    I'm pleased to announce
        that version 2 of vdr-convert has been released over at https://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/vdr-convert.
    There are several
        significant new features:

      
      * Option to convert to H265/HEVC via new -v switch, with potential
      for file size 1/2 of H264, 1/4 of MPEG2
     * Multiple format options in single-use/batch modes via -f flag:
      avi, mkv, mp4, mov, m2ts, ts, aac, m4a and mp3 
     
    * A new debug function facilitated testing and the creation of an
      extensive player/format/stream compatibility matrix at:

         https://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/vdr-convert/wiki/Wiki#Compatibility

      "In summary, some players are good for almost all formats, and
        if you don't need subtitles or automatic aspect ratio switching,
        most players will play most formats"  
    * Added support for Fraunhofer AAC codec and libmp3lame codec for
      mp3 via new -a switch

      
      * Added automatic conversion of AC3/DTS streams in VDR1.x
      recordings (thanks for sample recording contributions from this
      list)

      
      * Added automatic conversion of editing marks to .edl files for
      Kodi, mplayer in single-use mode

      
      * Info, warn and error criticality for different types of problems
      + optional email at criticality "error"

      
      * Conversion runtime + realtime/runtime ratio logged
    * Wiki extensively updated with new options at https://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/vdr-convert/wiki

    
     +Various other fixes and improvements; todo's cleared

    
    Enjoy!
    Richard
