The VidCoder application was developed to be a DVD ripping and video transcoding program for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine.
Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI.

What's New in This Release:
· Overhauled the Options dialog: Made it cleaner and better organized.
· Added an Updates tab with more detailed status and the ability to manually check for updates.
· Added a menu option and button to close the current video source and get the initial "pick source" UI back.
· Disc folders can now be batch-added with drag and drop in the same way that ISOs can be.
· Added a menu item under Help to get to the Updates section of Options.
· Added a hotkey for Options (F4).
· Updated Android presets to bring them in line with HB presets.
· Removed checkbox for Zero Latency tune as it does not help on these encodes.
· Updated HandBrake core to SVN 5125.
· Made changes to help diagnose reported encode proxy issues: Increased worker ping timeout.
· Added exception logging on ping timeouts.
· Increased worker process priority. The worker threads themselves already have lower priority.
· Fixed memory leak from scan instances.
· Fixed issue where only lowercase extensions would be recognized when queuing up...
