Changes for version 0.28

  • Features:
  • I added a contrib directory to the distribution, currently containing a KSpread file which helps calculating fast resize values. I'm planning to integrate a native and quite more usable version of this sheet to dvd::rip, but maybe this helps someone while this feature is not finished. On the other hand the presets are working well for most DVDs, so this is currently a nice to have feature for me.
  • Bugfixes:
  • avisplit progress bar missed percentage and ETA.
  • fast resize option did not always complain about illegal values, thanks to Christian Lambert <clambert AT csd.sgi.com> for the bug report.

Changes for version 0.28_03

  • Features:
  • Full viewing angle support, requested by Certron DiSoni <certron_80 AT yahoo.com>. You can select the viewing channel after reading the TOC. Only the selected angle will be ripped from the DVD. This way I was able to rip german Star Wars Episode I, with the german intro.
  • Bugfixes:
  • transcode progress bar missed percentage and ETA.

Changes for version 0.28_02

  • Again a pre-release due to major changes in the progress module and chapter mode code. Please test it. Thanks.
  • Features:
  • enhanced chapter mode suggested by Tim Currie <jtcurrie AT mediaone.net>: dvd::rip now shows a multi selection list of avaiable chapters per title. Now you can decide which chapters should be ripped and transcoded. Currently no progress bar is shown in the chapter selection mode, only the elapsed time will be printed. Also avisplit is currently not available in chapter mode. I'm not shure, if transcode reports the correct number of chapters. Often the higher chapters are empty or at least *very* short.
  • major code cleanup in the progress bar module. Among other things a Gtk input handler is used instead of a Gtk idle function. This way the GUI responses much better. Also all calculations (elapsed time, ETA, fps) are done by dvd::rip now and available for all tasks.
  • Bugfixes:
  • fixed chapter mode transcoding progress bar / logging problem
  • dvd::rip failed if the project path was not absolute. Thanks to George Farris <george AT gmsys.com> for the report.

Changes for version 0.28_01

  • This is a pre release for testing the new Chapter Mode feature. Please use this version only, if you're interested in this feature or if you want to test it in general. Also non-Chapter-Mode ripping may be affected or buggy.
  • Features:
  • Chapter Mode, suggested by Norbert Preining. You have to enable this on the RIP Title Tab before ripping, because each chapter will be ripped into a separate directory. Transcoding in chapter mode will lead to one AVI file for each chapter. The progress bar guesses sometimes wrong, but the result should be Ok. Splitting in Chapter Mode is not supported and makes no sense in general.
  • removed the tcprobe-random-title-permutation workaround, because this tcprobe bug is fixed in transcode 0.5.3
  • Bugfixes:
  • dvd::rip didn't work with transcode 0.5.3 due to changes of tcprobe output. Thanks to Thomas Speck <thomas-speck AT gmx.de> for his bug report. This release has a workaround fixing this problem. Another solution is to patch transcode 0.5.3 with a patch published by Thomas Östreich on his transcode homepage.
