Speed enhancements
BitVice 1.8 uses a technique known as load balancing on a multi-core computer. Test show's that one may running as many as 10 BitVice Droplets in parallel without a significant time loss on a 8-core machine. (Depending on memory configurations, hard-disks etc.)
Minor GUI changes
In the preferences window, we added a checkbox "Quit droplet application after last encode" - meaning that the droplet will die after last batch file being successfully encoded.
Once you have created a droplet in the folder where you want the resulting MPEG-2 files, you can drag and drop up to 200 QuickTime movies onto it.

Iron Maiden Chose BitVice
IRON MAIDEN CHOSE INNOBITS AND BITVICE FOR LIVE DVD
The British band Iron Maiden chose Swedish Innobits and their BitVice MPEG-2 encoder, for their live DVD "Death on the Road". With this operation Iron Maiden secured the highest possible image quality with available technology for their DVD. The result scored a complete success and the band expressed their desire to deepen its cooperation with Innobits for future video projects. The work is done and the band plans to release the DVD worldwide in Q1 of 2007.
Encoding of a movie, i.e., the reduction of its data size, is necessary for it to fit on a DVD disc. Iron Maiden did comparison tests with the industries leading encoders, including very expensive hardware encoders, but in the end chose BitVice as the tool for doing the encoding job. Innobits AB, contributed to the project with its BitVice product, technical advice and special software development.
Mr Steve Harris, band-leader, bassist and video editor of Iron Maiden says:
"We had tested almost every encoder on the market and found out that none came up to our standard for our live concert, when it comes to maintained image quality. Then we got Innobits encoder BitVice in our hands and were amazed at the result. All blue is blue, all red is red and the image is sharp as a razor and it dealt brilliantly with the smoke, speed and lighting of our show. When Innobits offered to help us with the encoding work, naturally we accepted at once".
"Normally, when shooting live concerts, the lighting is adapted to facilitate better control of the video. Mr Harris, though, is very uncompromising with the appearance of Iron Maiden shows and accepts no changes in the lighting, This, in combination with his action filled video editing style, resulted in a video which was extremely difficult to compress to DVD format, using MPEG-2 equipment and methods prevalent in the business. That is why the band found our competence and experience invaluable for this project", says Roger Andersson, President of Innobits AB.
Innobits have more than ten years of experience and a unique competence in the video encoding area. They have their names on several patents and also actively participated in standardization committees in this area. This competence, in combination with current innovations by Kent Olsson at Innobits, during the project, resulted in a DVD production, intended for all markets worldwide, with the highest possible image quality.
"We feel very honoured that Iron Maiden, with their high quality demands, chose us for encoding their new DVD", says Roger Andersson. "The cooperation with Iron Maiden fits well into developing our new service; to help actors in the movie and music industry to produce DVDs with highest possible image quality. This challenging project incited us to design even better versions of the software, like BitVice 1.7 and beyond, I am sure our customers will appreciate this."
