Technically why I needed Handbreak is that it had a couple of basic filters to denoise encoded videos found only on encoders that do not support batch encoding, so since VidCoder has them too so I'm better off. I prefer Vidcoder but tend to use Shana Encoder for more straightforward conversions using presets.And Callender strikes again, so turns out VidCoder is a rip of the open source Handbreak but yet with a more organized interface that gets things done for real unlike Handbreak. Presets can be modified via Quick Settings and you can run the conversion without saving changes to the preset on completion. For example I've never found an upscale option.
