Complete Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New for Nmkoder
Nmkoder 1.10.0 - The biggest update yet!
Changes:
Binaries: Updated aomenc (blueswordm 02/26)
File Import: Better stability, worked around cases where Nmkoder would freeze when importing image sequences
Added a bunch of additional color formats (e.g. HEVC NVENC can now encode 10-bit)
Added a list where the user can add custom ffmpeg filters (both in Quick Convert and AV1AN)
Quick Encode: Subtitle burn-in now also works for bitmap-based (PGS/VobSub/etc) subtitles (previously only text-based subs worked)
AV1AN: Fixed SVT advanced args not working
AV1AN: Nmkoder will now mux a text attachment into the encoded MKVs containing the encoder and arguments used
AV1AN: Fixed x265 10-bit not working
AV1AN: Max chunk size (extra cuts) now match with auto-detected GOP size (fps*10 with a limit of 480)
Quick Convert: Added trimming tool to set start and end time (or frame numbers) for encoding
Quick Convert: Target filesize mode now correctly accounts for all audio streams and their channel counts
Track List: Track descriptions are now better formated, more uniform, and codec names have aliases (e.g. hdmv_pgs_subtitle is now just PGS)
Track List: Added button to extract attachments (only visible if an attachment track is selected)
Track List: The default audio/subtitle track dropdowns now correctly load the actual default tracks (if the input files has them set)
Pixel formats now have more human-readable formatting (e.g. YUV420P10LE is now displayed as "YUV - 4:2:0 - 10 bit")
Fixed color space typo (bt601 was written as bt610)
Color Transfer Util: Fixed HDR metadata transfer not transferring white color coordinates
Color Transfer Util: Fixed some issues where the data of an attachment would be used instead of the video stream
Auto-Crop: Adjusted cropdetect command to avoid rare freeze problems and improve reliability
Metrics Util: If the encoded video was resized, it will always be scaled to the res of the reference size instead of the other way
UI/UX: Show a warning if any of the imported input files are no longer available at their original path
UI/UX: Message boxes no longer pop up in the background and no longer hide the main windows after clicking on them (in some cases)
UI/UX: Nmkoder will no longer try to generate thumbnails from files that don't have a video stream (e.g. audio files)
UI/UX: Changing audio channels no longer resets the bitrate input
UI/UX: You can now select which settings will be reset when opening a new file (trim, crop, custom args, ...)
UI/UX: Added link buttons
Fixed EAC3 option actually using AAC
Other minor fixes and improvements
Nmkoder 1.9.1f1 - Fixes and UX improvements
Changes:
Track List: Added button to sort tracks and reorder them by either language, title, or codec
Track List: Now shows nicer aliases for codec names (e.g. hdmv_pgs_subtitle => PGS) and language codes (e.g. fra => French)
Track List: Now shows more details (e.g. MIME Type) for MKV attachments
AV1AN: Added 10-second wait after finishing before closing the console window in case there's an error that would otherwise instantly close the window
AV1AN: Fixed chunk order option not actually being applied
AV1AN: Fixed advanced arguments not being used for SVT-AV1 and x265
AV1AN: Fixed videos with "bt2020 10-bit" colors not working with aomenc
Metrics Util: Progress bar and ffmpeg stats are now correct as they no longer use a fixed frame rate
Quick Convert: Fixed CRF 0 not being lossless for x264 (10-bit) and x265
UX: Dropped files are ignored if Nmkoder is busy
UX: Added internal process management code which avoids some issues where multiple encodes could run at the same time, causing problems
Metadata Editor: Fixed a rather unhandled exception that would be thrown if a new file was loaded while editing a cell
Fixed a rare bug where Nmkoder would detect media streams that weren't actually there
Removed unreliable subtitle OCR utility (use SubtitleEdit instead if you want to do OCR manually)
Additional Changes - Hotfix 1:
Fixed default config values not being loaded correctly
Fixed SVT-AV1 advanced args not using correct syntax
Known Issues:
AV1AN: Target VMAF mode may not work with SVT-AV1

@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.9.0
a68e31b
Nmkoder 1.9.0 - New SVT version, even better aomenc encoding, automatic HDR args
Changes:
AV1AN: Updated SVT-AV1 to 0.9.0, presets 11 and 12 can now be selected in the UI (only -1, -2, and 13 are hidden now)
AV1AN: Added "Advanced" tab where you can set advanced arguments for each encoder, loaded from a JSON (Nmkoder/data/encoderArgs)

AV1AN: Updated aomenc build (https://github.com/BlueSwordM/aom-av1-psy) and improved default parameters for better quality
Minor UI fixes
Known Issues:
AV1AN: HDR args won't be applied to VPX (I did not find proper docs on this), but why would you encode HDR with VP9 anyway?

Jan 16, 2022
@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.8.1
5f2c7ea
Nmkoder 1.8.1 - Lots of fixes
Changes:
AV1AN: Updated build and integrated the new chunk order option into GUI
AV1AN: If the output directory does not exist, Nmkoder will try to create it before starting av1an
Track List: Added two new track selection options: "First Track Of Each Type", "First Track Of Each Language Per Type"
Track List: Fixed a bug where removing the first file would remove all streams, including those from other input files
Track List: Fixed multi-second freeze when loading a file with many streams
Batch processing: Fixed an issue where all input files are passed to ffmpeg even though only the first one is used
Batch processing: Fixed incorrect file mapping arguments
Batch processing: Clicking the stop button now actually cancels the queue instead of just killing the current process and continuing
Batch processing: Fixed track list not being cleared after switching from muxing mode
Batch processing: Fixed audio args not being applied, causing ffmpeg to use defaults or erroring (libopus, ...)
AV1/VP9 encoding: Fixed automatic tiling arguments not being uniform across all encoders
SVT-AV1: Disabled auto-tiling as it does not seem to provide speed improvement with the current encoder builds
Metadata: Fixed file titled not being saved/loaded correctly after editing it
Metadata: Fixed metadata grid not being reloaded after changing track selection in some cases
Color Data Transfer util: Fixed incorrect cast breaking the configuration window
Error Handling: All ffmpeg errors are now shown with a message box that also shows the last 4 log lines for context
UI: File Import window can now be canceled/closed with Escape
UI: Minor text fixes, min/max range fixes for certain numeric inputs
UI: Fixed pause/resume button style not being reset when starting a new task
UI: Disabled settings tab for now as it's more or less unused at the moment

Nmkoder 1.8.0 - SVT update, EAC3 audio, manual cropping, UX goodies
Dec 30, 2021
@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.8.0
b454a76
Nmkoder 1.8.0 - SVT update, EAC3 audio, manual cropping, UX goodies
Changes:
File List: Cleaner and more intuitive UI, each file added after the first one now gets a random color for easier muxing (similar to MKVToolNix)
Added suspend/resume functionality to pause button. May not work for av1an! Stop and resume instead.
Added manual cropping option (Note: Does not work for batch processing for now)
Audio: Added E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus) to list of audio codecs
AV1AN: Temp folder will now always be deleted when ran in batch mode (in 1.7.0 this popup would stop batch processing from continuing)
AV1AN: Updated SVT-AV1 encoder to 0.8.8-rc2 (commit 71235577), added two faster presets (9 and 10) to UI
Quick Convert: Disable codec<>container compatibility check, as hardcoding it is a hassle and ffmpeg's error will be handled anyway
Internal: Nmkoder now keeps track of its child processes and kills them on exit to avoid orphan processes. Closing Nmkoder while holding the Shift key gives you the option to disable this (e.g. if you want to quit Nmkoder but keep av1an running in cmd)
Fixed bug where the user was asked twice to input a frame rate for each imported image sequence
Fixed Metrics util not working with image sequences
Various minor UI/UX improvements, renamed "Multi File Mode" to "Muxing Mode"
Notes:
Using Preset 11 and 12 of SVT-AV1 is possible by overriding the command (hold Shift when clicking Start) but these presets are intentionally not included in the UI (similar to how Nmkoder does not offer "placebo" mode for x264/x265) as they are are simply not worth it in most cases, especially since 8-10 are already very fast.

Changes:
The ffmpeg/av1an command that's about to run can now be edited by holding Shift when clicking on "Start"
Metadata grid is now persistent as long as the file isn't changed (no longer gets cleared if stream selection/order changed)
Files in the File List can now be double-clicked to load their streams into the track list (same as the button but faster)
Fixed GIF not using .gif extension and not having the correct default quality value
Fixed disposition (default stream) arguments not being applied if metadata is set to Strip All

Added Metrics Util: Calculate VMAF (1080p or 4K), SSIM, or PSNR, optionally crop and/or scale to match reference video
Added "Convert Bitmap Subtitles To Text" util which can convert PGS/VOB to SRT using SubtitleEdit + multithreaded Tesseract OCR
Updated file import UI, now shows a dialog window where the files are previewed and can be (un)checked
Track List: Details box now shows which file a stream was loaded from (useful when muxing each stream from a separate file)
Misc encoder efficiency improvements when used with av1an (limit svt-av1 threads per instance, set minimum keyint for aom, ...)
Fixed re-ordering streams resulting in incorrect stream mapping
Fixed re-ordering streams not updating the metadata editor with the new order
Fixed GIF, PNG, JPEG not having their respective file extension added to the output path
Known Issues:
Target bitrate/quality does not work for NVENC
When target bitrate/quality is selected, switching encoders will fill the bitrate/size box with the default CRF

Nmkoder 1.3.0 - Av1an, stream re-ordering, default stream selection, more Pre-release
Changes:
An almost complete AV1AN integration for fast chunked AV1/VP9/H265 encoding. Currently supports aom, svt-av1, vpxenc, x265
Added dropdowns to select the default audio/subtitle streams (with an option to disable subs by default)
Added buttons to re-order streams when for remuxing/encoding
Crop Detection is now significantly more accurate and should no longer use invalid values
Track List improvements: DTS/DTS-HD MA are now correctly displayed (not both as "DTS"), language tags on audio streams are shown
Various UI/UX improvements
This tool is still a work in progress - Expect bugs and unfinished stuff!
AV1AN notes:
All dependencies (encoder binaries, vapoursynth) are included portably.
Due to the way the CLI was written, it is not possible to get the exact encoding progress - Nmkoder can only display the amount of finished chunks. This might change in the future.
If you notice very high disk usage (>500mb/s) during encoding, try using the same drive for the input file and Nmkoder itself

Start ff-utils-winforms.exe
Changes:
Binaries: Updated aomenc (blueswordm 02/26)
File Import: Better stability, worked around cases where Nmkoder would freeze when importing image sequences
Added a bunch of additional color formats (e.g. HEVC NVENC can now encode 10-bit)
Added a list where the user can add custom ffmpeg filters (both in Quick Convert and AV1AN)
Quick Encode: Subtitle burn-in now also works for bitmap-based (PGS/VobSub/etc) subtitles (previously only text-based subs worked)

Quick Convert: Added trimming tool to set start and end time (or frame numbers) for encoding
Quick Convert: Target filesize mode now correctly accounts for all audio streams and their channel counts
Track List: Track descriptions are now better formated, more uniform, and codec names have aliases (e.g. hdmv_pgs_subtitle is now just PGS)
Track List: Added button to extract attachments (only visible if an attachment track is selected)
Track List: The default audio/subtitle track dropdowns now correctly load the actual default tracks (if the input files has them set)
Pixel formats now have more human-readable formatting (e.g. YUV420P10LE is now displayed as "YUV - 4:2:0 - 10 bit")
Fixed color space typo (bt601 was written as bt610)
Color Transfer Util: Fixed HDR metadata transfer not transferring white color coordinates
Color Transfer Util: Fixed some issues where the data of an attachment would be used instead of the video stream
Auto-Crop: Adjusted cropdetect command to avoid rare freeze problems and improve reliability
Metrics Util: If the encoded video was resized, it will always be scaled to the res of the reference size instead of the other way
UI/UX: Show a warning if any of the imported input files are no longer available at their original path
UI/UX: Message boxes no longer pop up in the background and no longer hide the main windows after clicking on them (in some cases)
UI/UX: Nmkoder will no longer try to generate thumbnails from files that don't have a video stream (e.g. audio files)
UI/UX: Changing audio channels no longer resets the bitrate input
UI/UX: You can now select which settings will be reset when opening a new file (trim, crop, custom args, ...)
UI/UX: Added link buttons

AV1AN: Fixed advanced arguments not being used for SVT-AV1 and x265
AV1AN: Fixed videos with "bt2020 10-bit" colors not working with aomenc
Metrics Util: Progress bar and ffmpeg stats are now correct as they no longer use a fixed frame rate
Quick Convert: Fixed CRF 0 not being lossless for x264 (10-bit) and x265
UX: Dropped files are ignored if Nmkoder is busy
UX: Added internal process management code which avoids some issues where multiple encodes could run at the same time, causing problems
Metadata Editor: Fixed a rather unhandled exception that would be thrown if a new file was loaded while editing a cell
Fixed a rare bug where Nmkoder would detect media streams that weren't actually there
Removed unreliable subtitle OCR utility (use SubtitleEdit instead if you want to do OCR manually)
Additional Changes - Hotfix 1:
Fixed default config values not being loaded correctly

AV1AN: Updated aomenc build (https://github.com/BlueSwordM/aom-av1-psy) and improved default parameters for better quality
Minor UI fixes
Known Issues:
AV1AN: HDR args won't be applied to VPX (I did not find proper docs on this), but why would you encode HDR with VP9 anyway?

Jan 16, 2022
@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.8.1
5f2c7ea
Nmkoder 1.8.1 - Lots of fixes
Changes:
AV1AN: Updated build and integrated the new chunk order option into GUI
AV1AN: If the output directory does not exist, Nmkoder will try to create it before starting av1an
Track List: Added two new track selection options: "First Track Of Each Type", "First Track Of Each Language Per Type"
Track List: Fixed a bug where removing the first file would remove all streams, including those from other input files
Track List: Fixed multi-second freeze when loading a file with many streams
Batch processing: Fixed an issue where all input files are passed to ffmpeg even though only the first one is used
Batch processing: Fixed incorrect file mapping arguments
Batch processing: Clicking the stop button now actually cancels the queue instead of just killing the current process and continuing
Batch processing: Fixed track list not being cleared after switching from muxing mode
Batch processing: Fixed audio args not being applied, causing ffmpeg to use defaults or erroring (libopus, ...)
AV1/VP9 encoding: Fixed automatic tiling arguments not being uniform across all encoders
SVT-AV1: Disabled auto-tiling as it does not seem to provide speed improvement with the current encoder builds
Metadata: Fixed file titled not being saved/loaded correctly after editing it
Metadata: Fixed metadata grid not being reloaded after changing track selection in some cases
Color Data Transfer util: Fixed incorrect cast breaking the configuration window
Error Handling: All ffmpeg errors are now shown with a message box that also shows the last 4 log lines for context
UI: File Import window can now be canceled/closed with Escape
UI: Minor text fixes, min/max range fixes for certain numeric inputs
UI: Fixed pause/resume button style not being reset when starting a new task
UI: Disabled settings tab for now as it's more or less unused at the moment

Nmkoder 1.8.0 - SVT update, EAC3 audio, manual cropping, UX goodies
Dec 30, 2021
@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.8.0
b454a76
Nmkoder 1.8.0 - SVT update, EAC3 audio, manual cropping, UX goodies
Changes:
File List: Cleaner and more intuitive UI, each file added after the first one now gets a random color for easier muxing (similar to MKVToolNix)
Added suspend/resume functionality to pause button. May not work for av1an! Stop and resume instead.
Added manual cropping option (Note: Does not work for batch processing for now)
Audio: Added E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus) to list of audio codecs
AV1AN: Temp folder will now always be deleted when ran in batch mode (in 1.7.0 this popup would stop batch processing from continuing)
AV1AN: Updated SVT-AV1 encoder to 0.8.8-rc2 (commit 71235577), added two faster presets (9 and 10) to UI
Quick Convert: Disable codec<>container compatibility check, as hardcoding it is a hassle and ffmpeg's error will be handled anyway
Internal: Nmkoder now keeps track of its child processes and kills them on exit to avoid orphan processes. Closing Nmkoder while holding the Shift key gives you the option to disable this (e.g. if you want to quit Nmkoder but keep av1an running in cmd)
Fixed bug where the user was asked twice to input a frame rate for each imported image sequence
Fixed Metrics util not working with image sequences
Various minor UI/UX improvements, renamed "Multi File Mode" to "Muxing Mode"
Notes:
Using Preset 11 and 12 of SVT-AV1 is possible by overriding the command (hold Shift when clicking Start) but these presets are intentionally not included in the UI (similar to how Nmkoder does not offer "placebo" mode for x264/x265) as they are are simply not worth it in most cases, especially since 8-10 are already very fast.

Nmkoder 1.3.0 - Av1an, stream re-ordering, default stream selection, more Pre-release
Changes:
An almost complete AV1AN integration for fast chunked AV1/VP9/H265 encoding. Currently supports aom, svt-av1, vpxenc, x265
Added dropdowns to select the default audio/subtitle streams (with an option to disable subs by default)
Added buttons to re-order streams when for remuxing/encoding
Crop Detection is now significantly more accurate and should no longer use invalid values
Track List improvements: DTS/DTS-HD MA are now correctly displayed (not both as "DTS"), language tags on audio streams are shown
Various UI/UX improvements
This tool is still a work in progress - Expect bugs and unfinished stuff!
AV1AN notes:
All dependencies (encoder binaries, vapoursynth) are included portably.
Due to the way the CLI was written, it is not possible to get the exact encoding progress - Nmkoder can only display the amount of finished chunks. This might change in the future.
If you notice very high disk usage (>500mb/s) during encoding, try using the same drive for the input file and Nmkoder itself

@n00mkrad n00mkrad
v1.2.0
8665082
NMKODER 1.2.0 - NVENC, more audio formats, fewer bugs, new utils Pre-release
Changes:
Added h264 (NVIDIA NVENC) and h265 (NVIDIA NVENC) to video codecs
Added MP3 and FLAC to audio codecs
Added support for loading images sequences (treated like a video input)
Added support for handling attachment streams (e.g. fonts embedded in MKV)
Added Utilities page (very unfinished, and the "Create Video From Frames" option does nothing at the moment)
Added util "Read Bitrates and Stream Sizes"
Added option to run the current action instantly once a new file is dropped (experimental)
Improved automatic cropping (detection is now more reliable and won't clamp 1080p to 1072p)
Metadata editor now works for streams from all files, not just first
Improved error handling
Fixed language tags not getting set for video and audio streams, only subtitles
Fixed problems with thumbnail loading
UI/UX improvements
This tool is still a work in progress - Expect bugs and unfinished stuff!

NMKODER - 1.1.0 - WIP BUILD Pre-release
NMKODER is the natural evolution of ff-utils.
Currently, the quick tools (like extracting frames) have been removed, as I have focused on the encoding/muxing functionality, but they will come back soon, as simple as they were in ff-utils.
Changes:
File handling UI/UX improvements, new files can now be added without clearing the existing ones
Custom Arguments are now split into input (e.g. -ss for fast seeking) and output args
Added support for scanning & muxing attachment streams (e.g. MKV fonts)
Added option to toggle MP4 Web Optimization (-movflags +faststart)
Optimized stream scanning, is now >5x faster
SVT-AV1 now auto-sets the keyframe interval to FPS*8 by default
Other fixes and improvements
This revamp is still a work in progress - Expect bugs and unfinished stuff!

NMKODER - 1.0.0 - EARLY TEST BUILD Pre-release
NMKODER is the natural evolution of ff-utils.
Currently, the quick tools (like extracting frames) have been removed, as I have focused on the encoding/muxing functionality, but they will come back soon, as simple as they were in ff-utils.
Features:
Two Modes for handling multiple input files - Multi-File: Mux/encode from multiple files, for example, one file with a video stream and two audio streams in separate files. Batch Processing: This mode will apply the chosen action to all files in the list.
Encoding: H264, H265, VP9, AV1 video, AAC, Opus audio, various subtitle formats
Set encoder quality, preset, color space
Option to change (resample) frame rate
Resizing options (also allows percentages and keeping the original aspect ratio)
Automatic cropping
Muxing: Ability to copy any media streams from any amount of files into a MP4/MKV/WEBM/MOV container
Metadata: Copy or remove all metadata, edit titles and language tags for each file/track
Custom arguments: Input custom output arguments that are passed to ffmpeg
This revamp is still a work in progress - Expect bugs and unfinished stuff!
