Changes between 0.9.9 and 0.10
Core
- - Intel QuickSync Video Encode / Decode support.
+ - Intel QuickSync Video Encode / Decode support. (Beta)
Windows only currently. We hope to bring this to Linux user in the future.
- DXVA Hardware Decode support (Experimental)
Windows Only.
- Presets
Added Windows Phone 8 Preset
- Updated Libraries
- x264 r2431-ac76440
+ x264 r2479-dd79a61
Libav v10.1
libbluray 0.5.0
- Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv
This FDK option is a temporary measure until the LibAV encoder improves.
Note that FDK-AAC is much slower and will likely bottleneck the encode process, but will produce better quality audio.
- H.265 encoder
- Using x265 v1.3
+ Using x265 v1.4
This encoder is still early in it's development, so is missing many H.265 features and optimisations.
- Added VP8 Encoder (using libvpx)
Available in MKV files only.
- The 32bit build of the application is now considered deprecated. This is due to 32bit process memory limitations.
Mac
- - Build system updates to compiled under OS X 10.9
+ - Build system updates to compiled under OS X 10.9 / 10.10
- Automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviours which can be stored per preset.
- Improvements to Auto-Naming feature.
- Misc UI enhancements.

+Changes between 0.9.9 and 0.10
+
+ Core
+ - Intel QuickSync Video Encode / Decode support. (Beta)
+ Windows only currently. We hope to bring this to Linux user in the future.
+ - DXVA Hardware Decode support (Experimental)
+ Windows Only.
+ Suitable only for slower machines so disabled in preferences by default.
+ - Choice of Scalers
+ Lanczos
+ HandBrakes? default scaler.
+ Bicubic (OpenCL) (Experimental)
+ Available on the Command Line (All Platforms) and Windows GUI. (Mac / Linux GUI's will come in a later release)
+ Currently only available in OpenCL form so requires a AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later. Nvidia GPU's are not currently supported.
+ When downscaling, up to 5% performance improvement can be achieved. No benefit when not downscaling.
+ Small loss in quality over the Lanczos scaler.
+ - Denoise
+ hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for both chroma channels (Cr, Cb)
+ New NlMeans? denoiser. This is very slow, but results are significantly better than hqdn3d.
+ - Presets
+ Added Windows Phone 8 Preset
+ - Updated Libraries
+ x264 r2479-dd79a61
+ Libav v10.1
+ libbluray 0.5.0
+ - Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv
+ "Large File Size" checkbox has now bee removed for mp4, as the new muxer will transition to 64bit files automatically.
+ mpeg2dec has also been replaced in favour of using libav
+ - The LibAV AAC encoder is now the default as FAAC has been removed.
+ This encoder is adequate for most, but until it improves a bit further, we have enabled support for the FDK-AAC encoder also.
+ This FDK option is a temporary measure until the LibAV encoder improves.
+ Note that FDK-AAC is much slower and will likely bottleneck the encode process, but will produce better quality audio.
+ - H.265 encoder
+ Using x265 v1.4
+ This encoder is still early in it's development, so is missing many H.265 features and optimisations.
+ - Added VP8 Encoder (using libvpx)
+ Available in MKV files only.
+ - Removed mcdeint deinterlace and decomb modes. This relied on the snow encoder in libav which has been was removed by upstream.
