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

  582. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  583. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.

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