18-05-2005 -FreeEnc 0.44 released! The changes:
- Fixed -1 switch and added -3,-4 and -5 for more passes.

- 1 Pass working again
30-04-2005 -FreeEnc 0.43 released! The changes:
- Fixed minbitrate incompatibility with DIKO
- Fixed icon not being shown in Window
- Added a comprehensive HELP with template explanation
- Added a Peter Cheat template with NuEnc default settings.
29-04-2005 FreeEnc 0.42 released! The changes:
- All buttons and images now bundled in the executable. It should no longer create trouble with DIKO and other apps
- FreeEnc now checks for minbitrate before starting conversion
- wrong CQ selection removed
27-04-2005 FreeEnc 0.41 released! The changes:
- Fixed image bug. Thanks latsilva for pointing it.
27-04-2005 -FreeEnc 0.4 released! The changes:
- Now using the improved Rate Control by Peter Cheat.
- New modes: CBR, and multipass VBR (also by Peter Cheat)
- New amazing Look by pizzic@to
28-11-2004 - FreeEnc 0.31 released! The changes:
- Bitrate Graph now scrools while file is encoded
- New dummy options -qlb -noqlb to allow use with QuEnc/NuEnc compatible apps
- Fixed(?) the random "Could not open libavcodec MPEG2." message
- New amazing Icon by pizzic@to
- top_field_first added to INI settings
0.3
What's new:
- Time passed, time remaining, FPS, Current frame bitrate, Current Frame
- New Bitrate Viewer-like Graphic, updated as long as the encode goes (very cool!)
0.2 is out
changes:
- Fixed the P4 crashes by disabling SSE2 code in avcodec. Finally! Thanks Mean from doom9 for pointing the problem.
- It's now possible to use different .ini templates
- new command-line option "-template". Usage: -template FreeEnc (do not put the .ini in the end, it's added automatically)
- New Status bar that shows if it's in first or second pass (to avoid confusion)
- Added Incredible KDVD alpha settings
0.13 is out
changes:
Fixed two bugs in the avcodec calls
Added a lot of clean-up code
When doing 2 pass, only writes to file in the second pass
it's possible to tweak rc_min_rate (but I advise against, it makes rate control go crazy)
Go is now disabled when conversion starts
0.12 is out
changes:
Interlaced now working
Now cleans up when there's an error (this should solve the crashes)
Checks if FreeEnc.ini actually exists
Progress Bar fixed
