Is the last version which works with XP. Grab it before M$
bribes them to take it down.
The builder altered a tiny call to _wfopen_s in msvcrt.dll to
make it incompatible with XP. No apologies, no reasons given, from one
build to the next, no more support.
Oh well, unless they change video conversion radically, this
version still works fine and will last a while. And the Linux build
will always work, of course. Another reason to drop Windows.

Amazing. All it took was hundreds of views to the complaints

More like NT6 influence than Win8 GUI.
