All assumptions are correct. I've added colors to my message, to make things clearer (I hope).

2153 version has the same problem of all versions from 2146.
I did these steps:

1- Load AVS in video input.
2- Choose the video profile and x264+MP4 container
3- Click on Autoencode
3- Choose the size (174 Mbytes) and check Add additional content.
4- Choose the audio file already compressed with Nero AAC.
5- Press Go button. Nothing happens.

I did a fresh install of 2153 version upgraded from 2148. MP4Box is from 19 May. The only way to mux audio and video is after do 2passes with final video and final audio ready and click on menu Tools>Muxer>Adaptative and choose the files manualy and add a separate queue for this.

Back to version 2132 and all is function again.

hmm.. same audio commandline..
can the .aac file be played properly?
as far as the muxing goes, what happens if you try to mux the .aac file manually (assuming it can be played)?

Also, could you open a command prompt at the location of your mp4box.exe and paste the following, then press enter:

-add "E:\Samples\freedom.264" -add "E:\Samples\rep-freedomland-sample T01 3_2ch 384Kbps DELAY -191ms.aac" -fps 23.976023976024 -new "E:\Samples\freedom-muxed.mp4"

And if it doesn't work, try again but this time with -fps 23.976 (so strip away the rest of the fps string)

The Nero AAC files made with this thing seem to be non-spec compliant, so MP4box chokes on 'em.

Anyway, my bug. (Another Nero AAC problem).
Muxing an x264-mkv and Nero AAC doesn't work: only the video is kept. MeGUI tells mkvmerge to use track "0" when it doesn't exist: the audio is in track 1. There is no way for the user to change this behavior, either.

Manually muxing with MKVmergeGUI 1.7 is fine--it detects that the audio is in track 1, not in track 0, so it muxes properly to mkv.

I have the same MP4 problem that acrespo and many others have with Nero audio muxing. Any other AAC (faac, CT AAC) work fine with both mkv and mp4, regardless of settings. So...

PS: For Nero, I use LC-AAC VBR Q .15, just so ya know

No sound. Job 11. The red part of the log.

No sound.

No sound.


The muxed file without sound (.mp4) + AAC = audio + video working (both fps tried)
The original video file (.264) + AAC = video working (both fps tried)

Is there something wrong with the original video file (.264)?

Shouldn't the audio file have a mp4 container, in the first place?

I have a problem with MeGUI and 1st pass encoding.
Whenever I choose "2pass-1st pass" (x.264) and press enqueue I get the following error message:

Video output filename does not have the correct extension.
Based on current settings, it should be mkv

(or mp4 if mp4 was selected before it become grayed out)

What am I doing wrong? 1st pass isn't supposed to create a file right?

Bitrate calculator has a small bug. I did these steps:

The steps to wrong result values:
1- Change the audio bitrate and file size.
2- Change the container from MKV (default) to MP4.
3- The results are the same for MKV and MP4

The steps to correct result values:
1- Change the container from MKV (default) to MP4.
2- Change the audio bitrate and file size.
3- The results are correct (different) for MKV and MP4.

In other words, it seems that when the container is changed the results are not changing but if you change anything after container the results are changing considering the new container.

Ok, so nero shouldn't be used to generate AAC files. We know that, but it needs a bit of a restructure to fix it, so you'll just have to cope for now.

I'm interested in the slowdown that people are talking about. While I have not touched audio encoding, I've refactored the video encoding. Perhaps running another thread caused a significant slowdown, so if people can give me some exact numbers to show this, that would be good.

It's strange I am using Nero via BeLight (LC VBR Streaming) and OK to version 2132 but with version 2146 and up, I can only mux manualy. My problem is not the same as yours.

I don't know if neroaacenc will be a problem for me because I am using ABR 112 Kbps (2pass) when I do some convertions. I will test some of them with MeGui tomorrow.

@berrinam: if youv'e halfways kept my way of registering encoders, then you could register the nero encoder to only do mp4. I'm quite surprised that raw aac is chosen in automatic mode.. mp4 should have first priority. In fact, since we're not using avimuxgui now (it cannot handle aac in mp4 so that's why I introduced raw aac), perhaps it would be better to remove raw aac again.

doesn't anybody else experience this?

Sounds good to me.

CT AAC doesn't support MP4 output...

I have, but it is not complete for the Audio Encoders: a single monolithic AviSynthAudioEncoderProvider is registered, which manages all of the audio encoding... it seems to me to be a bad structure, but I've avoided touching audio as much as possible, since that seems to be dimzon's area.

Anyway, I said it would need a restructure, and I meant that it would need to be separated into separate AudioEncoderProviders for each encoder (which I think is a good idea anyway).

Why should not make only mp4 otput because is more better than aac, for both FAAC, CT or aac support for Nero.

How about registering the avisynthprovider multiple times, but each time with different capabilities? Then again I think that would lead to a codec dropdown that would include AAC multiple times because there are multiple AAC encoders... we're back to the "one codec multiple encoders" problem.

@futurex: I can confirm that behavior. It gets worse as changing codec and / or container doesn't seem to be having an effect either.

I'll sort something out -- it'll end up being the same as video, which is good.

I don't see this as a problem -- that is exactly how it SHOULD work.

Hmm.. I was too quick to jump to judgement.. it's actually not this situation.. we'll have multiple AAC encoders, but one called CT AAC, one ND AAC and one FAAC.. and that's indeed what we want. I must've still been asleep when I posted

Does SAR work?

It seems like SAR doesn't work anymore after the checkin: 'berrinam: Silent commit: partway of IJobProcessor refactor'. Is it expected?

I noticed that nothing calls findSAR anymore. It used to be in CommandlineVideoEncoder.cs.

Thanks,
