    Version 1.0 is coming soon! This version 0.9 is more or less a release candidate and I won't add any new features to it until we have reached 1.0. Please test everything, especially the new encoders. Please also re-test any existing bugs that you might have reported. Let's try to find and fix as many bugs as possible.

    • Added WEBM container / muxer
    • Fixed 2pass encoding bug for users not having local admin rights

    The next step is Voukoder 2.0 and i have some really coll ideas already. But these ideas take time and your support, so please consider donating or becoming a patron on https://www.patreon.com/voukoder .

  • Released Voukoder 0.8.1

    Welcome to a new Voukoder release! Lots of stuff has happened since the last time.

    IMPORTANT: YOU MIGHT HAVE TO FLUSH YOUR PARAMETER CACHE AFTER UPDATING! SEE:

    => Installation, Updates and Deinstallation <=

    Changes:

    • Added 2pass encoding to x264 encoder.
    • Added filesize estimation where possible i.e. for encoders using CBR, ABR or VBR (does not work for CQP or CRF)
    • Voukoder checks for updates on startup and informs the user if an update is available.
    • Added the full bunch of the advanced x265 parameters.
    • Fixed bug in the NVENC encoder parameters (aq-strength).
    • Added libfdk_aac (You need to have "libfdk-aac-1.dll" in either either your c:\windows\system32 directory or in your main Premiere or Media Encoder directory).

    Thanks for your support and please consider donating.

    Edit:

    You can download the libfdk-aac-1.dll i.e. from Sherpyas mplayer page ( http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/files/…86_64-v0.1.6.7z ) or build your own one.

  • Released Voukoder 0.8.0

    Its been quiet for some time. This is due to three major reasons:

    • I am very busy with changes for the "General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)"
    • Voukoder is already pretty much stable
    • The weather is really nice and I like to hang out with friends in the sun :)

    Important! Again, you might have delete/recreate your presets again. I know this is a hassle, but Premiere still caches this settings. Also switch to a different exporter and back to Voukoder if settings seem to be wrong.

    Changes:

    • Updated to the latest sources of all components from GIT
    • Add LAME mp3 encoder
    • Added zscale filter to resize the video with high quality algorithms

    As always: Please give feedback to me (or in the forum) and consider donating. Thank you!

  • Released Voukoder 0.7.2

    This release has one of the most painful bug fixed. As before you can install the ZIP manually or use the windows installer.

    Changes:

    • Fixed shifted pixels bug in 10bit and 12bit mode
    • Updated to latest FFMpeg / x264 / x265 masters
    • Fixed packet duration bug so we finally have constant frame rates
    • Put real voukoder version number in container meta info

    As always: Please give feedback to me (or in the forum) and consider donating.

  • Introducing: Windows Installer!

    From now on there will be (additional to the existing zip file) an automatic installer for the voukoder plugin. This makes the installation process even easier. It is very simple at the moment but it should do its work.

    Let me know about any issues or suggestion for improvements you have.

  • Released Voukoder 0.7.1

    I'm glad you like the Voukoder but i am still getting very little feedback. Please tell me on the forum / twitter / email what you like /dislike / wish about the Voukoder.

    Changes:

    • Updated x264, nvenc_h264, nvenc_hevc and aac encoder configurations and added some missing options
    • Fixed 10bit and 12bit color depth support for non FMA-CPUs
    • Changed build target to Windows 7
    • Reusing frame-buffers instead of allocating and freeing them for each frame

    Thanks to Clockiy for some encoder configuration fixes and lots of descriptions.

  • Released Voukoder 0.7.0

    I was unsure if i should release this version. It was a rather spontaneos decision. But well, here we are:

    Changes:

    • Added PCM 24bit umcompressed audio encoder
    • Added descriptions for all GUI parameters (Big thanks to Clockiy!)
    • Updated to latest FFMpeg, x264 and x265 master (Risky ... but who cares ;) )
    • Removed faulty "Full range video" option
    • Added 10bit encoding for x264!! (Wooohoo!!)
    • Added experimental AMD hardware encoding support
      This is currently untested because of the well known "I don't have an AMD GPU"-issue .... an i mean completely untested. So it would be nice to know if the AMD encoders show up in the drop down box at all. Well... we'll see.

  • Hardware acceleration for AMD GPUs

    I would like to add support for AMD GPU hardware acceleration to the Voukoder, but unfortunately i do not have an AMD GPU to develop and test this. GPU prices are currently quite high and i simply can't afford just buying one for testing purposes. It would be great if the existing (and maybe future AMD users) of Voukoder could support me with this:

    • If you have an (used) AMD GPU (RX 400, RX 500, Vega or Pro series) and you do not need it anymore it would be fantastic if you could send it to me. Please contact me via email or PM.
    • You might consider donating with paypal.me or Bitcoin to have this feature added. (See the donation box on the right hand side).

    Thanks.

  • Released Voukoder 0.6.1

    Finally!

    There are no more known bugs left! Please test this release as good as you can and report all issues you may find.

    Download: https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder/…86_64-0.6.1.zip

    Changes:

    • Audio resampling should not be noisy anymore
    • Unicode support for files (Chinese, Russian, etc. characters finally work)
    • Encoding of interlaced sources has been fixed
    • Pixel aspect ratio (PAR, DAR and SAR) has been fixed
    • You can now encode video streams only (without audio)

  • Released Voukoder 0.6.0

    Feature Freeze! From now on there will be no new features added to the Voukoder until we have reached version 1.0. Please report any bugs and issues so we can get a stable version 1.0 as soon as possible.

    Again, you might have delete/recreate your presets again. I know this is a hassle, but Premiere still caches this settings. Also switch to a different exporter and back to Voukoder if settings seem to be wrong.

    Download: https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder/…86_64-0.6.0.zip

    Changes:

    • Support for PCM based audio codecs (Uncompressed, FLAC, ALAC)
    • Complete code overhaul!
    • Prepared the plugin to work with other NLEs / hosts
    • Removed 2-pass encoding for x264 / x265. It just made too many problems
    • Using SSSE3 for all necessary color/pixel format conversions
    • 10-bit and 12-bit encoders are not considered experimental anymore
    • Set the "faststart" flag by default

    This continues to be free software, but please consider donating and supporting this project.

    Thank you!
