I guess this is not portable

[tyeeman]

Nice application. I want to install it as a portable app but after looking on VirusTotal, there seems to be lots of registry entries during installation. I can't seem to unpack the Inno installer either. Can you supply a .zip file to make it portable?

Hi!
Ok, the prerelease 3.5.1 will take place one of these days, I will additionally make a portable version there.

Thanks, much appreciated!

I have added a portable version.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Ok, did a couple of quick encodes and I like your app very much. Simple to use and has great presets. One thing I would like is to be able to see the command line being generated. It helps troubleshoot any problems with encodes. I just made a new preset for NVenc. Here is the output listing -

NVENC, HEVC, Res: Source, Fps: Source, YUV, 4:2:0, 10 bit, VBR 6 MBps, Preset: Slow, 2 Pass, HDR: Enabled, Audio: Source, MKV

I could not change the number of passes or change the HDR setting or the Preset setting. My source is not HDR and I would like 1 pass, so there is an example. You may have hard coded these for a reason but I'm not familiar with ffmpeg when it uses NVenc. For the past year and a half I've been using Rigaya's NVencC. It's a great encoder and it would be nice to have you include it in your app! It's on github too!

Keep up the great coding here! Oh, and thanks for making the GUI work when I have changed my display to show text at 150% of normal in Windows. I don't seem to have any part of the GUI cut off or overlapping.

You can view the ffmpeg command line by selecting View->Log, it will appear after the encoding is started. As for the two passes in NVenc mode, the so-called two-pass optimization is used there, in fact it is 1 pass. You can change some parameters in the preset editor. If your video is SDR, then the HDR preset will not affect it, i.e. it will remain SDR, but with 10 bit depth. But for SDR, it is advisable to use 8-bit presets.
As for Rigaya's encoder, there will need to deal with this issue separately, since Cine Encoder is also designed for Linux, I don't know yet if it will work, in any case it will entail a lot of changes.

OK, thanks for the tips.
