I have to confirm what flebber already noticed - v.0.40 is pretty unstable. Besides of the crash during the analyse there are some crashes during the encoding.
And also one more remark - VidCoder 0.40 behaves like an app which must run in realtime. It horribly slows down apps which run concurrently, which is irritating, e.g. YoWindows (screensaver) opens in nearly a minute, closes even more sluggish.

Well, hopefully getting a stable release of the HB core will help the stability issues. Also it would help if I had a source file that caused a crash so I could see if I can isolate what the problem is.

In the next version I'll add in lowering the CPU priority during encodes, that defaults to below normal and is customizable.

I was able to convert the video to MP4 FFMPEG just fine using the 640x480 MP4 source from Youtube. Which source were you using?

Same that from Youtube. I reinstalled, restarted windows and it was worked fine.
I encoded few music videos from some Original Music DVD with AnyDVD installed and that was working perfect. All 23 Songs converted in few minutes. Some of them with 350 fps 2 pass in x264 this time.

I've been trying out this new app today, looks very promising! Created two MKV files from 4-5 minute test files (MKV and M2TS). Very easy to use, excellent results.

However, I'm unable to open any DVD folder structure from the hard drive. Tried several different ones, always with a "Vidcoder has stopped working" error.

Tried on 2 computers, both with Windows 7. One has Ultimate x64, the other Professional x86. Same results on both.

Washka: You can download the video in several formats in youtube: varying qualities of .flv and .mp4 are available. Which one did you get?

Mary H: Could you post the encode log? I'll see if I can repro this as well.

New release: 0.4.1:

Changes:
* Marks system as "working" to prevent computer from sleeping during an encode.
* CPU priority changed to BelowNormal during encodes.
* Encode percentage displayed on progress bar.
* Added additional options for custom format auto-naming: {preset}, {date}, {time} and {quality}.
* Fixed crash on re-opening settings window.
* Fixed crash on adding SRT subtitles.
* Fixed null reference exception on some batch encoding.
* Fixed exception when HandBrake logs an empty line.
* Fixed video encoder not updating on revert or change of preset.

Should prompt you to update next time you close VidCoder.

I just want to thank you for this amazing front-end! I'm in the process of converting my TV collection from DVDs to my NAS, and the ability to choose multiple titles from the DVD rip has been a lifesaver.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to increase the gain when using faac? The resulting audio's volume is noticeably quieter than when I used the Nero aac encoder with MeGUI.

I don't think the HandBrake API exposes audio volume controls at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

Alright. In the meantime I'll continue using ogg audio, as it plays back at a higher volume.

VidCoder 0.5.0 is out. Should auto-update when you next close it.

* Adds a Completed Items list, where you can check up on the encode time, status (Succeeded/Failed) and play the finished file by double-clicking.
* Also added Apple presets, but the advanced x264 options are wrong for the iPad preset... just delete them and it should be fine; will be fixed in the next patch.
* Fixed a few more bugs, updated the folder picker dialog, added peak framerate control, and added the smart title picking from Handbrake (can pick out the correct title from a bunch of scrambled ones).

lilhobo: That's odd. Does it happen with all source material you try?

Im aware this is more of a Handbrake issue, but I'll throw it out there anyways...

x264 has been using presets for encoding speed for a while now. Is it possible to get a list of vidcoder x264 settings that match up to the presets? IE If I want to encode similar to "slow" preset, then I must set option 1 to x, and option 2 to y, etc...

Otherwise, awesome app
