1075 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
1076 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from asf headers :(((]
1077 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
1078 if you see many warning! messages playing an .asf file, then contact
1079 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
1080 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the .asf file format, so
1081 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
1082 we never will have working .asf player...
1083 - asf fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
1085 mplayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31 2001
1086 libvo changes, mpeg bitrate, vcd fix, asf grouping
1087 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
1088 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
1089 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
1090 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
1091 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
1092 - mpeg bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
1093 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
1094 -> fixed seeking for those mpegs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
1095 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
1096 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
1097 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
1098 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
1100 mplayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30 2001
1101 ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
1102 - ./configure: using /tmp/main$$.c instead /tmp.main.c, and
1103 remove file after tests [SaPe]
1104 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fallback to 'pentium'
1105 if fails (useful for people with old gcc and new cpu :))
1106 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
1107 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
1108 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
1109 (sizeof() changed to strlen()...) [Gabucino]
1110 - avi writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
1111 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
1112 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (no kbits!) default: 780000)
1113 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
1114 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
1115 - fast Mpeg-ES detection (doesn't read the whole Mpeg-PS file)
1116 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
1117 (requires for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
1119 mplayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29 2001
1120 streaming fixes, asf support pre, indeo5 fix
1121 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now it dumps streams to files - need testing!
1122 (it's ready to be converted to asf demuxer and intergated into MPlayer)
1123 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now it really seek back to 0 position!
1124 - .asf file format detection added (no .asf reading yet!!!)
1125 - .asf demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
1126 > it plays .asf video well, but still has problems with divx/wma audio. :(((
1127 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
1128 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
1129 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
1130 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
1131 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
1132 cause image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
1133 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
1134 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
1135 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
1137 mplayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22 2001
1138 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, avi seek fixes
1139 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
1140 - AVI file writting support, new option: -encode filename
1141 to encode an mpeg/vob/vcd to opendivx:
1142 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
1143 (sound encoding/copy is not yet supported)
1144 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
1145 - avi writer: index support
1146 - small fixes in avi writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
1147 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
1148 - missing {} in mplayer.c occuring audio reads when has_audio=0
1149 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
1150 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
1151 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
1152 k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't supports k7)
1153 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
1154 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
1157 ** Now we are ready with planned features & urgent fixes, **
1158 ** it's time to final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
1160 mplayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18 2001
1161 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
1162 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
1163 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
1164 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (cpu %)
1165 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
1167 mplayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18 2001
1168 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
1169 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
1170 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
1171 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not work for you...
1172 (I need testfiles, I have just only one)
1173 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
1175 mplayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14 2001
1177 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (currect CVS)
1178 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
1179 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
1180 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
1181 (now works with DivX files too)
1182 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
1183 to restore screen before exiting so it gets unusable state now)
1185 mplayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14 2001
1187 - fixed video_out_xv.c compiling problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
1188 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
1189 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
1190 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
1192 mplayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12 2001
1193 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
1194 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
1195 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
1196 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
1197 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see an YUV video
1198 overlay in it using color keying)
1199 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
1200 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
1202 mplayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6 2001
1203 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
1204 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
1205 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
1206 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
1207 make difference between 15 and 16bpp)
1208 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
1209 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
1210 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
1211 - avi playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
1212 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
1213 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
1214 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs too!!! fixed...
1215 - all x11 modes tested (and mpeg/24bpp byteorder fixed):
1217 15bpp C convert memcpy
1218 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
1219 24bpp C convert memcpy
1220 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
1221 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
1223 mplayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5 2001
1224 mpeg fixes, fullscreen support
1225 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
1226 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
1227 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bugreport: Gabucino]
1228 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
1229 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
1230 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
1231 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0 too?) users
1232 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
1234 mplayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4 2001
1235 better user messages, mp3 codec selection, demuxer changes
1236 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it damaged...)
1237 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
1238 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
1239 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
1240 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
1241 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
1242 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
1243 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
1244 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3Dnow [idea: Gabucino]
1245 - automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
1249 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
1250 inside the chunk, so divx audio works without big delays!!!
1251 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
1252 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
1253 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
1254 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
1255 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode too! :) (perfect except that Desperado avi)
1257 mplayer v0.10: Jan 1 2001 "The new year" release!
1260 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
1263 mplayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
1264 - libvo: x11/xv driver separated to x11 and xv drivers
1265 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
1266 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
1267 opengl though that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
1269 mplayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31 2000
1270 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
1271 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
1272 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
1273 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
1274 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
1275 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
1276 when has to display it
1277 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with mpeg2 streams
1278 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
1279 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
1280 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
1281 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
1282 - mpeg image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
1283 (no more green strip at the bottom)
1284 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
1285 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
1286 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
1287 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
1288 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
1289 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from avi/mpg init sections and
1290 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
1293 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
1294 k => kill/restart the mpeg codec process (for testing)
1295 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
1296 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
1297 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
1298 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
1299 0 = none (unused yet)
1301 2 = win32/VfW video codec
1302 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
1303 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
1304 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
1306 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both avi & mpeg)
1307 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (divx audio and ms-adpcm)
1308 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
1309 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
1310 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/mp3 allows it).
1311 - AVI: audio delay correction if can't seek inside the chunk
1313 mplayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24 2000 "Xmas edition"
1314 mpeg signal & EOF fixes
1315 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
1316 - `term destroys if mplayer (mpg) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
1317 added sighandler to the 3rd process (mpeg codec) to avoid sig. recursion
1318 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
1319 - mpeg EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
1320 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
1321 (contains module number where the segfault occured)
1322 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
1323 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
1325 mplayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22 2000
1327 - AVI image flipping reworked:
1328 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
1329 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
1330 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
1331 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from xanim source)
1333 mplayer v0.10-pre4: ???
1334 test release, small fixes
1335 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
1336 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
1337 [thanks to David Whysong]
1340 mplayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10 2000
1341 test release, verbose mode, new docs
1342 - new option: -v = increment verbose level
1343 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
1344 - default level: 0, only some informal output
1345 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, avi header, function values
1346 - player debug: 2, print avi indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
1347 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
1348 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level-3)
1349 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
1350 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
1351 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
1353 mplayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8 2000
1354 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
1355 - avi: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
1356 - avi: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
1357 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
1358 - avi: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
1359 (disable with -nobps if you want)
1360 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
1361 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
1363 mplayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5 2000
1364 test release, players merged!!!
1365 - avip and mpegp has been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'

1368 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
1369 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
1370 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
1371 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
1372 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
1373 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
1374 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
1376 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
1377 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
1378 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
1379 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
1381 mplayer v0.09: Dec 5 2000
1382 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
1383 - version changed in the files
1386 mplayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3 2000
1387 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
1388 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
1389 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting near-perfect seeking now!
1390 current method calc absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
1392 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
1393 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
1394 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
1398 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
1399 Walken told me that standard mpg/vob streams must NOT use framerate
1400 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
1401 - CRC support to mp3lib's mpeg audio layer-2 decoder
1402 thanks for bugreport & testfile to Samson
1404 mplayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1 2000
1406 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
1407 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
1408 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
1409 [thanks for Christian Birchinger]
1411 mplayer v0.08: Nov 27 2000
1412 Index support, avi seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
1413 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
1414 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
1415 it segfaults if compile optimized code (it does some hacks with
1416 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
1417 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check avi file structure)
1418 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
1419 - termcap usage is optional (for those debian users without termcap)
1420 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
1421 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)

1428 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
1430 mplayer v0.07: Nov 21 2000
1432 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
1433 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
1434 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
1436 mplayer v0.06: Nov 20 2000
1437 Better codec selection
1438 - avi audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
1439 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
1440 - yuv support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle yuv properly
1441 yuv works fine with divx, mpeg4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
1442 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
1443 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
1445 mplayer v0.05: Nov 18 2000
1446 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player

1457 it contains the win32 loader from avifile, and can decode divx 3.11 video.
1459 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
1460 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
1461 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
1462 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
1464 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
1465 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great
1466 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
1468 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
1469 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! I've used libmpeg3
1470 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
1471 image quality and speed problems with it.
