(Editor's Note: QuickPeek's getting huge! And no wonder, we're nearing QuickPeek's first anniversary!)

Lots of news and updates this week, gamers! Think last week's QuickPeek was long? Hold on to your hats! We have the skinny on everything from the upcoming episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV, the huge Apple event where they revealed the 3G iPhone, and of course, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots!

Encode360 is a video encoder and compression utility that allows you to convert video's to Xbox360 and Zune compatible WMV format. This application has recently had an overhaul and as a result now uses a new video engine. In the past, the widely used FFMPEG encoder engine was used which has now been swapped out with MediaInfo.

Dan, the author, was kind enough to give us some of their his change in video encoding engines. "FFMpeg really was just a stop-gap until something better turned up, and I’m glad to say MediaInfo is doing an impressive job on discovering the details of nearly every file format I throw at it. However, there’s no telling what new problems might be introduced as a result. I haven’t had any, but someone else might. I’ll tackle issues as they arise. Just remember, this is a beta."

Fixes

• Arithmetic error in timerPercentComplete_Tick would occur if WME couldn’t determine the source duration
• Default settings for 802.11b in an unconfigured environment were too high
• Numerous cosmetic and logging bugs
