  • Voukoder Pro 2026

    2026.0.0 - 2025-09-15

    Release 2026-Beta1

    This is the first beta release of the new Voukoder Pro 2026 (or 3.0.0). I have decided to include the year to indicate it'll be an annual release.

    • Important! Don't use this version on a production system! This version may include various severe bugs! I hope to find all of them that's why I depend on your feedback. Please report any found bugs here. Please also report if everything is working for you.
    • You also need to update your FFmpeg version to version 8.x (L)GPL shared. The older version 7.x will not work anymore! Links are below this post.
    • Voukoder Pro 2026 is not designed to run in parallel with Voukoder Pro 2. It's another good reason to run it on a different system and not on your production system.
    • The macOS version still has some issues that I'm currently working on. I'll drop it asap.
    • To use the GPU encoding features update to the latest drivers.

    VEGAS Pro 23 will be supported with the Voukoder Pro 3 version.
