Professional Edition Version 1.20.0 (Beta)

This is not a production release and will not be automatically distributed to VIP users until testing is complete. Please read this thread if you wish to test this software.

Below is a summary of the changes/updates associated with this version (Pro release):

- Added support for writing several new output formats. Generally for MOBILE encoding (such as iPod), DVD-RB can now output MP4, AVI, and other video and audio formats. The capability should be considered as BETA TEST status (to identify bugs) only in this version. A new "MOBILE (iPod) Output" option can now be set under the "Mode" menu. urrently DVD-RB Pro uses FFMPEG (included in the installer) to create the output using XviD, H264, and a large spectrum of other possible video/audio formats (via FFMPEG). FFMPEG is a fast and powerful video format encoder that is provided under the GNU Public License Agreement. Read the file "License.txt" for more information. Support for other encoders may be included in future versions.

- 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.

- 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.

- Made adjustments to the sizing algorithm in order to prevent oversizing on oddly formatted DVDs that have huge numbers of very small segments.

- 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.

- Made several changes to the way the PREPARE phase records information.

- Other minor and cosmetic changes.
