0.9.9.2 (2006-05-01)
- The x264 dialog has been reorganized.
- The x264 switch '--bime' was added as 'B-Frames/Bidirectional ME'.
- The x264 switch '--no-fast-pskip' was added as 'Analysis/No Fast P Skip'.
- The x264 switch '--direct' was added as 'B-Frames/Direct Mode'.
- Updated x264 to revision 516 using sharktooth's build.
- DivX was updated to version 6.2.2.
- Opening a audio source file that has a filename containing the language will cause StaxRip to pick up the language from the filename so it's no longer necessary to set the language manually.
- Opening a source file while another source file is already open will show a dialog to select a template from. Previously just a warn message appeared asking to load a template first.
- The options dialog has several new options allowing to disable certain assistant instructions. For now the following reminders can be disabled: crop, filters, cut and comp. check.
- When StaxRip shows a dialog for the very first time it will automatically show the help of the dialog. It's now possible to disable this behavior in the settings.
- For HDTV the image size is ofter larger then the monitor screen size, in that case StaxRip shows the crop dialog maximized fitting exactly the monintor size.
- The command 'Perform/Clear Jobs' was added allowing to clear the job list.
- The command 'Correct/ImageSize' was added. It changes the image size to the cropped image size in case no resize filter is used. This command is always performed after the crop dialog closes.
- The command 'Correct/Crop Mod' was added. It crops until crop width and height is a multiple of 4 or in case no resize filter is used 16. This command is always performed after the crop dialog closes.
- The command 'Perform/Add Job' was added allowing to add a job to the job list.
- The command 'Perform/Run Jobs' was added allowing to start encoding the jobs.
- The quality percent value that is used in conjunction with the compressibility check defaults now to 60% for XviD and DivX and 50% for x264. StaxRip will offer to reset all video encoder settings.
- StaxRip no longer uses a default project but allows to specify which template to load at startup.
- The main window supports now tooltips showed with a right-click or by using the 'What's this?' menu item (command: 'Help/What's This?'). StaxRip will offer to reset the main menu to make this menu item show up.
- The automatic correction of crop values uses now two sides.
- The crop dialog shows now mod values and labels in the status bar.
- The menu editor uses now a menu instead of a drop down to select a command. The advantage of a menu is a hierarchical presentation and tooltip context help.
- Added project option 'Advanced/Dangerous/Save Cropping' to disable forcing save mod values for cropping.
- Updated the guides regarding multipass vs quality mode.
- The size menu in the main window has new default values allowing to set the size/bitrate based on a quality of 40/50/60/70/80% which can be useful for codecs with multipass better tuned then quality mode. StaxRip will offer to reset this setting.
- The audio settings for the PlayStation Portable were improved. StaxRip will offer to reset audio related settings.
- The profile menus support now a tree structure based on slash signs ('/') in the profile name. StaxRip forces to reset audio and video encoder profiles to have new profile names.
- The open files dialog supports now Drag & Drop to add files.
- Open the target directory after the encoding was removed because windows explorer might crash for unknown reasons.
- The dialog for opening source files has various new options for batch processing.
- The PayPal donation link was broke due to changes from PayPal.
- The 'More Guides' help document was updated with a italian guide.
