New version 0.2.1 released
23. Oct 2005
With the new version 0.2.1 of av_convert the naming scheme is changed to x.y.z version numbers, indicating that the underlying API of libVideoFile becomes more stable. The major change in this version is the new MPEG encoder plugin which uses the mpeg2enc encoder as a backend. Both Mpeg-1 and Mpeg-2 encoding is possible (use "... -V Mpeg-1 ..." or "... -V Mpeg-2 ..." as the video codec selector, respectively). Some bugs were fixed in other parts like the decoding of XVID video, which was broken in the last version, and timestamp handling in Mpeg files.
