Set monitoraspect=4/3 to get the old behaviour (if you have non-square pixels). * libdvdcss updated to Subversion HEAD, now same as upstream version * libmpdvdkit split into libdvdread and libdvdcss * obsolete Xvid 3 support removed * long-deprecated -vop option removed * video stream switching * dvdnav:// honour -alang and -slang * support for doubleclick as input event * -really-quiet works fully now * select libavformat demuxer (-lavfdopts format=) * internal minilzo removed in favor of FFmpeg implementation, use liblzo2 for encoding * change GUI dependency from libpng to libavcodec -- Warpstock 2007 - Where? http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe - http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
