Changes in this version:

CHANGES MADE TO PRO AND FREEWARE VERSIONS

- Fixed the "Runtime Error 52" that occured with the
working path is invalid. A proper error message now
appears and gracefully exits the PREPARE.

- Changed the displayed text of the error message in an
UpdateIFO routine so it spells out any missing cells
that it has found during REBUILD. Formerly known as
the notorious "Contact developer" message.

- Added the "adjust_q_matrix=0" parameter to ECL files to
prevent CCE from using adaptive quantizer matrices as
there could be incompatibilities on some DVD players.

- Corrected an error in which an exceptionally large
segment (e.g. Cape Fear bonus disc) could cause DVD-RB
to not integrate file into the output, causing an
extreme undersize in the VIDEO_TS folder.

- Added code that will automatically update your Skins if
they are out of date. This is needed to ensure layout
changes or possible new fields are also updated.
- Changed the button for starting batch encodes from "Ok"
to "Start" -- the OK button was confusing...

- Modified the CCE Advanced settings dialog so the number
of passes can't be changed when CCE Basic is selected,
(CCE Basic does no more than 2 passes). This seems to
have caused confusion for some who weren't aware of CCE
Basic's two pass limit.

- Removed "Dynamically Assign Cell Bitrates" as a menu
option. Cell bitrates are always dynamically assigned
now. Not doing so detracts from output quality.

- Changed the actions taken for segments of less than 60
frames. Instead of setting to CBR, VBR is used but with
a minimum bitrate. This more accurately correct the
reason for adding this fix originally.

- Changed INF file slightly. Added two new values to each
segment section.

FEATURES ADDED TO PRO VERSION ONLY

- ADDED A MAJOR "Pro" FEATURE. A Segment Viewer/Editor
option has been added to the "Options" menu. This editor
(following the PREPARE phase) allows you to view each of
the detected segments to see what it contains, you can
then selectively blank out the video, or replace it with
a SLIDESHOW. Saved space is reallocated to the DVD's
main feature. Look for more options being added to the
editor in future versions.

- Added a "Movie and Menu Only" option to the "Mode" menu
this will automatically detect extras following PREPARE
and blank them out -- leaving the movie and menus fully
functional.

- Added a "Movie, Menu, and Slideshow Extras" optin to the
"Mode" menu. This option will automatically detect extra
segments and replace them with a SLIDESHOW.

- Added the ability to set the HC encoder path in the
SETUP screen. This was requested by a couple of folks
who wanted to put it somewhere other than in the DVD-RB
dirctory.

- Updated STILLFRAME code so frames are no longer reencoded
but instead are kept intact and are reintegrated into the
output stream.

- Removed the path settings for DECOMB.DLL from the SETUP
screen. The filter is (or at least should be) rarely
used and I wanted to clean that up before going to
version 1.00. You can still set the path by editing or
adding a "DECOMB=" line in the [PATHS] section of the
REBUILDER.INI file.

To get this version you have to make a donation and you get the VIP release sent to you. I would say thats me EYEREX this is is the best DVD backup software released in the last two years...

version (v0.86 Pro) out now

CHANGES MADE TO PRO VERSION ONLY

- By popular demand I have added a new Movie-Only
mode. By removing all extraneous material this
mode guarantees the highest possible quality
reproduction of the DVD's main film.
- Modified the HC One Pass VBR prediction and
parameter passing to take advantage of the new
version (HCBatch, v014 or above). Hank315 has
modified the new version to limit maximum
bitrate. This makes it possible to use HC OPV
and remain within DVD bitrate limitations.
Outstanding work by Hank315. This encoder is
giving CCE a run for its money.
- For experts: I've added a flag under "Resize
to Half-D1" that allows for adjustment in the
method of resizing. While my testing shows most
sources use a "generic PAR" and will be resized
directly -- there are ITU PAR sources that need
to have the left/right overscan areas stripped
before resizing to Half-D1. The "Adjust for ITU
Aspect Ratio" flag does that. Please note that
the difference is very slight and in most cases
would not be noticable. An ITU PAR incorrectly
size would only show a 2% horizontal aspect
distortion.

The best just got better now does movie only :) Remember if you want the latest pro version you have to make a donation....
