It does not look like it will work on Windows 8.1 either, which is still receiving Microsoft updates until 2023. Win 8.1 also does not have DirectX 12 as you mentioned in that thread.

Thanks for linking that thread because I missed it probably because of the nondescript topic title.
I have been using Hybrid since v2021.01.31.1 because it provides the best support for hardware video encoding. Most other GPU supporting applications that I have tried do not permit changing the number of reference frames and b frames or the other encoding options. CPU encoding provides a fairly small benefit and a really slow encoding time on my 4 core 8 thread CPU which is not worth the time when a little extra bitrate can provide acceptable quality and finish very quickly.
The VirusTotal scan does not match the installer link from your website. I downloaded it 4 times in total, 3 from your website and once from VideoHelp and the file hashes matched each time. However using the SHA-256 hash on VT could not find a match. Something is not working correctly. Posting the website installer link into VT to test it and it did not seem to do it correctly. It would provide no file hash which it has always done in the past. It showed it clean but it tested it far too quickly ie instantly, for it to be reliable IMO.
Why is it necessary to use the newest QT version? What benefit does that provide? It is going to disappoint quite a few users.
I have come across a number of problems with the different versions. I have just re-installed v2021.01.31.1 and it opens an AVISynth script that will not open in Hybrid v2021.07.18.1, it states raw files are not supported by NVEnc or something close to that message.
The script crashes in v2021.01.31.1 when it runs for some reason that I have not worked out. There are display bugs in the earlier versions where black marks appear at the top of the right Help panel.
If earlier Windows versions are not going to be supported then it would be a good idea to supply that information on hosting sites such as your website and VideoHelp. Doing a test for the OS on install and stopping the installation would save people wondering why it would not run.

Quote:Both Windows 7 or 8.x version support will not be available for Qt 6. Microsoft discontinued the support for both Windows versions some time ago, and as a vendor, we can no longer maintain support for these windows versions in Qt 6.Which isn't true because Windows 8.1 will receive extended security updates until Jan 2023 and is therefore a supported OS even if it is extended support.
