I have send the devs 2 mails - which are not replied to.
My rating of 2 stars is still valid for the latest release.

Here is a step-by-step for some problems:
- Use any mkv file as source with at least 30minutes playtime. Convert to any preset. It will only convert the first two minutes but when playing back the end of the two minutes it is out of sync everytime.
- Use any prores source file and convert it to any preset: it will have YUV errors in most media players.
- It also locks randomly. I tried other ffmpeg versions but same happens.
My conclusion: it is buggy - period.

I've actually been in contact with the developer, and he claims that he has not received any emails from you. Because of that fact, it seemed like it might be possible that you had some other objective for bringing down this listing's star rating, hence the fact that I removed your previous comment. My apologies if I acted prematurely.
I'm not trying to accuse you of anything: This is probably just a misunderstanding. What email address have you been sending those support requests to? I'm sure we can figure out what is going on here and get the developer to address your concerns.

If I should give it a percentage how many good/watchable/playable movies it creates I am forced to tell you it is less then 25%
Sometimes it just seems to hang and this action mostly results in a blank file. Other times the image quality is average. It struggles with source files with multi channel audio streams.
Two times the end result had a wrong YUV format. It keeps spitting out non-smooth playing end results. They mostly/always stutter at some point. I hate that. A movies is intended to playback smoothly without any stuttering. Even if it only occurs every now and then.
The developer tries to make it a good converter but it simply only copes with simple source material. Ones some more advanced features as multi audio channels, subs and non standard YUVs are kicking in it doesn't deliver.
'bout merging of files -- The encoded final result has timestamp problems in most tries.
Seeing the application uses the libavcodec aka ffmpeg, the developer needs to dig into -- how to use ffmpeg correctly -- asap!
I just cannot recommend this app at this stage. Back to handbrake for me. Always creates usable movies without any hassle at all. And handbrake is free too. Figures.

It claims Prores support, but this latest version with latest engine does not converted any Prores files I tried. Some converted the first seconds and stopped promptly.
In the end a worthless converter. Handbrake is way better, free and always produces perfect quality.

Well, one mkv file did convert but could not be played on my LG. With VLC it played but playback wasn't smooth. Most probably it seems to struggle with timestamps.
It works for mp4 files but it has similar issues with not playing smooth with VLC. Again timestamps are the problem and jerky framerates.
mkv is basically a standard container and for me a must have.
No good mkv support = no money

Some other things I really dislike:
Get rid of the hud options screen. It is a mess and not very readable. hud screens was a hype when it was released but a good dev doesnt used it.
Get rid of the ugly progressbar-pie-shart. A small default progressbar would do the job much better
Get rid of the 3 minutes limit for us to try.
Sorry, not good

@Maximas (below) - While there is always the possibility of a problem honestly I have not had these kinds of issues reported to me and I would not expect you to have this trouble. My apologies and please do email me about this because unfortunately I can't fix something that can't be reproduced based on a comment here alone. Thanks!

About audio sync issues. Enabling the 'Fix audio sync' didn't help either.
If you are in need in a simple converter - then give Evom a try - it is free.
Handbrake and Iffmpeg are the best when you need some sort of control of what you try to achieve.

I tried several movies to convert - some resulted in 0kb files?!? The ones that got converted did not play smoothly with QT (skipping frames et all). Two converted files had audio sync issues and showed block artifacts?!?
Sorry to say - in its present form it does not work as advertised.

Figures why it didn't play.
