DV-2-XviD 0.8.4 release

Last update was one year ago... The newest version comes with a patched dvinfo plugin for AviSynth. It fix a DV-2-XviD timestamp subtitle bug.

And now, it was released under GPLv3 license

Recently year I hardly got more free time to enhance it. But I'm listen feedback always and fix bug. Maybe I need more encouragement from user. :)

DV-2-XviD's new feature will be delayed

Nobody is able to handle two things well concurrently. DV-2-XviD 0.8 has achieved my target in some ways, so I'll delay new feature developing in next days and continue my MobileSync project.

I'll still listen feedback from user and I should release new bugfix version if critical bug was found. Don't worry about it. I am a DV user so that I must do my best to improve it. It's just delay, not finish.

DV-2-XviD 0.8 release!

With rewriting lots of codes, DV-2-XviD 0.8 is released now!

This version includes many significant updates.
  1. remove the ugly DOS prompt window
  2. pack into one DV-2-XviD.exe
  3. add a log frame in main window.
  4. application now has a cute app-icon.
  5. not depends AutoGK anymore. it only require XviD and Avisynth
  6. add aspect radio auto detection. (16:9 or 4:3)
I also have set up a new homepage, and have created a svn repository in google codes.

Binary download:

DV-2-XviD 0.8 support auto-detecting aspect radio of DV AVI stream!

Although OpenDML has defined "vprp" header to save aspect radio information. But in DV AVI file, it doesn't store vprp info. Fortunately DV has itself AR definition format.

When I began coding DV-2-XviD and tried to get datetime from DV avi, this great article was a important reference. Now I found it also describes AR-definition bit . But it doesn't point howto analyse it.

Then I found a detail algorithm in libavformat/dv.c (a part of ffmpeg) and merged it into DV-2-XviD. It works well. :)
