v0.47b (2009-04-28) Fourty Seventh Public Beta
. Updated Dutch language file. Thanks Pl4yit.
. Small bug in dealing with HD-DVD subtitles and JAVA/BDSup2Sup not installed
. Update the BDSup2Sub current status in the splash bar
. Now parse subtitles with JAVA/BDSup2Sup & separated FORCED ones out.

This is the forced subtitled solution:

Assumptions JAVA & BDSup2Sub installed, working and the INI entries are correct.
===========

BD subtitles
------------
. can only be identified as forced after eac3to has run, BDSup2Sub is called to parse out the forced subtitles into a separated *_FORCED.SUP file.
. based on the 'subtitle preference' the forced subtitles will appear as the 1st (2nd, 3rd etc) subtitles. Other languages are excluded.
. if the 1st language (based on the 'subtitle preference') is FORCED, then the set stream 1 to show is performed

HD-DVD subtitles
----------------
. are identified by text containing "forced". to convert to BD, BDSup2Sub is called anyway.
. based on the 'subtitle preference' the forced subtitles will appear as the 1st (2nd, 3rd etc) subtitles. Other languages are ordered as selected.
. if the 1st language (based on the 'subtitle preference') is FORCED, then the set stream 1 to show is performed


JAVA 6 RTE & BDSup2Sub must be installed, working and correctly set in INI to enjoy the new features.

. Updated French language file. Thanks pseudo555.
. Please make sure that you have Java Runtime Environment 6 correctly installed
see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145277 for details
. Remove trailing spaces from paths, this actually causes eac3to to hang
. Sniff for text 'Aborted at file position' in the eac3to console, as this is causes eac3to to never write a log file (and Clown_BD hangs)
. Add splash screen on startup. More important on lower end or older PCs to explain the short pause.
. BDSup2Sub now embedded in EXE, hence larger size

[mike_r]

[mike_r]

v0.58 (2009-05-19) Fifty Eigth Public Release
. Decided to implement Vicky Christina Barcelona fix. Basically, if the input source is 3.0 channels DTS you can't use eac3to to convert to AC3.
the workaround is - download AFTEN http://win32builds.sourceforge.net/

that's it.

. Changed chapter filenames to be 4 digits with leading 0 at request of Julien321. See post #1525

Posting a log file from the start would have helped though.
. Changed the way tsMuxeR and BDSup2Sub are handled in BATCH mode.

Also this means that logging is improved. It might not be everyone's cup of tea (blocked instance
handling - but you can't have it all eh ?)
. Control http download locations over http://clownbd.com/Clown_BD_Version_Check.txt after the
hoo-ha over Java release 16 when nobody could find the download, although entering 'yes' in the
