possible 1902- Keeps some audio fixes for lost packets in over the air streams from interfering with other sources 1903- Handles rendering of sources where the picture resolution changes mid-stream

conflict between maxHeight and maxWidth and loose anamorphic 1914- Warn in the log when titles are being ignored during scan for lack of audio 1915- Fixed bug with Slow/Slowest deinterlacing and

logs for each encode (stored by default in ~/Application Support/HandBrake, can be co-located with encoded file destination by preference) 1924- Allows reading from ZFS volumes 1925- Fixed target size mode. It keeps breaking itself. Maybe it should just be put out of its misery... 1926- Assorted other improvements 1927 1928### Windows GUI 1929 1930- Nested presets 1931- Individual activity logs for each encode 1932- Slow and slower deinterlacing and decomb work now in Windows 1933- Added resizable update window 1934- Fixed parsing of non-DVD source audio formats 1935- Restored Copy to Clipboard to the Activity Log Window, among other enhancements to it 1936- Fixed bug with MKV presets showing up as .m4v 1937- Assorted other improvements 1938 1939### Linux GUI (GTK) 1940 1941- Nested presets 1942- Individual activity logs for each encode 1943- Allows pending queue items to be removed, and reloaded in the main window for editing 1944- Better handling of HD previews 1945- Assorted other improvements 1946 1947### CLI 1948 1949- Updated presets to the equivalent of the nested ones in the GUIs 1950- Allows setting custom audio track names in MP4 files 1951- Allows selection of the COLR atom in MP4 files, between Bt.601 and Bt.709 1952- Fixed reading of device paths in OS X 1953 1954### A special note on the new presets (they're collapsible-triangle-folder-thing-errific!) 1955 1956- Deux Six Quatre, Blind, Broke, and Bedlam are gone.

WTF is iPod High-Rez called iPod Legacy now?" 1967 1968The answer is Universal. 1969 1970The Universal preset is designed to play on all modern iPods (anything newer than the iPod 5.5G). It also plays on iPhones. It also plays on AppleTVs. It should also play just about anywhere else, hence the name. It is full anamorphic DVD resolution--no tricks with downscaling like stuff from the iTunes Store. It includes chapters, and has the first audio track in both AAC (DPL2 downmixed) and AC3 pass-thru, just like the AppleTV preset. In fact, it should give the same quality as the AppleTV preset, but faster...and at a larger file size. Like the AppleTV preset, it used CRF, so sizes will vary. 1971 1972## HandBrake 0.9.3 Snapshot 3 (SVN revision 1797) 1973 1974### Core Library 1975 1976- Universal input support, utilizing libavcodec

H.264-in-TS sources 2022- Constant Quality Rate preset probably needs a lower quality level (60% - 55%) 2023- With non-DVD sources that don't have AC3 audio, you can't encode 1 input audio track to
