Dvd-rv 1.20

[healy]

This latest release seems to contain only updates related to mobile use.

I am currently at 1.12.1. If I have no need or interest in encoding for mobile devices, is there anything in this release worth downloading?

And if I do not upgrade to this release, will it prevent me from upgrading to a later release that have features or bug fixes that I am interested in?

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Well there are some minor/cosmetic changes. It could be for either one or it may mean he's updated the anti-cracking bit.

If you don't upgrade, you can still upgrade at a later time. Also, there is a version of DVD-Rebuilder that does not include the mobile feature. Check out the link in the email you would have recieved.

There is nothing to prevent you from continuing to use the version you have. But I would recommend you always stay current. There have been more changes than just MOBILE support since 1.12.1. Here are some examples:

- Added a new feature for prefix recognition to the filter
processor. These are meant to help descriminate on the
usage of filters. Now you can add "E:", "F:", "I:", or
"P:" as a prefix to a line added in the filter editor.
The prefixes represent "Extras", "Feature", "Interlaced",
and "Progressive" respectively. When specified, the prefix
will limit that filter to usage only when the source to be
encoded matches the prefix. For example, if specifying
"E:filter1()" the filter "filter1()" would only be applied
to segments that are determined to be extras. Setting
"e:i:filter2()" limits use of "filter2()" to segments that
are extras -- and are also interlaced. (v1.20.4)
- Added text to the LOG that identifies the source being
processed (v1.20.4)
- Implemented code to save the summary line from PREPARE to
the INF file. In prior versions the summary at the end
of a batch encode set could be incorrectly reported when
the PREPARE phase was skipped during batch. (v1.20.4)
- Corrected an error that would cause AVISYNTH errors in
countries that use the "," as a decimal. (v1.20.2)
- Corrected a processing problem during the PREPARE phase
for "Movie-Only" encodes. The problem could cause
PREPARE to take significantly more time than is necessary.
(v1.20.0)
- Added code to test and correct for corrupt streams in
which garbage are at the start of a cell, and are
followed by the orphaned remains of a GOP. This
condition has been seen to cause incorrect writes of
frame flags and the error condition "Corrupt Stream
Detected" during REBUILD. (v1.20.0)
- Made adjustments to the sizing algorithm in order to
prevent oversizing on oddly formatted DVDs that have
huge numbers of very small segments. (v1.20.0)
- Corrected a bug in which ILVU segments might receive a
lessor bitrate than they should based upon the analysis.
- Updated the calling/checking mechanisms used to invoke
encoders. This should make the processing more robust
as well as (slightly) improve encode times. (v1.20.0)
- Made several changes to the way the PREPARE phase records
information. (v1.20.0)In addition there have been a few "minor and cosmetic" changes for each release between v1.20.0 and 1.20.5.

@ Linx05 & JDobbs

Thanks for the info. I had not noticed all the changes listed except for the additional mobile abilities. Will be upgrading as
soon as I can.

Again, Thanks
