I want present You a programme which can be usefull for users and hardsub groups.

Sometimes fansub have contained mistakes or errors in subs, audio, tags, etc.
The most often solution is publish next version of hardsub. That force users to redownload whole file (ex. 233 MB). Of course we can release component files, and user can remux it oneself, but the file will have other CRC in each cases (It' depends of remuxing, time and computer) and it's uncomfortable. That's why We can't share this files on p2p and not always user knows how to remux files oneself.

Fast Hardsubs Updater (FHU) is aimed to make it possibile to create an updating patch for the following files: MKV, OGM, MP4, MPG, MPEG, M1V, M2V, MOV, RMVB, RM and AVI (AVI is rather in case of making the patch modifying RAW into fansub); or the repairing patch (which means without the remuxing process). Actually target extension is always MKV.

This updating patch is supposed to enable you to update the files in such way that the updated file can be easily made seeded on p2p (so, that this file would always have the same CRC, no matter who patches it and on what computer). This will let you popularize only the part that needs to be altered instead of making all the corrected files accessible. Thanks to this, people who’ve got the older version of the file will not have to download e.g. 233 MB but only 1-2 MB. The updated file can be successfully popularized on p2p networks without fear of occuring the hashing error.

The repairing patch is aimed to correct the file downloaded in a wrong way, or if the file has been released with minor errors.

The priority is to save the patching person’s work. The programme is relatively easy to understand (foolproof :>), yet to prepare a patch you need to have some knowledge, so I suggest reading added ReadMe with understanding :D

The programme contains checking algorithm, which verify stages of updating - from begin to end.

- updating files
- checking CRC of updated file
- lang support (PO standard)
- remuxing files
- and other :)

I'm curious, is this really much better than xdelta, besides being able to work on individual streams?

It's combining of Zidrav and MKVtoolnix + steering programm.
That's why You can update\add\remove individual streams (only when MKV is uotput file).

FHU is easy to use for user whose update file (start and show file to update), but a person who create a patch must have some knowlegde.

P.S.
I think in future will be XDelta, BDiff and PAR2 also, so You will can choose engine of update.
