[New]

- A new "Sharpening" post-processing feature that enhances texture and sharpens any DivX 3, 4, 5 or 6 video.
- Optimizations for decoding and post-processing.
- Performance enhancements for post-processing on HT, SMP, and dual core processors.

[Bugs fixed]

- Added workaround for BMP files with bad BITMAPINFOHEADER::bfSize fields.
- Added workaround for TARGA files with run-length encodings that span scanlines (not allowed by spec).
- Fixed abort confirm and disk I/O options not saving consistently.
- Warnings, particularly the VBR warning, are now displayed after opening a file through command-line arguments.
- Fixed crash when VirtualDub.jobs file is not writable.
- Fixed crash when dealing with RLE4 and RLE8 encoded videos.
- Fixed stride error with odd-width TARGA files.
- Fixed occasionally oversized wave format structure being written when decompressing audio.
- The "autoselect" input color format now also tries 256 color mode in order to support old codecs that can only output this format.
- Capture: Switched graph construction code in DirectShow layer to prefer Video Renderer over VMR to avoid Direct3D.
- AMD64: Fixed one-byte PUSH/POP instructions reporting incorrect registers in disassembly.
- AMD64: Fixed field swap filter.

[New features]

- Changed: The formats for the project file and the template file have been changed. Therefore, project created with the new version cannot be used with older versions.
- Added: [Project wizard (Step 4/5)]: in the media pull-down selection, DVD 8.5 GB (Double Layer) has been added, for the bitrate setting and size graph.
- Changed: In the MPEG system multiplexer, the max. bitrate is written instead of the average bitrate for the multiplexing rate. It shortens the outputting process.
- Improved: [MPEG Setting - GOP structure]: Even if Closed GOP is not selected, the GOP structure is now compliant with the MPEG standard.
- Improved: Image quality for MPEG-1 with long-GOP, has been improved.
- Improved: Encoding of scenes using still-image, has been improved. Fixed: Errors related with encoding using multi-thread.
- Improved: The encoding of MPEGs with GOP structure using only I and B pictures, has been improved.
