* Make the Survey Opt-Out
* New options to set the ouptut resolutions (auto, fixed width, fixed size)

* Use double digits for jobs names so that the order is kept intact in case of a crash
* Don't display the decoded frame in the preview when the whole image is cropped

* Make sure the input and output folders of a Watched Folder are different
* Parse IFO filenames even if they include a prefix or suffix (partially fixes #1444296)
* The VideoPreview now release the input file lock (fixes #1442569)
* Protect avcodec_open and avcodec_close as they don't seem to be reentrant
* Display the graph of video frames for quality-based encoding
* Detect audio delay correctly for VOBs whose the first picture's temporal sequence number is not equal to 0
* Constrain-to-file-size based custom profile respects the file size property
* Detect audio delay for non-AVI input file containers only
* Seeking by file offset used in analysis instead of time-stamp to work-around pts bugs in MPEG files
* Fixes for RV10 decoding
* Add channel down-mixing in DirectShow (you can leave your AC3 decoder to 5.1 output now)
* Improve seeking in ASF/WMV/DVR-MS
* Fixes for Cinepak keyframe indication
* Scan sections of the file to detect all audio and subtitle tracks


Changes from Dr. DivX v2.00 Beta 8 to Dr. DivX v2.00 Beta 9

* Add a button in the Batch window to launch an encoded file
* Add an option to encode with a constant quality (target quantizer)
* Add the possibility to reconfigure a job after it was added to the queue
* Add support for default output profile
* Add auto-build version checking
* Add a progress bar to the job status
* Start the jobs in Low priority by default
* Fix column widths for job batch and plugin list
* Put correct cli.exe in Installer for future builds
* Make the sliders usable with the keyboard
* Rework the crop enable/disable so that it can be handled by the keyboard
* Make language selection thru Preferences work
* Alphabetize language drop-down for audio and subs

* Now built with MSVC 2005 Express (freeware version) and Qt 4.1.1 (open source edition)
* Add a "reset" starting mode to delete all the content of the user directory (~/.drdivx2) and jobs
* Rewriting of the aspect ratio handling to support video upscaling (but not beyond profile limits)
* Allow the use of a /.drdivx2 directory to store the settings instead of ~/.drdivx2 (easier to debug)
