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.
