2388 (it's very similar to mga_vid, but has syncronization to screen and
2389 de-interlace features)
2390 - draw_slice in syncfb finished for G400 cards (plays MPEG-1/2, OpenDivX)
2391 (de-interlacing has been disabled, because it's buggy now)

2435 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
2436 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
2437 - small English fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]
2441 MPlayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4, 2001
2443 - ASF "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
2444 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
2445 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
2446 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2447 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2448 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
2449 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
2450 - ASF seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
2454 MPlayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4, 2001
2456 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for ASF with DivX audio):
2457 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
2458 at low bitrates (usually used for ASF files with DivX audio)
2459 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
2460 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
2461 - opendivx support in ASF files [Gérard Lantau]
2462 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.

2477 small fixes, ASF sync v0.1 :)
2478 - version number incremented :)))
2479 - libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
2480 - ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
2481 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
2482 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2483 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2484 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2485 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2486 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2487 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2488 we will never have a working ASF player...
2489 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
2493 MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001
2494 libvo changes, MPEG bitrate, VCD fix, ASF grouping
2495 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
2496 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
2497 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2498 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2499 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2500 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2501 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2502 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2503 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2504 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2505 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
2506 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
2510 MPlayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30, 2001
2511 ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
2512 - ./configure: use /tmp/main$$.c instead of /tmp.main.c, and
2513 remove file after tests [SaPe]
2514 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fall back on 'pentium'
2515 if it fails (useful for people with old gcc and new CPU :))
2516 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
2517 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
2518 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames

2520 - AVI writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
2521 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
2522 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (not kbits!) default: 780000)
2523 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
2524 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
2525 - fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
2526 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
2527 (required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
2531 MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
2532 streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix
2533 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now dumps streams to files - needs testing!
2534 (it's ready to be converted to ASF demuxer and integrated into MPlayer)
2535 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now really seeks back to position 0!
2536 - ASF file format detection added (no ASF reading yet!!!)
2537 - ASF demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
2538 > it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((
2539 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
2540 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
2541 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
2542 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
2543 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
2544 causes image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
2545 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
2546 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
2547 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
2550 MPlayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22, 2001
2551 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, AVI seek fixes
2552 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
2553 - AVI file writing support, new option: -encode filename
2554 to encode an MPEG/VOB/VCD to opendivx:
2555 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
2556 (sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
2557 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
2558 - AVI writer: index support
2559 - small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
2560 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
2561 - missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
2562 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
2563 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
2564 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
2565 k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't support k7)
2566 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
2567 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
2570 ** Now we are done with planned features & urgent fixes, **
2571 ** it's time for final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
2575 MPlayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18, 2001
2576 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
2577 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
2578 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
2579 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (CPU %)
2580 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
2584 MPlayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18, 2001
2585 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support

2587 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
2588 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not working for you...
2589 (I need testfiles, I have only one)
2590 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
2594 MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
2596 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
2597 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
2598 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
2599 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
2600 (now works with DivX files, too)
2601 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
2602 to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
2606 MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
2608 - fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
2609 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
2610 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
2611 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
2615 MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
2616 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
2617 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2618 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2619 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2620 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2621 overlay in it using color keying)
2622 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2623 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2627 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2628 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2629 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2630 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2631 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2632 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2633 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2634 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2635 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2636 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2637 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2638 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2639 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2640 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2642 15bpp C convert memcpy
2643 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2644 24bpp C convert memcpy
2645 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2646 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2650 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2651 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2652 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2653 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2654 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2655 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2656 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2657 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2658 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2659 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2663 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2664 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2665 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2666 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2667 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2668 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2669 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2670 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2671 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2672 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2673 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2674 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2680 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2681 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2682 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2683 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2684 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2685 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2686 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2690 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2693 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2698 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2699 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2700 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2701 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2702 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2706 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2707 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2708 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2709 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2710 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2711 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2712 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2714 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2715 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2716 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2717 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2718 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2719 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2720 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2721 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2722 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2723 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2724 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2725 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2726 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2727 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2730 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2731 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2732 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2733 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2734 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2735 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2736 0 = none (unused yet)
2738 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2739 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2740 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2741 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2743 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2744 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2745 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2746 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2747 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2748 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2752 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2753 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2754 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2755 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2756 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2757 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2758 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2759 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2760 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2761 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2762 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2766 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2768 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2769 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down

2771 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2772 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2777 test release, small fixes
2778 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2779 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2780 [thanks to David Whysong]
2785 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2786 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2787 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2788 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2789 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2790 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2791 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2792 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2793 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2794 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2795 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2796 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2800 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2801 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2802 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2803 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2804 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2805 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2806 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2807 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2808 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
2812 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
2813 test release, players merged!!!
2814 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
2815 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
2816 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
2817 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
2818 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
2819 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
2820 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
2821 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
2822 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
2823 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
2825 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
2826 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
2827 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
2828 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
2832 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
2833 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
2834 - version changed in the files
2839 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
2840 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
2841 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
2842 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
2843 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
2845 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
2846 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
2847 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
2853 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
2854 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
2855 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
2856 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
2857 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
2861 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
2863 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
2864 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
2865 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
2866 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
2870 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
2871 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
2872 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
2873 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
2874 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
2875 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
2876 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
2877 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
2878 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
2879 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
2880 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
2881 - sse is called 'sse' again
2882 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
2883 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
2884 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
2885 no PTS resync after seek yet.
2886 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
2887 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
2891 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
2893 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
2894 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
2895 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
2899 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
2900 Better codec selection
2901 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
2902 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
2903 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
2904 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
2905 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
2906 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
2910 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
2911 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
2912 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
2913 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
2917 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
2918 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
2922 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
2926 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
2927 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
2928 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
2932 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
2933 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
2934 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
2935 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
2939 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
2940 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
2941 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
2945 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
2946 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
2947 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
2948 image quality and speed problems with it.
