DVD Shrink 3.1.3 is out

[Pasqui]

Changelog:

Version 3.1.3 - 18 Jan 2004
---------------------------

Added support for RGB 16-bit and 24-bit video preview (for really
old video cards).

Fixed possible crash during video preview initialization.

Added preference options for overlapped I/O and read block size,
this may increase ripping performance on some systems.

Changes to Nero initialization parameters which caused excessively
slow read speeds on some configurations.

Added Nero burn options: write speed, book type and DVD+R/RW high
compatibility mode switch.

Fixed "no default audio" and "no default subpicture" options in
re-author mode. These are the default selection. In this case the
DVD player determines which streams to play.

Fixed bug where deep analysis could still be forced on.

Increased maximum compression to same level as 3.0b5.

Fixed bug which prevented opening of individual IFO files (can
do this by dropping IFO file into DVD Shrink main window, use with
caution because unless you open a VIDEO_TS.IFO file the output
will not be a complete DVD).

Hopefully a few that reported slow ripping speeds and those who had video preview problems those will disappear. Thanks for the heads up I had no idea it was released.

Thanks Pasqui. Even when you know it's been released it can be tricky to find it. ;)

Another release! Cool.
Just a couple of questions...

Added Nero burn options: write speed, book type...

What exactly is a Book Type DVD Rom?
and a dumb question, is the High Compatability +r/rw mode of no use if you are using -r media?

[TheJez]

The book-type is part of a DVD incating wether it's a dvd-rom, dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw etc. Few players refuse to play other discs than dvd-rom, fortunately most players will not look at the book-type. DVD+R(W) has the ability to write the book-type, so you can mimmick a DVD+R to be DVD-Rom. This tricks the players that will only play DVD-Rom to play DVD+R(W) afterall. B.t.w. not all DVD+R(W) burners have the ability to set the book-type, but I believe most will do, using special software or nero (see http://www.dvdplusrw.org/Article.asp?mid=-1&sid=-1&aid=44 for more info).
With DVD-R(W) it is not possible to write the book-type. This is pre-set during production and cannot be changed...

Best wishes,

The Jez
