v2.1
▶ New feature : the "Subtitle" module
1st part: Add subtitles for DVD purpose
• Most of text subtitles format are accepted: .srt, .ssa, .ass, from DVD Studio Pro format (.stl), from YouTube's time text subtitles (mpeg4-layer17) …and from images (.png).
• You can preview subtitles contents before adding them to your video (to avoid a bad characters display).
• You can re-synch subtitles to your video (when they begin and their playback speed).
…This implementation is not perfect (no progress bar yet when adding subtitles) but works :-)
▶ Subtitles related improvements:
• The Demux module: now extracts subtitles from your 'for DVD' file. So you could re-integrate them (via the Subtitle module) in another video or in your newly converted video (e.g.: reintegrate your original subtitles after a conversion of standard PAL-NTSC ;-))
• The DVD-VIDEO module:
- Automatically -well- displays your added subtitles.
- More compatible with 'approximate files from an external encoder' (e.g.: if your video contained valid subtitles, they will be preserved during the file correction).
- Now takes care of all your customized menu's titles (some were previously ignored).
- The 'chapters' feature (automatic or computed from your file infos) is more robust.
▶ Others improvements:
• encoding module:
- correct an aspect calculation error with anamorphous files (…files to be displayed other than their true size)
- handle some buggy files more (e.g.: files with multiples aspect informations)
- correct a uncommon failure (…with an NTSC video file with 5 duplicate frames every second, and converted to NTSC cinema mode!)
- correct some 'standard NTSC' bad behaviors (so most for american or japanese people).
• App's windows could not be badly displayed anymore
• Memory leak bugfix, big code cleanup, a lot of minor bug fixes, … the application is more reliable :-)
Enjoy :-)
