Simple x264/x265 Launcher 2.85

This application is a lightweight GUI front-end for the x264 H.264/AVC as well as the x265 H.265/HEVC encoder, based on the Qt toolkit.

Some key features of the Simple x264/x265 Launcher software include:

• Support for creating H.264/AVC (x264) and H.265/HEVC (x265) files
• Fully self-contained, *no* additional Codecs or Plugins are required
• 64-Bit as well as 32-Bit encoder binaries are fully supported
• Optionally the "high bit-depth" encoder variants can be selected
• Batch encoding (job control) support is implemented
• If desired, multiple encoding jobs can be executed concurrently
• Adding new jobs via command-line interface is supported
• Input from the Avisynth *and* VapurSynth frame servers is supported
• 32-Bit Avisynth/VapourSynth can be mixed with 64-Bit x264/x265
• Straightforward encoder setup thanks to the Preset and Tuning system
• Custom encoder parameters can be added, if desired
• Easily manage your encoder configurations with user-defined templates
• Consistent "look & feel" on all systems thanks to the Qt toolkit

System Requirements:

• Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or any later Windows system
• 64-Bit Windows is highly recommended (32-Bit Windows works as well)
• The CPU must support at least the MMX and SSE instruction sets
• Avisynth input only available with Avisynth 2.5+ installed
• VapourSynth input only available with VapourSynth R19+ installed
• YV16/YV24 color spaces require Avisynth 2.6 (see section 10)

Simple x264 Launcher is 100% standalone, i.e. it does *not* require Mircrosoft.NET, Java Runtime Environment or other dependencies. The required Qt DLLs and encoder binaries are included in the setup.

Release Highlights:

• Updated x265 to version 1.4+424
• Updated x264 to revision 2525
• Updated Avs2YUV to version 0.24 (BugMasters mod 3)
• Proper detection of Windows 10
• Added new Tuning options for x265 encoder
