GPAC Release 0.4.2

This release has a lot of new features, among which:

  • GPAC plugins for both Mozilla and Internet Explorer browsers – look here for more details
  • Support for SmartPhone 2003 and PocketPC 2003 platforms, with experimental 3D support through OpenGL ES
  • Many SVG improvements (gradients, SVG 1.2 uDOM scripting, DOM events, etc.)
  • Draft MPEG-4 LASeR support – WARNING the LASeR standard is still under editing, INCLUDING bitstream syntax. This means that LASeR support in GPAC is completely experimental, encoded scenes will be broken in next release.
  • MP4Client now supports screenshots/raw avi extraction from any supported file (MP42AVI is now deprecated)
  • New media import/export XML-based format NHML extending NHNT capabilities
  • Configurable progressive rendering of all XML-based scene descriptions
  • Initial IPV6 support
  • MPEG-2 TS support (demultiplexer only) – this feature is under heavy development at the current time, this is more a “preview” than anything else, but it should be quite stable in MP4Box.
  • Support for VobSub subtitles in MP4Box (mux/demux) thanks to a great patch from Falco
  • MPEG-1/2 raw video import
  • Simple iTune tagging for MP4Box thanks to a patch from Andrew Voznytsa
  • And of course the usual lot of bug fixes and other improvements …
