Batch Encoding — Video Commander 2026.7.0

Video Commander 2026.7.0 is now available.

Batch Encoding

You can now add multiple source files to the encode queue and process them all in one go. Each file gets its own job with independent progress tracking, and the queue works through them sequentially so you can set up a batch and walk away.

FFmpeg Options, Filter UI, and Stream Mapping

The encoding panel has been expanded with richer FFmpeg controls:

• Additional FFmpeg options are now surfaced directly in the UI, reducing the need to drop to the command line.
• A new filter UI lets you build and inspect filter chains without hand-editing arguments.
• Stream mapping controls let you select which audio, video, and subtitle streams to include in the output.

Job Completion Notifications

Video Commander now sends a system notification when a job finishes, so you know when a long encode or analysis run is done without watching the window.

Updated Progress UI

The progress bar has been refreshed to surface more detail while a job is running — including encoding speed, bitrate, fps, and time remaining — so you can see at a glance how a job is progressing without opening the full log.

Container and Codec Compatibility Enforcement

The encode queue now validates that the selected codec is compatible with the chosen output container before a job starts, surfacing incompatibilities early with a clear explanation rather than a cryptic FFmpeg error.

VMAF Report Export

VMAF analysis results can now be exported as a report file. A fix was also applied to trim progress calculation so that the progress bar tracks accurately during trimmed-source analysis runs.
