version 200808a - release year and month is now used as the version number. - fix aspect ratio bugs. mtn now should behave the same as vlc's snapshot. - bug: the Video: lines in stderr no longer show input scaling info ( => WxH). scaling info is still shown in the final output image and the info text file. this cannot be fixed easily. - add -a aspect_ratio option to override input file's display aspect ratio. - add non-seek mode -- slower but more accurate timing. non-seek is good for small time step or small clips. - seek or non-seek mode is auto selected and can be overridden by -z or -Z. - fix possible extra space char after video size info of previous version. - make shot size even. this should fix vertical dots when # of column is odd. - output files modified since program start time will not be overwritten. - the finding of new shots to evade blank & blur is improved. # of skipped shots should be reduced. - negative time step (-s) is removed. it doesn't seem to be useful. - previous versions reported # of decoded shots/s; changed to # of final shots/s - default info_color, background color, and jpeg quality has been changed. version 2.45 2008/06/28 - individual images saved (-I option) now have HH_MM_SS as a part of the suffix (requested by RACER LUPINE (racerlupine)). - fix issues with flv files. it should work now. (bug reported by: dragonbook) - prefer average bitrate calculated from file_size/duration - remove [PAR DAR] from ffmpeg's avcodec_string. this might produce an extra space char after video size information. - skip non key packets when a key frame is difficult to find. this seems to help a lot for files with vorbis audio and files with "warning: first frame is no keyframe". - win32 binary: gcc4 is used instead of gcc3 version 2.44 2007/12/05 - add -N option to save file info to a text file (requested by: azumi23) version 2.43 2007/11/19 - add -W option for dont overwrite files - fix a bug when a video cant get decoded if we dont decode the first frame, particularly with mpeg1 files. bug reported by: swmaherl, jake_o - a small change to edge detection - skip non reference frames -- speed up for files which cant seek accurately version 2.42 2007/11/15 - version number is bumped to 2.42. hope that'll sound better. hahahaha. also, i am running out of ideas so updates will be infrequent. helps, comments, patches, or feature requests are welcomed. :) - add -F option to format font color & size - add -L option to change locations of text - fix a bug finding a key frame - fix a bug when parsing command line args - cleanup some mess in the code - a small change to edge detection version 0.61 2007/09/06 - add unicode filename support in windows! console output doesn't work though. you might want to change the font if the default doesn't work. - thai quick fix is removed because it's not needed anymore - add edge detection (-D option)! doesn't work very well if movies have poor quility or borders. - ignore negative start_time; is this ok? - change default minimum height to 150 (-h 150) - small modification to blank screen detection - there're a lot of changes. hopefully that won't introduce new bugs. :) version 0.60 2007/08/22 - windows thai quick fix is only done in thai codepage (874) - make -r override -s, so users dont need to use -s 0 anymore - add more usage in windows - fix -O option with trailing \ in windows - convert all tabs in source code to spaces - use -mms-bitfields -mcpu=pentium -march=i386 gcc options in windows according to http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html version 0.59 2007/08/18 - quick fix for displaying thai filenames in the output image in windows; need to handle unicode in windows to do this properly - add more checks & warnings - in windows, change the default to pause before exiting - add -P option for dont pause; override -p version 0.58 2007/08/17 - guessing duration when unknown should work with dvd's .vob files - timestamping is turned off when we need to guess duration - add -I option for saving individual shots to separate files - add .nut, .ogg to default search version 0.57 2007/08/08 - fix program crash when couln't find codec - add a few more checks for really short movies version 0.56 2007/08/07 - fix timestamp when start_time > 0 to match other programs - fix a small memory leak -- there seem to be more leaks, maybe in ffmpeg - add seeking by byte - try harder to evade blank screens - always order info : Audio, Video, Subtitles version 0.55 2007/08/03 - remove -d option for decoding # frames after seeking version 0.54 2007/08/03 - decode until we get a key frame! version 0.53 20070802 - add more checks for command line arguments - create output file before processing - create output directory if not exist version 0.52 20070801 - add -O option - fix start_time handling for DVD's .vob files version 0.51 20070731 - add -p option version 0.50 20070731 - first beta release
