[Fix]

- Stability of DivX decoder under third-party media players and Windows Explorer
- Settings in the Decoder Configuration Utility/DivX Settings Manager were not always applied correctly
- De-interlacing was sometimes enabled when it should not have been
- The feedback window could crash the encoder when enabled
- The feedback window could be enabled for Fastest and High Performance modes

[New]

- For compatibility with applications that do not expect the DirectShow decoder to request the hardware overlay, it is possible to enter application names for which the decoder will not use the hardware overlay in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DivXNetworks\DivX\ExtOverlayExclusions (you may need to create this key). For an example see the SMExclusions key in the same location, which allows the Settings Manager to be disabled on a per-application basis.

[Bugs fixed]

- Fixed divide by zero crash when Direct3D display is enabled and a video pane is shrunken to zero width.
- UYVY video streams were being reported as RGB16.
- Direct3D display minidriver didn't clip properly when the image was zoomed larger than the screen.

[Regressions fixed]

- Capture: Reverted change in rendering strategy for DirectShow filter graphs in order to fix field problems with ATI devices.
- Capture: Fixed crash when capturing video only using a VFW driver.

[core]

- Fixed bug when frame-drop (N-VOP) feature is used in combination with packed B-frames
- Fixed potential crash on AMD64/EMT64 architecture
- Fix for visual_object_verid vs. video_object_layer_verid problem
- Ensure intervening bytes are preserved in BitstreamInit()

[vfw]

- Prevent segfault when encoding application calls compress_end with NULL codec context
- Profile definitions updates

[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.
