No more flickering, no more ugly padding, black bars... we're getting
sexy, aren't we?
what is it?
===========
Take photos and videos with your webcam, with fun graphical effects
what's changed in 2.27.3?
=========================
- Set default resolution to the highest one with a non jerky (higher than
15fps) framerate, fixes bug #585857
- Lower max-delay and max-page-delay oggmux properties from 5 to 0.5
seconds. Should prevent out of sync audio in recorded videos and
hopefully fix bug #585761
- Don't access effects string after free. This was causing the first effect
stored in gconf to not be restored at startup, fixes bug 584186
- Get rid of GtkAspectFrame, it doesn't really suit our needs, it hardcodes
an aspect ratio that obviously cannot be valid for every format webcams
support. Render the video directly to the drawing area with no external
aspect ratio restriction. Eventually fixes bug #559188 since the
aspectframe was adding some extra padding between the video and the window
border.
- Almost every available gstreamer videosink can display black bars around
the video keeping its aspect ratio. Enable it if available.
Black bars look a lot nicer than the grey color of the underlying
gtkwindow displayed with the aspectframe.
- Properly forward expose events to GstXOverlay.
- Avoid ugly flickering on window resize. Let gstxoverlay take full control
of the drawing area window. Prevent gtk from drawing the background and
remove the flickering caused by its internal double buffering.
- Remove initial black bars (at least for 4:3 webcams). Set a default window
size that fits nicely the video aspect ratio so that black bars are not
drawn until a manual resize.
