New ZProcess Released: 1.0.987

[zehd]

Although the changes are minor, there's a couple of new features I've added, so I decided to start a new release thread...


Added backup for individual profiles

Basically when you are in a Transcode profile you want to backup, click 'more', you will see the 'Save Settings' button. Clicking this will create a 'reg.txt' file in your ZProcess folder, appropriately labled. If you wish to restore the settings, just rename the file to remove the appended '.txt' extension, so that it only ends with '.reg' and double-click the file to 'merge' the settings...

Added support for different MVPs profiles.

This may not be exactly intuitive, but here are the steps for creating a transcode profile for a specific MVP (That way you can have several MVPs and have them all using different settings - on the fly)

1. You should start with a working Trans2MVP profile (you can tweak later). This is the default profile that any 'unknown' MVP will use.
   
   
2. Be sure ZProcess is closed. On your MVP, start and then stop an AVI video... (On your server, ZProcess will have started and stopped a transcode, and also saved the MVP Mac address of your MVP)
   
   
3. Next, open ZProcess manually on the server. Click on the Transcode tab and more. Be sure that you've chosen the Trans2MVP profile.
   
   
4. At the bottom, in the more section, you will see the button 'Get Last MVP'. When you click that, youwill be asked if you want to copy the MVP Mac address of the last MVP that ZProcess worked for, into the Transcode Profile Combo Box. Click Yes...
   
   
5. Now, you can see your MVPs Specific Name. You can change your settings that you want to be specific to this MVP (including Aspect Ratio, or Preferred Transcoder.
   
   
6. Save your profile.
   

How it works...

When you start the MVP, and choose an AVI, on the server, ZProcess starts up and determines it's an MVP on-the-fly transcode. It gets the current MVP MAC address. It compares it to a list of saved profiles, and uses the matched Transcode profile. It then begins the transcode specific for that MVP.

If there is not a match, an 'unknown' MVP for example, ZProcess uses the Trans2MVP profile by default...

I do not have two MVPs. I believe that this should work for as many MVPs as you have. I wanna know your successes.

Also, having two or more transcodes at the same time has always been dependant on the beef of your server. In theory it should be possible. ZProcess should not stand in the way of you trying that out. I would love to hear your successes in this too...

Good luck...
