"You're Holding It Wrong!" is a classic example of not wanting to admit something is not quite right despite lots of evidence right in front of your face.
This is perhaps more common in the world of Web Design and Programming than anywhere else outside of Politics.
Maybe you have some examples or personal stories to share.
Or, maybe, like myself you are curious as to why this happens in a field that is part of Computer Science. Science is all about testing an idea to see if a good hypothesis holds any water. In the WebDev world, anything that seems logical can viral spread into a Meme that soon becomes the "everybody knows" assumption of the next generation of developers.
Example 1: Developing a software application by gluing together HTML, CSS, Javascript interpreted by a Browser while loading bits n pieces of itself via HTTP to a Web Server. So the crazy conglomeration is Turing Complete and can yield a functioning application of some sort in the most backwards manner yet devised for making computer programs. But just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Where it really gets weird is when a lot of people that started out in the web development field and that is 100% of what they know about somehow become influential and propose that everyone should standardize on the Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Hole of HTML5. Somebody, somewhere is Holding it Wrong!
VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea
VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs.
You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed.
You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work.
Feature list:
Multi-threaded
MP4, MKV containers
Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files
H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video
Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync
AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough
Target bitrate, size or quality for video
2-pass encoding
Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters
Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes
Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more
Instant source previews
Creates small encoded preview clips
Pause, resume encoding
VidCoder 12.20 changes:
Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
