  559. +AVI/H.263 file with the UB Video H.263+ decoder. MPlayer works with
  560. this +codec ;) (JuanJo).
  561. - Halfpel motion estimation after MB type selection (JuanJo)
  562. - added pgm and .Y.U.V output format
  563. - suppressed 'img:' protocol. Simply use: /tmp/test%d.[pgm|Y] as input or

  566. <lists at reserv.at>, but changed completely since we use a format
  567. instead of a protocol)

  584. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  585. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  586. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.

  598. mmx/see optimization). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
  599. - added multi live feed support in ffserver
  600. - suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
  601. external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
  602. ffserver)
  603. - added preliminary support for video stream parsing (WAV and AVI half
  604. done). Added proper support for audio/video file conversion in
  605. ffmpeg.
  606. - added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver
