View Full Version : meGUI order of events (encode audio before video)

I noticed that 0.2.4.1043 queues up audio jobs before video jobs by default while later release like 0.2.6.1008 puts the video jobs FIRST. Is there a way I can change this behavior in the newer releases?

I want to do it because I don't use constant bitrate audio files, I use both aacenc and oggenc in the variable bitrate (e.g. q=x) mode which doesn't give a nice round or predictable number for the resulting audio files like a CBR mode does. As you can imagine, this makes predicting a video bitrate impossible until AFTER I have the audio file.

Thanks for the suggestions all.

go to the Jobs tab and move the audio job before video job(s)

@sharktooth: I thought I tried that and it failed... don't the jobs xml files require a particular order to work correctly?

@sharktooth - You're correct. I did try this before with an earlier version of meGUI and got errors if memory serves me correctly. Thought it had something to do w/ the NextJobName flag but I could be totally wrong. Anyways, thanks for the reply.
