This version adds two major feature enhancements.
This first is allowing filenames to increment by
N, rather than 1 (e.g., frame00.bmp, frame05.bmp,
...). The second enhancement is rescaling the
input images to a user-specified size while
creating the movie.
This release has two major feature enhancements: support for noninteger frame rates (e.g. NTSC 29.97) and (temporal) smoothing via interpolation of adjacent frames. In addition, there is experimental support for temporal smoothing by interleaving adjacent frames, rather than interpolating them. This option should run faster.
This version is compatible with EasyBMP version 1.02 or greater. Upgrading to this version should ensure faster read performance of the input BMP files and compatibility with 64-bit architectures. Compatibility with earlier versions of EasyBMP is attained by means of macros.
This release adds support for big-endian
architectures such as PowerPC and Sun Sparc. The
release also focuses on code cleanup, particularly
in writing the file header structures to the
output AVI file. Some new file I/O functions were
added for future disk access performance
enhancements. Lastly, better error checking was
added to detect situations where the output file
could not be opened or the estimated file size is
greater than 2GB.
This release focuses on bugfixes and the performance of the output AVI movie. In particular, the buffer size and other internal structures have been fixed and tweaked to improve compatibility and playback performance. A help function was added for the -help flag. A new option, -copyright, has been added to set the copyright bit in the output if desired.
