Characteristics(some of them):

• Use same ECL Files than CCE SP Trial
• Read any AVS script by using directly avisynth.dll
• Built-In advanced QMatOp technology - Activated by adding adjust_q_matrix=1 in ECL  or CCEAQM=1 in the REBUILDER.INI file for DVDRB users. For details about QMatOp go to the forums.
• MultiPass enabled - Above 4 passes is close from useless but can be performed
• Part of CCE Simple Settings (Animation/CG/Natural) taken into account : Recomended for Anime (Aniamtion) and old movies (Natural)
• QMatOp phase not reprocessed but detected if encode cancelled once finished.
• Pass 1 no reprocessed if already done.
• Compatible with RB-Farm when used with DVDRB. (Thank you Danpos for finding/testing it!!!)
• MPEG2 Encoder using a part of libavcodec : libavcodec is released under the LPGP.
    You can get a copy of the LGPL at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.txt

Changes History:

0.33  - 2006/08/11

• Corrected OPV, it was not working properly when Q=1 (Thank you Danpos for finding it)
• Improved OPV quality, should be better but slower!!!!
• Added new parameters for QMatOp tweakings (Requested by Archeo)
• qmat_min_intra=### , Minimum value for intra values (default 8)
• qmat_max_intra=###, Maximum value for intra values (default 255)
• qmat_min_inter=###, Minimum value for inter values (default 16)
• qmat_max_inter=###, Maximum value for inter values (default 255)
• dctune_prec=##, Precision percentage (integer value from 1-100)  for DCTune (default 5)
• Tweaked QMatOp (A bit slower but better) : The default speed is a bit lower
• MPEG2 CBR implemented....
• FPS displayed (Requested by Fox Ace)
• Fine tuned QMatOp for Ultra Low Bitrates
• Totally rewrote the rate control for high bitrates. (3 passes highly recommended for a good sizing)
• Constraints are respected now : No more spikes above the Max bitrate
• Sizing as good as good as "normal" bitrates with 3 passes (1 Vaf + 2 VBR)
• Tuned QMatOp on very hard to encode scenes. (Ex: Pitch Black "crash down" scene)
• Added a pulldown function (very experimental) :
• pulldown_detect=#    (1: 23.976->29.97, 2:24.000->29.97, 3:25.000->29.97)
• It's applied once the movie is encoded, so for a PAL->NTSC conversion, select a PAL encode, then pulldown_detect=3
• AutoBias : If vbr_bias>=0 , automatic else for a manual bias just set it as a negative value.
• Added a special mode correction when in high bitrates if the movie is oversized, a new faster method is called to correct it.
• Added some timed log functions. Now everything is timestamped in the log file.
• OPV Mode : It should simulate a little bit more the CCE behaviour :
• Range is now 0-300 like CCE
• The curve is a 1/x^2 kind of function.....a bit like CCE
• Tweaked the rate control for the embedded Pulldown application
• Improved quality at high bitrates.(Macroblock at scene changes bug)
• Worked on the Rate Control without QMatOp, a new function was implemented in order to work as if QMatOp is on.
• Corrections of minor bugs.
• Average FPS written to the log
• "Animation" mode implemented (Depending on some specific conditions some vids are detected as being animation kind and then the behaviour of the rate control is different)
• Added a feature in the animation mode : Scene Change Threshold is adjusted if too low.
• AQE is fully compatible in a multi instance mode now : AQE^n (from Darksoul71) for example
• Added an auto max QMatOp intra/inter value feature, it seems to correct some macro blocking in some cases (I will call it the Appleseed bug! :) Thanks to swiftninja for finding this one! )

0.32b - 2006/02/16

•     Faster/Better QMatOp - Thank you OXA for your help on this
•      Corrected some bugs in OPV
•      Improved the First pass analyzer....3 passes should be enough 99% of the time
•      No more blocking artefacts. (when the bitrate allows it)
•      Corrected a bug for very big videos (Found by Fantoman) : I had to change some parts of the code from 32 bits to 64 bits
•      Improved again the first pass analyzer for the min Q values, it improves again the RC.
•      Corrected some minor display bugs.
•      Display version info in the log
•      Create New VAF parameter taken into account now
•      Multithread enabled version (Highly experimental) - Posix Threads used.
• Parameter : threads=##   ,   ## being the number of threads.
•      Total time info displayed and added in the log
•      Auto Multithreading : if threads=1 or not mentioned => Automatic, if threads = # manual number of threads, if threads = 0 Multithreading disabled
•      Multithreaded QMatOp phase (Windows threads for this part)
•      Smaller logs, only really pertinent info is kept now.
•      Smaller displays
•      Corrected a bug in the display of the size of the very big files (Multipass)
•      Corrected the RC for OPV.
•      Corrected the Multipass RC, Sizing at high bitrates should be improved.
•       (Thank you to Fox Ace for his tests)
•      Added the MPEG1 encoding feature :
•  MPEG1 = 1 means MPEG1 will be encoded
•  cbr_rate : Bitrate for MPEG1 (which is always CBR)
•      Chapters insertions (multipass only)
• Same than CCE SP : chapter= ## , ## being the frame number. Only constraint for now, they must be ordered. Example:
• chapter=0
• chapter=15000
• chapter=30000
•      Improved QMatOp with some new extended restrictions but still MPEG2 compliant.

0.31b - 2005/11/11

• Introduced a new version of QMatOp, it should be faster for bitrates higher than 3750kbps
• Added an number of frames autodetection when last_frame = 0 or not specified. (Introduced for DIKO)
• Here is my first template for DIKO (not tested yet)
• Changed the Q range valueof OPV from a linear one to a logarithmic one...it seems to work better with DVDRB.
• Tweaked the RC for OPV
• Corrected a bug in the PPM writing core function, it was discovered by Danpos from the BDVD Team. Thank you for your tests.
• Corrected a major flaw in the QMatOp engine...Some flat matrices were generated in some cases. Thank you oxa for finding it and running many tests.
• Corrected a bug found by Danpos (BDVD Team) : When the AVS script was producing a Field Based movie, the script refused to open. Thanks again to him !!!!
• Corrected minor bugs
• Removed limitations to the QMatOp engine + Adjusted the core formula (better for low bitrates)
• Added a parameter to change the speed of QMatOp (faster means means less precision) tc_ref_frm, default value 0, above 3 not tested.
• Generated matrices are now scan optimized (pure ZigZag or pure Alternate)
• Matrices are curved smoothed with quadrilinear functions.
• Adjusted the rate control
• Corrected the threshold for Ultra Low Bitrates encodes, it takes into account the resolution.
• Adjusted QMatOp to benefit from the quadrilinear interpolation functions...Faster and better.
• Added a remaining time info
• Corrected a bug found by oxa (blinking squares due to a very low quantization)
• Added a new VAF analyzer to assess more accurately the Qmin/Qmax after the first pass.
• Added a min bitrate correction function
• Spikes should be gone at high bitrates !!!!!
• A stupid error in the ECL parsing was corrected (Thank you oxa for this one)
