1.4.5 Beta

• Removed the old Advanced user interface and moved x264 preset/profile/tune there instead. The functionality is still available through editing the options string.
• Added ability to specify the H.264 level.
• Added ability to choose VidCoder's interface language. If you are interested in translating, we can get VidCoder in your language!
• Updated WPF text rendering to use the better Display mode.
• Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5045.
• Removed logic that forced the .m4v extension in certain cases.
• Increased max width of preset combo box.
• Changed VidCoder to be a single-instance program. Attempting to open it again will show the main window.
• Moved options storage to SQLite rather than the standard .NET user config. This means less chance for config settings to get corrupted.
• When doing batch file encodes, VidCoder now picks the default title to encode rather than just the first one every time (useful for ISOs).
• Fixed RF 0 showing (none) in number box.
• Fixed reported crash on closing.
• Fixed main UI not updating when output folder was picked in options.
• Fixed crash when you have two SRT subtitle tracks and mark one as default.

1.4.4 Beta

• Fixed inability to create new presets with "Save As".

1.4.3 Beta

• Fixed crash on switching container types.
• Updated subtitle selection to only allow one PGS subtitle to be selected under an MP4 container as PGS passthrough in MP4 is not supported and the sub must be burned in.

1.4.2 Beta

• Added Modulus dropdown to Loose anamorphic choice.
• Fixed a problem where the incorrect scaling would be chosen and pick the wrong aspect ratio.
• Fixed issue where old window objects would stick around and continue to respond to property change events
• We now clear locked width/height values when switching to loose or strict anamorphic.
• Fixed problems with Custom Anamorphic and display width specification.
• Fixed text in number box incorrectly being shown in gray in some circumstances.

1.4.1 Beta

• Updated to HandBrake 4971. This should fix some issues with stuck PGS subtitles.
• Fixed build break which prevented pre-compiled XML serializers from showing up.
• Fixed problem where a preset would get errantly marked as modified when re-opening the encode settings window or importing a new preset.

1.4.0 Beta

• First Beta release! Catches up to HandBrake nightlies with SVN 4937.
  • Added PGS (Blu-ray) subtitle support.
  • Additional framerates available: 30, 50, 59.94, 60
  • Additional sample rates available: 8, 11.025, 12 and 16 kHz
  • Additional higher bitrates available for audio.
  • Same as Source Constant Framerate available.
  • Added Apple TV 3 preset.
  • Added new Bob deinterlacing option.
• Introduced process isolation for encodes. Now if HandBrake crashes, VidCoder will keep running and continue processing the queue.
• Mixdowns that are not supported by the current source are grayed out.
• Fixed number box immediately correcting after an invalid input.
• Custom formatting now works on batch file encodes.
• Automatic audio/subtitle selection options now work on batch file encodes and on queuing multiple titles.
• Changed manual cropping settings to only allow even numbers. This should avoid having odd picture dimensions (and x264 failures).

1.3.4

Added option to join the Beta track.

The Beta track is a new, opt-in release track that will feature HandBrake nightly builds and all the new features that come with them as well as new VidCoder features. It won't be quite as stable: crashes and glitches will be more likely. However you'll get all the latest and greatest stuff and can help me squash bugs before they make it to a wider audience.

To opt in, go to Options and click the "Join the Beta track" checkbox in VidCoder or download the latest Beta release from this site.

1.3.3

• Added ability to drag a folder full of videos onto the window to queue them all.
• Added Windows Phone 7 preset.
• Upgraded HandBrake core to 0.9.8 release.
• Overhauled automatic audio and subtitle selection. (Tools -> Options -> Audio / Subtitles)
• Added "Play Source" button to preview window.
• Added chapter start time to each entry in the chapter naming dialog.
• Added size of preview file to log output.
• Added some crash protection against HandBrake returning a negative pixel aspect ratio.
• Fixed DVDs not playing with VLC 2.0.
• Fixed possible crash when auto-pausing during an on-demand scan.
• Fixed intermittent crash when opening options dialog.

1.3.2

• Added option for the minimum title length to scan.
• Added support to enable or disable LibDVDNav.
• Added option to prompt to delete source files after clearing successful completed items.

1.3.1

• Updated HandBrake core to 0.9.6 release (svn 4472).
• Removed erroneous "None" container choice.
• Change some logic and help text to stop assuming you have to pick the VIDEO_TS folder for a DVD scan. This should make previewing DVD titles on the Queue Multiple Titles window possible when you've picked the root DVD directory.
