TivoTool 0.4.9 Released
The announcement on the 12th was a big deal for the future of entertainment. The lines of consumer freedom are being redrawn - again. I truly strive to change this balance by making it easy to work with the content you have already paid for. With that, I proudly present the new version of TivoTool.


What's New
-----

0.4.9
----
- Quicktime/iTunes compatible MP4 files are now output in iTunes mode (instead of MPEG2 like we used to do it). This means you _don't_ need the Quicktime MPEG2 component and you _don't_ need Quicktime Pro to create iTunes compatible MP4 files. As always, multiple files can be selected for batch jobs overnight. Quality control and more is coming.
- DVD Burning code rewritten to allow for transcoding of audio (fixes UK Tivos).
- Streaming cache more aggressively filled, should see less skipping. With a large cache and a fast enough network, commercial skipping is now viable (use the right arrow key).
- Demuxing engine changed from vsplit to hdemux. Remux is now done with mplex and (audio) transcoding with ffmpeg.
- Fixed end of .wav files being cut off.
- Two pass avi encoding problem fixed.
- iTunes mode now a button instead of a preference.
- Will check if vserver is running before any processing.
- Continued code cleanups and organization to make future features easier to add.
- No longer complains about stream_transcode and stream_deint in console.log
- Log size is checked, and deleted if >300k.
- Log entries are now time-stamped as well.
- New version of mencoder backend.
- Remember window position, column width and size between sessions.
- Audio encoding to MP3 in AVIs for better compatibility.
- Check if vserver is up every 60 seconds
- Dialogs should be a bit more responsive, with less beachballing all around.
- Cache size now only up to your available free ram (to avoid disk thrashing).
- Feedback when dvdauthor and mkisofs run

Stay Tuned...
Quiet means busy in this case. It's been a while since the last update, but don't fear, TivoTool 0.5 is coming soon.
