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.

Feature list:

Multi-threaded
MP4, MKV containers
H.264 encoding with x264, the world’s best video encoder
Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files
H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video
AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough
Target bitrate, size or quality for video
2-pass encoding
Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect filters
Batch encoding
Instant source previews
