[vdr] Announcement: vdr2divx 1.6.0 pre4

[ma.hoff@t-online.de (Martin Hoffmann)]

Now it finally happened - just another release from the 1.6.x series - which i 
promised dead long ago - however since i got stuck with the 2.x version i 
decided to do some quick public release to be compatible with the 
developement of mencoder and pvastrumento !

So what has changed ?

Changes between pre1 (last public release) and pre4:
- Adapted to mplayer/mencoder of todays cvs (20.05.2003) - also read 
workaround below...
- Tested with PVAstruemnto 2.0.30 (also tested with 2.0.23a)
- Implemented "UsePVAs auto" Parameter - allowing to generally use PVAstruemto 
for syncing, except for streams containing AC3
- Made PVAstrumento handle multiple input files (001.vdr, 002.vdr, ...)
- Used PVAstrumento to create PS - no extra muxer (mplex) needed anymore
- New Feature: ShortLog - definable Script to log Short messages i.e. Encoding 
of file XY done. - intended to be displayed on VDR's OSD - that's why short!
- New Feature: CopySummary - if present the summary.vdr from the original 
recording can be kept with the new avi (output name *.txt)
- Now Creating Temp Directory if it does not exist - Thanks to anyone 
mentioning this one (sorry, i lost my mails and you name :-/ )
- Experimental - Prechecking Stream for errors and reporting them to ShortLog
- Added correct Autosyncing / PVAstruemnto syncing to mencoder commandline 
(-mc 0/1)
- Workaround: Added -cache option to mencoder call, to bypass problems with 
streaming via pipe into mencoder with certain streams (at least 32MB seem to 
work fine - everyone who ever had problems with VDR recordings not recognized 
should check this out - maybe try "Cache 65536" if you have enough mem) - 
Special thanks to Christian Kuhn helping with this one !
- Set mpeg12 Decoder for mencoder as default - should even make workaround 
mentioned above more efficient.

You can (as always) get it from 
http://ma.hoff.bei.t-online.de/2divx_wip/2divx160pre4.tar.gz

Now have fun ...

Note:
This is a rather fresh release - i did only some quick tests - at least on the 
pre3/4 changes ... So for stable use stay at the 1.6.0pre1 ;-)

Martin.
