[QDVDAuthor-devel] July 08'th 2004 update

[QDVDAuthor <qdv...@us...>]

July 08'^th  2004

After a long struggle I have finally begun to throw out the ImageLibrary 
dependencies. You no longer need to have ImageMagick or any of the other 
image libraries installed to compile 'Q' DVD-Author.
In order to compensate for the lost dither function of ImageMagick and 
co, I added the KImageEffect class to my little project.

Don't worry, I made sure you still have plenty to choose from. I 
replaced the ImageLib choices with VideoLib choices.
I want to make the video backend transparent to either xine or mplayer. 
This means you can pick your favourite media player to use 'Q' 
DVD-Author with. And also some video streams might work better with one 
over the other library.

This change affects also the naming of qxine, which will now be named 
qplayer. Also on the code base I will make the name changes to reflect 
the new scheme.

I am also updating the web page now to reflect the changes in the future 
release. If I can find a spare second of time I will check in the 
changes in CVS tonight.

Stay tuned as 'Q' DVD-Author is getting better and better.

Varol :)
