Changes from Version 14.5 to Version 15

Version 15.0 has changed from Version 14.5 as follows:

New features:

image\sqrblit.gif DVD conversion, DVD burning, and menu support for DVD authoring.

image\sqrblit.gif MPEG-2 Transport file streaming (send and receive).

image\sqrblit.gif New Theora video CODEC A COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data. that offers high quality, patent-free compression.

image\sqrblit.gif New AMR audio CODEC that supports ISO (create 3GPP), OGG, AVI, WAV, and Video Streaming (Video Conferencing).

image\sqrblit.gif New supported formats for Capture, Convert, and Play:

image\sqrblit.gif New Filters

image\sqrblit.gif New Demos

image\sqrblit.gif New Functions

Feature enhancements:

image\sqrblit.gif Ability to retrieve a pointer to (and show the dialog for) a target format The format to be used for the converted file. This includes the file format, any special settings used by that format, and which audio and/or video codec is to be used for the conversion, and any special settings used by the codecs. object (multiplexer, sink, compressor Also known as an encoder, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder., etc.)

Filters, Codecs, and Multiplexer /Demultiplexers:

image\sqrblit.gif Vista support for all filters

image\sqrblit.gif Enhancements to many filters, with improved error reporting for all filters and codecs.

image\sqrblit.gif Filters now store their settings in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. (The DirectShow kernel has been changed to work even if the user is not an administrator and cannot write to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.)

image\sqrblit.gif Evaluation mechanism provides notice if a filter must be purchased and activated, and allows you to unlock purchased filters using an unlock key.

image\sqrblit.gif Filter Caching: Preload and reuse filters, instead of creating them each time they are needed.

image\sqrblit.gif Enhanced deinterlace filter: Auto deinterlace, segment deinterlace, pattern deinterlace, ROI, Protected area.

image\sqrblit.gif ISO demux modified to support more audio formats.

image\sqrblit.gif H263 encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. can now create 3GPP files that will play on mobile phones.

image\sqrblit.gif H263 encoder can now generate Sorenson video stored in FLV files.

image\sqrblit.gif H263 decoder Also known as a decompressor, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data. can now play Sorenson video stored in FLV files

image\sqrblit.gif Updated H264 encoder and decoder

image\sqrblit.gif MPEG2 Program This format supports both audio and video files. It is higher quality than MPEG1 and is the standard used for DVD compression. Multiplexer accepts new compressions:

image\sqrblit.gif Updated MPEG4 encoder and decoder

image\sqrblit.gif Updated MPEG2 encoder and decoder now support interlaced video.

image\sqrblit.gif The MPEG2 encoder is faster and supports multithreading.

image\sqrblit.gif The MCMP/MJPEG encoder has better support for YUY2 and UYVY input data.

image\sqrblit.gif UDP source can now read from TCP streams as well as UDP streams

image\sqrblit.gif Still Image filters can now be unlocked through the LEAD DirectShow Kernel Object to use any file format supported by LEADTOOLS Raster toolkit.

Capture:

image\sqrblit.gif Retrieves the estimated capturing output size for a specific duration of time.

image\sqrblit.gif Supports Hauppauge capture cards with non-standard MPEG-2 capture pins.

Convert:

image\sqrblit.gif More flexible conversion: Preview, Pause and Run during conversions.

image\sqrblit.gif Take still images from the convert object.

image\sqrblit.gif Retrieve the estimated conversion output size.

image\sqrblit.gif Log the conversion process to a file.

Play:

image\sqrblit.gif MCMP codec now plays JPEG type B streams found in QuickTime videos.
