  533. decoder)
  534. - added fractional frame rate support

  545. - changed the FOURCC code for H.263 to "U263" to be able to see the
  546. +AVI/H.263 file with the UB Video H.263+ decoder. MPlayer works with
  547. this +codec ;) (JuanJo).
  548. - Halfpel motion estimation after MB type selection (JuanJo)
  549. - added pgm and .Y.U.V output format
  550. - suppressed 'img:' protocol. Simply use: /tmp/test%d.[pgm|Y] as input or
  551. output.
  552. - added pgmpipe I/O format (original patch from Martin Aumueller
  553. <lists at reserv.at>, but changed completely since we use a format
  554. instead of a protocol)
  555. version 0.4.2:
  556. - added H.263/MPEG-4/MSMPEG4 decoding support. MPEG-4 decoding support
  557. (for OpenDivX) is almost complete: 8x8 MVs and rounding are
  558. missing. MSMPEG4 support is complete.
  559. - added prototype MPEG-1 decoder. Only I- and P-frames handled yet (it
  560. can decode ffmpeg MPEGs :-)).

  562. - fixed image polyphase bug (the bottom of some images could be
  563. greenish)

  565. and image sizes non-multiple of 16
  566. - added support for AC prediction (decoding only)
  567. - added file overwrite confirmation (can be disabled with -y)

  571. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  572. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  573. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.
  574. - added options -acodec and -vcodec to force a given codec (useful for
  575. AVI for example)
  576. - fixed -an option
  577. - improved dct_quantize speed
  578. - factorized some motion estimation code
  579. version 0.4.0:
  580. - removing grab code from ffserver and moved it to ffmpeg. Added
  581. multistream support to ffmpeg.
  582. - added timeshifting support for live feeds (option ?date=xxx in the
  583. URL)
  584. - added high quality image resize code with polyphase filter (need
  585. mmx/see optimization). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
  586. - added multi live feed support in ffserver
  587. - suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
  588. external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
  589. ffserver)
  590. - added preliminary support for video stream parsing (WAV and AVI half
  591. done). Added proper support for audio/video file conversion in
  592. ffmpeg.
  593. - added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver
  594. - redesigning I/O subsystem: now using URL based input and output
