It's the first time this was required for StaxRip and hopefully the last time. change: Improved error handling. ## 0.9.2.4 (2006-01-15) fix: fixed two x264 bugs. new: Added automatic aspect ratio signaling, it is automatically used for XviD and x264 (not supported by DivX) whenever no resize filter is used. Muxer aspect ratio signaling was removed. ## 0.9.2.3 (2006-01-13) new: Workaround for DivXMux upper case file extension bug. new: If a setting has new default values StaxRip asks if the setting should be updated to new defaults or if the customizations (if any) should be kept. As example if better audio profiles are added StaxRip will ask if audio profiles should be updated. new: Video profile defaults. new: Audio profile defaults. change: More robust XviD and DivX support. change: More meaningful assistant warnings regarding incompatibilities between encoder, muxer and audio profile. ## 0.9.2.2 (2006-01-11) new: AVI demuxing using VirtualDubMod supporting, mp3, ac3 and wav. Removed AVI2WAV. new: Preparers can be enabled/disabled and other minor changes regarding preparers. new: Addition language info for audio tracks like directors comments is written to the filename. change: TreeView dialog used to replace, insert and add filters is now resizable and saves the window size. change: x264 comp check uses now --crf 18 instead of --qp 18. change: Audio files containing the name of the source file like the ones demuxed by DGIndex are now more reliable being automatically picked up. fix: x264 Single Pass - Quality was broke since --qrf instead of --crf was used. ## 0.9.2.1 (2006-01-09) update: XviD 1.1.0 fix: Fixed bug happening while StaxRip starts. ## 0.9.2.0 (2006-01-07) new: Full controls over x264 turbo switches. new: Additional x264 CLI switches that don't have GUI controls yet can be added. ## 0.9.1.9 (2006-01-05) fix: Fixed crash using second audio track only. fix: Warning and refusing opening files with unicode name as it's not supported by some applications e.g. DGIndex. fix: It's no longer possible to ignore crucial assistant instructions and warnings. new: Enabled MP4 and MKV input for the MKV muxer. new: x264 quality mode (--qrf). change: Updated to x264 395 wich fixes also incompatibility bugs. change: Added delay handling to audio profiles since it's better to use the encoder instead of the muxer to handle delay. change: Only audio files are picked up when opening a source file that are supported by the audio profile. change: Legacy x264 encoder removed. change: x264 encoder command line preview includes now all file paths. ## 0.9.1.8 (2006-01-01) fix: fixed bug in settings dialog and maybe other TreeView based dialogs causing a crash on some systems. new: experimental/beta new x264 encoder. ## 0.9.1.7 (2005-12-25) change: streamlined profile and quality mode features. new: Easy way to add forced subtitles. ## 0.9.1.6 (2005-12-21) new: Null Encoder to remux a already encoded project. new: Auto Compressibility Check option. new: Auto Mode: Normally StaxRip performs various tasks directly after a source file is opened like demuxing, auto crop, auto resize etc. In Auto Mode all this tasks are performed when the encoding is started (either manually or by the joblist). new: Profiles can be edited from within the profiles dialog, even encoder and AviSynth profiles! change: Simplified AviSynth menu. ## 0.9.1.5 (2005-12-16) new: Editor for command lines and scripts with support for preview and execute. new: More than just one command line can be executed. fix: A couple of bugs fixes were fixed. ## 0.9.1.4 (2005-12-13) new: Configuration dialog for muxing audio profiles (language and delay). new: Delay handling for MKV, DIVX and MP4 muxing. new: Chapters for MKV and MP4 muxing. new: Aspect Ratio parameter for mkvmerge. fix: language parameter wasn't applied properly using AAC with mkvmerge. ## 0.9.1.3 (2005-12-09) new: DMF (DivX Media Format) support incl. vobsubs. ## 0.9.1.2 (2005-12-08) new: mkvmerge including vobsubs. new: Auto renaming of audio files (VTS_01_1 T01 becomes VTS_01_1 de-German). fix: Detection of application versions. ## 0.9.1.1 (2005-12-05) new: MP4Box subtitles. new: Help and web design and content. change: Main menu in the main form had to be reseted because of various changes. ## 0.9.1.0 (2005-11-30) fix: fixed bug in zip extraction code that was writing a false time to the extracted files. ## 0.9.0.9 (2005-11-29) new: x264 --thread switch. new: MP4Box par switch. new: Added new macro %pos_ms% which returns the current preview position in milliseconds. Useful to start e.g. MPC (Media Player Classic) at the current frame position using the Execute action of the customizable menu of the main dialog or the menu in the preview. For MPC use the following arguments: "%source_dir%%target_name%.avs" /start %pos_ms% minor: fixed auto resize not working in some circumstances. ## 0.9.0.8 (2005-11-27) new: MP4Box switches lang, fps ## 0.9.0.7 (2005-11-24) new: The minimal and maximal value of the resolution resize slider in the main dialog can be customized in the settings. The default value is 720, for HDTV a value up to 1920 is possible. new: Setup wizard like dialog allowing to config basic default project options. The dialog pops up on the very first startup and when the default project is reseted. new: AVI2WAV which extracts any audio format to a pseudo wav file (original format but with riff wav header and wav file extension. BeSweet supports such files. AVI2WAV is also available with the download feature. new: DirectShowSource AviSynth filter. new: trellis and me for x264. new: Added to x264 options if and how the target file size should be adjusted after the compressibility check. new: MP4Box from 2005-11-08. fix: Source code didn't compile out of the box because the Stax library wasn't included. change: Auto detection of audio files is now restricted in that audio files must begin with the file name of the video source file. change: AviSynth 2.5.6a is now required and available with the download feature. change: Theming code had to be changed which I could not test if it works under Windows 2000. change: Many critical internal changes to the complex x264 dialog were done and only few test were made. ## 0.9.0.6 (2005-11-15) new: Mixed references for the x264 encoder fix: Added audio delay macro to command line audio encoder and reseted all audio related settings ## 0.9.0.5 (2005-11-14) fix: Command Line Encoder was always using x264 as command ## 0.9.0.4 (2005-11-12) fix: fixed screwed dialog drawing on systems with no theme
