CloneBD 1.3.2 + Portable

- Fix: incorrect bitrate limiter could randomly cause very low quality output
- Fix: m2ts output PMT randomly missing streams
- a few minor fixes and improvements

- improved: HEVC encoder - better Windows 32-bit plus XP, Vista support
- improved: Intel hardware acceleration stability
- changed: nVidia hardware AVC encoder adds VUI information
- fixed: fields interlaced PAL
- improved: HEVC parsing
- fixed: exceptions caused by invalid PMT (corrupted source data)

- Fix: added correct UHD lossless profile for partial disc copy (previously caused failures due to improper mux rate)
- Fix: allow removal of source disc while creating an ISO or burning to a disc in another drive.
- Fix: correctly identify outdated v1.00 playlist format
- Fix: aspect ratio of MKV files if SAR is not 1:1
- Fix libx264 8-bit encoding on x86 machines
- Fix typo: CloneBD displayed 4:3 aspect ratio as 4:2
- Fix: progressbar would not operate correctly on complete copies with angle support
- Fix: auto-selection of audio/subtitle languages at playback time on partial copies could be incorrect,
if multiple tracks of the same language are present

New: support frame packed 3D (MVC) in MKV files lossless and lossy
Important note: only a few PC-players support this 3D format, including PowerDVD 16 or higher, Kodi - only a few linux version and Stereoscopic Player,
Also, lossless MVC don't properly work with PowerDVD, reencoded copies work fine.
For now, only software de-/encoding is possible and is fairly slow.
New: added setting to eject source disc after processing
Change: security update for ElbyCDIO.sys
New: preview player allows to switch display between 2D and SBS formats (R/L view can be used for "squinting eyes 3D" for quick verification)
Change: for lossless copies, remove the beaver from the preview, this was confusing because users thought, it would show up in the copy as well
Improve: display correct bitrates/output sizes when encoding MVC output
Fix: user interface - switching between 2D and MVC output sometimes left HEVC codec disabled (greyed out)
Workaround: Windows MediaFoundation Parser bug (Windows Media Player/"Movies & TV") couldn't parse MKV files, that were created with "extra track for forced subtitles"
Fix: NTSC non-telecine incorrectly detected as telecined so field splitting failed
Fix: size estimator is off, when many picture in picture streams and an over-abundance of subtitles is in the source
Fix: write global header, when converting VC-1 video AVC/MKV
Fix: secondary DTS audio (picture in picture)

Fix: Further support for 192 kHz/96 kHz Dolby Atmos discs
Fix: Further support for some audio discs (LPCM, 24-bit, 192 kHz)
Fix: Correctly output big-endian audio samples (was little-endian)
Fix: Better AVC video encoding settings to support more standard players
Fix: Further support for usually Japanese BD recorders (pseudo BDMV format)
Fix: Correctly decode VC-1 color space, cropping area
Fix: Preview playback of VC-1 tracks
Change: Reduced required memory footprint
