1160 exit with message "recompile mplayer with #undef HAVE_AUDIO_SELECT"...
1161 - syncfb driver added to the source tree, under drivers/
1162 (it's very similar to mga_vid, but has syncronization to screen and
1163 de-interlace features)
1164 - draw_slice in syncfb finished for G400 cards (plays mpeg 1/2, opendivx)
1165 (de-interlacing has been disabled, because it's buggy now)

1202 - libvo: added uninit() function to drivers
1203 - libvo: fork()'ed X11 eventhandler for x11 and xmga drivers [me & Pontscho]
1204 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
1205 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
1206 - small english fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]
1208 mplayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4 2001
1210 - asf "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
1211 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
1212 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
1213 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work too.
1214 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
1215 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
1216 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
1217 - .asf seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
1219 mplayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4 2001
1221 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for asf with divx audio):
1222 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
1223 at low bitrates (usually used for .asf files with divx audio)
1224 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
1225 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
1226 - opendivx support in .asf files [Gérard Lantau]
1227 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.

1238 small fixes, asf sync v0.1 :)
1239 - version number incremented :)))
1240 - libvo / Xv driver swapped Red-Blue fixed
1241 - asf timestamps implemented - now asf A-V should be in sync if you
1242 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
1243 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from asf headers :(((]
1244 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
1245 if you see many warning! messages playing an .asf file, then contact
1246 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
1247 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the .asf file format, so
1248 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
1249 we never will have working .asf player...
1250 - asf fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
1252 mplayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31 2001
1253 libvo changes, mpeg bitrate, vcd fix, asf grouping
1254 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
1255 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
1256 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
1257 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
1258 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
1259 - mpeg bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
1260 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
1261 -> fixed seeking for those mpegs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
1262 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
1263 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
1264 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
1265 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
1267 mplayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30 2001

1269 - ./configure: using /tmp/main$$.c instead /tmp.main.c, and
1270 remove file after tests [SaPe]
1271 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fallback to 'pentium'
1272 if fails (useful for people with old gcc and new cpu :))
1273 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
1274 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
1275 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames

1277 - avi writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
1278 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
1279 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (no kbits!) default: 780000)
1280 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
1281 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
1282 - fast Mpeg-ES detection (doesn't read the whole Mpeg-PS file)
1283 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
1284 (requires for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
1286 mplayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29 2001
1287 streaming fixes, asf support pre, indeo5 fix
1288 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now it dumps streams to files - need testing!
1289 (it's ready to be converted to asf demuxer and intergated into MPlayer)
1290 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now it really seek back to 0 position!
1291 - .asf file format detection added (no .asf reading yet!!!)
1292 - .asf demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
1293 > it plays .asf video well, but still has problems with divx/wma audio. :(((
1294 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
1295 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is

1301 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
1302 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
1304 mplayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22 2001
1305 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, avi seek fixes
1306 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
1307 - AVI file writting support, new option: -encode filename
1308 to encode an mpeg/vob/vcd to opendivx:
1309 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
1310 (sound encoding/copy is not yet supported)
1311 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
1312 - avi writer: index support
1313 - small fixes in avi writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
1314 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
1315 - missing {} in mplayer.c occuring audio reads when has_audio=0
1316 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
1317 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
1318 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:

1327 mplayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18 2001
1328 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
1329 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
1330 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
1331 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (cpu %)
1332 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
1334 mplayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18 2001
1335 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
1336 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
1337 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
1338 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not work for you...
1339 (I need testfiles, I have just only one)
1340 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
1342 mplayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14 2001
1344 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (currect CVS)
1345 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
1346 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
1347 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
1348 (now works with DivX files too)
1349 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
1350 to restore screen before exiting so it gets unusable state now)
1352 mplayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14 2001
1354 - fixed video_out_xv.c compiling problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
1355 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
1356 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
1357 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
1359 mplayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12 2001
1360 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
1361 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
1362 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
1363 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
1364 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see an YUV video
1365 overlay in it using color keying)
1366 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
1367 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
1369 mplayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6 2001
1370 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
1371 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
1372 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
1373 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
1374 make difference between 15 and 16bpp)
1375 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
1376 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
1377 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
1378 - avi playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
1379 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
1380 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
1381 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs too!!! fixed...
1382 - all x11 modes tested (and mpeg/24bpp byteorder fixed):
1384 15bpp C convert memcpy
1385 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
1386 24bpp C convert memcpy
1387 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
1388 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
1390 mplayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5 2001
1391 mpeg fixes, fullscreen support
1392 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
1393 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
1394 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bugreport: Gabucino]
1395 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
1396 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
1397 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
1398 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0 too?) users
1399 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
1401 mplayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4 2001
1402 better user messages, mp3 codec selection, demuxer changes
1403 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it damaged...)
1404 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
1405 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
1406 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
1407 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
1408 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
1409 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
1410 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
1411 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
1412 - automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
1416 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
1417 inside the chunk, so divx audio works without big delays!!!
1418 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
1419 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
1420 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
1421 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
1422 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode too! :) (perfect except that Desperado avi)
1424 mplayer v0.10: Jan 1 2001 "The new year" release!
1427 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
1430 mplayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
1431 - libvo: x11/xv driver separated to x11 and xv drivers
1432 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
1433 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
1434 opengl though that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
1436 mplayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31 2000
1437 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
1438 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
1439 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
1440 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
1441 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
1442 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
1443 when has to display it
1444 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with mpeg2 streams
1445 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
1446 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
1447 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
1448 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
1449 - mpeg image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
1450 (no more green strip at the bottom)
1451 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
1452 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
1453 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
1454 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
1455 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
1456 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from avi/mpg init sections and
1457 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
1460 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
1461 k => kill/restart the mpeg codec process (for testing)
1462 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
1463 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
1464 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
1465 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
1466 0 = none (unused yet)
1468 2 = win32/VfW video codec
1469 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
1470 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
1471 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
1473 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both avi & mpeg)
1474 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (divx audio and ms-adpcm)
1475 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
1476 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
1477 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/mp3 allows it).
1478 - AVI: audio delay correction if can't seek inside the chunk
1480 mplayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24 2000 "Xmas edition"
1481 mpeg signal & EOF fixes
1482 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
1483 - `term destroys if mplayer (mpg) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
1484 added sighandler to the 3rd process (mpeg codec) to avoid sig. recursion
1485 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
1486 - mpeg EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
1487 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
1488 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
1489 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
1490 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
1492 mplayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22 2000
1494 - AVI image flipping reworked:
1495 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
1496 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
1497 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
1498 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
1500 mplayer v0.10-pre4: ???
1501 test release, small fixes
1502 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
1503 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
1504 [thanks to David Whysong]
1507 mplayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10 2000
1508 test release, verbose mode, new docs
1509 - new option: -v = increment verbose level
1510 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
1511 - default level: 0, only some informal output
1512 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, avi header, function values
1513 - player debug: 2, print avi indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
1514 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
1515 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level-3)
1516 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
1517 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
1518 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
1520 mplayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8 2000
1521 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
1522 - avi: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
1523 - avi: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
1524 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
1525 - avi: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
1526 (disable with -nobps if you want)
1527 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
1528 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
1530 mplayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5 2000
1531 test release, players merged!!!
1532 - avip and mpegp has been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
1533 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
1534 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
1535 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
1536 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
1537 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
1538 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
1539 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
1540 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
1541 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
1543 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
1544 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
1545 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
1546 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
1548 mplayer v0.09: Dec 5 2000
1549 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
1550 - version changed in the files
1553 mplayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3 2000
1554 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
1555 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
1556 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting near-perfect seeking now!
1557 current method calc absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
1559 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
1560 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
1561 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
1565 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
1566 Walken told me that standard mpg/vob streams must NOT use framerate
1567 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
1568 - CRC support to mp3lib's mpeg audio layer-2 decoder
1569 thanks for bugreport & testfile to Samson
1571 mplayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1 2000
1573 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
1574 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
1575 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
1576 [thanks for Christian Birchinger]
1578 mplayer v0.08: Nov 27 2000
1579 Index support, avi seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
1580 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
1581 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
1582 it segfaults if compile optimized code (it does some hacks with
1583 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
1584 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check avi file structure)
1585 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
1586 - termcap usage is optional (for those debian users without termcap)
1587 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
1588 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
1589 - sse is called 'sse' again
1590 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
1591 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
1592 - avi seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
1593 no PTS resync after seek yet.
1594 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
1595 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
1597 mplayer v0.07: Nov 21 2000
1599 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
1600 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
1601 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
1603 mplayer v0.06: Nov 20 2000
1604 Better codec selection
1605 - avi audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
1606 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
1607 - yuv support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle yuv properly
1608 yuv works fine with divx, mpeg4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
1609 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
1610 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
1612 mplayer v0.05: Nov 18 2000
1613 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
1614 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
1615 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
1617 mplayer v0.04: Nov 17 2000
1618 YUV (yuy2) support with divx 3.11 dll, some code cleanup, preview-release
1620 mplayer v0.03: Nov 14 2000

1626 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
1627 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
1628 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
1629 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
1631 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
1632 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great
1633 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
1635 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
1636 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! I've used libmpeg3
1637 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
1638 image quality and speed problems with it.
