New in DVDx 2.10 (Dec 28, 2008)

  • Shutdown computer when job is done:
  • added this option in Settings menu so it can be changed during encoding.
  • added a count-down dialog that allows the user to cancel within 30 seconds.
  • added a checkbox option to get a shutdown count-down silent or beeping.
  • Input settings dialog window:
  • a little enlarged vertically for more readability and to add the new option to get a silent or beeping shutdown count-down.
  • WMV encoding:
  • added volume splitting feature (which wasn't done yet for WMV format).
  • fixed encoding by chapter feature (each volume was limited to 5 seconds).
  • added new widescreen profiles for Archos Generation 4 (Archos 604 at 480x272 on 4.3" wide screen and Archos 404 at 320x240 on 3.5" screen).
  • added more explicit error messages when begin writing the WMV output file, and display numerical error code for other non-explicit cases (error codes can be retrieved in the nserror.h of the WMFSDK).
  • AVI codec settings:
  • fixed the 'wrong settings block for AVI video codec' warning message on DivX2-pass encoding when using video tab codec parameters (actualy when pass 1 and pass 2 block sizes were different). Modified AVIGetCodecSetting() code and AVIInitVideoCodec() code so most meaningless 'wrong settings block' issues should be fixed. ICSetState test is skipped for Xvid codec because it always returns zero while it should return the number of bytes used to set the codec.
  • Headers file added in AVI_LIB from Xvid 1.1.3 vfw module: config.h, xvid.h and vfwext.h
  • change output estimation for Xvid because desired_size and target_size can't be trusted (not zero when quantization is selected, neither a flag to check).
  • Multilanguages:
  • added some menu items in language files: Preview aspect, 4/3, 16/9, Free,
  • Shutdown when finished.
  • modifyed RefreshLanguage() method of main window (CMpeg_encodeDlg) to load the translations of these new menu items. Also added one new item loaded in input settings section for the new "countdown beep" translation.

  • multiple DVDx ripped on hard drive.
  • - Now display MPEG (VOB) file name without path in the MPEG2 file scanning
  • progress window (required for long path current for DVDs ripped on hard drive).
  • Packaging:
  • - For some obscur reasons, my new compilation configuration failed to
  • link Debug and DebugP4 object files because of their debugging data ;
  • so Debug and DebugP4 binaries bundled with 2.7Ultra Edition are 2.6 builds.

New in DVDx 2.6 (Dec 18, 2006)

  • Packaging:
  • - Ultra Edition now contains a Tools menu with all DVDx binaries (Debug,
  • DebugP4, NoOptimization and RipperFree), so any user will able to run a
  • debug version to tackle bugs.

  • - "No upgrade" package is deprecated.
  • Bug fix:
  • - DVDx silently crashes when exiting Input Settings with 44.1KHz or 48.0KHz
  • (no conversion) option. So now you can try these modes to workaround
  • audio/video synchronization issues.
  • Debug builds:
  • - thanks to the new compilation platform, both Debug and DebugP4 configurations
  • can be built.
  • Compilation:
  • - update compilation platform to Visual Studio 2005 Professional (VS8) and
  • Intel C Compiler 9.1

  • Packaging: - DVDx is "ripper free" and now called "DVDx standard version" while another version called DVDx Ultra Edition can copy any DVD thanks to the legacy DeCSS and De-Macrovosion capabilities.
  • Improved DVD Native IO Access: - Use SPTI for native IO access. Deprecating ASPI - Added more compatibility and smoother DVD initialization Improved DVD Decoding: - Realtime dynamic framerate detection - Adaptive framerate support - Better NTSC DVD unregular telecine support - Better audio, video synchronization algorithm The above improvement will solve many a/v out-of-sync problem repeated reported by users since the version 1.0 release.
  • More Output Format Supported: - Added support for WMA 9.1 and WMV9, compress videos up to 50% smaller than previous versions under the same video quality - Added more options for mp3 GUI: - Added WMV combo and configuration panel in Output Settings dialog - Automatically switch off ASPI and use SPTI on Windows NT/2000/XP - Change the default 10000 maxframe to the whole video length Language files: - Added new item in lang_eng.txt - Translated new item in other language files - Corrected error messages @69 and @70 in lang_eng.txt Coding & Compilation: - Fixed some hidden bugs which cause unexpected behaviour during video decoding and conversion - Corrected working directory to access Readme_1st, Skins and Language files consistently in "no upgrade" installations - Added a VC6 macro for automatic build numbering and moved version information in mpeg_encode.rc2 and VersionNo.h (the rightest version digit is use to carry the build number, starting as of 1000 for Jim's builds) - Set version (with build) number automatically in About Dialog at compilation - Update LAME DLL to 3.97.0.2 - Support ripper free (Define RIPPER_FREE in mpeg_encode project)
