OK and Cancel behaviors on brightness/contrast video filter were swapped.
Fixed crash when loading 8-bit RLE videos.
D3D: Works again on video cards supporting less than pixel shader 3.0.
Added setting value back to sharpen video filter configuration dialog.
Fixed trippy gradient displays when trying to show a solid color for the dummy frame at the end (some display drivers don't handle 1x1 blits correctly).
Capture: Left-click start option works again.

Changes for v1.7.1 Experimental build 27021 - v1.71 Experimental build 27700

Fixed interlaced field DirectDraw display with planar YCbCr formats.
The "smart rendering" option could cause a missing codec error even if the video mode was set to Direct.
Added workaround for BlackMagic MJPEG codec not producing key frames.
Added workaround for update problems with the Direct3D and OpenGL display modes in Windows Vista.
Capture: Fixed crash when attempting to use "remove duplicate frames" feature of screencap driver on a 3D card that didn't support occlusion query.
Capture: Fixed crash in screencap driver on 3D cards that don't support buffer objects.
Capture: Fixed bugs in screencap driver's rescale function.
[regressions fixed]
Fixed inaccurate length field in WAV header.

Fixed crash when creating batch jobs with certain Pinnacle video codecs.
Fixed crash when reading top-down BMP files.
Added workaround for crash on startup on some Windows 98/ME machines.

Changes for v1.6.17 Build 24469 - v1.16.18 Build 24473

Changes for v1.6.16 - v1.6.17 Build 24469

bugs fixed
Fixed divide by zero crash when Direct3D display is enabled and a video pane is shrunken to zero width.
UYVY video streams were being reported as RGB16.
Direct3D display minidriver didn't clip properly when the image was zoomed larger than the screen.
regressions fixed
Capture: Reverted change in rendering strategy for DirectShow filter graphs in order to fix field problems with ATI devices.
Capture: Fixed crash when capturing video only using a VFW driver.

Changes for v1.9.1.31536 Experimental Build - v1.9.1.31953 Experimental Build

[features added]
UI: Added support for configuring keyboard shortcuts in edit mode.
UI: Added Always on Top to window menu.
Filters: Filter cropping dialog is now resizable.
Filters: Added align-to-2 option in resize filter.
Filters: ELA and Yadif modes of deinterlace filter are now optimized for CPUs that have MMX but lack SSE2.
Filters: The filter preview window now has the same context menu size and filter options as the main panes.
Filters: Frame conversions at the start of a video filter are now cached.
Filters: Fixed rare crash when downsizing 8-bit YCbCr images with resize filter.
Filters: Improved frame allocator assignment for lower memory usage.
Filters: Added field delay filter.
Render: Added an option to warn if no audio is written on a save operation.
Render: Fixed several blitter bugs, particularly those involving 4:1:1 sampling.
[bugs fixed]
Preferences: Audio buffers value was set incorrectly exiting the dialog. The value show when the dialog appears was correct.
Filters: Fixed positioning issues in the filter cropping dialog for small frame sizes.
Filters: Filters now receive finite mFrameCount values in render mode instead of unspecified (-1).
Filters: Yadif mode of deinterlace filter was not caching internal frames efficiently.
Filters: Fixed crash in certain paths when a filter frame request fails.
Filters: Fixed occasional crashes with aligned scanline requests, particularly with cropping.
Filters: Fixed artifacts in resize filter on right border with certain filter+ratio combos, pre-SSE4.1 CPUs, and YCbCr formats.
Capture: Custom video format had HDYC listed twice instead of HDYC and v210.
Images: Fixed hang in PNG encoder.
Render: Added workaround for random hang when aborting render while using XviD with threaded compression enabled.
AMD64: Fixed crash in resampler with certain filter/ratio combinations.
[regressions fixed]
UI: Timeline scrubbing is more responsive again when dealing with files that have long delta frame runs (since 1.9.1).
Render: Fixed hang if there is a string of duplicate frames longer than the video pipeline (since 1.9.1).
Filters: Fixed some caching and frame numbering issues with filters that have non-zero lag (since 1.9.1).
