2348 exit with message "Recompile mplayer with #undef HAVE_AUDIO_SELECT !"...
2349 - syncfb driver added to the source tree, under drivers/
2350 (it's very similar to mga_vid, but has syncronization to screen and
2351 de-interlace features)
2352 - draw_slice in syncfb finished for G400 cards (plays MPEG-1/2, OpenDivX)
2353 (de-interlacing has been disabled, because it's buggy now)

2397 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
2398 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
2399 - small English fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]
2403 MPlayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4, 2001
2405 - ASF "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
2406 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
2407 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
2408 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2409 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2410 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
2411 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
2412 - ASF seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
2416 MPlayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4, 2001
2418 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for ASF with DivX audio):
2419 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
2420 at low bitrates (usually used for ASF files with DivX audio)
2421 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
2422 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
2423 - opendivx support in ASF files [Gérard Lantau]
2424 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.

2439 small fixes, ASF sync v0.1 :)
2440 - version number incremented :)))
2441 - libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
2442 - ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
2443 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
2444 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2445 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2446 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2447 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2448 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2449 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2450 we will never have a working ASF player...
2451 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
2455 MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001
2456 libvo changes, MPEG bitrate, VCD fix, ASF grouping
2457 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
2458 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
2459 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2460 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2461 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2462 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2463 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2464 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2465 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2466 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2467 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
2468 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
2472 MPlayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30, 2001
2473 ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
2474 - ./configure: use /tmp/main$$.c instead of /tmp.main.c, and
2475 remove file after tests [SaPe]
2476 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fall back on 'pentium'
2477 if it fails (useful for people with old gcc and new CPU :))
2478 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
2479 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
2480 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
2481 (sizeof() changed to strlen()...) [Gabucino]
2482 - AVI writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
2483 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
2484 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (not kbits!) default: 780000)
2485 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
2486 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
2487 - fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
2488 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
2489 (required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
2493 MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
2494 streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix
2495 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now dumps streams to files - needs testing!
2496 (it's ready to be converted to ASF demuxer and integrated into MPlayer)
2497 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now really seeks back to position 0!
2498 - ASF file format detection added (no ASF reading yet!!!)
2499 - ASF demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
2500 > it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((
2501 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
2502 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
2503 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
2504 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
2505 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
2506 causes image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
2507 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
2508 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
2509 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
2512 MPlayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22, 2001
2513 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, AVI seek fixes
2514 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
2515 - AVI file writing support, new option: -encode filename
2516 to encode an MPEG/VOB/VCD to opendivx:
2517 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
2518 (sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
2519 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
2520 - AVI writer: index support
2521 - small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
2522 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
2523 - missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
2524 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
2525 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
2526 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
2527 k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't support k7)
2528 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
2529 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
2532 ** Now we are done with planned features & urgent fixes, **
2533 ** it's time for final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
2537 MPlayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18, 2001
2538 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
2539 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
2540 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
2541 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (CPU %)
2542 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
2546 MPlayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18, 2001
2547 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
2548 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
2549 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
2550 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not working for you...
2551 (I need testfiles, I have only one)
2552 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
2556 MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
2558 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
2559 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
2560 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
2561 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
2562 (now works with DivX files, too)
2563 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
2564 to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
2568 MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
2570 - fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
2571 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
2572 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
2573 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
2577 MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
2578 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
2579 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2580 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2581 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2582 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2583 overlay in it using color keying)
2584 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2585 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2589 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2590 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2591 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2592 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2593 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2594 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2595 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2596 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2597 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2598 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2599 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2600 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2601 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2602 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2604 15bpp C convert memcpy
2605 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2606 24bpp C convert memcpy
2607 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2608 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2612 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2613 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2614 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2615 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2616 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2617 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2618 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2619 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2620 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2621 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2625 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2626 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2627 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2628 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2629 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2630 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2631 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2632 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2633 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2634 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2635 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2636 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2642 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2643 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2644 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2645 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2646 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2647 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2648 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2652 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2655 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2660 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2661 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2662 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2663 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2664 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2668 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2669 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2670 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2671 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2672 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2673 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2674 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2676 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2677 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2678 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2679 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2680 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2681 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2682 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2683 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2684 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2685 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2686 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2687 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2688 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2689 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2692 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2693 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2694 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2695 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2696 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2697 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2698 0 = none (unused yet)
2700 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2701 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2702 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2703 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2705 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2706 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2707 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2708 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2709 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2710 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2714 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2715 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2716 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2717 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2718 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2719 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2720 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2721 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2722 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2723 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2724 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2728 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2730 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2731 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2732 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2733 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2734 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2739 test release, small fixes
2740 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2741 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2742 [thanks to David Whysong]
2747 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2748 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2749 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2750 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2751 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2752 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2753 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2754 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2755 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2756 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2757 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2758 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2762 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2763 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2764 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2765 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2766 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2767 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2768 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2769 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2770 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
2774 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
2775 test release, players merged!!!
2776 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
2777 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
2778 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
2779 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
2780 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
2781 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
2782 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
2783 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
2784 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
2785 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
2787 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
2788 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
2789 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
2790 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
2794 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
2795 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
2796 - version changed in the files
2801 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
2802 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
2803 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
2804 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
2805 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
2807 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
2808 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
2809 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
2815 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
2816 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
2817 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
2818 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
2819 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
2823 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
2825 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
2826 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
2827 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
2828 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
2832 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
2833 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
2834 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
2835 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
2836 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
2837 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
2838 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
2839 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
2840 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
2841 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
2842 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
2843 - sse is called 'sse' again
2844 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
2845 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
2846 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
2847 no PTS resync after seek yet.
2848 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
2849 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
2853 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
2855 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
2856 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
2857 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
2861 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
2862 Better codec selection
2863 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
2864 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
2865 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
2866 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
2867 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
2868 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
2872 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
2873 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player

2894 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
2895 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
2896 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
2897 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
2901 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
2902 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
2903 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
2907 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
2908 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
2909 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
2910 image quality and speed problems with it.
