Changes since V1.11
- improved recognition of truncated files. Due to a bug in asyncio 39.1 the
file has to be reopened to avoid seek errors.
- CyberAVI now handles files with wrong audio header chunk sizes. This lead
to seek errors before.
- added a workaround for wrong saved animations by MainActor 1.55. This
program does *real* nonsense! Thanks to Béla Schramm for the hint.
- when doing playback on public screens the animation's filename is displayed
in CyberAVI's window instead of "CyberAVI"
- fixed a bug that lead to crashes due to senseless size information for AVIs
with just one huge audio sample
- found a new type of YUV 2:1:1 animations. I don't know if it is correct but
I named them "Component Video (YUV2) Type B", because they coded are almost
exactly the same as normal YUV2 animations.
- added support for YUV9 video encoding with 9 bits (although this is really
16 bits)
- added support for YUV12 Planar MPEG video encoding. Thanks to Zer0-X
<zrx.oms@sci.fi> for these files.
- added option CMAP to allow use of external color palettes (especially for
dithering)
- fixed endless audio playback for one-sample-animations in loop mode
- added option SCREENMODEID to select a screenmode via command line instead
of requester or BestModeID(). Requested by Robert from Poland (sorry, I
don't know you second name :)
- improved recognition of one-sample-animations a bit, but this is still not
bullet-proof
- Argue 1.4 is now included in CyberAVI's archive, because for some unknown
reasons it has been deleted from Aminet and many people asked me to include
it.
