This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12.2.

1.12.2 might be skipped and its items pushed back to 1.13.

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.

No need for description

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

PyCryptoPlus is a drop-in replacement for PyCrypto written in Python, meaning it can run much more easily on Windows.

lxml provides a cleaner (or more pythonic) implementation, is easier to install and more commonly required.

cryptopy provides a pure python implementation of ciphers, allowing easier install on some systems (e.g. 64bits Windows) than PyCrypto.
Unlike PyCryptoPlus it doesn’t seem to depend on PyCrypto but has a different API.

The performance degrades considerably, of course.
