Make more use of "Don't show me this again" in dialogs. The reset all dialogs button was added in the Settings window to make this easier, and there is also a dialogsettings class which should be used to keep track of the user's decisions.

Sorry about the 5 consecutive posts. I just keep on missing things which I want to post.

EDIT: 1. Robot4Rip is not open source, so looking at its source code is not an option. 2. To properly integrate DVD sources into MeGUI, some way of MeGUI knowing what's what would be required (ie, IFO parsing). Perhaps the vStrip or mediainfo dlls would be appropriate? I know this is adding more and more dependancies, but dlls could be distributed with MeGUI, so it isn't really much more for the user to set up, and they then get the benefit of automation straight from the DVD, and also being able to use sources which don't have Stream Information.txt Last edited by berrinam; 25th January 2006 at 04:38. |

Cool, thanks. {edit P.S. I spent ten minutes googling for this "One Click Encoder" tool that I'd never heard of as an alternative to MeGUI, StaxRip, GordianKnot et al. It wasn't until I did a Doom9 forum search that I realised it's an option on the MeGUI menu. Jeez, I need to get my head in gear.} Last edited by Morte66; 22nd January 2006 at 14:01. |

This is not a standard option in video encoding tools I've seen, but I think it would be a useful feature:
I'd like to add an overall job option for "PAL 25 to FILM 24". This would take a PAL source (probably DVD or TV rip), redefine the video as 24fps, slow down the audio (slowing tempo and dropping pitch) with a "-rate -4" option to BeSweet, and retime chapters/subtitles. I could do this as multiple tasks in multiple tools, so hopefully the code/expertise is out there. But it would be very nice to have it built into MeGUI as a single checkbox on the "Automatic Encode" and "One Click Encode" screens. My rationale is that the results look and sound better than the original. The video matches creative intent, the orchestra isn't playing out of key, and hi-fi nuts everywhere in PALworld can stop itching because "the bass is a bit wrong" and voices are sibilant. Quite a lot of people play back their MPEG4 on computers using displays with variable refresh rates. I see no reason other than habit for these people to encode film for TV sets slaved to a 50Hz electrical supply. Last edited by Morte66; 22nd January 2006 at 14:52. |

I'm not even sure how it should work considering that sometimes erratic x264 builds, problematic mp4box builds and encraw where there's nothing in terms of distribution at all.

How about create a webfolder http://megui.org/meguirequirements that ~5 people have write access to, and occasionally upload new working builds there? It's not the "coolest" solution, but it's better than what we have now.
Since it's us doing the updating, that also means we can create our own naming convention. Something like x264-2006-xx-xx.rar mp4box-2006-xx-xx.rar etc. Then it's very easy for the MeGUI client to see what the latest version of everything is. |

About the autoupgrade of the components. What exactly are ye looking for in this feature?
Are you looking for a way to get the latest and greatest from the developers website, or do you want it only to get the latest version from what we upload to our webspace? I think easiest (and safest compatibility-wise) would be to have webspace where we manually upload the latest versions of each DLL/exe that MeGUI uses that are safe for use. That way if there is a dodgy build we can not release it to the webspace. Then, MeGUI could be set to poll that webspace to see what the latest versions are as compared to the versions on the computer (can be done by checking filenames or using an XML file). EDIT: By CC i meant conditional compiling I deleted that post as i was writing this new longer one, with a lot more details in it

Hey guys!!
Wondering if the Bitrate Calculator can go up higher. Like say, to 24hrs of recording? I've got a 11hr18min encode that I'd like to have on a DVDDL, and the bitrate calculator only goes up to about 6 hrs. I'm able to get around it by using 1/2 the time and DVD5, which is about spot on. But it'd be cool for you to add more time, and DVD-DL, DVDR9. Thanks! Last edited by Dayvon; 26th January 2006 at 22:48. |

It's definitly better to encode it as one file to allow better bitrate distributuion

Anycase even if you have multiple original dvd's you can concatenate video via AviSynth: Code:
return season1 + season2 + season3 ... seasonN

Plus then there's we have the nice details of audio delays.. you can't just concatenate the audio streams if you have delays.

YOu could do the additonal painful step of encoding each audio seperately and using avisynth to combine the audio through the concatenation same as the videos. But even so this is not a practical way to encode something. 1 episode. If he were to encode it he would most certainly would take 3-4 days to properly encode it (filtering, high backup settings(xvid or x264)). There is no guarantee it wouldn't fail halfway through. |
