2008-11-23 - h264enc 8.6.0
	* Bugfix: add the $ofps variable to MEncoder when dumping a second subtitle.
	  Also enable pcm as audio to maintain sync with the video. A small
	  performance hit but it's worth it
	* Added support for dumping one more subtitle. This brings it to a total
	  of 3 subtitles that can be dumped to disk and imported into the MKV
	  and/or MP4 container
	* Dramatically simplified the TS/Blu-ray muxing code
	* Implemented initial real batch support for files. As of now, one can encode
	  a bunch of video files in a directory and automatically remux them to
	  MKV/MP4/OGM. The TS container is not supported yet due to me being
	  lazy. The user only needs to configure one of the files in a given
	  directory, and all the settings will apply to the other files as well
	* Moved the DVD device detection code into its own function to reduce
	  some code duplication
	* Made the encoding priority level global. It now applies to audio/video
	  dumping, audio encoding, subtitles dumping and container muxing

2008-11-20 - h264enc 8.5.9
	* Rewrote the DVD part of the video_subtitles_func() function. It now
	  supports dumping two subtitles to disk
	* Updated the MP4/MKV muxing code to support importing of two subtitles
	* Dramatically simplified the MP4/MKV/OGM batch exporting code. This
	  reduces a lot of code duplication
	* Bugfix in the video_subtitles_func() function for SRT subtitles for
	  video files. Wrong variable used
	* When encoding samples, make sure to take care of any subtitles that
	  might have been dumped to disk
	* Don't exit if the user provides a floating point value for the Vorbis
	  audio codec. Instead warn and use the default value.
	* New formula to calculate the video bitrate for a target filesize. The
	  previous formula, which was directly taken from the ripdvd project,
	  incorrectly calculates the bitrate which often results by missing the
	  target filesize by as much as 30 MB. The new formula also uses floating
	  point precision and has been tested agains the calculators of MeGUI and
	  Avidemux
	* Removed support for me-prepass
	* Removed neroAacEnc quality-based encoding mode. It is incompatible with
	  video bitrate calculation for a target size and I cannot find any info
	  on quality -> average bitrate mappings.
	* Updated the HW compatible presets. Changed H.264 Level for the SD presets
	  from 3.1 to 3.0 and for the HD presets from 4.1 to 4.0. Also updated the
	  vbv_maxrate values according to Level specs
	* Restructured the Blu-ray presets. Now there are four different Blu-ray
	  presets available: bd40, bdhq40, bd41, bdhq41. bd40 is Main profile
	  @ Level 4.0, bdhq40 is High profile @ Level 4.0, bd41 is Main profile
	  @ Level 4.1 and bdhq41 is High profile @ Level 4.1
	* Allow CRF encoding to be used with some device presets (ps3, xbox360, appletv)
	* Updated the man page
	* Some cleanups

2008-11-10 - h264enc 8.5.8
	* Added support for the aacplusenc AAC+ audio encoder from Matteo Croce
	* Updated the MP4 & MKV batch exporting and muxing code to support
	  the aacplusenc encoder
	* Display elapsed time when encoding samples
	* Added NAL HRD to the Blu-ray presets. This requires a patched x264
	  with the NAL HRD patch. The patch along with install instructions
	  can be downloaded from http://h264enc.sourceforge.net/download.html
	* Added option nal_hrd to the 'preset.cfg' skeleton file
	* In some cases it is possible for h264enc to leave its unique temp directory.
	  Find those directories and remove them if they are 15 or more days old
	* Added support for deinterlacing at half frame rate. Useful for interlaced
	  content that's running at 50 or 59.940 fps (100i/120i)
	* Updated the source_fps_func() function
	* Removed support for the MP2, WMA and ADPCM audio codecs. No one uses
	  these codecs in combination with H.264 video
	* Removed support for MPEG-2 AAC audio
	* Reduced some code duplication in the set_output_filename_func() function
	  by moving path and extension checking into its own function
	* SSIM and PSNR statistics are now enabled by default
	* Removed the noise filter. No real use for it
	* Updated the audio_resample_func() function
	* Updated the check_audio_codec_func() function
	* Updated the genconfig_func() function
	* Updated the man page
	* Updated the README.h264enc file

2008-10-28 - h264enc 8.5.7
	* Improved DVD handling. Now there's a menu where the user can select
	  the input type: ISO image, VIDEO_TS folder or DVD drive
	* Presets updates: updated the b_adapt option. It supports parameters.
	  Also updated the standard presets to use level 4.1 instead of 5.1
	  and enabled psy_rd (psychovisual optimization) for all presets that
	  use subq 6 or higher
	* Added two Archos 605 presets (ar and arhq). The presets are directly
	  lifted from AutoMKV (thanks buzzqw) but are a bit modified to get a
	  somewhat higher quality
	* Added two Blackberry 9000 presets (bb and bbhq)
	* Added two Blu-ray presets (bd and bdhq). When using these presets,
	  h264enc can create a Blu-ray disc structure if tsMuxeR is available
	  on the user's system. Latest tsMuxeR version for Linux is 1.7.3(b)
	  which has a bug when creating a Blu-ray structure. h264enc has a
	  workaround for this
	* Added access unit delimiters (aud) for the PS3, Blu-ray and HW compatible
	  presets
	* Set the field order of the tfields filter to auto detection
	* Bugfix: when using the presets for the iPod/iPhone, h264enc didn't set
	  the SAR to 1:1 when remuxing to MP4. Bug was introduced due to renaming
	  of the portable device presets
	* Removed AAC object type complexity menu. AAC (FAAC) is best used in
	  low complexity mode
	* Small improvement to the TS container code. Always write the FPS value
	  to the meta file when muxing to TS. Also use mencoder/mplayer instead
	  of MP4Box to extract video and audio
	* Added extra strong denoising preset for the denoise3d & hqdn3d filters
	* Implemented configuration file support. As of this version, h264enc
	  automatically generates a config file in its configuration directory.
	  The config file can be used by the user to modify/set the paths to
	  various programs. This can be useful if the user has multiple
	  executables of the same program(s) but wants to use a specific one
	  for the job. It can also be used to set the correct path to a program
	  if the program in question is not located in a standard location and
	  cannot be found by the system. The configuration file cannot be used
	  to store encoding settings or other parameters! It is only meant for
	  the tools needed for the correct operation of h264enc. The config
	  file will be generated in /home/user_name/.h264enc/config. The config
	  file has its own versioning system and will be automatically updated
	  in case something changes in future versions of h264enc
	* Added -r option to reset the config file in case the user has made any
	  changes to it and wants to restore the original values of the config file
	* Updated the man page

2008-10-19 - h264enc 8.5.6
	* Updated the 'preset.cfg' skeleton file. Added support for psy_rd,
	  Psychovisual optimization
	* Improved subtitle handling for video file encodings. Now the user
	  can select to hardcode a given subtitle into the movie or import
	  it into the MP4 and/or MKV container. Only two subtitle formats
	  are supported and have been tested: VobSub and SRT
	* Added support for sample encoding and previewing. When encoding samples,
	  one can specify the start position and the duration in seconds for
	  the sample. Sample encoding respects encoding passes meaning if you execute
	  h264enc in two-pass mode and want to encode a sample before the real
	  encoding starts, then the sample will also be encoded in two-pass mode
	  with all the options and filters selected by the user.
	  Sample encoding can further be used to encode only specific parts of a
	  video file or a DVD. In regards to DVDs, sample encoding does not respect
	  selected DVD chapters meaning the given start position for the sample will
	  overwrite the selected DVD chapter(s). This is a mencoder problem and
	  there's nothing I can do about it.
	* Presets update: most presets for portable devices have been renamed. Please
	  read the man page or execute 'h264enc --help' for more information
	* Added two QuickTime presets - qt and qthq
	* denoise3d & hqdn3d: implemented weak/medium/strong denoising presets
	* Removed quantization parameters for the spp, uspp, fspp and pp7 deblockers
	* Updated the crop preview code. Instead of sleeping for 15 seconds and then
	  killing the PID value of mplayer, use the -endpos option
	* Updated the man page

2008-10-16 - h264enc 8.5.5
	* Presets updates: most presets have been updated to reflect the recent
	  changes made to the subme system in libx264. The options 'bime' and 'brdo' have
	  also been removed as they are no longer available as separate options in libx264.
	  'bime' is automatically enabled if a preset uses subme >= 5, brdo has been
	  included into the subme system. Please upgrade your libx264 to the latest
	  version if you encounter problems when using the presets.
	* Updated the 'preset.cfg' preset skeleton file
	* Separated the 'normal' deinterlacers from the frame doubling ones
	* More optimizations to the TS container code
	* Disabled b_pyramid for the PS3 presets. Should increase compatibility
	  with the PS3 a bit more
	* Added Vorbis audio support for the OGM container
	* denoise3d & hqdn3d: increased default denoising values to 3:2:3:2
	* Removed path specification for MEncoder
	* Cosmetics & cleanups

2008-07-11 - h264enc 8.5.4
	* Added support for DTS, MP3 and MP2 audio for the TS container
	* Optimizations to the TS container batch exporting code
	* iPod optimizations to the MP4 muxing code
	* Enabled neroAAC and Vorbis audio support for the Matroska container
	* Updated the audio part of the PS3 presets. Added audio copy support
	  so a user can just copy the AC3 stream and later on mux it into a
	  TS transport stream. Note that I'm not sure if the PS3 can play
	  H.264 TS files since the PS3 doc only mentions MPEG2 TS and PS
	* Added tsMuxeR options "insertSEI" and "contSPS" as default when muxing
	  to the TS container
	* Small tunings to the ps3vp preset. Made it main profile instead of
	  high profile -> ps3hqvp is already high profile so no need for ps3vp
	  to also be high profile
	* Disabled weight_b for the anime presets. According to Dark Shikari (an
	  x264 developer) it decreases the effectiveness of multiref while providing
	  no benefit
	* Do not ask for FPS conversion or pullup/pulldown if the user forces an
	  output frame rate

2008-07-07 - h264enc 8.5.3
	* Feature request: add the possibility to disable MEncoder's A/V sync
	  algorithm when encoding video files. This can be used to fix input
	  video files with bad A/V sync in them, however there are no
	  guarantees that this will actually fix the problem
	* Added initial support for the TS container. This requires tsMuxeR and
	  MP4Box (for audio/video dumps). When muxing to the TS container, only
	  the FAAC AAC and AC3/copy audio codecs are supported. Read the README.h264enc
	  which provides more information on where to get tsMuxeR.
	* Updated the -sc option, added tsMuxeR to the list
	* Enabled back the use of temporary directories based on process ID
	  to store config files
	* Fixed a bug in the check_audio_codec_func() function. Variable MENOCDER
	  should be MENCODER
	* Updated the requirements part in the README.h264enc file
	* Small clean ups
	* Updated the man page

2008-07-05 - h264enc 8.5.2
	* Feature request: add the possibility to specify the path to MEncoder.
	  Useful if the user has two or more versions of MEncoder but wants to
	  use a specific one for the encoding
	* Check to see if destination directory is writable by writing a small
	  file to it.
	* Updated the README.h264enc file
	* Updated the man page

2008-07-03 - h264enc 8.5.1
	* Added support for using the neroAacEnc AAC audio encoder when using
	  the portable device presets icvp, ichqvp, ivp, ihqvp, ipvp, iphqvp,
	  avp, ahqvp, nks60vp, nks60hqvp, pspvp, psphqvp, ps3vp, ps3hqvp, zvp,
	  zhqvp, xvp and xhqvp
	* Bugfix: when using the f9 or f9hq preset with the neroAAC audio codec,
	  -oac pcm was not passed to the MEncoder options
	* Changed default unsharp mask / gaussian blur matrix to chroma & luma 5x5
	  as it provides a better balance than the 3x3 matrix

2008-06-30 - h264enc 8.5.0
	* Added support for using the neroAacEnc AAC audio encoder with
	  LC, HE and HEv2 profiles
	* Function renaming: aacplus_audio_func() -> neroaac_audio_func()
	* Variable renaming: aacplusbr -> neroaacbr
	* Audio codec renaming: AAC+ -> neroAAC

2008-06-25 - h264enc 8.4.9
	* Bugfix: don't leave config files upon user interrupt
	* Removed reference to the Sonic audio codec in the -sc option as
	  this codec is no longer supported

2008-06-23 - h264enc 8.4.8
	* Disabled the use of unique temporary directories to store temporary
	  configuration files. This fixes an MP4Box crash on newer systems

2008-06-18 - h264enc 8.4.7
	* Added support for inclusion of external subtitles when encoding
	  video files. The external subtitle will be hard coded into the
	  encode
	* Updated the man page

2008-06-11 - h264enc 8.4.6
	* Merged checking of the encoding modes for the specific presets
	  that need it
	* Removed the Black & White presets since they are useless and the
	  only difference in them from the others is that they don't use
	  chroma motion estimation
	* Updated the man page
	
2008-06-04 - h264enc 8.4.5
	* Fix for the sdb, sdm, sdh, hdb, hdm and hdh presets. These presets
	  are only supported in 1-, 2-, or 3-pass mode since they use
	  VBV maxrate and VBV bufsize with is not compatible with QP/CRF
	  encoding modes

2008-05-30 - h264enc 8.4.4
	* Small menu enhancements to the FPS settings
	* Fixed wrong explanation for the temporal denoiser
	* Removed support for the Sonic and SonicLS audio codecs since
	  they are experimental and far from complete for daily use
	* Updated the man page
	
2008-04-28 - h264enc 8.4.3
	* Clarify that the aspec ratio is the one for input sources
	* Added MP4Box -ipod switch for the iPod/iPhone profiles
	* Set the field order of the frame doubling yadif deinterlacer
	  to auto detection
	* Implemented source_fps_func() function to reduce code duplication.
	  This function automatically detects the FPS of the content and is
	  shared between the deinterlace and interlace functions
	* Added support for applying denoising/deblocking on interlaced content.
	  This is done by deinterleaving the content with the il=d filter, applying
	  the denoising/deblocking on the deinterleaved content and interleaving it
	  back with the il=i filter. That way we don't break the interlacing
	* Color enhancements to the -bpp and -bpb options

2008-04-25 - h264enc 8.4.2
	* Fixed a problem where the detected resolution based on the crop values
	  favored the values of the cropdetect filter instead of the user
	  provided values. Reported by blaz from the Doom9 forum
	* Renamed resolution variable 'res' to 'vres'
	* Added support for doing 25 -> 50 fps and 29.970 -> 59.940 fps conversion
	  using simple frame duplication
	* Updated the man page

2008-04-22 - h264enc 8.4.1
	* Updated the keyframe auto detection
	* Updated the audio_channels_func() function
	* Updated the --help section
	* Set the field dominance of the yadif deinterlacer to
	  auto-detection. If the decoder doesn't export the field
	  order, it defaults to TFF (top field first)
	* Enabled multi-channel AAC audio for the Sony PS3 presets
	* Small update to the FPS conversion menu
	* Fixed a typo in the color() function
	* Small menu enhancements to the video_interlace_func() function
	* Added support for video bitrate calculation when using
	  5 channels PCM audio
	* Removed delay when exiting from user interrupt
	* Updated the audio codecs menu
	* Updated the README.encoding file

2008-04-19 - h264enc 8.4.0
	* Updated the filmdint FPS conversion filter. Added dint_thres=256 to
	  not do any deinterlacing while doing the conversion
	* Updated the man page

2008-04-15 - h264enc 8.3.9
	* Fixed the cropping code. NTSC content was problematic
	* Added support for NTSC Double @ 60 fps

2008-04-09 - h264enc 8.3.8
	* Updated the cropping code to support the latest SVN version of MEncoder
	* Replace underscores from DVD title names with spaces

2008-04-08 - h264enc 8.3.7
	* Integrated the exit command into the rmconf() function
	* Added aq_metric for those who want to test the VAQ2 patch
	* Updated the preset.cfg file. Added aq_metric
	* Small clean ups

2008-03-27 - h264enc 8.3.6
	* Use awk to get the current device when exporting DVD chapters information
	* When encoding specific chapters, append the chapters info at the end of
	  the output file
	* Changed the nkvp and nkhqvp presets to nks60vp and nks60hqvp
	* Removed support for manual video codec configuration. This reduces the code
	  and makes it less bloated. If a user wants to configure something manually,
	  he can write his own custom preset and load it in h264enc
	* Removed support for MP3 high- and lowpass frequency settings. I'm sure many people
	  don't use these options and accept the defaults
	* The threads option is now hard coded into the mencoder_opts() function
	* Removed keyint and keyint_min from the HW compatible presets. Use the
	  default detected values for those
	* Updated the preset.cfg file
	* Updated the README.h264enc file. Added links for neroAacEnc and Vorbis
	* Removed SD/HD Extended presets. They are useless
	* Updated the man page

2008-03-23 - h264enc 8.3.5
	* Use -vf rectangle=<crop_values> when previewing the crop values. Will
	  give us a nice outline of the crop values
	* Removed accurate rounding of the software scaler since it does not
	  work on a lot of systems
	* Updated the VAQ code to support the final version of the variance
	  adaptive quantization patch -> replaced aq_sensitivity with aq_mode
	* Updated the preset.cfg file to support the new VAQ
	* Changed sample rate of the f9 and f9hq presets from 48000 Hz to 22050 Hz
	* Be silent when doing FPS conversion

2008-03-18 - h264enc 8.3.4.1
	* Bugfix for the PSP presets. Multi-threading was not enabled

2008-03-15 - h264enc 8.3.4
	* Removed niceness from the muxing commands
	* Clean ups to the batch exporting code
	* Added -nocache mplayer option to the AAC+/Vorbis muxing/exporting code
	* Disabled muxing to MKV if the user is using the AAC+ or Vorbis audio codec.
	  The reason for this is that mkvmerge doesn't seem to honor the
	  --default-duration flag when importing RAW h264 streams and will
	  because of this generate files with major A/V sync issues. I've already
	  filed a bug report. Until this is resolved I will not enable MKV muxing
	  when using the AAC+ or Vorbis audio codec!
	* Replaced an 'if' conditional with a 'case' one in the AAC+/Vorbis batch
	  exporting code
	* Updated the AUTHORS file. Added Harry Gunnarsson as bug reporter/testing

2008-03-13 - h264enc 8.3.3
	* Minor clean ups and code improvements
	* Set default QP parameter to 0 for the spp, fspp and uspp
	  postprocessing filters
	* Added support for CBR AAC+ audio
	* Made the CBR part of the audio codecs to be menu driven
	* Fixed a bug where the FPS conversion menu and the Telecine/IVTC
	  don't show up due to missing interlaced variable. Bug was introduced
	  during the grouping of the pre/postprocessing video filters

2008-03-10 - h264enc 8.3.2
	* Pre/Postprocessing video filters are now grouped in one question
	* Fixed a small bug. The Nokia S60 presets are not allowed in
	  fixed-quant mode since they have maximum allowed bitrate
	  restrictions
	* Added autocompletion support. Patch by Nicolas Di Pietro
	* Added a skip option to most of the menus
	* Added support for AAC+ audio to the f9 and f9hq presets
	* Clean ups in the audio codecs code
	
2008-03-08 - h264enc 8.3.1
	* Added checking for oggenc and neroAacEnc to the -sc option
	* Disabled the scalable sample rate option of the FAAC menu
	  since it does not work. FAAC doesn't support HE-AAC
	* Color optimizations
	* Some minor code improvements
	* Use named pipes (fifo) to encode to AAC+ or Vorbis audio. This
	  eliminates the audio dumping step and the required disk space
	* Updated the batch code to support named pipes

2008-03-07 - h264enc 8.3.0
	* Simplifications and clean ups in the audio codecs code
	* More simplifications to the video bitrate calculation code
	* Fixed identification of AAC+ in the matroska muxing code. Should be
	  --aac-is-sbr 1:1 and not --aac-is-sbr 1
	* Disable accurate rounding of the software scaler on 64-bit systems
	  since MEncoder has issues with it
	* Simplifications to the Matroska batch exporting code. This removes
	  a lot of code duplication
	* Only extract audio and video if we deal with the AAC+ or Vorbis
	  audio codec
	* Simplifications to the Matroska muxing code
	* Major simplifications to the MP4 muxing code. A lot of code duplication
	  is removed

2008-03-06 - h264enc 8.2.9
	* Video bitrate calculation: fixed the PCM part. It needs different
	  bitrates for different audio channels. Resampling is not taken into
	  account at the moment
	* Added support for multichannel AAC+. Note that in VBR mode, you
	  must use a value of 0.37 or lower or else neroAacEnc will error out
	  with invalid SBR configuration!
	* Added support for bitrate based ABR AAC+
	* Added support for video bitrate calculation when using ABR AAC+
	* Simplified the batch exporting code of the AAC+/Vorbis audio codecs.
	  This removes code duplication
	* Removed the MP4SBR variable in the batch code of the AAC+ audio
	  codec. The value of this variable is now carried by the
	  AUDIOFILE variable. Also did a few small simplifications to this part
	* Added support for exporting the MP4 muxing commands to the batch file
	  when using the NOSOUND audio option
	* Updated the signal traps
	* Replaced an 'if' conditional by a 'case' one in the video bitrate
	  calculation code
	* Random clean ups

2008-03-05 - h264enc 8.2.8
	* Merged the -sv option with -scan
	* Fixed an issue when scanning video files, especially TS ones, where
	  printing the video resolution could get misaligned
	* Remove pointless removing of temp files. Since h264enc now uses
	  unique temporary directories to store temp files, there's no
	  point in removing them anymore as the unique directory will
	  be removed upon user interrupt or user fault
	* Added support for the HE-AAC (aka AAC+) audio codec. This requires
	  neroAacEnc. When encoding to this codec, the AVI will be first encoded
	  with PCM audio. Then both the video and audio will be extracted from
	  the AVI, the audio will be encoded to AAC+ and will be muxed together
	  with the video to the mp4 and/or mkv container. Multichannel AAC+
	  audio is not supported yet as neroAacEnc for Linux doesn't seem to
	  support it at the moment
	* Added support for the Vorbis audio codec. This requires oggenc.
	  Multichannel audio is supported
	* Updated the batch code to support AAC+ and Vorbis audio
	* Updated the README.h264enc file
	* Updated the man page

2008-03-04 - h264enc 8.2.7
	* Added two Flash Player 9 presets (f9 and f9hq)
	* Remove config directory on non-zero exit status
	* Implemented -sv option which scans an input video file and displays
	  information about it
	* Some small code improvements
	* Updated the man page

2008-03-03 - h264enc 8.2.6
	* Removed option 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the 60p -> 24p FPS conversion menu
	  as these filter chains are not very reliable and often fail at doing
	  the conversion. Also removed support for the decimate filter so now
	  only framestep and filmdint are supported which give the best results
	* Refined the filmdint filter parameters for 60p -> 24p FPS conversion
	  and set default filter to filmdint=fast=0/io=60:24
	* Bugfix: missing ':' in the vbv_bufsize variable of the psphqvp preset.
	  Reported by Harry Gunnarsson

2008-03-02 - h264enc 8.2.5
	* Added support for 30p -> 24p FPS conversion
	* Added support for the decimate filter when doing 60p -> 24p
	  FPS conversion
	* Small improvements to the crop preview code. Should come after
	  the user has entered the crop values
	* Video file encodings: Use unique default output file based on
	  process ID
	* Fixed a small bug where h264enc assumes that the $HOME/.h264enc
	  directory already exists but that might not be the case, so it
	  will fail at making an unique temporary directory. Reported by
	  Nathaniel Gray
	* Added support for setting the quantization parameter for the
	  spp, uspp and fspp postprocessing filters

2008-03-01 - h264enc 8.2.4
	* Bugfix: forgot to add tinterlace before the detc filter for
	  60p -> 24p FPS conversion
	* Removed the '-p help' option as it is not very useful. --help
	  displays everything one needs to know
	* Added more 60p -> 24p FPS conversion filters and set default
	  filter to framestep=2,filmdint=fast=0 which gives the best
	  results
	* Disabled colorspace conversion when interlacing, telecining or
	  when doing FPS conversion as some of the filters (most?) don't
	  like it. Also disabled colorspace conversion for the Nokia S60
	  presets
	* Made the script to use unique temporary directories to store
	  the config/parsing files. That way, one can run multiple
	  instances of h264enc at the same time without interference
	* Modified the batch exporting code to work with unique
	  directories
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-29 - h264enc 8.2.3
	* Added support for doing 60p -> 30p, 60p -> 24p and 50p -> 25p
	  FPS conversion. Useful for HD content that runs at 59.94 or 50 fps.
	  This option is mutually exclusive with interlacing and frame doubling
	  deinterlacing filters
	* Added two Nokia S60 presets (nkvp and nkhqvp). Thanks to Matteo
	  Croce (mp4tools) for the device info
	* Colorized automatic actions/info/menus
	* Fixed a small bug in the manual codec configuration where calculating
	  of the keyint_min value fails
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-27 - h264enc 8.2.2
	* Added support for calculating the video bitrate when encoding with
	  the NOSOUND audio option
	* Added support for calculating the video bitrate when using the
	  PCM audio codec
	* Converted the code for the bicubic software scaler parameters to
	  be menu driven
	* Added one 'Insane High Quality' preset (ihq) which uses the
	  Hadamard-based motion estimation algorithm
	* Enabled AAC audio support for the Matroska container. Please
	  upgrade your mkvtoolnix to the latest SVN version!
	* Notify the user that the frame rate will change when using the
	  inverse telecine/telecine filters
	* Clean ups in the MP4 muxing code
	* Improvements to the batch exporting code
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-24 - h264enc 8.2.1
	* Removed the 'user defined' option from the deint_custom_fps_func()
	  function as it can confuse users who don't really know what to
	  enter there
	* Added support for different audio resampling modes
	* Added support for the 'lavcresample' audio resample filter
	* Made the audio_resample_func() function to be menu driven
	* Converted the MKV/MP4/OGM code to base its decision on
	  variable $audiocodec instead of variable $audcodec. Makes
	  the code less complicated
	* Updated the 'preset.cfg' file. Custom presets now support
	  the following additional options: ratetol, vbv_maxrate, vbv_bufsize,
	  vbv_init and cqm and me_prepass
	* Preparations for the motion estimation prepass patch
	* Added support for automatic detection of the video aspect
	* Don't continue if MEncoder exits with a non-zero status
	* Added two Black & White/Gray presets for BW movies (bw and bwhq)
	* Small improvements to the custom_matrix_func() function
	* Small improvements to the DVD titles scanning code
	* Small improvements to the check_diskspace_func() function. Patch
	  by Gunter Ohrner
	* Updated the -sc option
	* Variable renamings and clean ups
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-20 - h264enc 8.2.0
	* Fixed a bug in the deint_custom_fps_func() function. Variable
	  deintfsp for NTSC @ 59.94 fps should be deintfps
	* Fixed a bug in option 8 of the $dfilter variable which was
	  using a invalid underscore. Should be -field-dominance 1
	  instead of -field_dominance 1
	* Clean ups of old commented out code
	* Reordered the deinterlacing menu. Separated the normal
	  deinterlacers from the frame doubling ones
	* Small improvements to the audio_channels_func() function
	* Renamed variable $ss to $softscale
	* Added two iPod Classic presets for iPods that support
	  only H.264 @ Level 1.3 (icvp and ichqvp)
	* Updated the README.h264enc file
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-18 - h264enc 8.1.9
	* Updated the DVD chapters code to support the latest SVN version
	  of MPlayer/MEncoder
	* Small improvements to the cropping code
	* Fall back to 'dd' for ISO dumps if 'pv' is not available on
	  the user's system
	* Set default noise pattern to be Luma + temporal instead of
	  Luma & Chroma + temporal
	* Added support for the lossless format of the Sonic audio codec
	* Added the X-Men 3 matrix, Q matrix, Q2 matrix, Soulhunter V1
	  matrix, Soulhunter V2 matrix, MP4Guy's low bitrate matrix, Audionut
	  high bitrate matrix and Audionut general matrix to the package.
	  Thanks to Audionut, MP4Guy and Soulhunter
	* Bugfix: the ivtc/telecine process should check for the $deintfilter
	  variable instead of the $deintfps one. ivtc/telecine is mutually
	  exclusive with deinterlacing
	* Improvements to the MP4 muxing part when exporting the options to
	  the batch file. From now on, the FPS needed for MP4Box is directly
	  taken from the AVI file. This approach is much more reliable and the
	  user no longer needs to edit the FPS value for MP4Box when exporting
	  the options of NTSC content to the batch file.
	* Added one Anime high-quality preset (anihq)
	* Updated the presets_keyint_func() function
	* Added support for the Tfields deinterlacer @ original frame speed
	  and Tfields + fast/medium/slow/slowest Mcdeint @ original frame speed
	* Replaced a few 'if' conditionals with 'case' conditionals
	* Updated the README.matrices file
	* Typo fixes
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-14 - h264enc 8.1.8
	* Export testing condition to the batch file for the output of MEncoder
	  and for the output directory as well
	* Changed FPS naming for Silent Speed to Silent Film
	* Added support for automatic brightness/contrast control
	* Bugfix: Only ask for deletion of the AVI file if the user has chosen
	  to remux it to one of the supported containers
	* Removed duplicate $quiet variable in the video_deinterlace_func()
	  function when deinterlacing with a frame doubler
	* Modified the -iso option to use 'pv' for DVD ISO dumping instead of
	  'dd'. 'pv' provides us with a nice progress bar which is useful as
	  it takes a long time to dump a DVD, so the user can follow the
	  progress. 'dd' provides no such thing.
	* Updated the -iso option to support dual-layer DVD discs (~8.54 GB)
	* Added support for setting the subtitle alignment
	* Added support for setting the subtitle Gaussian variance strength
	  when hardcoding subtitles into the movie
	* Use $IDXFILE variable for the MP4SUB and MKVSUB variables
	* Tweaks to the HD presets. Increased VBV buffer size to 14475 and
	  set keyint to 14 and keyint_min to 2 for the SD/HD presets. Also
	  increased b-frames usage from 3 to 6
	* Various small code improvements
	* Updated the man page

2007-02-12 - h264enc 8.1.7
	* Bugfix: the manual in-loop deblock filter setting errors out due
	  to wrong conditional check for a comma. Reported by Justin Poirier
	* Added support for fast/medium/slow/slowest mcdeint combined
	  with the Yadif and Tfields deinterlacers. This brings it to a total
	  of 45 deinterlacing modes
	* Implemented -iso option for dumping the DVD content with 'dd' to
	  an ISO image to disk
	* Added 'sleep 3' delay for the exported options
	* Added one Anime preset (ani)
	* Small tweaks to the NLQ and UHQ presets
	* Made the deint_custom_fps_func() function to be menu driven
	* Use detected FPS value in the bits_per_pixel_func() and
	  bits_per_block_func() functions instead of falling back to 25
	  if the user doesn't set/force the FPS value
	* Replaced a few 'sed' commands with 'awk'
	* Changed the -o option to -b to better reflect that this option
	  is for batch encoding. Also default output file of the options
	  file will be $HOME/batchfile
	* Updated the FPS values for VFR Anime sources and Silent Speed films
	* Variable renamings and code duplication clean ups
	* Decreased VBV buffer size from 6000 to 5000 for the SD presets,
	  frameref to 3 and B-Frames to 3 for the SD/HD presets
	* Updated the AUTHORS file
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-09 - h264enc 8.1.6
	* Added support for the OGM container
	* Cosmetics: forgot to put a few 'echo' statements in the
	  video_deblock_func() function
	* Renamed presets hwpb, hwpe, hwpm and hwph to hdb, hde, hdm
	  and hdh
	* Added 4 stand-alone HW players SD presets @ L3.1 (sdb, sde
	  sdm and sdh)
	* Removed the 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' file as HW players presets
	  are now hard coded in the script
	* Made the call to the presets_keyint_func() function global
	  instead of per preset based. This reduces code duplication
	* Added the -tmp flag to the MP4Box commands to not run out of
	  disk space in case of large files. Suggested by Henk Schoneveld
	* Switched from trellis=2 to trellis=1 for the EHQ and UHQ
	  presets as trellis=2 can kill detail quality since it overdecimates
	  too strongly on the blocks. This should also speed up things a bit
	* Improvements to the video_interlace_func() function
	* Added the -field-dominance flag to the MEncoder parameters for
	  deinterlacers that support setting the field order
	* Changed variable $df to $dfilter
	* Disabled exporting the MP4 muxing commands to the options file
	  when using NOSOUND as the code base does not allow it
	* Removed support for optimization of the MP4 file layout as
	  the 'mpeg4ip' tools are no longer actively developed
	* Fixed a typo in the deint_custom_fps_func() function
	* Removed support for file splitting as the code/operation is
	  not very reliable, especially with embedded subs in the MKV/MP4
	  containers. Further, the code to support 4 containers is pretty
	  large and unmanageable
	* Small clean ups
	* Updated the man page
	* Updated the README.h264enc file
	* Updated the README.encoding file

2008-02-07 - h264enc 8.1.5
	* Fixed a small bug. Don't ask for MKV conversion if using the
	  Sonic audio codec as mkvmerge doesn't support it.
	* Simplified the Matroska exporting code
	* Added support for exporting the MP4 muxing commands to the
	  options file.
	* Added support for previewing the crop values for 15 seconds
	* Renamed variable $audio_codec to $audcodec
	* Simplified the MP4 muxing code a bit. Reduced a bit of code
	  duplication
	* Some improvements to the audio scanning menu
	* Notify the user that the frame rate will change if he is
	  interlacing progressive content
	* Removed displaying "Checking for lsdvd..." every time the
	  user chooses for DVD encoding
	* Don't enable interlace-aware software scaler when telecining
	  progressive content as the telecine filter comes after the
	  scale filter
	* Some clean ups

2008-02-05 - h264enc 8.1.4
	* Added vbv_maxrate=25000 and vbv_bufsize=9000 to the hwpb, hwpe,
	  hwpm and hwph presets to fully conform to Level 4.1 for stand
	  alone HW players
	* Switched to bitrate rate control for the first pass in a 2- and
	  3-pass encoding mode so we can get a better quant distribution
	* Added support for adding noise to the encoding with the 'noise'
	  video filter
	* Updated the 'hwpcompat_preset.cfg' file
	* Increased B-Frames usage with 2 for the standard presets
	* Added support for exporting the Matroska muxing commands to the
	  options file. User request from Harry Gunnarsson.
	* Reordered the input frame rate selection menu of the video_interlace_func()
	  function
	* Added support for the Sonic audio codec
	* Updated the man page

2008-02-03 - h264enc 8.1.3
	* Added support for deblocking-only of DVDs/video files with the
	  ha/va filters
	* Added 4 built-in stand-alone HW players presets (hwpb, hwpe, hwpm, hwph)
	* Preparations for the upcoming Variance Adaptive Quantization (VAQ)
	  The code is ready to use but is disabled and will stay so until
	  the VAQ patch gets committed to SVN
	* Made the custom FPS code for deinterlacing a function. This
	  reduces code duplication
	* Changed contact email address due to some issues with my current
	  ISP provider
	* Added support for setting/forceing the video aspec ratio
	* Fixed a small bug in the manual configuration where setting the
	  motion search range wasn't available when using 'tesa' motion
	  estimation.
	* Updated the AUTHORS file. Added Justin Poirier as bug reporter
	* Updated the 'preset.cfg' skeleton preset file
	* Updated the man page
	* Clean ups

2008-01-31 - h264enc 8.1.2.1
	* Fixed a potential bug where MP4Box/mkvmerge can fail to parse
	  the filename of the subtitle during importing

2008-01-29 - h264enc 8.1.2
	* Added support for deringing-only of DVDs/video files.
	* Fixed a bug in the $threads variable in the manual codec
	  configuration. Thanks to Justin Poirier for discovering and
	  reporting this bug.
	* Reset variable $aid when using the 'nosound' audio option.
	* Added support for the new fullpel motion estimation hadamard-based
	  'tesa' (SATD) algorithm presented in x264 revision r730.
	* Switched to the new 'tesa' fullpell ME algorithm for the UHQ preset.
	  Please upgrade your x264 program to revision r730 or higher if you
	  intend to use this preset!
	* Switched to the 'esa' fullpell ME algorithm for the EHQ preset.
	* Updated the 'preset.cfg' skeleton preset file.
	* Clean ups

2008-01-24 - h264enc 8.1.1
	* Bugfix: added a condition to check if the 'tfields' filter is used,
	  and if so, to place it after the crop filter. The reason for this is
	  that 'tfields' alters the resolution and if this filter comes before
	  the crop filter, the crop values will no longer be correct so
	  MEncoder will error out with a "crop area outside of the original"
	  message.
	* Implemented menu driven -scan option for DVD information. With
	  -scan one can display extensive information about a DVD or
	  can export the information to a file on disk in text, perl,
	  python, ruby or xml format.
	* Added support for auto-detection of the FPS value and setting it
	  to double when deinterlacing with a frame doubling deinterlacer
	* Added a note that NTSC FPS detection is not 100% reliable. This
	  comes from the fact that h264enc only detects the FPS flag set
	  in the video content but many NTSC DVDs "lie" about their true
	  FPS value. And of course, the FPS won't be correct at all if we
	  deal with soft telecined content.
	* Removed partition type i8x8 from the LQ and VLQ presets as these
	  presets don't use adaptive spatial transform (8x8dct) so i8x8
	  does nothing there
	* Enabled partition type i8x8 for the Sony PS3 presets
	* Switched from partitions=all to partitions=p8x8,b8x8,i8x8,i4x4
	  for the EHQ and UHQ presets. This removes support for the useless
	  p4x4 partition type which provides almost no benefit in
	  compresability and quality improvement and only slows down the
	  encoding
	* Updated the deinterlacing menu
	* Added some extra comments to the aac_audio_func() function
	* Added the -nocache option to MPlayer for faster execution
	* Updated the signal traps
	* Updated the man page

2008-01-21 - h264enc 8.1.0
	* Made the audio codec selection to be menu driven. Also set
	  the default audio codec to be AAC instead of MP3.
	* Made scanning for multiple audio streams in video files
	  to be optional.
	* Added back support for the old ha/va/dr postprocessing
	  deblock/dering filters.
	* Added support for interleaving even lines from even frames
	  with odd lines from odd frames with the 'tinterlace' filter
	  in mode 4
	* Added support for the frame doubling 'tfields' temporal fields
	  filter and 'tfields' + 'mcdeint'
	* Enabled chrominance filtering for the temporal 'tn' denoiser
	* Some small code improvements to the 'sed' parsing.
	* Cleanups in the quality presets. Made the 2- and 3-pass
	  $turbo variable to be global instead of per preset based.
	  This reduces code duplication.
	* Fixed a small bug when using user defined frame rate during
	  the frame doubling deinterlacing process. Integer input values
	  were not multiplied by 2. Also added a note that the provided
	  FPS will be multiplied by 2

2008-01-18 - h264enc 8.0.9
	* Added support for user defined frame rate when using a
	  deinterlacer which doubles the output frame rate.
	* Bugfix: second pass in a three pass encoding mode cannot
	  use CRF rate control. Thanks to Justin Poirier for reporting
	  this bug.
	* Fixed typo in the 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' file. Should be
	  Decoded Picture Buffer and not Display Picture Buffer.

2008-01-14 - h264enc 8.0.8
	* Changed default (un)sharp mask/gaussian blur matrix to
	  luma & chroma 7x7 as it provides a better balance than
	  the 3x3 matrix.
	* Added a tip for the 'denoise3d' and 'hqdn3d' filters that
	  one can do only Spatial, only Temporal or Spatial and
	  Temporal filtering with these filters. Spatial-only
	  filtering is achieved by setting the last two values
	  to 0, Temporal-only filtering is achieved by setting
	  the first two values to 0. Spatial and Temporal filtering
	  is achieved by using all values.
	* Added support for adjusting the filter strength of the 'fspp'
	  postprocessing filter.
	* Added support for doubling the frame rate of the content
	  during the deinterlacing process with the 'yadif' and 'mcdeint'
	  filters.
	* Added support for interlacing progressive 100 fps PAL and
	  progressive 119.88 fps NTSC content.
	* Updated the FPS code. Added support for PAL/SECAM/NTSC Quad
	  (100 and 119.880 fps) and reordered the menu. Also disabled
	  frame rate selection when interlacing progressive content or
	  deinterlacing interlaced content with a deinterlace filter
	  which doubles the output frame rate. Both actions are mutually
	  exclusive with setting the output frame rate as the chosen
	  interlace/deinterlace process will take care of the fps.
	* Enabled x264 interlace-aware mode if the user is interlacing
	  progressive content with the 'tinterlace' and 'phase' filters.
	* Placed the interlace filters 'tinterlace' and 'phase' after
	  the harddup filter so that duplicate frames will never get
	  interlaced.
	* Renamed variables $pullup, $telecine, $cropping, $colorspace,
	  $ivtc_filter, $int_fps and $int_ofps to $ivtcfilter, $telecinefilter,
	  $cropfilter, $colorspacefilter, $ivtcfilt, $intfps and $intofps

2008-01-11 - h264enc 8.0.7
	* Modifications to the output filename code. As of now, for
	  DVD encodings, h264enc will scan the DVD for its title
	  and will set the default output filename according to
	  the title found on the DVD disc. If the DVD title is not
	  found, h264enc defaults to the old method.
	* Added two iPhone video profile presets (iPVP and iPHQVP)
	* Bugfix: don't ask for colorspace conversion if the user
	  doesn't scale the content. Colorspace conversion only works
	  with the scale filter.
	* Bugfix: revert using local variables in the bits_per_pixel_func()
	  and bits_per_block_func() functions. Local variables don't
	  work when a function is called inside another one.
	* Some cleanups in the audio_resample_func() function.
	* Moved the internal x264 denoise filter into the Denoise
	  settings.
	* Added support for the 'unsharp' (un)sharp mask/gaussian
	  blur filter
	* Removed the 'nr' variable from the 'preset.cfg' skeleton file
	  as denoising is handled in the Denoise settings
	* Added support for selecting the frame dropping mode of
	  the inverse telecine 'detc' filter.
	* Switched to ESA Motion Estimation for the UHQ preset. As
	  of x264 revision r676 (2007-09-15), the ESA algorithm
	  is made multi-threaded so there is no reason not to use
	  it anymore. Also the current changes to ESA in x264
	  revision r718 give it a 30% boost in speed over the
	  previous implementation.
	* Improvements to the DVD subtitle menu.
	* Updated the man page.
	
2008-01-08 - h264enc 8.0.6
	* Disabled b_pyramid for the PSP presets and enabled
	  8x8dct for the PS3 and XBOX 360 presets
	* Added two AppleTV video profile presets (AVP and AHQVP)
	* Changed the audio sample rate to 48 kHz for the Zune
	  video profile presets. Also enabled WMA audio and
	  lifted MP3 CBR-only restrictions as the Zune supports
	  CBR/VBR/ABR MP3 audio up to 320 kbps. The same goes for
	  AAC-LC audio
	* Use local variables inside the bits_per_pixel_func() and
	  bits_per_block_func() functions
	* Added support for yadif=2 deinterlacing mode which
	  skips spatial interlacing checking
	* Added support for interlacing of progressive content with
	  the 'tinterlace' filter combined with 'phase'. Note
	  that only 50 fps progressive PAL and 59.94 fps
	  progressive NTSC content is supported! When interlacing
	  such content, the frame rate will be dropped to 25 fps
	  for PAL and 29.97 fps for NTSC
	* AAC audio: don't exit if the user has provided a bitrate
	  which is higher than the maximum allowed bitrate by
	  some portable devices. Instead fall back to 128 kbps
	* Colorspace conversion does not work with deinterlacing
	  and interlacing filters so disable it if the user uses
	  some of these filters. Also disabled colorspace conversion
	  for the portable device presets (iPod, PSP, Zune)
	* Improvements to the audio codecs code. Switched from
	  the 'if' conditional to the 'case' conditional. Makes
	  the code much easier to read/manage
	* Changed variables $scaler, $iss, $ss_parameters and
	  $accurate_vertical to $sws, $isws, $swsparam and $swsaccurate
	* Changed the order of the video filters. The softskip
	  filter should come after filters which need to see
	  duplicate or skipped frames in order to operate correctly.
	  This includes any filter that does temporal processing,
	  like the temporal denoiser, hqdn3d/denoise3d/ow and all
	  the inverse telecine filters. The softskip filter should
	  also come before scaling so that the scale filter will be
	  skipped if a frame is going to be dropped. Deinterlacing
	  or pullup should be done before cropping. The harddup filter
	  should be placed before the telecine one so that duplicate
	  frames will never get telecined, we don't want that. The
	  interlace filters should be placed after the softskip and
	  scale filters and before the harddup filter.
	* Updated the 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' preset file. Decreased
	  frameref to 3 to not cause problems for some players.
	  Also removed unneeded options, increased B-Frames usage
	  to 10, increased me_range to 24 and added some extra
	  comments
	* Improvements to the DVD chapters exporting code. The user
	  no longer needs to provide a path/filename to export the
	  chapters to disk. As of now, the path and filename are
	  automatically detected and set based on the provided output
	  file name and path for the encoding
	* Improved the chapters loading code for the MP4/MKV containers
	* Some modifications to the 'sed' parsing
	* Updated the man page
	
2008-01-05 - h264enc 8.0.5
	* Added a 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' preset file which is
	  compatible with stand-alone hardware players. If
	  you plan to play your encoded content on a stand
	  alone player, then you can load and use this
	  preset with h264enc. Look in the 'doc' directory
	  for it
	* Added support for the Motion Compensating Deinterlacer
	  (mcdeint) combined with Yadif
	* Renamed variable $ilaced to $interlaced
	* Increased B-Frames usage with 2 in the quality
	  presets
	* Disabled asking for custom matrices if the user uses
	  the ulq, elq, vlq, lq, mq, nq and the nlq presets. As
	  these presets are not High profile, they are not allowed
	  to use custom matrices.
	* Added support for setting the audio volume gain
	  with the 'volume' filter
	* Disabled automatic scanning of input video files
	  to see if they hold up more than one video stream.
	  Some MPEG-TS files can cause troubles for h264enc
	  which will enter into an endless loop when scanning
	  for multiple video streams
	* Updated the man page

2008-01-02 - h264enc 8.0.4
	* Added support for loading a custom preset file.
	  As of this version, the package includes a
	  'preset.cfg' skeleton file which you can use as
	  reference to write your own custom presets and
	  load them with h264enc. Please read through the
	  notes of the 'preset.cfg' file which is located
	  in the doc directory.
	* Added support for colorspace conversion during
	  scaling
	* Added support for the older 3D denoise filter
	  (denoise3d)
	* Added support for the Temporal Denoise filter (tn)
	* Changed $use_threads variable to $threads
	* Changed H.264's in-loop deblock variable from
	  $deblockparam to $deblock
	* Changed the video filters variables $denoise and
	  $deblock to $denoisefilter and $deblockfilter
	* Merged the $srate variable with the $resample
	* Small improvements to the fps detection code
	* Some cleanups/cosmetic changes
	* Updated the AUTHORS file
	* Updated the man page

2007-12-23 - h264enc 8.0.3
	* Added support for the Temporal Chroma Strength
	  parameter in the hqdn3d denoise filter.
	* Added support for the new Overcomplete Wavelet
	  Denoise filter. This filter is very new and still
	  not optimized so it is extremely processor intensive!
	* Added two XBOX 360 video presets (xvp and xhqvp)
	* Removed MP3 support for the Sony PSP presets as
	  MP3 audio is not officially supported.
	* Placed all video filters in a single variable called
	  $videofilters. Since all filter settings are the same
	  for all encoding passes, we place them in a single
	  variable to reduce code duplication in the mencoder_opts()
	  function. The same goes for the audio filters which
	  are now carried by the $audiofilters variable. This
	  also reduces filters maintenance for each pass.
	* Optimized the options exporting code. Now if the user
	  uses presets and wants to export the MEncoder options
	  to a file, the default output name of the file will
	  be h264enc-preset-outputname (where 'preset' is the chosen
	  preset and 'outputname' is the name of the output file).
	  If no presets are used, then the default output name of
	  the file will be h264enc-options-outputname.
	* Updated the man page.

2007-12-22 - h264enc 8.0.2
	* Added support for the spp, uspp, fspp and pp7
	  postprocessing deblock filters. This removes support
	  for the old 'pp' postprocessing filters and replaces
	  them with the new and more efficient ones. It also
	  fixes the nasty hack in the video_deinterlace_func()
	  function and removes code duplication for DVD and video
	  files in that function.
	* Removed variables $yadif and $kerndeint as they are
	  no longer required because of the changes above. All
	  deinterlacing filters are now carried by the $deintfilter
	  variable. Deblock/dering filters are carried by the
	  $deblock variable.
	* Added support for deringing/deblocking of DVDs. Although
	  not really useful for most DVDs, in some rare cases it
	  can be handy, like for custom made DVDs with a very
	  low bitrate and blocking artifacts.
	* Added support for denoising of input video files.
	* Tuning to the NLQ preset
	* Video functions reordering.
	* Updated the README.h264enc file.
	* Updated the man page.

2007-12-21 - h264enc 8.0.1
	* Changed contact email address
	* Forced MPEG-4 in AAC audio for the iPod profiles
	  as MPEG-2 is not compatible with the iPod devices
	* Placed most of the audio codecs code into functions
	  for easier integration in possible future video
	  profiles for portable devices
	* Included the Prestige matrix in the package which can
	  be used on grainy sources
	* Added two Sony PSP video profiles (pspvp and psphqvp)
	* Added two Sony PS3 video profiles (ps3vp and ps3hqvp)
	* Added two MS Zune video profiles (zvp and zhqvp)
	* Added warning notification when using more than 4
	  frame references as it can cause problems on stand-alone
	  players and/or hardware accelerated video cards. This
	  is only valid for HD 1080p resolutions (1920x1080)
	* Added presets_keyint_func() function for the quality
	  presets which automatically detects and sets the correct
	  minimum and maximum keyframe intervals based on the chosen
	  or detected FPS value
	* Updated the man page
	* Small cleanups

2007-12-15 - h264enc 8.0.0
	* Disabled asking for optimization of the MP4 file
	  layout if the user has chosen to embed subtitles
	  in the container. If optimization is ran on a
	  MP4 file with embedded subtitles, the subtitles
	  will all be black and unreadable
	* Bugfix: moved the MP4 output variable before the
	  optimization function as it is required by the
	  function but won't be detected if it comes after
	* Added a 'nice' value of 10 when remuxing to the
	  MKV and the MP4 containers
	* Merged the vobsubout and the vobsuboutindex variables

2007-12-14 - h264enc 7.9.9
	* Removed support for the old mkvmerge 1.x versions
	* Added support for importing ripped VobSub subtitles
	  into the Matroska and the MP4 container
	* Improved the chapters loading code. Now spaces in
	  file names are supported when importing a chapters file
	* Added -sc switch for sanity check. This will check for
	  the programs which are required for the correct operation
	  of the script and it will print the status in a list.
	  It will also display which audio codecs are supported
	  by MEncoder.
	* Some cleanups
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-12-06 - h264enc 7.9.8
	* Updated the M4G matrices
	* Small tweaks to the HQ, VHQ, EHQ and UHQ presets
	* User request: add support for subtitles for input
	  video files. Useful if user wants to get the subtitles
	  from a VOB file on disk
	
2007-12-01 - h264enc 7.9.7
	* Added support for importing chapters information from
	  a file when remuxing into the MP4 container.
	* Changed default output name for the chapters file from
	  'h264chapters' to 'h264chaps'
	* Added destination directory checking when exporting
	  DVD chapters to a file
	
2007-11-30 - h264enc 7.9.6
	* Added support for exporting all chapters information
	  from a DVD to a file. This requires 'dvdxchap' from
	  'ogmtools'
	* Added support for importing chapters information
	  into the Matroska container when remuxing
	
2007-11-15 - h264enc 7.9.5
	* Enabled MP2 audio support for the MP4 container
	* Removed global_header from the iPod profiles as
	  it crashes MP4Box
	
2007-11-12 - h264enc 7.9.4
	* User request: Improved the DVD chapter code. Now each
	  available chapter is displayed in a menu list together
	  with its start position. This requires MPlayer 1.0rc2
	  so please upgrade to use this feature!
	* Some cleanups

2007-11-07 - h264enc 7.9.3
	* Added vbv_maxrate, vbv_bufsize and global_header to the
	  x264 options for the iPod presets
	* user request: when exporting the MEncoder parameters to
	  a file, if the file already exists, do not overwrite it
	  but just append the new parameters to it
	* Increased the crop scanning from 15 to 30 frames for a
	  better detection of the crop values
	* Typo fix in the help section of the script
	
2007-10-26 - h264enc 7.9.2
	* Added iPod High-Quality Video Profile preset (iHQVP)
	* Tuning in the iPod Video Profile preset (iVP)
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-10-25 - h264enc 7.9.1
	* Added iPod Video Profile preset (user request). I cannot guarantee
	  that this preset will work on all iPods as I do not have one to
	  test with. Any feedback is welcome
	* Modified the audio codec code to only allow AAC audio for the
	  iPod preset
	* Modified the video bitrate calculation for a target file size
	  to support the iPod preset
	* Set the audio resample filter to always use 48 kHz for the iPod
	  preset
	* Audio bitrate and video resolution checks for the iPod preset
	  (audio may not exceed 160 kbps, resolution may not be higher
	  than 640x480)
	* Cleanups
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-10-05 - h264enc 7.9.0
	* Added support for loading of custom quantization matrices
	  when using quality presets (user request)
	
2007-09-14 - h264enc 7.8.9
	* Bugfix: wrong variable $VIDFP used in the bits_per_pixel_func
	  function. Should be $VIDFPS or the function will error out
	  when printing the BPP if user wants to calculate the video
	  bitrate.
	
2007-08-31 - h264enc 7.8.8
	* Disabled alias expansions in the shell, just in case it
	  might interfere with aliases in the .bashrc file
	* Added support for the FLAC audio codec (user request)
	* Changed the way the -o option operates (user request)
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-08-15 - h264enc 7.8.7
	* Removed the audio surround filter in AC3 since it's
	  not really useful and is only used on video files
	  with matrix encoded audio
	* Rewrote the audio_volnorm_func() function because of
	  the changes made to the audio filter chain
	* Added condition to check if any audio filters are used
	  so we can add the -af option to the MEncoder parameters
	* Added audio_channels_func() function for AC3, AAC, PCM
	  and COPY
	* Some small cleanups
	* Manual codec config: trellis quantization requires CABAC
	  so disable it if user doesn't use CABAC
	* Some small tweaks to the quality presets; enabled RDO for
	  B-Frames in the vhq preset
	* Faster code to detect FPS values
	* FPS: now both fractions (for Progressive NTSC/NTSC) and integer
	  for (PAL/SECAM) are supported
	* Changed Megabyte to Mebibyte in video bitrate calculation
	
2007-08-08 - h264enc 7.8.6
	* Added the harddup filter at the end of the filter chain
	  to further eliminate possible A/V sync problems when
	  muxing to the MKV and/or MP4 containers
	* Disabled the check_video_filters_func() function as it is
	  made obsolete by the harddup filter since this filter will
	  always be appended to the filter chain and the -vf option
	  will always be required even if no other filters are used
	* Added support for channel selection when using audio stream copy
	* Manual codec config: disabled deadzones if user uses trellis
	  quantization since they don't work with it
	* Added support for encoding from a different DVD angle
	* Now video bitrate calculation for a target file size works with
	  audio stream copy
	* Disabled asking for telecine/inverse telecine if content is PAL/SECAM
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-08-05 - h264enc 7.8.5
	* Fixed a potential problem in the inverse telecine/pullup code
	  where A/V could get out of sync due to missing -fps 30000/1001
	  value
	* Enabled audio encoding for first pass in 2- and 3-pass mode.
	  After extensive testings, without audio encoding for the
	  first pass, MEncoder can break A/V sync, especially when
	  doing a inverse telecine/pullup process where frame dropping
	  and duplicate frames are involved.
	* Squashed a bug in the subtitle code which hardcoded the
	  subtitles into the movie even if user has selected to
	  dump them to files on disk
	* Added support for the DETC inverse telecine filter
	* Added warning notification if resolution width and/or
	  height is not divisible by 16 as compression will suffer
	* Moved the call to the check_video_filters_func() function
	  outside of the scaling section
	* Only ask for telecine/inverse telecine filters if user doesn't use
	  interlaced encoding as it is mutual exclusive with it
	* Switched to turbo=2 for 2- and 3-pass modes when using quality presets
	  as quality loss is almost unmeasurable compared to turbo=1
	
2007-07-30 - h264enc 7.8.4
	* Added support for the Yadif deinterlacing filter
	* Added support for Donald Graft's adaptive kernel deinterlacing filter
	* Added support for Pulldown Reversal/Inverse Telecine. Please
	  read the FAQ at http://h264enc.sourceforge.net on how and
	  when to use these filters! Currently 3 filters are supported,
	  the pullup, filmdint and ivtc filters
	* Added support for Hard Telecine/3:2 Pulldown. Again read the
	  FAQ on how and when to use it, if at all!
	* Reverted back to fractions for FPS values. According to
	  MPlayer's doc, integer/float should not be used anymore
	  with MEncoder. This change also updates the bits_per_pixel_func(),
	  bits_per_block_func() and keyframe variable
	* Due to the high versioning, as of this version, h264enc will
	  continue to use a microversion. When I started writing the script,
	  I didn't think of going public with it so that's why versioning wasn't
	  important...
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-07-28 - h264enc 7.8.3
	* Enabled turbo mode in first pass for 2- and 3-pass modes in the
	  mq, nq, hq, vhq, ehq and uhq quality presets. This will speed
	  up the first pass up to 3x withouth hurting the quality of the
	  second or third pass.
	* Changed QP to CRF for first pass in 2- and 3-pass encodings
	  as CRF is much more efficient/intelligent than QP
	
2007-07-27 - h264enc 7.8.2
	* Changed shell interpreter from /bin/sh to /bin/bash as there were some
	  problems reported by Ubuntu/Debian users. Sorry for the inconvenience
	
2007-07-26 - h264enc 7.8.1
	* Merged the -bpp and -bpb options
	* Added bitrate calculation to the -bpp option which is based on the
	  bits per pixel value
	* Fixed a bug in the video bitrate calculation for a target file size.
	  If user has chosen to encode a video file which has more than one video
	  stream in it, and if the selected video stream for encoding is not the
	  first one, the calculated bitrate will be wrong as the $vid variable was
	  missing thus mplayer will get the length of the first video stream instead
	  of the stream selected by the user
	
2007-07-25 - h264enc 7.8
	* Updated the AAC part of the audio resample function. In addition to
	  48000 and 96000 Hertz, AAC also supports 64000 and 88200 Hertz
	* Some parenthesis changes
	* Added support for optimizing the MP4 file layout with mp4creator.
	  This is not a hard dependency! If mp4creator is missing, this option
	  will be skipped. h264enc still uses MP4Box for MP4 muxing
	* Changed the output FPS format to integer and float
	* Updated the bits_per_pixel(), bits_per_block() and keyframe to support
	  the new integer/float FPS format
	* Disabled converting the final AVI to MKV if user has chosen to use the
	  AAC audio codec. I've spoken to Moritz Bunkus, the author of mkvmerge,
	  and he confirmed that at the moment he hasn't found a way yet to extract
	  the AAC headers from AVIs so for the time being, it is not possible to
	  convert AVIs with AAC audio to the Matroska container.
	* Added backwards compatibility for mkvmerge versions < 2.0.0 which do not
	  officially support H.264 video in AVIs unless forced with the
	  '--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode' option
	* Added support for input video files which contain more than one video stream.
	  Note that cropping won't be auto-detected on any other stream except on the
	  first one (stream 0) as MPlayer seems to have issues with the -sstep option
	  and I still haven't got an answer from the developers on how to fix it
	* Converted the get_filesize_func() function from integer to float for more
	  accurate file size reportings
	* Changed bitrate mode for first pass of 2-pass and first and second pass of
	  3-pass encoding to use the QP constant instead of chosen bitrate. This may not
	  be compatible with older versions of libx264, so please upgrate to a recent
	  version if 2- or 3-pass errors out
	* Updated the AUTHORS file
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-07-20 - h264enc 7.7
	* Implemented user_interrupt_func() function for when the user
	  hits CTRL+C or CTRL+ALT+C
	* Added support for displaying the DVD disc title
	* Some improvements to the config directory code
	* Some tweaks to the presets
	* Updated the MKV conversion code. This requires at least
	  version 2.0.2 of mkvmerge if you want to convert AVIs to MKV.
	  mkvmerge 2.0.2 and up officially supports H.264 video in vfw AVIs
	  and the option '--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode' is removed
	* Changed default ABR AAC bitrate from 140 to 110 since AAC is much
	  more efficient
	* Implemented -bpp option for calculating the Bits Per Pixel values
	  Many thanks to Aymeric for the help on this one
	* Implemented -bpb option for calculating the Bits Per Block values
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-07-13 - h264enc 7.6.1
	* Fixed a bug in the bits_per_block_func() function. The formula was
	  wrong which made this function display incorrect bpb values
	* Fixed a typo in the man page
	
2007-07-12 - h264enc 7.6
	* Fixed a typo in the help section - thanks to Adam for pointing out
	* Added bits_per_block_func() function for calculating and displaying
	  how many bits are used for each 16x16 macroblock
	* Updated the MKV and MP4 container conversion code. Now user
	  can convert the AVI to both formats, not just only one of them
	* Complete rewrite of the file splitting code. Removed the 702 MB
	  requirement before the split option kicks in. The new splitting
	  code is much more flexible now despite of its large size. Now if
	  user has chosen to convert the AVI to MKV or to MP4 or to both
	  formats, he can choose which formats to split
	* Updated the destination output checking code. Now this code respects
	  user permissions and warns the user and exits if creation of the
	  destination directory has failed
	* Added support for dumping subtitles to a file on disk
	* Added support for AAC object type complexity profiles
	* Updated the AUTHORS file
	* Updated the README.h264enc file

2007-07-05 - h264enc 7.5
	* Web site launched for h264enc at http://h264enc.sourceforge.net
	* Fixed a small bug in the Matroska code
	* Added bits_per_pixel_func() function for calculating and
	  displaying the BPP value based on video bitrate, width,
	  height and FPS
	* More tuning to the presets
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-07-04 - h264enc 7.4
	* Added Near Lossless Quality (NLQ) preset. This preset is
	  supported only in fixed-quant mode!
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-07-02 - h264enc 7.3
	* Fixed a severe bug in the MP4 muxing code. MP4Box by default
	  falls back to 25 FPS for video content and doesn't do auto
	  detection. If the input source has a different FPS value, like
	  in NTSC or Prograssive Scan, not passing the correct value to
	  MP4Box will result in severe audio/video desync.
	* Moved global headers option inside the manual configuration
	
2007-07-01 - h264enc 7.2
	* Fixed a bug in the audio_resample_func() which didn't recognize
	  the WMA audio codec
	* Added support for 96 kHz sampling for AAC audio to the
	  audio_resample_func() function
	* Added support for Multi-channel AAC audio encoding. Note that
	  this can introduce bitrate variations into the audio stream so
	  that video bitrate calculation for a target file size won't be
	  very accurate!
	* Added support for both MPEG formats supported by AAC audio
	  (MPEG2 and MPEG4)
	* Merged code of the WMAv1 and WMAv2 audio codecs into one
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-06-28 - h264enc 7.1
	* Added support for the WMAv1 and WMAv2 audio codecs. Note that
	  this requires latest version of SVN MPlayer or MPlayer 1.0rc2
	  as previous MPlayer versions do not support encoding to the
	  above mentioned audio codecs.
	* Updated the man page and README.h264enc file
	
2007-05-31 - h264enc 7.0
	* Implemented '-p help' option for quick help on quality presets usage.
	  Now user can use 'h264enc -p help' to get a quick help
	  on presets and how to use them.
	* Added one more quality preset (Normal Quality (NQ)) and changed
	  recommended presets to 'nq' and 'hq' from 'mq' and 'hq'
	* Added support for converting AVI's to the MP4 format.
	  This requires MP4Box from gpac and only works with
	  MP3/AAC audio or NOSOUND as MP4Box doesn't support
	  the other audio codecs. User can only convert the final
	  AVI if conversion to Matroska is not selected! (you can't
	  do both)
	* Added audio_codec_in_video_file_func() function. This function
	  will only be used for input video file encodings and only
	  if user wants to copy the audio (no re-encoding). It will scan
	  the input video file for its audio codec and if it detects MP3
	  or AAC audio, it will set a flag so that the user can convert the
	  encode to MP4 afterwards (if he wants to). This will not work though
	  if the input video file has more than 1 audio channel (like in mkv
	  files) and the user has selected a audio channel other that the first one.
	  It will also not work if input video file has no audio in it.
	* Modified the file splitting code to support the MP4 format
	* Added support for checking disk space left over in the destination output
	  directory and the h264enc config directory. If < 4 GB then user
	  will be warned that he's running out of disk space in one of the
	  directories
	* Removed obsolete checking for resolution format since
	  the $scale variable translates it to the correct
	  MEncoder format no matter if user uses a : or x for
	  the resolution
	* Decreased default difference threshold deblocking value for
	  video files to 70 as a too high value can smear details too much
	* Removed an extra "layer" of piping in variables. There's
	  no need to "cat" a file and then pipe the output to "grep"
	  to get a specific value from that file as "grep" can do
	  it by itself. No need to do $(cat /path/to/file/file_name | grep "value")
	  instead use $(grep "value" /path/to/file/file_name)
	* Small cosmetic changes
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-05-25 - h264enc 6.5
	* Removed duplicate and long standing $turbo variable
	  in the MEncoder parameters for 2- and 3-pass modes
	* Added informant display_quality_preset_func() function
	* Improved resolution code. Now if user has chosen to
	  crop the input source, default resolution value will
	  fall back to the visible resolution area after cropping,
	  (eg, the left over area of the resolution after removing
	  the black bands with the crop filter). If no cropping
	  selected, default resolution value will be the original
	  one from the input source
	* Small tuning in the quality presets
	* Added support for encoder priority settings ("nice" values)
	* Fixed a small bug in the cropping function that will fail if
	  user wants to crop a video file which contains spaces in its
	  file name
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-05-23 - h264enc 6.4
	* Implemented 9 different video quality presets
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-05-22 - h264enc 6.3
	* Added support for displaying available devices
	  from /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
	* Added support for video file cropping
	* Updated the audio resample function
	
2007-05-14 - h264enc 6.2
	* Improvement in the DVD unlocking code
	* Improvement in the chapter and subtitle scanning code
	* Improvement in the DVD audio channel scanning code
	* Improvement in the aspect ratio detecting code for MKV conversion
	
2007-05-08 - h264enc 6.1
	* Added support for audio channel selection in video files
	* Decreased internal scanning time point for FPS detection
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-04-20 - h264enc 6.0
	* Only check for lsdvd if user wants to encode a DVD
	* Added support for AC3 Dynamic Range Compression
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-04-06 - h264enc 5.9
	* Updated the cropping and video bitrate calc code to support SVN MPlayer
	* Updated detection of aspect ratio for mkvmerge to support SVN MPlayer
	* Added Subpel Refinement Quality explanations
	* Moved 'mixed framerefs' option after the 'frameref' one
	* Moved check_video_filters_func()
	* More cleanups

2007-04-03 - h264enc 5.8
	* Rewrote the DVD cropping code (more precise now)
	* Removed the '-q' option of mkvmerge for more verbose output
	* Small cleanups
	
2007-03-20 - h264enc 5.7
	* Added basic support for muxing the final AVI file into 
	  Matroska container (requires mkvmerge)
	* Modified the splitting code to support the Matroska container
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-03-18 - h264enc 5.6
	* Further improvements to the options saving code
	* Fixed a bug in the video bitrate calculation (missing $device variable)
	* Small improvements to the DVD displaying code
	* Moved passlog files to $CONFIGDIR

2007-03-13 - h264enc 5.5
	* Improvements to the options exporting code
	* Fixed FPS detection for video files
	* Implemented automatic video bitrate calculation based on
	  target size, video length and chosen audio bitrate
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-03-11 - h264enc 5.4
	* Added support for displaying all DVD titles (user request)
	* Added support for inspecting MEncoder options before encoding (user request)
	* Added support for exporting all MEncoder options to a file
	* Added support for loading script generated options from a file
	  for debugging purposes
	* Temporary files go to $HOME/.h264enc now instead of /tmp
	* Updated the man page
	
2007-03-09 - h264enc 5.3
	* Improvements to the threading code
	* Added count function before encoding
