VidCoder: Alternative HandBrake GUI for Windows

[RandomEngy]

DTS passthrough should work. Are you using an MKV container?

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 1.4.21 (https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/107071):

* Fixed frames range option not working correctly.
* Fixed the status message blocking clicks when not visible.

[Mr. Monte]

It was a M2TS BluRay stream. The latest nightly build of handbrake worked fine (with its auto passthrough for DTS, AC3..etc)

[RandomEngy]

Can you give me an encode log?

[odditory]

Hey RandomEngy, just curious if youve thought about adding Quicksync support, now that Handbrake added it (https://trac.handbrake.fr/milestone/QuickSync%20Beta) a few weeks ago?

Obviously x264 is still the superior encoder but there are times I want to quickly bulk-transcode a bunch of shows or movies for tablet consumption and the PQ between x264 and QS doesn't make much diff on the small screen.

[RandomEngy]

It will happen sometime. QSV and OpenCL are each in their own branches for the moment; I think I may wait until they make it to the main branch as I don't want to deal with multiple beta tracks.

[fantasmanegro]

recently i got a video encoded with handbrake for mac... but it can't be opened by handbrake or vidcoder... any clue about this?...

[RandomEngy]

Give a scan log to the HandBrake team. Must be something wrong with the platform-specific code for Windows.

[RandomEngy]

@ RandomEngy:

In MeGUI there are a lot of statistics/infos while encoding, like (the figures are just examples):


Postition in clip / Total length: 00:00:30 / 00:01:00

Current / Total frames: 900 / 1800

Current / Projected filesize: 50,00 MB / 100,00 MB

Processing rate: 10,00 FPS

Time elapsed: 00:01:00

Time remaining: 00:10:00

Progress: Progress bar here


The one from those which is missing in VidCoder, but at the same time rather useful IMHO, is the "Projected filesize" info.

It shows how big (or small) the file will be at the end of the encode.

In MeGUI it's usually quite accurate, even when using CRF as ratecontrol (but of course it can only be fully accurate after the last frame has been processed ;) ).

When running from cmd, the x264 CLI shows the current bitrate while encoding, so i guess the "Projected filesize" info is calculated from that, but not sure.

Can you add a "Projected filesize" info to VidCoder as well?

And can you move "Current FPS:" and "Average FPS:" out of the tooltip (when hovering over the progress bar with the mouse-courser) and next to or below "ETA:"?

Because, IMHO it's inconvenient having to hover the mouse-cursor over the progress bar to see them :p;).

Hmm thought I had replied to this earlier but I guess it was just a draft. Projecting filesize would be kind of difficult in VidCoder because the running total isn't something we get back from the HandBrake API. About the FPS, I purposefully hid it because it's something that you might check once to see what it was but that you didn't need to keep constant track of during the encode. Space in the main window is at a premium; maybe sometime I will add in an optional window that displays encoding statistics...

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 1.4.22 (https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/108094):

* Added Xbox 360 preset, thanks to Relhak.
* Added Spanish translation, thanks to fantasmanegro.
* Added Basque translation, thanks to azpidatziak.

* Fixed behavior of custom anamorphic auto display width and max width/height.
* Fixed double-logging on local encodes.
* Fixed remote encoder not using libdvdnav even when enabled, which had caused some problems with multi-angle DVDs.

Hi. RandomEnergy, does VidCoder support 10bit x264 ? Is it possible that I can update the program with the x264 encoder I want? Like to use the kMOD x264 in 10bit?
Plus, does Vidcoder have AutoCrop feature?

[mike20021969]

does Vidcoder have AutoCrop feature?
Yes. It has Automatic, None & Custom.

[meshaun]

Thanks for the reply.
How about the 10bit x264? Or using Custom made x264?

[RandomEngy]

You can't use a custom-made x264 unless you build a new hb.dll with it baked in. As for the 10-bit, I don't think HandBrake supports it: their pipeline is 8-bit.

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 1.5.0 Beta (https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/108132):

The betas have started up again!

If you were previously on the beta track you will need to install this to get back on it. That's because you can now run both the Beta and Stable version of VidCoder side-by-side!

Note that the OpenCL and Intel QuickSync changes being tested by HandBrake are not in the betas yet. They will appear when HandBrake integrates them into the main branch.

* Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5590. This adds a new FDK AAC encoder. The FAAC encoder has been removed and now avcodec's encoder is the default.
* Available sample rates and framerates are now read dynamically from libhb.

[Slitheen]

Ok I've downloaded the new Beta and deleted the old one.

I tried the new beta but when I click settings it crashes

No crashes using Windows XP SP3.

What's your operating system?

[Hobbe]

No crashes using Windows XP SP3.

What's your operating system?

Windows 7 SP1 x64

[RandomEngy]

Yeah that's a known crash on locales with , as the decimal marker. I'll have it fixed in the next beta.

[mike20021969]

With the latest beta 1.5.0.0, I've just noticed that under Settings>Audio>Mixdown, the 7.1 (5F/2R/LFE) option has gone.

Is that by design?

[RandomEngy]

All the mixdowns and compatibility with codecs I get dynamically from HandBrake. There was a bit of a codec shuffle in the nightlies and now it seems that no AAC or AC3 encoder is listed as supporting 6.1 or 7.1 on Windows. I'll ask the HandBrake folks about it.

[RandomEngy]

<RandomEngy> Just to confirm: since the codec shuffle in the nightlies, no AAC or AC3 encoder on windows supports 6.1 or 7.1 surround?
<Rodeo> RandomEngy: hmm, looks like it
<Rodeo> they never supported 6.1, and faac only supported 7.1 5F/2R/LFE anyway
<Rodeo> I had patches to make it support "regular" 6.1 and 7.1 as found on Blu-ray, but I don't believe I ever enabled those mixdowns for faac anyway
<Rodeo> it's not yet a standard AAC configuration, and few decoders support "custom" AAC layouts (where you describe the layout's number of front, side and back channels
<Rodeo> as for AC3, the standard never supported channel configurations beyond 5.1

[Mr. Monte]

random,

I have some MKV's with subtitles that I am re-encoding. When I select subtitles all in the options..it still wont select the subtitles in the MKV..I have to do it manually. Now, they show up as Unknown UTF8..is that normal?

[mike20021969]

Thanks for checking.

:thanks:

[cengizhan]

I have tried 1.5 beta portable x64 today. after ~30minutes all my memory (i have 8 gigabytes) was consumed by it and windows applications started to crash one by one because of low memory.

[RandomEngy]

Was it VidCoder or VidCoderWorker that was taking up the memory? It doesn't seem to be expanding in the tests I've done. Does it just eat up more memory while encoding? Could you send me the encoding preset you're using?

ı had to reset my computer. even the task manager couldnot start. all are lost.

@RandomEngy

I'm having a problem with the AAC (FDK) encoder in 1.5.0.0 beta.
(When you update to the next beta with the latest HandBrake svn, I'll provide logs and test files if the problem persists).

In the meantime, here's my problem...
I edit videos in Corel VideoStudio then let VidCoder convert them to mp4.
I use WMP to play back using the DivX AAC Decoder & DivX H.264 Decoder. (Note that I've not had any problems playing back mp4's that are created with VidCoder to date via that configuration).

For VidCoder audio encoding section:
If I choose AAC (avcodec), the file plays back flawlessly (the same as if I use faac in 1.4.2.2).
If I choose AAC (FDK), the whole file file glitches (skips a couple of seconds) at the beginning.

I also tested with the current HandBrake nightly svn5596 and choose AAC (FDK), and the file plays back flawlessly (using WMP and DivX decoders).

I'll try again when the next beta is released to see if AAC (FDK) glitches playback.

Activity logs from the successful HandBrake encode and the unsuccessful VidCoder encode might show a difference that would helpful in tracking down the cause.

[mike20021969]

Activity logs from the successful HandBrake encode and the unsuccessful VidCoder encode might show a difference that would helpful in tracking down the cause.

Here you go (no point in waiting for next beta).
As the glitch only happens in the first couple of seconds*, I've encoded just the first 10 seconds. (Although no matter how long the video is, it's always the first couple of seconds* where the glitch happens).

Edit: *The first 6 seconds are skipped. Playback begins at 7 seconds.

That is really odd. It seems to have left out a lot of lines you'd normally expect in an encode log and it doesn't seem to be doing that for me when I try it.

[mike20021969]

That is really odd. It seems to have left out a lot of lines you'd normally expect in an encode log and it doesn't seem to be doing that for me when I try it.

Here's a SAMPLE video (and the preset I'm using if you need it):

http://www.4shared.com/zip/9yBdoiUm/SAMPLE.html

I'm wondering whether it's to do with the fact that there's silence/no audio in the first part of the video?

AAC (FDK) in HandBrake deals with that SAMPLE video properly, although VidCoder doesn't.

VidCoder beta 1.5.0.0 = glitch:

Hmm. I use that preset and encode the sample clip and I get a normal-looking log and it seems to encode the video just fine. Maybe try re-installing or trying the portable version?

[mike20021969]

Maybe try re-installing or trying the portable version?

Re-installing the beta didn't help. And the portable version showed the same error.

I'll stick with AAC (avcodec) in the meantime as this works flawlessly:

HE-AAC (FDK) also glitches for me aswell.

If you have any more suggestions for me to try, then just ask.

Thanks.

[RandomEngy]

One more thing: change your log verbosity from 0 to 1 and post a log.

These are a bit interesting:

[20:49:34] work: track 1, compression level not supported by codec
[20:49:34] work: track 1, quality mode not supported by codec

I've eliminated those warnings by providing the proper values for "not set". That's probably not it but who knows?

[mike20021969]

That's probably not it but who knows?

Fingers crossed here :)

[RandomEngy]

ı had to reset my computer. even the task manager couldnot start. all are lost.

Tried a long encode on 1.5.0 x64 portable and the memory never went above 600 MB... what settings were you using? Can you export the encoding profile?

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 1.5.1 Beta (https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/108730):

* Added French translation.
* Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5614.
* Fixed crash in locales with , as the decimal marker.
* Fixed a few warnings for compression level and quality on audio encodings.

[mike20021969]

Unfortunately, AAC (FDK) in 1.5.1.0 produces the same glitch:

[Pharaoh i7]

Thank you for the audio option of HE AAC is it possible to have the option to pick HE AAC v2

[RandomEngy]

Have to ask the HandBrake folks about that. I just expose what they give me.

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 1.5.2 Beta (https://vidcoder.codeplex.com/releases/view/108777):

* Fixed crash on presets with an invalid bitrate.

[mike20021969]

I've just installed the latest beta (although I don't think the change will fix this).

I made 3x 10 second videos.

1) Blue screen and no audio track (although I think a blank one has been added to the exported video).
2) Blue screen with audio starting at the 4 second mark until the end.
3) Blue screen with 10 second audio track muted.

Using AAC (FDK):
1) plays for the whole 10 seconds.
2) jumps to the 4 second mark and plays until the end.
3) plays for the whole 10 seconds

Here are the logs...

[Vilmalith]

On the latest Vidcoder's. What video settings is it using? I ask because I set advanced options and just noticed that handbrake forces you to disable the x264 settings section to be able to use the advanced video options.

In vidcoder there isn't an option to turn off the x264 settings section. And just for kicks today I ripped the same movie a couple times with vidcoder and with handbrake using the same settings. And the end result comes out subjectively better with handbrake.

So I'm assuming that vidcoder is using the x264 settings regardless of what you pick in the advanced tab?

[RandomEngy]

In VidCoder the advanced options string and the "extra options" string are the same. This isn't quite correct because the defaults for the settings can change based on different profiles, etc so at some point in the future I'll adopt HandBrake's either-or system. But if you're paying attention to the "extra options", if those are the same between HandBrake and VidCoder it should encode identically.

[Vilmalith]

The "extra options" string are the same. However, in Vidcoder the string is not changing anything that is set by a preset. Stuff that isn't part of the preset is being set to what I have in the string. So the rips do end up different in quality and size. Wishing I would have noticed this much much earlier, lol.
