| - | The reasons being that I don't want to shoehorn my other packages into using libav. I can install it manually and just use avconv whenever I want to. Installing HandBrake from source will use libav anyway. | ||

| The main target of this one is to do testing with Plex media server as well, so this is a testing spec at the moment. Plex has seeking issues at times, and also crashes on certain videos. Some other features that are going to go into this spec is packing SRT subtitles, adding poster art, and including a lot more metadata about the DVD source and its season, episode numbers, etc. | The main target of this one is to do testing with Plex media server as well, so this is a testing spec at the moment.

| - | I considered switching to MP4. That didn't happen because while the container can have AC3, DTS streams in it, it's against the spec. Console apps don't officially support it, but they work anyway. No support for VobSub was a killer as well. | ||

| 7.3.0 can read teletext straight from an MPEG-2 transport stream and convert it directly to an SRT and it has better handling of broken MPEG-2 transport streams. 7.4.0 more teletext fixes. 7.5.0 has more bug fixes related to MPEG transport streams. 7.7.0 has lots of changes to reading AC3 and Blu-ray audio codecs. 7.8.0 has new features for detecting DTS streams. 7.9.0 lots more added features and bug fixes for reading Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-HD streams. | 7.3.0 can read teletext straight from an MPEG-2 transport stream and convert it directly to an SRT and it has better handling of broken MPEG-2 transport streams. 7.4.0 more teletext fixes. 7.5.0 has more bug fixes related to MPEG transport streams. 7.7.0 has lots of changes to reading AC3 and Blu-ray audio codecs. 7.8.0 has new features for detecting DTS streams. 7.9.0 lots more added features and bug fixes for reading Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-HD streams. | ||

| + | * 30 or 60 constant fps | ||
| + | * FDK AAC default bitrate (let HandBrake decide) OR | ||
| + | * AC3 re-encode default bitrate (also let HandBrake decide) | ||
| + | * smpte170m color set | ||
| + | * VobSub or Closed Captioning, first English language stream, prefer VobSub | ||
| + | |||
| + | If I *did* want to make it backwards compatible, here's all that would change: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * FDK AAC only | ||
| + | * MPEG4 container | ||
| + | |||
| + | If I wanted to be even more strict to avoid throwing off certain hardware: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * No VobSub or Closed Captioning | ||
| + | * No chapter support | ||
| + | * Variable framerate same as source or 30 constant fps | ||
| + | * medium preset | ||
