assembly language module zoom_filter_xmmx.c breaks when optimized. Some
googling indicates that this is also encountered with FreeBSD and Linux.
A review of the CVS tree for xine shows that this module has been
removed. As as module is only built if MMX is detected (HAVE_FFMMX
defined) removing the module should not break anything; that is the
approach taken in this new patch that removes building zoom_filter_xmmx
from Makefile.in for xineplug_post_goom.la
0.50.18 - [stable branch] - Sun Apr 18 2004, joern
Bugfixes:
- ac3 passthrough was broken. Thanks for reporting
to James Broberg <jbrobergAT cs.rmit.edu.au> and
TOSOVSKY Ales <tosovsky AT znalecka.cz>
0.50.17 - [stable branch] - Sat Apr 10 2004, joern
Features:
- support for another transcode deinterlacer (I=5),
suggested by Jean-Yves Simon <lethalwp AT tiscali.be>
Bugfixes:
- mp3 samplerate setting didn't work, only 48khz
for CVD. Thanks for the report to Neverstopdreaming
<neverstopdreaming AT tiscali.it>.
- dvd::rip couldn't open empty project files
- prevent timeouts when encoding Ogg/Vorbis in cluster mode
- vobsub creation now splits with millisecond precision,
thanks for the patch to Jean-Yves Simon
Changes:
- patch-ab no longer needed
0.9.4:
======
- mkvextract: new feature: Added support for extracting TTA tracks
to TTA files.
new feature: Implemented the extraction of chapter
information and tags as a CUE sheet which is
the reverse operation to using a CUE sheet
with mkvmerge's '--chapters' parameter.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: SRT file recognition failed if the file
contained spaces at the end of the first line.
bug fix: Broken VobSub .idx files which contain
timestamps going backwards no longer crash
mkvmerge. A warning will be printed for such
inconsistencies.
bug fix: The Matroska reader contained a nice little
illegal memory access (introduced in 0.9.3 with
the fixes to the 'default track' handling).
bug fix: The SSA reader was segfaulting if a line
contained an empty text field.
bug fix: The CUE sheet parser interpreted a timestamp
as HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, seconds). The
correct spec is HH:MM:FF (hours, minutes,
frames with 1 frame = 1/75 second).
new feature: The pregap from a CUE sheet is converted
into two sub-chapters (one for "INDEX 00", one
for "INDEX 01"). These sub-chapters have their
'hidden' flag set.
- mkvinfo: bug fix: Fixed compilation for MATROSKA_VERSION = 2.
bug fix: Fixed compilation with gcc 3.2.
- mmg: new feature: Added support for the two flags 'hidden' and
'enabled' in the chapter editor.
Changes:
- use bzip2 distribution tarball
0.7.1:
======
- KaxClusterPosition is already in use and therefore a v1 element
- various cosmetic changes to Makefile and build system itself
Changes:
- add patch to fix compilation when MATROSKA_VERSION is set to 2 or bigger.
Patch sent to Moritz Bunkus and it's fixed in svn repo.
- take MAINTAINERSHIP
0.9.3:
======
- mmg: bug fix: The 'default track' checkbox was broken.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Using '--cues ...:all' was broken for audio tracks
that use lacing.
bug fix: The latest OpenDML AVI files generated by mencoder
were not read correctly. Only the first RIFF chunk
was processed.
bug fix: The default track feature did not work correctly
with the new --track-order.
new feature: When using a CUE sheet as a chapter file
mkvmerge will automatically convert some of the
entries to tags.
new feature: Added support for TTA lossless audio files.
If the user does not specify a --language for a track 'und'
('undefined') will now be used instead of 'eng'. The user
can use the new option '--default-language' to change that.
- do not define MATROSKA_VERSION=2 anymore. it's not needed for mplayer
any longer and no other application needs it. per discussion with Moritz
Bunkus.
- add test target, do not build tests as a part of normal build
- i can as well add myself as MAINTAINER..

Changes:
========
- mkvextract: bug fix: Video extraction was not working correctly
on big endian systems.
- mkvmerge, mmg: new feature: --track-order now controls the track
creation order globally, meaning that it isn't used for each file
but only once. This allows the tracks to be created in ANY order
(before it was first ordered by file, then by track). For mmg this
means that the track list contains all available tracks and that
there are no 'up' and 'down' buttons in the file list anymore.
- mkvmerge: new feature: You can specifiy the time after which to
split with ms precision.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed more of that 'garbage at the beginning
of MP3 streams' issue.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Reading of broken / unfinished AVI files was
broken on Windows.
- mmg: Updated the mkvmerge GUI guide to reflect changes and
additions.
- mmg: new feature: Added 'minimize' buttons to the two 'mkvmerge
is running' dialogs.
- mmg: new feature: Added an option for automatically calling
'File -> new' after a job has been added to the job queue.
- mmg: bug fix: The job manager did not always catch all of
mkvmerge's output, especially if a job failed.
- mmg: new feature: Line wrap the tooltips on Windows.
- mmg: new feature: Suggest a name for a new job based on the
output file name.
- mmg: new feature: Temporarily disaable 'always on top' if the
muxing or the job dialog are visible.
- mmg: new feature: Ask for confirmation before adding a job if
there's already an old job with the same description.
- mmg: bug fix: The functions 'move up', 'move down' and 'delete'
in the 'job' dialog were not working correctly on Windows.
- mmg: bug fix: The 'always on top' option was ignored when
starting mmg.

Changes:
- mkvmerge: Dropped supoprt for 'aviclasses' (one of the two
libraries for accessing AVI files). This mostly
affects the Windows users as I've used aviclasses
and not avilib on Windows so far. The 0.9.0-pre-builds
so far haven't shown any problems, though, so I hope
this doesn't break anything.
new feature: mmg will set the 'display dimensions' automatically
for AVI files whose video track is MPEG4 and has the
pixel aspect ratio stored in the bitstream.
bug fix: The improved MP3 garbage detection was broken resulting
in an error message from mkvmerge in some weird
bug fix: Matroska tracks can use lacing (several frames inside
one Matroska block with only one timecode for the whole
block). mkvmerge did not recreate the timecodes for the
frames 1..n in the lacing correctly.
feature removed: Dropped support for 'time slices'. They were not
used, didn't offer the player any additional value and
caused massive increase in overhead.
bug fix: The OGM fix in 0.9.0 broke handling for non-broken OGM
files a bit.
new feature: Added support for the audio/video synchronization
method used by NanDub (garbage at the beginning of audio
tracks inside an AVI) for AC3 and MPEG audio tracks. In
other words: If an AVI is read and an audio track contains
garbage right at the beginning then the corresponding
audio delay is calculated and used instead of simply
discarding the garbage.
new feature: Enabled reading MPEG4 video from MP4 files (nope,
they're not stored in Matroska's native mode yet).
- mmg
bug fix: The job manager did not handle the conversion of non-ASCII
characters correctly.
new feature: The action 'delete job' in the job manager will also
delete the file in the 'jobs' subdirectory.
new feature: Added an option to make mmg stay always on top (only
on Windows).
new feature: Added a dialog for adding arbitrary command line options
which includes a list of advanced options to chose from.
The Quasar DV codec (libdv) is a software codec for DV video, the
encoding format used by most digital camcorders, typically those that
support the IEEE 1394 (a.k.a. FireWire or i.Link) interface. libdv was
developed according to the official standards for DV video: IEC 61834
and SMPTE 314M.
Submitted in PR pkg/24313 by Osamu OISHI with cleanup and update to
0.102 by me.
changes:
rc4a:
Some have experienced problems with rc4 due a bug managing the colorkey
overlay for XV (XVideo). With some video cards (most notably Matrox), it
caused parts of the image to not be displayed properly. These bugs have
now been fixed. Others have experienced compilation problems in our
previous releases resulting in static noise being produced for WMA streams.
This has also been fixed in rc4a.
Users of 5.1 and other audio surround setups will need to reconfigure their
xine settings. A newer, more user-friendly, "Speaker arrangement" config
item is now provided and must be used.
rc5:
xine-lib 1-rc5 contains important fixes from our previous release,
most notably compilation fixes for AMD64 plataform, fixed
downloading of reference files (asx, rm, etc) with HTTP, some
crashes with win32 DLLs and playback issues of some MPEG streams.
There are cool new features as well, like the surround 5.1 upmix
plugin and MacOS X support.
distinfo file and that both the gmplayer and mplayer-share distinfo
files must be maintained.
(out of 25 files between them, only 3 were actually shared.. oops)
imported by me mainly for the up and coming tunesbrowser import.
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple mp3 playback to complex
audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
This package provides the mad plugin for GStreamer.
Changes between 0.7.1 and 0.7.2:
--------------------------------
Core support:
* Bookmarks feature for easier seeking/access inside medias.

* Packetizer interfaces between demux and codec when needed
(allows using ffmpeg plugin to decode MPEG streams and better aac decoding).
* Support for Theora alpha3 (both decoding and encoding).
Input:
* --start-time <sec> and --stop-time <sec> to start and stop playing a
file at the specified amount of seconds. Only works with a few
fileformats (avi, mov, mkv, mp4 )
* Improved directory access module.
* New "file-cat" option to play truncated movies.
* Better handling of meta info (title, author, description, etc...).
* New options to pass meta info to the input.

* mmsh streaming fixes.
* Fixed infinite loop in the AVI demux on broken/incomplete files.
Subtitles:
* Subviewer and subviewer v2 subtitles support.
* Ability to choose autodetected subtitles path.
* Subtitles delay can be changed in real time with hotkeys.
Stream output:
* Improved session announcement system.
* Minimize threads usage by default.
* Added faster than realtime stream output (limited by CPU) for file output.
* Improved MOV/MP4 muxer.
* Improved MPEG TS muxer.
* Improved transrater.
* Meta info options used by the muxers.
* New configuration system.
* Better audio channels downmixing when transcoding.
VideoLAN manager:
* New videolan (media) manager (vlm): a little manager designed to launch
and manage multiple streams from within one instance of VLC.
* Supports live streams and VoD.
* Supports scheduling.
* Telnet interface for vlm.
* HTTP interface for vlm.
Interfaces:
* Skins II (Windows and Linux only)
- Ability to embed video output.
- Support for bitmap fonts.
- Lots of improvements.
* wxWindows (default Windows and Linux interface)
- New design and set of icons.
- Ability to embed video output.
- Support for hotkeys.
- Support for bookmarks.
* Mac OS X
- Support for 'groups' and playlist item properties.
- Better hotkeys handling.
Mac OS X port:
* OpenGL video output is now the default when available.
* Added FAAC encoder (mp4a).
* Audio output fix to work with multiple streams on a HAL device.
* Possible fix for conflict with CodeTek VirtualDesktop (untested).
Win32 port:
* DirectShow input plugin should work with more devices.
* Disable monitor power down when watching movies.
* Improved Windows installer.
Linux port:
* PowerPC fixes.
Misc:
* Improvements to the Goom visualisation plugin.
* Roku HD1000 audio output
Changes:
- mkvmerge
bug fix: Improved handling for OGM files. Streams that
are lacking the comment packet are handled better.
bug fix: Some MP3 streams are padded in the front with trash
(mostly those in AVI files). This trash might contain
valid MP3 headers which do not match the remaining headers
for the actual track. Both the MP3 reader and the MP3
packetizer can now skip up to one of those bogus headers
in the trash.
bug fix: The OGM reader was not Endian safe.
bug fix: Audio sync for Vorbis was partially broken for positive
offsets.
Rewrite of the VobSub handling code.
- mmg
bug fix: On some occasions the chapter editor thought there was no
language associated with a chapter name and complained
about that.
bug fix: The chapter editor did not honor the values selected for
'country' and 'language'.
Removed the 'advanced' tab. Those options shouldn't be used anyway.
(If you use another platform, please share your details.)
This fixes a problem where under Linux, the sun and xv
plugins are not installed and then 36 additional new plugins
are installed (Linux only). (Thank you to Sebastian Prause
for Linux PLIST information.)
Use PLIST_SUBST for the i386 files and remove PLIST.i386.

Dirac is a prototype video codec, under development by BBC R&D, and initially
released in March 2003.
Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at resolutions from QCIF
(180x144) to HDTV (1920x1080) progressive or interlaced. It uses wavelets,
motion compensation and arithmetic coding and aims to be competitive with
other state of the art codecs.

changes:
This release is a major update on xine-ui.
It comes with a big cleanup of the user interface, including an improved context
menu, and lots of details of the included "xitk" toolkit.
Additionally, this release fixes some security issues (referenced in XSA-2004-2).
Therefore, we recommend you to upgrade as soon as possible, especially if you are
using xine to play URLs/MRLs you obtained from
also fix some pthread_mutex abuse, and use GNU readline for xine-remote
changes:
This release improves playback of some streams, reduces flickering
of OSD and brings a whole bunch of updated libraries.
It does also fix a vulnerability in xine's RTSP streaming code.
See XSA-2004-3 for more information!
XXX powerpc asm stuff needs to be checked
XXX didn't test the "arts" stuff
-properly libtoolize some libraries to get dynamically loadable modules,
use a hack from SDL to make libtool work with nasm (thanks wiz for
the hint)
-run aclocal and autoconf, otherwise the autoconf version skew scews
things up
XXX we shouldn't use autoconf et al for the build but commit
patches to configure and Makefile.in
-make sure we don't get trapped by the X11R6 freetype2 nonsense
This tool creates XviD configuration files. The generated configuration
file is meant to be read by transcode's xvid4 export module. This module
(and the configuration file) is intended to be used with XviD 1.0
(dev-api-4).
Submitted to pkgsrc-bugs by bsd4ever@nospam.lan with some minor
cleanup by me.
Changes:
- explicitly disable wxWindows support
- mark it as using c++
- prepare for mmg import
- delint
0.8.9:
======
- mmg: new feature: mmg will ask for confirmation before overwriting
a file. This can be turned off on the settings tab.
- mmg: new feature: Implement drag'n'drop of files onto the input,
attachment and chapter tabs. For the input and attachment tabs
it works like pressing the 'add' button. On the chapters tab it
works like calling 'Chapter Editor -> Open'.
- mkvinfo/mmg: Enabled compilation with wxWidgets 2.5 and Unicode
enabled builds of wxWidgets.
- all: Increased the precision for timecodes in chapter files to
nanoseconds (optionally, you can still use fewer digits after
the '.').
- mkvmerge: Fixes for compilation with gcc 3.4.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Some strings read from RealMedia files were not
zero-terminated resulting in broken track recognition for some
files.
gst-plugins-* packages. Generating a description during installation
is not well supported and causes problems when creating the README
files, for example.
Changes:
0.8.8:
======
- mkvtoolnix now depends on libebml 0.7.0 and libmatroska 0.7.0.
- mkvinfo: bug fix: mkvinfo was forcing libmatroska not to handle
unknown elements and crashed on those.
- mmg: new feature: When adding Matroska files the video track's
display dimensions are displayed as well.
- mmg: bug fix: On non-Windows systems some combinations of wxWindows
and GTK caused continuous 100% CPU usage after a special call
to wxExecute.
- mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented reading AAC from AVIs.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: The Flac packetizer was accessing uninitialized
memory resulting in a crash on Windows.
- mkvemrge: bug fix: Fixed the handling of RealMedia files with 'multirate'
tracks (again).
- mkvmerge: bug fix: On some rare occasions chapters were not written
correctly when splitting was active.
- avilib: bug fix: Fixed compilation on big endian systems.
0.8.7:
======
- mkvinfo: new feature: Added a terse output format via '-s'.
- mkvmerge: new feature: If using MPEG4 video and no aspect ratio or display
dimensions are given mkvmerge will extract the aspect ratio
information from the stream and automatically set the display
dimensions accordingly.
- mkvmerge: bug fix: Using audio sync on AC3 tracks read from Matroska files
did not work.
- mkvextract: new feature: Added extraction of RealAudio and RealVideo tracks
to RealMedia files.
- mmg: new feature: Added a 'job queue'. The current settings can be added as
a new job, and all pending jobs can be started for batch processing
without user interaction.
Changes:

AcidRip is a Gtk2::Perl application for ripping and encoding DVD's. It
neatly wraps MPlayer and MEncoder, which I think is pretty handy, seeing
as MPlayer is by far the best bit of video playing kit around for *nix.
As well as creating a simple Graphical Interface for those scared of
getting down and dirty with MEncoders command line interface, It also
automates the process in a number of ways:
* Parses DVD into contents tree
* Finds longest title
* Calculate video bitrate for given filesize
* Finds black bands and crops them
* Gives suggestions for improved performance
* Other stuff!

Matroska files.
MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files.
With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files,
extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge)
Matroska files from other media files.
From pkgsrc-wip, created by Sergey Svishchev with modifications by me.
