Should be 0 instead of 1 as + we no longer encapsulate AAC in MP4 + * Removed --no-chapters mkvmerge option for FAAC encoding. It's no longer needed as we no longer + store the AAC audio in MP4 container + +* Sat Apr 07 2012 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.5 + * Don't require FAAC to be compiled with MP4 container support (the -w option). Some distro's + do not compile FAAC with MP4 support so play it safe and assume FAAC isn't compiled with + MP4 support + +* Tue Feb 21 2012 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.4 + * Only 'sed' mbtree for multi-pass mode + * Don't append "- chapter [id]" to output file when encoding only specific chapters + +* Tue Jan 03 2012 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.3 + * Use -vc dummy in MPlayer in the audio code. Seems to work better on some files + +* Sun Jan 01 2012 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.2 + * Use a separate variable in config file for setting the default CRF or QP value (DEFAULT_VID_CRFQP). + This bumps the config file version to 21 + * Renamed the DEFOUTPUT, DEFPATH and DEFBATCHDIR variables to DEFAULT_OUTPUT, DEFAULT_PATH and + DEFAULT_BATCHDIR + * Be slightly more portable by using #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/bin/bash shebang + * Replaced some if conditionals in the -sc option by using 'test' directly + * Added an option for passing additional MEncoder parameters. Useful for when the user wants to + use something like -mc 0 -noskip, for example + * Added support for encoding to DTS audio through the dcaenc encoder which can be found at + http://aepatrakov.narod.ru/dcaenc/ + * Minor changes to the video_delogo_func() function. Use $sourcetype, $device, $vid and + $MPLAYEROPTS variables. Also use -nosound in MPlayer + * Improved the mkvtags file. Escape special characters like &, <, > and " in the Title field + +* Mon Oct 10 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.1 + * Introduced two new variables in the config file, DEFAULT_VID_BITRATE and DEFAULT_AUD_CODEC. + The first one sets the default video bitrate or CRF/QP value while the second one can + be used to set a default audio codec. This change updates the config file to version 20 + * Fixed a typo in man page + +* Sun Aug 20 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.4.0 + * Disable mbtree in multipass mode to prevent segfaulting MEncoder due to differences in + frames amount in the passlog file. Disabling mbtree reduces quality but saves us a crash + in MEncoder + * Notify the user that the script does not support AAC in AVI anymore. Also exit if user + has not selected any of the other supported containers + +* Mon Aug 08 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.9 + * Bugfix: selecting the x264 internal denoiser does nothing due to missing $nr variable + in the MEncoder options + +* Sat Jul 23 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.8 + * Update the mq, nq, hq, vhq, ehq, uhq and ihq presets. Increase subme by 1. For the ihq + preset, this means that it uses subme 11 now which requires latest x264 from git + +* Sun May 15 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.7 + * Removed the ssim and psnr options from the presets. Should only be used for benchmarking + +* Sun Apr 04 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.6 + * Fixed the subtitles function which got broken when the get_selection_func() + function got introduced + +* Tue Mar 29 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.5 + * Added support for setting the crop rounding value + +* Wed Mar 09 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.4 + * Fix option 4 and 5 of the video_deblock_func() function. Wrong vars used + +* Mon Feb 21 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.3 + * Fixed a bug in directory batch mode were wrong conditional was used to check + for the DEFOUTPUT variable + * Display which file is currently being processed in batch mode + * Check only for files while in batch mode + * Do not exit if user types an incorrect answer to y/n questions. Instead, ask + the question again. Patch by Jan-Hendrik Peters and friends + +* Sat Jan 08 2011 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.2 + * Use -demuxer lavf when trying to get the video length for bitrate calculation + for a target file size. Should be more reliable on M2TS/TS files + * Add support for the delogo filter. Patch by Haiko Michelfeit <haiko AT zsyndikat DOT org> + Config file version is bumped to 19 + * Updated copyright dates + +* Sun Dec 05 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.1 + * Fix for the custom preset (cp) option + +* Fri Nov 26 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.3.0 + * Remove double $HOME variable in the -scan option + +* Fri Oct 29 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.9 + * Fix typo in the backup_file_func(): exisiting -> existing + * Workaround multichan FAAC encoding. FAAC somehow does not like multichan PCM from + MPlayer but it does if one treats it as raw using -P in FAAC. Nero/FLAC/Vorbis have + no issues, though. Go figure + * Added support for setting subtitle codepage during hardcoding of external subs + * Added support for the audio equalizer filter. This updates the config file version + to 18 + * Removed 'time' requirement + +* Thu Sep 16 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.8 + * Workaround mencoder stupidity. With recent versions of mencoder that have subs + enabled by default (who came up with that great idea?), in case the user selects + to dump a sub for importing into mkv/mp4, during multipass encoding the first sub + will always get hardcoded due to missing -nosub option in the 2nd and 3rd pass code. + This is only valid for multipass encodes so people using one pass modes (-1p, -qp or -crf) + are safe. + +* Wed Sep 15 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.7 + * Small update to the -scan option. Just check if input file is there, regardless if + user provides the full path or not + * Enable trellis in some presets that use CAVLC + +* Mon Aug 23 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.6 + * Fixed a syntax error in the iphq preset + +* Sun Aug 22 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.5 + * Update QuickTime & iPhone presets. Patch by gongloo + +* Wed Jul 21 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.4 + * Typo fix in the display_quality_preset_func(); verslow -> veryslow. As this is an + informative function, it does not affect the encoding configuration + * Force -nosub option in case subtitles are skipped. This is to prevent auto-loading + of subs + +* Fri Jun 25 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.3 + * Added support for x264's preset, tune and profile options. This adds two additional + optional args [-t (for tune) and -pf (for profile)] which can only be used with an + x264 preset, not with the built-in script presets. If used with those, these args + will be ignored. + Examples on how to use x264 presets (which is also explained in the -help option) + h264enc -crf -p slow + h264enc -crf -p slow -t film + h264enc -crf -p slow -pf main + h264enc -crf -p slow -t film -pf high + One can also switch the -t and -pf options, eg: h264enc -crf -p slow -pf high -t film + * Updated the man page + +* Sat May 15 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.2 + * Small bugfix in the get_devices_func() function; script exits when user hits enter + to accept default device + * Remove AVI menu entry as supported container when using FAAC for audio encoding + +* Thu Apr 29 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.1 + * Reworked a bit the audio channels decode/output function. This function also got + renamed from audio_channels_func() to audio_channels_decode_func() + * Added support for the audio channels filter which can be used to add/remove/route channels + This updates the config file to version 17 and adds variable ALLOW_AUD_CHANNELS + * Bugfix: audio filters were not inserted when doing 1-pass encodes + +* Sat Apr 24 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.2.0 + * Switch to using external FAAC encoder to work around an issue in mkvmerge where + it flags AAC audio taken from an AVI as being Main profile regardless if LC profile + is used for encoding or not. Problem noticed & reported by benpro. This updates the + config file to version 16 and requires FAAC to be installed. + * Same small cleanups + * Updated the man page + +* Sun Mar 28 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.9 + * Replaced sed with awk for checking available disk space. Should work better on + FreeBSD systems. Patch by ennob from doom9 + * Updated interlace options and presets to support the latest x264 from git. Note + that due to these changes, h264enc's presets are incompatible with older x264 + versions so please upgrade to latest x264 from git! + * Small update to the preset.cfg file + +* Thu Mar 18 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.8 + * Small bugfix: keyint and keyint_min weren't passed on to MEncoder when using some + presets + +* Tue Mar 16 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.7 + * Space escaped some previously missed variables + * Use one variable in the presets (x264params) for all MEncoder x264 encoding options. + Reduces some code and simplifies things a bit + * Updated the preset.cfg file to support the "one variable for all x264 encoder opts" + Note: those using custom preset files for encoding should read the preset.cfg file + in the doc dir and adapt their existing preset files to be compatible with the + changes. Previous older custom presets written by users will not work with this and + future versions of h264enc! + +* Thu Feb 18 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.6 + * Added new veriable 'DEFOUTPUT' to the config file which can be used to set a default + output directory. This updates the config to version 15 + * Modified the set_output_filename_func() function to support the above variable. + - If the DEFOUTPUT variable is empty, user can either provide just the output + name for the encode (in this case the script assumes $HOME as output dir), or + the full path and output name, which in this case the script will create the + output dir if it's not present or will do a write test when the dir is present + to see if it's writable by the user. If creation of output dir or the write test + fails, the script exits with a notice. + - If the DEFOUTPUT variable contains a custom output dir, the script will test for + it and create it if it's not present. If creation fails, the script exits with a + notice. If the dir is present, the script will do a write test to see if the + custom dir is writable. If not, the script exits with a notice. + - The DEFOUTPUT variable can be overwritten on the command line. This means that if + user has set a custom output dir in the DEFOUTPUT variable but provides a path when + asked on the command line, that path will be used instead of the one in the DEFOUTPUT + variable. The script then will either check and create the provided output dir on + the command line (if that dir is not present) or will do a write test if the dir + is present. Upon failure of creation or write test, the script exits with a notice. + If no path is provided on the command line but only the output name for the encode, + the script will use the one set in the DEFOUTPUT variable. + +* Sat Jan 30 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.5 + * Reduced duplication in the audio encode exporting code by moving it inside functions + * Reduced duplication in the MKV/MP4/TS/OGM exporting code by moving it inside functions + * Reduced duplication in the code that prints some information before encoding starts + * Various minor code improvements + +* Thu Jan 21 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.4 + * Set default H.264 level to 'auto' and also accept integer numbers as levels in addition + to accepting fixed point ones, ie both 41 and 4.1 are now accepted as valid levels + * Renamed the rmconf() function to rmtemp() + * Moved creation of temp dir, the interrupt_func() and rmtemp() functions at the beginning + of the script + * Fixed a bug in the DVD part of the -scan option where lsdvd doesn't get a valid device + passed. Bug was introduced due to changes in the new get_devices_func() function + * Reduced duplication in the mencoder_opts() function + * Various small code improvements + +* Tue Jan 19 2010 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.1.3 + * Made the TEMPDIR variable escape spaces in directory names + * Small update to the mkvtags_func() function + * Removed the -a52drc option for AC3 encoding + * Added new x264 intra_refresh option to the script and the preset.cfg file + * Added two new variables, DVD_DEVICE and CDROM_DEVICE, to the config file where user + can set a default block device to encode from. This updates the config file to version 14 + * Merged the get_dvd_devices_func() and get_vcd_devices_func() functions into a new one + called get_devices_func() + +* Wed Dec 23 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Fixed a severe bug that can cause in some cases severe data loss when using a + custom temp directory. It manifests itself when using a 'top' directory as custom + temp directory such as a partition mount point or even the user's home directory. + In such cases, the top directory will be deleted upon script termination or when encoding + finishes, resulting in possible massive data loss due to rm -rf $TEMPDIR if TEMPDIR was + set to, for example, /home/username or points to a mount point or another directory that + may be important to the user. + From now on, always use a job<pid> directory inside the one set in the TEMPDIR variable + so it'll only delete the job<pid> directory and not its parent one, minimizing possibility + of a data loss disaster + * Set nomixed_refs for the iphq/iphhq presets + +* Thu Dec 10 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Disabled weightp for the AppleTV presets + * Added new option sliced_threads present in latest x264 from git + * Enabled b_pyramid for some presets that use mbtree as it now works with mbtree + * Updated the preset.cfg file. Added sliced_threads option + * Changed all video ALLOW_* variables in the config file to ALLOW_VID_* + * When using dd to dump a DVD to an ISO, use options noerror,sync and a bs size of 2048 + * Added support for sending mails. This requires the 'mailx' program and a valid .mailrc + file in the home directory. Mail notification can be enabled in the config file of + h264enc which also offers an example of a gmail setting for .mailrc + * Bumped config file version to 13 + * Updated copyright dates + +* Mon Nov 09 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Implemented a simple telecine detector for NTSC DVDs. Currently it's a dumb solution + which can't distinguish between hard telecine and interlacing but it's enough to + detect soft telecine and mixed progressive/telecine content which is more common + * Simplified the FPS detection code + * Update to all presets: added new weightp x264 option. This requires latest x264 + revision from git + * Updated the preset.cfg file. Added weightp option + * Small general code improvements and cosmetics + +* Wed Nov 04 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Replaced a few if conditionals with case statements in the neroaac_audio_func() function + * Sed a comma at the end of resolution detection in case we're dealing with TS files. The + default TS demuxer in MPlayer has a comma at the end of the resolution info which results + in errorneous behavior in the bc calculation + * Simplified the resolution detection code + * Some small cleanups + +* Mon Oct 19 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Force stereo audio for Nero HE-AACv2 as it doesn't support anything else, thus + it results in failure if user tries to encode with more than two channels. This + updates the audio_channels_func() function and also adds a small new independent + one called neroaac_hev2_func() which only sets the channels to two if the channels + array variables are empty, as is the case when the user did not set the channels + * Small improvements to the ABR/VBR default audio bitrates for the neroAacEnc encoder. + Base the default bitrates on the chosen AAC profile, i.e. if user chooses HE-AACv1, + default bitrate will be 55 kbps or in case of quality-based VBR encoding a value of + 0.22. For LC-AAC and HE-AACv2, default bitrates and quality values will be 96 kbps + or 0.35 and 25 kbps or 0.11, respectively. Note that this assumes the input audio is + stereo so if it's anything else than that, it's up to the user to decide on bitrates + or quality values + * Set default to a capital letter in questions where one needs to answer with y or n + * Update to all presets: updated the b_pyramid option to use the new args none/strict/normal + present in latest x264 revision. Note that this requires both latest MPlayer from SVN + and latest x264 revision from git + * Small b_pyramid update to the preset.cfg file + +* Sat Oct 17 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added new function video_subtitles_align_func() for subtitle alignment control. + Requested by blaz on doom9.org forum. + * Added new x264 option 'constrained_intra' to the preset.cfg file. + * Added detection of VFR content (1000 fps as reported by MPlayer). + * Added X264_VERSION and MKVMERGE_VERSION entries to the mkvtags_func() function. + * Simplified a bit the audio exporting code for the first track. + +* Thu Sep 24 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * MP3 (MPEG1 Layer 3) only supports sample frequencies of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz + so restrict to those only in the audio_resample_func() function + * Set default for the pp7 deblocker to 3 + * Fixed example typo in the DVD chapters code + * Insert the ilpack filter before the scaler to correctly align chroma channels + when preserving interlacing + * Added AUDIO_CODEC_TRACK[1|2|3], AUDIO_LANGUAGE_TRACK[1|2|3] and H264ENC_PARAMETERS + entries to the mkvtags_func() function + * Enabled adaptive transform for the AppleTV HQ preset (atvhq) + * Improved checking the availability of block devices + * Added option 'global_header' to the preset.cfg file + +* Wed Sep 16 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Small bugfix: setting the H.264 level for the fghq preset wasn't possible + * Small bugfix: the counter in set_output_filename_func() didn't increase itself + * Added SOURCE, VIDEO_FILTERS, AUDIO_FILTERS_TRACK[1|2|3], ENCODER and X264_PARAMETERS + entries to the mkvtags_func() function + +* Mon Sep 14 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Use only lowercase words in all case statements that deal with the input source + * Some small improvements to the exit info in the audio code + * Placed the -passlogfile option inside the PASSLOG variable + * Set psy_rd to 0.3 for the Anime presets + * Allow setting the H.264 level for the PC presets to "auto" so libx264 will + decide itself which level to use based on options and resolution used + * Added support for 2-pass Nero AAC audio encoding. Note that 2-pass is only + supported by ABR/CBR encoding and ensures that the output quality is constant + (like VBR) while also ensuring that a specified output bitrate is achieved + (like CBR). Requested by punlo on doom9.org + +* Sun Sep 06 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Fixed a typo in the man page, MEnocder -> MEncoder + * Small improvement to how the MKV XML tagging file gets exported. Also improved + the XML formatting and added COMMENT string with text "Tagged by h264enc $version" + * Added comment tag for MP4 and OGM with the same text as above + * Small update to the video_deinterlace_func() function's menu + * Add comment header with dates to batch files + +* Fri Sep 04 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added new option sync_lookahead available in latest x264 git and updated the + preset.cfg file + * Added support for the noise video filter. This change updates the config file + to version 12. Also, encoding priority now defaults to a nice value of 10 in + the config file + * Moved out the code which checks and backups/renames a file if it has the same + name as the output provided by the user to a separate function called + backup_file_func() and also improved it so that if there's already an existing + backup file, the new one will increase its count number by one thus there's no + more overwriting being done anymore. The same thing applies to existing chapter + files and DVD subs + * Added support for Year and Genre metadata tagging for the MKV/MP4/OGM containers. + For MKV, the genre and year is set globally using an automatically generated XML + file. MP4 uses the iTunes tagging and OGM the comment space + * Updated the man page + +* Tue Sep 01 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Simplified the audio_channels_func() function a bit + * Merged the QP and CRF settings + * Increased rc_lookahead a bit for the ehq, uhq and ihq presets + * Improved detection of DVD audio language codes. We now specifically grep for the + language word and then print the 2nd positional which gives us the language code. + It works more reliably if the DVD does not report its language code for the audio track(s) + so if this is the case, we fall back to undefined language. The previous code fails in + such cases due to the printing of the 8th positional which will print the "aid:" part when + there's no language code after the "language:" word, resulting in MKV/MP4 muxing failures. + Reported by WalterK from doom9.org + * Moved the code that deals with DVD subs/cover files/metadata info/chapters and external + subs for the MP4 container before its audio code + * Added slicing to the Blu-ray and AVCHD presets. It increases compliancy with the Blu-ray + specs. Slicing is only available in the latest x264 from git so please upgrade if you + intend to use the Blu-ray/AVCHD presets + * Added new options 'slices', 'slice_max_size' and 'slice_max_mbs' to the preset.cfg file + * Fixed chapters import for the OGM container. Missing '@' before the chapters input file + results in the file not being imported + * Added support for audio language metadata info for the OGM container + * Small improvements to how chapters information is added to the output file name + +* Sat Aug 15 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Renamed presets f9 and f9hq to fl and flhq + * Added new preset 'fghq' specifically optimized for preserving film grain + * Removed duplicate videofilters variable. This removes the check for the tfields filter + as now deinterlacing will always be done after cropping (which also speeds up things a bit) + so the crop filter will never complain about crop area being outside of the original if + tfields is used. It also reduces filters maintenance a bit + * Turn soft-clipping on in the volume audio filter + * Use aq_mode=1 for presets that have mbtree enabled as it usually does better on fades than + aq_mode=2 + * Updated the man page + +* Tue Aug 11 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Reduced the amount of if conditional iterations for setting the scaler interlace variable + * Print full path of the output file(s) at the end of encoding + * 10L: forgot to enable MB tree for the anihq preset + * Replaced variable CONFIGDIR with TEMPDIR. This change updates the config file to version 11 + * Fixed some spacings issues by moving around some echo's + * Simplified the sample encoding code. Reduced some code duplication + * Upped psy_rd from 0.6 to 0.8 + +* Fri Aug 07 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added support for the audio panning filter. This change also updates the config file + to version 10 + * Simplifications to the audio_filters_func() and audio_filters_var_func() functions + * Moved the audio filters functions after the audio codec ones + * Fixed a bug in the audio_channels_func() function for the AAC codec. If user just + hits return to accept the default AAC codec, the channels function was not called + due to missing "" in the first case statement of that function + * Enabled MB tree (macroblock tree ratecontrol) for the high quality presets and disabled + b_pyramid for presets that have mbtree enabled as it currently doesn't support it. Note that + mbtree produces a large passlog file when ran in 2-pass mode but can increase quality anywhere + between 2-70%, depending on the content. mbtree is only available in latest x264 git so + please upgrade + * Added new options mbtree, rc_lookahead and nopsy to the preset.cfg file + +* Sat Aug 01 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added new option -mfr which calculates the maximum allowed frame references within DPB + (Decoded Picture Buffer) limits for different H.264 levels and resolutions + * Call the track_echo_func() function inside the select_audio_codec_func() one. Removes + pointless duplication + * Don't call mplayer twice in the 2nd/3rd audio track code just to get the audio codec. + Also removed a pointless case statement + * Allow users to set the H.264 level when using the standard PC presets + * Fixed a few typos in the preset.cfg file + * Updated the man page + +* Thu Jul 30 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Increased subq to 10 (QP-RD) for the IHQ preset. Requires latest x264 from git. Also + lowered frameref from 16 to 8 and bframes from 10 to 7 + * Add example on how to encode only specific DVD chapters. Some people keep bugging me + about this while it's actually very simple + +* Fri Jul 24 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Switched to the new Auto-variance AQ (aq_mode=2) for all presets. This requires latest x264 + revision from git so please upgrade! + * Decreased frame references for all iPod presets to 1 and increased subq to 8 for the HQ iPod + presets + * Minor improvments to the set_output_filename_func() function + * Merged the audio code of the portable device presets. Moderately reduces code duplication in + the audio functions calling code + * Added two new presets (ag1 and ag1hq) for Android G1 devices. This brings the total presets + count to 60 + * Added support for the new gradfun debanding video filter. Although mostly recommended for playback + due to the fact that encoding tends to bring back banding, it can be useful to deband input + sources which show pretty bad and very noticable banding effects before passing the content + to the encoder. The gradfun filter is only available in MPlayer SVN. This also adds a new + variable ALLOW_DEBAND to the config file where one can enable or disable this filter + * Added a small while loop to the video_crop_func() function which will keep asking the user for + new crop values until he's satisfied with them. Patch by elektronaut from Doom9.org + * Added a new variable PRIORITY to the config file which can be used to set a global priority + nice value for the encoding process. The values one can use are between (and including) + -20 and 19. However, if the script detects that the variable has a negative nice value + set and the script is being executed with regular user privileges, it will print a notice + and exit. This change updates the config file to version 9 + * Updated the man page + +* Wed Jul 08 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added detection for E-AC3 audio for stream copy and updated the MKV/TS muxing code to support it + * Added new option -spr which calculates the Storage and Pixel Aspect Ratios (SAR/PAR) for various + resolutions + * Display the amount of chapters each DVD title has when scanning for titles + * Display total pixels, SAR and PAR when scanning a file/vcd with the -scan option + * Added --no-chapters mkvmerge option for audio files encoded by neroAacEnc so that chapters + won't be copied over to the MKVs from these files + * Small update to the install script + * Updated the man page. Fix some small cosmetic issues, patch by Alessio Treglia + +* Wed Jul 01 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Fallback to undefined audio language in the AUDLANG[$i] variables if we detect unknown language + from MPlayer's output + * Added support for bitrate-based ABR Vorbis encoding in addition to quality-based VBR. ABR mode + in Vorbis resembles quality-based VBR except the encoder averages a given nominal bitrate + * Updated the Vorbis part of the video bitrate calculation code + * Added new function ratio_and_pixels_func() which calculates and displays the Storage Aspect Ratio (SAR), + Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) and total pixels from resolution + * Bugfix for track 1 in the internal audio encoding code. If using aacplusenc to encode audio, the case + statement had a wrong selection value (aac++ instead of aac+) resulting in displaying a failed message + and forcing an exit even though the encoding may have succeeded + * Simplifications to the internal audio encoding code which reduce code duplication + * Small fixes to the video bitrate calculation code + * Small tuning to the Blu-ray/AVCHD presets + * Small cleanups + +* Fri Jun 26 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Set default audio codec for the Blu-ray/AVCHD presets to AC3 + * Bugfix to the OGM muxing code. Second/third track were ignored when one selects AC3 audio + * Added keyint, keyint_min, nr and interlaced variables to the custom preset skeleton file 'preset.cfg' + * Moved the AACTYPE variable to the neroaac_audio_func() function and updated the specific parts + that use it in the MKV/MP4 muxing code + * Do not automatically detect audio sample rate in directory batch encoding mode. Only do it + for single file/dvd/vcd encodings as in batch mode, detection will only print the sample rate of + the first file but not the other files in the directory so this can mislead the user in thinking + that all files in the directory have the sample rate reported by the script. It is possible to + implement sample rate detection for all files but since we don't know how many files are in + the directory, I do not want the user to see a full screen with sample rate info of each file if + he deals with a directory with a few hundreds or more files in it + * Disallow autocropping, if enabled in the config file, for directory batch encodings + * Small reordering to the MP4 muxing code + * Small update to the install script + * Updated the man page + +* Wed Jun 24 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Removed audio filters for the 1st pass in 2-pass encoding and for the 1st & 2nd pass of + a 3-pass encoding. They are useless here and it's something I've overlooked for a long + time. Thanks to Mat Kanner for noticing and reporting + * Some small changes to the way we pass FPS to MP4Box + * Added support for MP4 hinting for RTP/RTSP sessions + * Simplifications to the external subs importing code. Also fixed a bug in the MP4 subs + importing code; missing -add option in the MP4SUBS variable will make MP4Box fail + * Merged the MKV tagging code with the muxing one + * Added support for detection of WMA audio for stream copy + * Added support for per track audio codecs for DVD encodings. The user can now select + if he wishes for each track a different audio codec. Mixing audio stream copy with + compression codecs is also possible + * Updated all relevant audio functions to support per track audio codecs + * Updated the bitrate calculation code to support per track audio codecs + * Updated the container muxing code to support the above audio changes + +* Mon Jun 22 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Small improvement to the MKV/MP4 tagging code: support audio tagging of single file + encodes with audio stream copy + * Use array variables ${SUBFILE[2] and ${SUBFILE[3] instead of ${OUTPUT%.*}_sub2 + and ${OUTPUT%.*}_sub3 when dumping the second/third DVD subtitles + * Simplified the MKV cover art importing code + * Small improvements to video bitrate calculation with audio stream copy + * Use only one named pipe for all tracks when encoding to neroAAC/AAC+/Vorbis/FLAC + * Major audio code restructuring and partial rewrite. Converted virtually all audio + code variables to array variables. This allows for easy extensibility and much less + code duplication. It's very easy now to add as much audio tracks as one may want to the + code with very little changes/updates needed to the containers code. Also the current + changes may allow very easily to support different audio codecs per track in the future + * Added support for a third DVD audio track + * Updated the video bitrate calculation for target size to support the above audio changes + * Converted most of the variables in the video_subtitles_func() function to arrays. This + moderately reduces some code duplication + * Updated the container muxing/tagging code to support the above audio changes + * Use external flac encoder to encode to FLAC audio as doing it through mencoder is terribly + broken. This updates the config file to version 8 and adds the 'flac' encoder as dependency + * Set the default resampling filter to lavcresample as the other one gives problems when + encoding to FLAC audio and resampling + +* Wed Jun 19 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Simplifications to the MKV tagging code which reduces some code duplication + * Bugfix: FAAC acodec2 variable has wrong mpeg value. Must be mpeg=4 instead of mpeg4. + This results in failure in encoding of the second audio track when one selects + FAAC as encoder + * Bugfix: FLAC audio was ignored for the second track due to missing value in the selection + of the case statement + * Added support for tagging of MKV files when doing a directory batch encoding + * Replaced the IMPSUB1, IMPSUB2 and IMPSUB3 variables, used to import subs when input type + is file/directory/vcd, by array variables EXTSUB[1], EXTSUB[2] and EXTSUB[3]. This allows + for less code duplication as these array variables are shared by all input types (including DVD) + and thus we only need to do a small loop and add their values if not empty to the + MKVSUBS, MP4SUBS and OGMSUBS variables + * Use as temp directory $HOME/.h264enc/job<PID> + * Added new function audio_stream_copy_func() which will print a warning that audio stream copy + in directory batch encoding mode is not recommended unless the user is certain that the files + have a supported audio codec by the MKV/MP4/OGM/TS containers + * Group audio filters under a submenu similar to how the video filters are grouped + * Some small cleanups + +* Wed Jun 17 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added support for per track audio bitrate for DVD encodings + * Added support for per track audio normalization and volume adjustments for DVD encodings. + Updated functions audio_volnorm_func() and audio_volume_func() + * Added support for per track audio resampling for DVD encodings. Updated functions + audio_resample_filters_func() and audio_resample_func() + * Updated the video bitrate calculation code to support the above audio changes + * Bugfix for the qt/bd/avchd presets: audio filters were not called for these presets + * Added support for per track AAC profile settings (LC/HE/HEv2) when using the + neroAacEnc audio encoder + * Small modifications to the MKV/MP4 tagging and muxing code to support the + per track neroAacEnc AAC profiles. This also includes optimizations to the way + the tagging code handles different AAC profiles. If LC profile is chosen, audio will + be tagged as LC-AAC (along with channels info). For HE and HEv2, audio will be tagged + as HE-AACv1 and HE-AACv2 (along with channels info) respectively + * Moved the MKV tagging code inside the MKV muxing code + * Converted the EXTSUB1, EXTSUB2 and EXTSUB3 variables, used to import external DVD subs, + to arrays so we can easily check different files for their file extensions + * Only allow SRT subs as import into OGM. If another subs format is provided, the + subs will be skipped. For MP4, do not allow ASS/SSA subs since it's not supported yet + by MP4Box. For MKV, do not allow SUP and TTXT subs + +* Mon Jun 15 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Update to the video_subtitles_func() function: for DVD encodings, added support + for importing up to three external subtitles into MKV/MP4/OGM. Also added + support for hardcoding an external subtitle into the movie + * Updated the MKV/MP4/OGM muxing code to support imports of external subtitles + * Increased Psy RD from 0.5 to 0.6 for some presets + * If dumping of the second and/or third DVD subtitle fails and user has selected to + import the subs into MKV/MP4, force an exit since container conversion will fail as + the muxing programs will complain about the missing subs. If no container conversion + is chosen or user has chosen not to import the subs and dumping of subs fails, just + continue since there's nothing critical in this case + * Use mplayer -really-quiet option instead of redirection to /dev/null when dumping + audio to a named pipe for neroAAC/Vorbis/AAC+ encoding + * Some small updates to the man page + * Updated the AUTHORS file + +* Fri Jun 12 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Replaced the --noaudio mkvmerge option with -A due to recent options changes + in mkvmerge version 2.9.5. -A also works for older versions so nothing breaks here + * Removed the check_outfile_func() function as its code has been added to the + set_output_filename_func() function, which also has been improved + * Added support for FLAC audio in MKV + * Removed some code duplication in the MKV metadata tagging code + +* Tue Jun 09 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added support for adding jpeg/png cover art files to MKV/MP4 + * Added audio language meta-info for MP4 and TS files + * Improved audio language meta-info for MKV files. This also adds metadata + info for the second audio track + * Fixed a small bug: the --aac-is-sbr mkvmerge parameter should be set to 0:1 + for the second audio track when using aacplusenc as encoder + +* Mon Jun 08 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Add iTunes video title name to MP4 files + +* Sun May 24 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Use the same name for the log file as the output file name + * Force using the libmpeg2 decoder when encoding DVDs/VCDs (works slightly better in specific + cases compared to ffmpeg2) + * Added support for IVTC 59.940 -> 23.976 fps + * Some small code cosmetics + +* Tue May 12 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Added deinterlace combinations of Yadif + linear blend, linear interpolation, cubic + interpolation, median deint, ffmpeg deint and lowpass 5 + * Cosmetics to the help menu + * Added global audio function audio_filters_func() for calling the resample, volume + normalizing and volume filters + * Added 16 new variables to the config file for enabling/disabling of specific audio/video + filters and containers: ALLOW_FPS_CONVERSION, ALLOW_SCALER_TUNING, ALLOW_DSIZE, + ALLOW_EXPAND, ALLOW_COLORSPACE, ALLOW_ASPECT, ALLOW_AUD_RESAMPLE, ALLOW_AUD_NORMALIZE, + ALLOW_AUD_VOLUME, ALLOW_MKV_MUXING, ALLOW_MP4_MUXING, ALLOW_TS_MUXING, ALLOW_OGM_MUXING, + ALLOW_SAMPLE_ENCODING, ALLOW_SCAN_MULTIPLE_VIDSTREAMS and ALLOW_SCAN_MULTIPLE_AUDSTREAMS, + the last two are only effective on file and directory batch encodings + * Updated the man page + +* Thu May 7 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Automatically add the shebang line to batch files and make them executable + * Added new variable ALLOW_AUTOCROP to the config file which allows the user to enable or + disable automatic cropping + * Added MP3 presets and updated target file size code to support them (requested by Rogério Brito) + * Some minor adjustments to the hq, vhq, ehq, uhq and ihq presets; decrease b-frames by one + +* Wed Apr 29 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + - Small bugfix: video filters variables in the config file were not respected when one + chooses to encode VCDs. + - Add video title meta-data for MKV and OGM when doing directory batch encodings + +* Tue Apr 28 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Optimize some variables by replacing piping to sed with VARIABLE1="${VARIABLE2%.*}.ext" + * Move out the built-in -loop 1 mplayer option to the config file's MPLAYEROPTS variable + * Add support for enabling/disabling specific pre/postprocessing filters in the config file. + This adds 7 new variables to the config file where the user can either enable to ask + questions about a specific filter or disable a specific variable, thus skipping + questions about the filter + * Moved the video filters code to a new function called video_filters_func(). This also + reduces a bit of code duplication + * Add a new option -e which allows the user to edit the config file directly from within the + terminal. This adds a new variable EDITOR to the config file where the user can set his + preferred text editor (defaults to nano) + * Silence possible dvdxchap warnings + * Updated the man page + +* Thu Apr 26 2009 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> + * Bugfix: missing 's' in the sed expression of the MP4OUT variable. This results in + missing output file and will fail when one tries to remux to mp4
