New in SmartFFmpeg 1.5.0 (Apr 13, 2021)

- Option to apply the DateModified timestamp from source to target file.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.4.0 (Oct 25, 2018)

New in SmartFFmpeg 1.3.4 (Aug 10, 2015)
- Separation of default-presets (by me) and user-presets. Default-presets could be updated via internet then. User-presets will stay unchanged during that update.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.3.3 (May 27, 2014)
- Threads option now allows 0, which should be automatic optimization, like 1 thread per core?
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.3.2 (May 27, 2014)
- In the Info-menu you can now call several help functions of ffmpeg without any file being processed. Good to look up options if you have to specify some custom ones.
- If you specify extra input files in the "Custom input options" and you give them NO path, SmartFFmpeg assumes the same path as the master input file (from the list).
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.3.1 (May 27, 2014)
- "From Timecode" now defaults to 00:00:00, if only "To Timecode" is set to a value.

- Adaptions to new version of ffmpeg. Elapsed time is not given as seconds anymore, but as HH:MM:SS.ss. ProgessBar can now update from both.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.8 (May 27, 2014)
- Bugfix: Abort on overwrite question did not work properly and left the UI elements disabled.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.7 (May 27, 2014)
- Bugfix: If at least one task has been run before, SmartFFmpeg could crash (exception), if processing is aborted (via menu), if no task is actually being executed. Fixed + abort menu items are disabled, if no task is being executed.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.6 (May 27, 2014)
- Bugfix: If SmartUpdater.exe could not be deleted on startup after an update, the exception is caught and SmartUpdater is going to be deleted next time. (For future updates)
- Separation of Config and Presets. New Presets.ini. All presets are copied, don't worry.
- Bugfix: A preset name could be used multiple times. Only the first one was loaded on next startup and the others were lost then. Fixed.
- New structure of the Formats.txt. A proper extension can specified now, and not guessed from the format code. This affects also UserFormats.txt. Formats.txt must be downloaded manually from website! (included in the zip)
- Preset deletion must be confirmed in a message box now.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.5 (May 27, 2014)
- Bugfix: If the first size (dimension) was selected (the empty entry), SmartFFmpeg added "-s" with no size to the command resulting in "Incorrect frame size".
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.4 (May 27, 2014)
- Improvements on performance. The Output-window took too much CPU time when containing many log-lines. The behaviour has been changed. The current line (work status, fps, kbps ...) is displayed in a separate TextBox now and the method how text is added to the log-TextBox has been changed.
- The Dimensions-Box is now writable. Unusual dimensions can be set more easily now.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.3.29569 (Jan 9, 2010)
- The ffmpeg-DOS box was replaced by an internal window, displaying the ffmpeg output. Includes a progress bar.
- Known bugs:
- The overwrite message is not displayed until a key is pressed. FFmpeg simply doesn't seem to output it. So, when the log seems halted, confirm with Y or N to answer the "hidden" overwrite question. Sorry
- The progress bar does not recognize a limitation of frames to process. At the moment, it assumes the full duration as 100%.
- If not autoscrolling in output window, the log jumps to the top on update.
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.2.0.40907 (Oct 2, 2009)
- Improved thread handling. Fixed the parallel starting jobs problem for good this time
- Overwrite-check box now applies reliably to all tasks.
- Threads-field applies per taks now, but is not stored in profiles.

New in SmartFFmpeg 1.1.6.27306 (Mar 2, 2009)
- Thread handling improved. Main window controls are now disabled during FFmpeg processing in own thread
- Number of threads used by ffmpeg are now selectable. (Autodetection of available cores of current CPU(s)
New in SmartFFmpeg 1.1.4.37909 (Feb 4, 2009)
- Group-box "Options" changed to "Conversion-settings"
- If "Suggest output filenames" is active, the Format-Box does not change the path anymore, only extension
