ffmpegX 0.0.9o - Aug 21, 2004

What's new:

- The "Save as.." default destination is now automatically set by appending ".ff." to the source. Eg. if you open "/Movies/a.mov", the "Save as.." path when encoding to avi will be set to "/Movies/a.mov.ff.avi". If the source is a VIDEO_TS folder, then the generic destination filename "movie" will be used by default.
- Added "MP4" quick preset using ffmpeg engine, to encode to .MP4 format using the libavc mpeg4 codec and AAC sound (you can also use .MP4 .XviD instead of .MP4 libavc mpeg4).
- Added video encoding to .MP4 libavc mpeg-4 with ffmpeg engine.
- Added video encoding to .MP4 XviD with ffmpeg engine.
- Added "fixed quantizer mode" for mencoder XviD, to achieve constant quality XviD encoding. To use it, set qmin=qmax (lower values mean better quality, use 2 or 3 for max. quality). The encoding will take place in constant quality and variable bitrate (instead of constant bitrate and variable quality). The bitrate value will be ignored, so the bitrate calculator should not be used. When encoding in fixed quantizer mode, the final file size will depend on the movie complexity and is not predictable. Please note that 2-pass disables constant quantizer mode.
- Added "Cartoon content" option to mencoder XviD, which sets internal thresholds in order to take better decisions on motion vectors and improve quality on flat-looking cartoon or anime.
- Added Trellis quantization option to mencoder XviD and ffmpeg engines.
- Added Quarter Pixel motion compensation option to ffmpeg engine.
- Fixed an issue with 3GP encoding from 0.0.9n.
- Fixed mencoder AVI compatibility with Quicktime Player for files bigger than 1GB (please remember that AVI 1.0 files must be smaller than 2GB).
- Subtitles popup-menu range is now 0-31.
- Updated to ffmpeg CVS of Aug 21, 2004.

major wrote in a previous thread:

• I found there is indeed a strange issue linked to the recently added speed improvements for biprocessor machines, which seem to break cropping. I'll fix this in 0.0.9o.

I haven't had time to check out this new release yet, but was this addressed? There didn't seem to be any reference to it in the changelog above.

I was not able to reproduce that issue again, so nothing has changed about cropping. If you find an issue, please report it with much detail as possible (email logs to major4@mac.com).

Hello,
tried to install 0.0.9o on a clean system.
Re-downloaded all the components, when I try to install I get the following error;

The installation was not successful
##/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Do you know what the problem is?
It occurs even if I select one of the components (tried all separately).
Thanks.

Mark

Ps didn't have any problems installing 0.0.9k, tried installing 0.0.9 after that without success.
