2008-04-17
 -  new patches:
    o asfhdr_use_best_stream.diff - selects best (highest bitrate) available

    truncation (AVI) in certain cases.
    o codecs_conf_custom.diff - combines local codecs.conf changes to one patch
    o demux_lavf_add_dv_preferred.diff - improved DV file support
    o flv_02_r12184_LE_codec.diff - back port of PCM fix which correctly

    does not report it. addresses missing audio/video in clips of this nature.
    o mp3lib_increase_maxframesize.diff - improves success rate of clips
    containing MP3 streams (avi,mp3,etc.). previous versions failing
    w/Flix2_Errno(-2,2) or, w/mp3 files, no indication at all.
    o mencoder_07_asf_pts_passing.diff, mencoder_08_demux_update_pts.diff,
    demux_asf_use_avg_fps.diff - collectively these patches address sync issues
    w/certain ASF/WMV files by forwarding the decoded timestamps.
    o mencoder_09_joint_audio_video_eof.diff - holds encoding completion until
    both streams have finished. fixes clip truncation in certain cases.
    o mencoder_10_decoded_before_dups.diff - waits to discard leading duplicate
    frames until a successful decode occurs. addresses video streams reporting
    dimensions of 0x0 in certain cases.
	o mov_07_missing_stsd.diff - skip malformed stream descriptions allowing
    transcode to complete successfully w/MOV files of this type.
 - updated patches:

    w/mencoder_08_demux_update_pts.diff
2007-12-18
 - new patches:
   o codecs_ffwmav2_ffsvq3_buggy.diff - prefer wma dmo to avoid audio
     corruption (static,etc.) across transitions in asf/wmv files. evident
     w/clips made w/Windows Movie Maker among others.

     files.
