I changed some elements in the interface.No break in binary compatibily (no crash), but some details.

0.7.73 --> 0.7.74------------------ EBUCore: Source/Material moved from timecodeStart to timecodeTrack- AES3: generic term AES3 replaced by more precise SMPTE ST numbers (302, 331, 337)

0.7.72 --> 0.7.73------------------ Clean aperture size is move from width/height to its own field- HEVC: format_Profile field changed from Profile@Level to Profile@Level@Tier- MXF: writing library and writing application fields are cleaned up, you may face some incompatibility or different values- AVC and HEVC: Level x.0 are replaced by Level x, because specs have no .0

0.7.71 --> 0.7.72------------------ EBUCore 1.5 output is slighly modified, check the compatibility with your workflow- PBCore2: codecid changed

0.7.70 --> 0.7.71------------------ Time code striped/not striped information is moved from "Format_Settings" to "TimeCode_Striped"

0.7.69 --> 0.7.70------------------ BitDepth: for very rare MXF containing PCM having quantization bits not same as stored bit depth, Stored bit depth has moved from "BitDepth" to "BitDepth_Stored". "BitDepth is the quantization bits value.

0.7.64 --> 0.7.65

------------------ DCP AssetMap: format name changed fro "DCP" to "DCP AM", in order to differentiate AM from PKL and CPL

0.7.63 --> 0.7.64------------------ QuickTime: time code name is moved from General "OriginalSourceMedium" field to time code "Title"

0.7.62 --> 0.7.63------------------ XML: dt:dt is replaced by dt (for binary data)

0.7.61 --> 0.7.62------------------ MOV "menu" moved to "other", for better separation of time code tracks- "Intermediate Codec" is renamed to "AIC" (Apple Intermediate Codec)

0.7.60 --> 0.7.61------------------ MPEG-TS: Menu stream, KLVA_PID and SCTE35_PID removed and formats are in "Format" field- DTS: moved DTS endianess and word size

7/17/2019 Changes


0.7.58 --> 0.7.59------------------ colour_primaries, transfer_characteristics, matrix_coefficients: canonicalization of results

0.7.53 --> 0.7.54------------------ CEA-608: ID naming scheme has changed

0.7.52 --> 0.7.53------------------ MPEG-4: Material_* fields (in case of source duration different than track duration) --> Source_*

0.7.44 --> 0.7.45------------------ FLV and RIFF: Changing Sorenson H.263 to Sorenson Spark because this stream format is too much incompatible with H.263

0.7.36 --> 0.7.37------------------ JPEG 2000: Format_Profile=Reversible --> Compression_Mode=Lossless and Format_ Profile=Irreversible --> Compression_Mode=Lossy

0.7.35 --> 0.7.36------------------ M-JPEG format is renamed JPEG, M-JPEG 2000 format is renamed JPEG 2000 (difference between video and image is made by the stream kind)

0.7.32 --> 0.7.33------------------ Colorimetry is deprecated, replaced by ColorSpace- Resolution is deprecated, replaced by BitDepth

0.7.30 --> 0.7.31-----------------

- Format: "Digital Video" renamed to "DV"

0.7.28 --> 0.7.29------------------ Channel position: more coherency between the different formats (Front, Surround, back)

0.7.18 --> 0.7.19------------------ XML output: track names are changed, for a better usability by XML parsers (<track type="x" streamid="x">)

0.7.12 --> 0.7.13

------------------ Chapters has now language type per item, another string format, and moved to the menu part Old string format was "Chapter number : Time - chapter string" New string format is "Time : chapter string / Optionalinfo / Optional info" (optional info is separated by " / ") Note: if the language of the string is available, the string has the form "en:chapter string" (ISO-639 2-letter if available, else 3-letter) Note: if there is multiple languages, they are separated by " - " example of complex string: "Time : en:English - fr

7/17/2019 Changes


:Francais / en:More info - fr:plus d'infos" Note: for MPEG-TS EPG (Electronic program), string has this optional info (and Date/Time instead of time only): "UTC YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS : Name / Description / Content type /Classification / Duration / Running status" For third-party software, Chapters_Pos_Begin and Chapters_Pos_End fields are include for informing about the field positions of chapters

0.7.8 --> 0.7.9---------------- Windows DLL C++ namespace has changed from MediaInfoLib to MediaInfoDLL

0.7.6.4 --> 0.7.7.0-------------------- (General) BitRate is replaced by OveralBitRate (Overal bitrate for ALL streams) (General BitRate field is DEPRECATED)- PlayTime is replaced by Duration (PlayTime field is DEPRECATED)- Codec is replaced by 2 fields: - Format is the real format string (ie "MPEG-4 Visual") - CodecID is the codec string filled in the container (ie "DX50") - CodecID/Hint is a hint for it (ie "DivX 5") (Codec fields are DEPRECATED)- Interlacement field is replaced by 2 fields: - ScanType for "Progressive" or "Interlaced"

- ScanOrder for "TFF" or "BFF" (Interlacement field is DEPRECATED)- Chroma is replaced by Colorimetry (Chroma field is DEPRECATED)- Video0_Delay is replaced by Video_Delay (I will try to calculate it from the corresponding video when multiple streams) (Video0_Delay0 field is DEPRECATED)- Format_Settings_PacketBitStream is replaced by Format_Settings_MuxingMode setto "Packet Bitstream" (Format_Settings_PacketBitStream field is DEPRECATED)

0.7.5.3 --> 0.7.5.4-------------------- (Video) AspectRatio --> DisplayAspectRatio (AspectRatio tag is DEPRECATED)- (Video) PixelAspectRatio added- AAC #defines has been splitted in ADTS and ADIF

0.7.2.1 --> 0.7.2.2-------------------- (General) OveralBitRate --> BitRate- Visual --> Video (yes, I come back to the old style, Image streams are back, merging video and image was not a good idea)- Bits/(Pixel*Frame) --> Bits-(Pixel*Frame) (I need the special character "/" elsewhere...)

0.7.0.x --> 0.7.2.1-------------------- MediaInfo_Stream_Video --> MediaInfo_Stream_Visual (conformance with MPEG consortium names, Visual = Video or Image)

Note: this is only if you use named options, the number is always "1", old programs will not have problems with this.- To detect if this is a video or an image, you can test "Animated". Is 1 if this is a video, 0 if this is an Image- MediaInfo_FileOption_Close --> MediaInfo_FileOption_CloseAll Note: better name only, the number is always 2 old programs will not have problems with this.- Values of MediaInfo_FileOption_* are precised (because these are binary flags) Note: precision only, numbers are always same

7/17/2019 Changes


old programs will not have problems with this.

0.6.x.x --> 0.7.0.x-------------------- Inform() : Option_Custom is deprecated - if "Inform" option is set, it is used. Unset it to have a "normal" view. - To have a HTML output, use Option("Inform", "HTML") before. I will change the documentation as soon as possible- Tags : Somes tags have changed : - "Channels" is now "Channel(s)" - "Track" is now "Track/Position". Be warned : "Track" is used, but for otherthings - "Title" is now a generic name for 2 different names : - "Movie" for a movie (video and audio) name - "Track" for a track (audio only) name "Title" will always exist, you can continue to use it for a generic access - "XXX_String" are now "XXX/String"
