VCS 1.0.99 released

New version released, finally implementing DVD support (both ISO and DVD devices should work). Also JPEG 2000 output, a more Polaroid™-like polaroid mode 😉 (the older one has been renamed to photos); the timestamp is now reduced for smaller captures plus the usual batch of fixes/tweaks. DVDs Capturing from DVDs is a bit tricky, the […]

VCS update 2008-04-16: 1.0.12 released

New version released, it fixes highlights, which were broken in the last version and a couple of long-standing cosmetic bugs. Also now requires minimum length before using the "end offset" i.e.: will only ignore a bit off the end of the video if it's long enough, by default 19'30" (the default value was chosen based […]

VCS update 2008-04-08: 1.0.11 released

New version released with a couple fixes and cosmetic touches. Fixes include a workaround for cases in which mplayer outputted all-black (or all-equal) captures. Also slightly better support for older/tighter systems (e.g. Damn Small Linux). Most notably in the cosmetic side is better thumbnail alignment in extended mode (-e), slightly less padded captures and drop […]

VCS update 2007-11-08: 1.0.10 released

New version released wth a bugfix and a couple new features: allow disabling timestamps and/or shadows. See the changelog below. I've also published a bit of information on the future of VCS and comments would be very welcome (in short, most probably, I'll be rewriting it in a different language than bash). Finally, I'm moving […]

VCS update 2007-09-04: Back from pause

Sorry for the long break, I had some things to delve with in off-line life, plus a web server change. I hope to restart development soon and look into the list of reported and known bugs. Also, I should be expanding online documentation. Hopefully. In the meantime I'm updating the list of known bugs with […]

VCS update 2007-05-12: 1.0.7a released

The new version is out. I've noticed some things that didn't work as expected (or as I assumed before, like command-line overrides –although as usual I guess few or no people uses them anyway :p– I'll have to look at them but have not much time anymore so I'm releasing as is. What's new in […]
