  535. decoder)
  536. - added fractional frame rate support

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

  573. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  574. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  575. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.
  576. - added options -acodec and -vcodec to force a given codec (useful for
  577. AVI for example)

  579. - improved dct_quantize speed
  580. - factorized some motion estimation code

  585. URL)
  586. - added high quality image resize code with polyphase filter (need
  587. mmx/see optimization). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
  588. - added multi live feed support in ffserver
  589. - suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
  590. external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
  591. ffserver)
  592. - added preliminary support for video stream parsing (WAV and AVI half
  593. done). Added proper support for audio/video file conversion in
  594. ffmpeg.
  595. - added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver
