Facebook just uses [mostly] stock ffmpeg for decoding, so anything ffmpeg will handle is good. So LC-AAC is your friend.

I uploaded MPEG4 test videos using both the NDAAC-LC-MultiChannel-192Kbps and NDAAC-HE-64Kbps templates and the audio got encoded correctly by Facebook in both cases. Looks like Facebook have fixed it. Thanks for the reply.

Hey, I'm having a bit of a problem trying to get multiple audio tracks on an MP4 file. I've got an MP4 file with an AAC audio track. I add the video and audio from that file, then another AAC track to it and mux them. The second track is a commentary track. The resulting file plays fine with Zoom Player, but Windows Media Player picks the commentary by default and I can't find a place to change it back. Quicktime plays both at once and doesn't let me change it.

Is there some way to specify that one track is the default track?

What is it and where did you get it?

Just wanted to double check on "Updates", there haven't been any through Kurtnoise's server and Sharktooth isn't back yet correct?

Well I just encoded a video to x264/PCM AVI in vegas, then used SUPER to put the video stream in an MP4 container, while encoding the audio to AAC. I didn't see a place to put in multiple audio tracks in either program so I'm trying to add it in after the fact.

Just installed megui on a new computer and trying to encode x.264 file and getting an error:

--[Information] [10/6/2009 1:38:46 PM] Encoding started
--[NoImage] Standard output stream
--[NoImage] Standard error stream: C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264.exe: unknown option -- progress

any help is appreciated!

correct...megui is still broken

Dark Eiri · 13th October 2009, 15:28

^ It works for me.

Jo-eL · 14th October 2009, 10:25

Just had to reinstall megui yesterday and had never have any problems before, but now the picture jumps already in the prewiev, I think there is something that have forgotten to install but I cant figure it out please help...

if you need more info let me know

Well, I can just say - after a few experiments - if you stick to kurnoises server -> you live on the edge, but from my experiments I would conclude that sticking to *.1051 is the better way if you want to stay archival...
May I add - in my Opinion and Circumstances..... Because from what I had "preiviewed" with the branche from Kurtnoise is very promising!!! But somehow it is lacking a certain basic something

But I may venture into saying that this certain "basic" was at no way an intention of this development of the tree....

So, why can't we just step back to use the old branch of a tree (*.1051) and be happy with the results ??? Should we truly argue against those who actually develop? Either we are Testies, or we are Users.... I stick to be a user... and from my experiences that means to stay with megui.org and my old install..... Maybe I am missing a something certain by that, but the Macroblocks Artifacts I came to notice by the Kurtnoise "uptodate"-branche ain't worth any further discussions! That branche is great in its own way, but not unless you are willing to build it, the enoding parameters, all up from *scratch* again.......

P.S.: I really love the "edge" branche, but it really is somehow less quality with same parameters... I don't know how to put it, but there are some Macro Artifacts that are not within the old build.... Maybe that is a decoder question? With me it is good old FFDShow TryOuts 090902....

I am also receiving an error message after installing MeGUI anew in preparation for a series of encodes I also receive an "unrecognized option" error. This is the generated CLI line:

Code:

program --profile high --preset fast --crf 18 --thread-input --deblock 1:1 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --bframes 8 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid 
--b-bias 0 --scenecut 40 --ref 16 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --rc-lookahead 40 --no-mbtree --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 0.5 --merange 32 --me umh 
--subme 9 --partitions all --trellis 1 --psy-rd 0.6:0 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --output "output" "input"

And here's the error message:

Code:

[NoImage] Standard error stream: X:\wherever\x264.exe: unrecognised option `--rc-lookahead'

The option is located in the "Rate Control" tab, right above the "Use MB-Tree" option and there does not seem to be a way to disable it, even having MB-Tree unchecked (which I assume is what uses this lookahead setting).

Update your x264.exe to the latest version from x264.nl

(A moderator should make a sticky about this and other MeGUI update issues methinks)

We can't help you with Rule 6 material.

elkey · 15th October 2009, 16:10

What do you mean?
If I get mistake, plz forgive it. I'm not good at using Eng. I've tried many ways but it's not working so I think the x264's developer can help me.

Inspector.Gadget · 15th October 2009, 16:15

You don't own the source material: it is a downloaded "scene" release that violates copyright laws. We do not assist people with that sort of thing here. Read the rules linked at the top of the page.
