VidCoder: Alternative HandBrake GUI for Windows - Page 70

RandomEngy · 11th December 2018, 17:06

The HandBrake library exposes a "default" bitrate when you give it a codec, samplerate and channel layout. In their UI they use it to initially pick the bitrate that's chosen when you load up the source. In VidCoder I use it to power the "Auto" choice. With "Auto" it will always pick the default bitrate for whatever sample rate, mixdown and codec is chosen.

so the 160 in my example is from handbrake
but the 192 must be from ur UI then

10) can u add the column selection in completed tab just as queued tab? such as qualities audio codecs etc

11) is it possible when u edit a completed task and change the "restored from queue" preset into a "xyz" preset to follow the "xyz" file naming rules?

so for instance if i restore a sample i did with light denoise and i select a preset called "strong" that has strong denoise and adds to the filename the {preset} name so instead of "captain fantastic (2016) - 21 - light.mkv" it will switch the name to "captain fantastic (2016) - 21 - medium.mkv"

i assume thats must be difficult request due to getting the naming scleme from the picker initially so normally u would expect a brand new "dragged and dropped" movie to name not one already verified by the picker

basically is there any way to alter the naming scleme from a "restored from queue" item or is it locked and can only be changed manually?

I just tried editing a completed task and switching the preset and it does update the generated file name. Is that not what you're seeing?

As for #10 I'll put it on the backlog but it could be a while before I get to it.

wierd

did u press "edit"?
did the task returned as "restored from completed" preset??

what happens when u change the "restored from completed" preset to a "xyz" preset ? does the name change accordingly?
mine is stuck. on the contrary when i do samples and i change presets it goes from strong to medium etc and when i slide the qrf bar it changes 21 to 22 etc

RandomEngy · 15th December 2018, 04:32

Yes I pressed "Edit" and it returned as "restored from completed" preset. After switching to a different one, the name did change.

Not sure it's happening here but if you make a manual edit to the path it can "lock" it to that name and disable the auto-naming.

hmmmm
apparently when restoring from queue the general naming options take priority over picker naming

if i restore a stadard movie the naming works
if i restore a sample it doesnt
thats becauze samples have "picker" specific naming scleme while normal movies dont so they fall back to the general options

i suppose i can switch the general option to be for samples and make the stadard movies have a specific naming scleme that just uses {source}

napouser · 15th December 2018, 09:18

ok i found it

apparently the "time range selection" locks the auto name feature

try creating a picker with time selection 1 00 00 to 1 30 00

drag and drop a movie play with presets a bit

queue it

then add an other movie

queue it

now restore the first one

cant do autorename

RandomEngy · 16th December 2018, 08:02

Ahh I can reproduce it now. Will be fixed in next Beta release.

Is there currently any support for 10-bit encoding by any chance? If not, is there a possibility that this will become available in the future? It may already be there and I've just missed it. There are a lot of options!

Thanks.

RandomEngy · 24th December 2018, 17:20

Yes, the beta has support for 10-bit x264 and x265 and 12-bit x265.

You are my hero!

Released VidCoder 4.20 Beta:
"Added fallback to av_aac for when presets are using fdk_aac but the current build of hb.dll doesn't support it."

obviusly this means that if they fallback if and when u restore an fdk_aac build they will stay that way so u have to readd them(or readd the queue from file ...maybe)

Again, sorry for the probably simple question but which profiles are 10-bit enabled and is there a way to toggle it on/off for a specific profile?

Thank you
