New in XenonMKV Build 20081123_35 (Nov 24, 2008)

  • [FIXED] Scratch folder location now more restrictive and resilient. If any problems come up, XenonMKV now takes the safe route.
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,189.0.html
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,173.0.html
  • and similar threads
  • [ADDED] Option to output file names in all uppercase for LaCie drives:
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,50.msg1119.html#msg1119
  • [ADDED] Options button now more prominent in main window:
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,50.msg1024.html#msg1024
  • [ADDED] Remember window size and position when exiting application:
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,179.0.html
  • Limitation: Position saving may not work as expected on leftmost or topmost monitors from primary in multi-monitor setups.
  • When set to a negative top or left position in pixels, the window will snap back to default settings.
  • No workaround possible at this time. Requires further testing.
  • [ADDED] Detection of file compatibility/reference frames before video is split.
  • Limitation: if the file has multiple video tracks of different sizes, this may falsely flag a video.
  • The initial detection takes the first track that contains a width/height parameter in the original MKV.
  • Workaround: Disable reference frame/Xbox 360 compatibility check.
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,181.0.html
  • [FIXED] Custom split timeline and text box now synchronized.
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,178.0.html

  • [ADDED] Command line support for scripting. Parameters are:
  • XenonMKV.exe -inputfile X:path oinput.mkv -outputfolder X:output
  • XenonMKV.exe -inputfolder X:pathmkvs -outputfolder X:output
  • Limitation: Support for this hasn't been tested too heavily. Console output isn't quite there yet.
  • It will probably brick itself if you try anything too fancy or use these commands out of order.
  • [OUTSTANDING ISSUES]
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,158.0.html
  • Track ordering: track 2 video, track 1 audio needs further investigation

New in XenonMKV Build 20080827_34 (Sep 29, 2008)

  • [FIXED] Changed Nero AAC encoder extraction routine to work properly with new encoder.
  • Thanks to everyone on the forums who helped with this, especially DWells55 in this post:
  • http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,167.msg987.html#msg987
  • [CHANGED] Removed SSE encoder options since the AAC encoder automatically detects this condition.
  • [CHANGED] Enforced a “temp” directory if a user selects the root of a drive for a scratch folder.
  • Thanks to RadioHowie from the forums for this report.
  • [CHANGED] Convert Folder UI now properly enables the Start button once a valid folder is selected.
  • Thanks to Dangelus and RadioHowie from the forums for investigating.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080824_33 (Aug 25, 2008)

  • [FIXED] Conversions from strings to doubles should now be more appropriate. Bug 2071837.
  • [FIXED] Changed UI control text in XML file to 'log all tool output'.
  • [ADDED] More information displayed when the video pixel aspect ratio (PAR) is rounded up or down.
  • [ADDED] Custom display aspect ratio selector for files. Feature req 2072032.
  • [FIXED] Fixed pixel aspect ratio rounding code to be more effective and less likely to round inappropriately.
  • [FIXED] Manual track selection is much improved and should now always pick the correct codec string. Bug 2072083.
  • [ADDED] A_MS/ACM untagged audio is now recognized as MP3, which appears to be the most common format for this type. Feature req 2072095.
  • [FIXED] Audio and video tracks set to -1 will not display a message if an operation is cancelled.
  • [ADDED] Video dimensions now logged for troubleshooting purposes.
  • [FIXED] Clarified display aspect ratio versus frame size/video aspect ratio. (Read this post for details: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic174200.html)
  • [FIXED] Allow Network Path now set as default setting and box appears checked on application reload if set.
  • [FIXED] Updated Web URL and 404 error support in Help > Check for Update.
  • [FIXED] Some string updates to english.xml.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080722_32 (Jul 22, 2008)

  • [ADDED] Additional logging for each process that is threaded off.
  • [FIXED] mp4box version 0.4.5/April build now displays a proper launch message.
  • [ADDED] A_MPEG/L3 file support added with an �g.mp3�� file extension.
  • [ADDED] Error handling for aspect ratio parsing process (�hdivide by zero�h error.)
  • [FIXED] Added default FPS insertion in the event the FPS could not be parsed.
  • [FIXED] Changed handling of track identifiers. Tracks are now globally managed.
  • [FIXED] Video codec is now detected properly when track selection dialog box appears.
  • [ADDED] Check for update option in Help > Check for Update.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080706_31 (Jul 7, 2008)

  • [CHANGED] �Show all tool output� option now logs output, causing the UI to remain responsive even during chatty tool sessions.
  • [FIXED] mp4box 0.4.4 fallback now should not cause an infinite loop during postprocessing.
  • [ADDED] mp4box output method: can output to scratch folder, then move; or output directly to destination folder.
  • [ADDED] mkvmerge now supports safe synchronization option to correct for potential audio/video desynchronization.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080629_29 (Jul 1, 2008)

  • [FIXED] 4/3 aspect ratio bug - 4:3 files are now processed with an aspect ratio of 1.333.
  • [ADDED] Option to round up pixel aspect ratios to 1:1 if within 98% tolerance. This should provide better compatibility for videos with a 2.35 aspect ratio. This setting is on by default.
  • [FIXED] mp4box now directly outputs files to the final directory. This eliminates the need for the file move process and should provide a workaround for anyone experiencing a FileNotFoundException. As a result, the Move Output File option has been disabled from view since it no longer has any effect.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080627_28 (Squared Away) (Jun 27, 2008)

  • [FIXED] Exception occurring preventing conversion of files with AC3 audio.
  • This version should actually work for most people. Apologies to all who slit their wrists, took some pills, drowned themselves in bathtubs� or gave up all hope and listened to My Chemical Romance because of this.
  • [ADDED] Even more debugging information. All builds now display global Exception messages, which should help in tracking down any remaining miscellaneous bugs.
  • [ADDED] Option to directly read files or folders on UNC network paths.
  • Scratch folders must still be local to the current system. Keep in mind that the entire file will be read off the network, so this will be a much slower process if you�re not on a Gigabit setup

New in XenonMKV Build 20080621_27 (Squared Away) (Jun 23, 2008)

  • [ADDED] Azid normalization options now present for AC3 downmixing.
  • [ADDED] Option to avoid moving output file from the temporary folder. This should temporarily solve people�s issues with FileNotFoundException messages - just uncheck the �Move Output File� box from the Tools menu.
  • This probably won�t be too useful with split files, but be aware that I�m still looking into this.
  • [ADDED] MKV compatibility checker. Will determine if your file is
  • definitely out of specification for the Xbox 360 and alert you that it may not play properly. These types of files require re-encoding.
  • [ADDED] Additional debugging capabilities for people experiencing
  • FileNotFoundException messages. This should help me track down this pesky bug. I suspect it has something to do with scratch folders but need more reports in order to take care of it.

New in XenonMKV Build 20080524_25 (Squared Away) (May 26, 2008)

  • [FIXED] Major glitch in which file move operations failed. I�m
  • honestly ashamed that this wasn�t tracked down sooner, but it�s
  • fairly critical and has since been resolved.
  • [FIXED] Nero AAC Encoder download now properly handles the case where
  • Nero�s FTP site is inaccessible.
  • [CHANGED] Moved mp4box build option to Tools tab.
  • [REMOVED] Debug tab from Options dialog.
  • [CHANGED] Moved �Delete Temporary Files� option from Debug menu to
  • Tools menu.
  • [REMOVED] Debug menu no longer required.
  • [ADDED] Added mediainfo component to application.
  • [ADDED] Support for aspect ratio detection and correction. A new
  • message in the logfile will appear with this information.
  • [FIXED] Some log messages now display the proper icon (wait, complete.)
