Good news! Let's see if it helps other people too.

Unfortunately, now get the same error as with the beta version of Vouk 3. Rendering starts and then V23 crashes.
fwiw: Works as expected in V22, using the same Vouk scene and project settings. (Just one small media file for testing).

I had the same effect. There was an error message box in the background open. This was because my license file was for the other version and i had to replace it. can you check this? Or if it is something else please copy the logfile please.

So now I have the same issue you all have: Plugin is not visible anymore, but still listed in the components dialog ... and all I was changing was the DLL info in the Resources.rc file.

EDIT: ... and when I revert my changes it is visible again! So it is not in the code, this is just depending on this single file and the DLL info/properties.

2nd EDIT: Can please all guys where Voukoder Pro is NOT running in VEGAS Pro 23 please try this update and tell me if it helps?

I just noticed the VEGAS internal encoder DLLs are "Language Neutral" whereas the Voukoder Pro plugin language is "English (United States)". I'll check that tomorrow if this is relevant.

Please run the VEGAS Pro Analyzer tool and share your results.

Did you check the "Show all Formats" check box?

See: https://www.voukoder.org/documentation/#5.3.1

That's why I explicity said: Don't install the beta on a production system! Voukoder Pro 2 does not accept FFmpeg 8. Reasons are:

• The FFmpeg DLLs have different names
• The ABI in the DLLs might have changed
• ...

And especially don't mix version 2 and the the beta installations.

What you should do now:

• Carefully uninstall all Voukoder Pro installations
• Uninstall the FFmpeg 8 installation
• ONLY install Voukoder Pro 2 again and verify the license info is the version 2 license.

(It is possible to install FFmpeg 7 and 8 in separate directories though. I have patched the FFmpeg 8 installers already)

Also, cannot attach image and cannot edit typos... :-/

This should be working actually. What's your error message?

It is now on the download page.

Vouk, I already asked once — would it be a problem to release version 2.15 that would be compatible with VP23?

That's what I said earlier:

This year ... I'll work something out to give you all access to VEGAS Pro 23 asap.

But keep in mind: This will just happen with VEGAS Pro 23. So if VEGAS Pro 25 gets an API change and I have to release a new plugin ... this will be part of Voukoder Pro 2027. I won't make older versions of Voukoder Pro compatible with newer VEGAS Pro versions. Same applies for versions of FFmpeg.

Maybe it is interesting to mention that I have also planned to release an alternative subscription license. So if you pay a monthly subscription license between 5 and 10 EUR you can use always the latest version. The current license option will also remain.

Great!

Next year the upgrade for VEGAS Pro will be an update in the Voukoder Pro installer.

This year ... I'll work something out to give you all access to VEGAS Pro 23 asap.

Strange, i have changed it that it is always progressive UNLESS you set it to top/lower field first. It should solve this issue.

I guess VEGAS Pro would send it in with merged fields as progressive frame(s) to Voukoder Pro anyway.

Did you try setting it to top field first or bottom field first or even progressive? Did that work?

These options are support for mapping it to FFmpeg in Voukoder Pro.

Maybe i shouldn't map this automatically at all? Mmmmhhhh...

What Voukoder Pro did you try to install?

• Voukoder Pro 2.0.14
  • => This needs FFmpeg 7.x
• Voukoder Pro 2026 BETA
  • => This needs FFmpeg 8.x

Does the Designer work with beta3?

This error is actually misleading. It complains that no interlace type has been set (-1). Can you check what type you have set in your project? Upper first, lower first or progressive?

Please note: I have updated the license algorithm in the beta 3 version. If it is not working anymore please request a new beta license code.

Info: The VEGAS Pro 23 update for Voukoder Pro 2.x can be found here.

Can you please paste the logfile after the render crashes?

Edit: I can reproduce it now. Same error message here.

Can you please run this small tool and post the generated result? https://www.voukoder.org/forum/thread/1616

People with having issues not seeing Voukoder Pro listed in VEGAS Pro 23 should please run this tool and paste the full result - including with a brief error description - in this forum https://www.voukoder.org/forum/board/47 or send it do me personally to daniel@voukoder.org . A user once reported the active users locale (region and language) could cause this.

First, good that is shown in VEGAS Pro.

Second. did you try to run the standalone designer app? Or, did to try to start in from within VEGAS Pro? Or both?
