- DVD SHRINK VERSION HISTORY
-
- Version 3.2.0.14 - 25 July 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Added Quality Settings tab in the backup dialog, with option
- to enable AEC "adaptive error compensation" algorithms.
-
- Updated to NeroSDK 1.05, which includes support for burning
- DVD-9 dual-layer media. Added DVD-9 target size in preferences
- window.
-
- Removed "burn with DVD Decrypter" checkbox and replaced with
- a selectable backup target.
-
- Added burn with CopyToDVD as a backup target, this appears if
- CopyToDVD is installed.
-
- Added automatic support for splitting ISO files if they are
- saved to a FAT32 partition. In this case a .MDS file is
- also output which can be burned with DVD Decrypter and mounted
- by Daemon Tools. MDS files can additionally be opened with
- DVD Shrink from the "Open Disc Image..." menu.
-
- Added support for replacing a title with a custom image. A
- default image from Guy Incognito is installed.
-
- Added "InstallPath", "InstallApp" and "InstallHelp" keys to
- the DVD Shrink registry.
-
- Added "March by ZeF69" toolbar.
-
- Fixed bug where Panscan and Letterbox subpicture streams could
- be erroneously discarded in some circumstances.
-
- Fixed bug if volume label exceeded 32 characters.
-
-
-
- Version 3.1.7 - 14 March 2004
- -----------------------------
-
- Added function to read and write ISO files, also backup option
- to burn an ISO file with DVD Decrypter.
-
- Fixed bug of remapping the last subpicture streams in re-author
- mode, or full-disc mode if "logical remapping" enabled.
-
- Changed "About" dialog with new graphics from Guy Incognito.
-
- Small enhancements to "Backup Target" dialog.
-
- Fixed file opening code to work with only a partial DVD when
- browsing in re-author mode. This means you can still re-author
- parts of a DVD, even if missing some files.
-
- Fixed UDF reading code to open files stored in the VIDEO_TS
- folder of a CD-ROM disc.
-
- Added preference option to disable RPC2 drive region checking
- which solves problems with some hacked firmware.
-
- Backup volume label is initialized with that of the source DVD,
- rather than "DVD_SHRINK". Also root tree item in the main view
- now displays volume label, rather than "DVD".
-
- Added function to preview MPEG audio streams.
-
- Changed "Invalid data in VOB file" error to report filename.
-
-
- Version 3.1.6 - 23 Feb 2004
- ---------------------------
-
- Fixed bug which caused occasional skipping/freezing of output
- DVD during playback on some players.
-
- Fixed bug which caused non-display of menu buttons in some
- output DVDs.
-
- Fixed ripping from Pioneer 120S drives.
-
- Added support to change drive region of RPC2 drives in case of
- region mismatch with disc.
-
- Set the read-speed of DVD drive to maximum before analysis and
- encoding (few drives support this function).
-
-
- Version 3.1.5 - 8 Feb 2004
- --------------------------
-
- Added warning in case of re-authoring menus: reminder that they
- will be converted into video clips, not menus.
-
- Fixed closed captions: no longer stripped from output files.
-
- Fixed navigation command for "no subpicture" in re-author.
- Also now use separate commands for default audio and subpicture
- as easier for IFOedit users.
-
- Changed default streams GUI in re-author mode.
-
- Fixed various problems in still-picture encoder:
- - PTS/DTS set correctly
- - timestamp of sequence end code recorded in NV_PCK
- - 3:2 pulldown disabled
-
- Fixed checking of DVD files when opened in "open files" mode.
-
- Fixed ISO-639 code for Hebrew to "iw".
-
- Automatically stop video preview when doing quick analysis in
- re-author mode.
-
- Improved support for mousewheel in DVD browser view.
-
- Backup proceeds without warning if total compilation size is
- within 128KB of the target size. This helps prevent warnings if
- automatic compression is slightly inaccurate (due to floating
- point rounding error).
-
- Added menu option to turn on/off "combined shared titles" in
- full-disc mode.
-
- Changes to application startup code, attempt to fix crash on
- some windows 2000 systems.

- ---------------------------
-
- Booktype DVD-ROM is checked by default, disabled if unsupported.
-
- Fixed bug where deep analysis could still be forced on.
-
- Added preferences option for "built-in software renderer" which
- solves video preview problems on some systems.
-
- Preview window now tries to play only audio streams which are
- available in a title.
-
- Changes to file reading code, can enable overlapped I/O and
- specify read block size by options in preferences.
-
- Automatically stop video preview when using Start/End control in
- re-author mode.
-
- Fixed problem of incorrectly reported burning speeds.
-
- Prefix drive letter to list of available burning devices.
-
- Fixed bug where analysis results file could be saved to the wrong
- filename after "deep analysis before backup", so the results were
- not cached when opening the same DVD a second time.
-
- Some performance improvements, analysis and encoding approx. 6%
- faster on test systems.
-
-
- Version 3.1.3 - 18 Jan 2004
- ---------------------------
-
- Added support for RGB 16-bit and 24-bit video preview (for really
- old video cards).
-
- Fixed possible crash during video preview initialization.
-
- Added preference options for overlapped I/O and read block size,
- this may increase ripping performance on some systems.
-
- Changes to Nero initialization parameters which caused excessively
- slow read speeds on some configurations.
-
- Added Nero burn options: write speed, book type and DVD+R/RW high
- compatibility mode switch.
-
- Fixed "no default audio" and "no default subpicture" options in
- re-author mode. These are the default selection. In this case the
- DVD player determines which streams to play.
-
- Fixed bug where deep analysis could still be forced on.
-
- Increased maximum compression to same level as 3.0b5.
-
- Fixed bug which prevented opening of individual IFO files (can
- do this by dropping IFO file into DVD Shrink main window, use with
- caution because unless you open a VIDEO_TS.IFO file the output
- will not be a complete DVD).
-
-
- Version 3.1.2 - 13 Jan 2004
- ---------------------------
-
- Fixed possible corruption of output video when low compression
- applied at a scene change. This may have caused pixelation or
- intermittent freezing.
-
- Some changes to support unicode build for Japanese language.
-
-
- Version 3.1.1 - 11 Jan 2004
- ---------------------------
-
- Disabled overlapped IO in UDF disc reader: this solves problems
- with "DVD Region Free" software.
-
- Ensure all overlapped IO in generic file system code is aligned
- to sector boundaries.
-
- Added option to enable/disable Nero in preferences.
-
- Fixed bug where "deep analysis before backup" was forced on, even
- though no compression required.
-
- Some modification to Nero initialization parameters, which solves
- problems when virtual cd-drive software is installed.
-
- Set "system default renderer" to the default DirectX video renderer
- instead of VMR-9.
-
- Added support for YUVY, YUY2 and YVYU directshow formats.
-
- Don't eject burned DVD if "shutdown when complete" was selected.
-
- Fixed crash when opening IC8 generated DVDs. They still cannot be
- opened however.
-
- Modified text of "set toolbar buttons" dialog, so people don't
- think it is wallpaper.
-
-
- Version 3.1 - 10 Jan 2004
- -------------------------
-
- Added "analysis not necessary" message if click analysis but DVD
- does not require any compression. In this case, deep analysis option
- is also disabled in backup dialog.
-
- Added "phoenity" buttons from Lim Chee Aun.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 10 - 9 Jan 2004
- --------------------------------
-
- Added dummy help file when hit F1.
-
- Modified text in RCE dialog.
-
- Changed dialog fonts to "MS Shell Dlg" which should map to Tahoma
- on XP/2000. Backup and preferences window fonts refuse to change
- however.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 9 - 8 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Added Ctrl+R, Ctrl+B keyboard accelerators.
-
- Modified view menu.
-
- Added default audio/subpicture selection in re-author mode (by
- popup menu)
-
- Fixed bug where "logical stream remapping" would attempt to remap
- subpicture stream no 62 and 63 (these IDs have special meaning and
- should not be remapped).
-
- "Logical stream remapping" is unchecked by default.
-
- Fixed bug where non-logical stream remapping would fail to zero
- completely the disabled stream in PGC_GI tables.
-
- Added "Mixed Compression" entry to the video compression box which
- is purely for information, better than displaying a blank entry.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 8 - 8 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Burn dialog automatically steps progress control when in "waiting
- for insert media" mode: try to create the impression that we have
- not crashed, but are waiting...
-
- Wrapped NeroAPI code in exception handlers: if a crash occurs
- within Nero, then DVD Shrink should be able to continue (without
- burning functionality).
-
- Improved checking of target folder validity.
-
- Improved handling of scenario where the burn target is the same
- drive as the current DVD source material: user is prompted to insert
- blank media after encoding and replace original disc after burning.
-
- Added "Logical remapping of enabled streams" option. This is checked
- by default. If checked, all disabled streams are entirely removed
- from IFO files, and menu buttons, navigation commands are remapped to
- point to the correct remaining streams. If unchecked, disabled streams
- are only marked as unavailable in PGC_GI tables, and no remapping of
- any kind occurs. The first (default checked) option is generally
- recommended, but may cause problems with stream selection on some
- discs.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 7 - 7 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Changed deep analysis button, it is always enabled but a message
- will popup if no analysis necessary.
-
- Changed rate reporting to KB/s rather than MB/s, which makes easier
- comparison with DVD Decryptor.
-
- Changed back to "DVD Shrink 2.3" buttons by default.
- Changed Aymeric buttons name to "Smooth" at request.
-
- Fixed progress bar in analysis dialog, so it starts at an offset
- depending how much of the DVD has already been analysed.
-
- If error occurs during Nero initialization (demo version expired,
- etc) then burning is disabled and backup dialog displays hyperlink
- to http://www.nero.com instead. Backup to hard disk will function
- normally.
-
- Append ".nrg" extension if user doesn't type one when saving
- an image file.
-
- Added property page for burn settings if burning is enabled
- * volume label
- * auto erase RW media if non-empty
- * image recorder file
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 6 - 6 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Added burning functionality.
- Burning is enabled if you have nero 6 installed. It may also work
- with Nero version 5, not yet tested.
-
- Changed "finished" dialog to handle the various states:
- * finished without burning
- * finished and burned successfully
- * finished but burning failed
-
- Added hyperlink to finished dialog, opens windows explorer at
- the output file folder.
-
- Changed DVD opening code to allow open of partial (incomplete) DVD
- folders in re-author mode. VIDEO_TS.IFO file must exist however.
-
- Added aymeric buttons, and set them to default. Not fully decided
- on this yet.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 5 - 4 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Fixed bug in re-author where titles would fail to deselect (this
- caused unintended titles could be dragged into composition).
-
- Fixed crash if attempt to load a DVD from invalid media.
-
- Increased shutdown time to 120 seconds.
-
- Deep analysis before backup is unchecked by default.
-
- Decreased time to wait for state change in preview window to 100ms
- which can improve response when selection changes.
-
- Added device-removal handling. It is now impossible to re-author
- a title from an ejected disk, or edit an ejected disk in full-disk
- mode (the document closes).
-
- Added F5 refresh shortcut. DVD browser should automatically refresh
- if a disk is inserted or removed (but volume label does not always
- display correctly until manually refreshed).
-
- Current re-authored DVD is preserved if you switch away from
- re-author mode (it will still be there if you switch back, no matter
- what you do in full-disk mode).
-
- Disabled copy or drag of the root item in re-author view.
-
- Fixed crash when copy from fulldisk and paste into re-author (beta-
- testers are supposed to report this kind of thing!)
-
- Added "Close All Open DVDs" menu option which flushes and resets
- DVD Shrink cache of opened DVDs.
-
- Fixed "Add" operation in re-author, also works with double-click.
-
- Fixed saving of analysis results in re-author mode and after quick
- analysis when dragging/adding titles. Analysis results are saved
- back to the original source DVD.
-
- Moved analysis results folder to common appdata:
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DVD Shrink.
- This folder is version independent and will not change in future
- releases of DVD Shrink.
-
- Changed DeCSS disk reader to use overlapped IO on WinNT systems,
- this may (or may not) increase performance.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 4 - 3 Jan 2004
- -------------------------------
-
- Fixed crash after start/end frames in re-author.
-
- Keyboard shortcuts:
- * F11 - switch in and out of fullscreen preview
- * F12 - play/pause preview
-
- Changed backup dialog
- backup dialog now reports disk space available
- better looking GUI
- better checking for target folder validity
-
- Added "low priority mode" to preferences dialog
- Added "disable all subpicture streams" option in preferences
-
- Deep analysis now hides the application window while analysing.
-
- Added pause/resume function during analysis and encoding.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 3 - 31 Dec 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Changes to preferences dialog layout.
-
- Added preferences option to set DirectX video renderer for video
- preview (this may solve problems on some systems).
-
- Added preferences option to automatically select audio and subpicture
- streams.
-
- Fixed bug where deep analysis would recalculate all compression
- settings to fill the target size, even if user set custom ratio.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 2 - 30 Dec 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Modified preview window to use VMR-9 if possible, otherwise use
- default video renderer.
-
- Fixed EULA so does not display twice.
-
- Fixed possible hang in video preview when dragging from re-author.
-
-
- Version 3.1 Beta 1 - 29 Dec 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Improved re-author GUI.
-
- Switched to DirectShow architecture for video preview, added audio
- preview functionality.
-
- Improved pre-analysis routines, analysis takes longer but provides
- more accurate estimation of compressed size.
-
- Deep Analysis option disabled if no compression necessary.
-
- Fixed bug in "Perform deep analysis before backup" option, where
- resulting files could be over/undersized if video not set to
- automatic compression.
-
- Disabled audio/subpicture streams are remapped and completely
- removed from output IFO file _if_ they are disabled in every title
- which contains a reference to them.
-
- Added support for custom toolbar images.
-
- Fixed "Cannot decrypt VOBS" error.
-
- Improved error reporting to indicate filenames where appropriate.
-
- Added Layer break removal.
-
- Changed "open files" to browse for a folder, not a filename. The
- folder must contain a complete DVD title.
-
- Added automatic creation of VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders in
- output directory.
-
- Added "low priority mode" for backup.
-
- Added check for available disk space.
-
- Added shutdown computer warning so user can cancel.
-
- Added installer/uninstaller (courtesy of Inno Setup Compiler).
-
- Improved support for Win98.
-
- No longer steal ".IFO" file extension for DVD Shrink.
-
-
- Version 3.0 Beta 5 - 16 Aug 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Fixed VTS address offsets in TT_SRPT for re-authored disks with
- more than one title. This will have caused problems with some
- burning software and may have prevented playback of the second
- title, depending on player.
-
-
- Version 3.0 Beta 4 - 14 Aug 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Fixed FF/FR bug which affected video compressed using "Automatic"
- mode but not actually compressed.
-
- Fixed automatic shutdown mode: changed windows EWX_SHUTDOWN
- command to EWX_POWEROFF.
-
-
- Version 3.0 Beta 3 - 10 Aug 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Fixed "big-endian" bug in re-author mode which prevented re-author
- of multiple titles from correctly playing back in sequence.
-
-
- Version 3.0 Beta 2 - 10 Aug 2003
- --------------------------------
-
- Fixed problem with mapping audio and subpicture stream numbers in
- re-author mode.
-
- Fixed crash when cancelling quick analysis after opening DVD Shrink
- by command-line or by clicking on IFO file in Explorer. Now exits
- gracefully (since cannot continue without at least quick analysis).
-
- DVD disks (as well as files) can now be opened by command line, or
- by double-clicking in Explorer. For example:
-
- "DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 2.exe" z:\
- -> open dvd disk in drive z.
-
- "DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 2.exe" z:\video_ts\vts_04_0.ifo
- -> open VTS4 on dvd disk in drive z.
-
- Fixed bug which always required VIDEO_TS.IFO file to be present,
- even if you open a VTS_xx_0.IFO file.
-
- Files on encryped dvd can now be opened with "open files" option.
-
- Fixed maximize button.
-
-
- Version 3.0 Beta 1 - 9 Aug 2003
- -------------------------------
-
- No more compression levels. Instead we have four new settings:
- - No compression - original video.
- - Automatic - DVD Shrink will choose the best compression ratio.
- - Custom - you can select desired ratio (with a slider)
- - Still Pictures - as before.
-
- Better quick analysis.
- The sample points for initial quick analysis are carefully chosen,
- and sparse analysis results are interpolated between samples.
-
- New "Analysis" button.
- This performs a deep analysis, which (a) guarantees that the
- predicted target size is met and (b) significantly improves video
- quality.
-
- New "Analysis Results" file format
- The new format is more flexible, used to save results of the initial
- quick analysis, also deep analysis results or partial analysis
- results (if you cancel analysis, partial results are saved). Also
- better checking in case of conflict of CRC values between two DVDs.
-
- One-pass encoding.
- Output files are written to HD in one pass, so no longer necessary
- to make a second pass to fix navigation ptrs. This reduces total
- encode time by about 5 mins.
-
- Multi-threaded preload buffer (in both analysis and encode modules).
- While one batch of data is being processed, the next batch is pre-
- loaded on a seperate thread. This seems to work especially well
- during quick analysis, where the waiting time for drive seek
- operations is significantly reduced.
-
- RCE region protection removal, special thanks to Mr.Bass.
-
- New "New Frame" menu option - creates another instance of DVD Shrink,
- but in the same process. This is used by re-author module which now
- supports drag 'n drop, or cut & paste, from any window (re-author
- from multiple disks).
-
- Video preview window shifted to the right-pane, which is where it
- belongs.
-
- Fixed various strange behaviours in the DVD and Streams View. Also
- removed the "Compressed" column, since takes up unnecessary space.
-
- Compression % values inverted, so they now represent the ratio of
- output size to original (small % = big compression).
-
- File reading code now supports output from DVD Decryptor in "Auto"
- file-splitting mode, or non-split VOB files.
-
- Fixed bug in re-author where only 32 titles could be played in
- sequence. The limit now is 99.
-
- Added "perform deep analysis" option in backup dialog, thus analysis
- and re-encode become one sequential operation.
-
- Added "shutdown when complete" option in backup dialog.
-
- Added "remove macrovision" option in preferences (all versions since
- 2.x have removed macrovision, now it is an option).
-
- Added "remove P-UOPs" option in preferences.
-
- Added "split VOB files" option in preferences, on by default.
-
- Fixed possible problem which may have caused gaps in audio playback.
-
- Removed option to disable menu subpicture streams, as this stream
- usually contains the menu buttons.
-
- Added option to completely disable video preview.
-
- Moved all hard coded text strings into resource file, so future
- translations will be complete.
-
- Removed "view Raw DVD" option.
-
- Added "Unreferenced Material" folder, which appears in the main
- view if material is found on the dvd which does not seem to belong
- to any menu or title. Previously the existance of this material
- would cause errors in target size calculations.
-
- Removed "error margin" option - no longer required ;-)
-
- Added "Combine Shared Titles" menu option, which is on by default.
- Turn this off to seperately list all multi-angle titles (or
- titles which share the same video with other titles) in the main
- view. You will need this, for instance, if you wish to re-author
- only Angle 2, etc.
-
- Fixed TMAP table generation for re-authored titles with angle
- greater than 1. Seek in PowerDVD etc should now work, whatever the
- angle.
-
- Various other tweaks and enhancements.
-
-
- Version 2.3 - 14 June 2003
- --------------------------
-
- Fixed bug in re-author module which occurred in certain DVDs with a
- strange PGC structure. This bug caused dvd player to freeze or lockup
- at specific points in the movie.
-
- Added support for 64bit file sizes.
-
- Added support for opening files generated by IFOEdit software.
-
- Fixed bug which caused analysis to crash if input video stream is
- corrupt.
-
- Attempt to make "Remapping VOBS" stage more reliable, even if there
- are errors on original DVD.
-
- Added automatic "retry" (4 retries) if read from disk fails.
-
- Fixed error in .IFO file output: vtsi_mat_ea, vts_tmapt_ea.
-
- Fixed bug where video could be corrupted in some rare situations (vobu
- containing more than one sequence header).
-
- Tweaked video encoder module, now slightly faster.
-
- Fixed bug in "Still Pictures" mode, picture temporal reference is now
- set correctly, and sequence end code is always written.
-
- Added "Total Processing Time" information to finish dialog.
-
- Added support in "Preferences" for combining titles which overlap or
- share the same video in the DVD View. This prevents confusion where a
- compression level applied to one title also affects another, because
- they share the same video.
-
-
- Version 2.2 - 11 June 2003
- --------------------------
-
- Fixed bug where fast forward/fast backward playback did not function
- correctly in target disk.
-
-
- Version 2.1 - 11 June 2003
- --------------------------
-
- Improved compression and new levels. The quality is much improved.
-
- Added unicode support for Japanese language. Japanese release is
- unicode, all other languages are MBCS since unicode doesn't work on
- Windows 98.
-
- Hide audio/subpicture streams of negligible size is turned off by
- default. Also fixed filtering bug in Streams View.
-
- Fixed bug where "Still Pictures" mode failed while encoding menus.
-
-
- Version 2.0 - 6 June 2003
- --------------------------
-
- New User Interface.
-
- Improved compression algorithms. This version is slower than 1.03,
- but the achieved compression ratio is greater at any encode level.
-
- Various issues about jerky playback and video corruption have been
- fixed.
-
- Macrovision is removed from the VOB files.
-
- RCE region protection is NOT removed (yet). This can prevent full-
- disk backup of RCE protected disks, however re-author mode will
- work of course.
-
- Decryption module rewritten from scratch, and no longer contains
- GNU libdvdcss library code.
-
- Multi-angle problems fixed, so you can add any angle in re-author
- mode, no more "no cell pieces in this angle" error.
-
- NTSC/PAL mixup is fixed.
-
- Invalid BCD::tc_flag error is fixed.
-
- Removed code which remapped remaining audio/subpicture stream IDs
- if any were removed. This caused problems on some DVDs.
-
- Lots of other small fixes, all of which I can't remember now.
-
-
- Version 1.04 - 21 April 2003
- ----------------------------
-
- Fixed multi-angle in re-author. The only limitation now is you cannot
- select ALL angles simultaneously.
-
- Fixed crash in re-author if TMAPT (time map table) is not present.
-
- Removed %compression display during re-encoding, since it served no
- function other than to confuse people.
-
- Fixed DirectDraw bug where copier/encoder would crash due to loss of
- display surface (when screen saver starts, etc).
-
- Modified output stream of encoder, now removes CRC and PES_EXT, and
- sets/unsets various flags in the PES headers. Still not entirely
- sure if PES_EXT is compulsory for the first VOBU in a VOB.
-
- Changed "Browse for Folder" to modal dialog.
-
- Fixed rather serious bug in "Crop" where selection by chapter was
- incorrectly offset by one vobu - why did nobody report this...?
-
- Added "region-free" control in set target dialog, this is always on
- by default.
-
- Macrovision is now removed
-
- Removed libdvdcss because of GNU licensing issues. Current decryption
- module only supports Win NT/2K/XP.
-
- Various other fixes.
-
-
- Version 1.03 - 9 April 2003
- ---------------------------
-
- Re-encoder:
-
- Added extra encode levels. This is not a final solution to the encode
- interface, just a temporary measure.
-
- Added "Still Movie" encoding: only copy the I-pictures, heavily
- compressed. This gives huge compression as an alternative to
- deletion of the entire video stream, which people seem to want, but
- re-encoder module can't handle, because it alters the navigation
- structure of the DVD. Audio and subpicture streams will still play
- normally.
-
- Increased number of samples taken during analysis, so it takes 50%
- longer but gives more accurate expected sizes. Maybe this should be
- a user option.
-
- The "not a system pack" error is fixed, by removing non-system packs
- during the re-encode, rather than throwing an error. I still don't
- know what these non-system packs are doing in the VOBS, or if they
- shouldn't be included instead. If they occur, a little message pops
- up after re-encode is finished.
-
- Re-author:
-
- Increased brightness of video preview in re-author module, add and
- crop dialogs. Preview windows in other modules are DirectDraw YUV
- surfaces for performance, so not so easy to modify.
-
- Removed support for multi-angle from re-author. Too many problems.
- Adding support again will require a virtual rewrite of the re-author
- module. User is now offered only angle 1, which will prevent crashes.
-
- Added a message next to "include menus" checkbox in re-author, so
- hopefully people will stop thinking they can, um, include menus.
-
- Added code to strip all buttons and button commands from menus that
- are added in re-author, actually from anything that is added at all.
- Most of them contain invalid links or commands, esp. in the case of
- menu vobs because they move from the menu domain to the VTS domain
- when the re-authored DVD is built. I guess no buttons is better than
- invalid buttons.
-
- General:
-
- Fixed stupid bug where region and provider ID changes were written to
- the .IFO files but not the .BUP files, so they came out different.
-
- Modified error reporting dialog. Now attempts to report the cause of
- an error using GetLastError() API.
-
- Added check that source and destination folders are different. Not
- entirely foolproof because of shortcuts.
-
- Just to make sure, encoding/copying will not proceed unless the
- destination folder is empty of DVD files.
-
- Changed distribution name. From now on, DVDShrink103.exe, etc.
