BATCHENC

Batchenc is a free and very flexible Windows front-end for all console encoders and decoders. It's not for newbies because the user has to know the command line syntax of the back-end programs. But a configuration file with a lot of examples is included to make it a bit easier.

Download Batchenc v1.5.1 (it's only 29 kb and freeware)

Visual Style is HmmXP

If you're in Windows 95/98 and get an error when you try to run the front-end, you probably need to install the Visual Basic 6 Runtime files.

What's new in v1.5.1:

• The order of adding the application directory to the Path when using <allfiles> has changed (first the app.dir. and then the rest of the Path).

What's new in v1.5:

• Batchenc can now also be used with replaygain programs like mp3gain, wavegain, replaygain (for Musepack), vorbisgain and aacgain. More info in the readme file under "Hints".
• Longer Presets dropdown list (shows max. 15 instead of max. 8 items).
• Simple spelling check for the keywords: <infile>, <allfiles> and <outfile.xxx>.

What's new in v1.4:

• It's now possible to run several batch processes simultaneous. In previous versions the go.bat file would get overwritten. But now the batchfiles are numbered (up to 20 and then it starts at 1 again). And they are in their own subdirectory.
• New icon.

What's new in v1.3:

• Removed the Edit button.
• Made the command line presets sort alphabetically.
• Added an 'Always on top' button.

What's new in v1.2:

• Support for XP Visual Styles.
• Tahoma font if OS is Win2000 or newer.
• Replaced the listview with a listbox (because the listview didn't behave well with XP Visual Styles).

What's new in v1.1:

• Add Files dialog remembers last directory. And if that doesn't exist anymore it tries one, two or three directories higher. Same goes for Browse output directory.
• An Edit button. If you hit it, the presets file will be opened in your favourite text editor.
