GOTSent 0.24 Beta 7 / 0.23 - Changelog

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 7:

April 21st, 2009

· New .NET based audio decoding engine for users who have experienced audio decoding issues.
· Many fixes in subtitle handling.
· Sound encoding/decoding fixes.
· special note for users who use the options 'mux to vob' and split files: 1 in 5 files can exhibit strange behaviour in the parts after the split (odd colours, stripes). It is advised to use the 'fast mux' flag for these files to prevent this issue. Be advised that this option can result in slow rewind/ffwd performance.

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 6:

February 24th, 2009

· Sounds normalization (sets average audio volume to -12 dB)
· Many fixes in bitrate calculation (was off by a factor 10 in some cases) and fits the file better to the designated size (also fixes in DVD5 and DVD9 sizes)
· MP4box is back as primary mp4 muxer due to issues with the mp4creator.
· Fixes to externally added subtitles (both in recode as for AVCHD)
· Improved header handling for some odd mkv files.
· Can add external SRT subs to AVI files that need a full video recode for PS3 compatibility.

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 5:

October 18th, 2008

· Better handling of oddly named files (including filename clean-up of many commonly used tags in mkv files). (this also takes care of bugs where files would showup as gotsent.mp4 with certain media servers.)
· Reverted to older mencoder to fix many subtitle issues.
· File checking after mp4 creation, and fallback mp4 creation with a different version of mp4box.
· Many fixes in filesize and bitrate calculations (for Xvid and h264 recoding) to make sure the filesize should work.
· Fixed h264 HQ mode.
· Several speed enhancements in MUXtoVOB mode.
· Include all subtitles in AVCHD files (but only if they are .srt based. Inbuilt subtitle format conversion is still being worked on)
· UI cleanup.
· Better handling of odd AVI formats (DivX3 etc etc) in AVI folder conversion mode.

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 4:

August 18th, 2008

· Fixes longstanding error in MP4 muxing with odd file names (the dreaded 'where is my mp4 file???')
· Removed erronous error messages when muxing to mp4 with Nero
· AVI folder converision for PS3 (checks and recodes AVI for QPEL/QMC flag)
· (some AVI files might still not play, select them asa single AVI file for a quick audio recode. Some damaged/odd mp3 files, or DTS/OGG audio can cause this error)
· AVCHD pessimistic fit to DVD when recoding to h264 (the old version would go over 4.3 GB)
· 2 pass h264 encoding option
· Added 'shutdown after conversion' option(shuts down the system after a single or a whole folder conversion)

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 2:

July 8th, 2008

· Fixes in 0.24 beta 2: Directshow audio extraction fix (could cause empty audio files), h264 5.1 recoding to 4.1 for AVCHD files (embeds subtitles in source video due to issues with softsubs on many files).
· Current work: port of directshow audio extraction to C#, to prevent many issues with Vista, and support WMV muxing for VC1 files.

What's new in GOTSent 0.24 Beta 1:

July 5th, 2008

· Includes WMV (vc1) and MKV -> AVCHD conversion for PS3 and stand-alone Blu-ray players.
