Released VidCoder 5.13:
  • Releasing v5 to Stable!
  • Updated HandBrake core to 1.3.0. This brings many new features, including:
    • Support for encoding to WebM container format
    • Support for reading Ultra HD Blu-ray discs (without copy protection)
    • Updated Intel Quick Sync Video to use Direct3D 11 API
  • Overhauled log system
    • Each scan and encode has its own separate log, and general app messages are put into the General log.
    • Logs for past scan and encode events are visible on the Log window.
    • Added button to upload the log to Pastebin and copy a link to it.
    • Added option to copy logs to a custom directory.
    • Removed in-memory log copy which should reduce VidCoder memory consumption.
  • Added support for importing SSA/ASS subtitles.
  • Improved behavior for dragging imported subtitle files: It pops up a non-blocking status message rather than opening a dialog.
  • Removed Advanced tab. It had not been updated in years, is missing a ton of options, bad defaults, inaccurate tooltips and no protection from invalid settings. The recommended way to alter these settings is now through the More Settings box and referring to up-to-date documentation on the settings: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MeGUI/x264_Settings
  • The full x264 parameter list is now displayed side-by-side with the "More Settings" box to let you know exactly what you're getting.
  • Added option to keep failed and stopped output video files. Global options -> Advanced -> Keep files from failed or stopped encodes .
  • Updated to disable move/remove/edit context menu items for jobs on the queue that are currently encoding.
  • Picker changes:
    • Added ability to automatically select chapter ranges.
    • Added ability to drag/drop rearrange them.
    • New picker will always open beside the picker it was based off of, rather than the end of the list.
  • Added shortcut buttons to source panel to change audio and video encoding settings.
  • Added keyboard tips to the ribbon when pressing Alt.
  • Added F5 keyboard shortcut to Encode or Resume.
  • Added context menu option to remove all items from the queue.
  • Added options to clear succeeded or clear failed from the completed items list.
  • Changed "Delete" menu option on queue to "Remove from queue" to make it less ambiguous.
  • Replaced worker process communication with a new .NET Core compatible library.
  • And many bug fixes and other small improvement.

Nice! I didn't even notice the update until checking the About section. Everything's done afterwards instead of before. I have a question. If I want to change the container from a file to another one, and keep everything else the same except for maybe Audio, as I like AC3 for my .mkv files instead of AAC, what should the sizing settings be set to? If it's an original 1080p .mp4 file and I want everything the same except for Audio and Container, what is the optimal setting for such? Reason I ask is that I noticed a significant file size increase for some encodings, and a decrease for others? I know that AC3 5.1 would definitely cause an increase over AAC, though that should be about it. Thanks. I'm definitely going to keep the original Aspect Ratio and Max Width and Height as in DVD encodes. It gets tricky when going from Hi-Def to Hi-Def and container to container. Thanks.

I don't know what happened with the new version, but I encoded the same DVD to HEVC and this time it was 600mb larger? That's a helluva difference with same settings etc...

Released VidCoder 6.0 Beta:
  • First v6 Beta release. A few minor fixes to start with.
  • Changed to take container/subtitle type compatibility into account when choosing multiple subtitles via the picker.
  • Added support for preserving an audio track's name during encoding. We now show the name in the track list in the main window.
  • Removed the advanced option to edit the audio track name; now it is always visible.
  • Removed some unused resources.
  • Fixed the (none) placeholder text not appearing when max width/height is not set.
  • Fixed missing DRC label.
  • Fixed a problem where the pause and stop buttons could get disabled at the end of an queue with simultaneous encodes.
  • Fixed crash on trying to apply current preset to queue when the only items in queue are encoding.

Hi RandomEngy, Please let me know what went wrong if anything on my part as it's been a while since I get a failed! Thanks.

No upgrade option in my version at all? What happened?

From the log, this is the error:

ERROR: Could not rename to final output path. Output is left as 'C:\Users\Noloc42\Videos\VidCoder Encodes\Godfather P2 Dom.mkv.part'
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Noloc42\Videos\VidCoder Encodes\Godfather P2 Dom.mkv' because it is being used by another process.

Looks like the encode succeeded but something had the old file open, so it couldn't rename to get to the final file name.

VidCoder erring out lately.

Here's the logs for the last errors I received. Already about 3 stopped jobs at early stages of encoding.

dr_ml422: Those logs looks like the encode succeeded. Can you give me some more details on what exactly is going wrong?

Can't preview anything.

Ok so Windows 10 won't let me preview anything, even when I downloaded the latest build from here. I uninstalled everything with a clean uninstall and it still won't let me open up a player and preview anything. Can you help me with that if you can, thanks.

Those previous files were a bad rip. I used something else and all went well, but I can't preview anything still. Can you provide a working link so I can download it, install it and see if it works? Thanks.

Are you using the built-in player to preview? Or are you using the system player? If the built-in player is having trouble (which it does for certain codecs) you can go to Global Options -> General -> Players and uncheck "Use built-in player for previews". You are asking for a "working link". A working link to what?
