I did not test Ripbot264, but I am doing it now. The first impressions is the font is too small to see. Played it for a few mins and my conclusion is you may be right, it meant to be for monkey. So I have to delete it form my HD. Not mean to be rude, it is not just what I am looking for.

Why don't you give ASXGui a try? Or perhaps you can give "MeGUI Patched" version another try too.

You were all upset and started a new website when Neuron had a go at you here and you complained about his attitude but let me tell you something...your attitude towards newbies stink... you know more about x264 than the average person...so what? Is that sufficient to take a "jab" at every single newbie...enough is enough...why do the mods let this go unpunished?

Megui easy? lol, Staxrip? (it used to be), the only understandble x264Gui nowadays is in my opinion asxGUI

@Buzzqw
Congrats on the GUI, finally a Simple GUI, this way we dont have to put up with the not so funny comments made by Shikari.

What does x264 have to do with it? You can make a bad x264 GUI or a good x264 GUI. Knowing about x264 hardly helps you use a bad GUI. I have no idea how to use MeGUI.

Where in the world did I flame this perfectly good simple GUI?

Stop putting words in my mouth. Attacking people is bad to begin with, but attacking them for things that they didn't even say is even stupider. Don't attack others for the splinters in their eyes when you're sitting on a pile of lumber.

Furthermore, stop trying to derail this thread. This is a perfectly good "simple GUI" and is by and large constructed correctly. It uses the Preset/Profile/Tune concept and isn't covered with custom x264 option checkboxes. There is no reason to fill this thread with stupid flames. If you want to whine at me, do it via PM.

1. That version of the GUI is outdated, use the default view: Click File - Use Wizard GUI. Much nicer interface.

2. Visual Crop is coming in 3.0, along with a few more visual processing capabilities.

3. Inverse Telecine is done by selecting "Deinterlace" and "Convert Frame Rate" this is explained in the Guide, and many files can be set to automatically detect telecining and check deinterlace and convert frame rate.

4. Not sure why the tabs are hidden. As I haven't used this version of the GUI regularly in over a year I don't usually pay too much attention to it when updating ASXGui. In fact, the "classic" interface will be gone as of 3.0. I'll fix the tabs in the next version (2.5) in case anybody still uses the classic gui, though I hope people will learn the other gui as I said, the classic gui will be gone in 3.0.

@Dark Shikari,
please stop pretending and dumb people down, its time that you stopeed that, and the messages in my inbox
from fellow users of this forum confirm what i said, please i repeat please stop your stinking attitude towards newbies if you feel you're too important to help them just politely shut up, whats the point of your attitude?

Now down to your cleverly disposed web/answer:

First of all did i say you were flamming the GUI? english might not be my first language but im pretty sure i never said that...what i said was:

...your attitude towards newbies stink...

dont put words in my mouth, like i said and this might get me banned but your attitude towards newbies "stink", do i need to say it in another language so that there are no doubts of what im saying, in my personall opinion and the fellow users that sent PM's supporting what i said is that if you're going to be like this all the time just politely shut up if you feel you cant be bothered to help newbies...furtherwore the comments you make towards first time useres speaks for itself...

@Atak_Snajpera

i dont need visual crop for my video sources, i open the file with asxgui, setup the video tab, audio tab, container, and convert, the way you inserted the screenshot here makes it look like a big window with all those options in it when in fact its several tabs, one for video, audio etc...

Im not saying yours is bad but for what i need asxgui is the best for me along with Minicoder

Everybody is different. Some are clever, some are dumb (?), some are helpful and some are arrogant…Although I have been on this forum for many years, most of time I look for helps, I would say in most cases, I was helped by people out there. However, I am still a newbie and I am not a programmer. Developers write programme, I test them and see if they are the one I want. When I started to look for a X264 GUI and simply found there are too many, I tested a few, either failed to work for various reasons, or too complicated. Of course, I am learning x264 and I have not tested all. I expressed my wish that all the developers of all the GUI worked together and presented users a GUI that will suit all levels, e.g. simple for beginners, powerful for advanced ones, through a ways e.g. hide advanced options for beginners, but they can be accessed if you want. One of the GUI I tested was MeGUI, unfortunately, the recent built has all sorts of problems.

I think it is not appropriate to call newbie “Nuts” and “Monkey”!!!!!! Everybody is good at something if not all.

My GUI ASXGui was written specifically for this purpose. If you want, you can just drag and drop your file and click encode, or you can do basic processing or even advanced processing, all dependent on how much you know how to do. The advanced and basic options do not show by default. If you double click your video in the job queue you get the basic options, and if you click "advanced x264 options" from there you get the advanced options.

Hi buzzqw, thanks for the update!

Any chance of custom audio and audio sample bitrate option? Where in the GUI can we find the option to change container? Is it when we are naming the output file?

about audio.. i will see.. i don't want to overhaul the gui

container can be selected only when saving output file. microx264 will ask for output file when you select input fle

Actually this doesn't work as you expect. If I only select a file extension in the drop down list it always output to MKV. I have to manually add .mp4 or .h264 to the file name.
In this case output to .mp4 is working only after I have added MP4Box to the Application subfolder, because it's missing in your original package.

When you select a .h264 output, the .h264 file is not created in the selected output folder but in the temporary folder, the one which is created with the same name as the source file.
And the exact same WAVI command line appears twice in the job list instead of copying and renaming the output file to the selected output folder.

And with the latest update it just puts "--fps 0.000" in x264 command line.

Why not just use y4m output from avs2yuv and "--stdin y4m" in x264? That way you don't have to worry about knowing the fps nor the resolution.

update microx264 added support for configuration file

create a file named microx264.ini in the same folder as microx264.exe

this is an example

Code:
Encoding Mode=2 pass
Preset=ultrafast
Tuning=Film
Bitrate=1500
Audio Codec=Aac
Audio Quality=50
Custom x264=--subme 3
MT Mode=1
MT Value=2,0
Resizer=PointResize
Before Resize#
After Resize#
