[Theora] Thoggen 0.2 released

[Tim Müller]

Hi,

Thoggen 0.2 has just been released. Get it from:

 http://thoggen.net/download/

In addition to the source tarball there is also a .deb package for debian sid 
available.

------------------------
 What is Thoggen?
------------------------

Thoggen is a DVD backup utility ('DVD ripper') for Linux, based on Gtk+ and 
GStreamer. It creates ogg/theora video files and features an extremely easy 
and intuitively to use interface. Thoggen supports picture cropping and 
resizing.

----------------------------
 Major Changes in 0.2
----------------------------

 * New features:
    - Language selection for audio track
    - Pausing/Unpausing of encoding possible
    - DVD drive detection for 2.4 kernels
    - Choice of quality or file-size target
    - Check free disk space before encoding
       and regularly during encoding; pause
       automatically just before running out
       of disk space.

 * Improved DVD drive and medium detection:
    - should work for Linux 2.4 kernels now
    - fixed DVD disc detection for some cases
    - do media check polling ourselves if
       required
    - check THOGGEN_DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE environment
       variable (for non-Linux kernels, or if the
       existing detection methods fail).

 * Configuration dialog improvements:
    - restore previously used filename 
       for same title

 * Use slightly less memory and renice 
    at startup, so that thoggen only
    uses CPU cycles that are not needed 
    for more important things.

 * Preview right title in case where some of
    the titles on the DVD have been hidden.
