+
+July 2000 Andrew Stevens
+ Trivial modifications to support catenated audio stremas and
+ non-intractive use.
+August 2000 Andrew Stevens
+ Modifed to support multiplexing of variable bit-rate
+ video streams. Seems to work well.
+August 2000 Andrew Stevens
+ Removed use of temporary files for storing stream data.
+ Increased performance through the use of a more efficient bitstream
+ library.
+ Eliminated arithmetic overflow errors for large streams.
+ Initial support for multiplexing variable bit-rate streams.
+
+Novermber 2000 Andrew Stevens
+ Clean up code to suit modern compilers with 64-bit int support.
+ Cleaned up packet size calculations to make the code more flexible.
+ Initial MPEG-2 support
+ Support for splitting output streams (not yet completely implemented)
+ Support for multiplexing for VCD.
+
+Jan 2001-
+
+ Reengineered in C++
+ Support for SVCD.
+ Support for basic DVD
+ VBR Audio as well as video.
