Core

  • New build system, allowing 64-bit binaries (around 10% faster)
  • Soft subtitles and Closed Captions:
    • DVD Closed Captions
    • ATSC Closed Captions
    • SRT subtitle import
    • Text soft subtitles in MP4 and MKV output
    • Bitmap soft subtitles in MKV output
  • Better support for DVD inputs:
    • Uses libdvdnav
    • DVD angles support
    • Workaround for libdvdread malloc bomb on invalid PGC entry
    • DVD drive region detection support in Linux
    • Handles DVD programs with more than 16 streams
    • No longer tries to detect and discard duplicate titles when scanning
    • Libdvdnav patched to perform read error recovery
    • Libdvdread patched to allow raw device access in Windows
    • Handles poorly mastered DVDs that had the menus ripped out of them
  • Better support for non-DVD inputs:
    • Preserves MP4 metadata
    • TrueHD
    • DTS-HD demuxing
    • 8 bit audio
    • Better handling of transport streams where audio starts first
    • Better handling of transport streams that have been spliced together, leading to duplicate timestamps
    • Better VC-1 frame detection
    • Fixes bug that was causing one sec. of audio to be dropped on many ffmpeg files
    • Looks harder for aspect ratio info from DV sources
    • No longer truncates the last (dummy) chapter
    • Allows specifying field parity for detelecine and decomb
  • Better AV sync
  • Support for sources with no audio
  • DTS passthrough for MKV
  • x264 bumped from r1169 to r1347, which means speed optimizations, new default settings (see r2742 commit comment), the magic of macroblock tree rate control (mbtree), a new CRF curve (meaning you will get different, generally lower bitrates at the same RF, with similar quality metrics), and weighted P-Frames (disabled by default for Baseline encodes and the AppleTV preset).
  • Better sample interleaving
  • Better, optional deinterlacer for decomb (EEDI2)
  • New mode structure for the decomb filter
  • Variable verbose logging levels
  • Fixed timing for first two frames coming out of filters
  • Libtheora bumped to 1.1.0
  • Improvements to our theora implementation (2 pass encoding + soft target rate control)
  • Caters to Theora's insistence on content having mod16 framing dimensions specified
  • Flushes LAME encoder's final packets
  • Fixed interjob framerate calculation
  • Fixed pthreads regression in cygwin
  • Tweaks for packaging tools
  • Solaris 10 build support

  • Partially updated advanced x264 tab
  • New built-in presets
  • Use libdvdnav by default on DVD sources
  • Removed Constant QP encoding option for x264 (use CRF)
  • Various bug fixes and UI tweaks
  • x264 turbo 1st pass mode now uses subme=2 not subme=1

Mac

  • Core Audio AAC encoding
  • H.264 video source decoding crash fixed
  • Queue displays varying row heights based on encode settings

  • Queue can now be started from main window
  • Growl for Windows notification support
  • General UI improvements
  • Preset import
  • Preferred language control for audio dubs and subtitles
  • Fixed file extensions resetting to m4v when enabling chapter markers in mkv
  • Faster updating of GUI elements from CLI data

  • Numerous fixes in the Picture Settings Panel and CLI Query Handling code.
  • Bug Fixes and Usability improvements.

Linux

  • General UI improvements
  • Inhibits sleep mode while encoding
  • Single title scan
  • Chapter duration display
  • Notifications when encodes complete
  • Tray minimization
  • Full screen preview
  • Preset import/export
  • Preferred language control for audio dubs and subtitles
  • Preferences rearrangement

  • Use .m4v when soft subs are enabled
  • Alternate angle encoding fix
  • Only strips drive letters for Windows builds
  • Show correct audio format info when it's been sanitized for incompatibilities
  • Preserve chapter list modifications made to queued jobs
  • Fixed error when navigating chapter titles with the keyboard
  • Bug Fixes.

CLI

  • Options to handle new subtitle, anamorphic, and preview features
  • --srt-file, --srt-codeset, --srt-offset, --srt-lang, --srt-default
  • --native-dub option lets users request dubbing instead of subs when the audio isn't in their native language
