  875. - openal input device added
  876. - boxblur filter added
  877. - BWF muxer
  878. - Flash Screen Video 2 decoder
  879. - lavfi input device added
  880. - added avconv, which is almost the same for now, except
  881. for a few incompatible changes in the options, which will hopefully make them
  882. easier to use. The changes are:
  883. * The options placement is now strictly enforced! While in theory the
  884. options for ffmpeg should be given in [input options] -i INPUT [output
  885. options] OUTPUT order, in practice it was possible to give output options
  886. before the -i and it mostly worked. Except when it didn't - the behavior was
  887. a bit inconsistent. In avconv, it is not possible to mix input and output
  888. options. All non-global options are reset after an input or output filename.
  889. * All per-file options are now truly per-file - they apply only to the next
  890. input or output file and specifying different values for different files
  891. will now work properly (notably -ss and -t options).
  892. * All per-stream options are now truly per-stream - it is possible to
  893. specify which stream(s) should a given option apply to. See the Stream
  894. specifiers section in the avconv manual for details.
  895. * In ffmpeg some options (like -newvideo/-newaudio/...) are irregular in the
  896. sense that they're specified after the output filename instead of before,
  897. like all other options. In avconv this irregularity is removed, all options
  898. apply to the next input or output file.
  899. * -newvideo/-newaudio/-newsubtitle options were removed. Not only were they
  900. irregular and highly confusing, they were also redundant. In avconv the -map
  901. option will create new streams in the output file and map input streams to
  902. them. E.g. avconv -i INPUT -map 0 OUTPUT will create an output stream for
  903. each stream in the first input file.
  904. * The -map option now has slightly different and more powerful syntax:
  905. + Colons (':') are used to separate file index/stream type/stream index
  906. instead of dots. Comma (',') is used to separate the sync stream instead
  907. of colon.. This is done for consistency with other options.
  908. + It's possible to specify stream type. E.g. -map 0:a:2 creates an
  909. output stream from the third input audio stream.
  910. + Omitting the stream index now maps all the streams of the given type,
  911. not just the first. E.g. -map 0:s creates output streams for all the
  912. subtitle streams in the first input file.
  913. + Since -map can now match multiple streams, negative mappings were
  914. introduced. Negative mappings disable some streams from an already
  915. defined map. E.g. '-map 0 -map -0:a:1' means 'create output streams for
  916. all the stream in the first input file, except for the second audio
  917. stream'.
  918. * There is a new option -c (or -codec) for choosing the decoder/encoder to
  919. use, which makes it possible to precisely specify target stream(s) consistently with
  920. other options. E.g. -c:v lib264 sets the codec for all video streams, -c:a:0
  921. libvorbis sets the codec for the first audio stream and -c copy copies all
  922. the streams without reencoding. Old -vcodec/-acodec/-scodec options are now
  923. aliases to -c:v/a/s
  924. * It is now possible to precisely specify which stream should an AVOption
  925. apply to. E.g. -b:v:0 2M sets the bitrate for the first video stream, while
  926. -b:a 128k sets the bitrate for all audio streams. Note that the old -ab 128k
  927. syntax is deprecated and will stop working soon.
  928. * -map_chapters now takes only an input file index and applies to the next
  929. output file. This is consistent with how all the other options work.
  930. * -map_metadata now takes only an input metadata specifier and applies to
  931. the next output file. Output metadata specifier is now part of the option
  932. name, similarly to the AVOptions/map/codec feature above.
  933. * -metadata can now be used to set metadata on streams and chapters, e.g.
  934. -metadata:s:1 language=eng sets the language of the first stream to 'eng'.
  935. This made -vlang/-alang/-slang options redundant, so they were removed.
  936. * -qscale option now uses stream specifiers and applies to all streams, not
  937. just video. I.e. plain -qscale number would now apply to all streams. To get
  938. the old behavior, use -qscale:v. Also there is now a shortcut -q for -qscale
