  • Added File->Exit .
  • Added inline warning for DTS audio in MP4 container.
  • Fixed problem where the first click on another UI element while editing the destination would not register.
  • Fixed problem where entered text in the destination field might get clobbered when a scan finishes.
  • Fixed problem where blu-ray folders wouldn't get the right {source} for auto-naming.
  • Fixed File -> Open options being available when scanning.

1.0.0

VidCoder is now out of beta! Thanks everybody for the bug reports and feature suggestions. Nothing exactly special about this release but I feel that it's a mature enough project to go to 1.0. :)

  • Added splash screen
  • Updated to HandBrake svn 4167: This adds AAC and MP3 passthrough as well as DTS and DTS-HD passthrough for MP4.
  • Fixed an encode failure that could happen on audio passthrough.

0.9.3

26 Nov 19:26

  • Added option to Sleep, Log off or Shut down after the encode queue completes.
  • Added support for DTS-HD passthrough. Note that Target Size/Size estimation will not work correctly for this as the underlying libraries do not report the bitrate correctly.
  • Added Dynamic Range Compression (DRC) support
  • Added shortcuts to re-open recent sources
  • Updated Normal preset x264 settings to be faster. (mirroring HandBrake update)
  • Moved encode progress bar and ETA down to the bottom of the window.
  • Updated to HandBrake SVN 4103.
  • The XmlSerializers used are now pre-compiled. This means things should be a little faster on startup and this should eliminate some crashes related to compiling them.
  • Changed update metadata storage to use the sqlite DB. This along with some extra checks to ensure the installer file exists should eliminate some reported crashes around auto-update.
  • Stopped reporting early completions as failures. Too many false positives.
  • Prevent a crash when getting the system DPI fails.
  • Removed code that reads an old version of the encode queue. Should prevent crashes that have been reported.
  • Fixed buggy "(Empty)" drive option appearing in the source list.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to pause a restored queue item before the on-demand scan had completed. The pause button is now disabled until it can have effect.
  • Fixed some controls getting partially cut off in the Picture tab at minimum window width.

0.9.2

26 Nov 19:25

  • Updated to HandBrake 4024svn. This fixes problems with mpeg2 sources: corrupted previews, incorrect progress indicators and encodes that incorrectly report as failed.
  • Fixed a problem that prevented target sizes above 2048 MB.

0.9.1

26 Nov 19:24

Choose a tag to compare

  • Added color coding to the Log window. Errors are highlighted in red, HandBrake logs are in black and VidCoder logs are in dark blue.
  • Moved enqueue button to the right with the other control buttons.
  • Added logic to report failures when errors are logged during the encode or when the encode finishes prematurely.
  • Added Copy button to Log window.
  • Adjusted audio track selection box to always show the full track name.
  • Changed encode job progress bar to also be colored yellow when the encode is paused.
  • Added multi-select to drag and drop on all lists (queue, customize queue columns).
  • Updated to HandBrake 4011svn. This may fix some crashes on mpeg2 sources.

0.9.0

26 Nov 19:24

Choose a tag to compare

  • New startup UI for one-click scanning of discs or opening a file/folder.
  • New seek bar on the preview window to make switching previews easier (you can click anywhere on the bar).
  • Added gradient backgrounds to the main window to visually group the sections.
  • Added Open Video File and Open Video Folder options to the File menu.
  • Moved preview button to be in line with the other control buttons.
  • Fixed settings getting in a weird state if they were saved without an output folder being chosen.
  • Fixed preview image not getting updated for the first change made after saving a preset.
  • Fixed potential overlap of file names when batch encoding by fixing the auto-numbering system.
  • Fixed crash on batch encoding files with no audio.
  • Fixed issue with psy-rd not registering above 1.0.
  • Fixed video encoder getting null value when switching from MKV to MP4 with Theora selected

0.8.4

26 Nov 19:22

Choose a tag to compare

  • Added automatic preview of encoding bitrate when Target Size is chosen, and file size estimation when Average Bitrate is chosen. Also moved bitrate calculation to VidCoder as it will be removed from HandBrake soon.
  • Added button to clear completed queue items.
  • Increased size of number box controls in the queue multiple titles dialog to compensate for up and down buttons getting added.
  • Fixed bug with range specification which was causing the end of the range to be used as a duration.
  • Encodes that fail to produce an output file but report success are now reported correctly as failed.
  • Changed preview to use calculated bitrate for the full encode when using Target Size.

0.8.3

  • Added new feature from HandBrake: Audio Gain. You can now adjust the volume up or down when encoding a track.
  • Updated to HandBrake version 3935svn.
  • Changed user preset storage and queue persistence to use SQLite database instead of XML files. Should eliminate the chance a crash could wipe out user data.
  • Added ability to export a preset to an XML file, since user presets can no longer be found in the %appdata%\VidCoder directory.
  • Added up and down buttons to number controls.
  • Added individual job ETA to queue progress tooltip.
  • Changed "video file" icon to look a bit more like a traditional windows file icon.
  • Fixed turbo first pass not working.
