MP4tools 3.3.5 - Create and edit .MP4 video files. (Demo)

MP4tools 3.3.5 - Create and edit .MP4 video files. (Demo): "

MP4tools is an offshoot of the current version of the popular conversion tools called MKVtools. It is a Mac OS X application used for the creation and editing of MP4 videos. It was primarily designed for processing videos files for use in hardware capable of playing MP4 or M4V videos, such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and PS3. As the name might imply, MP4tools is a graphical interface for a variety of 'tools' useful for processing video files.

Features:

• Convert from a variety of video file formats like MKV, MP4, OGM and AVI into MP4 videos.
• Can convert most videos without having to re-encode the video track and/or the audio track, so processing takes minutes instead of hours and no quality is lost.
• Simplified, intuitive user interface that takes the guess work out of processing MP4 videos.
• Ability to convert various surround sound audio to 5.1 AC3 or 5.1 AAC.
• Intuitively select desired video, audio and/or subtitle tracks to process, with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.
• Use presets for one step encoding for playback on common hardware such as the iPhone and Apple TV.
• Burn (i.e., hard code) subtitle tracks into the video, or mux (soft subtitles) from internal tracks or from external subtitle files commonly found on the internet.
• Control the font, size and positioning of the embedded subtitles.
• Split MP4 videos into segments of a specified file size or by start/end time.
• Adjust the Pixel Aspect Ratio of MP4 videos.
• Join MP4 videos.
• Extract the selected tracks from MP4 videos as individual video and/or audio files.
• Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches via drag and drop so you can process multiple files overnight (registered copies only).
• Apply one setting to a group of files for easy batch creations (registered copies only).

Version 3.3.5:

• Made more (and hopefully final needed) changes to AVC Profile Level editing which was still causing some iDevice playback issues (freezes, stuttering, ...).
• Added a preference option that will stop MP4tools from editing metadata at the end of processing.
• Fixed bug that would cause strange behavior if a watch mode job was cancelled.

Bitcoin 0.8.5 - Experimental digital currency. (Free)

Bitcoin 0.8.5 - Experimental digital currency. (Free): "

Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

The software is a community-driven Open Source project, released under the MIT license.

Version 0.8.5:

• Transactions with version numbers larger than 0x7fffffff were incorrectly being relayed and included in blocks.
• Blocks containing transactions with version numbers larger than 0x7fffffff caused the code that checks for LevelDB database inconsistencies at startup to erroneously report database corruption and suggest that you reindex your database.
• This release also contains a non-critical fix to the code that enforces BIP 34 (block height in the coinbase transaction).
