AVI-Mux GUI

Changelog Version 1.16.x

Version 1.16.11
- bugs
  - memory allocation bug could create corrupted low overhead AVI files (oops)
Version 1.16.10
- new
  - added low overhead mode for AVI output
    Warning: This mode is compatible with Microsoft's AVI splitter, but not compatible with the integrated AVI splitter in MPC 6.4.8.2
- bugs
  - fixed: couldn't use MKV source files with large gaps in an audio stream
Version 1.16.9
- new
  - can mux the video stream of MKV files to an AVI file (MKV-audio is not yet possible)
  - can resolve Vorbis laces now (i.e. can rebuild the original timestamp of each Vorbis frame in a laced block)
  - element order randomization to track down lazy coders of matroska demuxers
  - can read VobSub subtitles from Matroska files (uncompressed and zlib compressed)
  - fixed problems with special characters in file names
  - added support for multiple chapter strings in the chapter editor
- bugs
  - fixed: wrote bad forward references if the value was larger than 127 (i.e. mpeg1/2 video streams were destroyed)
  - fixed: wrote an empty cluster at the beginning of MKA files if a delay larger than the time per cluster was applied
  - fixed: bug introduced in 1.16.8 causing bad chapters with file splitting
  - fixed: matroska files with neither Cues nor index entries for Clusters in Metaseek were not read (in other words: idiotic files)
  - fixed: a random DTS sync header within the 1st 32kB of a file could screw up file type detection. The chance that this happened was less than 1:10000, but it happened :o
Version 1.16.8
- new
  - can import and export XML chapter files (e.g. for usage in MKVMerge)
  - added low-overhead-muxing for MP3-VBR streams in AVI files (incompatible to some editting applications! File splitting will be impaired!)
  - added low-overhead-muxing for DTS (should not impair file splitting)
  - can write 64 bit floats to matroska files.
  - can handle file titles for AVI files (like SegmentTitle for MKV)
  - improved joining to avoid causing a longer video frame at the joining point for MKV source files
- bugs
  - fixed: could not read 64/80 bit floats in Matroska files
  - fixed: could not read Matroska files with more than one Tag per Target
  - fixed: did not import chapters from MKA files
  - hopefully fixed: wrote bad CodecID when remuxing Flac/RealAudio-in-MKA (i don't have RealAudio files. Please test)
  - fixed: Wrote BitDepth value of 0 for unknown BitDepths (oops)
  - fixed: RIFF Tree hung when parsing files containing empty movi-Lists
  - fixed: reading of AVI files muxed with VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1 with rec lists failed.
  - fixed: could not read streams from matroska files with 2 or more blocks with negative timecode in a sequence
Version 1.16.7
- new
  - better handling for AVI files with MP3 VBR audio where NanDub (or a similarly b0rked app) tried to set a delay
  - can join AAC,AC3,DTS files
- fixed
  - Extracting AAC from AVI/MKV was broken if the number of channels was >= 4
  - XIPH lacing failed if the 2nd-last frame in a lace had a size of 255*x bytes (x natural). This only could occur with AAC audio.
  - couldn't change SBR setting for AAC-in-MKV sources
  - loading nonfirst parts of linked files written with mkvmerge failed due to a bug introduced in one of the former 1.16.x versions.
  - temporarily disabled overlapped output. There is something wrong with it
  - could not read files with empty but existing INFO list
  - When trying to join MKV files containing Vorbis audio, a wrong CodecID was written
Version 1.16.5
- new
  - Can extract AAC streams to ADTS-AAC files
  - Can extract Vorbis streams from Matroska files to OGG/Vorbis
  - Writes and reads default stream settings from and to AVI files (not supported by M$ AVI reader)
  - tries to retrieve AVI stream delays in NanDub-like AVI files
  - writes duration elements for the last block of each stream in matroska files
- fixed
  - high bitrate SBR AAC was written incorrectly to AVI.
    Warning: Older versions of AVI-Mux GUI will NOT read AVIs with AAC writting by this or later versions!
  - fixed problem that some MP3 files were not recognised
  - fixed bug that AVI files containing subtitle streams with long names couldn't be read
  - fixed bug which could cause an infinite loop at the end when remuxing MKA files
Version 1.16.4
- new
  - unbuffered read mode available to increase performance
  - changing the order of subsitles and audio streams works again, and is kept when saving a configuration
  - added support for MPEG2 Layer3 VBR audio, so that it can be written to AVI files correctly.
- fixed
  - bug added in 1.16.3 causing mkv files with many subtitles not to be read anymore
  - I somewhen broke joining multiple AVI files with MP3 audio to MKV. This has been repaired...
  - splitting files when muxing subtitles appearently got broken in 1.16.2. Fixed.
  - could not read the stream name of AAC streams in AVI
Version 1.16.3
- new
  - EBML-Tree extended a bit more
  - Added possibility to write hybride AVI files with a small legacy block. Such files won't cause the terrible windows explorer to hang, but the overhead is still as small as for normal Open-DML files. This mode is applied as default, if you did not use AVI-Mux GUI before. Otherwise, set it manually.
  - partially fixed problems with OGG/Vorbis files using ordered codebooks. Reading still fails if the last codebook of the initialization packet is ordered!
  - Audio/Subtitle - Tree uses UTF-16: Now stream names like Русский can be displayed.
- fixed
  - When muxing MKV files, the delay was interpreted as microseconds, instead of milliseconds
  - Some unsigned int EBML elements were not written in the intended order (files were nethertheless completely Matroska compliant)
  - SRT files containing lines consisting of only one character were not handled correctly
  - proper progress bar when remuxing MKA files
  - now refuses to join MKV files with incompatible video properties
Version 1.16.2
- new (MKV)
  - EBML-Tree extended a bit
- fixed
  - When muxing from AVI to MKV with 1.16 / 1.16.1, references were screwed up. Fortunately, those files did not work anyway...
Version 1.16.1
- new (MKV)
  - Should now correctly join MKV files having been created by mkvmerge using 'link files' - setting
  - saves script files as UTF-8
  - can auto-save protocol files
- fixed
  - did not correctly store non-ansi stream names to script files
Version 1.16
- new (MKV)
  - more flexible settings for Cues
  - Timecode scale values can be adjusted
  - writes CRC32 values
  - can lace video (hack! Read the output setting page before using that!)
  - can write audio-only matroska files (*.mka)
  - Bitrates are written using the new matroska tagging system
- fixed
  - fixed some bad behaviour of the stream name and language edit fields
  - Vorbis audio won't run off sync any longer if you stop and restart muxing
older ones
