Changelog

Version 1.2.2.1

Fixed: Bug in subtitle multiplexing that caused the encoding to abort.
Fixed: Bug that caused authoring to fail on destination folders with an apostrophe.
Fixed: Multiple subtitle tracks would cause the subtitle muxing stage to abort.
Changed: Updated FFMPEG.
Changed: NTFS recommended warning now always occurs.

Version 1.2.2.0

Added: A completely new subtitle reader and renderer.
Added: Better syncing of audio and video.
Added: Reminder that a blank disc needs to be inserted when burning project to disc.
Added: Options to use a title's chapter settings as defaults and to apply them to all other titles in a project.
Added: The option to create chapters on every new video source is no longer exclusive.
Added: Option to change the sound volume by percentage.
Added: Option to upmix mono or stereo sound to 5.1 surround.
Changed: Reworked project settings dialog for more room for options.
Changed: Warnings when a project destination path is used with extended ASCII characters, dvdauthor is not being very cooperative about these.
Changed: Hopefully better support for displaying Unicode filenames.
Changed: Visual refresh of logo and saturation change on icons.
Fixed: Bitrate was fixed to 6000 Kbit/s before, which could lead to oversized discs and other oddities.
Fixed: Forcing subtitles actually works now.
Fixed: Bug that caused PAL DVDs to have wrong heights therefore not work in most DVD players.
Fixed: Framerate misreported on computers that used commas as decimal separator.
Fixed: Bug when selecting multiple files.
Fixed: Adding certain types of files to a project could lead to a subscript out of range error.
Fixed: Possible audio delay on AVI files was always detected as -1 ms.

Version 1.2.1.4

Added: Improved support for MPEG type container files.
Added: Option to specify the amount of threads FFMPEG uses. This is set to the number of logical CPUs by default. Multi-core and (less so) HyperThreading CPUs will get a significant speed boost from this when encoding video.
Added: Detects iTunes DRM encrypted files and says they cannot be encoded.
Added: Options to select what should be done when a title has finished playing, as well as whether or not to loop the DVD's playback.
Added: Option to force re-encoding of MPEG2 video even if it looks to be MPEG2 compliant.
Added: Option to change encoder process priority during encoding.
Added: Option to force a subtitle to be displayed.
Added: Better support for interlaced file sources.
Changed: It is no longer possible to combine video sources together into one title which are not of equal width, height, framerate and compression.
Changed: errorlog.txt is generated with all the other encoding log files' most important info in it and more.
Changed: Folder deletion before encoding starts now only deletes files that could be generated by the encoding process and only looks in the DVD subfolder. Also the warning is made much more agressive.
Changed: Progress dialog for more application layout consistency.
Changed: Removed audio adjustment options for simplification. Option to force encoding to stereo or mono might return if there are requests for it.
Changed: Adjusted disc sizes.
Changed: Audio encoding bitrate is raised from about 64 Kbps per channel to 96 Kbps.
Changed: Removed Panavision aspect ratio and rewrote video scaling\resizing\padding calculations.
Fixed: Burning to disc where the destination folder has a space in it's path name would fail.
Fixed: Encoding fails when streams other than video or audio are present in the source file.
Fixed: When using the overscan advanced option, padding was not always a required multiple of 2.
Fixed: When correcting for overscan was enabled, video would not be the proper DVD standard size.
Fixed: Bug where audio would get encoded with 0 channels or 0 Kb/s.
Fixed: Unable to quit when the project has been modified and the main window is minimized.
Fixed: Audio on final DVD was played too fast\illegible when specifying any other audio format than Auto.
Fixed: Bugs in the calculation of required space. Was especially apparent if for example the first title was short and others long, or if subtitles were used.
Fixed: A folder named 'Dennis' (that would be me :) ) could end up being created in Documents and Settings when burning to disc or creating an ISO file.
Fixed: Issues with large (> 2 Gb) intermediary files that aborted the combining stage.
Fixed: Possible crash when clicking Project Settings button.
Fixed: When there were multiple audio or video streams in a source file, ecnoding would fail.

Fixed: An audio track with multiple audio sources would not combine into one and abort the encoding process.
Fixed: MPEG2 video streams that were copied over would abort the encoding process because of a missing space character.
Fixed: Custom video bitrate would still stay within it's predefined boundaries despite it being lower or higher.
Fixed: Locale issues arising from period or comma decimal indicators.
Fixed: Crash when an AVI with an AC3\MP3 audio data chunk of 0 bytes was added.
Fixed: Sudden close when loading a possibly corrupt AVI file.
Fixed: Added proper XML header tag with encoding to dvdauthor and spumux XML files. Fixes usage of foreign characters in path names.
