(MD5Sum: 47fd29c1b775f04614b9ae138fa755a2, Bytes: 27505)

new:
- added new flavor 'dvd' (requested by all of you :))
  - currently very basic (no menus, no chapters...)
  - please test and report :)
- input frame ratio can be set (suggested by K. Fitzner, R. Smits)
  - e.g. use '-x in_asr=[4,3]' to force 4:3 frame size
fixes:
- also support CDXA input (U. Meyer)
- deinterlace with -I 3 (T. Neumann)
- frame ranges are calculated correctly with fps conversion (J. Braeuer)

bug fixes:
- corrected call to vcdimager for VCD (reported by U. Malzahn, J. Braeuer)
- remove menu MPEGs (reported by I. Eure)
changes:
- adapted to new chaplin 1.10
- added new option in_frc to force the input frame rate (suggested by I. Eure)
  (set code here: e.g. 1=23.976 NTSC, 4=29.97 NTSC, 3=25.0 PAL)

Fixes:
- mpeg input now uses 'mp3' module for audio input (C. Worm, S. Stordal)
- tcmplex now uses -m 1 (C. Worm)
- use mpeg2enc mode 5 for also for standard svcd (otherwise no bitrate selection works) (K. Vermeer)
New:
- option 'sample_chapframe' allows to set frame number for chapter sample images (M. Bevand)
- automatic chapter menu creation for VCD/SVCD
  use option 'chap_menu' >0 (requires new chaplin 1.9!)
- basic subtitle support for burn-in DVD subs

SVCD/VCD: added vcd_conform/svcd_conform flag to toggle between standard=conform and user-defined settings
XSVCD/XVCD remarks & fixes by Christian Worm
SVCD: correctly sets pulldown flag for ntscfilm (reported by Stefan Tittel)
read local config from file with -X option (useful for VCD/SVCD profiles)
choose your MPEG multiplexer with 'mpeg_mplex' ('mplex'(default) and 'tcmplex' supported)
fix for audio input codec detection and WMA added (patch by Chris Teachworth)
add output codec options with -o <codec>/<options> (e.g. -o ffmpeg/mpeg4) (suggested by Brian Hall)
add generic transcode video/audio options with 'tc_vopt' and 'tc_aopt' (e.g. -x "tc_vopt='-G 0.8'") (suggested by Brian Hall)
added initial matroska support: flavor 'mkv' (requires matroska linux tools by Moritz Bunkus)

added workaround for LANG=...UTF8 on RH problem (was: "ERROR: requested audio track 0 is not available in input!")
input file names with spaces supported (reported by Ryan Lovett and Stefan Meinlschmidt)
disabled anamorph MPEG output by default (enable with -xanamorph=-1)
added VBR audio support (add v[qual], e.g. -a 0,128v4) (suggested by Carl Karsten)
added "sample_recycle": do not create sample crop images if they are already on disc. (suggested by Carl Karsten)
added MPEG input support (requested by Sven Carstens and Glen Harris)
needs new tool: mpglen (written by Glen Harris)
added parameters for flexible XVCD or XSVCD setup. (see options scvd_* and vcd_* in -x help) (idea by Christian Worm)

improved rule generation:
- added "clean" rules to remove all generated files
- added simple "rip-CD1" ... rules to generate a single CD
added option "low_space" to generate a makefile that removes all processed files and only keeps the result. for people with few space on harddisk (-x low_space=1)

added ogm output flavor (with ogg/mp3 sound) (needs ogmtools)
based on a patch by Dennis Frommknecht
added multi (i.e. more than two) audio channels for avi/ogm
based on a patch by Georg Fass
fixed SVCD/mplex split problem
avi input is handled with frame regions for multi CD output
(it's slow but works more reliable than the avisplit approach)
(you can enable the faster split mode with -x split_avi=1)
a probe only mode is available (ripmake -p1 <input>)
(needs no target flavor and is useful to query audio info)
basic filter support
(use -x afilter=.. or -x vfilter=.. to add audio/video filters)
(e.g. -x vfilter=-Jyuvdenoise)

added generic codecs for divx/non-divx avi (default: ffmpeg)
now all divx fourccs are recognized
added ~/.ripmakerc config file support (use same syntax as in -x option, one key per line: key = value)
fixed -x help output bug
added pseudo targets to rules (same as title of each rule)
fixed AVI audio input codec selection
added Dennis Frommknecht's contributions:
- interactive clipping with option -u 1 (needs 'display' of ImageMagick and X11)
- support for track language specification (-a de)

makefile output more flexible
selectable video AND audio codec for input and output
requires new chaplin 1.8 (and supports NTSC Film calculations)
rewritten sample image generation for DVD input (should work directly on a disc)
improved handling of external commands (more verbose reports on failure)

fixed vcdimager call for SVCD
fixed -k switch
two audio tracks are now supported correctly
a new hiqh quality flag for MPEG encoding (use -x high_quality=1)
generates anamorph picture for MPEG stream if input is suitable (disable with -x anamorph=0)
XviD is the default MPEG4 encoder

now supports rips directly from DVD by specifying the mount point (but I do not encourage that!)
use modulo for clipped frame (pgmfindclip options -f and -b)

now adds framerate in transcode calls (-f)
always pass -x input codec to transcode in sample image generation
added new option -f to force an input codec
added strict framerate checks to avoid async rips caused by bogus input framerate
