The Main Focus of ZBH:

The main focus of this program is to convert most video types to WMV for use on a Zune.

What ZBH Can Do:

Convert unecrypted DVD's and most video files into the WMV format. Join video files and convert them to WMV.

What's Under Development:

• Output Size: Allow the user to specify the file limitation size Currently set at 700MB
• Encoding Options:Allow the user to specify their output bitrate
• Encode Queue:Add a clear list function to clear the queue
• Encode Queue:Add the ability for a user to move projects in the encode queue up or down
• Added Files Queue:Add the ability for a user to move files use user has selected in the add files window to move the order of the added files
• Config.ini:Add a section to the config.ini to save the information of the last used output location so it will be the default on the next program startup

Possible Additions/Changes:

• Possibly give the user an option to save the final files to a few other formats then WMV
• Allow a user to mix VOB's and video files together

How ZBH Works:

ZBH is program to help people encode files easily and give them necessary options. ZBH is written with Autoit, which has many, many uses. I utilize Mencoder, Besweet, and WM Encoder 9 to do all the video conversion. If a user selects just a video file Mencoder is used. If a user selects a VOB file I use Mencoder for the video and Besweet for the audio. After the files have been encoded to a format WM Encoder can read I call WM Encoder to join the files and encode them to WMV. This also allows somewhat of a two pass encoding process, considering that WM Encoder does not allow two pass encoding on multiple files.
