Happy Holidays to everyone! Cant believe 2007 is almost here.
We apologize for the negligence of support for the end of this month, it has been a very hectic month and we have had very little time to check or answer our emails. (or the support forum)

We have also been working on some custom projects for other companies so we have had minimal time to work on hawkeye and to finish PSP Commune. January will definitely be a month full of updates and we will answer all the backlog of support mail. We are very sorry, we aren’t ignoring anyone we just havent had enough time to do everything that needs to be done this month we hope everyone understands and we will do our best to make up for missed time.

On the positive side of things the custom projects we have been working on have given us some fantastic insight to new ways to redo and greatly improve hawkeye.

we also want to open up a dialog about requests for new features or fixes in hawkeye, after PSP commune is finally done hawkeye being redone is going to be our first priority so we want to make sure we can properly cater to everyone’s needs as best we can.

okay hawkeye 1.0.9v12 was released today. This release is mainly a bug fix release. The stuttering issue should be fixed, in addition hopefully the DVD to iPod crash issue has at least slightly (if not completely) improved. The Wii encoding should work but the quality is not quite up to par yet. DV importing now works as well.

okay i think we finally found at least one of the issues causing the iPod importing crash experienced by some users. we have never been able to replicate the crash but we did find something that could cause some problems. After a few more tweaks we’ll be releasing another update.
Sorry this (potential) fix took so long, sometimes you look at something so many times obvious flaws are overlooked.

**UPDATE

we may have made some headway on the jumpiness bug that has been reported for AVI->DVD encoding (it may affect input other than AVI, but thats mainly whats been reported as problematic)

there seemed to be a lot of rate control buffer underruns with some of the settings used but i think that has been resolved, doing some encodes overnight and then willl do some testing on both intel and ppc to see if there is any improvement
