VVCEasy by Martin Eesmaa
VVCEasy provides ready prebuilt VVC (Versatile Video Codec) binaries & players. Simple, Easy, Encode and Decode.
Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, WebAssembly & Haiku OS for VVCEasy builds.
From October 20, 2021, to June 23, 2022, VVCEasy was in pre-release.
Since June 23, 2022, VVCEasy was initially released at version 1.0.0.
VVCEasy comes with one easy all-in-one for 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 decoding/encoding, it needs manual edit the 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.
Please note my first language is Estonian and it is not native due to my second English language. Some words may have incorrect and incomprehensible. The members of AV1 Discord Community including me can help about VVC issues.
Please make sure you read the code of conduct rules first before you join the server, just in case for safety.

Compile for VVCEasy
VVCEasy Batchfile Version (optional) (Windows only)
First, before compiling to VVCEasy Batchfile Version, you need to install Inno Setup to make package.
Inno Setup link: https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
Step 1: Clone VVCEasy git and open up VVCEasy_compiler.iss file
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
VVCEasy_compiler.iss
Step 2: Press F9 on your keyboard to make installer. After that, VVCEasy.exe (Installer) can be found in the Install folder.
VVCEasy .NET Console Version (optional)
You need .NET SDK installed from Microsoft.
Link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
Minimum requirement SDK version: .NET 6.0 SDK
Step 1: Clone git and cd VVCEasy
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
Step 2: Start building the project by command:
dotnet build -c Release
Step 3: Once build is done, the result folder directory is bin/Release
cd bin/Release
You can run VVCEasy without building.
dotnet run
Publish single .NET binary executable
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 can be found for example at bin\Release\netX.x\win-x64\publish.
GUI applications (easy)
If you’re not familiar with using the CLI (command line interface), you can use a GUI (graphical user interface) with an application window for ease of use, eliminating the need to type commands in your terminal.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Before you ask any question, see the questions below at table please.
| Question |
Answer |
| 1: Are you the real creator of VVCEasy? |
That’s correct, but I’m not a real founder of VVC nor I didn’t build VVC. It was JVET 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 if I can bring my proof screenshots? |
Yes, you can include screenshots as proof. More proofs, easy to solve it. |
| 4: My question is not listed on the FAQ. |
It’s okay. You can go to the Issues tab by filing an issue with your question. I’d be happy to solve it :). |
| 5: Do you know what programming skills you had? |
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 OS and Linux. |
If you have any questions or/and issues, please go to the Issues tab and feel free to create an issue.
