Handbrake-powered VidCoder gets a native 64-bit version

by Lee Mathews on January 7, 2011 at 05:00 PM

A while back, VidCoder -- the Windows video disc ripping program -- added support for Blu-ray discs. With Handbrake's engine under the hood, VidCoder offers an easy-to-use interface and simple batch processing of your video files. With the release of version 0.8, there's also now a native 64-bit version for those of you running Windows x64. A number of stability tweaks have also been introduced.

As Baz pointed out in our comments last time, VidCoder is particular useful on netbooks. If you've got a 1024x600 screen, Handbrake may not even launch for you -- but VidCoder will fire up just fine. Take the new 64-bit version for a spin, and share your thoughts in the comments.

You know there are other x264 encoders out there besides Handbrake and Handbrake spin-offs. Most have had the features Handbrakes now advertises for much longer like Staxrip for instance

Supported Blu-ray's well before HB, even has WebM presets too.

I've tried VidCoder yesterday, couldn't figure out how to do quick batch encoding, so I found out "HandBrake Batch Encoder". Works pretty well, can tag m4v files, can do batch encoding really easily, has presets, it's basically just a GUI for the excellent Handbrake encoder. It can be found on this website: http://videoscripts.wordpress.com/.
