Changes.0.46  view on Meta::CPAN

	  Some older versions have a bug with chapter selection
	  which crashes dvd::rip's ripping procedure.
	  
	Features:
	- dvdrip command now supports --version (or -version or -v)
	  to print the version number, suggested by Michael Bushey
	- unexpected error message with command output are now
	  displayed in a textarea, so they're cut and pastable
	  (better for bug reporting ;)

	Bugfixes:
	- many enhancements regarding the handling of
	  unexpected errors
	  - no need to cancel the operation manually anymore
	  - error output of some commands was missing
	  - dvd::rip consumed 99% of CPU, thanks for the report
	    to Andreas Theofilu <andreas AT mehlbox.at>. I didn't
	    really solved this problem but added a workaround
	    which should help in most situations. Otherwise
	    you should restart dvd::rip after a fatal error which
	    let dvd::rip itself occupating the whole CPU. This seems
	    to be a very strange bug around Gtk::input_add...
	- cluster mode transcode progress information was messed up
	  due to slightly changes of transcode's output format.
	- newer versions of avisplit croak on absolute filename
	  parameters (I reported this already as a bug to Thomas),
	  so dvd::rip now changes into the data directory and uses
	  relative filenames. Thanks to Davide Ferrari for his bug
	  report.
	- mplex segfaulted if Transcode+Split was chosen (used %s
	  instead of %d in the output pattern)
	- VCD mode: --export-asr is set to 2 instead of 1. Thanks
	  for the hint to Andreas Theofilu
	
0.40_01 Sat May 11 2002, joern
	Note:
	- this and all subsequent dvd::rip releases require transcode
	  0.6.0pre4 or better.

	Features:
	- added a Credits file, which lists all users who helped me
	  making dvd::rip a better tool.
	- added "divx5" to the video codec popup
	- chapter mode has now
	  - (S)VCD transcoding
	  - transcode progress information (you need to rip the
	    chapters again until this works)

	Bugfixes:
	- dvd::rip didn't confirm program exit in case of unsaved
	  changes if the window was closed using the window manager
	  Thanks to Davide "Vide" Ferrari <bshark AT libero.it>
	  for his bug report.
	- appending transcode options did not work if a negative
	  nice value was given. Thanks to Torsten Howard for his
	  bugreport.
	- (S)VCD mode:
	  - splitting using mplex -S often results in smaller chunks.
	    I added -M to prevent that (must be tested, don't know if
	    this really solves the problem). Also there was a %s missing
	    in mplex's file output pattern, which made split mode fail.
	    Thanks to Michael Bushey <dvdrip AT michael.mailshell.com>
	    for his report.
	  - disc size popup was disabled in VCD mode, which made
	    it impossible to select a proper disc size for splitting.
	- fixed a progress bug in chapter mode 'all' ripping
	
0.39 Sat Apr 27 2002, joern
	Bugfixes:
	- "4:3 No Letterbox, Fast Resize" preset violated
	  shrink/expand fast resize rule.
	- VCD did produce anamorphic result, which isn't supported
	  by the spec. The frame is now resized with aspect ratio correction,
	  --export-asr is set to 1 so signal that the movie has already
	  the correct aspect ratio. SVCD presets still result in anamorphic
	  videos. This isn't currently tested for NTSC, but should work.

0.39_05 Wed Apr 17 2002, joern
	Features:
	- Cluster mode:
	  - improved Node test. Unrecognized output from the client
	    is reported, which helps solving unusual ssh problems

	Bugfixes:
	- Cluster mode: transcode test was broken
	- (S)VCD mode: use --export_asr to set correct aspect ratio
	  for the generated mpeg file. Thanks to Uwe Fischer
	  <uwe.fischer AT berlin.de> for his hint and extensive
	  feedback on (S)VCD mode.
	- VCD was broken, it was in fact a somewhat reduced SVCD rip.
	  This one was reported by Uwe Fischer, too.

0.39_04 Wed Apr 10 2002, joern
	Features:
	- rip a multiple selection of titles at once, suggested by
	  Hrvoje Husic <husic AT zyn.de>. First adjust options
	  (audio, viewing angle, chapter mode) for each title, then
	  select all titles using Ctrl and/or Shift key and press
	  "Rip Selected Title(s)" as usual and all titles are ripped
	  without interception, each with the options you specified
	  before.

	Bugfixes:
	- audio bitrate parameters were not passed to transcode in
	  cluster mode. Thanks to Rainer Lay for the bug report.

0.39_03 Tue Apr 9 2002, joern
	Bugfixes:
	- convert NTSC framerate 29.97 to -f 30,4 instead of -f 30,1.
	  Thanks to Thomas Östreich for the hint.

0.39_02 Sun Apr 7 2002, joern
	Features:
	- added 160 kbit/s to audio bitrate popup, requested by
	  Christian Lambert
	- frame rate values 23.976 and 29.97 are interally converted
	  to transcode's -f 24,1 (resp. 30,1), so transcode calculates
	  with exact values for NTSC movies. With transcode 0.6.0pre5-*
	  you can try to ommit the framerate completely, because these
	  transcode versions do a better job with autodetecting.
	  Thanks to Christian Lambert for his hint.
