  471. - openal input device added
  472. - boxblur filter added
  473. - BWF muxer
  474. - Flash Screen Video 2 decoder
  475. - lavfi input device added
  476. - added avconv, which is almost the same for now, except
  477. for a few incompatible changes in the options, which will hopefully make them
  478. easier to use. The changes are:
  479. * The options placement is now strictly enforced! While in theory the
  480. options for ffmpeg should be given in [input options] -i INPUT [output
  481. options] OUTPUT order, in practice it was possible to give output options
  482. before the -i and it mostly worked. Except when it didn't - the behavior was
  483. a bit inconsistent. In avconv, it is not possible to mix input and output
  484. options. All non-global options are reset after an input or output filename.
  485. * All per-file options are now truly per-file - they apply only to the next
  486. input or output file and specifying different values for different files
  487. will now work properly (notably -ss and -t options).
  488. * All per-stream options are now truly per-stream - it is possible to
  489. specify which stream(s) should a given option apply to. See the Stream
  490. specifiers section in the avconv manual for details.
  491. * In ffmpeg some options (like -newvideo/-newaudio/...) are irregular in the
  492. sense that they're specified after the output filename instead of before,
  493. like all other options. In avconv this irregularity is removed, all options
  494. apply to the next input or output file.
  495. * -newvideo/-newaudio/-newsubtitle options were removed. Not only were they
  496. irregular and highly confusing, they were also redundant. In avconv the -map
  497. option will create new streams in the output file and map input streams to
  498. them. E.g. avconv -i INPUT -map 0 OUTPUT will create an output stream for
  499. each stream in the first input file.
  500. * The -map option now has slightly different and more powerful syntax:
  501. + Colons (':') are used to separate file index/stream type/stream index
  502. instead of dots. Comma (',') is used to separate the sync stream instead
  503. of colon.. This is done for consistency with other options.
  504. + It's possible to specify stream type. E.g. -map 0:a:2 creates an
  505. output stream from the third input audio stream.
  506. + Omitting the stream index now maps all the streams of the given type,
  507. not just the first. E.g. -map 0:s creates output streams for all the
  508. subtitle streams in the first input file.
  509. + Since -map can now match multiple streams, negative mappings were
  510. introduced. Negative mappings disable some streams from an already
  511. defined map. E.g. '-map 0 -map -0:a:1' means 'create output streams for
  512. all the stream in the first input file, except for the second audio
  513. stream'.
  514. * There is a new option -c (or -codec) for choosing the decoder/encoder to
  515. use, which allows to precisely specify target stream(s) consistently with
  516. other options. E.g. -c:v lib264 sets the codec for all video streams, -c:a:0
  517. libvorbis sets the codec for the first audio stream and -c copy copies all
  518. the streams without reencoding. Old -vcodec/-acodec/-scodec options are now
  519. aliases to -c:v/a/s
  520. * It is now possible to precisely specify which stream should an AVOption
  521. apply to. E.g. -b:v:0 2M sets the bitrate for the first video stream, while
  522. -b:a 128k sets the bitrate for all audio streams. Note that the old -ab 128k
  523. syntax is deprecated and will stop working soon.
  524. * -map_chapters now takes only an input file index and applies to the next
  525. output file. This is consistent with how all the other options work.
  526. * -map_metadata now takes only an input metadata specifier and applies to
  527. the next output file. Output metadata specifier is now part of the option
  528. name, similarly to the AVOptions/map/codec feature above.
  529. * -metadata can now be used to set metadata on streams and chapters, e.g.
  530. -metadata:s:1 language=eng sets the language of the first stream to 'eng'.
  531. This made -vlang/-alang/-slang options redundant, so they were removed.
  532. * -qscale option now uses stream specifiers and applies to all streams, not
  533. just video. I.e. plain -qscale number would now apply to all streams. To get
  534. the old behavior, use -qscale:v. Also there is now a shortcut -q for -qscale
  535. and -aq is now an alias for -q:a.
  536. * -vbsf/-absf/-sbsf options were removed and replaced by a -bsf option which
  537. uses stream specifiers. Use -bsf:v/a/s instead of the old options.
  538. * -itsscale option now uses stream specifiers, so its argument is only the
  539. scale parameter.
  540. * -intra option was removed, use -g 0 for the same effect.
  541. * -psnr option was removed, use -flags +psnr for the same effect.
  542. * -vf option is now an alias to the new -filter option, which uses stream specifiers.
  543. * -vframes/-aframes/-dframes options are now aliases to the new -frames option.
  544. * -vtag/-atag/-stag options are now aliases to the new -tag option.

  1164. decoder)
  1165. - added fractional frame rate support

  1176. - changed the FOURCC code for H.263 to "U263" to be able to see the
  1177. +AVI/H.263 file with the UB Video H.263+ decoder. MPlayer works with
  1178. this +codec ;) (JuanJo).
  1179. - Halfpel motion estimation after MB type selection (JuanJo)
  1180. - added pgm and .Y.U.V output format
  1181. - suppressed 'img:' protocol. Simply use: /tmp/test%d.[pgm|Y] as input or
  1182. output.
  1183. - added pgmpipe I/O format (original patch from Martin Aumueller
  1184. <lists at reserv.at>, but changed completely since we use a format
  1185. instead of a protocol)
  1186. version 0.4.2:
  1187. - added H.263/MPEG-4/MSMPEG4 decoding support. MPEG-4 decoding support
  1188. (for OpenDivX) is almost complete: 8x8 MVs and rounding are
  1189. missing. MSMPEG4 support is complete.
  1190. - added prototype MPEG-1 decoder. Only I- and P-frames handled yet (it
  1191. can decode ffmpeg MPEGs :-)).
  1192. - added libavcodec API documentation (see apiexample.c).
  1193. - fixed image polyphase bug (the bottom of some images could be
  1194. greenish)

  1196. and image sizes non-multiple of 16
  1197. - added support for AC prediction (decoding only)
  1198. - added file overwrite confirmation (can be disabled with -y)
  1199. - added custom size picture to H.263 using H.263+ (Juanjo)
  1200. version 0.4.1:
  1201. - added MSMPEG4 (aka DivX) compatible encoder. Changed default codec
  1202. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  1203. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  1204. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.
  1205. - added options -acodec and -vcodec to force a given codec (useful for
  1206. AVI for example)
  1207. - fixed -an option
  1208. - improved dct_quantize speed
  1209. - factorized some motion estimation code
  1210. version 0.4.0:
  1211. - removing grab code from ffserver and moved it to ffmpeg. Added
  1212. multistream support to ffmpeg.
  1213. - added timeshifting support for live feeds (option ?date=xxx in the
  1214. URL)
  1215. - added high quality image resize code with polyphase filter (need
  1216. mmx/see optimization). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
  1217. - added multi live feed support in ffserver
  1218. - suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
  1219. external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
  1220. ffserver)
  1221. - added preliminary support for video stream parsing (WAV and AVI half
  1222. done). Added proper support for audio/video file conversion in
  1223. ffmpeg.
  1224. - added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver
  1225. - redesigning I/O subsystem: now using URL based input and output
