0.50.14 - [stable branch] - Sun 29 Jun 2003, joern Features: - transcode >= 0.6.6 sets mpeg2enc -I 0 by default, but older versions doesn't. This speeds up things signifcantly, because now mpeg2enc skips deinterlace processing (it was done even for non-interlaced material and wasted time). dvd::rip now sets -I0, too. Thanks for the hint to Simone Lehmann - Warn about AVI files >2GB and set transcode option --avi_limit 9999, otherwise transcode splits automatically at 2GB. Bugfixes: - NTSC A/V sync enhancement: dvd::rip's -x vob,null transcode option in the 1st pass of a multipass transcoding was good for performance, but could be bad for A/V sync with some NTSC material, because the audio information is always needed for proper synchronisation. Thanks to Florin and Tilmann for figuring this out. - NTSC: -M2 isn't set anymore by dvd::rip, because transcode does autodetect this. Thanks to Tilmann for the hint. - Fixed a small mismatch (about 1%) in the audio size calculation, which affected video bitrate calculation. Thanks for the report to Charles François Rey <charlesfr.rey AT epfl.ch>. - Automatic setting of PERLIO=stdio failed, if PERLIO was already set to some value. Thanks for the report to Richard Kilgore <rkilgore AT hotpop.com>. - Progress bar was messed up with PSU core. Thanks for the report to Tyler <dvdrip AT unixgod.net> and Florin. - NTSC: resolution was set to 720x480, even if the movie had 704x480. dvd::rip now sets no resolution at all, because transcode autodetects the resolution. Thanks for the report to Francisco J. León <fleona AT cantv.net>.
