A-DAPT Changelog

1.4.0.5 Released: 28/03/2025

Bug Fixes

  • Export Crash On Long Videos
    A bug was introduced from the re-implementation of the player causing A-DAPT to crash when exporting video of extended length such as 1hr or more. Fixed
  • X,Y Coordinate
    The X,Y coordination was not updating when you move around the frame image. Fixed
  • i9 CPU
    Some users reported that the new player failed to load, likely due to how instructions were handled on the latest Intel i9 CPUs. To address this, new code was implemented to fine-tune the timing of command execution. Initial tests indicate that this fix has successfully resolved the issue. Fixed
  • Compare In/Out
    A bug was introduced causing compare In/Out not reflected the selected In/Out markers. Fixed
  • HikVision Audio
    A bug was introduced causing A-DAPT to ignore audio stream for HikVision videos. Fixed
  • Audio Wave Stream Viewer
    A bug was introduced causing all copying to clipboards rendering a small image instead their actual screen size. Fixed
  • Auto Scrolling GOP
    The GOP map was only scrolling left to right NOT up and down. Fixed

New Features

  • Current View to Clipboard
    The updated “Current View to Clipboard” feature introduces a new layout. When metadata is included, the text will now appear at the bottom of the frame. Histogram information will only be included if the Adjustments window is open. Additionally, the histogram visualization has been repositioned to the right side of the frame, set against a gray background to enhance visibility. This change lays the groundwork for the upcoming “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) output feature, which will be introduced in the final major update for this version of A-DAPT.

  • New Playback Engine
    The engine that drives the player has been redesigned. It is now better equipped to handle higher-resolution videos, such as 4K and 5K sources. Additionally, it has been optimized to run on lower-spec systems, including i5 CPUs.
  • Correcting Improperly encoded PTS/DTS headers
    Some encoders, either due to poor implementation or laziness, only provide DTS data, leaving PTS to be processed by the decoder. This affects timing calculations because the data may be incomplete and must be interpreted by the decoder. For example, it could result in valid frames being skipped due to an uncommon ordering. Before playback, you will be prompted with the option to correct this mis-encoding.

  • New Duration Calculation Layout The new layout has a graphic showing the selected range. You can also enter a distance value to get the speed calculations.

      Bug Fixes

      • Playback Issues on Interlaced Videos

      • Lossless Trim with Audio
        A-DAPT was not accounting for audio stream when exporting lossless trims .Fixed
      • Playback Video with Errors
        Some video can have corrupted codecs causing playback issue for A-DAPT. Code was added to account for these situations so playback wouldn’t get stuck. Fixed
      • Video Stacking
        The ability to stack videos has been restored. Fixed

      • Calculate Audio Duration
        When performing an audio duration calculation between two markers, the calculation window does not show the full content. This window is now resizable to enable users to adjust its size to see the complete content.Fixed

      A-DAPT 1.3.2.35 Released: 20/11/24

      Bug Fixes

      • Sluggish Playback
        Users with i5 CPU are reporting sluggish playback on some videos. This is due to the limitation of how many threads the processor can handle. A-DAPT now backs off on the threads during play back of videos on i5 CPUs. Fixed

       

      New Features

      • Transcode to H265 (Lossless or Lossy)
        If your computer has nVidia GPU, you will have the option to transcode to lossless H265 codec inside a MP4 container. Be prepare for the file size to be very large. Also, lossless only works if you’re going from and to the same color space (YUV-YUV).Transcoding to H265

      A-DAPT 1.3.2.34 Released: 06/11/24
      • Normalizing Variable Frame Rates
        This feature allows you to convert variable frame rate to constant frame rate videos by padding or removing frame to satisfy the desired rate. This feature will also convert proprietary videos where VLC/Media Player can’t play due to unsupported codec to a format that is universally viewable.Normalizing Frame Rates Option

      New Features

      • In/Out Markers
        The player now retains In/Out markers.

         

        • Timecode Display
          You can display frame timecode. This time code can be either parsed by A-DAPT or user entered.

        • T-Frame Identification

          Some codec stores video in chunks: visual and timing. Each timing data chunk contains a timecode and a reference to frame visual data chunk. Together they form a presentation frame during playback. A-DAPT will report both timecode and video frame for this type of implementation to align with the native format.

        • FFprobe frame analysis vs A-DAPT frame analysis

        • Rewrap with Audio
          When re-wrapping video containing unsupported audio, A-DAPT will auto transcode the audio stream so that it would satisfy the container constraint.
        • Transcode with Audio Sync
          When transcoding variable rate video containing audio, A-DAPT will auto adjust the timing of both streams to assure synchronization.

        New Features

        • Vidsec LLC Parser
          Added the ability to parse WVA formats. Current implementation parses the duration date and time data. Next release will parse entire format and will include presentation frame records rather than storage frame records which would align with the implementation of its native player.
