Analyzing Video Information

Downloaded the latest Version of MCE Buddy, the old versions work, the new one just sits on Analyzing Video Information, and just says working. Does not move.

NOTE: Don’t forget to attach your conversion log or MCEBuddy.log file as appropriate

Try today’s 2.4.8 BETA build, we updated another component MediaInfo, in 2.4.8, which should solve this issue. Or you can download the latest version of MediaInfo.dll and replace it in your installation folder (you will need to rename it to MediaInfo32.dll and MediaInfo64.dll, you’ll need both versions).
