## Version 0.1.0-dev12 (2025-12-02)
### Features
- ✅ **Automatic hardware encoder detection and selection**
- Prioritizes NVIDIA NVENC > Intel QSV > VA-API > OpenH264
- Falls back to software encoders (libx264/libx265) if no hardware acceleration available
- Automatically uses best available encoder without user configuration
- Significant performance improvement on systems with GPU encoding support
- ✅ **iPhone/mobile device compatibility settings**
- H.264 profile selection (baseline, main, high)
- H.264 level selection (3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1)
- Defaults to main profile, level 4.0 for maximum compatibility
- Ensures videos play on iPhone 4 and newer devices
- ✅ **Advanced deinterlacing with dual methods**
- Added bwdif (Bob Weaver) deinterlacing - higher quality than yadif
- Kept yadif for faster processing when speed is priority
- Auto-detect interlaced content based on field_order metadata
- Deinterlace modes: Auto (detect and apply), Force, Off
- Defaults to bwdif for best quality
- ✅ **Audio normalization for compatibility**
- Force stereo (2 channels) output
- Force 48kHz sample rate
- Ensures consistent playback across all devices
- Optional toggle for maximum compatibility mode
- ✅ **10-bit encoding for better compression**
- Changed default pixel format from yuv420p to yuv420p10le
- Provides 10-20% file size reduction at same visual quality
- Better handling of color gradients and banding
- Automatic for all H.264/H.265 conversions
- ✅ **Browser desync fix**
- Added `-fflags +genpts` to regenerate timestamps
- Added `-r` flag to enforce constant frame rate (CFR)
- Fixes "desync after multiple plays" issue in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi)
- Eliminates gradual audio drift when scrubbing/seeking
- ✅ **Extended resolution support**
- Added 8K (4320p) resolution option
- Supports: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K (2160p), 8K (4320p)
- Prepared for future VR and ultra-high-resolution content
- ✅ **Black bar cropping infrastructure**
- Added AutoCrop configuration option
- Cropdetect filter support for future auto-detection
- Foundation for 15-30% file size reduction in dev13
### Technical Improvements
- ✅ All new settings propagate to both direct convert and queue processing
- ✅ Backward compatible with legacy InverseTelecine setting
- ✅ Comprehensive logging for all encoding decisions
- ✅ Settings persist across video loads
### Bug Fixes
- ✅ Fixed VFR (Variable Frame Rate) handling that caused desync
- ✅ Prevented timestamp drift in long videos
- ✅ Improved browser playback compatibility

# VideoTools TODO (v0.1.0-dev12 plan)
# VideoTools TODO (v0.1.0-dev13 plan)
This file tracks upcoming features, improvements, and known issues.
## Critical Issues / Polishing for dev12
## Priority Features for dev13 (Based on Jake's research)
### Quality & Compression Improvements
- [ ] **Automatic black bar detection and cropping** (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
- Implement ffmpeg cropdetect analysis pass
- Auto-apply detected crop values
- 15-30% file size reduction with zero quality loss
- Add manual crop override option
- [ ] **Frame rate conversion UI**
- Dropdown: Source, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60 fps
- Auto-suggest 60→30fps conversion with size estimate
- Show file size impact (40-45% reduction for 60→30)
- [ ] **HEVC/H.265 preset options**
- Add preset dropdown: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow
- Show time/quality trade-off estimates
- Default to "slow" for best quality/size balance
- [ ] **Advanced filters module**
- Denoising: hqdn3d (fast), nlmeans (slow, high quality)
- Sharpening: unsharp filter with strength slider
- Deblocking: remove compression artifacts
- All with strength sliders and preview
### Encoding Features
- [ ] **2-pass encoding for precise bitrate targeting**
- UI for target file size
- Auto-calculate bitrate from duration + size
- Progress tracking for both passes
- [ ] **SVT-AV1 codec support**
- Faster than H.265, smaller files
- Add compatibility warnings for iOS
- Preset selection (0-13)
### UI & Workflow
- [ ] **Add UI controls for dev12 backend features**
- H.264 profile/level dropdowns
- Deinterlace method selector (yadif/bwdif)
- Audio normalization checkbox
- Auto-crop toggle
- [ ] **Encoding presets system**
- "iPhone Compatible" preset (main/4.0, stereo, 48kHz, auto-crop)
- "Maximum Compression" preset (H.265, slower, CRF 24, 10-bit, auto-crop)
- "Fast Encode" preset (medium, hardware encoding)
- Save custom presets
- [ ] **File size estimator**
- Show estimated output size before encoding
- Based on source duration, target bitrate/CRF
- Update in real-time as settings change
### VR & Advanced Features
- [ ] **VR video support infrastructure**
- Detect VR metadata tags
- Side-by-side and over-under format detection
- Preserve VR metadata in output
- Add VR-specific presets
- [ ] **Batch folder import**
- Select folder, auto-add all videos to queue
- Filter by extension
- Apply same settings to all files
- Progress indicator for folder scanning
## Critical Issues / Polishing
- [ ] Queue polish: ensure scroll/refresh stability with 10+ jobs and long runs
- [ ] Direct+queue parity: verify label/progress/order are correct when mixing modes
- [ ] Conversion error surfacing: include stderr snippet in dialog for faster debug
