Whats new in NuEnc 0.01b: - Fixed Buffer Status progress control bug (thanks to dragongodz) - CQ mode encoding is now vbv compliant (I hope! Only testing will tell...) Whats new in NuEnc 0.01a: - Fixed (almost) all GUI problems - Added a few more matrices to 'matrix.ini' - CQ mode encoding is now linear (very close to anyway) - NuEnc will not crash if you specify a too high bitrate for x-pass - Now even smaller than last release Whats new in NuEnc 0.01: - GUI Re-arranged - New encoding window displays comprehensive encoding statistics - Now able to change more options such as motion search diameter and minimum bitrate - Now less than half the size compared to previous versions (~300KB) - Constant quality encoding added (experimental at the moment) - Custom matrix support via 'matrix.ini' and external XviD style matrix files - Field order can be changed for interlaced encoding - Implements the latest changes I've made to avcodec - Fixes to multi-pass encoding. More passes will never decrease quality. Whats new in NuEnc 0.00d (only minor changes): - Compiled to work with Pentium 4 properly (oops) - Reduced possibility of underflow more by restricting the amount of remaining buffer that can be used (90%) - Probably other changes I've forgotten Whats new in NuEnc 0.00c (only minor changes): - Increased scene change sensitivity (reduces filesize) - Changed degradation/improvement for bitrate targetting (improves quality at all bitrates) - Slight rate control correction (improves quality at low bitrates) - Changed default macro block decision to 1 - Changed QLB matrix to Notch matrix (but I think that the QLB matrix was better for low data rates...) - Probably other changes I've forgotten Whats new in NuEnc 0.00b: - Multipass encoding - Ability to force key frames (for chapters, commandline only option) - Number of buffer underflows are reported - Able to keep intermediate passes for comparison - Turbo mode for faster first pass stats gathering (at cost of negligible inaccuracies in stats) - Able to turn dynamic b-frames on and off - Able to alter the rate control frame variance (1 for high quality/high bitrate, ~0.5 for low bitrate, default 0.75) - Enabling dynamic b-frames allows B frames to change to I frames on a scene change (originally P frames could only change to I frames). - Commandline options now work :) Commandline example: NuEnc -i G:\Trailer.avs -o G:\Trailer.m2v -maxbitrate 2520 -pass 2 -mpeg2 -vbr -hq -scene -gopsize 35 -forcekey ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 69 ) -keep -buffer 112 -turbo -rc_var 0.6 -dynamic This will force frames 1-8 and 69 to be keyframes (note the spaces, they are important).
