abcAVI Tag Editor 1.8.1

9 April 2005

(-) Some inaccuracy in the tag comparison table and the description of INFO tags were corrected (information at the abcavi site).
(-) AVI files with several video streams were displayed incorrectly (DivX files with built-in subtitles, for example). Now abcAVI shows the information on the first stream not the last.
(-) Bug in abcAVI.dll was fixed - renaming of AVI files in Explorer resulted in long delays when abcAVI Info Tips had been installed.
(-) Layout of Russian help and manual was fixed - some cirylic characters were replaced by black squares.
(*) The creation of messages for IMDb was improved to avoid spam filters.
(*) Query sending was optimized - now abcAVI sends only one message with the cumulative query instead of multiple messages (one per query).
(*) The algorithm of file analysis in abcAVI.dll was improved. The files with *.avi extension but truly not AVI files are processed much more faster now.
(*) abcAVI writes only one instance of its signature into JUNK section of AVI file. Earlier versions wrote their signature repeating every 256 byte.
(*) Defined more exactly 1 video FourCC and 18 audio TwoCC descriptions (thanks to http://www.getid3.org)
(*) Codecs definitions were moved from language.ini into separate file codec.ini. It make sure that there is no out of date codec definition. Otherwise qualified codec definition was overlaped by it's old translation from current language ini (when abcAVI work with other then English interface).
(+) Morgan Multimedia Stream Switcher was included into the installation pack. It forces Windows Media Player 7 and newer to show INFO tags.
(+) New export templates was added:
The Core Media Player play list (NPL)Player
Export technicals to Excel (DIF)
(+) New options were added to Internet connection settings
Server timeout
Delete "orphan messages" from IMDb
Clear the report at the connection centre automatically
(+) The authentication "POP before SMTP" was introduced
(+) The authentication SMTP (RFC 2554) was added

(-) Corrected video bitrate calculation, the error is less then 0,5%
audio_size:=(strf_auds.nAvgBytesPerSec*strh_auds.dwLength*strh_auds.dwScale/strh_auds.dwRate) + (strh_auds.dwLength*v_framespersec*8*strh_auds.dwScale/strh_auds.dwRate);
video_size{bytes}:=movi_size+(idx1_size/count_of_streams)-audio_size_stream1-audio_size_stream2-...;
v_kilobitspersec:=((video_size*v_framespersec*8)/(v_frames*1000));
The other way is to read whall AVI, summarize total frame size and divide by video length, but it's too slow on big files.
(-) Writing bug fixed: some tag's value grows by two #0 every writing
(*) Interface changes - AVI tags were took places in three subpages "Primary Tags", "Movie Credits" and "Additional Tags"
(*) Added icons to the first level pages
(*) Defined more exactly 9 video FourCC descriptions
(*) Defined more exactly 32 audio TwoCC descriptions (thanks to MPlayerhq.hu)
(+) Added 8 new AVI tags (for compatibility with IMDB.com):

abcAVI Tag Editor 1.3

25 june 2002

(-) Reading bug fixed: recognition of the space containing FourCC i.e. "RLE ", "DIB " etc.
(-) Reading bug fixed: wrong representation idx1 tag information.
(-) Reading bug fixed: skiping huge AVI header. Now huge tags only but not huge lists are skiped (except list "movi").
(-) Writing bug fixed: erasing AVI header while writing info in file without "idx1" chunk.
(-) Writing bug fixed: file without tags has empty "LIST INFO" and "LIST MID".
(-) Setup bug fixed: old versions registry and files were not deleted
(-) Reading bug fixed: read only files (for example on CD) couldn't be read in WinXP
(-) Writing bug fixed: abcAVI occupy files after writing tags
(-) Reading bug fixed: different files with the same short names can't be opened simultaneously.
(*) Faster file loading (swoping TreeView by DCTree lead to more then 10 speed growing)
(*) An installer made, added uninstall confirmation
(*) Saving options in ini-file (window positon, option page, export template, working directories)
(*) abcAVI has it's directory in Program Files
(*) The interface optimisation, status bar shows files statistics
(*) Buttons activation had been tuned
(*) Defined more exactly 50 video FourCC descriptions (thanks to KMStudio)
