    Handbrake 0.9.4 available


    Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.4:

    Core:

    New build system, allowing 64-bit binaries (around 10% faster)
    Soft subtitles and Closed Captions:
    DVD Closed Captions
    ATSC Closed Captions
    SRT subtitle import
    Text soft subtitles in MP4 and MKV output
    Bitmap soft subtitles in MKV output
    Better support for DVD inputs:
    Uses libdvdnav
    DVD angles support
    Workaround for libdvdread malloc bomb on invalid PGC entry
    DVD drive region detection support in Linux
    Handles DVD programs with more than 16 streams
    No longer tries to detect and discard duplicate titles when scanning
    Libdvdnav patched to perform read error recovery
    Libdvdread patched to allow raw device access in Windows
    Handles poorly mastered DVDs that had the menus ripped out of them
    Better support for non-DVD inputs:
    Preserves MP4 metadata
    TrueHD
    DTS-HD demuxing
    8 bit audio
    Better handling of transport streams where audio starts first
    Better handling of transport streams that have been spliced together, leading to duplicate timestamps
    Better VC-1 frame detection
    Fixes bug that was causing one sec. of audio to be dropped on many ffmpeg files
    Looks harder for aspect ratio info from DV sources
    No longer truncates the last (dummy) chapter

    Better AV sync
    Support for sources with no audio
    DTS passthrough for MKV
    x264 bumped from r1169 to r1347, which means speed optimizations, new default settings (see r2742 commit comment), the magic of macroblock tree rate control (mbtree), a new CRF curve (meaning you will get different, generally lower bitrates at the same RF, with similar quality metrics), and weighted P-Frames (disabled by default for Baseline encodes and the AppleTV preset).
    Better sample interleaving
    Better, optional deinterlacer for decomb (EEDI2)
    New mode structure for the decomb filter
    Variable verbose logging levels
    Fixed timing for first two frames coming out of filters
    Libtheora bumped to 1.1.0
    Improvements to our theora implementation (2 pass encoding + soft target rate control)
    Caters to Theora's insistence on content having mod16 framing dimensions specified
    Flushes LAME encoder's final packets
    Fixed interjob framerate calculation
    Fixed pthreads regression in cygwin

    Use libdvdnav by default on DVD sources
    Removed Constant QP encoding option for x264 (use CRF)
    Various bug fixes and UI tweaks
    x264 turbo 1st pass mode now uses subme=2 not subme=1

    Growl for Windows notification support

    Preferred language control for audio dubs and subtitles
    Fixed file extensions resetting to m4v when enabling chapter markers in mkv
    Faster updating of GUI elements from CLI data
    Cleanup / Improved some of the programs options. (Growl, use m4v, drive detection)
    Numerous fixes in the Picture Settings Panel and CLI Query Handling code.
    Bug Fixes and Usability improvements.

    Inhibits sleep mode while encoding
    Single title scan
    Chapter duration display
    Notifications when encodes complete

    Preference for what to do when encode completes
    Preference for how often to delete activity logs
    Preference to disable automatic scanning
    New Gnome session manager support
    Improved "auto" audio selection
    Use .m4v as the default extension for the MPEG-4 container
    Use .m4v when soft subs are enabled
    Alternate angle encoding fix
    Only strips drive letters for Windows builds
    Show correct audio format info when it's been sanitized for incompatibilities
    Preserve chapter list modifications made to queued jobs
    Fixed error when navigating chapter titles with the keyboard
    Bug Fixes.


    CLI:

    Options to handle new subtitle, anamorphic, and preview features
