Give us the option to choose ROHQ hardware acceleration method (e.g., QuickSync)
JimH:
I would be happy to hear any specific suggestions you have, but to dismiss the user interface and its design is slightly arrogant, in my opinion.
We have not used any devoted UX person, except in a couple of cases where we did large contract jobs for Best Buy, MTV, and others. I did not see an improvement from doing so.
The UI has evolved over the years, and represents both the development team's ideas and those of our customers. It greatly benefits from the continuous feedback we receive here. When we do something stupid, our customers let us know immediately and we change it.
JRiver Media Center is one of a handful of leading digital media solutions. It's been in continuous development for almost two decades. Its sales support a team of more than 10 people, and it has outlasted many deep pocket competitors.
So if you think you can do a better job, start a thread and make specific proposals. If they are good, we may make some changes. If nothing else, you will get a chance to demonstrate your superior abilities.

It always amazes me how patient and restrained Jim is in his replies to some of the posts on this forum. There are multitudes of posts whinging that the UI is not as good as program X,Y,Z and you must change it so that it suits me. Yet another one, which is not actually talking about the UI at all, but some arcane hardware customisation buried deep in the bowels of the program, isn't likely to go down well.
Incidentally, all those professional UI programmers seem to be pretty bad at their job; most UIs are indifferent to down right bad. And they keep changing them, usually to make them worse.
JimH:
Thanks, Bill.

Please quote the post where I dismissed the user interface design. I noticed ONE inconsistency, and pointed it out. I won't make that mistake again.
I have absolutely no interest in doing an analysis of the MC UI, and certainly not for free.
JimH:
No surprise.
I'd say this fits the "dismissive" description:
