Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert Changelog

What's new in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.97

Jan 11, 2012
  • Adjustments to detecting libtranslate. Also fixed a bug that, when converting multiple multimedia files, destination folder is asked for in each loop.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.94 (Sep 6, 2011)

  • Translations work once again (if you have them turned off, just remove ~/.config/avconvert/avconvert.lang to reset). Various minor fixes as well, like an adjustment for a change in how Zenity works.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.93 (Jun 21, 2011)

  • New "veryquiet" option to completely turn off progress popups. To enable this after upgrading to 0.93, go to the directory ~/.config/avconvert and either remove the file "avconvert" (the next run will create a new one), or edit that file and add the line "veryquiet=y".

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.91 (May 3, 2011)

  • Merging multiple AVI files

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.90 (Apr 27, 2011)

  • Merging multiple AVI files:
  • When your selection consists only of multiple AVI files, a new dialogue will ask if you would like to merge them.
  • CANCEL will proceed with normal conversion options.
  • OK will combine your AVI files into a file named MergedAVI.avi in the source directory of the first selected source file.
  • If you would like to merge files of other (or mixed) types, simply convert them all to AVI first. If your source AVI files are of different audio or video quality, these should all be pre-converted to the same format first.
  • (it was FAR too complex to try to make "merge" work with all the various formats)

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.89 (Feb 22, 2011)

  • Adjustment to detecting the links/elinks dependency (thanks to akwala)

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.85 (Aug 30, 2010)

  • When converting multiple files using ffmpeg when notification method is set to quiet, fixed typo which caused 60-second delay between files.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.84 (Jul 15, 2010)

  • The script will only complain about PATH if it needs to -- IF executed with no filename arguments

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.83 (Apr 8, 2010)

  • Fixed 270 degree image-rotate and made adjustments when executed with no $args

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.82 (Mar 24, 2010)

  • Video rotation is now two-pass and higher quality, added image rotation, adjustments to ffmpeg which better retain original quality, added tests for curl/gawk/elinks(or links) packages, improved file-naming and progress-bar when converting multi-page PDF into GIF images.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.81 (Jan 20, 2010)

  • Videos can now be rotated (requires mencoder). Video-->frames conversion has been improved.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.80 (Dec 18, 2009)

  • Corrects parsing of a line in the ffopts.custom file, when it contains multiple options to ffmpeg. Also performs some validity checks of options in that file.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.78 (Dec 15, 2009)

  • Options to ffmpeg from the 'custom' and 'submissions' files are now available during Audio conversion.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.77 (Dec 12, 2009)

  • In Ubuntu 9.10 there is no zenity.glade config file, added test for this. Made numerous small adjustments. Made correction to KEY-IN ffmpeg options being stored in avconvert.ffopts.custom file

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.75 (Dec 4, 2009)

  • Longer timeout when retrieving language list, with default to English if no list arrives. IF YOU USE TRANSLATION let me know if the timeout for retrieving translations needs to be lengthened as well!

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.72 (Nov 19, 2009)

  • There are three valid audio sample rates for FLV files (according to ffmpeg). If converting to FLV and no sample rate is specified, and the source file rate is not one of these three, the script now assigns the best match automatically.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.71 (Nov 17, 2009)

  • Fixed "file not found" when the source name contained [ or ] characters.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.70 (Nov 13, 2009)

  • After conversion "move originals to trash" dialog is now optional, corrected some text that did not display when translated.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.68 (Nov 2, 2009)

  • Another correction to a recent change. Fixed padding parameters to ffmpeg for aspect ratio conversion.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.63 (Oct 15, 2009)

  • Comments at the end of the script describe how to modify things like:
  • available and default output types
  • bitrate choices when writing audio
  • resolution choices when writing images
  • jpeg quality if writing jpg images
  • fonts for text->image

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.62 (Oct 11, 2009)

  • resolution choices when writing images
  • jpeg quality if writing jpg images
  • fonts for text->image

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.60 (Oct 2, 2009)

  • Comments at the end of the script describe how to modify things like:
  • available and default output types
  • bitrate choices when writing audio
  • resolution choices when writing images
  • jpeg quality if writing jpg images
  • fonts for text->image

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.59 (Sep 22, 2009)

  • Adjusted zenity so it doesn't auto-close conversion when ffmpeg hesitates on very long files.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.57 (Sep 7, 2009)

  • Better dialog for delete-originals option. Also made the progress-indicator smarter and other minor improvements.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.55 (Sep 4, 2009)

  • Made text->image a bit smarter about sensible choices

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.54 (Aug 24, 2009)

  • At the end of conversions, added the option to move source files to "avconvert-Trash" on the user's Desktop, which can be cleared at any time.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.52 (Jul 13, 2009)

  • Audio and Video now prompt for volume adjustment.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.51 (Jul 8, 2009)

  • Support for 3gp multimedia files (both read and write, though codecs may impose some minor limitations).
  • Now supports scaling the output size for videos.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.50 (Jul 2, 2009)

  • Now also supports realmedia .rmvb files for reading (but not writing - hunting for the proper codec, if it exists)

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.49 (Jun 30, 2009)

  • Minor tweaks, and addition of realmedia .rm files to the video conversions.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.48 (Jun 9, 2009)

  • Adjustments to some dialogues.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.47 (Jun 3, 2009)

  • Fixed: Detecting correct type for extension-less input file is now a bit smarter. When a video output file is larger than the input, the progress hits 100% before done - now, a second progress will indicate "still working". ImageMagick lists available fonts in a new format now, changed text->image to handle this.

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.46 (May 26, 2009)

  • ~/.avconvert now saves a default image extension (or 'none' or 'same').
  • Better handling of zenity, able to pop messages over or under other windows.
  • New ~/.avconvert option "quiet=" controls certain progress windows pop over- or under-
  • quiet also changes ffmpeg/mplayer summary from popup to a notification icon. Hover to view, click to remove.
  • Image conversion resolution now offers "Something else" use something not listed.
  • *** To fully enable new features, remove an old ~/.avconvert AND,
  • in /usr/share/zenity, move zenity.glade.orig to zenity.glade. ***

New in Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.35 (Apr 28, 2009)

  • Depending on how you use this, you might want no-loop and no-outdir to be defaults. ALso, the "zenity-check" is insistent and would be annoying if you don't want that changed (or for some reason can't on your system). Now you can set these in a config file. Create ~/.avconvert. The default contents would be these three lines:
  • nooutdir=n
  • autoloop=y
  • zenityfix=y
  • meaning "always prompt for directory to write new files to", "when multiple input files are selected, prompt to ask if they should all be handled the same way", and "always offer to modify zenity for popups-on-top"
