Version : 2.524. 2004/12/16


Changed: The formats for the project file and the template file have been changed. Therefore, project created with the new version cannot be used with older versions.
Added: [Project wizard (Step 4/5)]: in the media pull-down selection, DVD 8.5 GB (Double Layer) has been added, for the bitrate setting and size graph.
Changed: In the MPEG system multiplexer, the max. bitrate is written instead of the average bitrate for the multiplexing rate. It shortens the outputting process.
Improved: [MPEG Setting - GOP structure]: Even if Closed GOP is not selected, the GOP structure is now compliant with the MPEG standard.
Improved: Image quality for MPEG-1 with long-GOP, has been improved.
Improved: Encoding of scenes using still-image, has been improved.
Fixed: Errors related with encoding using multi-thread.
Improved: The encoding of MPEGs with GOP structure using only I and B pictures, has been improved.
Fixed: [Output to file - AVI file / WAVE file]: when clicking the Cancel button in the [Sound Selection] dialog, the dialog was shown again.
Fixed: [MPEG Setting - Quantize matrix]: if saving an existing template under a new name, it could not be deleted.
Fixed: [MPEG Setting - Quantize matrix]: if saving a template under no name, memory access violations occurred.
Fixed: When reading empty files (zero data), it could take a very long time to show the error message.
Fixed: AVI files created with TMPGEnc, when played with Windows Media Player could stop in the middle, with the message "Invalid file".
