New Features

various NVEncC improvements
--vpp-rotate option added to Intel encoder
--lossless switch added to NVEncC GUI for lossless H.264 encoding using a NVIDIA Maxwell GPU
in the eac3to dialog there is a new profiles feature to customize the default settings for the audio streams
Fixed Bugs

The audio gain option was only applied for ffmpeg and qaac, now it's also applied for eac3to
VapourSynth was crashing because StaxRip tried to manually load plugins that were already auto loaded
Removing a filter in the main dialog was broke
Added Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Packages as absolute requirement
VCEEncC didn't work due to incorrect command line generation
copy and execute command line feature in QS, NV and x265 dialogs should work now
wrong command line for MP3 ABR resulting in CBR
VapourSynth can be used now without AviSynth being installed (script must be set to VapourSynth before opening a source, certain audio features like cutting are AviSynth based)
new implementation for suspend, resume and abort
vslsmashsource should work now again
the PayPal donation link should always be in English now
Tweaks

Error exit codes are now also shown as hexadecimal value and are compared to system error codes, in case of a match the system error is shown and logged
Various x265 changes reflecting removed/added switches, options and defaults
replaced CropAbs with the new CropRel in VapourSynth but the profiles and templates are not reset

Improved 'Demux Configuration' dialog
Fixed and changed cropping and resizing with QSVEncC, there is now for both crop and resize a special AviSynth filter profile 'Hardware Encoder' but if AviSynth is bypassed by enabling hardware decoding in QSVEncC then it's not necessary to use this special profiles, any crop or resize profile will do in this case.

Зачем пережимать видео, если оно потеряет качество по сравнению с оригиналом. Тем более, что если видео обжато кодером, то соотношение качество к размеру должно быть уже выполнено. )

занимаюсь видео и аудио обработкой профессионально и к кодированию у меня лично особый подход.

что значит высокой чёткости?

Если обработка предусматривает качество близкое к оригиналу, то конечный результат вырастит в разы по сравнению с оригиналом.
