Version history / Release notes / Changelog
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.

I really like the video coder, because it is more software oriented, making video ripping to a smaller file less difficult, without applying filters. However, there are some drawbacks that bother me a lot, such as the fact that I mentioned earlier about image enhancement filters, the delay in conversions, even converting only the video track, and besides, the results, Although the purpose of the program is only to convert, they are average, say a grade of 10. Well in the last we have the vid coder, had a huge improvement, both in interface and settings, and hopefully conversion engine, be increasingly perfected.

This has been a blessing to find VidCoder. I have been making and saving video for 15 years. Lots of different versions of videos. ISO files, DVD file images and many video disks. Also, some home movies in AVI, Wmv and several other formats. This thing will convert it all quickly and with great results. Now I can take all this and make a external USB disk DLNA attached to my router for all my smart devices to use. THANK YOU VIDCODER !!!!! I'm a fan.
