Thanks Random Energy for the great product.
I have a question about the constant quality setting. First, what is the reason for the differing scale value between Vidcoder and Handbrake, since Vidcoder uses the Handbrake engine? The Vidcoder default is 20, I think, and if I recall correctly, I think the Handbrake default is 60.something. Is the Vidcoder default the exact same as the Handbrake default. In your opinion, is there any benefit encoding at a setting of 18 vs 20? Also, for anyone out there that might be able to answer this question...I recently mass encoded a large number of video files with Vidcoder. Most of the files compressed by 50% or more; however, there were a few that compressed by very little. I know every file is different, but does this sound like an incorrectly encoded file? It seems like most encodings will shrink file size by 50-66%. I had some problems when trying to pass-through DTS or AC-3 5.1. The file would show instantaneously completed, but there was nothing really done. As a general plan, I decided to encode to MKV and keep the original audio for anything above 2-channel and go ahead and convert to aac the 2-channel AC-3. I have been demuxing the original VOB and encoding the video only in Vidcoder and later merging everything together. Can you provide a few words on how to successfully accomplish everything in Vidcoder for passing through DTS or DD 5.1? Thanks Warren |

My last 3 encodes have all been defective.
The audio starts in sync, but gets out of sync as the movie progresses. The audio track is faster than the video track. I've encoded the same movies with RipBot264, and they stay in sync, through-out the film. And all the movies I encoded with VidCoder before the issue appeared, were all in sync, as well. Code:
General Complete name : F:\Die Hard.mkv Format : Matroska File size : 551 MiB Duration : 2h 13mn Overall bit rate : 578 Kbps Writing application : HandBrake svn3345 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : Main@L3.0 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 3 frames Muxing mode : Container profile=Unknown@3.0 Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 2h 13mn Nominal bit rate : 412 Kbps Width : 718 pixels Height : 368 pixels Display aspect ratio : 2.35:1 Original display aspect ratio : 2.35:1 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.065 Writing library : x264 core 95 r1592 95aacc4 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=3 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x1:0x111 / me=hex / subme=7 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=0 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=0 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=0 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=240 / keyint_min=24 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=40 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=412 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00 Color primaries : BT.601-6 525, BT.1358 525, BT.1700 NTSC, SMPTE 170M Transfer characteristics : BT.709-5, BT.1361 Matrix coefficients : BT.601-6 525, BT.1358 525, BT.1700 NTSC, SMPTE 170M Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format version : Version 4 Format profile : LC Format settings, SBR : No Codec ID : A_AAC Duration : 2h 13mn Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Language : English

First off, the issue above only occurred if the source audio was dts.
I selected the ac3 track and it encoded fine, with no sync issues. I do have a question, though. Looking at the encoding setting above, I see that "threads=1, sliced threads=0". Is there a way to change the threads in VidCoder? And a feature request, although not very likely, but here goes. A "Create Sample" button, to fully test settings before encoding. In options, the user can specify starting point and stopping point. Then clicking the button will create a small sample video. Just a thought. It would be helpful.

I'm familiar with the preview feature, and use it regularly.
But I was referring to creating a sample file in an output directory. Unless there is a way to save the file created for the preview. I'll take a look and see if it's possible. And thanks for replying. Would you happen to know the answer to my question about setting the threads in VC? EDIT: I was able to locate the preview file at C:\Documents and Settings\~USERNAME~\Application Data\VidCoder\Preview.mkv on XP.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "changing the threads". HandBrake by default will auto-detect the number of cores in your system and spawn threads to use as many as it can. This is what VidCoder does. Do you want it to do something different?

Released VidCoder 0.6.0.
* Overhauled Advanced x264 panel to bring it up to date and streamline a few things. * Reworked the Destination UI to be a bit cleaner than a plain textbox. Added more error checking on the Destination box. * Broke out Current/Average FPS to a popup dialog box when hovering over the progress bar. * Added "Same as Source" option for audio sample rate. Also did refactoring to store sample rate as a raw number in Hz. * Visual refresh for Input/Output preview boxes: added gradients, shadows and moved the label inside the box. * Added tab navigation for titles in the Chapter Markers dialog, and made the text selected by default after tabbing to another title. * Changed auto-naming to avoid choosing the same name as the input file. * Updated to latest HandBrake SVN (3501) * Added icon to the "Play" button for generating preview clips and changed text to "Play Preview Clip". * Added (No chapters found) marker when there is only one chapter, instead of the "Chapters 1 - 1" UI. * Added tooltips explaining why the .mp4 extension or the Add Source Subtitle buttons are disabled. * Tweaked color of paused progress bar. * Fixed problem where batch file encodes were not automatically assigned the right extension. * Fixed bug preventing chapter marker UI from showing/hiding when "Include Chapter Marker" checkbox is toggled. * Fixed crash when using custom chapter names across titles with different chapter numbers. Disabled custom chapter names carrying over from title to title. * Fixed bug that caused the Pixel Aspect Ratio to display as 0/0 when first switching to Custom Anamorphic. * Fixed UI issues that could occur when the source scan failed. |

The new version seems to be coming along well. Running a few test encodes now. Really this next thing I can do this myself, but thought a good preset to add would be a default divxplus HD.
