Release notes

Videorc 0.9.25 Beta 1

The "Recording quality check failed" error that could pop up after a perfectly good recording is gone, automatic recording repairs now actually work in the shipped app, and quality warnings only appear when something is truly wrong with your file.

The scary post-recording warning is gone — and repairs actually work now

  • The red "Recording quality check failed" error after ordinary recordings is gone — your file was always fine; the check itself was failing.
  • Automatic recording repairs (fixing choppy or uneven playback) now actually work in the installed app instead of silently failing.
  • Quality warnings now only appear when your recording is genuinely damaged — like missing audio — instead of for technicalities you'd never notice.
  • At most one quality notice per recording, so finishing a session no longer stacks up toasts.

No more false alarms after recording

Some of you saw a red "Recording quality check failed … Unrecognized option 'crf'" error after finishing a normal recording. The recording was never the problem — the automatic check-and-repair step behind the scenes was broken in the shipped app, and its internal error was being shown to you as if your file was damaged. That error is gone. If the automatic check ever can't run, it now notes it quietly in the session's history and leaves your recording untouched.

Repairs that actually repair

When a recording comes out with uneven pacing or dropped frames, Videorc can re-process it into a smooth copy — and it only ever swaps in the repaired version after verifying it's genuinely better, keeping a backup of the original. That repair step now works properly in the installed app on every machine, using the Mac's built-in hardware encoder.

Warnings you can trust

Quality notices now follow a simple rule: if you'd notice the problem watching the file — like a recording with no sound — Videorc tells you. If it's an internal technicality you'd never see, it stays in the Library and Diagnostics where you can look it up, not in your face. And you'll get at most one quality notice per recording.
