I'd like to thank the following people for their feedback on this program:
Peter Cranmer
The first person ever to mail me about Videotrans :-) He had a few
installation issues with the first versions of Videotrans and also
had a problem with encoding AC3 5.1 movies from NTSC to PAL, which
he reported and I fixed by eliminating the use of "sox", which can't
handle six channels of sound (four is the maximum).
Steve Head
Reported problems with the stream.yuv named pipe being created in
the current directory, which was not always possible due to
permissions and such. I've fixed this issue by moving all temporary
named pipes to the /tmp directory. Steve also requested the
possibility to write the output of an encoding session into another
directory than the directory in which the source was present. I've
implemented this feature. Steve also reported some problems with long
filenames where the last part of that filename would be garbled in some
situations. That issue boiled down to be "bash"'s fault, which has
already been fixed in the newest versions of "bash".
Pierre Larroque
Reported problems with ImageMagick's "convert". He used a newer
version than I did, and his version was more restrictive regarding
the filenames that were used in the -draw option. I've fixed this so
that it works correctly in the older and newer versions of "convert".
Duncan McQueen
Reported problems with movie-rip-tv.com, which was out-of-date since
tv.com changed its URL structure. I've fixed this.
Glen Stewart
Reported that not every filename he used worked correctly. I've fixed
this issue by escaping all the strings used anywhere correctly.
Wes Hertlein
For pointing out some unclear passages in the manual pages (which
have been altered to make them clearer). Also, he pointed out some
uses of lynx and fmt that do not work on every platform. These
problems have also been fixed.
Bram Avontuur
For pointing out that the URL of the MJPEG tools project is not
http://mjpegtools.sourceforge.net/ but http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
and that configure.ac did not contain a test for spumux, which is
part of the dvdauthor package and is required by movie-title.
Grgoire Favre
For making suggestions that led to the creation of the
movie-make-title-simple program and the adjustments to movie-title
that were required to support simple menus. Furthermore, we worked
extensively together to solve multiple bugs.
Paul Smith
For pointing out that some AVI file need mplayer's -nobps option to
play correctly. I added the -b option to movie-to-dvd for this purpose.
Furthermore, I added the -O option as well so that people can supply
their own options to mplayer if they need to.
Also, Paul pointed out that the audio level of an encoded movie is not
equal to the source's audio level. I've tried to circumvent this by
using mplayer's "volnorm" audio filter.
Stephen Lee
For pointing out that according to the DVD standard, PAL DVD players
are required to support MP2 and AC3, and NTSC DVD players are
required to support AC3 but not MP2. I've changed the audio routines
to take this into account. Further, movie-to-dvd's -c option was born
because of this, allowing the forcing of a specific audio codec.
mjlar94 (real name unknown)
For pointing out that mplayer's keyboard controls were still active
while transcoding, which causes problems if keystrokes are accidentally
typed in the window in which Videotrans is running. I've disabled the
keyboard controls now in all situations where mplayer is used.
Alexandre Bourget
For pointing out that movie-to-dvd did not handle movies without
audio correctly. I've fixed this by making mplayer read /dev/zero
as a fake source of audio, causing it to create silence of the correct
length, which will then be placed into the destination audio stream.
Maarten Boekhold
For asking for the audio bitrate overriding option, which is now
implemented in movie-to-dvd in the form of the -Q option.
Srgio Monteiro Basto
For reporting that the newest dvdauthor does not support the
"widescreen" attribute for 4:3 source material.
"Multinymous"
For reporting that -nojoystick and -nolirc are necessary options
to mplayer to avoid corruption of the encoding.
Sikon
For supplying a patch file to fix the usage of minus signs and
hyphens in the manual pages. Furthermore, he pointed out that
library.sh should not be installed as an executable script, but
as a non-executable text file (it is never run standalone).
