It is not one monolothic component anymore, it has been split into two components: +1. The [Voukoder Core](https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder) component will be registered as a system wide COM server and will provide its encoding services and user interface to as many programs as possible. You can even integrate it to your own program. +2. The **connector**. A connector is the component that binds to the host application and sends the frame data to the voukoder core component. +## Why so complicated? I liked it how it was before! +This step was necessary for many reasons and was actually unavoidable: +- Clear separation between proprietary and open source code +- One voukoder component serves many connectors +- Possible future features (i.e. self updating) +- ... + +In fact the connectors will most likely not change that often. You just need to install the latest voukoder core component in case of an update, just as before. + +**I'd like to create a special installer program that makes it simpler and detects installed or not installed versions, downloads whats required.
