Version history SmallDVD for Mac OS X (PPC)

<<Back

Changes from v2.0 beta 3 -> v2.0

• fixed the occasional Applescript errors
• changed the default background image to something a bit blacker

Changes from v1.0 -> v2.0 beta 3

• added control over the conversion bitrate for non-MPEG2 input files
• overhauled user interface, which merges the video file selection and template editor windows
• Known problems:
• Currently, only three conversion rates are available, “Good”, “Better” and “Best”. In the future I will add more, and allow custom settings. “Good” and “Better” fit about 130 minutes onto a 4.3Gb DVD, “Best” fits about 95 minutes. “Good” is does a single pass conversion, “Better” and “Best” do two-pass conversion which is slower, but higher quality.
• When selecting “New” or “Load” from the file menu, there’s an error displayed. You can just ignore this, it doesn’t do any harm.

Changes from v2.01 -> v2.0 Beta 2

• The main new feature in this release is the ability to set custom video and audio conversion bitrates. There are also one or two minor bug fixes.

Changes from v1.0 -> v2.01

• Control over the conversion bitrate for non-MPEG2 input files
• Overhauled user interface, which merges the video file selection and template editor windows

Changes from v0.8 (PPC) -> v1.0

Changes from v0.5 -> v0.6

• Fixed problem where menus buttons were positioned wrongly when using a 16:9 menu on a DVD player configured 4:3 mode.
• Upgraded to dvdauthor 0.6.12alpha (to enable the button positioning fix

Changes from v0.7 -> v0.8 (Intel)

• changed the remultiplexing utility to use ffmpeg. This also enables the input video to be converted to an appropriate format if necessary. See file formats for more details.
• changed the batch processor to use Growl notifications to deliver status messages. If Growl is installed, it will display a notification for the start and finish of each DVD being created. If you haven't got Growl installed, you won't see any messages.
• major code restructure, which you can't see, but was definitely necessary!

Changes from v0.6 -> v0.7 (intel)

• adds ability to load and save DVD definitions (via the file menu)
• adds ability to save default template settings (via the file menu)
• includes simple batch processor for creating multiple DVD images in one go ("Using the batch processor" for more details)
• fix for bug which caused wrong fonts to be used in menus
