abcAVI Tag Editor 1.8.1
9 April 2005
(-) Some inaccuracy in the tag comparison table and the description of INFO tags were corrected (information at the abcavi site).
(-) AVI files with several video streams were displayed incorrectly (DivX files with built-in subtitles, for example). Now abcAVI shows the information on the first stream not the last.
(-) Bug in abcAVI.dll was fixed - renaming of AVI files in Explorer resulted in long delays when abcAVI Info Tips had been installed.
(-) Layout of Russian help and manual was fixed - some cirylic characters were replaced by black squares.
(*) The creation of messages for IMDb was improved to avoid spam filters.
(*) Query sending was optimized - now abcAVI sends only one message with the cumulative query instead of multiple messages (one per query).
(*) The algorithm of file analysis in abcAVI.dll was improved. The files with *.avi extension but truly not AVI files are processed much more faster now.
(*) abcAVI writes only one instance of its signature into JUNK section of AVI file. Earlier versions wrote their signature repeating every 256 byte.
(*) Defined more exactly 1 video FourCC and 18 audio TwoCC descriptions (thanks to http://www.getid3.org)
(*) Codecs definitions were moved from language.ini into separate file codec.ini. It make sure that there is no out of date codec definition. Otherwise qualified codec definition was overlaped by it's old translation from current language ini (when abcAVI work with other then English interface).
(+) Morgan Multimedia Stream Switcher was included into the installation pack. It forces Windows Media Player 7 and newer to show INFO tags.
(+) New export templates was added:
The Core Media Player play list (NPL)Player
Export technicals to Excel (DIF)
(+) New options were added to Internet connection settings
Server timeout
Delete "orphan messages" from IMDb
Clear the report at the connection centre automatically
(+) The authentication "POP before SMTP" was introduced
(+) The authentication SMTP (RFC 2554) was added
(+) Added 70 new video FourCC descriptions (thanks to KMStudio and http://www.fourcc.org)
