The problem is that this auto-detection + cannot be made very reliable and there's a high chance it will misdetect + something. Make it simple instead and ask the user if to set the prims + and/or fake interlaced options + * Tune the Blu-ray/AVCHD high-quality presets for better quality + * Both the aften and lavc encoders for AC-3 audio share the same bitrate + code. Move it out of the encoder functions to a new ac3_bitrate_func() + function to reduce some duplication + * Removed some commented out code + * In addition to reporting file sizes in MiB after encoding finishes, also + report them in GiB + +* Wed Jul 02 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.9 + * Add -noskip to where -mc 0 is used + * Document the exit values used by the exit_func() function + * Made the sed syntax consistent + * Currently, we calculate the ratio and pixels in two places. One for + when we don't scale and one for when we scale. Merge the code into + the ratio_and_pixels_func() function to reduce some duplication + * When printing info on files/bd, increase the -channels to 8 + * Tune the higher quality presets and the anime ones by tweaking + the adaptive quants, psy and inloop deblocker for better quality + * Bugfix: in case we skip the audio channels filter when the + provided channels is higher than 6, the array var audchannels + was not reset + +* Tue Jul 01 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.8 + * Fix syntax error in the ratio_and_pixels_func() function + +* Mon Jun 30 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.7 + * Renamed the variable priority_level to nicelevel + * Be more clear about the language code the user may use by mentioning + that it's used for tagging + * Be more clear on the channels filter by stating it is very basic and + it will create empty channels in case the output channels are higher + than the input ones + * Add a 0 to the counter_func() function + * mkvmerge version 7.0.0 and higher automatically adds statistics tags + to the created file. Offer an option in the config file to disable + this. Updates the config file version to 31 + * Add a note to the skeleton presets.cfg file that one must start the + params with a : (colon) + +* Sun Jun 29 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.6 + * Add -mc 0, after some testing, for when encoding to E-AC-3 audio + * A lot of the supported audio codecs do not support more than 6 + channels so limit the channels to a maximum of 6 + * If aften is missing and user has selected it as encoder to use, fall + back to the lavc encoder instead of exiting + +* Wed Jun 25 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.5 + * Updated the info on audio codecs supported by containers + * Updated the set_audio_codec_func() function + * Set the default IVTC filter to filmdint + * Accept floating point values for CRF/QP ratecontrol in the config file + +* Tue Jun 24 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.4 + * Removed -mc 0 when encoding to E-AC-3 audio. It is not needed after + some tests and A/V sync will be better in some cases + * Use a case statement instead of an if conditional when checking if audio + encoder is fkdaac or dcaenc in order to insert the format filter + * Encode to AAC through MEncoder instead of using faac directly + * Renamed the aac_audio_func() function to faac_audio_func(). Also + renamed the $MENCIN var to $MENCINPUT + +* Mon Jun 23 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.3 + * Set the DRC profile for Aften to none + * Allow the volume filter to be used even if the volnorm one is used + * Added support for setting the DRC when using lavc for AC-3 + * Added support for encoding to E-AC-3 audio through lavc + +* Fri Jun 20 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.2 + * Fix a possible problem when detecting audio tracks when input is file + or blu-ray. We only grep for the generic word 'audio' which could result + in also printing lines that are not audio tracks but somehow carry the + 'audio' word in their tags. Fix it by using 'awk' before 'grep' to + only print the fourth column where lavf reports what type of track it is + * Set default DTS bitrate to 755 kbps. Also check if we don't exceed the + highest legal bitrate of 1509 kbps + * Due to a bug in the dcaenc encoder, floating-point WAV files get + wrongly interpreted as 32-bit integer ones. Work around this by adding + the format=s16le filter + * The 1536 kbps bitrate reported by MPlayer on some DTS files is technically + 1509 kbps, if we have to be accurate. Account for this by substracting + 27 kbps from the reported bitrate. Do the same for the reported 768 kbps + bitrate which is actually 755 kbps + * Report the kHz in addition to the Hz when displaying audio info for + found tracks + * When remuxing to MKV/MP4/OGM, instead of checking if a file is created + to make a decision if it was successful or not, use return codes from + the remuxing applications. Should be more reliable in telling the user + if it really succeeded or not. Unfortunately tsMuxeR doesn't return + anything so there's no other way than checking if there's an + output file. + * Lowered the scale factor in the calcbits() function from 3 to 2. + Also use | instead of @ as delimiter + * Tune a bit the subq values of the ani & anihq presets. Also turn on + trellis on all decisions (trellis=2) for the anihq preset + +* Thu Jun 19 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.1 + * Added support for the internal lavc AC-3 audio encoder. Now one + can choose between the lavc encoder (default) and the aften encoder. + The lavc encoder is set to default as aften has seen very little + development in the past years and is not as good as the lavc one + which is actively developed by the ffmpeg devs + * Fine-tune the volume filter by setting it to 4 after some tests + * Delete the file stored in the $AUDINFO variable + * When storing the MKV global tags while operating in batch mode, + test the variable $DIRTAGS for not being empty + * Cosmetics: add a few echo's at specific places to separate the + cmd lines in the batch file for better readability. Also add + a comment block for the start of the MKV, MP4, TS and/or OGM muxing + * Bugfix in the MKV/MP4 tags: do not add channel info when using MP3. + If we add channel info, it could result in "MP3 5.1" being added + to the audio tags, which is obviously wrong as MP3 only supports + stereo and mono channels + * Opus supports sampling rates from 8 kHz to 48 kHz. Support this + in the resampling code + +* Wed Jun 18 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.1.0 + * When scanning for audio tracks when input is file or blu-ray, + rename DCA (as reported by lavf) to DTS to not confuse the user. + Also rename AC3 to AC-3 for consistency + * In case audio encoder is fdkaac, add to the MKV tags the audio + format used (eg, Signed 16-bit little endian) + * When dumping chapters from files, use the file extension .chaps + for MKV. Also test to see if there's already a chapters file with + the same name and rename it to <filename>.chaps.old + * aac-enc name in the MKV tags is not very descriptive, so add + (fdkaac) to it + * Cosmetics + +* Tue Jun 17 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.9 + * Bugfix: only call audio filters on subsequent tracks when running MPlayer + to decode since for the first track we already pass these filters to + MEncoder, thus if we also use them when running MPlayer we'll get a + double effect + * Add a ^ (caret) at the beginning of grep when trying to get the [lavf] + text to make sure we only grep the correct instances + * Set default CRF/QP value to 19 and for bitrate based encodes to 2000 kbps + * For the volume audio filter, set the default value to 3 as 5 is a bit high + +* Mon Jun 16 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.8 + * New method to detect and display audio info when input is file or blu-ray. + In comparison to the previous basic method, the new one will display + for each found audio track the codec, channels, language, bitrate and + sample rate info. It does take slightly longer to detect in case there + are many audio tracks, but it is more descriptive and accurate + +* Sun Jun 15 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.7 + * Use an if instead of a case when dumping chapters from files + * Also export chapter extraction commands to the batch file + * Display mkvextract availability when using the sanity check option (-sc) + * Add the path and name to the comment block of the batch file. Makes + it easy to focus on the comment block to know for which file the + commands are instead of needing to inspect the code itself to find + out + +* Wed Jun 11 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.6 + * Added support for dumping chapters info from MKV/MP4 input files + This updates the config file version to 30 as mkvextract is needed + * Made the audiofmt variable an array variable + * Moved asking for sample encoding before asking to inspect or save the + options to a file + +* Sat May 24 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.5 + * Fixed the detect_fps_func() function for detecting the NTSC type + * Lowered the spugauss (variance param for gauss subtitle scaling) + from 0.7 to 0.4 as 0.7 does too much blurring in my opinion + +* Thu May 22 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.4 + * Bugfix: $demuxer var was missing in the AUDCH array var which resulted + in incorrect channel info being added to the tags when copying audio. + DVD input was not affected by this bug, but file/dir/bd input was as + they all use the $demuxer var + +* Sat Apr 26 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.3 + * Removed unused $AUDFIFO variable + * Small bugfix: audio language for metadata tagging wasn't added to the global + tags for MKV when input is Blu-ray due to missing 'bd' param in the case + statement + +* Wed Apr 23 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.2 + * Bugfix: in case user chooses audio copy, the metadata info for tagging + always defaulted to "Stereo". Fix this by running MPlayer to detect + the proper amount of channels + +* Tue Apr 22 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.1 + * Bugfix: wrong var used, $chanuse instead of $chandec, for setting + the decode channels + * Only call the video_subtitles_scale_func() function if the user + actually provides an external sub for hardcoding + +* Thu Apr 17 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 10.0.0 + * Allow the video_subtitles_align_func() function for mks matroska + subtitles + * Display the warning message in red for when something goes wrong + when importing/hardcoding subs. Do the same for when checking + support for a sub format for MKV/MP4/OGM + * Added support for subtitles for Blu-ray encodings. Note that only + hardcoding of external sub or importing of external subs into the + MKV/MP4/OGM containers is supported + * Removed some duplication by placing the code for hardcoding an + external sub or importing external subs into its own + video_subtitles_option_func() function + * Increased the rc_lookahead value for the ehq, uhq and ihq presets + to 80, 90 and 100, respectively + * When copying audio and using some of the portable device presets, + also add the -mc 0 -msglevel demuxer=-1 options to MEncoder + * More code optimizations and minor fixes + +* Wed Apr 16 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.8 + * Use proper extensions when copying the audio as MP4Box has a + problem with recognizing the .raw extension + * Renamed the named pipe from audio.wav to audio.pipe. Also + placed it in a variable to reduce some minor duplication + * Added support for subtitle scaling for when hardcoding an + external sub or hardcoding an embedded one. Requested by + lib3rty1 from the the Doom9.org forum + * Added --no-chapters option to mkvmerge for when encoding + with neroAacEnc in order not to auto-copy chapters info + from the container + * Instead of defaulting to 0 kbps if we can't detect the audio + bitrate when copying audio and needing to calculate the video + bitrate for a target file size , ask the user to provide it + in case he knows it or can figure it out + * Set the default exponent strategy value for AC-3 to 16 + * Placed frequently used MPlayer options into a single variable, + $MPOPTS, in order not to write them over and over again when + we need them. These options are not used everywhere as + sometimes we need other specific ones when detecting something + * Improved priority level checks for regular users if the PRIORITY + variable is set in the config file + * Bugfix: audio resampling was not possible for Blu-rays due to + missing bd param in the case statement + * Merge the Blu-ray output code with that of the file/vcd as it's + identical + * Some minor code optimizations + +* Tue Apr 15 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.7 + * Allow the channels filter for the portable device presets + * Reorder the audio filters positions + * Placed the $MENCOPTS variable in front in MEncoder in order + for it to not overwrite the options already set + * For AC-3 audio, default to 384 kbps instead of 192 kbps and + default to "Film Standard" as DRC profile + * For MP3 audio, default to 192 kbps instead of 128 kbps when + doing CBR encodes and to "standard" when using a preset + * For NEROAAC and FDKAAC, default to 128 kbps instead of 96 kbps + when using LC-AAC mode + * Better wording in what the Output option does in the + audio_channels_decode_func() function + * Modification to the audio_codec_exit_func() function. Use this + function also to exit in case of an unsupported audio codec. + By using this function, some repeatability is removed + * Fixed a bug in the PCM audio code for the calculation of video + bitrate for a target file size. Variable $AUDIO_BITRATE + should be an array variable instead of a normal one + * Added support for Blu-ray angle encoding + * Reduced some duplication by placing the message into a single + variable when we exit in case an audio encoder is missing + * MEncoder currently has issues with copying audio. Work it + around by using -mc 0 -msglevel demuxer=-1 options which disable + its automatic A/V sync. With this, MEncoder may report 0 or some + large random number on some files for the audio but one can safely + ignore it. Audio is still being copied + * If the user chooses audio copy and selects to remux the encode + to MKV, the global tags did not contain the audio encoder string. + Fix this by adding "Unknown (Stream Copy)" since we don't know + which program was used to encode the audio + * In case we try to copy AAC audio from the input, we need to pass + the correct format to MEncoder or it will error out. Thus, use + -fafmttag 0x706d if we detect AAC + * Fixed a bug where copying AAC audio as as subsequent track + did not result in that track being added when remuxing to MP4 + due to a missing ffaac param in the case statement + * When doing video bitrate calculations for a target file size and + copying the audio, try to better detect the audio bitrate. If we + can't detect it or it's reported as 0 kbps, default to 0 kbps + * Small improvements and cleanups here and there + +* Sun Apr 13 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.6 + * Rewrote the audio_channels_decode_func() function. It is now + possible to output channels different that the decoded + channels amount. Note that this filter is very basic which + means it will output silent channels if the decoded channels + are less than the output channels + * Added chanfilter variable to the aac_hev2_func() function + * Support all supported channels in the PCM bitrate code for + target file size calculation + * Removed channels variable for MEncoder when copying audio + for subsequent tracks as it has no effect + * Display an informative message if the user has set a default + audio codec in the config file. Also check if we support it + or print an error message and exit + * Updated the channels metadata info code due to changes in the + audio_channels_decode_func() function + * Modifications to the audio_filters_func() and audio_filters_var_func() + functions + * Some small code cleanups + +* Sat Apr 12 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.5 + * Improved resolution detection for Blu-rays + * Improved the nlq preset + * Don't call the audio_channels_decode_func when copying the audio as + audio is copied 1:1 thus we don't need to set any channels + * Insert the channels filter in case the user wishes to have 4 or 5 + audio channels when decoding higher or lower amount of channels + * Various small code improvements + +* Sat Apr 12 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.4 + * Cosmetics: add an echo between the total found titles for Blu-ray and + the info about each title + * Cosmetics: remove double-quotes in empty echo's + * Display full seconds value for each found Blu-ray title + * Small code optimization to Blu-ray chapters info. Use a single variable + that holds the title we need to scan for chapters + * Warn and fallback to 8 channels in case user provides more than 8 channels + * Added support for PCM audio for subsequent audio tracks + +* Thu Apr 10 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.3 + * Display the length in seconds and minutes for every found Blu-ray title + * Implemented basic chapters encoding support for Blu-rays + * Rewrote the code for subtitles imports for MKV/MP4/OGM + * For DVDs/BDs, set default channels value to 6 when using other than copy + for audio + +* Wed Apr 09 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.2 + * Allow importing of mks (Matroska stream) subtitles into MKV. Such files + are usually created when dumping subs with the GUI version of mkvmerge + * Add -nosub when importing external subtitles into MKV/MP4/OGM to prevent + auto-loading of any embedded subs in the input file + * Use case statements to check the values of the $MAX_AMOUNT_AUD_TRACKS and + $MAX_AMOUNT_SUBS variables + * Auto-cropping was not possible when input is Blu-ray due to missing bd + param in the case statement + * Set default audio channels decode option to 6 when input is Blu-ray + +* Tue Apr 08 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.1 + * Fixed not being able to calculate video bitrate for target file size + when input is Blu-ray, due to missing $demuxer variable when calling + MPlayer + * Fixed DVD scanning in the -scan option + * Support Blu-ray scanning in the -scan option + * Display in the -sc option if MEncoder has Blu-ray support + * Warn and exit if user chooses Blu-ray as input but MEncoder doesn't support it + * Placed the $device and $vid variables after the $MPLAYEROPTS one in order for + the custom MPlayer options not to possibly overwrite these variables + * Modified the get_devices_func() function to allow files/folders as input + so that a user can scan a DVD ISO or VIDEO_TS directory, not just discs + * Fixed the colorprim code. $device and $vid variables were missing when + calling MPlayer to get the resolution height + +* Mon Apr 07 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.9.0 + * Initial, basic support for encoding from Blu-ray discs/ISOs/directories. + Requires MPlayer to be compiled with libbluray. As libbluray doesn't + support encrypted Blu-rays, it is not possible to encode such Blu-rays. + Encryption must first be stripped before encoding with h264enc + * Reduced some duplication in the audio code for the first track for MKV + * Adjusted the vbv_maxrate and vbv_bufsize for the bd40 and bdhq40 presets + to comply with the level limits + +* Sat Mar 29 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.7 + * Merged the neroaac/fdkaac part of the MP4Box code as they're identical + * Use a case statement to decide between --bluray and --avchd for tsMuxeR + * A few more function renaming to carry the _func at the end + +* Fri Mar 28 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.6 + * Fix a syntax error + +* Fri Mar 28 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.5 + * Use a single variable for keyint for the Blu-ray/AVCHD presets. Reduces a bit of duplication + * Reduced some duplication in the check_audio_codec_func() function by moving some of + the error messages into a new audio_codec_exit_func() function + * Allow muxing to TS when using neroAacEnc and/or FDKAAC in LC-AAC mode + * Merged the NEROAAC/FDKAAC parts in the mkvmerge code as they're identical, thus we + reduce a bit of duplication + * Updated the man page + +* Mon Mar 24 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.4 + * Add audio encoder info to the MKV global tags + * Renamed the mencoder_opts() function to mencoder_opts_func() for consistency reasons + * Fixed subtitles metadata info in the MKV global tags + +* Sun Mar 23 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.3 + * Bugfix: If using nosound and dumping subsequent subs, the audio option + for MEncoder was set to -ao null which is not recognized by MEncoder. + Change it to -nosound instead + +* Sat Mar 22 2014 Grozdan Nikolov <neutrino8@gmail.com> 9.8.2 + * Bugfix: for subsequent audio tracks, when using neroAacEnc as encoder, + the value of --aac-is-sbr used for HE-AAC by mkvmerge was set to 1:1.

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.

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.

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.

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.
