improved support for newer xvidcore. Also fixed a threading problem that
would often cause transcode to core dump right before exiting.
transcode-0.6.12
Changes:
o tccat: use '-T 1,-1 -P' instead of '-P 1'.
o --avi_limit option: Defaults to 0 (disabled) instead of 2GB.
Fixes:
o avilib: 64bit issues and other compiler support.
o v4l: building with linux-2.6 headers.
o xvid import: check for more library sonames.
o dvd import: The DVD device may be a char device (osx).
o im import: segmentation fault at closing time.
o tcrequant: upstream bugfixes.

o docs: layout fixes so it will look good on www.transcoding.org
o ffmpeg export: new codecs namely ffv1, asv1 and asv2.
o --export_prof option: sets mpeg "profiles" so that transcode
tries can be smart and guess clipping and zooming options.
o docs: DV to DVD HOWTO including scripts.
Improved:
o xvid4 export: synced with xvidcore-beta3. Please upgrade to this
release and also update your xvid4.cfg. New xvid4conf is available.

- update to transcode 0.6.7. besides bug fixes, major changes are:
- Experimental support for decoding and encoding divx5.0.5. I used
divx4linux-20030428 for development and testing.
- Added support for scanning MP3 files. tcscan will print the number
of MP3 chunks and the average bitrate of the file. It also
calculate the maximum AVI overhead.
- Simple color support for runtime warnings and errors. If you don't
like it disable it with --color 0 or --colour 0. If the output of
transcode is written to a pipe or file it will be automatically
disabled.
XXX - it doesn't run "aclocal" because the generated aclocal.m4 is wrong
and missing various required parts. the first failure comes from missing
HAVE_DLFCN_H macro which causes the build to fail... this of course means
it complains about wrong version of automake, but it seems to work for now.
transcode is a text console video-stream processing tool.
It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations.
Some example modules are included to enable import of MPEG-1/2,
Digital Video, and other formats. It also includes export
modules for writing to AVI files with DivX, OpenDivX, XviD,
Digital Video or other codecs. Direct DVD transcoding is also
supported. A set of tools is available to extract and decode
the sources into raw video/audio streams for import and to
enable post-processing of AVI files.
