ELDER4XVID changelog: beta6a: * new fps detection algorithm * fixed a bug with the x264 modes and avs pathes beta5f: * all data for job resume is written out but not used yet * muxing to mkv added for AVC encodes * muxing to avi and mkv added for ASP encodes * allow use of k and M as abbreviations for kilo and mega in cli * x264 2pass added to the GUI beta5e: * add bitrate, size and crf selection to GUI * GUI support for all modes * print "frames so far" in all modes * print output size error with sign * locking on the jobfiles implemented beta5d: * added SMP control to GUI * prints frames in the control window for xvid 2pass * fixed a bug in chunk computation * starts processes in lower priority beta5c: * GUI: allows to select number of CPUs * better load balancing (when -m is defined) * cleaner code * nicer text output: always prints encoded time and output size error * first chunk was sometimes missing in x264 crf mode: fixed now * added x264 abr mode * added xvid crf2 mode: same size and bitrate distribution as x264's crf mod * fixed a few rate control bugs... still undersizes sometimes beta5b: * added windows cluster mode * added crf3 mode: bitrate is spent as in x264's crf mode * GUI checks input beta5a: * added a GUI * fixed muxing to mp4 * split the project from ELDER4XVID * relies on PXPerl beta4c: * fixed parameter passing * muxing with correct fps now * new chunk formula to make muxing break less often beta4a: * splitted encode job into modules beta3: * parallelism fixed beta2:

beta1: * fixed bug when trim() was used in the input avs * use xvid_encraw for 1st pass (stage A and stage B) * consistent naming for temporary files * parallelism broken alpha5: * modify perl for compatibility with Active Perl * OS dependent defaults * added cygwin1.dll to the exe bundle; needed by avimerge.exe * added x264.exe to the exe bundle; needed to get framecount * correct handling of pathes on both linux and windows * get number of frames from avisynth; option -f not needed anymore alpha4: * sometimes wrong location for trim(): fixed * StageC didn't start: fixed * automatic selection of number of chunks if not specified * delete intermediate files alpha3: * avimerge.exe added; merging step activated * distribution style changed: one part all exe files the other the scripts * changelog added * comments added * warning if chunks are too small added * size and bitrate options added alpha2: * fixed fps fixed; now gets correct fps from the avs file * #trim() not neccessary any more in the avs file alpha1: * first public release * working 2 pass encoding using cygwin

X264: beta4c: * fixed parameter passing * muxing with correct fps now * new chunk formula to make muxing break less often * implemented new 2pass for x264 beta4b: * splitted encode job into modules beta3: * parallelism fixed
