A few neat things. YAMF will now automatically multiplex any number of audio and subtitle streams into the resulting video files. Note that this will only work when you use the Matroska container (I am pondering Transport Stream but haven't had any requests). The code is so kind to actually scale and convert SUP subtitles (BluRay) to Vobsub format. Thanks a lot to Volker Oth for his library for this. The code does a bit of guess work here. For example if you start out with full HD resolution and then scale down to 720x480 it will scale the subtitles to SD. However, since YAMF allows you to freely rescale while preserving aspect ratios this may sometimes not easily be converted/gleaned. For example nothing would stop you to convert to 480x480 (SVCD). The subtitles would likely look odd there. IF things don't turn out so well, I suggest you convert by hand using BDSup2Sub and then simply use YAMF's multiplexer. If the extension of the subtitle file is not .SUP it will simply multiplex and not convert. Note that whatever you multiplex into audio or subtitles must be digestible by the Matroska container.
You can set languages for subtitles and audio streams. You can set the default in the profile.
A few other things: I added a version checker that goes out to the net and pulls the latest version number and lets you know when an update is released. You can turn this on and off in the profile (depending on whether you are upgrading or not this is turned on or off by default).
Some things I fixed are the fact that the 'scale' checkbox was not remembered when saving a conversion profile. Just a nuisance. I also made sure that the job list only shows up once. Before you could open as many job windows as you liked. Now when you try to open another one it pop the existing on top.
Let me know how you like it.

MediaReader 0.7 in the download section. Some network support, optional Lobo support so 64 bit Javas are not totally left out in the cold (I am hoping for JWebpane to take care of those issues but nobody knows the release date).

I'd just like to give a quick update to those folks that have been waiting for this Playon plugin. I have had some exchange with the Mediamall folks and sent some doc and they were kind enough to have a look at the log, etc. It appears that the Playon parser has a problem reading the stream info properly from the ARD streams. There is really nothing I can do about it at present.
Mediamall is working on a new and improved version of the API which will give API authors a lot more control over the rendering of the streams whihc will solve this issue once and for all. I am afraid ARD Mediathek's fans will have to wait a little until then.
I will release a plugin then.
I might look at a couple of other requests I have received until then, such as Deutsche Welle.

Building mplayer/mencoder/x264/ffmpeg under windows |

At the fear of being flamed let me just say that I have spent two days experimenting, researching, patching, compiling and linking, often under duress but eventually succeeding.
I started from zero and managed to build proper statically linked binaries at the (mostly latest) version of itself and the associated libraries. I hope this may be useful to someone.h
Here is what I set out to do: I wanted not only compiler mplayer/mencoder/ffmpeg/x264 myself but also the various and sundry libraries used by mplayer for all sorts of different purposes. Vorbis/ogg/xvid/png and what not. In the end I came up with the following list of libraries (and their versions):
