2 * Reclassify lsdvd as soft dependency, can now use scandvd without it.
3 * vidstat: compute bitrate if possible.
4 * Fix outpug bug on cygwin.
7 * Posix compatibility. Tested on FreeBSD, Solaris, OS X, Cygwin.
10 * Port to perl. Speed boost all around, especially in scandvd.
11 * Internalize all unncessary external calls, remove unneeded dependencies.
12 * Add time estimate on crop detection.
13 * Omit disc cloning by default.
14 * Fix: Output the right file extension in dry run mode.
15 * Fix: Correct subtitle id numbers.
18 * Validate user input.
20 * Setting x:y scaling now allows breaking the original aspect ratio.
21 * Add more exotic codecs.
22 * Add full codectest report with all codecs and containers.
25 * New encvid tool for general purpose encoding/conversion.
26 * Add --version and --adv options.
30 * Add --start and --version options.
31 * Add more codecs and containers.
34 * Add support for ogm container and more containers and codecs based on lavc.
35 * Fix parsing bugs on filenames with quotes, slashes and other special
37 * Use exit code 2 on bad usage.
40 * Support for selecting container format and audio/video codecs.
41 * Add audio codec and bitrate detection in vidstat.
44 * Add support for printing and selecting audio and subtitle numeric ids.
45 * Add long options to clarify usage.
46 * Check that $TERM is sent before outputting shell escapes.
49 * Make subtitle selection optional (off by default).
50 * Fix unpredictable behavior when both -n and -i or -q are set.
51 * Fix cryptic bug when dvd device is set incorrectly.
52 * Fix bug that occurs when crop detection fails. New behavior is to halt.
55 * New switch -c enables autocropping.
56 * Get rid of .sh suffix for executable scripts.
57 * Fix long suspected misbehavior due to non deterministic option parsing.
58 * Add packaging option: publish to ubuntu ppa.
61 * Smarter scaling based on a sensible constant for the number of pixels in a
62 frame of video instead of constant scaling along the width.
63 * Scaling enforces a target framesize of an even number of 16x16 pixel blocks.
64 * Make vidstat more resistant to bad input from video files and omit output of
68 * Bitrate is now set dynamically based on bpp.
69 * New dry-run option -D for undvd to examine encoding parameters.
70 * New tool vidstat to examine video files or dvds.
73 * Add option for disabling picture scaling, also clarify this in the userguide.
74 * undvd no longer needs to write temporary files to /tmp.
77 * Fix problem with color output on black-on-white terminals.
78 * Clarify usage for scandvd.
79 * Use flag check in ebuild would halt emerge prematurely, fixed.
82 * Adding support for vobcopy to clone encrypted dvds. undvd.sh now accepts
83 the -u flag to clone a dvd to disk that otherwise doesn't let itself be copied.
86 * User set bitrate. Bitrate can now be set implicitly by setting an output
87 filesize for the video with the -o switch.
88 * 2-pass encoding. 2-pass encoding is done automatically if the bitrate is set
89 below the default. But 1-pass or 2-pass encoding can always be overriden by
91 * New option to prevent disc cloning before encoding. The -n switch can now
92 be used to skip copying the dvd to the harddrive first, before encoding begins.
93 Useful when low on disk space.
94 * New system sanity check. undvd can now check for all programs it needs by
95 supplying the -c switch. It also checks for codec support.
98 * New install script. While there was no official way of "installing" undvd
99 there is now a makefile with an "install" target, therefore "make install"
100 will deploy the files into the filesystem.
101 * Distribution specific packages:
105 These are all brand new and not well tested.
108 Fixed a bug related to the -i switch in undvd. Also added the -i switch in
109 scandvd, so they now have the same options for source selection.
112 Clarified some of the command line options a bit, added elapsed time. Also
113 added a note about the xine playback bug in the user guide.
