[B]Change Log for this Pre-Alpha:[/B]
* Reduced tendency to sleep for a few seconds when closing audio.
This was very annoying, but it is now significantly reduced. However,
there is still an issue with fast play sound getting too far ahead.
* DISABLED 2 OPTIONS :- DEEP PARSING, PARSE ALL PACKETS.
There are bugs, and it makes my brain hurt, so these are now OFF.
* Auto-Split output by Clip.
Saves each clip into a separate file in a single action.This is the
RECOMMENDED approach, for compatibility with other players.
File - Save PARTS - Split - @clip.
* Option to automatically added Clip number to Output File Name.
When manually saving each clip as you go along, it will automatically
add the clip number to the name of the output file.
Menu - Output - Default Extension - Add Clip Number.
* Auto-Preview on BMP snapshot.
To avoid being surprised by the effect of the difference in Luminance
settings between Overlay and RGB modes, a preview of how the frame
looks in RGB mode will be shown, together with the luminance controls
to allow adjustment.
Closing the Luminance controls commits the BMP .
By default, this Auto-Preview action only occurs on the first snap from
the file, but this can be changed in the Menu - Output - BMP - Auto-Preview.
Expert users can modify the effect of the Luminance preset buttons. INI
file :- "LumPresets=gamma1,contrast1,brightness1;gamma2,contrast2,brightness2;".
* CUE mode throttle.
The CUE button seemed way too fast on a Pentium 4, so now it
will default to being around the same speed as a P3 CUE.
If you prefer the faster CUE on a P4, then turn OFF :-
MENU - PREVIEW - TIMING METHOD - NOT SO FAST.
* Crop Top and Bot Edges.
Some videos have annoying dots on the top or bottom edge,
can now be hidden from view.
Menu - View - Cropping- Crop Top and Bot Edges.
* Option to invert view (Vertical Flip).
Menu - View - Special FX - Invert. [Shift-I]
* Playback volume handling changes.
Volume limiting option for quieter preview of loud files. Reduces the
playback ceiling to roughly 70% of maximum. Volume boost and ceiling
values can be overridden in the INI file. Auto reset of Audio track number
if selected track not found.
Hysteresis on Automatic Volume Control.
* New action - Split Selection.
The portion of the current selection up to the current view becomes a clip,
the selection is updated to exclude that section, so that the new From
point is set to the current view position,
* Post-Process command line can now be much longer.
* Batch command line can specify multiple input file names.
There is a slight bug - the picture does not show until you navigate. EG:
Mpg2Cut2 "File1.mpg" "File2.mpg" "File3.mpg"
* Toolbar options.
Toolbar Buttons and Scrollbar can now be toggled separately. F12 = Scrollbar
Only_ _ Alt-F12 = Buttons Only _ _ F11 = Both. Toggling and External
players are now under the Window heading.
* Settings can be saved for Zoom and Aspect Ratio override.
* Allow for Packless Program Streams.
* Tidy up of RGB mode and Fast 420 yuy2 chroma deinterlacer.
* Fixed bug in LPCM decode where packet split across block.
* Smarter alignment of leading audio packets.
Try to avoid false syncword bit patterns.
* Experimental option to unmux audio in PES format.
Allows retention of timing info in PES hdr. Still experimental.
* Correctly report Mpeg Audio Extensions.
Mpeg 2.5 and Low Sampling Frequency extensions will now report correctly.
* Slow-1 now adjusts for difference between silent FPS and sound FPS.
Use when viewing silent film that was telecined too fast. (Keyboard shortcut = 's')
* Allow for bug in ATI driver.
Some ATI drivers sometimes give sloping video on first display. To fix :-
MENU - VIEW - TECHNICAL - Overlay Notification - ATI sloping.
* Manual allowance for Monitor Aspect ratio problems.
A new INI file line wth the keyword "N3" has been created. The first value
on that line is a percentage amount to adjust for Monitor issues. EG. If the
image on the monitor is 5% too wide, then set "N3=-5" to reduce the image
width by 5%. Leave the other parameters on that line unchanged. Reserved
for future use.
* Experimental Audio read-ahead option.
Experimental feature preparatory to possible lip sync during preview,
eventually.
* 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.
