  554. - changed the FOURCC code for H.263 to "U263" to be able to see the
  555. +AVI/H.263 file with the UB Video H.263+ decoder. MPlayer works with
  556. this +codec ;) (JuanJo).
  557. - Halfpel motion estimation after MB type selection (JuanJo)
  558. - added pgm and .Y.U.V output format
  559. - suppressed 'img:' protocol. Simply use: /tmp/test%d.[pgm|Y] as input or
  560. output.

  562. <lists at reserv.at>, but changed completely since we use a format
  563. instead of a protocol)
  564. version 0.4.2:
  565. - added H.263/MPEG-4/MSMPEG4 decoding support. MPEG-4 decoding support
  566. (for OpenDivX) is almost complete: 8x8 MVs and rounding are

  580. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  581. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  582. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.

  586. - improved dct_quantize speed
  587. - factorized some motion estimation code

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