· * * Improvments:
· Better detection of movie clips with multiple audio streams (BivX, OGM, MKV, etc...)
· Better detection of the movie clip aspect ratio
· The resize/cropping functions have been made more intuitive
· Now PocketDivXEncoder isn't based on the cygwin libraries anymore. The bug of the progressbar that stays at "0%" for example is fixed.
· Lowered the executable file size of 15%.
· Improved internationnal support (default charset for subtitles, Asian filenames, ...)
· Completely recompiled the background encoding engine (mencoder) : now PDE supports a lot of new video standards (dv, mkv, dat, swf, ...).
· Some improvements in speed and stability of the encoding engine (some bugs corrected)
· PocketDivXEncoder is no more based on the codecs that are in your system. It includes its own codecs.
· Rewrote the readme file
· Removed the Comics fonts
· More subtitles formats supported
· Moved on to the latest CVS version of FFMPEG
· Removed the last task performed by VirtualDub --> the EXE file is smaller and no more error messages like this one : "Couldn't locate decompressor for format DX50 (UNKNOWN)".
· Now the Task lists has an horizontal scrollbar...
· Now the resize filter is "Lanczos" (best quality - speed a little slower)
· Now you can send a bug report with the Log attached.
· Now when the input video can't be edited into PocketDivXEncoder, pictures are displayed instead.
· Now the default output resolution is set to the max between the input clip resolution and the dimensions of the chosen device.
· Now the default video bitrate is lowered to the input bitrate in order not to obtain an output file bigger than the input file.
· Now the default audio quality is set to fit the input file audio quality.
· Completely changed the way the different languages are managed : now the different languages are stored in some ini files. If you want to create your own language, just use the "test" template and edit the test.ini file in your Temp directory. Then send me the ini file you created !
· * * Bugs corrected:
· Corrected an important bug that was creating some audio/video synchronization problems
· Corrected some random crash (especially for resize and crop windows)

· Corrected a bug : sometimes PocketDivXEncoder failed when proposing the different audio streams to encode.
· Corrected a bug : movie files were sometimes not compressed well when choosing XviD 2-pass

· Now the videos are playable on the Archos JBMM20 (they weren't before, it was a bug !)... [ read full changelog ]
