VidCoder 10.13 / 11.1 Beta

VidCoder

VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs.

You’ll need the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed.

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

VidCoder 10.13 / 10.12 changelog:

Fix crash when QSV decoding is enabled
Updated to HandBrake 1.8.1
Added {sourcepath} as an option for post-encoding actions.
Allowed watching the same folders with different presets.
Added status toast updates for new versions.
Fixed crash when encountering a database version that is too high.
Fixed crash when a deleted log file is selected in the Log window.
Fixed an issue where scan process crashes would hang the bulk scan operation.
Renamed two-pass to multi-pass
Added some protection to avoid accidentally running cleanup on a new encoding process if the previous one failed.
Remove "standard error" redirect behavior for worker processes.
Updated code to "rescue" the window placement. It's now activated if it's on the screen by less than 10 pixels.

Updated installer to Velopack.
