Release Notes:
This release is a major one containing the changes we hoped to include originally in version 4.00. Things took a bit longer than we expected so instead of waiting until it was ready, we released 4.00 with less changes along side the new iPods.

The conversion core and the video properties reader have both been updated. We fixed a nasty bug in the Normal Mode causing certain sliders not to work as expected. We have improved multi-converter support. We have added and removed a few options from the Settings and Profile config files. We also are now saving and storing the config files in the Application Data folder which will solve a few issues on Vista for users not using an admin account.

We have tweaked the default options of Normal Mode and also the video bitrates used. This will allow you to create higher quality videos for those of you not using an iPod 5G. Video quality enhancements are now on by default. This really shouldn't be an option since if you are using H.264 you should always have this on. We may make this mandatory in the future.

We have also changed the names of a few profiles in Power Mode.

Old Profiles -> 4.02+ Profiles
H.264 VGA 768kbps Stereo/128kbps Advanced -> H.264 QVGA 768kbps Stereo/128kbps
H.264 QVGA 768kbps Stereo/128kbps -> H.264 QVGA 768kbps Stereo/128kbps (Fast but BAD)

As you can see, we have made the old advanced profile now the default one. This is because these profiles now have all the proper flags required by x264 to create good H.264 videos. This will result in longer conversion times which is the cost of having good compression. If you don't want to wait, switch to MP4 SP instead and play around with the bitrate.

We have left in the old original profile but have now named it more properly as "Fast but BAD". While this profile will put your video into the H.264 format, it won't use all the compression features found in H.264 thereby defeating the whole purpose of using H.264. These old profiles are BAD.

If you have an iPod 5G, make sure you SELECT IPOD 5G at the first run screen. If you select any other iPod, the video the software will create won't work. The video specs of the iPod 5G are a bit lower than all the newer iPods so it can't play some videos meant for the iPod touch or iPhone.

Upgrade Notes:
Upgrading from 4.01, 4.00 or older - Due to the level of changes made, there is no easy way to upgrade and keep your old settings and profiles. We recommend that you completely uninstall any old version you have and start fresh with 4.02.

I'm running Vista Business 32bit SP1. Been a user since version 3 - and updating from 4.0 - 4.02 has killed the app on this system.
I've tried using Registry cleaners etc - but yet to no avail.
I'm still trying to figure it out, but anyone else out there that might have got round this - please join-up and post back.
Thanks.

OK - here goes;

Even though you ran un-installer or deleted Red Kawa folder from Program Files - there is still another Red Kawa folder.

I am running Vista, so cannot confirm if this is the same for XP.

Vista users;

C:\Users\(xxxxx)\AppData\Roaming\ delete the Red Kawa folder from in here.

Re-Run the 4.02 installer and the problem should be resolved...(?!)

Hopefully this will help others out there.

Post back with any other tips on this.

Hi I am having the same problem too, I have found an older version of the program and I am going to try installing that - I'll let you know how it goes. Initially I tried to delete the files manually but the would not delete, however I restarted my system and then was able to delete them.(I'm using vista) however, re-installing did not help and I got the same error.
I am also going to work my way through these instructions:

ok I have tried the above but I'm still getting an error! It's so frustrating - if anyone knows of a bug fix please advise, I am not sure what to do next - tried re-installing, deleting, deleting the roaming files, have updated .net framework and still get this error. it seems that the setup does not complete fully so that you can enter your ipod details :confused:
