[Matroska] Much improved mkv2vfr utility now handles AVC video and correctly writes AVI files larger than 2GB, it is now included in the splitter package. [OGM] Added support for a couple of other ancient versions of the format. [DXR] A couple of bugfixes.

• 18/08/2005 [General] Fix occasional errors in subtitle switching that appeared in the previous build.
• 15/08/2005 [MP4] Added support for QT files with 5.1 AAC audio. [Matroska] Improved mode2cd support.
• 02/08/2005 [General] Buffering code rewrite, this should eliminate the occasional problems introduced in recent versions.
• 31/07/2005 [General] Map wmv3 to WMV3 fourcc in avi, so wm9 video works. Bitrate graph should be more accurate now, and labels are scaled to display dpi. Changed queue sizes so they try to use the entire file buffer.
• 18/07/2005 [General] Fixed wrong rgb order in jpeg reader.
• 18/07/2005 [Matroska] Show the first jpeg attachment as video if the file has no video tracks. [General] Eliminated a crash in ffdshow when switching video tracks and/or segments.

Removed AVI compatibility transforms from mp4 parser, and unified native mpeg-4 asp code in matroska and mp4 parsers. This was required for correct rendering of vfr streams and native mpeg-4 asp in Matroska. Native mpeg-4 asp is tested and works with ffdshow and nero decoders, xvid and divx decoders probably won't work due to a different format block. Warning: mkvmerge versions before 2005-06-12 have bugs in native mpeg-4 asp processing.

• 19/04/2005 Fix VOL patching when ext AR was already present.
• 18/04/2005 Handle one more case of VOL changing.
• 17/04/2005 MPEG4 ASP and AVC pixel aspect ratio values in the bitstream are now replaced with Matroska DAR. Other containers are left as is.
  Some backgound: I've spent this weekend dealing with aspect ratio issues due to (not so) recent decoder changes. DirectShow has a standard way of passing aspect ratio in the VIDEOINFOHEADER2 structure that is stored inside media type. Unfortunately, for this to work, these values need to passed right from the splitter down the filter chain. MPEG-2/4 bitstreams also have a way to store aspect ratio. Usually decoders simply passed on the AR info provided by the splitter and all worked fine. Buf recently some of them were changed to ignore media type AR info, and instead take AR from mpeg bitstream. This results in breaking playback for many existing matroska files, where PAR in bitstream is usually 1:1, and correct AR is in the container. To workaround this, I now modify mpeg bitstream on the fly and set PAR to values calculated from Matroska DAR.
• 17/04/2005 [Matroska] Minor parsing fixes. [General] Patch avc sps to always use AR info from container, not from bitstream (fixes ffdshow ignoring container AR).
