- Some fixes and improvements
Version 1.8.1.5 beta
- Release Date: Sep 28, 2008
- New: Rewritten hardware detection - again. This is a tricky piece of code, and I hope it'll work now on all machines.
- New: Added two new parameters for the RunEvent.vbs script - source width and source height. These values are set to 0, if the source dimension is unknown.
- New: Added keywords CINEMA(2x), NTSC(2x) and PAL(2x) for 48, 60 and 50fps sources
- New: PAL SpeedDown in media adaptation properties will convert PAL(2x) sources to CINEMA(2x) (50fps to 48fps)
- New: Built-in estimator is now working under Windows 98SE. Still supporting Windows 98 sounds crazy, but if you have an old PC you want to use as a DVD player without PAL chipmunk voices... :-)
- New: Added PowerDVD 6 support (for those people who want to use Windows 98 as a DVD player)
Version 1.8.1.4 beta
- Release Date: Sep 27, 2008
- New: Rewritten hardware detection, should work much better, faster and more reliable
- New: Added support for Arcsoft TMT MCE add on
- Change: Removed display resolution database, didn't work out the way it should
- Fix: ReClock's clock generator didn't work correctly under Windows Vista and with modern graphic cards
- Some fixes and improvements
Version 1.8.1.3 beta
- Release Date: Sep 26, 2008
- New: Added "Use AC3 encoder" checkbox. The old way to select it (as PCM output method) was confusing, and ReClock didn't know which interface to use, if AC3 encoder had to be bypassed.
- New: Added option to AC3 encoder only to encode multi channel sources
- New: Added display resolution database, which can dramatically speed up the playback start, especially with ATI cards. This is a temporary solution until I figure out something better.
- Change: removed "accept old multichannel formats" checkbox. I consider these formats obsolete. May they rest in peace. ReClock will always reject them.
- Fix: passing the file name to the RunEvent.vbs script didn't work, if the path contained spaces
- Fix: Severe problem introduced with 1.8.1.2 which made the system default renderers unusable
- Various fixes and improvements
Version 1.8.1.2 beta
- Release Date: Sep 24, 2008
- New: Support for Blu-ray playback with ArcSoft TMT
- New: Added hotkey to show the properties window (default is CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R)
- New: Hotkeys can be modified (currently via regedit only, sorry)
- New: Config tool doesn't need to run under admin account
- New: Added option to accept SPDIF as input (disabled by default). This is important, because Windows Media player under Vista will always try to use SPDIF if possible, which isn't quite the right way when using ReClock.
- Change: Removed obsolete option to make ReClock the default renderer
- Change: uses proper OS function to register the hotkeys to avoid conflicts. As a side effect, this could cause slightly improved playback
- Change: logfile location will be the user's desktop
- Fix: Sync problems when using the real time AC3 encoder. Fixes startup problems with PowerDVD and TMT. Works fine now! :-)
- Fix: Access rights for registry keys weren't set correctly (Windows Vista)
- Various fixes and improvements
Version 1.8.1.1 beta
- Release Date: Sep 22, 2008
- New (experimental): Added real time AC3 encoding. Only bitrates of 48kHz and up to 6 channel input is supported. Doesn't seem to work well with PowerDVD.
- New: Frame rates detected by the estimators can now be adjusted manually
- Support for ~120fps anime with built-in estimator
- Some minor fixes and improvements
Version 1.8.1.0 beta
- Release Date: Sep 18, 2008
- New: Remember setting of "PAL Speeddown" setting in sound adaption properties
- Change: Using DirectDraw instead of Direct 3D as the default hardware access method
- Fix: Possible deadlock, if RunEvent script exited with 0 (display mode changed)
Version 1.8.0.9 beta
- Release Date: Sep 16, 2008
- New: Updated resampler
- Fix: PAL Speeddown didn't work properly
- Fix: TheaterTek didn't work

Version 1.8.0.8 beta
- Release Date: Sep 14, 2008
- Fix: Sound distortion with DirectSound output at high sample rates
- Minor fixes and improvements
Version 1.7b1
- Release Date: Jan 10, 2006
Version 1.4
- Release Date: Apr 29, 2004
- improved multi-head display support. If Windows is configured to make use of more than one monitor, reclock will automatically identify on which monitor the playback window is open, and will correct the clock of the video card attached to this monitor. As it is no longer necessary to select an adapter in configuration app this setting have been removed
- experimental support for time stretching (alteration of audio track speed without pitch modification). This support requires WinDVD 5 to be installed, because ReClock will make use of a WinDVD DMO filter to achieve this. Now you can alter playback speed of a movie without hearing a pitch change! There is also an option to correct the pitch of PAL DVD in order to counteract the "PAL speedup" problem. See config app and properties panel for settings
- improved VBS notification with new events (STOP and QUIT) and multi-monitor support. See RunEvent.sample.vbs to modify your script accordingly
- you can now specify by which percentage ReClock is allowed to slowdown or speedup the played media. Defaults are 1% slowdown, 5% speedup
- when ReClock can not find a good media adaptation because refresh rates do not match, it can now be allowed to try other values that will improve playback anyway. The general rule is that if refresh rate x2 or x3 is compatible with the frame rate, then we modify playback speed to better match frame rate (for example play 23,976fps on 60hz at 24 fps which is 60/2.5). Vsync correction will also be enabled and functionnal, but instead of operating on each frame it will operate on each frame out of 2 or 3
- when builtin framerate and DirectShow framerate estimation do not give the same result, ReClock will now use the result of builtin estimation which is always accurate
- you can now prevent ReClock from loading with some players/applications. See advanced settings in config app
- you can now force ReClock to be loaded in PowerDVD 5 (not tested with PowerDVD 4). See config app
- fixed bugs in the event notification that could cause reclock to not take in account settings put by powerstrip, thus corrupting the timings database. See RunEvent.sample.vbs to modify your script accordingly
- improved compatibility with video cards. In case ReClock is not compatible with your card, it will not lock up anymore, but will notify you with an error message inviting you to update drivers or uninstall ReClock
- improved NTSC DVD framerate detection (reclock was hesitating sometimes between 23.976 and 29.970 fps during high CPU load or chapter change)
- improved startup time (faster video hardware calibration)
- improved video hardware clock tracking
- improved option "Give high CPU priority to player" (will improve Vsync stability)
- ReClock will now produce more detailed information in c:\reclock_log.txt in case of a crash. This will help me to investigate problems
- fixed a display corruption problem that could happen when using "Show Vsync"
- fixed issues with WMP9
- fixed flickering tray icon problem when opening Matroska media files
- fixed problems with vsync correction that could get confused by subtitles and closed captions
- fixed a freeze introduced in 1.3 that could occur at startup
- fixed a problem in DirectSound handling
- fixed a rare problem where tray icon would not show and player would not quit properly
- fixed a rare crash on player exit (would show with Media Player Classic sometimes)
- added a workaround for a bug in M-audio soundcards drivers that stopped playback after 2800 seconds
- fixed an error in a formula given in the paragraph "How to optimize SPDIF output" of the readme (thanks to Mars1 !)
vrevamped the configuration application to occupy less space on screen (useful when in TV mode)
- updated the NSIS installer for smaller setup size and setup corruption checkup
- DirectX 9 is now required to run ReClock
