0.45 Sun 22 Sep 2002, joern 

        Important note:
        ===============
        - File format changed with release 0.45_04. Files created with
          older versions will be converted automatically, but can't
          be used with older versions anymore after saving!!!
          Consider making backup copies of your project files.
        - This version of dvd::rip works with transcode 0.6.0 and
          0.6.1. Further development is done using transcode 0.6.1,
          so this is the recommended version.

        Features:
        - after TOC reading and ripping a backup copy of the
          project file is stored to project/tmp/backup.rip.
          For all the people who forget to save their projects ;)
        - new audio filter selection: none (volume rescale only),
          range compression (using liba52) and normalizing (using
          transcode's port of mplayer's normalizing filter). It's
          not recommended to use volume rescaling in conjunction
          with the normalizing filter, because volume rescaling is
          done after normalizing, so the result may be distorted.
          That's why dvd::rip clears the volume rescale entry when
          normalizing is selected. Requested by Torsten Howard and
          Markus Liebl. Thanks to Tilmann Bitterberg <transcode AT
          tibit.org> for answering  my questions regarding the filter
          execution order in transcode.
        - added a text entry for arbitrary command execution after
          transcoding, suggested by simbolo <simbolo225 AT yahoo.com>
        - added a checkbox "exit after transcoding" which saves the
          project and exits after transcoding. Suggested by Florin Andrei.
        - dvd::rip now uses transcode's option --print_status 20 to
          reduce the progress updating (only for transcode >= 0.6.1).
          Thanks to Tilmann Bitterberg for the hint.

        Bugfixes:
        - at least dvd::rip 0.44 cluster mode didn't report correct
          progress and fps information with transcode 0.6.1.
        - DVD image / on the fly ripping
          - transcode frame range selection didn't work, reported
            by Ryan Underwood <nemesis-lists AT icequake.net>
          - adding audio tracks didn't work, reported by 
            Arne Driescher <driescher AT mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de> and
            Roland Seuhs <roland AT hasos.com>
        - (S)VCD mode: splitting didn't work, reported by Markus Liebl
        - Cluster mode: audio transcoding didn't work if no
          volume rescale value was set
        - progress calculation was messed up when transcoding a
          frame range

0.45_02 Sun Aug 18 2002, joern

Features
          Scanning for volume rescale information is optional
          for the new modes (this is usually done while ripping).
          
          This feature (and the whole release) is considered
          experimental, because I needed to make many changes to
          dvd::rip's internals. Please test all three modes and
          report bugs. Thanks.

No changes since 0.44_06, just a stable release. 

        Important note for Cluster Mode:
        ================================

        The internal data format of the cluster mode project files
        changed since version 0.43. You must finish all your projects
        and remove them from the cluster control daemon before
        upgrading. Otherwise dvdrip-master won't start, instead it
        will fail loading the projects with a fatal error message.
        
        If you forgot removing the projects using the GUI, you can
        delete the files by hand. Just enter:
        
        rm ~/.dvdrip-master/projects/*

        Work in progress:
        - Cluster mode: went back to per-psu-audio-processing. At
          least in theory the old audio-all-in-one-processing
          procedure was problematic regarding NTSC A/V sync.
          Unfortunetaly A/V sync isn't better after these changes :(
          Not tested in detail yet, so cluster mode may have bugs
          in this version.

        Features:
        - new button on the Clip&Zoom tab: "Show video from here",
          which plays the video from the given frame number. Based
          on a patch from Wolfgang Kinkeldei <kinkeldei AT nureg.de>.
        - illegal Clip&Zoom values are not just warned with an
          exclamation mark behind the corresponding value. They're
          also highlighted in red. Maybe in future versions a small
          button will appear in this case, which opens a window
          with more explanation of the problem.
        - added a tooltip to the Clip&Zoom images
        - Clip&Zoom: not only the effective ratio, also the physical
          ratio of each processing stage is printed.

        Bugfixes:
        - HQ presets sometimes produce odd clip values, which isn't
          allowed with YUV. Also they were not warned by
          dvd::rip. Thanks for their reports go to Davide Ferrari
          and Torsten Howard.

Features
          MINI HOWTO:  on the Clip&Zoom tab select one of the (S)VCD
          -----------  presets (PAL or NTSC). They only will scale the
          image to the correct target size, assuming the player will
          correct the aspect ratio (worked at least with xine, but maybe
          dvd::rip has to take care of it). On the Transcode tab select
          SVCD or VCD as Video Codec. All parameters which doesn't make
          sense for (S)VCD will either be disabled or set to some fixed
          values (e.g. bitrates in case of VCD). The .mpg file will
          appear in the AVI target folder of the project. Cluster mode 
          does not support (S)VCD, also the Chapter Mode isn't available
          yet for (S)VCD (to be added in future releases).
           
        Bugfixes:
        - size of the 1st clipping image was not calculated in
          realtime after changing 1st clipping values by hand. Also
          "Move 2nd Clipping" threw an exception if the width and height
          fields were empty. Thanks to Akos Maroy <darkeye AT tyrell.hu>
          for his detailed bugreport.

        Again a pre-release due to major changes in the progress module
        and chapter mode code. Please test it. Thanks.

        Features:
        - enhanced chapter mode suggested by Tim Currie <jtcurrie AT
          mediaone.net>: dvd::rip now shows a multi selection list
          of avaiable chapters per title. Now you can decide which
          chapters should be ripped and transcoded. Currently no progress
          bar is shown in the chapter selection mode, only the elapsed
          time will be printed. Also avisplit is currently not available
          in chapter mode. I'm not shure, if transcode reports the correct
          number of chapters. Often the higher chapters are empty or
          at least very short.
        - major code cleanup in the progress bar module. Among other things
          a Gtk input handler is used instead of a Gtk idle function.
          This way the GUI responses much better. Also all calculations
          (elapsed time, ETA, fps) are done by dvd::rip now and available
          for all tasks.

        Bugfixes:
        - fixed chapter mode transcoding progress bar / logging problem
        - dvd::rip failed if the project path was not absolute. Thanks to
          George Farris <george AT gmsys.com> for the report.

0.28_01 Fri Dec 28 2001, joern 

        This is a pre release for testing the new Chapter Mode feature.
        Please use this version only, if you're interested in this feature
        or if you want to test it in general. Also non-Chapter-Mode ripping
        may be affected or buggy.

        Features:
        - Chapter Mode, suggested by Norbert Preining.
          You have to enable this on the RIP Title Tab before ripping,
          because each chapter will be ripped into a separate directory.
          Transcoding in chapter mode will lead to one AVI file for
          each chapter. The progress bar guesses sometimes wrong, but the
          result should be Ok. Splitting in Chapter Mode is not supported
          and makes no sense in general.
        - removed the tcprobe-random-title-permutation workaround,
          because this tcprobe bug is fixed in transcode 0.5.3

        Bugfixes:
        - dvd::rip didn't work with transcode 0.5.3 due to changes
          of tcprobe output. Thanks to Thomas Speck <thomas-speck
          AT gmx.de> for his bug report. This release has a workaround
          fixing this problem. Another solution is to patch transcode
          0.5.3 with a patch published by Thomas Östreich on his
          transcode homepage.
