QuickFFSync 1.3.1 Release

Release notes

• FFmpeg Command Generation: Resolved a crash when transcoding files with embedded cover art or thumbnails.
  • Implemented a robust fallback that preserves all secondary video streams (e.g., attached pictures) by copying them while encoding only the primary video stream, and explicitly applies encoder-specific options to v:0 to avoid compatibility issues with copied streams.

QuickFFSync 1.3.0 Release

• FFmpeg Command: Fixed option ordering by ensuring the default stream mapping (-map 0 -ignore_unknown) is placed after the input file (-i), resolving the "Option map cannot be applied to input url" error.
• HEVC QSV Defaults: Changed default Scenario and Tier encoder options to auto to prevent HEVC QSV encoder launch failures due to hardware/driver parameter mismatches.
• Known Issue: hevc_qsv fails to initialize on new Intel Core Ultra / Arrow Lake CPUs (e.g., Core 5 Ultra 225U) with "some encoding parameters are not supported" even with default/auto settings (while h264_qsv, vp9_qsv, and av1_qsv work perfectly). This is a driver-level or FFmpeg-VPL runtime regression with no current software workaround. Use av1_qsv as a working alternative.

QuickFFSync 1.2.9 Release

Release notes

• Save As: Fixed Save As dialog so the selected container extension (MP4/MKV/MOV) is applied correctly and placeholder text is not offered as the default file name.
• Tooltip: Cleaned up file information tooltips by filtering out verbose Chapters blocks.

QuickFFSync 1.2.8 Release

Release notes

Maintenance: Code cleanup and removal of redundant method definitions.

QuickFFSync 1.2.7 Release

Release notes

Screen Recording:
- Screen recording now captures audio (unless "Disable audio" is selected);
- Added global hotkeys: Alt+F8 to Start, Alt+F9 to Stop;
- Implemented persistent tray icon for easier recording control when minimized;
- Added Windows balloon notifications and sound alerts for recording status;
- Added "Open QuickFFSync" and "Exit" options to tray context menu;
- Added double-click on tray icon to restore application window;
- Changed behavior: application no longer automatically restores the window when recording stops.

QuickFFSync 1.2.5 Release

Release notes

• Streams Selection: Attached pictures (cover art) are now separated from video streams;
• UI Fix: Fixed layout shifting in the Presets section when using custom presets with long names.

QuickFFSync 1.2.4 Release

Release notes

• Batch Converter Window: Updated the interface with new persistent "Output Folder" selection and "Change output container" (MP4/MKV/MOV override) features;
• Default Behavior Change: Unlike standard FFmpeg, which only picks one track per type, the application now includes ALL streams from the source file by default (implemented -map 0 -ignore_unknown logic);
• Streams Selection: Added a new Stream Mapping window (opened via the "Streams" button in the "Additional Options" section) for manual selection of video, audio, and subtitle tracks.

QuickFFSync 1.2.3 Release

Release notes

• Encoding Fix: Enforced UTF-8 encoding across all internal system calls (metadata retrieval, executable discovery, duration checks, etc.) to ensure stability across different regional system settings and prevent crashes with special characters;
• Tooltip Optimization: Metadata tooltips are now more compact (verbose tags filtered) and feature vertical screen boundary clamping to ensure they remain fully visible;
• Improved Stability: Added robust null-safety checks for subprocess outputs to prevent "NoneType" attribute errors during command execution.

QuickFFSync 1.2.2 Release

Release notes

• The ability to stop screen recording from the system tray icon menu or using the Alt+F9 hotkey;
• Better memory management and cleaning of processes (ffmpeg.exe) after closing the program;
• Removed vfx presets that are not compatible with QSV (8bit_pixelation, glitchy_tv, vintage).
