1.264 (01/30/2025)

Notes

Reminder that support for Google Compute Engine or Azure Compute is not supported in this release, but will be re-enabled with the 1.265 release (Google and Azure storage are not affected)

Features

• Added support for setting the NAME value for closed caption tracks in HLS outputs
• When transcoding to BWF targets and using audio filters such as loudness normalization, loudness metadata will no longer be embedded from a preceding analyze task; a method for automatically setting loudness metadata when using audio filters will be available in a future release
• Improvements to PDF reports for PSE analysis to add color coding for issues, sort issues by start time, improved section header titles, and option to include/exclude raw results

Fixes

• Resolved potential “out of memory” error when deinterlace filter is used with certain progressive sources
• Updated default behavior for maintain_source_frame_rate in the deinterlace filter to match behavior that changed in 1.263: maintain_source_frame_rate defaults to true when motion_compensation is false, and defaults to false when motion_compensation is true
• Resolved issue with encoder_log feature where logs would not be written if the target filename contained placeholders; this issue still affects segmented rendering workflows, which will be resolved in a future release
• Resolved error when analyzing or rendering long (greater than 4 hours) Atmos ADM BWF sources
• Resolved slow transcode speed with certain stitching configurations
• Resolved issue where specified color_primaries and color_matrix were not being set in output when using the MainConcept MPEG2 encoder
• Resolved job failures in dolby_audio_encoder task when using DAMF sources with filenames containing whitespace at beginning or end, very long filenames, and .atmos files containing paths to .audio and .metadata files with double quotes
