I know I know the tool doesn't have those fancy settings you found in others but for DVDs on 8-bit encode vidcoder just like handbreake have no rival just as simple as that!

I use Handbrake and StaxRip for most of my H.264 encoding, but VidCoder is the #1 tool for encoding DVD rips to MKV. No problems with "blurring" here. Never tried a Blu-Ray but this is great for adding DVDs to a Media Center while saving space.

My problem with this tools is all my converted video have some degree of blur that I cant fix .also I liked to have access to some of X264 advanced option that it seems are not implemented in the GUI other wise it's a good and easy tool to begin with

I must reverse my earlier post. I loaded the Vidcoder 1.0.0 x86 as that is where the link from here took me. I had problems after the first encoding was complete and I was asked to load the 1.0.1 version. I kept getting an error message. I went back to Vidcoder website and under downloads found the 1.0.1 x64 and downloaded that. It has worked very well and I can now watch movies on the road with my Dorid X or my Toshiba Thrive.

Well it worked once. I converted a BD so I could load it on a Toshiba tablet and Droid X phone. After that I tried to convert another BD and all I get is an error screen that asks me to copy and report the problem, but nothing happens. I uninstalled and re installed the 1.0.0 version that worked and now I still get the same error screen. Wish it would work again.

I've to encode from pal and upscale my dvd to 720p, so I need to change colormatrix, transfer and colorprim. Your tips doesn't work, video format=pal work ok, not other option.

darkio, I really like that VidCoder has a simple interface which makes it easy for everyone to use. Yet it's very powerful, and it'll still support what you're asking it to do. Simply go to settings, then Advanced, and then type in the "options string" box any additional encoding options that you wish to add. Keep in mind PAL and NTSC have different bt601 matrices according to table E-3 (Colour Primaries) in the H.264 spec. So bt470bg = bt601 625 = bt1358 625 = bt1700 625 (PAL/SECAM), and smpte170m = bt601 525 = bt1358 525 = bt1700 NTSC. So you'd want to append your options to include the following: videoformat=ntsc:colormatrix=smpte170m A list of additional options can be found here: http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings. Since VidCoder uses the handbrake engine, commands have to be typed in the way handbrake wants them formatted, as per this guide: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/x264Options

last version has bug to encoding ac3 multichannel into various format like vorbis, ac3 or aac. It downsampling multichannel into dolby prologic II. Please, add option to change colour primaries, transfer characteristics, matrix coefficients and format system, my encoding (pal) use always bt-601 and ntsc format. !
