GUI "funnies"
Posted: 13 Sep 2004 00:45
Hi,
Just updated to 0.7.2 from 0.6.2 to play an old VCD I had hangin around (long story!)
Obvious GUI features of note (in the first five minutes!):
1. Track navigation doesn't work
2. Next/Last titile does (but seems to introduce a high-pitched whine in the audio
)
3. Track navigation from the menu bar always flicks the screen size back to some default, selects track 1, and disables the audio
4. Ah, yes - the disabling of the audio; did someone go out of their way to do that one?
A media player that doesn't play media by default?
5. Oh. And, erm, "eject" isn't the same as "open".. just ask a pilot
On the plus side - don't know if it's me, but the Codec seems to be a lot more stable. Still doesn't understand dual monitors, but, heck, there's still an awful lot of commercial software that's working its way up to Windows 98
On the minus side.. I gather that it's a lot more difficult that I thought getting the timebase consistent? If you're feeling down, just play Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush - the soundtrack wobble cracks me up every time..
