Hi everyone,

Here are the changlog of the brand new DVX and related softwares, congratulations to Dolemite for the huge changelog !

And here (http://dvx.sourceforge.net/help/DVXAviSynthEditorDialog.htm) are some infos on the new AviSynth editor, it has auto-completion, quick help, you can preview your script at different lines at the same time to compare the effect of each filter, etc.

Enjoy,

DVX:

This is the latest DVX build.

Latest changes:

3.5b

in the preview dialog, Ctrl + Up jumps to the
previous chapter, Ctrl + Down jumps to the next
chapter. To quickly search the credits start
press Ctrl + Right to jump to the end of the
movie and press Ctrl + Up to jump to the last
chapter where usually the credits start

replaced the tab controls in the settings and
options dialogs with a TreeView control

if DVX finds ac3 files it will preselect AC3
files instead of lst files

new dictionary based translation engine,
double entiries are not possible with
the new engine and missing and obsolete
entries are automatically detected by
parsing the DVX source code. Unicode support
for languages like arabic

translation editor simplified and added
some new features like search

improved english, german and french translation

improved tooltips

added toolbar button codec in main dialog
for opening the common codec settings
and drop down list for the individual
codec dialogs

fixed a bug in the bitrate recalculation after
the credits encoding. This bug was almost as old
as DVX, it produced undersize depending on the
size of the audio tracks, large audio tracks
produced large undersize

some calculations improved, the final size normally
shouldn't be more than +-1 MB out of size, my last
three encoding with different settings tested were
all between 0 - 0,7 oversize which is a acceptable
range. My tests included XviD and DivX from 0 to 1
B-Frame, avi, ogm, mkv, mp3 vbr, mp3 cbr and vorbis
at 90 kbit/s

fixed the proper display of the help which was
broke because of the preview dialog

the calculator will now be displayed at program
startup to avoid a bug I couldn't find

the log window will be displayed when the
joblist is used, I couldn't find a way to move
the program from the taskbar to the tray

credits for XviD will be encoded seperatly like
DivX because XviD has problems here

using credits the parts will be encoded direct
in the proper container format instead of first
avi because recent VirtualDubMod versions
support appending ogm and mkv segments

using credits appending the parts and muxing
will be all together in one process

added colorspaces and return type of filters
to the AviSynth XML filter description editor
and added the possibility to move parameters
up and down and to edit items via context menu

updated AviSynth plugins and updated AviSynth
XML filter descriptions

moved the AviSynth filter/parameter dialog
and AviSynth profiles dialog to dockable tabed
windows.

Parameters are updated in the script automatically
when the menu is modified

Filters can be selected in a tree view control
and can be viewed by plugin, by category
and all via a context menu.

The description/help can be opened via mouse click
in the parameter menu.

added code completion in the AviSynth script
editor. The code completion appears by pressing
Ctrl + Space. It appears also typing a filter
followed by a dot added preview for the AviSynth
profiles

added images to the main menu items in the main
dialog and in the AviSynth script editor

updated to .NET 1.1 which is now required to run
DVX. It fixes some bugs and adds some new features.
Old profiles and settings can't be reused because
of the new .NET version

various performance tweaks (has nothing to do with
applications DVX controls), DVX is still far
from being optimized

added option to automate the comp test

improved the size selection in the calculator
dialog, available are 650,700,800,650 x 2,700 x 2
and 800 x 2, the split and CD size options will
now be adjusted automatically

the automatic saving of the profile with the
start of an encode is now without _Encode suffix
for easier selection of the latest used profiles

if no source file is opened the open and save
dialogs will use the most frequently used
directory for opening and saving profiles

improved warn messages and error handling

simplified files options

improved DivX codec defaults

removed the limitation in the AviSynth script
editor, it's now possible to use variables
in the first line and to use return

added a DVD Decrypter section in the options
and added a option to demux all audio streams
and a option to specify the default target
directory

added Decrypt dialog with a option for demuxing,
it will preselect the drive with the most free
disk space or a user defined directory and
the name of the DVD as target directory and target
filename and will warn about low disk space

DVX enables the stream info and chapter info
options in DVD Decrypter before ripping
(did not work because of a bug)

improved helpfiles

added preview for the selected filter which will
preview the AviSynth script until the selected filter.
It supports multible instances of the preview and
the keys and buttons in the preview affects all
instances so images can be compared and examined easily

replaced DS.jar with X which is the successor of DS.jar
and improved support for ts files

many internals rewritten and many other small changes


Syspack:

Latest changes:
3.1
- AviSynth plugins and description updated
- XviD codec updated to Nic/16.07

*ATTENTION Win9x/ME users: As of SysPack 3.0, Unicode version of Matroska DS filter and VSFilter is bundled with the SysPack. If you want to be able to playback .mkv files using this filter or use VSFilter in AviSynth, please install the UnicodeFree package that you can download using the update plugin AFTER installing the SysPack. If you don't use these features, this SysPack won't bring any problems to your current installation.



Update plugin:
This is DVX Update plugin that allows DVX to update and install the SysPack, plugins, help files, DVX itself and other programs from within DVX.

Included in this package:
- Update plugin

Changelog:
4.0
Works only with DVX 3.5b and newer



Subtitle Ripper plugin:

This is the Subtitles Ripper DVX plugin that allows DVX to rip and compress subtitles from VOB files and to launch VSRip or SubRip from DVX.

Latest changes:

- Works only with DVX 3.5b and newer


If you want to update trough the update plugin, it is important to select both DVX 3.5b AND update plugin because otherwise you won't be able to use the update plugin anymore because the plugin API changed between these two versions.

Solutions:

1) Best solution
Update to DVX 3.5b and update plugin 4.0 in the same time using update plugin

2) If you already updated to 3.5b and have a problem with update plugin
Download the update plugin manually from this site or download DVX 3.5b from sourceforge. Then don't forget to reactivate your plugins by using the extra/settings/plugins menu.

thanks,
