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.
