2 * Port to perl. Speed boost all around, especially in scandvd.
3 * Internalize all unncessary external calls, remove unneeded dependencies.
4 * Add time estimate on crop detection.
5 * Omit disc cloning by default.
6 * Fix: Output the right file extension in dry run mode.
7 * Fix: Correct subtitle id numbers.
10 * Validate user input.
12 * Setting x:y scaling now allows breaking the original aspect ratio.
13 * Add more exotic codecs.
14 * Add full codectest report with all codecs and containers.
17 * New encvid tool for general purpose encoding/conversion.
18 * Add --version and --adv options.
22 * Add --start and --version options.
23 * Add more codecs and containers.
26 * Add support for ogm container and more containers and codecs based on lavc.
27 * Fix parsing bugs on filenames with quotes, slashes and other special
29 * Use exit code 2 on bad usage.
32 * Support for selecting container format and audio/video codecs.
33 * Add audio codec and bitrate detection in vidstat.
36 * Add support for printing and selecting audio and subtitle numeric ids.
37 * Add long options to clarify usage.
38 * Check that $TERM is sent before outputting shell escapes.
41 * Make subtitle selection optional (off by default).
42 * Fix unpredictable behavior when both -n and -i or -q are set.
43 * Fix cryptic bug when dvd device is set incorrectly.
44 * Fix bug that occurs when crop detection fails. New behavior is to halt.
47 * New switch -c enables autocropping.
48 * Get rid of .sh suffix for executable scripts.
49 * Fix long suspected misbehavior due to non deterministic option parsing.
50 * Add packaging option: publish to ubuntu ppa.
53 * Smarter scaling based on a sensible constant for the number of pixels in a
54 frame of video instead of constant scaling along the width.
55 * Scaling enforces a target framesize of an even number of 16x16 pixel blocks.
56 * Make vidstat more resistant to bad input from video files and omit output of
60 * Bitrate is now set dynamically based on bpp.
61 * New dry-run option -D for undvd to examine encoding parameters.
62 * New tool vidstat to examine video files or dvds.
65 * Add option for disabling picture scaling, also clarify this in the userguide.
66 * undvd no longer needs to write temporary files to /tmp.
69 * Fix problem with color output on black-on-white terminals.
70 * Clarify usage for scandvd.
71 * Use flag check in ebuild would halt emerge prematurely, fixed.
74 * Adding support for vobcopy to clone encrypted dvds. undvd.sh now accepts
75 the -u flag to clone a dvd to disk that otherwise doesn't let itself be copied.
78 * User set bitrate. Bitrate can now be set implicitly by setting an output
79 filesize for the video with the -o switch.
80 * 2-pass encoding. 2-pass encoding is done automatically if the bitrate is set
81 below the default. But 1-pass or 2-pass encoding can always be overriden by
83 * New option to prevent disc cloning before encoding. The -n switch can now
84 be used to skip copying the dvd to the harddrive first, before encoding begins.
85 Useful when low on disk space.
86 * New system sanity check. undvd can now check for all programs it needs by
87 supplying the -c switch. It also checks for codec support.
90 * New install script. While there was no official way of "installing" undvd
91 there is now a makefile with an "install" target, therefore "make install"
92 will deploy the files into the filesystem.
93 * Distribution specific packages:
97 These are all brand new and not well tested.
100 Fixed a bug related to the -i switch in undvd. Also added the -i switch in
101 scandvd, so they now have the same options for source selection.
104 Clarified some of the command line options a bit, added elapsed time. Also
105 added a note about the xine playback bug in the user guide.
