They're stored in %appdata%\VidCoder\VidCoder.sqlite . It's a SQLite database. They used to be in .xml files but there was a problem that your presets would disappear if the program crashed during an update. You can get them back into XML files to look at manually by exporting them.

Something about AMD Catalyst 11.8. They should not be used with VidCoder (I checked 0.9.3 and 1.0.0) because the windows of the program show big ugly black spaces. Something is definitely wrong with the drivers because it happens not only with VidCoder and has been reported by quite many users. Catalyst 11.5 drivers work without any problems (checked by myself).

Would like to request a feature or 2...

A overwrite warning would be good and some settings to either, overwrite without warning, warn before overwrite, or rename the file and continue.

Would also appreciate a easier way to rename the output file before encoding, maybe even batch naming...

thanks

Customizing the behavior on overwrites sounds like a good idea to me. I'll put it on the backlog.

As for renaming the output file before encoding, you can just click on the output path and type in the new name. It's not terribly obvious that you can click there and I plan to fix that in my next release.

And for batch naming, there's already an auto-naming system in place: you could use that to name multiple files.

Right, thanks for pointing that out. There's like 7 things I do after every release and that slipped my mind this time around.

Released VidCoder 1.0.1:

* Added the ability to bring back a queued item for editing (Right click -> Edit).
* Added an option to minimize to the system notification area rather than the task bar.
* Added Android encoding presets.
* Added context menu options to queue items to move them to the top or bottom of the queue.
* Changed encode destination box to look more like an editable text box.
* Support for subme=11 in the advanced options GUI.

* Fixed a problem where a deblock filter could get added to the encode when deblock was disabled. This should fix issues with normal encodes only using 1 CPU core.

Thanks for new version! But I have a problem since v1.0.. I always get these error in the log: ERROR: Invalid byte for codeset in input, discard byte
# Encode failed. Error(s) were reported during the encode.
And this is when I import a srt file in the encode. The resulting file get the subtitle but it is missing some characters..

I have a request aswell. It's more of a little irritant than anything else.

I realise there are a couple of ways to close VidCoder, but I am so use to doing File>Exit with other programs, it would be nice to see this in VidCoder.

If not, thanks for reading. The program is excellent.

Hobbe: Hmm, does the encoding you chose on the SRT file in VidCoder match up with the encoding of the actual SRT file?

mike: Sure, I'll add it.

Go to Start -> Run -> %appdata%\VidCoder

Then delete the directory with the update installer in it, and try running again. I'll fix this in the next version.

Hi, I'm on the lastest Video. Coder v1.something
I used the old version to convert DVDs to. Mp4 for playback on PS3. They work fine.
Using the latest version I'm using 2 aac audio tracks in the output file...+ .mp4. Container with h264 inside.
The PS3 now plays the 1St audio track slightly out of sync, but the file is fine.
Anything I can do to to stop the 2nd audio fouling things up?

Cheers

Erm ok, I just tried a .M2ts source file using same settings...all OK on PS3 video player.
Does the app handle .m2ts files differently from.Vob's?

VidCoder doesn't add any special logic for VOB vs M2TS. I think the difference in handling would be in HandBrake.

I don't know of any. You would have to look in the MeGui preset and translate the x264 options string to the HandBrake/VidCoder format.

OK, just went to HdConvertTox GUI for a comparison on the same. Vob input files...
Again, plays fine on pc (as does the vidcoder output), but it definitley did something different with the file with playback on ps3 XMB video player, playback is flawless..... I just can't stand the interface of hdconvertTox

Are you the developers of this vidcoder?, or do they watch this thread?

Cheers.
