Software Updates

OK, between trying to review the PCH C-200 and trying to do a server restore on my DIY WHS (more to come on that later) I have been swamped and writing has been slow. I hope after this weekend things shoudl go back to normal…

For now, looks like some of my favorite programs have all released an update today:

Clown_BD – Version 0.71 just released

Changelog:

• Fixed GUI force subtitles. Thanks to GODU for posting logs.I didn’t notice this myself, as generally I use BATCH mode.

AnyDVD & AnyDVD HD – Version 6.5.8.7 just released

Changelog:

• New: Dialogs are now visible even if Vista / Windows 7 media center is running
• New: Language files are now validated when loaded. Errors are reported in the logfile. Incorrectly formatted language files could cause AnyDVD to crash.

• New (DVD): Improved RCE detection & removal
• Fix (Blu-ray): Region free BD discs could be reported as region “C”
• Fix (DVD): All ifo patches are now done after AI scanner, because otherwise AI scanner couldn’t examine the disc “as is” and state files could be wrong if user changes settings between scans
