Hebrew localization by Ariel Chinn
New in 1.4.1
MPEG-in-.mov files now supported. Very few converters, QuickTime-based or otherwise, can correctly deal with this type of file.
From 1.4a: Fixed an idiotic quoting issue. Remember: If you think something will work just fine, you're dead wrong and you will fail miserably.
Replaced nearly the entire filenaming code to better handle non-standard characters.
Brought QuickTime decoding back to iSquint 1.3 speeds (still with 1.4's brightness tweak).

Improvements to displaying the log file.
Fixed some 10.3.9 issues. What, are you guys waiting for Leopard?
New in 1.4
Big increase in H.264 encoding quality! H.264 encoding is now "worth it".
Log file now available for last completed/failed video.
New build of ffmpeg. DV-in-AVI, Matroska, and AAC audio better supported.

VCD .dat files authored in a certain way now detected correctly.
Cleanup of temporary audio after conversion works again.
More graceful cancel notification.
Polish localization by Lukasz Witkowski
Chinese Simplified localization now shows up as Simplified instead of Traditional.
Fixed a typo in the Help! menu. This is the most important thing in the entire update.
1.4a: Fixed quoting issues. Bah.
New in 1.3.2
In 1.3.1 and below, some QuickTime videos with odd dimensions would cause the video encoder to die after one frame. Fixed.
Quartz Composer .qtz files now supported. They get pre-rendered at 30fps for best motion.
New in 1.3.1
H.264 Encoding for not-short videos is working again (white screen after a few seconds/minutes, etc). I have a short attention span, so I didn't notice. Sorry.
Better cleanup procedures for temporary files.
New in 1.3
MPEG-4 compression now up to 200% faster! wtfcrazy!

New in 1.2.2
More Premature Completion fixes. Her old version lasted...why can't you?
Cleaning up after a cancelled encode now works better.
New in 1.2.1
Slightly-updated build of ffmpeg. Fixes the following two problems:
Certain .vob files weren't correctly recognized. Fixed.
Old G3 computers incompatble with recent build process. Fixed.
Premature Completion problem fixed. Don't be embarassed. It happens to lots of guys.
The final muxer no longer causes inaccurate (or any) AppleScript errors.
Japanese systems can now use the "Saving In" field without AppleScript errors.
Portuguese language tweaks.

1.2.ß: Fixed escaping problem in final muxer.
New in 1.1.2

Absurdly-huge QuickTime/MP4 files (like, 1080p trailers) now convert as expected.
Certain MPEG and AVI files with bad AV sync might work better now. Let me know either way, or if other types aren't working anymore.

Japanese Localization by E-WA (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/E-WA/)
German Localization by Frank Stohl (http://www.stohl.de/)
New in 0.9o
Fixed a whole bunch of AppleScript errors.
iSquint now checks for country's decimal format and deals with it The Right Way.
Tweaked Tiny Quality settings and halved framerate for most videos.
Added some missing localization strings.
French Localization by Antoine. (http://mac-video.desir.fr/)

New in 0.9n
Added Audio Bitrate option to Advanced drawer.
Every text string is now able to be localized.
Fixed errors caused by errors in error box code.
Auto-add to iTunes works again.

H.264 SUPPORT!
...and I mean it this time! H.264 gets the same 5 quality presets tailored for iPod compliance.
Resizable interface!
TV-sized files that are iPod-resolution-kosher don't get resized while converting.
I now rename all files to end in .m4v.
Made some improvements to time-remaining estimations.
Fixed some weird aspect-detection problems with some weird clips.
Wow. I did a lot today. I don't even remember half the things I did...
Figured out the weird AppleScript number variable issue. Affected users are informed.
There is no 0.9l. Sans-serif lowercase L is a wimpy, stupid letter. Imagine living in Illinois. Doesn't that look ridiculous? I deal with it every day.
New in 0.9k
Quality Slider!
Just because. My girlfriend thinks it looks cool too. The new "Tiny" setting is great for talking-head type stuff.
Fixes and/or doesn't fix problems with certain QuickTime videos, like ones without an audio track or other type weirdness.
Lots of little bugs fixed. Also, a warning for people with the AppleScript Number problem.
Better explanation of certain errors.
New in 0.9j
Worked around the "can't make .000** into number" error. Some people's systems can't see 5-digit decimal string as a number. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Instead of troubleshooting it (none of my computers have the problem) and making a real fix, I've just made the error non-fatal. The only downside is no time-remaining calculation.
Files with apostrophes in their names should now convert. This really sucked to fix, and my code looks like crap again. You better appreciate it.
Better estimation of 1-2 minute conversion times (A little over/About/Less than)
Fixed a few strange aspect ratio detections.
Fixed crazy-framerate prevention for the new build of ffmpeg.
Now checks for anamorphic content when converting MPEG-2 material. 16:9 and 4:3 is automatically discovered thanks to mpgtx.
A few interface things. I made room for another checkbox/button on the Advanced tab. Talk amongst yourselves.
Changed QuickTime and WMV to use ffmpeg's scaling algorithm instead of QuickTime's old QuickDraw method. Slower, but much better quality.
Added .mp4 and .m4v files to the list of QuickTime-decoded formats.
Used simpler words in the interest of easyification for the Settings box. Also made sure every control in the main window had a ToolTip.
Unless a fix for iPod-compatible H.264 video magically falls out of the sky, I'm going to release iSquint 1.0 very soon without H.264 support.
New in 0.9i
Lingering bug fixes - mainly for 10.3.9 compatibility.
10.3.9 - Extra buttons show up when and where they should. This means "Cancel" works, and the +/- buttons are always visible.
10.3.9 - Rounding for .mov and .wmv framerates now works correctly.
<10.4.3 - Changed how idling works so the UI stays responsive, but overall CPU usage stays low. >10.4.2 not affected.
Fixed (I think) the "can't make .000** into number" error. Mostly a 10.3.9 thing, but some Tiger people affected too.
New in 0.9h
H.264 Support!
Now I don't want anybody asking for anything ever again...
Um...I kinda haven't tested H.264 videos. Can someone let me know if they work? :p
Yeah...it doesn't work. Oh well. :(

Add, Delete and Clear All.
New build of ffmpeg!
More compatible, probably faster, probably higher quality.
Better quoting of file/path names. More characters allowed.

Laid the groundwork for a Preferences window (save Advanced settings, default save location)
Started cleaning up code and commenting it. Hmm...
New in 0.9c
Majorly improved conversion of QuickTime and Windows Media files!
ISquint now uses the QuickTime frameworks to decode .mov files, while still having ffmpeg do the grunt work. This means so many more videos (including HD trailers!) are now compatible with iSquint than ever before.
Other fixes:
iSquint now cleans up after itself. Very important for multi-user systems.
Better notification/explanation of batch conversion errors.
Advanced drawer settings explanation. It's not the best, but you're smart if you use it, so figure it out.
New in 0.9b:
A working Advanced drawer!
Manual Cropping
Manual Sizing
Manual Bitrate Setting
Manual Framerate Setting
Deinterlacing
Audio controls don't work yet because I am lazy.

New in 0.9a:
Overhauled interface!
Automatic aspect ratio discovery!
Batch processing only a mother could love!
Multiple-location processing
Drag-and drop simplicity
