We’ve just released BeamLab 1.2.1! In this minor release, we’ve replaced the optional parameter VideoFileFormat with the new, more flexible parameter VideoProfile, which enables you to use all video profiles supported by the MATLAB^® function VideoWriter:

• 'Archival': Motion JPEG 2000 with lossless compression
• 'Motion JPEG AVI' (default): AVI with Motion JPEG encoding
• 'Motion JPEG 2000': Motion JPEG 2000
• 'MPEG-4': MPEG-4 with H.264 encoding
• 'Uncompressed AVI': Uncompressed AVI with RGB24 video
• 'Indexed AVI': Uncompressed AVI with indexed video
• 'Grayscale AVI': Uncompressed AVI with grayscale video

Furthermore, this new release contains also a couple of small bug fixes such as wrong titles in figures generated by modesolver and erroneous phase shifts of the field at the interface between two different media.
