DVD2SVCD is enkele dagen geleden bijgewerkt naar versie 1.2.3 build 1. De naam is ongetwijfeld historisch zo gegroeid, maar dekt niet meer de hele lading. Het programma is namelijk in staat om op eenvoudige wijze DVD, DVB, VOB, MPEG of AVI naar DVD, SVCD of VCD om te zetten. Daarvoor wordt gebruik gemaakt van programma's als vStrip of DVDDecrypter om de dvd te rippen, DVD2AVI, Mpeg2dec, Avisynth en Cinema Craft Encoder. Je hoeft alleen maar in te stellen naar hoeveel cd's je wilt converteren, welk audio- en ondertitelkanaal er gebruikt moet worden en het programma doet de rest. In deze release is helaas nog steeds geen ondersteuning voor CCE 2.7 toegevoegd. Wel zijn de volgende veranderingen aangebracht:
Added:Enhancement:
- Now you can also convert AVI with AR of 1:1 (TV caps, DV). It's actually the same resizing algo as in the good ol' days of dvd2svcd 1.2.1 B3.
Change:
- All DVD2AVI and MPEG2DecXX.dll support has been removed. Only Donald Graft's DGMPGDec is supported (it is based on dvd2avi, but Donald has made tremendous improvements on it)
- Support for latest QuEnc, including special Matrix files
- The programs in the Finalize tab is now changing depending on what output type you select (DVD, SVCD or VCD)
Bug fix:
- If you've selected DVD output and No Images, the files are muxed with MPlex instead of bbMPEG
Fix:
- Grande bug fixed in AVI to whatever when using the internal routines. If a chunk had a size of 0 it would stop demuxing the rest of the AVI fil leaving the audio incomplete. (Thanks to Nick and manolito)
- The AC3 bitrate in an AVI was not taken into account when "No Audio Conversion" was selected.
- Extraction of DTS stream 0x8a is now working
[break]
- IMDB query is now working again
- If you're trying to convert joined AVI files with an AC3 stream the muxer could fail due to a bad frame at the joinpoint. DVD2SVCD is now checking the entire AC3 file for bad frames (wrong length frames). This is usually such a few frames that you will not notice any sync problems.
