martbhell used our news submit to tell us
about this latest rendition of a favorite freeware app for CD Freaks
readers:
 Changes:
- Mpeg video decoder: implemented
frame-dropping (b-frames only) when running late and added a new sse2
idct (intel's code, AP-945), now high-definition clips should keep the
sync at least 🙂
- Mpeg splitter: plays discontinuous/joint
files to the end but seeking still broken with those, also recognizes
aac streams and misdetects others as lpcm less frequently
- New aac decoder based on libfaad, coreaac
didn't handle mpeg's aac very well for some reason (he-aac, stereo
downmixing supported)
- Volume normalizer can be "boosted" a bit
in case you find the level still low, look for the slider next to the
normalize checkbox
- Added a /nofocus command line switch.
Guess what it does! Through the web interface browse.html also accepts a
focus=no GET parameter with the same effect
- More fine tuning of the internal
splitters' packet buffering.
- Fixed the "higher than normal" priority
option, it was not applied after reopening the player.
- New option to launch files in fullscreen
(checkbox at options/player)
- 7th internal logo by Steve Smith (looks
very nice), if you made any in the past contact me again and I'll add
your name to the logo chooser page, next to your logo. For now with the
exception of the new one, only an "Author unknown" text will be
displayed there because I can't remember which one came from who
- Fixed the file browser not displaying
anything on cd drives under xp, when the recording feature of the
operating system is enabled
- Almost 200KB increase in file size! No,
it's not (just) the logo (~50k compressed), but libfaad was also huge 🙂
- For those who can recompile the sources:
running filters.bat is no longer needed. After adding the lib of the new
aac decoder onto the list VC couldn't link it anymore (it crashed...),
so I had to add each lib separately to the additional dependecies of mpc
to overcome this problem.
