VidCoder 10.1 Beta

What's new in this version:

VidCoder 10.1 Beta
- Updated from Clowd.Squirrel to Velopack installer
- Changed installer move to copy, since the .exe is considered a Velopack asset
- Separated the update check and download statuses, and hooked up the download progress UI update
- Updated Velopack version and moved Velopack run to app start to satisfy the validator


VidCoder 10.0 Beta
- Added option to stop showing the encode progress in the Window title. This allows working around a Windows bug where the Alt-Tab switcher flickers on window title updates.
- Updated HandBrake core to latest master


VidCoder 9.16 Beta
Fixed:
- issue where Deinterlace and Denoise presets would sometimes show as blank when switching encoding profiles
- empty dropdowns when some video filters are not set


VidCoder 9.14 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core to 1.7.2 to prepare for stable release


VidCoder 9.13 Beta
- Fixed crash when editing short preset names


VidCoder 9.11 Beta
- Removed the extra padding frame meant to show padding in the preview window. This is no longer needed as the image previews now have the padding included. This fixes an issue with the aspect ratio of the picture looking wrong in the preview window.
- Updated HandBrake core


VidCoder 9.10 Beta
- Added "None" option for automatic audio track selection
- Added a log message to General if the Stable -> Beta settings copy does not work
- Speculative fix for hang on dragging the encoding settings window
- Updated HandBrake core


VidCoder 9.9 Beta
- Added option to restart on encode/queue complete
- Removed restriction on setting another subtitle as Default when a track is burned in
- Fixed issue where the VidCoder file watcher auto-start was not disabled when disabling the Watcher
- Updated the preset resize hang fix to be more robust. We now ignore any preset drag move move event that happens shortly after the encoding window resizes
- Updated HandBrake core


VidCoder 9.8 Beta
- Changed to delay the allow sleep operation until after the post-encode triggers have had a chance to execute. This should fix an issue where the system would sleep instead of shutting down as configured
- Fixed issue where the source file removal would use the currently selected picker instead of the picker that was used to queue the job
- Made it significantly more difficult to hang the program when resizing the left side of the Encoding Settings window over another window
- Updated HandBrake core


VidCoder 9.7 Beta
- Added a Picker ability to choose titles based on the width or height
- Fixed an issue where file watcher updates would sometimes get lost and not make it to the main process
- Fixed bug where "pick only titles between X and Y minutes" feature did not respect the configured picker when using the file watcher
- Updated HandBrake core


VidCoder 9.6 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core
- Added logging for when media playback fails on the Compare window


VidCoder 9.4 Beta
- Enabled NVDec hardware decoding, supported only when using an NVEnc encoder and with the right hardware
- Fixed Variable framerate radio button sometimes being cut off when the Windows text size is increased
- Updated PipeMethodCalls library to use more efficient message encoding


VidCoder 9.3 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core. Adds AV1 NVEnc and improves HDR passthrough.
- Fixed potential crash bug on closing in Portable version


VidCoder 9.2 Beta
- Added additional named pipe communication logging with Extended verbosity. This should help track down a sporadic bug.


VidCoder 9.0 Beta
- Added the option to use a polling folder watcher (Global options ➡️ Advanced ➡️ Watcher mode). This is a slower, less efficient way of detecting files in watched folders, but is a good option if you find the regular watcher is not functioning.
- Updated Global Options to immediately apply changes
- Added shortcuts to the Encoding Settings and Picker windows from the Global Options window. It includes desriptions to help people find settings they are looking for.
- Changed log format to explicitly state the log source (HB or VC). This fixes an issue where log lines would be improperly colored when loading a previous log.
- Added a timestamp to all VidCoder log entries


VidCoder 8.16 Beta
- Fixed issue where the output file name and extension for watched encodes was coming from the current encoding settings instead of the one configured with the Watcher
- Fixed potential threading issue in ConfigObservable


VidCoder 8.14 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core to 1.6.0 to prepare for stable release
- Fixed minor issue with audio track overhead in target size calculation
- Fixed crash when editing an imported queue item from a disc source


VidCoder 8.13 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core
- Changed to pass in the correct PixelsPerDip value when calculating text size. This should fix some issues with cut off file paths
- Changed the watcher file path to use the PathTextBlock so it can intelligently resize based on the column width
- Updated Picker logic to avoid adding the "search" subtitle entry when there are no subtitles on the source
- Disabled foreign audio search when there are no source subtitles


VidCoder 7.1 Beta
- Fixed video encoding Tune value not updating correctly when switching encoding presets with different containers
- Added app manifest to declare us as per monitor DPI aware, which fixes window maximization in some multi-monitor setups with different DPIs
- Updated HandBrake core to a new nightly build
- Ported some bug fixes from the stable release


VidCoder 6.36 Beta
- Updated HandBrake core
- Fixed issue where picker CLI argument was ignored for audio and subtitle track picking
- Fixed not using the configured audio, subtitle and range picker settings when choosing picker with CLI
- Updated DVD folder behavior to always pick the VIDEO_TS folder to work with the new scanning library version


VidCoder 6.35 Beta
- Fixed issue that stalled batch scans after 46 items.
- Suppressed warning dialog for unrecognized subtitle file encoding when loading in a batch, to prevent duplicate warning dialogs.


VidCoder 6.34 Beta
- Added the ability to automatically include .srt, .ssa or .ass files with the same name as the source video.
- Moved Rotate filter to before the crop/scale filter. This means that output sizes/cropping are applied after rotation.

- Disabled the non-functional 2-pass encoding option for QuickSync encoders.
- Added deprecation warning for Windows 7 / 8.
