GPL
* Tue Mar 04 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Removed options 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the 60p -> 24p FPS conversion menu
as these filter chains are not very reliable and often fail at doing
the conversion. Also removed support for the decimate filter so now
only framestep and filmdint are supported which give the best results
- Refined the filmdint filter parameters for 60p -> 24p FPS conversion
and set default filter to filmdint=fast=0/io=60:24
- Implemented -sv option which scans an input video file and displays
information about it
- Remove config directory on non-zero exit status
- Updated the man page
* Sun Mar 02 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Added support for 30p -> 24p FPS conversion
- Added support for the decimate filter when doing 60p -> 24p
FPS conversion
- Small improvements to the crop preview code. Should come after
the user has entered the crop values
- Video file encodings: Use unique default output file based on
process ID
- Fixed a small bug where xvidenc assumes that the $HOME/.xvidenc
directory already exists but that might not be the case, so it
will fail at making an unique temporary directory. Reported by
Nathaniel Gray
- Added support for setting the quantization parameter for the
spp, uspp and fspp postprocessing filters
* Sat Mar 01 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Notify the user that the frame rate will change when using the
inverse telecine/telecine filters
- Improvements to the batch exporting code
- Added support for doing 60p -> 30p, 60p -> 24p and 50p -> 25p
FPS conversion. Useful for HD content that runs at 59.94 or 50 fps
This option is mutually exclusive with interlacing and frame doubling
deinterlacing filters
- Removed the '-p help' option as it is not very useful. --help
displays everything one needs to know
- Fixed a bug in the batch exporting code of the MP4 part where
muxing fails when using the MP3 audio codec due to undefined
input file
- Disabled colorspace conversion when interlacing, telecining or
when doing FPS conversion as some (most?) filters don't like it
- Made the script to use unique temporary directories to store
the config/parsing files. That way, one can run multiple
instances of xvidenc at the same time without interference
- Modified the batch exporting code to work with unique
directories
- Colorized automatic actions/info/menus
- Updated the man page
* Tue Feb 26 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Added 4 stand-alone HW compatible presets (hwsdpal, hwsdntsc,
hwhdpal and hwhdntsc)
- Clean ups in the MP4 muxing code
- Bugfix: enabled MP4 and OGM muxing when using the default
audio codec (mp3). The bug was introduced while converting the
muxing code to base its decision on variable $audiocodec
instead of $audcodec which is no longer available
- Updated the man page
* Mon Feb 25 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Removed the 'user defined' option from the deint_custom_fps_func()
function as it can confuse users who don't really know what to
enter there
- Added support for different audio resampling modes
- Added support for the 'lavcresample' audio resample filter
- Made the audio_resample_func() function to be menu driven
- Converted the MKV/MP4/OGM code to base its decision on
variable $audiocodec instead of variable $audcodec. Makes
the code less complicated
- Added support for calculating the video bitrate when encoding with
the NOSOUND audio option
- Added support for calculating the video bitrate when encoding with
the PCM audio codec
- Made the code for the bicubic software scaler parameters to
be menu driven
- Enabled AAC audio support for the Matroska container. Please
upgrade your mkvtoolnix to the latest SVN version!
- Added support for automatic detection of the video aspect
- Don't continue if MEncoder exits with a non-zero status
- Small improvements to the DVD titles scanning code
- Small improvements to the check_diskspace_func() function
- Updated the -sc option
- Variable renamings
* Wed Feb 20 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Fixed a bug in the deint_custom_fps_func() function. Variable
deintfsp for NTSC @ 59.94 fps should be deintfps
- Fixed a bug in option 8 of the $dfilter variable which was
using a invalid underscore. Should be -field-dominance 1
instead of -field_dominance 1
- Clean ups of old commented out code
- Reordered the deinterlacing menu. Separated the normal deinterlacers
from the frame doubling ones.
- Small improvements to the audio_channels_func() function
- Updated the README.xvidenc file
* Mon Feb 18 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Updated the DVD chapters code to support the latest SVN version
of MEncoder
- Small improvements to the cropping code
- Fall back to 'dd' for ISO dumps if 'pv' is not available on
the user's system
- Set default noise pattern to be Luma + temporal instead of
Luma & Chroma + temporal
- Added support for the lossless format of the Sonic audio codec
- Rplaced a few 'if' conditionals with 'case' conditionals
- Bugifx: the ivtc/telecine process should check for the $deintfilter
variable instead of the $deintfps one. ivtc/telecine is mutually
exclusive with deinterlacing
- Improvements to the MP4 muxing part when exporting the options to
the batch file. From now on, the FPS needed for MP4Box is directly
taken from the AVI file. This approach is much more reliable and the
user no longer needs to edit the FPS value for MP4Box when exporting
the options of NTSC content.
- Moved all of the audio codecs code into functions. Easier to
maintain
- Added supprot for the Tfields deinterlacer @ original frame speed
and Tfields + fast/medium/slow/slowest Mcdeint @ original frame speed
* Thu Feb 14 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Export testing condition to the batch file for the output of MEncoder
and for the output directory as well
- Changed FPS naming for Silent Speed to Silent Film
- Added support for automatic brightness/contrast control
- Bugfix: Only ask for deletion of the AVI file if the user has chosen
to remux it to one of the supported containers
- Removed duplicate $quiet variable in the video_deinterlace_func()
function when deinterlacing with a frame doubler
- Modified the -iso option to use 'pv' for DVD ISO dumping instead of
'dd'. 'pv' provides us with a nice progress bar which is useful as
it takes a long time to dump a DVD, so the user can follow the
progress. 'dd' provides no such thing.
- Updated the -iso option to support dual-layer DVDs (~8.54 GB)
- Added support for setting the subtitle alignment
- Added support for setting the subtitle Gaussian variance strength
when hardcoding subtitles into the movie
- Use $IDXFILE variable for the MP4SUB and MKVSUB variables
- Various small code improvements
- Updated the man page
* Tue Feb 12 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Replaced some more 'sed' commands with 'awk'
- Made the deint_custom_fps_func() function to be menu driven
- Implemented -iso option for dumping the DVD content with 'dd'
to an ISO image to disk
- Variable renamings and small clean ups
- Added 'sleep 3' delay for the exported options
- Use detected FPS value in the bits_per_pixel_func() and
bits_per_block_func() functions instead of falling back to 25
if the user doesn't set/force the FPS value
- Changed the -o option to -b to better reflect that this option
is for batch encoding. Also default output file of the options
file will be $HOME/batchfile
- Updated the FPS values for VFR Anime sources and Silent Speed films
- Updated the AUTHORS file
- Updated the man page
* Sun Feb 10 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Added support for the OGM container
- Removed support for file splitting as the code/operation is
not very reliable, especially with embedded subs in the MKV/MP4
containers. Further, the code to support 4 containers is pretty
large and unmanageable
- Added the -tmp flag to the MP4Box commands to not run out of
disk space in case of large files. Suggested by Henk Schoneveld
- Added the -field-dominance flag to the MEncoder parameters for
deinterlacers that support setting the field order
- Added support for fast/medium/slow/slowest mcdeint combined
with the Yadif and Tfields deinterlacers
- Changed variable $df to $dfilter
- Replaced a few 'sed' commands with 'awk'
- Small clean ups
* Fri Feb 08 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Renamed variable $audio_codec to $audcodec
- Added support for exporting the fps value when exporting
the MP4Box commands to the options file. It's still not 100%
reliable 'cause of the NTSC crapware!
- Disabled exporting the MP4 muxing commands to the options file
when using NOSOUND as the code base does not allow it
- Simplified the MP4 muxing code a bit. This reduces a bit of
code duplication
- Notify the user that the frame rate will change if he is
interlacing progressive content
- Remove displaying "Checking for lsdvd..." every time the
user chooses for DVD encoding
- Don't enable interlace-aware software scaler when telecining
progressive content as the telecine filter comes after the
scale filter
- Cosmetics: forgot a few 'echo' statements in the
video_deblock_func() function
- Improvements to the video_deinterlace_func() and video_interlace_func()
functions
- Removed support for optimization of the MP4 file layout as
the 'mpeg4ip' tools are no longer actively developed
- Some improvements to the audio scanning menu
- Some clean ups
* Wed Feb 06 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Added support for setting/forcing the video aspect ratio
- Added support for exporting the Matroska muxing commands
into the options file
- Added support for adding noise to the encoding with the
'noise' video filter
- Added support for exporting the MP4 muxing commands to the
options file. Note that FPS detection is not exported so
you'll have to edit the options file and set the correct
FPS value for MP4Box if you don't want to have any A/V
sync problems!
- Added support for previewing the crop values for 15 seconds
- Updated the man page
* Mon Feb 04 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com>
- Made the custom FPS code for deinterlacing a function. This
reduces code duplication
- Added support for deblocking-only of DVDs/video files with
the ha/va filters
- Reordered the input frame rate selection menu of the
video_interlace_func() function
- Added support for the Sonic audio codec
- Changed contact email address due to some issues with my current
ISP provider
- Updated the man page
- Comments clean ups
* Thu Jan 31 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Fixed a potential bug where MP4Box/mkvmerge can fail to parse
the filename of the subtitle during importing
* Thu Jan 24 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Bugfix: added a condition to check if the 'tfields' filter is used,
and if so, to place it after the crop filter. The reason for this is
that 'tfields' alters the resolution and if this filter comes before
the crop filter, the crop values will no longer be correct so
MEncoder will error out with a "crop area outside of the original"
message.
- Implemented menu driven -scan option for DVD information. With
-scan one can display extensive information about a DVD or
can export the information to a file on disk in text, perl,
python, ruby or xml format.
- Added support for auto-detection of the FPS value and setting it
to double when deinterlacing with a frame doubling deinterlacer
- Added a note that NTSC FPS detection is not 100% reliable. This
comes from the fact that xvidenc only detects the FPS flag set
in the video content but many NTSC DVDs "lie" about their true
FPS value
- Enabled hq_ac for the NLQ profile
- Updated the deinterlacing menu
- Added the -nocache option to MPlayer for faster execution
- Updated the signal traps
- Updated the man page
* Mon Jan 21 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Made the audio codec selection to be menu driven.
- Made scanning for multiple audio streams in video files
to be optional.
- Added back support for the old ha/va/dr postprocessing
deblock/dering filters.
- Added support for interleaving even lines from even frames
with odd lines from odd frames with the 'tinterlace' filter
in mode 4
- Added support for the frame doubling 'tfields' temporal fields
filter and 'tfields' + 'mcdeint'
- Enabled chrominance filtering for the temporal 'tn' denoiser
- Some small code improvements to the 'sed' parsing.
- Cleanups in the quality presets. Made the 2-pass $turbo
variable to be global instead of per preset based. This
reduces code duplication.
- Fixed a small bug when using user defined frame rate during
the frame doubling deinterlacing process. Integer input values
were not multiplied by 2. Also added a note that the provided
FPS will be multiplied by 2
* Mon Jan 14 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Bugfix: wrong default output name used for video files.
Should be Xvid.avi and not H264.avi. This bug was
introduced due to code sharing with the h264enc script
- Changed default (un)sharp mask/gaussian blur matrix to
luma & chroma 7x7 as it provides a better balance than
the 3x3 matrix.
- Added a tip for the 'denoise3d' and 'hqdn3d' filters that
one can do only Spatial, only Temporal or Spatial and
Temporal filtering with these filters. Spatial-only
filtering is achieved by setting the last two values
to 0, Temporal-only filtering is achieved by setting
the first two values to 0. Spatial and Temporal filtering
is achieved by using all values.
- Added support for adjusting the filter strength of the 'fspp'
postprocessing filter.
- Added support for doubling the frame rate of the content
during the deinterlacing process with the 'yadif' and 'mcdeint'
filters.
- Added support for interlacing progressive 100 fps PAL and
progressive 119.88 fps NTSC content.
- Updated the FPS code. Added support for PAL/SECAM/NTSC Quad
(100 and 119.880 fps) and reordered the menu. Also disabled
frame rate selection when interlacing progressive content or
deinterlacing interlaced content with a deinterlace filter
which doubles the output frame rate. Both actions are mutually
exclusive with setting the output frame rate as the chosen
interlace/deinterlace process will take care of the fps.
- Placed the interlace filters 'tinterlace' and 'phase' after
the harddup filter so that duplicate frames will never get
interlaced.
- Renamed variables $pullup, $telecine, $cropping, $colorspace,
$ivtc_filter, $int_fps and $int_ofps to $ivtcfilter, $telecinefilter,
$cropfilter, $colorspacefilter, $ivtcfilt, $intfps and $intofps
* Fri Jan 11 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Modifications to the output filename code. As of now, for
DVD encodings, xvidenc will scan the DVD for its title
and will set the default output filename according to
the title found on the DVD disc. If the DVD title is not
found, xvidenc defaults to the old method.
- Bugfix: don't ask for colorspace conversion if the user
doesn't scale the content. Colorspace conversion only works
with the scale filter.
- Bugfix: revert using local variables in the bits_per_pixel_func()
and bits_per_block_func() functions. Local variables don't
work when a function is called inside another one.
- Bugfix: wrong variable used in the video_deblock_func()
function. Should be 'deblockfilter' instead of 'deblock'
- Bugfix: wrong variable used in the video_denoise_func()
function. Should be 'denoisefilter' instead of 'denoise'
- Added support for the 'unsharp' (un)sharp mask/gaussian
blur filter.
- Some cleanups in the audio_resample_func() function
- Added support for selecting the frame dropping mode of
the inverse telecine 'detc' filter.
- Improvements to the DVD subtitle menu
* Tue Jan 08 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for yadif=2 deinterlacing mode which
skips spatial interlacing checking
- Added support for interlacing of progressive content with
the 'tinterlace' filter combined with 'phase'. Note
that only 50 fps progressive PAL and 59.94 fps
progressive NTSC content is supported! When interlacing
such content, the frame rate will be dropped to 25 fps for
PAL and 29.97 fps for NTSC
- Colorspace conversion does not work with deinterlacing
and interlacing filters so disable it if the user uses
some of these filters.
- Use local variables inside the bits_per_pixel_func() and
bits_per_block_func() functions
- Changed variables $scaler, $iss, $ss_parameters and
$accurate_vertical to $sws, $isws, $swsparam and $swsaccurate
- Changed the order of the video filters. The softskip
filter should come after filters which need to see
duplicate or skipped frames in order to operate correctly.
This includes any filter that does temporal processing,
like the temporal denoiser, hqdn3d/denoise3d/ow and all
the inverse telecine filters. The softskip filter should
also come before scaling so that the scale filter will be
skipped if a frame is going to be dropped. Deinterlacing
or pullup should be done before cropping. The harddup filter
should be placed before the telecine one so that duplicate
frames will never get telecined, we don't want that. The
interlace filters should be placed after the softskip and
scale filters and before the harddup filter.
- Improvements to the DVD chapters exporting code. The user
no longer needs to provide a path/filename to export the
chapters to disk. As of now, the path and filename are
automatically detected and set based on the provided output
file name and path for the encoding
- Improved the chapters loading code for the MP4/MKV containers
- Some modifications to the 'sed' parsing
- Improved the MEncoder options exporting code
- Updated the man page
* Sat Jan 05 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for the Motion Compensating Deinterlacer
(mcdeint) combined with Yadif
- Renamed variable $interlaced to $interlacing
- Disabled GMC in the UHQ preset and QPEL in the EHQ
preset
- Added support for setting the audio volume gain
with the 'volume' filter
- Disabled automatic scanning of input video files
to see if they hold up more than one video stream.
Some MPEG-TS files can cause troubles for xvidenc
which will enter into an endless loop when scanning
for multiple video streams
- Updated the man page
* Wed Jan 02 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Placed all video filters into one variable called
'videofilters'. Did the same for the audio filters
which are now carried by the single variable 'audiofilters'
This reduces filters maintenance cost for each pass
- Added support for the new Overcomplete Wavelet Denoiser
- Added support for the temporal chroma strength parameter
in the hqdn3d denoise filter
- Added support for the older 3D denoise filter (denoise3d)
- Added support for the Temporal Denoise filter (tn)
- Added support for colorspace conversion during scaling
- merged the $srate and $resample variables
- Bugfix in the audio_volnorm_func() function
- Small improvements to the fps detection code
- Some cleanups/cosmetic changes
* Sat Dec 22 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Changed contact email address
- Added support for the spp, uspp, fspp and pp7
postprocessing deblock filters. This removes support
for the old 'pp' postprocessing filters and replaces
them with the new and more efficient ones. It also
fixes the nasty hack in the video_deinterlace_func()
function and removes code duplication for DVD and video
files in that function.
- Removed variables $yadif and $kerndeint as they are
no longer required because of the changes above. All
deinterlacing filters are now carried by the $deintfilter
variable. Deblock/dering filters are carried by the
$deblock variable.
- Added support for deringing/deblocking of DVDs. Although
not really useful for most DVDs, in some rare cases it
can be handy, like for custom made DVDs with a very
low bitrate and blocking artifacts.
- Added support for denoising of input video files.
- Video functions reordering.
- Updated the README.xvidenc file.
- Updated the man page.
* Sat Dec 15 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Disabled asking for optimization of the MP4 file
layout if the user has chosen to embed subtitles
in the container. If optimization is ran on a
MP4 file with embedded subtitles, the subtitles
will all be black and unreadable
- Bugfix: moved the MP4 output variable before the
optimization function as it is required by the
function but won't be detected if it comes after
- Added a 'nice' value of 10 when remuxing to the
MKV and the MP4 containers
- Merged the vobsubout and the vobsuboutindex variables
* Fri Dec 14 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- User request: add support for subtitles for input
video files. Useful if user wants to get the subtitles
from a VOB file on disk
- Added support for importing ripped VobSub subtitles
into the Matroska and the MP4 container
- Improved the chapters loading code. Now spaces in
file names are supported when importing a chapters file
- Added -sc switch for sanity check. This will check for
the programs which are required for the correct operation
of the script and it will print the status in a list.
It will also display which audio codecs are supported
by MEncoder.
- Some cleanups
- Updated the man page
- Updated the AUTHORS file
* Sat Dec 01 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for importing chapters information from
a file when remuxing into the MP4 container
- Fixed default name of the output file when exporting
chapters info. Was 'h264chapters' due to code sharing
with the h264enc script. Sorry for the inconvenience
- Added destination directory checking when exporting
DVD chapters to a file
* Fri Nov 30 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for exporting all chapters information
from a DVD to a file. This requires 'dvdxchap' from
'ogmtools'
- Added support for importing chapters information
into the Matroska container when remuxing
* Tue Nov 13 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Enabled MP2 audio for the MP4 container
- DVD chapter improvements. Now each chapter is displayed
in a menu list together with its start position. This
requires MPlayer 1.0rc2 so upgrade to use this feature
- Increased the crop scanning from 15 to 30 frames for
a better detection of the crop values
- When exporting the MEncoder parameters to a file, if the
file already exists, do not overwrite it but just append
the new parameters to it
- Cleanups and typo fixes
* Fri Oct 05 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for loading of custom quantization matrices
when using quality presets (user request)
* Fri Aug 31 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Disabled alias expansions in the shell, just in case it
might interfere with aliases in the .bashrc file
- Added support for the FLAC audio codec (user request)
- Changed the way the -o option operates (user request)
- Updated the man page
* Wed Aug 15 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Quality presets: enabled turbo mode for first pass in
2-pass encoding for all quality presets with the exception
of the NLQ preset
- Removed the audio surround filter in AC3 since it's
not really useful and is only used on video files
with matrix encoded audio
- Rewrote the audio_volnorm_func() function because of
the changes made to the audio filter chain
- Added condition to check if any audio filters are used
so we can add the -af option to the MEncoder parameters
- Added audio_channels_func() function for AC3, AAC, PCM
and COPY
- Some small cleanups
- Faster code to detect FPS values
- FPS: now both fractions (for Progressive NTSC/NTSC) and integer
for (PAL/SECAM) are supported
- Changed Megabyte to Mebibyte in video bitrate calculation
* Wed Aug 08 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added the harddup filter at the end of the filter chain
to further eliminate possible A/V sync problems when
muxing to the MKV and/or MP4 containers
- Disabled the check_video_filters_func() function as it is
made obsolete by the harddup filter since this filter will
always be appended to the filter chain and the -vf option
will always be required even if no other filters are used
- Added support for channel selection when using audio stream copy
- Added support for encoding from a different DVD angle
- Now video bitrate calculation for a target file size works with
audio stream copy
- Disabled asking for telecine/inverse telecine if content is PAL/SECAM
- Updated the man page
* Sat Aug 04 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Squashed a bug in the fps condition checking code
- Fixed a potential problem in the inverse telecine/pullup code
where A/V could get out of sync due to missing -fps 30000/1001
value
- Enabled audio encoding for first pass in 2-pass mode.
After extensive testings, without audio encoding for the
first pass, MEncoder can break A/V sync, especially when
doing a inverse telecine/pullup process where frame dropping
and duplicate frames are involved.
- Squashed a bug in the subtitle code which hardcoded the
subtitles into the movie even if user has selected to
dump them to files on disk
- Added support for the DETC inverse telecine filter
- Added warning notification if resolution width and/or
height is not divisible by 16 as compression will suffer
- Moved the call to the check_video_filters_func() function
outside of the scaling section
- Only ask for telecine/inverse telecine filters if user doesn't use
interlaced encoding as it is mutual exclusive with it
* Mon Jul 30 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for the Yadif deinterlacing filter
- Added support for Donald Graft's adaptive kernel deinterlacing filter
- Added support for Pulldown Reversal/Inverse Telecine. Please
read the FAQ at http://xvidenc.sourceforge.net on how and
when to use these filters! Currently 3 filters are supported,
the pullup, filmdint and ivtc filters
- Added support for Hard Telecine/3:2 Pulldown. Again read the
FAQ on how and when to use it, if at all!
- Reverted back to fractions for FPS values. According to
MPlayer's doc, integer/float should not be used anymore
with MEncoder. This change also updates the bits_per_pixel_func(),
bits_per_block_func() and keyframe variable
- Due to the high versioning, as of this version, xvidenc will
continue to use a microversion. When I started writing the script,
I didn't think of going public with it so that's why versioning wasn't
important...
- Updated the man page
* Fri Jul 27 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Changed shell interpreter from /bin/sh to /bin/bash as there were some
problems reported by Ubuntu/Debian users. Sorry for the inconvenience
* Thu Jul 26 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Merged the -bpp and -bpb options
- Added bitrate calculation to the -bpp option which is based on
the bits per pixel value
- Fixed a bug in the video bitrate calculation for a target file size.
If user has chosen to encode a video file which has more than one video
stream in it, and if the selected video stream for encoding is not the
first one, the calculated bitrate will be wrong as the $vid variable was
missing thus mplayer will get the length of the first video stream instead
of the stream selected by the user
* Wed Jul 25 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Updated the AAC part of the audio resample function. In addition
to 48000 and 96000 Hertz, AAC also supports 64000 and 88200 Hertz
- Some parenthesis changes
- Added support for optimizing the MP4 file layout with mp4creator.
This is not a hard dependency! If mp4creator is missing, this
option will be skipped. xvidenc still uses MP4Box for MP4 muxing
- Changed the output FPS format to integer and float
- Updated the bits_per_pixel(), bits_per_block() and keyframe to support
the new integer/float FPS format
- Disabled converting the final AVI to MKV if user has chosen to use the
AAC audio codec. I've spoken to Moritz Bunkus, the author of mkvmerge,
and he confirmed that at the moment he hasn't found a way yet to extract
the AAC headers from AVIs so for the time being, it is not possible to
convert AVIs with AAC audio to the Matroska container.
- Added support for input video files which contain more than one video stream.
Note that cropping won't be auto-detected on any other stream except on the
first one (stream 0) as MPlayer seems to have issues with the -sstep option
and I still haven't got an answer from the developers on how to fix it
- Converted the get_filesize_func() function from integer to float for more
accurate file size reportings
- Updated the AUTHORS file
- Updated the man page
* Fri Jul 20 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>

Many thanks to Aymeric for the help on this one
- Implemented -bpb option for calculating the Bits Per Block values
- Updated the man page
* Fri Jul 13 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a bug in the bits_per_block_func() function. The formula was
wrong which made this function display incorrect bpb values
* Thu Jul 12 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Updated the MKV and MP4 container conversion code. Now user
can convert the AVI to both formats, not just only one of them
- Added bits_per_block_func() function for calculating and displaying
how many bits are used for each 16x16 macroblock
- Complete rewrite of the file splitting code. Removed the 702 MB
requirement before the split option kicks in. The new splitting
code is much more flexible now despite of its large size. Now if
user has chosen to convert the AVI to MKV or to MP4 or to both
formats, he can choose which formats to split
- Updated the destination output checking code. Now this code respects
user permissions and warns the user and exits if creation of the
destination directory has failed

only works with MP3/AAC audio or NOSOUND as MP4Box doesn't
support the other audio codecs
- Added audio_codec_in_video_file_func() function to check
for MP3/AAC audio codecs in input video files so that user
can convert the final AVI to MP4 format if he wants to. This
function is only used when user decides to copy the audio
of the original input video file (no re-encoding)
- Added bits_per_pixel_func() function to calculate and display
the BPP value based on video bitrate, width, height and FPS

as previous MPlayer versions do not support encoding to the
above mentioned audio codecs.
- Updated the man page and README.xvidenc file
* Thu May 31 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Implemented '-p help' option for quick help on quality presets usage.
Now user can use 'xvidenc -p help' to get a quick help
on presets and how to use them.
- Added one more quality preset (Normal Quality (NQ))
- Removed obsolete checking for resolution format since
the $scale variable translates it to the correct
MEncoder format no matter if user uses a : or x for
the resolution
- Added support for checking disk space left over in the destination output
directory. If < 4 GB then user will be warned that he's running out of
disk space in that location.
- Decreased default difference threshold deblocking value for
video files to 70 as a too high value can smear details too much
- Removed an extra "layer" of piping in variables. There's
no need to "cat" a file and then pipe the output to "grep"
to get a specific value from that file as "grep" can do
it by itself. No need to do $(cat /path/to/file/file_name | grep "value")
instead use $(grep "value" /path/to/file/file_name)
- Small cosmetic changes
- Updated the man page and fixed recommended quality presets. Recommended
presets should be 'vhq', 'ehq' and 'uhq' instead of 'mq' and 'hq'
* Fri May 25 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added options "rc_reaction_delay_factor" and "rc_averaging_period"
to the quality presets
- Added informant display_quality_preset_func() function
- Improved resolution code. Now if user has chosen to
crop the input source, default resolution value will
fall back to the visible resolution area after cropping,
(eg, the left over area of the resolution after removing
the black bands with the crop filter). If no cropping
selected, default resolution value will be the original
one from the input source
- Added support for encoder priority settings ("nice" values)
- Fixed a small bug in the cropping function that will fail if
user wants to crop a video file which contains spaces in its
file name
- Updated the man page
