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

  561. can decode ffmpeg MPEGs :-)).

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

  572. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  573. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  574. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.
  575. - added options -acodec and -vcodec to force a given codec (useful for
  576. AVI for example)
  577. - fixed -an option
  578. - improved dct_quantize speed
  579. - factorized some motion estimation code

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