Dependencies 1.4.0

Linux dependency bundles (1.4.0): ffmpeg switched to a hardware-enabled static build (x64: QSV/NVENC/AMF/VAAPI; arm64: NVENC/AMF/V4L2M2M), still software-capable without a GPU/driver. macOS/Windows remain on deps-v1.3.0. Auto-downloaded by the app on first launch — not a VapourBox app release.

VapourBox 0.9.6

VapourBox 0.9.6

The big one: VapourBox now runs on Linux, and macOS ships as a single universal build covering both Apple Silicon and Intel.

What's New

• Linux support (x86_64 + aarch64) — VapourBox is now cross-platform across macOS, Windows, and Linux. It ships as a portable tarball; the VapourSynth/FFmpeg dependency stack downloads automatically on first launch (to ~/.local/share/VapourBox/), same as the other platforms. The full filter set is available.
• macOS is now a Universal build — a single signed & notarized DMG runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (Intel support is new this release)..

Fixes

• Preview no longer breaks when toggling filters rapidly — fixed a race condition that could leave the preview stale or errored when filters were switched in quick succession.
• Clearer worker error reporting on Unix — process failures now report the terminating signal (e.g. SIGSEGV) instead of an opaque exit code.

Downloads

• Windows: VapourBox-0.9.6-windows-x64.zip
• macOS (Universal — Apple Silicon + Intel): signed & notarized VapourBox-0.9.6-macos-universal.dmg
• Linux (x86_64): VapourBox-0.9.6-linux-x64.tar.gz
• Linux (aarch64): VapourBox-0.9.6-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Dependencies

Dependencies (~185 MB) are downloaded automatically on first launch.

Under the hood

• New cross-platform CI test gate runs the full Rust + Flutter test suites on macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux for every push and PR.
• Linux dependencies and the Linux whisper-cli are built from source via dedicated CI workflows; macOS x64 deps now build natively on the Intel runner.

whisper-v1.8.3

whisper.cpp v1.8.3 whisper-cli binaries for Linux, built by build-whisper.yml. Fully static (glibc-only) for Ubuntu 22.04+ / glibc >= 2.35. Consumed by the app via assets/whisper-addon.json. macOS uses a Homebrew bottle and Windows the upstream release zip; this release covers Linux x64 + arm64.

VapourBox 0.9.5

VapourBox 0.9.5

What's New

• New lossless codecs: HuffYUV and FFVHuff, selectable for AVI/MKV output (fast lossless intermediates alongside FFV1).
• macOS builds are now (finally) signed and notarized with a Developer ID — open without Gatekeeper warnings.

Fixes

• #6 — MP4/MOV output no longer fails on sources with image-based (PGS/VobSub) subtitles; only text subtitles are mapped to mov_text, image-based tracks are skipped.
• Output paths now use the platform separator on Windows (no more mixed D:\dir/file.mov).
• Preview now reports a clear error on un-analyzed files instead of a cryptic BlankClip: invalid width.

Downloads

• Windows: VapourBox-0.9.5-windows-x64.zip
• macOS (Apple Silicon): signed & notarized VapourBox-0.9.5-macos-arm64.dmg

VapourBox 0.9.3

Hotfix v0.9.3

• Fix DVD extraction failing on Windows physical drives — root paths like D:\ produced illegal characters in temp filenames

From v0.9.2

Film Restoration Filters

• DeScratch — Remove vertical scratches from scanned film (spatial, single-frame analysis)
• SpotLess — Remove dust, dirt, and temporal spots using motion-compensated median filtering

Chroma Fixes

• Chroma Shift (Y/C Delay) — Precisely align chroma planes with sub-pixel accuracy for analog sources
• Fixed method dropdown showing alongside individual checkboxes in Chroma Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Fixed preview template unconditionally marking clips as field-based, causing resize errors with some filters
• Fixed DeScratch compatibility with field-based clips and non-8-bit formats

VapourBox 0.9.0

What's New

DVD Disc Import

Import directly from DVD discs, VIDEO_TS folders, and ISO images. VapourBox extracts individual titles using libdvdread, with progress tracking and automatic cleanup of temp files. CSS decryption supported if the user installs libdvdcss separately.

OpenCL GPU Acceleration on macOS

QTGMC now automatically uses NNEDI3CL (OpenCL GPU) on macOS, where the CPU-only ZNEDI3/NNEDI3 plugins lack ARM NEON optimisations and run pure scalar C. This significantly speeds up the interpolation step on Apple Silicon.

Replace BestSource/FFMS2 with FFmpeg Pipe Source

BestSource's frame-accurate seeking could cause A/V desync on certain sources. This release replaces the entire source chain with a single FFmpeg pipe architecture:

• No more slow indexing — FFmpeg pipe starts immediately, no frame index needed
• Consistent preview and encode paths — preview uses the identical pipeline as conversion
• Preview respects encoding settings — chroma subsampling and other parameters reflected in previews

Advanced QTGMC Parameters Overhaul

All advanced QTGMC parameters are now optional with proper defaults matching havsfunc internals. When a checkbox is unchecked, the parameter is omitted entirely — letting QTGMC use its own preset-driven defaults (matching how tools like Hybrid handle these settings).

• 30 advanced parameters (TrueMotion, GlobalMotion, DCT, SubPelInterp, ThSAD1/2, ThSCD1/2, etc.) are now optional — previously always passed even when untouched
• All optional parameter defaults match the actual havsfunc function signatures, not custom presets
• User-adjusted values are preserved when disabling and re-enabling a parameter checkbox
• 5 parameters (Str, Amp, FastMA, ESearchP, RefineMotion) were not being passed to the script at all — now properly wired through

Bug Fixes

• Fix advanced settings optional parameter checkboxes not toggling (#4) — optional params had null defaults, so clicking the checkbox called onChanged(null) which kept the parameter disabled
• Fix 4 VapourSynth parameter name mismatches in deinterlace schema (BlockSize→Blocksize, SBB→Sbb, Device→device, OpenCL→opencl) that caused silent parameter drops
• Remove non-existent vinverseScl parameter from Vinverse filter (havsfunc Vinverse only has sstr, amnt, chroma)
• Fix all filter schema defaults to match actual havsfunc function signatures (dehalo, noise_reduction, sharpen, deband, chroma_fixes)
• Fix display aspect ratio for anamorphic DVD previews (SAR correction)
• Fix queue info dialog overflow when showing long DVD extraction logs
• Fix ffmpeg reading full audio track when exporting trimmed segments
• Fix orphaned vspipe process on cancel by calling vspipe-bin directly
• Fix progress tracking showing wrong frame count when trimming with in/out points
• Fix phase-aware progress tracking for telecine pipeline
• Fix whisper deadlock on long videos and subtitle-only output path bugs
• Fix pipe_source.py not bundled in release builds
• Embed VapourBox version in output file metadata and preserve source subtitles

Testing

• Added schema-driven integration tests for all filter types (QTGMC, noise reduction, dehalo, deblock, deband, sharpen, chroma fixes, color correction)
• Tests verify every optional parameter name and value in the generated VapourSynth script against the filter schema
• Basic-mode test verifies no advanced parameters leak into the script when Advanced mode is off
• 12 new integration tests, all passing

Internal

• QTGMC parameters are now nullable — null means "let the preset decide" vs an explicit user override
• lastOptionalValues in DynamicParameters preserves user values across disable/re-enable cycles
• Renamed RestorationPipeline → ProcessingPipeline across codebase
• Filter category restoration → cleanup
• Removed FFMS2 and BestSource dependencies entirely — smaller dependency footprint
• Patched havsfunc EEDI3CL fallback for modern eedi3m plugin (no OpenCL EEDI3)

Dependencies: Uses deps-v1.2.0 — adds libdvdread, boost (for NNEDI3CL), removes FFMS2

Dependencies 1.2.0

Changes since deps-v1.1.0

• Removed FFMS2 and BestSource dependencies (replaced by FFmpeg pipe source)
• Added dvdbackup for DVD disc import support
