Released Voukoder 2.0 (BETA)

This is the first public beta release of Voukoder R2.

It is a beta release and it is absolutely not recommended to use it for production work. You will use it on your own risk!

Please test this release carefully and yes, try to break it! Try to produce bugs and crashes and report your findings to me. I was working almost 7 months on this new version and did the best I could to get it this far. But now it's on you to provide some testing feedback. Please use the new Voukoder R2 subforum: Voukoder R2

I did not implement all requested features yet. For me it is more important to get the base system running, and once we got it that far I will work on your requests and ideas.

Thanks.

P.S.: Your donations and your support are very welcome. PayPal, Patreon and wire transfer are possible and I would be also very happy about hardware donations. I especially need high performance (And I mean it! ) CPUs / systems. Just contact me in that case.

P.P.S: Thanks to Gronkh for beeing my first top tier patron on patreon!

P.P.P.S: Doing my final testing on my i7 8700K / RTX 2080 TI setup I got like 430fps encoding speed! (2048x1152@60 with h264 NVENC / aac) and CS6. I STILL can't believe that!!

Provided the first BETA 2 update. The first bugs are fixed.

Thanks for reporting the bugs and please continue testing.
