197TO-DOHighMove away from /dev/shmAssigned
0%
1.14 Task Description

/dev/shm isn’t really intended as an alternate temporary location, and VCS’ temporary files can easily grow too large for it too.

As a possible alternative offer a first-run choice of temp-dir (maybe suggesting /dev/shm).

 188 TO-DOLow Blank frame evasion Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

As found in mtn.

Try to avoid capturing mostly-blank frames.

 179 TO-DOVery Low Add codec identification for FRAPS captures Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

mplayer: FPS1

i.e.:
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=fffraps
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=FPS1

ffmpeg: fraps

i.e.:
Stream #0.0: Video: fraps, yuvj420p, 1680x1050, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 30 tbn, 30 tbc
 177 TO-DOLow Safe length feedback should print nicer timestamps Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

Safe length measuring, when probing the video length, prints only the number of seconds and milliseconds, it would be better to display a more readable format.

 176 TO-DOVery Low Filmstrip not realistic Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

The filmstrip mode has had a placeholder implementation since the start, it should look closer to an actual film strip.

E.g.: http://sites.google.com/site/elsamuko/gimp/sprocket

 173 TO-DOLow Switch to Bash 3 Closed
100%
1.12.3 Task Description

Bash 2 syntax has been the norm for most versions (although broken in some).

So far none of the major distributions is using bash 2, bash 4 is already gold but not widely-used enough.

Only a few special purpose/minimal distros like DSL retain bash 2.05b, but vcs requires recent versions of ImageMagick, Mplayer and FFmpeg anyway. I can’t see a reason to retain such backwards compatibility.

1.14 Task Description

 171 TO-DOVery Low Deprecate './vcs.conf' in favour of profiles Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

The function that vcs.conf in current dir accomplished is covered by profiles. If wanted it can still be manually loaded with -C :pwd or -C vcs.conf

 170 TO-DOVery Low Release 1.12.3 Closed
100%
Meta: Release Cycle Task Description

Bugfixes from the 1.13 branch should be backported to 1.12, since 1.13 will need a lot of testing.

1.12.2 Task Description

WebM: http://www.webmproject.org/

Uses VP8 video and Vorbis audio.

Current Status:


Identification

MPlayer: Video detected as VP80
FFmpeg:
* 0.5.1+svn20100311: Not supported (fails in the safe-length-detection stage)

Both appear to work fine.
