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

  • Updated HandBrake core to 1.9.2.
  • Add the expected file path to the error message when the output video file cannot be found.
