Prerequisites

You'll need .NET 4 (only the client profile is needed). If you don't have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. If you're on Windows 8 you shouldn't need to install anything; it has .NET 4 pre-installed.

You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work.

What's New

  • Fixed HandBrake issue where the completion % would jump past 100% for a short while and create errors in the logs.
  • Fixed issue where the source subtitle name would not be passed through for the last subtitle.
  • Stopped generation of x264 preset string when other encoders are selected.
  • Updated translations.
