Created Release: 1.4.18 Beta (Apr 13, 2013)

RandomEngy — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 17:34:30 GMT

Added option to use in-process encoding (for a fallback until the last issues with the worker process are resolved).
Added extra logging to the encode worker handoff.
If we're unable to connect to the worker process we now kill it, reducing the chances of leaving a zombie process encoding away without the GUI knowing about it.
MP4 muxing errors (like the output file getting too big) are now shown as errors in the log and cause encodes to be marked as Failed.
Updated the Delete Source Files feature to work on disc folders as well as individual files.
Added the ability to automatically resume the queue when restarting VidCoder.

Created Release: 1.4.17 Beta (Mar 31, 2013)

RandomEngy — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:34:42 GMT

Fixed burned subtitles getting cut off by cropping.
Fixed crash on completion if sound alert is enabled and the user is running VidCoder.exe from a different directory.
Changed worker logging to use a temp file to reduce the chance of locking the SQLite file.
When applying an update, we now let the process exit naturally rather than calling Environment.Exit. (This is an attempt to fix a crash on updating)

Created Release: 1.4.16 Beta (Mar 23, 2013)

RandomEngy — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 18:36:55 GMT

Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5358. This fixes an issue with the scan progress going backward sometimes.
Added ability to tell VidCoder to look in a different directory for the .sqlite settings file. To do this you need to edit VidCoder.exe.config and VidCoderWorker.exe.config and follow the directions.

Fixed install detection and DVD playback for MPC-HC (Registry key was moved).
Increased worker process timeout to 20 seconds.

Updated Release: 1.4.15 Beta (Mar 10, 2013)

RandomEngy — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 18:22:07 GMT

Added a portable version! This packages up VidCoder as an .exe file that does not need to be installed. Be aware that it's not completely portable as you still need .NET 4 Client Profile on the computer for Windows versions earlier than 8.
"Open in containing folder" now selects the file as well.
Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5312.
We now have finer-grained scan progress (not just title-level).

Fixed behavior of switching off of modified, built-in preset. You can no longer do a phantom save on it.
Changed how VidCoder responds to the worker process failing to respond to a ping. It now needs a bit of extra evidence that the worker process has died before stopping the encode.

Big update to video range UI
- There's now a bar you can click to set the start and end: left click to set the start and right click to set the end.
- "Start Seconds" and "End Seconds" have been replaced with editable duration fields with the format 0:00:00 . Should no longer require math to actually set. :)
- Replaced Chapters queue column with Range queue column and made it work for all modes.
- Fixed logging for non-chapter ranges.
- Increased precision for title and chapter durations.
Added an option to set a custom video player.
Added ability to set the priority of the worker process.
Added a Windows Phone 8 preset.
Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5184. This adds 24-bit FLAC encoding.
Disabled 4:4:4 x264 profile as the Auto profile should cover this.
Changed number box to go back to (auto) when at minimum and pressing down.
Advanced UI now allows setting motion estimation range under Hexagon and Diamond modes.

Fixed a pipe naming issue that caused failures to contact the encoding process.
Fixed blurring on a few icons.
Fixed display of audio quality in queue when using Auto bitrate.
Fixed buggy deblock setting on Windows Phone 7 preset that was causing encodes to only use ~30% CPU.
