vcs

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.

Newer IM appears to use recognise system fonts by default. Using some common-place good looking font like DejaVu would be preferable.

It’s supposed to fail silently, at least accordingly to http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/#fonts but on my system it prints an error. Probably not worth supressing

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)
* 0.6~svn20100603: Video detected as libvpx

Capture

Both appear to work fine.

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.

shoehorn is most probably no longer needed (or even working) with the complexity vcs has gained over time

–mincho was replaced with –nonlatin in 1.11

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

Introduce new names in 1.12 (this)

Remove old names in 1.13 or 1.14 (FS#151)

Doing this better will remove from of the duplication with overrides, specially on the filename font/non-latin stuff

MIN_LENGTH_FOR_END_OFFSET was deprecated in 1.11 and will be ignored starting with 1.12.

The new behaviour is to apply by default a small end offset always, based on the video length. Users will be able to disable this with either -E0 or config option end_offset=0
