🗜️ Video Compression & Stability
- Smooth AV1 compression: AV1 video compression no longer causes application freezes or Windows "Not Responding" pauses. Background encoding is optimized to keep the user interface smooth and responsive throughout the process.
- Custom encoding presets: Choose between Fast, Balanced, and High Quality presets for video compression, or provide custom FFmpeg parameters.
- Opus audio support: Added support for high-efficiency Opus audio compression alongside universal AAC.
- Preset verification: A new "Validate Configuration" button tests your video and audio settings against a mini test clip to confirm compatibility before processing files.
🛠️ Fixes
- Linux crash after long download sessions fixed: Resolved an issue where background memory cleanup during active downloads could cause the application to abruptly abort on Linux systems.
🔗 Link & Metadata Fixes
- cum.st creator and post links fixed: Creator profile links and post URLs saved in post info files now use the correct canonical format and open properly in your browser.
