Revision History Version : Beta12h. 2001/06/28   Fixed bug : worse encoding result of MPEG-2 has been fixed. Fixed bug : encoding with MPEG-2 interlace, motion search precision is "standard" got worse result. Fixed bug : at MPEG setting, "comment" was not activated. Fixed bug : if multiplex VBR MPEG files, divided by 0" error occurred. Version : Beta12g. 2001/06/19   Fixed bug : Under Windoes9x, language selection is disabled since it was not switched properly. TMPGEnc does not check error for audio compression with ACM any more. Fixed bug : "/encode" option for short cut did not work properly, and caused an error. Fixed bug : Task priority was not controlled properly if TMPGEnc is not used at all despite the program was started. Fixed bug : Framerate was not specified properly on "automatically convert to 24fps". Fixed bug : If file cache is disabled under environmental setting, an encode log file includes something extra has been fixed. Fixed bug : After loading VCD template, TMPGEnc was not able to encode if audio source is mono. Users without administrator rights are now able to run TMPGEnc. (However, you have to start TMPGenc with Administrator rights first.) Fixed bug : Audio was missing if TMPGEnc encode an MPEG file which is made by some MPEG capture board. Under batch encode, now you can select all executed files(projects). Version : Beta12f. 2001/05/09   Fixed bug : could not "cut" MPEG-2 file for SVCD format at "MPEG Tool". Improved motion search per half pixel. Outputted directory for batch encode can be specified at once. TMPGEnc is now able to open WAV file which is larger than 2GB smaller than 4GB. While outputting WAV file, an error message pop up if the file size exceeds 4GB. If an operation is related to FAQ, the FAQ is now automatically displayed.   Version : Beta12e. 2001/04/04   Fixed bug : inappropriate SVCD template at beta12c and 12d. Fixed bug : Some access keys did not work at clip frame setting dialog. Fixed bug : when outputting AVI/WAV, system freezes at "99% left". Enlarge/reduction has got faster. Fixed error when converting RGB > YCbCr of MPEG-Vidoe encode. Add short cut key to each command in "Add current project to batchlist" menu. At command line, "/batch" option enables start batch encoding automatically once the application is started. At command line, you can select batch encode list file (*.tbe) to load when application starts. As external encoder, LAME has supported. As external sampling rate converter, SSRC has supported. Fixed bug : external resampler did not start at AVI, WAV output At environmental setting, history function has added to external tool items. Fixed bug : at environmental setting, an error "file was not created." is not shown when using "Disables cache by Operating system to access file(s)".    Version : Beta12d. 2001/03/01   Less strict error check on audio compression part of AVI, WAV output.  Fixed problem : Memory access error occured when MPEG-Video is encoded with multi-thread enabled. Fixed problem : When using external encoder, produced WAV file was not removed. Add "Finish encoding after this encoding process." to abort batch encoding. Fixed problem : For mcf file, unused "MPEG.Video.TopFieldFirst" was produced. TMPGEnc does not load JPEG file into RAM completely any more, thus TMPGenc does not freeze when large MPEG file or Type-1 DV file was opend. Add "Disables cache by Operating system to access file(s)". This can be selected at Enviromental setting. This prevents NT OS from increasing system cache. Add magnifying glass for custome color correction and Ghost erace.   Version : Beta12c. 2001/02/19   Add MPEG-2 Encoding function for the purpose of evaluation. This function will be automatically disabled after 1 month. Supports SSE2 in Pentium4 Fixed problem : when encoding MPEG, TMPG keeps using more RAM. Supports encoding 320x240, non-interlace movie at "Convert to 24 fps automatically" command. TMPG now judges movie files in different folders are identical (if binary is same.) At "Convert to 24 fps automatically" command, cache is saved to project file too. When encoding, even if "Convert to 24 fps automatically" has done, the setting won't be disabled. At force picture type setting, motion search precision can be changed on the way. At Quantize Matrix, editing DC component of Intrablock is disabled. (even if edited, it won't be reflected.)  TMPG now can sampling rate conversion with wavefs44, WTC and SCMPX. Supports external encoder MP3Enc. Preview can be shown at "file menu" > "Preview" even if filter is disabled. At user interface, user can choose language. Fixed problem : TMPG could not read Type-1 DV AVI file whose audio is 48000Hz. Fixed problem : TMPG could not start without quartz.dll included in DirectShow runtime. Fixed problem : there is an error when user who does not have administrator rights started TMPG under WinNT/2000. Fixed problem : there is an error when different channel number is selected at ACM codec select window. TMPG now is able to read AVI, WAV whose audio is CCITT A-Law. Fixed problem : TMPG could not read AVI file whose chunk size of RIFF is not multiple of 2. Change error message when VFM, ACM codec was not able to initialized. Supports reading JPEG files. Supports reading sequence JPEG files. Fixed problem : when outputting sequence TGA files, the movie is updise-down. Supports reading sequence TGA files with detecting the direction of image. Fixed problem : when outputting WAVE, BMP or AVI, the file name comes with 2 periods (such as 123..wav). Fixed problem : At custom color collection, if user executes more gamma correction or use more than 2 color spaces, memory access error occurs.  At custom color collection, to clip top/bottom color value, add "Set Max value" "Set Min value" and "Clip top/bottom of brightness" command. Supports clip frame setting and background color setting to put movie. (This can be done at clip frame setting dialog.) Supports setting with preview in actual aspect ratio which is outputted at clip frame setting. At ghost erase, shade off parameter has been added. This helps to remove shaded ghost (but not fast yet). At ACM access part of outputting WAVE, AVI, TMPG now ignores an error if it occurs at the end of encoding. TMPG converts number of audio channels by its own. Fixed problem : TMPG could not use MAENC as external encoder properly. Fixed problem : at automatic GOP split (this is done automatically when GOP is too long), copy B picture part (frame) is splited. This function has improved. Supporting multiplex MPEG Audio which as ID3 tag. Fixed problem : while batch encoding, even if project is set "done", the project is started. TMPGENC.VFP plug-in is now registered to TMPGEnc, not to batch file. Put TMPGEnc.vfp at the same folder as TMPGEnc.exe, then run TMPGEnc.exe, this will register the plug-in.   Version : Beta12b. 2000/12/04   Disabled MPEG2 related function. Optimize the program for speed up. Encoding speed has little bit improved by implementing SSE code of DCT, iDCT. If SSE is enabled, same DCT routine is used because of decimal floating point calculation apart from the setting of "Use decimal floating point DCT".  Add New option of motion search "Motion search(High speed)". This function searches broad area in high speed since it estimates / searches motion of time dimensional direction.  Updated user interface of preview playback window. The function of multiplex that "mux://filename" is specified for Audio/Video source, has changed. This function can be used if it is enabled at Environmental setting.  TMPGEnc Project File Reader is not included any more. Use TMPGEnc.vfp to read tpr file as movie file. Fixed bug : Quantize Matrix setting was not effected in force picture type setting.  Add setting to switch a group(same as GOP) to distribute bitrate in force picture type setting.  Add capability to read a text file which contains only frame numbers by load button in force picture type setting. Supporting HSV color space in custom color correction . Supporting display in YCbCr at histogram of custom color correction . Modifying the expression in custom color correction: "YCbCr value area correction" is changed to "CCIR601 opposite scale". Add "extend brightness to 0 - 255 "in the option of custom color correction. This extends Y value of YCbCr.  Overlay or preview of encoding. is always displayed in CCIR601 opposite scale. When encoding, "Convert to 24 fps automatically" can be enabled automatically. However, it won't be converted to 24 fps when tpr file is read through VFAPI or preview is encoded.  Add "threshold value" to disable interlace automatically in "Convert to 24 fps automatically". The value gets higher, the herder to disable interlace.  Add "Automatic setting" to disable interlace depends on the condition of movie in "Convert to 24 fps automatically". By omitting check when reading AVI, it can be read if ForceYUY2 option is ON in PIC Video MotionJPEG Codec.  If "Output bitstream for editing" is ON, it is always outputted in Closed GOP. This does not depends on the Force picture type. Merge(cut) in "MPEG tool" is done per GOP, not per I, P picture any more.  With Merge(cut) in "MPEG tool", add function to merge MPEG files whose Quantize Matrix are different. Bug fix : does not select bitrate which is not compatible with MPEG-Audio standard any more. Supporting "Enable padding if the bitrate is lower than minimum" option in VBR, MVBR, CQ, RT_CQ.  Eliminate function to calculate bitrate by setting 0 for Max/Min bitrate in 2 pass VBR.  Capability to read non compressed 24bits RGB TGA file.  Consecutive TGA file can be outputted.
