AviUtl v1.00 + Extra Pack v1.14

This release is a temporary fix for broken download of FFmpeg and iTune. This installer now gets all the files from a dedicated Dropbox. This is safer but also means update will be less frequent until I find an automated solution.

Moved x264 and x265 download sources from 3rd party sites to dedicated dropbox server.

Архив повреждён, исправьте пожалуйста.

Since this version (1.11), I’m moving to an installer-based distribution format. This move has several reasons:

Easier to maintain
User can choose what to install
Bilingual (This installer can install both Japanese and English version!)
Automatic LargeAddressAware support to relieve memory stress
Reduce confusion on audio encoder setting and qaac dependency
Reduce confusion on 4K-video support
Hide components on machine with unsupported hardware to reduce error chance
Easier to update L-SMASH (Works) and encoder GUIs without making a new release

Differences from EP 1.10

VCEEnc for AMD machine is dropped. There has been no development activity on this plugin for more than a whole year.
You will need to review the paths for x264, x265 and FFmpeg in the encoder GUIs.
Apple Application Support will be installed automatically when choosen to install qaac audio encoder.
L-SMASH, L-SMASH Works and the encoder GUIs(Japanese version only) will be updated around once per month. Just re-run the installer.
A few new effects: 3d custom flare, trump card. Please visit videohelp.com ‘s AviUtl support thread for details and sample files
All license and readme files placed in a single folder

== Summary ==
This pack is mainly about plugin optimizations. All dependencies on ImageMagick have been removed! Some of the original features have been replaced by new plugins that utilize Intel IPP and Cilk. The new version of L-Smash Works file reader now provides MUCH better support for Variable-Frame-Rate video. Old WMV8 files should now have little problem on A/V-sync. Note that the Direct GIF Export lugin (DGE2)may have problem saving settings to INI. So ALWAYS check the settings at the first GIF encode after you launched AviUtl. DGE2 now implements ordered dither in the "Correct Way", with far less clipping and preserves a lot more details. In exchange, the encoded GIF is considerably larger.

** IMPORTANT NOTE **
You MUST set the FULL ABSOLUTE PATH to gifsicle.exe (included in ./3rdParty folder) for optimization to work!

***Notice on AAC Encoder ***
=============================
Nero AAC Codec seems no longer available on Nero’s English site,
but still available on Taiwan and Japan’s sites.
Due to uncertainty around this encoder, the qaac encoder is introduced.
To use this encoder, you need to first install iTune or QuickTime.
Then in the Encoder GUIs, choose the qaac encoder option.

== Common Changes ==

but that does not affect actual encoding

* When encoding to HEVC, please mux to MKV instead of MP4. The default mp4 muxer cannot mux HEVC into mp4.

Upgrade instruction
==================

Existing users of Extra Pack 1.4[Win7] do not need to upgrade unless you want to try out the 10bit encoding stuff. Otherwise…
Unzip the archive into a new folder;
Copy NeroAACEnc.exe(if any) to the new installation inside .exe_files
Copy user-defined encoder presets from .Pluginsxxxx_stg from old AviUtl directory to corresponding folders in the new installation (if any)
Copy any user-created EXO or EXA over to the new installation (if any)
Common Changes
===================

L-Smash Works (import plugin) updated to v709
x265GuiEx updated and translated to English
Minor Interface translation changes
Updated x264 and included 10bit binary
Upgraded “Chapter Editing” (with silence segment search function and time update function when cutting the original video)
Encoder GUIs included the option to use FFMPEG’s native AAC encoder
Win7 Pack Changes
==================

Included “MotionTracking MK-I” (SSE2/Static version; AVX/DLL version can be obtained from HERE)
Included x265 binaries for 8bit(x86) and 10bit(x64) encoding
Included mkvmerge v6.2 for muxing x265
Removed x264GuiEx since it is now integrated into x265GuiEx. (Click on the [x265] button on top right to switch between the x264 and x265 modes)
WinXP Pack Changes
===================

Removed VCEEnc and x265 binaries
(if you have an x265 encoder v0.7+170[with stdin] or newer that works on XP, you can set it in the GUI and use it)

EN-Mod Changes
=================

Now act as a minimal pack without plugins(except exedit). So users do not need to change the UI language manually

Other Notes
============

The x264 and x265(8bpp) binaries included are 32bit versions. Feel free to replace them with 64bit versions if you are running 64bit Windows.

однако теперь Maverick Tse дал возможность лицезреть сей инструмент полностью на Английском языке, а это уже хорошо

IMPORTANT CHANGE
====================

NeroAAC encoder binary has been removed from this distribution after discovering its license prohibit re-distribution.

Please choose “fdk-aac”(actually ffmpeg’s libvo_aacenc) as audio encoder, or download NeroAAC Encoder from official site yourself (http://www.nero.com/enu/company/about-nero/nero-aac-codec.php)

Additions
====================

>Denoiser: Wavelet(and setting helper), NL-Means Light (and for GPU), Ringing Canceller, Chroma denoiser

>Restoration: Delogo, ImasUncaption (hard-coded subtitle remover)

>LUA Scripts: AutoTarget100 (~SureTarget in AE), Skydome (~Horizon in AE), Multi-color gradient, Cylinder Mapping with cross-sectioning, Thunder, Rainbow, sepia noise and many others.
[For usage, please investigate the included Sample projects (.aup files in the "SamplePrj" folder)]

>Expanded file type support for Drag-and-Drop (Adv.Editing)

Minor Changes
===================

>In L-Smash import plugin, changed AVS bit-depth to 16

>Removed x265-10bit binaries. (If anyone can get AviUtl working correctly with x265-10bit, please inform me.)

>Updated FFmpeg

>Rearranged video filter order due to expansion of plugins. Please revise the order yourself if you find something not working as expected.

>All components, except x265Gui, should now be displaying GUI in English

This version mainly addressed a bug after English localization:

Playback cursor in Adv.Editing panel not in sync with the playback/preview window.

Other minor changes:

Added drag-and-drop support for AviSynth script (*.avs) for Advanced Editing.
Added more samples in the figure folder.

Bug Details:

In the AUL file, I have named a window as “Preview window”, while in exedit.auf, I have translated the same (hard-coded) Japanese text into “Playback window”. Somehow the cursor in Adv.Editing panel requires these two text to be exactly the same (case sensitive) in order to work. So the bugfix is to change the corresponding text in the AUL.

Updated Components
