happen to some mkv files so if you don't get the audio error then you should not change the VBR constrained in both video & audio settings but for those who has the problem. to fix this go to the Zune HD or Zune HD (AV Dock Playback) profile & go to video & change the VBR constrained to VBR Quailty & put the VBR quailty setting on 100 & for audio do the same but in audio the max is 98 after that it will temp save untill you add the next video, then do the same thing for the same video & etc.

I always rip Movies and TV episodes into single .vob's to feed my encoders so I take it this program will not deal with that, so if I use another step and rip the movies and tv shows into single .mkv files with automkv it will work?

Currently I use either Gomencoder for .wmv's or H264 files, or Handbrake for just H264 and they work well, HB's Ipod Touch profile work's fine with both the touch and the Zune HD.

Unpack/extract (use winrar) and install running the installer inside the x86 folder if you have a 32bit Windows version. or the installer inside the x64 folder if you have Vista 64, etc.

How do you lock the file size in this -- is there any way? I want to create a certain file size.

Any tips in how not to get a green videoscreen? The audio is good, but the video is 100% green the whole time...
