VVCEasy by Martin Eesmaa
VVCEasy is that you don't have to compile or/and coding to encode VVC (known as Versatile Video Codec). Simple, Easy, Encode and Decode.
It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, Android & WebAssembly for VVCEasy builds.
From 20 October 2021 to 23 June 2022, VVCEasy was pre-release and construction mode.
Since 23 June 2022, VVCEasy was initial released on v1.0.0.
VVCEasy comes for one-easy command by FFmpeg-VVC, Fraunhofer HHI VVC binaries, uvg266, MPV, LAVFilters with MPC-HC & MPC-BE and more.
Installation: Go to the releases and download latest version.
Windows source run (Batch-file) (for encoding/decoding, it needs to be manually edit batchfile to modify video file name): VVCEasy.bat
Windows/Mac/Linux source run (Csharp): Bin/Release or Debug/netX.x/VVCEasy.exe (after build of C#), this requires VVCEasy.dll to run console application.

Compile for VVCEasy
VVCEasy Batchfile Version (optional) (Windows only)
First, before you compile to VVCEasy Batchfile Version, you need to install Inno Setup before compiling VVCEasy. Inno Setup link: https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
Step 1: Clone VVCEasy git and open up VVCEasy_compiler.iss file
cd %userprofile%\Downloads
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
VVCEasy_compiler.iss
Step 2: Press F9 to compile on your keyboard. After compiling, VVCEasy.exe (Installer) can be found on Install folder.
VVCEasy .NET Console Version (optional)
First, before you compile to VVCEasy .NET Console Version, you need .NET SDK x64 from Microsoft. Link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
Step 1: Clone git and cd VVCEasy
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
Step 2: When you build, this will restore project first and then compiles.
dotnet build -c Release
Step 3: Once building is done, the build folder directory is bin/Release
cd bin/Release
Tip: You can run VVCEasy without building.
dotnet run
Publish single .NET binary executable
If you want to compile and publish into one portable executable file, you can create if you wish like.
dotnet publish -c Release
After that, it should be found for example at bin\Release\netX.x\win-x64\publish.
GUI applications (easy)
If you're not familiar for using CLI, you can use GUI with application window for ease use and without typing commands on your terminal.
These VVC programs of encode/decode are listed:
| Programs with website or GitHub link | Note | Creator |
|---|---|---|
| Fastflix | You might need to download my custom FFmpeg builds for encoding/decoding VVC using external libraries, rename to ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe from my custom names only, no ffplay executable file required | Chris Griffith |
| VVC-GUI-Encoder | Only encoder | Disa Kizonda |
| aVVCator | Only encoder & Linux only | Gianni Rosato |
| VVenCguiEx | Original Japanese language only for instructions and application (you can still translate), only encoder & Windows only, requires Aviutl (this may be medium or hard) | rigaya |
| VVConvert | Only encoder, encodes to VVC raw bitstream from any FFmpeg compatible video codecs, requires FFmpeg to open input video files | Alec Carter (source code) |
| Av1ador | This program allows to encode VVC while transcoding by preview and comparison from original video, includes other encoders as well. | porcino |

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Before you ask any question, see the questions at table please.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1: Are you the real creator of VVCEasy? | Yes... but I'm not a real creator of VVC, I didn't built VVC, it was Fraunhofer HHI that he built VVC. |
| 2: Are you trying to work build of VVCEasy? | Well, yes... it takes longer time to make VVCEasy easier, but VVCEasy is not yet finished until further/update announcement. I don't have employees, so I'm the only one worker. |
| 3: Is it okay to bring my proof screenshots of errors? | Yes, you can bring error screenshots for your proof. More proof, more easy to solve it. |
| 4: My question is not listed on FAQ. Can I ask any question to you? | Sure, just go to Issues tab, ask questions or/and give your issue to me, I'd be happy to solve :). |
| 5: Do you know what you have skills in your programming? | I know about batch file and HTML programming. Some hard programming languages might be difficult for me :/. Update of 19th February 2022: Maybe I should make C# Console program, that will be easy for Windows, Mac and Linux multi support. |
