9.8 Beta

• Changed to delay the allow sleep operation until after the post-encode triggers have had a chance to execute. This should fix an issue where the system would sleep instead of shutting down as configured.
• Fixed issue where the source file removal would use the currently selected picker instead of the picker that was used to queue the job.
• Made it significantly more difficult to hang the program when resizing the left side of the Encoding Settings window over another window.
• Updated HandBrake core.

9.7 Beta

• Added a Picker ability to choose titles based on the width or height.
• Fixed an issue where file watcher updates would sometimes get lost and not make it to the main process.
• Fixed bug where "pick only titles between X and Y minutes" feature did not respect the configured picker when using the file watcher.
• Updated HandBrake core.

9.6 Beta

• Updated HandBrake core.
• Added logging for when media playback fails on the Compare window.

9.5 Beta

• Added log window virtualization. This should greatly reduce memory use and prevent hangs when using Extended logging.
• Added an option to remove the cap of 3 simultaneous NVEnc encodes. Only those that have custom NVidia drivers that remove the cap should choose this.
• Increased the maximum simultaneous encode setting cap to 16.
• Fixed crash when importing a queue from a file, then opening the compare window when done.
• Added more checks around the file save dialog, retrying without an initial directory or file name when it fails. This fixes a potential crash on an invalid folders.

9.4 Beta

• Enabled NVDec hardware decoding, supported only when using an NVEnc encoder and with the right hardware.
• Fixed Variable framerate radio button sometimes being cut off when the Windows text size is increased.
• Updated PipeMethodCalls library to use more efficient message encoding.

9.3 Beta

• Updated HandBrake core. Adds AV1 NVEnc and improves HDR passthrough.
• Fixed potential crash bug on closing in Portable version.

9.2 Beta

• Added additional named pipe communication logging with Extended verbosity. This should help track down a sporadic bug.

9.1 Beta

• Added a check to the polling folder watcher to make sure the file is not locked before adding it.

9.0 Beta

First v9 Beta release

• Added the option to use a polling folder watcher (Global options ➡️ Advanced ➡️ Watcher mode). This is a slower, less efficient way of detecting files in watched folders, but is a good option if you find the regular watcher is not functioning.
• Updated Global Options to immediately apply changes.
• Added shortcuts to the Encoding Settings and Picker windows from the Global Options window. It includes desriptions to help people find settings they are looking for.
• Changed log format to explicitly state the log source (HB or VC). This fixes an issue where log lines would be improperly colored when loading a previous log.
• Added a timestamp to all VidCoder log entries.

8.25

• 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.
