FF Multi Converter 1.4 has just been released, bringing interesting changes, various improvements and optimizations, as well as minor user interface refinements.
The Audio panel has been combined with the Video panel, resulting a singular Audio/Video view, where conversion is to happen, on-demand taking advantage of the new editable Preset (containing presets, such as BlackberryCurvefs, GigabeatFS, N810FS, MPEG4VideoVHQ, android4, iPodiTunesiphoneWS, x264HQWS, etc) and/or the command exposed in the Command area.
The new 1.4 version introduces "real-time" conversion display (visible by clicking the Details button in the conversion dialog), as well as a more accurate progress in the conversion's progressbar, thus the user is to correctly observe the conversion process.
