- Release Date: Jun 6, 2008
- Windows Vista compatible
Version 2.10
- Release Date: Aug 2, 2007
- Shutdown computer when job is done:
- added this option in Settings menu so it can be changed during encoding
- added a count-down dialog that allows the user to cancel within 30 seconds
- added a checkbox option to get a shutdown count-down silent or beeping
- Input settings dialog window:
- a little enlarged vertically for more readability and to add the new option
to get a silent or beeping shutdown count-down
- WMV encoding:
- added volume splitting feature (which wasn't done yet for WMV format)
- fixed encoding by chapter feature (each volume was limited to 5 seconds)
- added new widescreen profiles for Archos Generation 4- added more explicit error messages when begin writing the WMV output file
- AVI codec settings:
- fixed the 'wrong settings block for AVI video codec' warning message on DivX
2-pass encoding when using video tab codec parameters
- headers file added in AVI_LIB from Xvid 1.1.3 vfw module (config.h, xvid.h and vfwext.h)
- change output estimation for Xvid
- Multilanguages:
- added some menu items in language files: Preview aspect, 4/3, 16/9, Free,
Shutdown when finished
- modified RefreshLanguage() method of main window (CMpeg_encodeDlg)
Version 2.9
- Release Date: May 17, 2007
- Improved AVI (DivX/Xvid) multipass GUI behavior:
- now Estimated size is also available for AVI (DivX and Xvid only) and is accurate,
if multipass is set: the DivX 2nd pass bitrate or the Xvid desired size is used.
- if audio is Lame, audio bitrate is correctly taken into account to compute the
Estimated size.
- now correctly set 1st and 2nd pass with appropriate settings display (formerly
settings where stored and used correctly but display was messed up).
- when checking/unchecking Enable 2nd pass button, the codec dialog window is opened
once for one-pass and twice for 2-pass encoding (with message helpers displayed).
- ensure DivX or Xvid is selected for multipass (so avoid setting multipass for
codecs which don't support multipass encoding).
- Compilation:
- update compilation platformwith DirectX SDK February 2007 and WMSDK11 which provides
Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile codec compliant with the published SMPTE VC-1
standard and Windows Media Audio 10 Professional codec quality improved at lower bit rates.
- hack shobjidl.h in Platform SDK R2 to skip SHCOLSTATE, SHCOLUMNID and LPCSHCOLUMNID
on __shtypes_h__ definition (newer definitions in WMSDK11), it's required to compile
ProfileObject.cpp successfully.
Version 2.8
Version 2.7
- Release Date: Jan 27, 2007
- Third-party DLLs:
- nLame.dll 3.97 Final (Intel 9.1 compile)
- libmmd.dll 9.1 (Intel 9.1 compile)
- GUI enhancements:
- Changed Open DVD root menu behavior, now display a Windows XP new syle
file explorer dialog, initiliazed with last directory used by DVDx. Thus
no longer annoying to change DVD drive for multiple drive computers or
multiple DVDx ripped on hard drive.
- Now display MPEG (VOB) file name without path in the MPEG2 file scanning
progress window (required for long path current for DVDs ripped on hard drive).
- Packaging:
- For some obscur reasons, my new compilation configuration failed to
link Debug and DebugP4 object files because of their debugging data ;
so Debug and DebugP4 binaries bundled with 2.7 Ultra Edition are 2.6 builds.
Version 2.6
- Release Date: Dec 4, 2006
- Packaging:
- Ultra Edition now contains a Tools menu with all DVDx binaries (Debug,
DebugP4, NoOptimization and RipperFree), so any user will able to run a
debug version to tackle bugs.
- Ripper Free package has no change.
- "No upgrade" package is deprecated.
- Bug fix:
- DVDx silently crashes when exiting Input Settings with 44.1KHz or 48.0KHz
(no conversion) option. So now you can try these modes to workaround
audio/video synchronization issues.
- Debug builds:
- thanks to the new compilation platform, both Debug and DebugP4 configurations
can be built.
- Compilation:
- update compilation platform to Visual Studio 2005 Professional (VS8) and
Intel C++ Compiler 9.1
- new reference compilation platform is Visual C++ 2005 Pro with Microsoft
Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2, DirectX SDK October 2006,
Intel C++ 9.1.28
- Visual C++ Projects have been converted to Intel C++ Projects
- all configurations compile successfuly (including Debug and DebugP4)
- added a new open source project: BuildNumber to manage build auto-increment
- removed VC6 build auto-increment macro
Version 2.5.1
- Release Date: May 6, 2006
- This is a patch release to fix the nLame DLL issues of the 2.5 release.
- added libmdd.dll, version 8.1.8.2 from www.rarewares.org, the Intel
- Math library required for the nLame DLL
- changed the nLame.dll to the 3.97 beta 2, Dec 17 2005 from Rarewares
Version 2.5
- Release Date: Apr 24, 2006
- Improved DVD Native IO Access:
- Use SPTI for native IO access. Deprecating ASPI.
- Added more compatibility and smoother DVD initialization.
- Improved DVD Decoding:
- Realtime dynamic framerate detection.
- Adaptive framerate support.
- Better NTSC DVD unregular telecine support.
- Better audio, video synchronization algorithm. The above improvement will solve many a/v out-of-sync problem repeated reported by users since the version 1.0 release. 3. More Output Format Supported:
- Added support for WMA 9.1 and WMV9. Compress videos up to 50% smaller than previous versions under the same video quality.
- Added more options for mp3. 4. GUI:
- Added WMV combo and configuration panel in Output Settings dialog.
- Automatically switch off ASPI and use SPTI on Windows NT/2000/XP 5. Language files:

- Performance:
- Release executable is optimized for Intel Pentium 4, Intel Pentium M, new Intel
Pentium 4 with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) and compatible Intel processors
(new AMD Athlon 64 support SSE3)
- Internal encoders not changed, but now compiled by new Intel 9.0 compiler for the
official binary release, likely more reliable and faster (DVDx 2.4 is faster than
DVDx 2.3: VCD +15%, SVCD +10%, DivX +5% on SSE3 processors and VCD +12%, SVCD +5%,
DivX +5% on SSE2 processors)
- GUI:
- Changed File menu and added ? (help) menu in respect with usual Windows GUI
standards and to add support and web site links

- Added some (english) items in all languages to be translated now or later
- CVS:
- Removed/Re-Added RES files with proper binary type to fix icons/bitmaps
corrupted in Source-Forge CVS repository
- Corrected all CRLF issues in text files
- Code:
- Corrected some bad afx_msg declarations (LRESULT instead of wrong 'void')
which were reported by new VC8 compiler (return 0 for LRESULT as usual)
- Added mpeg_encode.h as include for other VC projects in the VC worksapce
to handle errors (errors.h) and for P4.h, malloc_16.h, Memory.h, resource.h
- Changed some loop index variable declarations to fix variable scope errors
reported by new VC8 compiler in some "for ()" statements
- Added pragmas to disable some warnings in new VC8 compiler
- Changed syntax sqrt(2) to sqrt(2.0) to force float casting in overloaded
functions required by VC8 compiler
- Changed coder info (jlp_38@yahoo.com) into contact info (jim@labdv.com)
- Installer:
- Added new Inno ISS script to create an installer for "no upgrade" versions
which are installed in their own folder (to run several versions for benchmaking)
however the separate versions share the same DVDx registry key to store settings
(now requiring to activate Inno ISS scripting)
- Compilation:
- Update compilation platform to VC Toolkit 2003 and DX9
- New reference compilation platform is Visual C++ 6.0 Pro with Service Pack 5,
Visual C++ Processor Pack 5, DirectX SDK February 2006, VC Toolkit 2003,
Intel C++ 9.0.28 (required for debug with DirectX 9)
