DVD SHRINK VERSION HISTORY Version 3.2.0.14 - 25 July 2004 ------------------------------- Added Quality Settings tab in the backup dialog, with option to enable AEC "adaptive error compensation" algorithms. Updated to NeroSDK 1.05, which includes support for burning DVD-9 dual-layer media. Added DVD-9 target size in preferences window. Removed "burn with DVD Decrypter" checkbox and replaced with a selectable backup target. Added burn with CopyToDVD as a backup target, this appears if CopyToDVD is installed. Added automatic support for splitting ISO files if they are saved to a FAT32 partition. In this case a .MDS file is also output which can be burned with DVD Decrypter and mounted by Daemon Tools. MDS files can additionally be opened with DVD Shrink from the "Open Disc Image..." menu. Added support for replacing a title with a custom image. A default image from Guy Incognito is installed. Added "InstallPath", "InstallApp" and "InstallHelp" keys to the DVD Shrink registry. Added "March by ZeF69" toolbar. Fixed bug where Panscan and Letterbox subpicture streams could be erroneously discarded in some circumstances. Fixed bug if volume label exceeded 32 characters. Version 3.1.7 - 14 March 2004 ----------------------------- Added function to read and write ISO files, also backup option to burn an ISO file with DVD Decrypter. Fixed bug of remapping the last subpicture streams in re-author mode, or full-disc mode if "logical remapping" enabled. Changed "About" dialog with new graphics from Guy Incognito. Small enhancements to "Backup Target" dialog. Fixed file opening code to work with only a partial DVD when browsing in re-author mode. This means you can still re-author parts of a DVD, even if missing some files. Fixed UDF reading code to open files stored in the VIDEO_TS folder of a CD-ROM disc. Added preference option to disable RPC2 drive region checking which solves problems with some hacked firmware. Backup volume label is initialized with that of the source DVD, rather than "DVD_SHRINK". Also root tree item in the main view now displays volume label, rather than "DVD". Added function to preview MPEG audio streams. Changed "Invalid data in VOB file" error to report filename. Version 3.1.6 - 23 Feb 2004 --------------------------- Fixed bug which caused occasional skipping/freezing of output DVD during playback on some players. Fixed bug which caused non-display of menu buttons in some output DVDs. Fixed ripping from Pioneer 120S drives. Added support to change drive region of RPC2 drives in case of region mismatch with disc. Set the read-speed of DVD drive to maximum before analysis and encoding (few drives support this function). Version 3.1.5 - 8 Feb 2004 -------------------------- Added warning in case of re-authoring menus: reminder that they will be converted into video clips, not menus. Fixed closed captions: no longer stripped from output files. Fixed navigation command for "no subpicture" in re-author. Also now use separate commands for default audio and subpicture as easier for IFOedit users. Changed default streams GUI in re-author mode. Fixed various problems in still-picture encoder: - PTS/DTS set correctly - timestamp of sequence end code recorded in NV_PCK - 3:2 pulldown disabled Fixed checking of DVD files when opened in "open files" mode. Fixed ISO-639 code for Hebrew to "iw". Automatically stop video preview when doing quick analysis in re-author mode. Improved support for mousewheel in DVD browser view. Backup proceeds without warning if total compilation size is within 128KB of the target size. This helps prevent warnings if automatic compression is slightly inaccurate (due to floating point rounding error). Added menu option to turn on/off "combined shared titles" in full-disc mode. Changes to application startup code, attempt to fix crash on some windows 2000 systems. Added Carlitus/Mandraker toolbar buttons. Changed compiler switches to optimize for Pentium systems. Changed all spellings of "disk" to "disc" (except in the case of "hard disk"). Fixed small bug in main window where selected menus could fail to deselect. Version 3.1.4 - 25 Jan 2004 --------------------------- Booktype DVD-ROM is checked by default, disabled if unsupported. Fixed bug where deep analysis could still be forced on. Added preferences option for "built-in software renderer" which solves video preview problems on some systems. Preview window now tries to play only audio streams which are available in a title. Changes to file reading code, can enable overlapped I/O and specify read block size by options in preferences. Automatically stop video preview when using Start/End control in re-author mode. Fixed problem of incorrectly reported burning speeds. Prefix drive letter to list of available burning devices. Fixed bug where analysis results file could be saved to the wrong filename after "deep analysis before backup", so the results were not cached when opening the same DVD a second time. Some performance improvements, analysis and encoding approx. 6% faster on test systems. Version 3.1.3 - 18 Jan 2004 --------------------------- Added support for RGB 16-bit and 24-bit video preview (for really old video cards). Fixed possible crash during video preview initialization. Added preference options for overlapped I/O and read block size, this may increase ripping performance on some systems. Changes to Nero initialization parameters which caused excessively slow read speeds on some configurations. Added Nero burn options: write speed, book type and DVD+R/RW high compatibility mode switch. Fixed "no default audio" and "no default subpicture" options in re-author mode. These are the default selection. In this case the DVD player determines which streams to play. Fixed bug where deep analysis could still be forced on. Increased maximum compression to same level as 3.0b5. Fixed bug which prevented opening of individual IFO files (can do this by dropping IFO file into DVD Shrink main window, use with caution because unless you open a VIDEO_TS.IFO file the output will not be a complete DVD). Version 3.1.2 - 13 Jan 2004 --------------------------- Fixed possible corruption of output video when low compression applied at a scene change. This may have caused pixelation or intermittent freezing. Some changes to support unicode build for Japanese language. Version 3.1.1 - 11 Jan 2004 --------------------------- Disabled overlapped IO in UDF disc reader: this solves problems with "DVD Region Free" software. Ensure all overlapped IO in generic file system code is aligned to sector boundaries. Added option to enable/disable Nero in preferences. Fixed bug where "deep analysis before backup" was forced on, even though no compression required. Some modification to Nero initialization parameters, which solves problems when virtual cd-drive software is installed. Set "system default renderer" to the default DirectX video renderer instead of VMR-9. Added support for YUVY, YUY2 and YVYU directshow formats. Don't eject burned DVD if "shutdown when complete" was selected. Fixed crash when opening IC8 generated DVDs. They still cannot be opened however. Modified text of "set toolbar buttons" dialog, so people don't think it is wallpaper. Version 3.1 - 10 Jan 2004 ------------------------- Added "analysis not necessary" message if click analysis but DVD does not require any compression. In this case, deep analysis option is also disabled in backup dialog. Added "phoenity" buttons from Lim Chee Aun. Version 3.1 Beta 10 - 9 Jan 2004 -------------------------------- Added dummy help file when hit F1. Modified text in RCE dialog. Changed dialog fonts to "MS Shell Dlg" which should map to Tahoma on XP/2000. Backup and preferences window fonts refuse to change however. Version 3.1 Beta 9 - 8 Jan 2004 ------------------------------- Added Ctrl+R, Ctrl+B keyboard accelerators. Modified view menu. Added default audio/subpicture selection in re-author mode (by popup menu) Fixed bug where "logical stream remapping" would attempt to remap subpicture stream no 62 and 63 (these IDs have special meaning and should not be remapped). "Logical stream remapping" is unchecked by default. Fixed bug where non-logical stream remapping would fail to zero completely the disabled stream in PGC_GI tables. Added "Mixed Compression" entry to the video compression box which is purely for information, better than displaying a blank entry. Version 3.1 Beta 8 - 8 Jan 2004 ------------------------------- Burn dialog automatically steps progress control when in "waiting for insert media" mode: try to create the impression that we have not crashed, but are waiting... Wrapped NeroAPI code in exception handlers: if a crash occurs within Nero, then DVD Shrink should be able to continue (without burning functionality). Improved checking of target folder validity. Improved handling of scenario where the burn target is the same drive as the current DVD source material: user is prompted to insert blank media after encoding and replace original disc after burning. Added "Logical remapping of enabled streams" option. This is checked by default. If checked, all disabled streams are entirely removed from IFO files, and menu buttons, navigation commands are remapped to point to the correct remaining streams. If unchecked, disabled streams are only marked as unavailable in PGC_GI tables, and no remapping of any kind occurs. The first (default checked) option is generally recommended, but may cause problems with stream selection on som...
