[gst-devel] Announcing GEntrans 0.10.1

[Mark Nauwelaerts]

This mail announces a new release of GEntrans.

------------
Description:
------------

GEntrans targets GStreamer application developers and experienced end-users and
has the following parts and purposes.

Primarily; a python script, entrans, as an alternative to gst-launch, but with
additional features geared towards transcoding purposes, such as:
- specifying pipeline to execute either manually or have it constructed based on
a sparse, partial description
- non-linear editing of input
- progress reporting, if applicable
- (element) configuration management

Secondly, a set of filter elements (for denoising, sharpening, etc) ported from
other applications such as mplayer, avidemux, etc

Finally, documentation for all of the above, including a fairly introductory
GStreamer transcoding howto, all of which is also available online (e.g.
http://gentrans.sourceforge.net/docs/head/manual/html/index.html)

Refer to the project page http://gentrans.sourceforge.net
for further information or download.

-------------------
Changes in v0.10.1:
-------------------

* make entrans.py also multiqueue and queue2 aware
* allow re-ordering of input streams to output streams
* processing pipeline can now also be provided per specific stream
   (rather than only per type of stream)
* seek for selected sections no longer restricted to FORMAT_TIME;
   now also possible in terms of a custom format (e.g. DVD chapter)
* monitor for e.g. no-more-pads time-out, and try to correct/simulate
* new generic element bufferjoin:
   joins subsequent buffers with identical timestamps
   (e.g. codec sequence headers and subsequent frame)
* recognize and support some more container format file extensions
* upgrades and adjustments to deprecations and new bindings
* misc. updates and fixes

Regards,
Mark.
