Review by papcom on Mar 10, 2015 Version: hcenc 027 OS: Windows 8 64-bit Ease of use: 5/10 Functionality: 8/10 Value for money: 9/10 Overall: 7/10




Please ignore my previous comment, I have no idea of why the fixed 0.27 build first refused to work but now is working as it should 0_o Encoding to 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 @ 1920x1080 are OK ~~ so far, at least.

Worse than below. For some "lucky" users, the new beta (2014-10-11) works under XP, but it does not talk to Avisynth anymore :–/
