HCenc: HC_015A new version released

Hi,
There is a new HC version ;
http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Encoders/MPEG2/HC_015A.zip

Be carefull, it is named 015A even if in june there was a 015b (b like "beta" I guess).

Unique update is posibility of set point chapters. If it is useless for you it is not worth to update, taking in account that batch executable has a bug.

@Dialhot
Can you say me what is the utility of setting chapters points.
What authoring software does need it?

Theorically all. This is a requisite of MPEG.

You can't jump to a P or B frame. If you absolutly need to jump the the frame "xxx", then the frame xxx must be an I frame.
HC now, and encoder like Tmpgenc or CCE before, can be told where you absolutly want to have an I frame, in order to put a chapter point during authoring.

But if you don't bore to have the jump point that is some frame after the actual "xxx", then don't mind : all authoring tools jump to the next I frame if frame "xxx" is a P or a B.

Thanks for the update info Phil, much appreciated. :)
