VidCoder: Alternative HandBrake GUI for Windows

[RandomEngy]

I stand corrected! Maybe I will implement then.

[buffalofloyd]

HandBrake has a "pad" filter that can do this. None of the current HandBrake GUIs provide an interface for this yet (CLI only), but BradleyS has been designing a UI paradigm that we plan to eventually implement. He has some very good ideas and has mocked it up with a little web app so you can see it in action.

Very interesting, thank you for that clarification!

I stand corrected! Maybe I will implement then.

Sounds wonderful, I look forward to the implementation when you get to it!!!

Cheers and thanks again :thanks:

Released VidCoder 2.30 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.30-beta):


Updated to keep source video chapter names if they are present.
Changed the user preset JSON serialization to happen on a background thread so changing encoding settings is faster.
Changed log window to only scroll to the bottom on new logs if we were already at the bottom, so it doesn't pop you out if you scrolled away to look at something earlier in the log.
Updated translations.
Updated HandBrake core.
Updated version string to only display Major.Minor.
Added logging to the target size calculation and refactored loggers to work better in the worker process.

Hello RandomEngy

Being able to set a cpu level is an unique feature of Vidcoder.
I think it was originally under processes with a slider.

There appears to be a change to a drop down dialog of Priority High. Normal and Low.

Can you give a confirmation of that in the current release and how I can set the priority low to run in the background.

A screen shot would be best.

[loninappleton]

Please respond to how to install libdvdcss.

I have used a guide for the process to install to Handbrake.

Vidcoder shows a different option at:

tools > options > advanced > enable DXVA [checkbox]

rather than [checkbox] use libdvdnav (instead of libdvdread)

It's confusing to me as a novice user.

Following up on my own post I see that earlier Vidcoder does not respond well with libdvdcss or produces an error.

That was a while back, any progress on it with more recent work with Handbrake?

[RandomEngy]

I've never gotten libdvdcss to work with VidCoder. I'd recommend a different program to remove copy protection. The slider you are talking about is CPU throttling and that limits the number of cores the process can run on. That's different than the process priority. Generally lowering the priority should work fine unless your system overheats at 100% CPU.

Released VidCoder 2.31 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.31-beta):


Fixed install detection for VLC and MPC-HC.
Updated HandBrake core.
Made picker changes to output directory and naming format apply immdiately.
Fixed crash when the remote process can't find the specified title to encode.
Added proper assembly title and icon to the worker process.
Fixed issue that could prevent a new picker from being created when editing the "None" picker.

Trying to install the latest beta x64 version in Windows 10, it is blocked by Microsoft "SmartScreen" filter.

The stable version installs OK.

Trying to install the latest beta x64 version in Windows 10, it is blocked by Microsoft "SmartScreen" filter.

The stable version installs OK.

It's not actually blocked, just a warning that the file is barely known yet among Windows users - which is logical, as the update has just been released. Just click the 'more info' button, then you'll have the option to run it anyway.

As soon as enough users have done this, other users will not get the SmartScreen popup anymore.

[RocketJet]

Yes, that worked. Thanks.

[RandomEngy]

I could shell out to Verisign for a code signing certificate that would prevent that but it's out of the range of money I'm willing to spend for a free project.

Really not necessary. Just add some info to your website about that pop-up explaining why & how. That should be enough for people who aren't familiar with that pop-up.

[CommonMortal]

Hello, unfortunately i have little time to explain better, because i am leaving for vacation. But, the stable version as well as the beta 2.31 have the same problem with trueHD. I was getting no audio, while the stable Handbrake, it encodes the audio. I tried both ac3 2ch and AAC 2ch and VidCoder gives no audio. Happy vacations everyone!

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 2.32 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.32-beta):


Updated HandBrake core. This should fix QSV encoding.
Added error handling for a missing custom video player.
Added protection for crash when messagebox owner window can't be found.
Removed extra logging of JSON encode object and got rid of empty lines there.

[drizzit]

First of all thank you very much for the brilliant program RandomEngy! :thanks:

A couple questions about x265, is it possible to manually update the version used? And is it possible to see the version included somewhere?

The only reference to a version I can find is in the logfiles where it say "HEVC encoder version 1.9" but I'm not sure if this means the first version of 1.9 exactly or any of the later releases?
I would love to try out the new 2.0 branch but judging from the above I guess handbrake still havent updated to that version?
I might just fail at finding the information but even with the nightly version number in vidcoders help menu I cant actually find what versions they are using.... any tips are welcome :confused:

Thank you for your time :)

[RandomEngy]

It looks like they grab the source from here:

X265.FETCH.url = http://download.handbrake.fr/contrib/x265_1.9.tar.gz
X265.FETCH.url += https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x265/x265_1.9.tar.gz

So looks like 1.9 .

[drizzit]

Figured that was the case, thank you very much for the confirmation.

But I take it thats a no on being able to manually update then? Figured it was worth asking atleast :)

[RandomEngy]

No, it's something that's compiled into hb.dll. The HandBrake devs normally integrate these library updates.

[drizzit]

Ok will just have to wait then, thank you very much for the replys and keep up the great work :)

Released VidCoder 2.33 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.33-beta):


Updated HandBrake core to bring in new Opus audio codec.
Fixed crash from UnauthorizedAcessException when trying to delete a DVD folder.
Fixed crash when trying to play a missing video file.
Fixed issue where "Open Containing Folder" didn't work on paths over 120 characters long.
Fixed custom denoise box not appearing.
Updated Spanish and Russian translations.

[Przemek_Sperling]

Thanks, but I have some problems with Opus audio encoding. I tried to convert "Whiplash" and I can convert it to stereo. No 5.1 is possible, The source DVD, of course, comtains 5.1 tracks.

BTW, it is incredible how small AND GOOD x.265 + Opus files can be!

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 2.34 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.34-beta):


Updated HandBrake core to fix crashing issue on some encodes.


So that's why my PC crashed a few days ago, almost when the encode was finished :P

[Przemek_Sperling]

Everything works with flying colours, Opus 5.1 encodes can be done without any problems. Thanks!

[Przemek_Sperling]

I converted some DVDs (around 40 of them) for my friend who has no coding knowledge. Do not afraid, it is allowed in Poland (fair use), moreover most DVDs are her, but she has no standalone DVD but she has a smart TV so she can connect an external HDD.

Anyway, I used HEVC and almost all encodings were very good. I have problems with two of them and I would like to ask if anyone has ever had similar to mine.

“Inside Llewyn Davies” – the video shows strong banding, moreover, the file is exceptionally small. The quality of the video is so-so. I coded everything as x265, quality 18, ultrafast. English (all the movies are English spoken and my friend understands written English) and Polish subtitles. Most encodings are 1.0 -1.6 gigabytes in size. This one is around 600 megabytes. What wonders me the movie shows banding and almost does not increase the size if the quality is set to 16 or even 14 (I know, madness!). It decreases a bit if use another settings like superfast or veryfast The quality is always rather not satisfactory.

“Beetlejuice” – the original DVD contains a lot of subtitles, I think 25 or so (all of them shown by my standalone player). VidCoder shows only 7 of them – two English, two German, one French, one Italian, one Spanish. MakeMKV shows all of them so I made an mkv file (MPEG-2, English and Polish subs only) with the program and coded it with VidCoder (mkv, HEVC, AC3). The result is as it should be.

Is anyone who experienced similar problems? Just in case I can serve with logs (or whatever you want) after weekend.

PS I use the latest beta.

Released VidCoder 2.35 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.35-beta):


Overhauled sizing UI:
* Added padding support
* Streamlined UI: No longer can specify both Width and Max Width, simply a checkbox to allow Anamorphic support, Custom Anamorphic gone in favor of Manual sizing
* Moved rotation to Sizing tab
* Renamed tabs Picture -> Sizing, Video -> Video Encoding
* Removed Pixel Aspect Ratio information in input/output preview boxes if PAR is 1:1.
* Sections within Sizing tab now wrap dynamically, supporting more window sizes.
Updated HandBrake core.
Fixed issue where fallback encoder wasn't respected in some cases for auto-passthrough.
Updated installer to download .NET Framework 4.6.2 when it is not installed already.
Updated handling of invalid filter settings to drop the filter and log an informative error message instead of failing the encode.


Warning: The sizing settings on user presets may have been altered, you may want to check them out to make sure they are still the way you want them.

[Slitheen]

What's this scaling mode option about. Sometimes I scale up material, do I need to check this box?

Thank you very very much for adding the padding feature, which kind of works like uncropMKV. I'm a little confused by it but I'm going to keep experimenting and see if I can get the hang of it. Thanks again :thanks:

[RandomEngy]

If you want to scale up material, you should choose scale up/down and then specify the size you want to scale to. If you leave it on Downscale only it will just try to preserve the source resolution.

Though usually it's better to leave it on Downscale only and let the player do the upscaling. That makes the video smaller without any loss of quality.

[RandomEngy]

Released VidCoder 2.36 Beta (https://github.com/RandomEngy/VidCoder/releases/tag/v2.36-beta):


Added tooltips to the custom filter settings boxes that list the possible keys.
Custom filter settings boxes now auto-populate with default settings.
Gave more room for the custom filters boxes and improved line breaking for multi-line boxes, since key names are now required.
Updated HandBrake core.
Fixed crash when changing scaling mode with video loaded.
Fixed encoding failure on videos with non-square PAR and Anamorphic disabled.

As you can see my source i failing, its not because its a bad source, but because the source is located on a Network NAS and if it gets to high load and cant serve data quick enough or the connection is broken for just a single second it crash, but for some reason it return a good "Job completed" event though there is a read error. Is there anyway to do a frame count check on the source and result reported, I have marked the 2 lines (Green) with the expected frame rate and the encoded framerate and there if they are equel within a range of like 100 frames, then I will presume the encoding wasnt interrupted.

This looks like a problem with HandBrake's status reporting. It should tell me that the encode failed but it looks like it's reporting success.

[CommonMortal]

Hello, i would like to ask one thing. Do you think there will be a stable release again? Thank you.

[RandomEngy]

Yes, very soon. HandBrake 1.0.0 was just released and I'll have a stable version of VidCoder on top of that.

[CommonMortal]

Yes, very soon. HandBrake 1.0.0 was just released and I'll have a stable version of VidCoder on top of that.

Oh, thank you, thank you!

[RandomEngy]

Err, I should say in about a week. I need to give the translators the final call to get updated strings for the stable release.

[Pulp Catalyst]

Hi,

Great way to end the year that we have the 1.0 release of Handbrake..

but was disappointed that they did not manage to port a good de-interlacer over...yes we have the BOB, but seriously... this is a very old technique and really is a bad way to go in my opinion.

i was hoping for NNEDI3 combined with yadif mod or something similar....it's fast but incredibly good for the speed. but nothing ported over yet

However....that's not for here, what i wanted to say, could you add auto save feature... meaning if the Vidcoder ever crashes for what ever reason, it will always have a recoverable playlist to get back to.

could be good when adding a lot of batch encode jobs, only to have Vidcoder crash.... then loose all those added jobs.

.....

do we have auto rotate yet? detect the META rotate information found in many encodes done by mobiles, and make the necessary change to the rotation before doing the encode>

:p

[RandomEngy]

It *should* already automatically save the queue. Each time you add to it, it saves to the database and should come back on the next launch. As for auto-rotate and the deinterlacer, those would need to be supported in the HandBrake library.

[RandomEngy]
