Revision history for Perl extension Video::DVDRip
0.26 Sun Dec 16 2001, joern
Bugfix:
- tar.gz distribution was incomplete. Updated MANIFEST.
0.25 Sat Dec 15 2001, joern
Features:
- create logfile of all processes, display it in a separate
logging tab
- renamed "Snapshot Directory" to "Temp Directory", because
it's used not only for the snapshot images. DivX4 analyze logs
and the dvd::rip log are also stored here.
Bugfixes:
- "transcode & split" did not work
- spaces in project name not allowed, thanks to
Matthias Rieber <matthias AT lsoe.uni-karlsruhe.de>
for the bug report. dvd::rip did not work correctly
with spaces in the project name. Checking of other
user supplied values is still on my TODO list.
0.24 Thu Dec 13 2001, joern
Just a major release, no changes since pre-release.
0.24_02 Tue Dec 11 2001, joern
Features:
- You can open a debugging window, which shows all transcode
commands executed by dvd::rip by pressing Ctrl+T or selecting the
"Debug/Show Transcode Commands..." menu item. Thanks to
Norbert Preining for his suggestion. This should help finding
bugs in dvd::rip, where wrong transcode options are genereated,
or something similar.
- modified 16:9 anamorph fast resizing Preset: added 2nd Clipping
to get rid of 4 black top and bottom lines
- Added a transcode title number field to the rip tab. This way
you can workaround the transcode/libdvdread bug which results
to wrong assigned titles. Please use this with care and only
if you know, what you do. This fields changes only the title
number passed to all transcode commands. The dvd::rip filenames
will be named with the orignally (maybe wrong) scanned title nr.
Thanks to Bjoern Buerger <b.buerger AT tu-bs.de> for his
suggestion.
Bugfixes:
- Preset "16:9 Anam. Enc., No Letterbox, Fast Resize" did not
switch fast resizing on
- Fast Resizing: 32 pixel boundary must be given only for
axes which are resized. Thanks to Norbert Preining for
his patch.
- dvd::rip now checks, whether VOB files are already ripped,
even if the project file says, they're not (e.g. if you
forget to save after ripping, restart dvd::rip and create
a new project for this DVD). Thanks to Norbert Preining
for the hint.
- dvd::rip now checks if the needed programs (transcode,
ImageMagick etc.) are installed and complains if not.
Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz AT astrouw.edu.pl> for his
bugreport.
0.23 Sun Dec 09 2001, joern
Bugfixes:
- fast resizing: 32 pixel boundary check ommited checking the
clip1 size
- transcode progress label did always show the "split afterwards"
message, even if started without splitting.
0.22 Sun Dec 09 2001, joern
Bugfixes:
- applied Perl 5.005 patch supplied by Norbert
Preining <preining AT logic.at>. Thanks.
- DVD read-toc code always tried a mount, even if the
DVD was already mounted. This could confuse systems
using automounter.
New Features:
- Support of the fast resizing algorithm of transcode
(transcode-0.5.2-20011206 is recommended because of
a bug in the horizontal fast resize code in earlier
versions). Fast resizing presumes 32 pixel boundaries.
If you break with this rule, you'll get an error window
on transcoding. I'm planning a wizard which helps
calculating the correct values, because this can be a
brain squeezing task ;)
- Added two new Presets for anamorph transcoding using the
fast resizing algorithm. They should bypass the time,
until the fast resizing wizard is finished.
- Support of multipass DivX encoding.
- Added a button to the Transcode tab for viewing the
transcoded non-splitted AVI file.
- transcode progress label shows, whether started with or
without splitting
0.21 Sat Dec 01 2001, joern
Bugfixes:
- fixed color problem with snapshot images
New Features:
- transcode 0.5.1 supports 4GB AVI files, so max.
filesize for the bitrate suggestion is now 4000 MB
(was 2000 MB with transcode 0.5.0)
0.20 Tue Nov 27 2001, joern
- First public release. Should be usable but is not tested
with thousands of DVDs.
