A new version (1.0.9) of Schroedinger is released.

It encorporates many new features, bugfixes and general improvements.

It also removes liboil dependency, uses Orc: http://code.entropywave.com/projects/orc/

Announcement: http://diracvideo.org/2010/03/schroedin ... -released/

New features (copy-pasted from announcement):
New in 1.0.9

* Orc: Complete conversion to Orc and removal of liboil dependency.
* Added a lot of orc code to make things faster. A lot faster.
* New motion vector generation, enabled by default.
* New CBR rate control, enabled by default.
* New scene change detection, enabled by default.
* Encoder went through several rounds of tuning, improving quality greatly.
* New encoder setting “force-profile”. Allows easy access to one of three VC-2 profiles (vc2_low_delay, vc2_simple, vc2_main) for intermediate coding. Default is same as before: long-GOP Dirac.
* Improved lossless encoding. Works in concert with force-profile.


Please update the Schroedinger-library used in vlc.
It has a lot of improvements that are really useful for enhancing vlc.
It is very important for Dirac:

The Dirac project maintains two encoder implementations: dirac-research, a research encoder, and Schrödinger, which is meant for user applications. As of this release, Schrödinger outperforms dirac-research in most encoding situations, both in terms of encoding speed and visual quality.

(The following is a request, not a command or bashing-around.)
Please do this as quick as possible because Dirac in general has a lot of potential because it's based on wavelets.


Thanks for reading.

The schroedinger module in VLC doesn't encode, but just decodes...

So, before this to happen, someone would need to update our schroedinger module to encode.
