There is few news on this blog in recent months. But it does not mean that I am not working. After finishing my wedding in December 2010, I have kept working on the next major release of MediaCoder. There are several new exciting features I must mention here before the release.

• MediaCoder Dropbox (the new user customizable simplistic UI)
• Stereoscopic 3D video encoding
• Batch image conversion (supporting major image formats as well as MPO the 3D image format)
• Decoding video into image sequence
• Encoding image squence to video with effects
• Folder watcher feature
• Features for fully automated transcoding
• Improved automatic thumbnail generation
• Image overlay and improved de-logo
• VP8 encoding support
• Viewing live video and statistics of transcoding remotely via web browser (when transcoding from webcam, MediaCoder can be a cam server)

The next release to be versioned as MediaCoder 2011 will hopefully be released before the Chinese new year (early Feb). So stay tuned!

这两个月一直在忙于MediaCoder 2011的开发。新版本会包含很多新特性，在这先透露一些：

• MediaCoder Dropbox (极简新界面，用户可定制)
• 立体3D视频编码
• 批量图片转换(支持各种主流图片格式以及3D图片格式MPO)
• 将视频解码成图片序列
• 将图片序列编码成视频，可加过度效果
• 文件夹监视功能
• 自动化转码功能
• 改进的自动缩略图生成功能
• 图片水印和去水印功能
• VP8编码支持
• 通过浏览器远程查看转码画面和统计数据

如果进展顺利，MediaCoder 2011会在农历新年前发布，请大家保持关注。
