  =========================================== Version 1.6 -- Released 01/06/2008 =========================================== ------------------------ Team Members ------------------------ eengelking - Developer peterbre - Bug Testing ------------------------ Operating Systems Tested ------------------------ Linux: -- Fedora 6 -- Fedora 8 -- Ubuntu 7.04 -- Ubuntu 7.10 Mac OS -- 10.4 (Tiger) ------------------------ General Information ------------------------ If you want a specific item to be considered for addition to the script, please visit the Forum page at Sourceforge and leave a note. http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=207347 ------------------------ New Features ------------------------ -- Presets and Manual options. This feature has replaced the "Quick Start" and "Advanced Features" mode. The presets were taken directly from the presets given in the Mac OS version of HandBrake. The preset options are: -- iPod (High Res) -- iPod (Low Res) -- iPhone/iTouch -- AppleTV -- Television -- Console (PS3, 360) -- PSP Selecting the "Manual" option will allow you to chose from all available options. to encode your video. ---------- -- Added video quality settings. Now users who choose to use the "Manual" encoding option will have the ability to determine the video quality of the output file. The available selections are: -- Average Bitrate - Encode video based on bitrate. -- Target Size - Encode video based on final size of finished video file. -- Constant Quality - Set output to a variable output percentage. ---------- -- Added Two-Pass encoding and Turbo encoding. These features are for those who use the x264 encoding option. The CLI will ignore the Turbo option if it's selected for any encoder other than the x264. ---------- -- Added the ability for users to choose an audio samplerate for audio encoding. Default is set to 44.1 kHz, with the ability to choose other pre-determined rates as set by the HandBrakeCLI. ---------- -- Subtitles. The user now has the ability to add subtitles to the output video file. The available options are: -- Don't enable subtitles. -- Enable subtitles: automatic scan (finds short foreign/alien segments). -- Enable subtitles: manual selection (entire video will have subtitles). ---------- -- Script cleanup. The bottom of the script was a mess, so each option has been placed into it's own function and executed independanty. This makes adding additional features in the future simpler than it was in prioer versions of the script. Additionally updated the video frame rate function to make it less confusing. Removed the option for 5 fps and made 23.967 fps the default. ------------------------ Bug Fixes ------------------------ -- Fixed issue where width and height ratios that were not divisible by 16 would create a memory error with the HandBrakeCLI binary. The script automatically adjusts width and height variables up to a number that is divisible by 16. ---------- -- Fixed issue where creating the .hbencoder directory in the users's home folder took an exceptional amount of time to complete. It now finds and/or creates the directory much faster than before. ------------------------ To Do ------------------------ -- Option to enable video de-interlacing. -- Option to de-block encoded video. -- Option to detelecine encoded video. -- Option to choose the 64-bit mp4 option for very large video files. -- Option to enable advanced H264 options.

• hbencoder hbencoder_v1.5 file released: hbencoder_v1.5_12082007.tar.gz

  =========================================== Version 1.5 -- Released 12/08/2007 =========================================== ------------------------ Team Members ------------------------ eengelking - Developer peterbre - Bug Testing ------------------------ Operating Systems Tested ------------------------ Linux: -- Fedora 6 -- Fedora 8 -- Ubuntu 7.04 -- Ubuntu 7.10 Mac OS -- 10.4 (Tiger) ------------------------ General Information ------------------------ If you want a specific item to be considered for addition to the script, please visit the Forum page at Sourceforge and leave a note. http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=207347 ------------------------ New Features ------------------------ -- The script can now detect if the stored HandBrakeCLI binary location has been moved. The script will be put back into "locate" mode to find where the binary has been re-located to. ---------- -- Option to search the users's machine for all DVD-ROMs that contain a video DVD. Returns all of the search results found. Users can select the DVD-ROM that they wish to use. ---------- -- Saves used DVD-ROM locdations to a configuration file for future use. Users can chose to use the same location or search the machine again for machines with multiple DVD-ROMs. ---------- -- Creates the /home/<username>/.hbencoder directory, which all configuration files are stored. This allows for different users to have different preferences and keeps configuration files independant of the hbencoder script. ---------- -- Added additional error checking in different sections of the script to reduce errors. ---------- -- Notification of script starting which shows the version being used. This is used to compensate for the time required to check for the .hbencoder directory and if necessary, create it. ---------- -- Broke out DVD dump portion to it's own function. ---------- -- Added error and failure checking on the DVD dump to ensure good data is read from the DVD before continuing with the script. ------------------------ Bug Fixes ------------------------ -- Fixed issue where script would go into a loop on the width and height section if a necessary variable couldn't be read from the dvd output. Now exits with an error. ---------- -- Fixed issue where user couldn't select "Manual Entry" option when re-scanning the machine for the HandBrakeCLI binary. ---------- -- Fixed issue where users couldn't enter anything under 1000 for video bitrate. Users can now enter values from 100-9999 in this area. ---------- -- Fixed issue where text output didn't match the rest of the script in certain areas. Updated to resemble the rest of the script output. ------------------------ To Do ------------------------ -- Option to set the subtitle of the DVD to encode to video. -- Option to enable short foreign language subtitles. -- Option to set subtitles with a specific language. -- Option to enable video de-interlacing. -- Option to set the audio sample rate. -- Option to set the quality of the video. -- Option to set the target size of the video file to be encoded. -- Option to de-block encoded video. -- Option to detelecine encoded video. -- Option to choose the 64-bit mp4 option for very large video files. -- Option to eanble advanced H264 options. -- Option to set maximum width and height of the video file. -- Option to set cropping settings instead of the default option. -- Option to set the CPU instead of using autodetection. -- Option to select the longest title.

• hbencoder hbencoder_v1.4 file released: hbencoder_v1.4c_11302007.tar.gz

  =========================================== Version 1.4c -- Released November 30, 2007 =========================================== General Information Another feature release. I'm working on adding portions to the project as I can, but work has been keeping me very busy. I'm using my free time on the weekends to add additional features to the script. If you want a specific item to be considered first, please visit the Forum page at Sourceforge and leave a note. http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=207347 ------------ New Features ------------ -- The script searches the computer for the HandBrakeCLI binary. Once it has been found, the script executes the binary from that location. The script also reports the version of the binaries that have been discovered. Once the binary has been discovered, the location is written to a configuration file where the application will pull from for future uses. ** NOTE: If the HandBrakeCLI binary application name has been changed, the search feature will not work properly. If the binary's name is changed to something different than the default, you must enter the location of the binary using the manual entry option. ---------- -- Cleaned up the script so that functions have their own section and are executed from another area in the script. This was done to enable the `Quick Start` or `Advanced Features` mode. ---------- -- Ability to choose the `Quick Start` option, which uses all generic options by default. If `Quick Start` is not selected, the `Advanced Features` mode is enabled. ---------- -- Added comments throughout the script to help others who are trying to understand how it works. It should be fairly explained at this point. If not, drop a note at the Sourceforge forum with questions and/or comments. ---------- Bug Fixes ---------- -- Fixed an issue where the input device was hard coded when trying to read from the DVD-ROM to perform the necessary data dump to proceed with the script. The input device for the data dump is now dynamic, based on the input entered by the user. ** Note: This is a critical bug fix and has affected all earlier versions of the script. As a result, only users who were running Ubuntu Linux with a single CD/DVD-ROM would have been unaffected. Users of other distributions should now be able to use the script with success. If not, please visit the SourceForge site to submit a bug. ---------- -- Fixed an issue where users who have over 9 versions of the HandBrakeCLI on their machine can enter in the proper selection (limited to 999 possible entries). ** Note: This is fix number two of the SAME problem. Terribly sorry. :( ---------- To Do ---------- -- NEW -- Validate if the disc in the DVD-ROM is a true DVD. -- NEW -- Remember users DVD-ROM location. -- NEW -- Save configuration data to /home/<username>/.hbencoder directory. -- Option to set the subtitle of the DVD to encode to video. -- Option to enable short foreign language subtitles. -- Option to set subtitles with a specific language. -- Option to enable video de-interlacing. -- Option to set the audio sample rate. -- Option to set the quality of the video. -- Option to set the target size of the video file to be encoded. -- Option to de-block encoded video. -- Option to detelecine encoded video. -- Option to choose the 64-bit mp4 option for very large video files. -- Option to eanble advanced H264 options. -- Option to set maximum width and height of the video file. -- Option to set cropping settings instead of the default option. -- Option to set the CPU instead of using auto detection. -- Option to select the longest title.
