Changelog :

- Output Parsing bug FIXED.
_ (I think !)

- Option to suppress unwanted audio trackss.
_ File - Save Parts.

- Better detection of Mpeg Audio frame heaaders.
_ Work still in progress.

- Fix calculation of Mpeg Audio frame sizee.

- Leadtek Overlay Key option.
_ If Leadtek Winfast is running in the background in silent mode,
_ it stops Mpg2Cut2 from using it's own Color Key for the overlay.
_ Turn on the following option to force Mpg2Cut2 to use the Leadtek Color Key.
_ __MENU - VIEW - TECHNICAL - DRIVER CONFLICTS - LEADTEK OVL KEY
_ Side effect is that Menus become transparent.

- VHS less ugly during preview.
_ 2 options are available to help when previewing VHS sourved material.
_ These options do *NOT* alter the output file at all.
_ a) Luminance panel "VHS" option limits oversaturated red.
_ b) MENU - VIEW - SPECIAL FX - VHS Convergence.
_ _ _ _ Allows Color to be shifted slightly, relative to luminance.

- Regressed compiler maintenance.
_ My rebuild of the VC-6 environment under XP stuffed up the optimizer.
_ So I have gone back to Win98 for "Release" compiles,
_ until I figure out what went wrong under XP.
_ I suspect the processor pack or one of the SP packs.

- Misc minor changes.

- Warning for Panasonic DVD recorders :-
_I still need to do a lot more work for compatibility.
_E.g. Long clips still seem to have problems for some reason.

- Warning for Satellite users :-
_The Time Stamp correction option is NOT compatible with Satellite.

Change Log for this Alpha :-

Code: [Auswählen]

- Volume Control Slider
__The new [V] button brings up a Volume Control window.
__that has 2 sliders and a number of tick boxes.
__The 1st slider is a conventional volume control.
__The 2nd slider is for the Audio Limiter.
__The Limiter is useful when ads are much louder than the program.
__Boost settings are storeded separately for different types of audio track,
__and will be retained across sessions as an option.
__Misc improvements have been made to Automatic Volume Control (AVC).

- Space bar toggles Play/Pause.
__Previously this only operated if already playing.
__Now it can be used to start playing as well.
__Note that Pause is different to Stop (Esc key),
__as Stop aligns on an I-frame, suitable for From/To marking,
__but Pause just freezes the decoder mid-stream.

- Small change in terminology.
__"Append File" is now called "Add File".

- New Time option - REL and TOD together.
__New option shows both Relative time and recorded Time Of Day together,
__to avoid the need to change back and forth between REL and TOD.
____Menu - Misc - Time Format - REL & TOD.

- Ability to change Luminance button preset values.
__Adjust sliders for the new setting that you want;
__Click the [@] button;
__Then click the button you want changed to this new setting.

- Moved "Swap U-V" and "Negative" into Luminance dialog.
__Originally these were menu options. Now they are buttons.

- Keyboard shortcuts for Luminance buttons [B], [C] and [D].
__Shift-L (B=Bold); Ctrl-L (D=Default); Shift-Ctrl-L (C).
__Alt-L (toggle the Luminance enable on/off).
__Quicker than bringing up the Luminance dialog to click on a button.

- Adjusted processing of command line parameters.
__There is a problem with the "no-confirm" option, so it is turned off.

- Better navigation when average bitrate much lower than Nominal.
__Large jumps will now be calculated using average bitrate rather than nominal.
__Fastback option now updates during preview.

- Drop Padding option extended.
__Drop Padding will now drop Vob NAV Packs as well.
__The option will also temporarily turn on "Parse All Pkts".
__Dropping will be inhibited if saving to VOB format
__or if using Vob Preservation option.

- Selective saving of audio tracks.
__Fixed bugs in the "Save Parts" dialog.
__NOT TESTED MUCH, as I don't have many multi-audio files.

- Transport Stream PID controls cleaned-up.
__When viewing a Transport Stream (TS),
__the Menu - View - PID controls are easier to use.
__Just tick "Current" once you are viewing the PID that you are interested in.
__To go back to seeing all PIDs, tick "All".

- Misc minor changes.
    USAGE NOTE FOR AUDIO LIMITER

If you have the Volume Boost set quite HIGH, (1st slider)
but the Limiter set quite LOW, (2nd slider)
then they will be acting AGAINST each other.
This will provide maximum smoothing of volume levels,
but background noises may become annoying.
EG Traffic noise, people breathing, camera whirr, tape hiss.
So adjust according to your personal taste.

- Warning for Satellite users :-
_The Time Stamp correction option is NOT compatible with Satellite.
