v2.52 b01:
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/gspot252dl.html¤ Fixed exception violation ("crash") issues exhibited by, in particular, v2.51b2, which often overran an internal data buffer. The current version has been "road-tested" with over 2000 media files (No exception violations occurred while examining any of the test files, nor on the render tests performed on a subset of them, except for this outstanding issue: an exception appears to occur upon exiting GSpot, if 1) a "GSpot video render" test was previously performed, and 2) the test was successful, and 3) the test involved a VFW type codec. The exception is caused by an invalid pointer supplied by the O/S, so it's not a simple fix; the issue is currently being evaluated).
¤ Added 16:9 anamorphic support (for target and/or source) in the resizing information function. Also added ability to select different target sizes for "AVI" (i.e. 1:1 PAR) targets.
¤ Reorganized the GUI layout. See screenshot.
¤ Added support for parsing information from the optional MPEG-2 "sequence display extension". When available, the "display" height and width are shown, as well as the color space mapping matrix (which may be useful only to a few video techno-geek users out there ;)
¤ Added support for identifying so-called "packed bitstreams", an MPEG-4 construct sometimes used DivX 5.x and other MPEG-4 streams contained in an AVI file. The information is displayed as text in the "container" section; additionally a new indicator labeled "NVOP", as these constructs are informally called, with the other MPEG-4 indicators.
¤ Finally "restored" the ability to find the details of the codecs and other filters, as well as the mediatypes involved, when the "MS" (Microsoft DirectShow) render function is used (see Figure 1 below). The word "restored" is in reference to the fact that older v2.21 had similar capability, albeit more limited than the information now available in this version.
ЗЫ Ну и фейс у него... :D

Красивая картинка, показывающая, что такое загадочный "Split" в авишках:
http://gspot.headbands.com/notes/split-frame/6. What does "split" audio mean? "Split" means that some audio frames are split across interleaves, i.e. part of the audio frame resides in one chunk and the remainder of it is in another, with a video chunk in between. See diagram. On v2.5 beta the wording is "audio split across interleaves" or "audio aligned on interleaves", which should help to make it clearer. I'm not making any claims about the relative merit of one scheme vs. the other, but it does seem important enough to report.
From what I've seen, Nandub splits AC3, but not MP3(CBR or VBR). VirtualDubMod splits AC3, but does not split CBR MP3. It splits VBR MP3 if you answer "yes" to the question about allowing it to "rewrite the header" Otherwise it doesn't. And AVIMuxGUI never splits anything.
