PySceneDetect v0.5.3

Release Notes

• Resolved long-standing bug where split-video command would duplicate certain frames at the beginning/end of the output (#93)
• This was determined to be caused by copying (instead of re-encoding) the audio track, causing extra frames to be brought in when the audio samples did not line up on a frame boundary (thank you @joshcoales for your assistance)
• Default behavior is to now re-encode audio tracks using the aac codec when using split-video (it can be overriden in both the command line and Python interface)
• Improved timestamp accuracy when using split-video command to further reduce instances of duplicated or off-by-one frame issues
• Fixed application crash when using the -l/--logfile argument

Known Issues

• Seeking through long videos is inefficient, causing the time and save-images command to take a long time to run. This will be resolved in the next release (see #98)
• The save-images command causes PySceneDetect to crash under Python 2.7 (see #174)
• Using detect-threshold with a statsfile causes PySceneDetect to crash (see #122)
• Variable framerate videos are not supported properly currently (#168), a warning may be added in the next release to indicate when a VFR video is detected, until this can be properly resolved (#168)
• Videos with multiple audio tracks may not work correctly, see this comment on #179 for a workaround using ffmpeg or mkvmerge
