Megui Video Preview question.

[qt4eva]

Hey everyone, I have a quick question. You know when you open an AVS file in Megui and it open up the Video Preview. Is there a way to disable that video preview popup? It kinda annoying to keep having to close it if you have to encode like 50 movie clips. Thanks

[RunningSkittle]

yes, in the options

[qt4eva]

ok. I see the option, but it is grayed out.. how do i uncheck that option?

[Sharktooth]

it's no longer possible since some time coz the preview is necessary to pass the aspect ratio to the encoder.
the option to disable it was grayed out/disabled on purpouse.

Then mention that as a note next to the option. Not everyone uses the AR feature of MeGUI.

[Sharktooth]

it was mentioned in the changelog. it's also a temporary workaround until we find another way to solve the problem.

[Avenger007]

Although disabling it is a temporary workaround, it's not the only possibility. I'm simply suggesting another option with minimal inconvenience to the user. :)

[Sharktooth]

yes, it is, otherwise (if the preview is disabled by the options) the AR wont be passed to the encoder and ppl will whine about it... so the option was disabled.
clicking a button to close it, is not so inconvenient... until we find a real solution.

[qt4eva]

so there is absolutely no way around it huh? I remember it was possible to disable it a couple months back.. anyway it not that big of a deal if you just encoding a dvd or something, but I myself encode clips so usually I have like 30+ avs files to import at a time so it is a little inconvenient.

[Sharktooth]

no. no way to disable it, yet. read again what i wrote.

[edtchie]

I have a trcik to disable it and nothing went wrong in my encoding. Does this means anything?

@edtchie: Care to share your trick?

@shark: No, it is probably not a big hassle with sufficient screen resolution, but my encoding machine has a very old monitor with a resolution of 1280*1024. If I load an AVS with a resolution of 720p, it actually is a little tricky to close the window since I can only see the left quarter of the [X]. No, it is still not a BIG deal, but it worked fine until a couple of weeks ago, and I too would appreciate a way to disable the AR check (if that is what requires this)

Thanks a lot for your hard work
