'''MediaCoder''' is a [[Proprietary software|proprietary]] [[transcoding]] program for [[Microsoft Windows]]. It has been developed by Stanley Huang since 2005.
MediaCoder uses various [[open-source software|open-source]] (and several proprietary) audio and video [[codec]]s to transcode media files to different audio/video formats. Common uses for the program include [[Data compression|compression]], file type conversion, remuxing and extraction of audio from video files. Many formats are supported, including [[MP3]], [[Vorbis]], [[
While MediaCoder is supplied free of charge and fully functional as long as there is an internet connection available, it is supported by bundling the [[OpenCandy]] software recommendation service in its installer. During a batch conversions once a certain number of conversions have been performed a window appears requiring human interaction (a simple [[CAPTCHA]]) to dismiss or pay a donation in order to remove the periodic nagging. ($15 minimum in 2011, $20 in 2012, $25 as of August 2013) This qualifies this application as [[nagware]]. After donating the user is supplied with an ID which must be entered and verified in the software. If the software is subsequently used without being connected to the internet the nags will reappear because the software randomly checks online whether the user has a valid ID unless a USB license dongle is purchased.
