DVDStyler extends slideshow support

Alex Thuring has released DVDStyler 2.6, the latest revision of his open-source video DVD authoring tool for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Previous editions have been able to create video slideshows from your chosen images. DVDStyler improves on this by adding support for a few transitions -- fade in/ out, and four wipes -- as well as allowing you to loop your slideshow audio.

FFmpeg improvements include support for audio filters, and an update to FFmpeg 2.0.1.

The command line interface now includes the additional options "temp", "iso" and "device".

The release is rounded off with a few bug fixes, which resolve issues covering Unicode file names in Windows, upmixing audio to 5.1, and calculating border sizes correctly to preserve the correct aspect ratio.

DVDStyler 2.6 and DVDStyler Portable 2.6 are available for download now.
