Major Architect Changes in VLC 0.9.x ??

[vibes992000]

I have been hearing from the VLC Developer Teams that they have done some terrific Architectural upgradations in VLC Core Programming and Designing for 0.9.x which will make the upcoming versions of VLC more Feature Rich along with Robustness.

Can Anyone list those features or atleast give me link?

I'm looking for the explanation for the following changes under the Windows(XP/2K) Environment :

• ENCODING Point of View? If I encode live transmission into H.264, or WMV3 or WMV2 at the same target bit rate (both audio and video) in this version will it be better than I do similar in 0.86i?
• Directx Implementations - Any Directshow Optimization which might boost performance or display quality? Surprisingly features like post prossesing sometimes deteriotes the quality rather than increasing (hoping it won't happen in this version)
• VLM Changes - Why the syntax changed?
• New ActiveX - Earlier Javascript Calls (from webpage not working)? Why?
• Why not support for WMV3 (Windows Media Codec 9) in the Wizards? Licensing Issues??

Thanks in advance

0.9 is less stable than 0.8 for streaming but:

- Quality should be better for WMV2/WMV3 decoding
- Post processing is deactivated in 0.9 and will be back in 1.0
- Because too many issues were there
- ActiveX has been improved to do more advanced and standard stuffs. However, many changes are bug due to internal playlist rewrite.
- Yes/Forgotten to do so.
