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

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

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

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

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