4.0.24 (rc1):
- Merge with ffmpeg 4.0 series. vgtmpeg should now be more compatible with 4.0+ ffmpeg
- Versioning scheme now makes it easier to identify upstream ffmpeg branch. {ffmpeg_ver}.{vgtmpeg_rev}
- DVD/bluray urls no longer needs explicit output mapping. Default, titles, video and audio tracks are selected. This fixes common error “Output file #0 does not contain any stream” when not specifying mapping
- libx265/libx264/libvpx updated to latest versions
- libfaac AAC encoder dropped in favor of the much higher quality fdk-aac. Use encoder ‘libfdk_aac’ to use this aac encoder
- 32bit binaries have been deprecated for all platforms

2.0.35
- fixed bug that was disabling keyboard interaction while in ffmpeg mode

2.0.34
- added h265 encoding support with x265
- added vp9 encoding support and libvpx-vp9
- vgtmpeg now comes with 384 codecs and 270 formats by default without extra libraries. see ‘vgtmpeg -codecs’ and ‘vgtmpeg -formats’ for actual list
- this version is merged off ffmpeg version 2.5.4
- now compatible ffmpeg version is reported in command line. System integrators can use this to gauge ffmpeg compatilibity.
- vgtmpeg does no longer need explicit ‘-map’ command line settings to map intput streams to output streams. Defaults are provided if not indicated.
- updated libdvdread to 5.x series and released vgtmpeg version in github http://github.com/concalma/libdvdread-vgtmpeg
- miscellaneous bugfixes

- fixed report duration from DVD parsing. some DVDs were reporting wrong length
- libdvdread messages are now only seen when set logging to verbose
- fix important issue with some DVDs where a whole cell would be skipped
- DVD urls are not reported with / slashes
- speed improvements when opening DVDs with lots of titles (30+)
- libvpx bumped up to 1.0.0
- bluray now much richer with chapters, language on audio tracks

Bluray input is now vastly improved and much more integrated into vgtmpeg/ffmpeg. For example metadata available in Bluray like chapters, language tags is now passed to the output format (mp4,mkv..) if the format allows it. This was available before on DVD inputs too.

vgtmpeg 1.4.62 has been synced up with the lastest version of ffmpeg which now includes a native bluray folder parser. vgtmpeg’s seems however to more featured. This release contains both bluray parsers so you can use whichever one you please.

As always this release comes precompiled and ready to use for Windows, MacOS X and Linux and available in intel versions for both 32 and 64 bit. That’s a total of 6 platforms! phew

Drop me a line if there are any issues.

Therefore, to use the new version you don’t have to do anything.  If you are using any of the most popular profiles probably you have already used 0.2.6. let us know if you have any problems.

We are also working on revamping the documentation so it’s easier to learn to create your own profiles.

We were really excited to bring you this release early so some documentation is still missing, but we will be filling in the blanks soon.

So far we only have a few profiles setup for use but more profiles are coming soon.

There is quite a bit more that will be unveiling little by little.

Stay tuned!
