There are a bunch of mkvextract frontends you can find at videohelp.com. I'm using staxrip of course.

Thank you. In the meantime, I managed to do 2in1, converting the opus from the mkv into an mp3 with VLC.

It says unknown.
I installed the opus package but it still can't be checked in HD streams extractor.
Did you try to enable the package in MeGUI?
Open MeGUI, select "Tools" and then "Update".
Scroll down untill you find "opus". Right click on "package disabled" and choose enable and then update it.
Try it. If something goes wrong, do the opposite and disable it again.
This is just a guess.
Cheers

Does anyone know where to set 1-Click to use FFms instead of L-Smash for default file indexer? Disabling L-Smash in update doesn't work as it enable itself back when 1-click running for whole folder.

You'll have to adjust the programs default filters

If I'd like to manually update x265 exe, which one should I use from here: http://msystem.waw.pl/x265/ ?
Thanks in advance

You should not, a new version may alter some command line parameters or preset balances, so MeGUI may not support a new version optimally.

Hey there friends , been a while since i was here .
Just recently i decided to become part of a group who rented a remote desktop to encode and do some video editing stuff and all.
i know just a tiny bit regarding megui and I use that to re encode videos to save space and make them play directly on my TV.

My issue is whenever someone else is using a high percentage of CPU lets say may be above 80 or 90% , the encoding speed of megui x264 goes down like anything .
When usually first pass runs at around 60 to 120fps it goes down to 3 or 4fps
and same is the case with second pass too. ( i use 2 pass encoding )
the cpu usage in first pass is around 8% at my end , whereas the other user is consuming more than 90% of it.

I have tried adding --threads manually as well into the x264 command line but still no use.
CPU is pretty good Intel Xeon E 2650 with 64gigs of ram
Ram is always available , more than 50% is always free.

I don't use any sort of filtration in avisynth script
here is an example

Quote:
LoadPlugin("F:\TEST\megui\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll")
LWLibavVideoSource("F:\files\mammoth.mkv")
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise
here is x264 command line
Quote:
--preset slower --pass 2 --bitrate 1500 --stats ".stats" --ref 5 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --merange 24 --threads 96
just yesterday added the threads manually to see what it can do., it made encoding faster when i was the only one consuming resources otherwise the threads count is always at default as set by the preset.

all i wish to know is how can i set megui to use enough cpu power or whatever it is so that i get a decent fps
Thanks

When someone transcodes the processor is doing the same thing for them in real time as megui does for you slowly for more quality.

There is no magic fix. If plex calls for the CPU power it's going to get it ad megui is lower priority.

If plex didnt get it their steam would buffer or hang.

If you want it to go faster you need to look into high core count thread rippers.

I was afraid i was gonna get this reply
Thanks mate
I was under the impression that 2650 would prove to be an awesome choice
May be i need to cancel the subscription.
I guess there is no other way to help it slightly ???
Thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking. Make your files direct playable if you have the bandwidth and it wont be a problem!

What does x264 log means.

I mean only the part where there is mention

Quote:
x264 [info]: frame I:1039 Avg QP:14.13 size:133071
x264 [info]: frame P:28114 Avg QP:15.54 size: 57455
x264 [info]: frame B:107619 Avg QP:17.64 size:31151
What do you expect to read from this kind of log. What is best practice to understand transparency.

Nothing. I want to know how you read this log. What is expected for best transparency or how do you judge the video transparency by looking at x264 log. Like I,p,b value,what you observe and decide?

Final Rate factor. I then add about .50 to the CRF value from it and hit my 2 pass kbps with Crf that way

Transparency is a subjective goal.

My goal is a compromise between quality and size and try to obtain, more or less with a crf 18:

I_QP: 16
P_QP: 18
B_QP: 20

I know it is not absolutly transparent but is enough for me.
I think than crf less than 16 is to waste bitrate but each user must select their goal.

It means x264 used 1039 I frames, 28114 P frames and 107619 B frames.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_..._picture_types

The average quantizer for I frames was 14.13, for P frames 15.54 and for B frames 17.64.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanti...ge_processing)

The average sizes were 133071 Bytes for I frames, 57455 Bytes for P frames and 31151 Bytes for B frames.


So these values are only interesting for computer scientists and not so much for end users.

I thought this has some technical details. Sone were I read if ipratio and pbratio is equal that means it's good encode? Or is it something else?
