	                   also, lossless MVC don't properly work with PowerDVD, reencoded copies work fine.
					   For now, only software de-/encoding is possible and is fairly slow.
- New: added setting to eject source disc after processing
- Change: security update for ElbyCDIO.sys
- New: preview player allows to switch display between 2D and SBS formats (R/L view can be used for "squinting eyes 3D" for quick verification)
- Change: for lossless copies, remove the beaver from the preview, this was confusing because users thought, it would show up in the copy as well
- Improve: display correct bitrates/output sizes when encoding MVC output
- Fix: user interface - switching between 2D and MVC output sometimes left HEVC codec disabled (greyed out)
- Workaround: Windows MediaFoundation Parser bug (Windows Media Player/"Movies & TV") couldn't parse MKV files, that were created with "extra track for forced subtitles"
- Fix: NTSC non-telecine incorrectly detected as telecined so field splitting failed
- Fix: size estimator is off, when many picture in picture streams and an over-abundance of subtitles is in the source
- Fix: write global header, when converting VC-1 video AVC/MKV
- Fix: secondary DTS audio (picture in picture)
- Fix: 2D playlists sometimes got hidden by their 3D counterparts
