A BIG kludge for the calculation of mux_rate, so that times displayed in
the scroll bar are now correct for MPEG-2 streams. There is probably a
better way to do it, but I haven't found in months.
* Rewrote the video decoder to take advantage of several processors (SMP mode) ;
* Fixed a bug in the video decoder initialization :-p ;
* Added --smp option and several hooks in src/input/input_ext-intf.c ;
* Grayscale mode now turns off chroma IDCT.
- Fixed 2 Win32 bugs in libdvdcss (in _win32_dvdcss_readv), one of them
should have prevented the Win9x dvd input from working.
- Moved the "if(Win2k)" out of the loop in _win32_dvdcss_readv.
- Put a readv() function in input_iovec.h, the input_es now compiles.
- Modified input_ts to use this function.
- Fixed an initialisation bug in vout_directx.c
- Right clicking on the mouse now displays the navigation menu.
PS: If someone is willing to test the DVD input on Win95/98/Me I will
upload an up to date binary package.
DirectX plugin changes:
- The Win32 GetMessage function has been isolated in a thread. This has
been done because this function can block the thread. Thanks to this
change, you can now move your window without any video and audio
interruption.
- Splitted the events handling code into a separate file.
- Fixed the bug associated with the window dragging option in the
diplay properties.

* libdvdcss enhancements by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>. This breaks
vlc's DVD input (looks like decoders are expecting data too early and
DVD input can't cope with it due to decryption). Needs to be investigated.
* Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
* The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
* ALSA plugin message corrections.
* Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name
(eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx').
* Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin.
- Fixed the segfault in vout_UnloadFont
- DestroyThread in video_output doesn't call pf_destroy if pf_create has
failed previously.
- The Xvideo plugin now closes the video window when it XVideoGetPort
fails in vout_Create.
- defined off_t as a long long. This allows DVD navigation to work.
This change is to be implemented on a compiler by compiler basis. For
now, it works on mingw32 (tested) and should work on MSVC (not tested).
- Implemented a quick and dirty hack in intf_msg.c to be able to display
long long integers with printf on Win32. This change is also necessary
to avoid segfaults when debug is enabled in vlc on Win32.
- few minor changes in the directx plugins.
- defined snprintf in common.h and removed a few #ifdef WIN32
- Removed unecessary translations in the win32 code from block offsets to
byte offsets. This was overflowing some variables.
- Reduced the complexity of the Win9x ASPI functions because we only need
to handle DVD drive access.
- Win32 code now handles seeking in areas above 2.1 Go on DVDs.

- Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
code for a C function or variable.
GCC for Win32 normally prepends an underscore to the name of a
C function or variable, and the inline assembler code was using the
name without the underscore so we had undefined symbols in some
modules.

* Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
* Moved the null plugin together with the dummy one.
* Added new dummy input plugin.
More on the dummy input plugin: we'll use it to insert commands in
the playlist. Currently implemented are the "quit" and "pause" functions,
here are examples on how they are used:
vlc file.mpeg vlc:quit # exit after file.mpeg has been read.
vlc file1.mpeg vlc:pause:3 file2.mpeg # pause 3 seconds before playing
# the next file.
From now we can more efficiently benchmark vlc. For instance, to test
the video output changes I am doing, I use such a command:
time vlc -I dummy --noaudio file.mpeg vlc:quit
Future extentions might include more interesting stuff like "switch
to full screen", "repeat next file 3 times", "switch to SDL video
output"...

Last remaining problem: ReadCopyright and ReadKey. The version of
Darwin I have here only has reportKey() and sendKey() functions in
the IODVDBlockStorageDevice class (pages 413 and 449 of the Mt. Fuji

to wait for Apple to implement it (or maybe we can emulate this command
