Video Transcoding v0.11.0 Release Notes

  • Thursday, September 15, 2016

    • 🔄 Change the behavior of detect-crop and the --crop detect function of transcode-video to no longer constrain the crop by default. Add a --constrain option to detect-crop and a --constrain-crop option to transcode-video to restore the old behavior. Also, deprecate the --no-constrain option of detect-crop and the --no-constrain-crop option of transcode-video since both are no longer necessary. Via #81.
    • ⚡️ Update the "README" document to:
      • Revise multiple sections about the changes to cropping behavior.
      • Revise the description of the --small option in multiple sections.
      • Revise how I use transcode-video in the "FAQ" section.
    • ➕ Add support for the comb-detect, hqdn3d and pad filters to transcode-video.
    • 🛠 Fix a bug in transcode-video where the --filter option failed when nlmeans-tune was used as a argument. This was due to a regular expression only allowing lowercase alpha characters and not hyphens.
    • ⚡️ Update the default AC-3 audio and pass-through bitrates in the --help output of transcode-video to 640 Kbps, matching the behavior of the code since version 0.5.0.
