Known Issues:

• Alpha software, includes almost no error control. May crash or fail to generate files in some circumstances.

Release Notes:
Version 1.0.0.0 – Aug 1, 2009

• First version.

Version 1.1.0.0 – Aug 3, 2009

• Renamed to ‘BatchFuze Extractor’
• Application folders and publisher name corrected.

Download:
BatchFuze-Extractor-1_1.zip

Usage:
Follow the standard Metafuze workflow to scan folders and generate a Transcode setting for all input files. Once you have a project setup with source files and transcode settings, then save the Metafuze project.

In BatchFuze, load the Metafuze project file, and select the target directory for XML batch files. Check configuration settings for number of threads and click “Generate”.

BatchFuze will generate one XML batch file for each source file. The XML batch files can then be passed to the Metafuze Console application to perform the transcode.

Coming soon. Software to manage MetaFuze rendering across multiple computers.
