- x #B775, AVI: AVI can use negative height for raw to signal that it's coded top-down, not bottom-up
- x #B780, MPEG-TS: crash with some files having PAT/PMT change between begin and end of the file
- x #B782, PBCore 1.2: some fields were not in the right order
- x #B784, some humain readable strings were not removed when the corresponding field is removed
- x #B787, MPEG-4/QuickTime: Erratic appereance of Bitrate Mode
- x #B798: setlocale() remove from DLL
- x #B785, DVCPRO HD: streams can be 8 or 10 bit, removing hard coded value from DV parser (MXF header value is used instead when applicable)
- x MPEG-4: wrong demux of some E-AC-3 streams
- x AAC: detection of HE-AACv2 was missing if the library is configured with fast detection
- x MPEG Video: wrong computing of duration of raw stream in case of drop frame time code
- x Automation, StreamKind type was set to integer, it is text
- x MPEG-4: was reading lot of useless bytes from disk when the raw stream format is not known
- x AVI: crash with some malformed text streams
- x Reference/playlist files were not supported from FTP (custom builds only)
- x MPEG-4/MOV: ScanOrder was using "stored" value instead of "displayed" value
