Sonic CineVision 2.0 New?

[Toti]

What are the new features of 2.0? I only read that it uses the new encoding engine from MainConcept for AVC and Microsoft's latest encoder for VC1.

Anybody else using 2.0? Is there anythingelse am missing?

Fast first pass and faster Core ...

And newer versions of Sonics Cinepack Decoder/Demuxer but im not so sure if their better especialy for H.264 inside Transport Stream it seems more bad on first tests but you have to expect such interoperability problems between all this Muxer/Parser/Demuxer/Decoder not only Open Source also Commercial ones Sonics Mpeg Demuxer has ben renamed now to Sonic Stream Parser as this name fits it better as it can Parse many things not only .mpg and very efficient but it has a problem with a x264 transport stream here (ac3 audio is allways to late but enough resources are left for it) :P, sometimes i really think it's better to use complete tools from one company and don't try to mix and match them it seems not to work in most cases you will have problems (also on playback for example Cyberlinks Decoder doesn't like some x264 streams, because i think it was mainly optimized in terms of buffer and so for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray and out of the official Spec streams couse problems then especialy x264 ABR streams). Open Source Players Playback such streams most of the time but Open Source Player are still some way behind Commercial ones especialy under Windows in terms of Hardware accelleration support. Im investigating on some of these interoperability problems in my Decoder testing wich is still a ongoing process as i currently buildup my own Windows Testplatform for it to avoid "Directshow Hell" and other problems.
