3. Change update server to development. Update all parts again except the 1056 core (if you do this without doing step 2 first you will get an error).
4. Copy the files that Zathor has prepared and select replace all.
When you open up MeGUI you will have a fully functional 1057 install, with full support for the new X264 features! Fantastic!
Thanks for your reply.

With the newest build it is even easier to install:
1. Install Avisynth 2.5.8 (if not already installed)
2. Extract my build to a new/empty directory
3. Run the program and let it update all necessary files from the development server.
4. Update some files manually (x264.exe, ...)

May I know which one U mean by "newest build"? Is it the one at the 1st post or the one at the 2nd page?

thanks mate

i have used the latest development build of urs ..
but tell me when i usesd to use 1051 with unrestricted 2 pass profile the settings were that of SLOWER
in mean like this :
program --profile high --pass 2 --bitrate 1000 --stats ".stats" --ref 5 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --direct auto --deblock -1:-1 --trellis 2 --partitions all --me umh --thread-input --output "output" "input"

but in this one ( the new patched 1057 build the settings in that same profile are FAST..
program --profile high --preset fast --pass 2 --bitrate 1000 --stats ".stats" --thread-input --deblock -1:-1 --no-dct-decimate --output "output" "input"


what should be done ( does it mean that in the new megui build and x264 build SLOWER stuff is more faster or i need to drag the slider to slower to get the same settings.. and quality as that of unrestricted 2 pass

The one in the first page, is true that at 2nd page there is a newer version but with a lot of changes, if I understand well.

Also for me patched 1057 version works fine & faster (used with x264 rev.1360 Jeeb's build)

Thank you again!

I see. I have just downloaded the unpatched one.

I'm interested to know about the "faster" bit for the patched 1057. Hope you can share your experience in a little bit detail.

looks like i cant use the latest megui builds and the benefits of x264.
i have done everything as was said here and at the troubleshooting thread..
but it just wont work out..
i used the latest build by Zathor ( the 2nd one ) and installed it in a separate folder..
used unrestricted 2 pass HQ with SLower settings
it will do the first pass and give a STANDARD ERROR STREAM error upon second always..
sometimes the same error on first pass as well..


can someone please please please guide me how should i go about it all.. i have been trying to do this from last 3 days in TOTALO vain.

it looks i ll have to go back to 1051

your gonna have to create your own presets, because nobody has taken time to do so yet. putting the preset slider on "slower", change the mode to automated twopass, uncheck the turbo, and entering the bitrate will be pretty damn close to what you were doing before

do what i said in my post above, so you can get all the old junk out of the way. you'll have a fresh new megui with no presets, then use this information to create your own presets based on your needs.

http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings

you don't need to understand all of it, the default values and the presets built into x264 is all you need to be aware of

here's the settings you need if you want compatibility with a certain device

ok as you say dear Sir !!!
but if i am right turbo used to be on in the past ,
BTW i am kinna noob in all this , setting it up would be so damn diff for me..
cant i just set it up as it was earlier in the unresticted 2 pass .. i have screenshotts of the 1051 version presets settings,


EDIT also , u said first to install 1056 then ur build ..
do we have to update 1056 first and then install ur build or how ?

also the 1309 x264 is there in ur update should i also replace this with 1360 from x264.nl

please forgive me noobiness , but my head is now aching with all this :P
regards
Glenn

turbo turns the options way down for the first pass. what i'm telling you is that the defaults in conjunction with presets built into x264 really replace the need for sharktooth's presets. setting up x264 is nowhere near as complicated as it was before.

do you even need to hit a specific file size?

a very 1th error I get under Win 7, I have installed as Zathor says

4. Update some files manually (x264.exe, ...)
Error 1: happen when I select all profile and hit on import.



Error 2: same as error 1



Error 3 & 4 at the same time when I want to close meGUI.

no

1. uninstall and remove any traces of megui
2. install 1056, but dont even run it (this is just to provide the uninstaller and shortcuts, im lazy)
3. download and install the package of 1057 i put together ( it is fully up to date so no need to copy x264)

yupp i have done it like that..
now the issue is how to make a profile which can rip on the same grounds as the unrestrcited 2pass was doing earlier in earlier builds.

like i said before, putting the preset slider on "slower", change the mode to automated twopass, uncheck the turbo, and entering the bitrate will be pretty damn close to what you were doing before. leave turbo checked if you'd like but if your encoding down below 1000kbps, your gonna need to squeeze as much as you can out of it

Thanks Q
i donno anything about the options and yes i generally encode below 700 bits almost always :P so if u say it shouls be unticked then it ll be unticked dear Sir
what about deblocking strength coz i found thats thew only thing that has changed in this..
in earlier presets it used to be -1:-1 but tyhe default in that lone preset now is 0:0 should i change that..

if u can suggest anything which will be beneficial for ripping on low bit rate and getting good quality then please

regards
