What's new in this version:

Video
- updated libx264 (revision 2146)
- MPEG-2 encoder (from libavcodec)
- advanced options support for libavcodec encoders format

Audio
- audio gain control (increase/decrease audio volume)
- updated libogg (1.3.0) and libvorbis (aoTuV b6.03)
- new AAC encoder (from libavcodec) (considered experimental) (supported mixdowns: Mono/Stereo/Dolby, 5.1 will come later) (should be on par with faac in terms of quality, sometimes better)
- FLAC encoder (16-bit, MKV container only)
- Mac OS X: HE-AAC encoding support, via Core Audio
- quality-based variable bitrate encoding support works with: Lame MP3, Vorbis, Core Audio AAC only implemented in CLI and Linux GUI
- AC3 encoder: set Dolby Surround flag in stream parameters when mixdown is Dolby Surround or Pro Logic II

Audio Passthru
- DTS Passthru to MP4 container (in addition to MKV) (supported by e.g. VLC, MPlayer)
- DTS-HD Passthru (MP4, MKV containers)
- MP3 Passthru (MP4, MKV containers)
- AAC Passthru (MP4, MKV containers) (known issue: Magic Cookie not passed through from MPEG Program/Transport streams, which will break playback in e.g. QuickTime Player)
- Auto Passthru: one encoder, multiple codecs lets you define allowed codecs (from supported passthru codecs) lets you pick a fallback encoder if passthru is not possible

Muxers
- start MKV clusters with a video keyframe whenever possible should improve seeking and DLNA streaming
- bug fix: use ISO 639-2 bibliographic form for MKV language codes
- bug fix: fix crash due to division by zero in MP4 muxer
- bug fix: fix muxing of Closed Captions. Improper interleaving broke playback on some players
