VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine.Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. As far as the encoding goes, it's full-featured: It's got all audio, video and container formats, filters, advanced x264 options, subtitles and chapters.
However it goes beyond the standard HandBrake GUI in some areas. I've been able to call directly into the HandBrake core libraries, rather than wrap the CLI as the current Windows client does. The result is I get instant static previews of the source material, just like in the Mac version. The preview instantly reflects changes in resolution, pixel aspect ratio and cropping. Other advantages include the ability to pause and resume an encode and the removal of those pesky console window popups at the start of every job.
Beyond the tighter integration to the core libraries, I've overhauled the entire UI, including the workflow and preset system.

You'll need .NET Framework 4 (only the Client Profile is neccessary).
Feature List

- AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3 audio encoding and AC3/DTS passthrough
- Target bitrate, size or quality for video
- 2-pass encoding
- Multi-angle support
- Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace filters
- Batch encoding
- Instant source previews
- Creates small encoded preview clips
- Pause, resume encoding
Release Notes
- Added option to Sleep, Log off or Shut down after the encode queue completes.
- Added support for DTS-HD passthrough. Note that Target Size/Size estimation will not work correctly for this as the underlying libraries do not report the bitrate correctly.
- Added Dynamic Range Compression (DRC) support
- Added shortcuts to re-open recent sources
- Updated Normal preset x264 settings to be faster. (mirroring HandBrake update)
- Moved encode progress bar and ETA down to the bottom of the window.
- Updated to HandBrake SVN 4103.
- The XmlSerializers used are now pre-compiled. This means things should be a little faster on startup and this should eliminate some crashes related to compiling them.
- Changed update metadata storage to use the sqlite DB. This along with some extra checks to ensure the installer file exists should eliminate some reported crashes around auto-update.
- Stopped reporting early completions as failures. Too many false positives.
- Prevent a crash when getting the system DPI fails.
- Removed code that reads an old version of the encode queue. Should prevent crashes that have been reported.
- Fixed buggy "(Empty)" drive option appearing in the source list.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to pause a restored queue item before the on-demand scan had completed. The pause button is now disabled until it can have effect.
- Fixed some controls getting partially cut off in the Picture tab at minimum window width.
