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 October 20, 2021, to June 23, 2022, VVCEasy was in pre-release and construction mode.
Since June 23, 2022, VVCEasy was initially released at version 1.0.0.
VVCEasy comes with one easy command, utilizing FFmpeg-VVC, Fraunhofer HHI VVC binaries, uvg266, MPV, LAVFilters, and MPC-HC & MPC-BE, among other features.
Installation: Go to the releases and download the 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 (C#): Bin/Release or Debug/netX.x/VVCEasy.exe (after building the C# project), which requires VVCEasy.dll to run the console application.

You can test Martin Eesmaa's encoded movies of VVC video codec and follow the instructions in README.txt.
Martin Eesmaa's VVC sample videos
VLC InterDigital VTM VVC Plugin is an external VVC decoder plugin from a third-party developer.
FFmpeg VVC En/Decoder & xHE-AAC supports of Windows, Mac and Linux.
See FFMPEGVVC.md.
MPV libvvdec & xHE-AAC support only Windows x64, Linux, and Android.
The VVC and MP4 mux with VVC codec can be played on MPV libvvdec + xHE-AAC version. Only MP4 files mixed with VVC support seeking.
MPV.NET is also only available for Windows.
See MPV.md.
For more information about LAVFilters Windows VVC version.
The Versatile Video Codec binaries include two tools, vvenc and vvdec, as well as uvg266.
See VVC.md
Those deprecated builds were no new commits/codes after one year.

For VLC o266player build, see o266player.md.
First, before compiling to VVCEasy Batchfile Version, you need to install Inno Setup to compile it. 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 on your keyboard to compile. After compiling, VVCEasy.exe (Installer) can be found in the Install folder.
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 the project first and it 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
If you want to compile and publish it into a portable executable file, you can do so if you wish.
dotnet publish -c Release
After that, it should be found for example at bin\Release\netX.x\win-x64\publish.
If you're not familiar with using the CLI, you can use a GUI with an application window for ease of use, eliminating the need to type commands in your terminal.
These VVC programs for encoding/decoding 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 |

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 build VVC. It was Fraunhofer HHI that built VVC. |
| 2: Are you trying to build VVCEasy? | Well, yes... it takes a longer time to make VVCEasy easier, but VVCEasy is not yet finished until further update announcements. I don't have employees, so I'm the only worker. |
| 3: Is it okay to bring my proof screenshots of errors? | Yes, you can include error screenshots as proof. More proof, it's easier to solve. |
| 4: My question is not listed on the FAQ. Can I ask you any questions? | Sure, go to the Issues tab, ask questions, and give me your issue. I'd be happy to solve it :). |
| 5: Do you know what skills you have in your programming? | I know about batch files and HTML programming. Some programming languages might be difficult for me. Update of 19th February 2022: Perhaps I should create a C# Console program, which will support Windows, Mac, and Linux. |
If you have any questions or/any issues, please go to the Issues tab and create your issue.
