Click to expand.IMO, iFlicks is doing a poor job promoting version 2. I wasn't quite sure what the benefits were until I paid to upgrade recently (which I did it mostly to support the developer). Beyond more modern interface, version 2 adds few significant features that would appeal to more advanced users. To me, the most significant is chapter markers. It can import downloaded chapter marker files from ChapterDb.org. It would've been nicer if the process is more fully automated, however. Subtitles isn't fully automated yet either, but I can now add individual subtitle files and specify language.
You can also choose to burn the subtitle on video. I can also do the same for audio tracks.
There's also watch folder. Drop a video file to this folder and it will automatically add to the queue. Meta tags is also a lot more comprehensive. And you have some control over H.264 encoding profiles. Seems like the people on this thread may have some advice I could use.
I just started a trial of IFlicks 2 and I can't tell if it is working correctly. MKV files are taking 2-3 hours to convert. Is this typical? I was under the impression the program would remux the file verses convert. The program looks great but at these speeds, I would have to go back to subler. If there is any suggestions you may have, I would greatly appreciate it. I am running version 2.3 (3072) Installed Perian 1.2.3 MacBook Pro late 2009 8gb ram Preset HD 1080 Destination is an external hard drive.
So to update or correct my previous post. I only assumed the conversion was taking 2-3 hours. I set a file to convert last night and the timer indicated 3 hours. When I went back this morning the file still hadn't completed and was only,half way done after roughly 7 hours. Something is clearly wrong. I assume it's due to something with the trial I used.
I will uninstall then try again. What is a reasonable amount of time I should expect for a MKV file around 2 gb in size? I know my system will dictate that but I have an average setup so a 'round about' estimate is fine. So to update or correct my previous post.

Click to expand.First, I assume you have iFlicks set to the 'itunes compatible' preset. MKV is the file container, but it doesn't tell us anything about how that file is encoded.
ITunes likes files encoded in h264, with the M4V container. Changing containers is very fast. Changing encoding is very slow. So if your MKV is encoded with h264, then indeed iFlicks can just remux the file into the M4V container, which should take relatively little time - takes my computer about 30 seconds per TV episode or a minute per movie. (I also have optimize for streaming enabled, which adds a tiny bit of time to the process, would probably be even faster without that).
However, a lot of new releases and new shows out there in the unmentionable pirate sites are now using h265 encoding. In this case, iFlicks has to totally re-encode the file. This means it has to decode the entire file, and then encode it in h264, which takes a considerable amount of time - takes my computer about 10 minutes per TV episode or 30 minutes per movie. I hope Apple updates iTunes to support h265 soon. Afterall, the iOS devices support h265 now - it is the encoding used for facetime.
