Is it intended behaviour that MP3 isn't supposed to be muxed into mp4 in MeGUI though it is standards compliant afaik? Or do I miss something here?

I agree with you that a little resizing is probably preferable, but maybe not everyone has the same preferences. |

I've always wanted this feature in my encoder, but never bothered to ask...
I've been able to make a minor VB program on my own to do this, but it's very buggy. I want to make the second pass kbps a percentage of the kbps from the first pass (whether xvid, x264, etc). I basically am looking for the best bang for my buck. Many people I see in these forums are in two camps: people who have to achieve a certain file size, and those who don't care about size. I want the best quality at the best file size. What I typically do is take the kbps generated by the first pass and make the second pass 50-70% of that. I am looking for a way to have that automatically generated for me. In terms of programming (I am a low level intermediate in terms of ability), my main issue is running one pass, stopping to read the stats file (I wrote my own code for reading it, but I don't know how accurate it is) and calculating the kbps, and then starting a second pass. I try to make a .bat file with the mencoder commandline options, but can't figure out where in there to calculate from the stats file. If this is something that can be done, that would be super. Thanks! |

1.Autoonlineupdate for all external Programs like in StaxRip ... very handy ...
2. Autoencode every TS-File in a special Directory when recording is finished ... after that delete TS and get a lot of free space back ...8) Last edited by fogbav; 17th January 2006 at 23:36. |

As to XviD, I don't know if there is such an option, but the question is simple enough: why use XviD when x264 exists? Quote:

handtruck, are you sure you don't want --crf (constant quality, not constant quant) encoding? Without a stats file the video won't quite be "optimal" but once you figure out what your preferred size/quality ratio is, the same crf value will always give you approximately the same ratio at nearly the same quality as a two-pass to the same size would.
Edit: blargh, too late. Edit2: If you leave xvid's little vfw info window open while encoding (barely registers on cpu time), it'll show the bitrate as it goes, and the final bitrate at the end. (Along with the quant distribution if that interests you.) Last edited by foxyshadis; 18th January 2006 at 00:58. |

I just did a crf and it looks great.. Thanks to all.
I usually use the vfw window to determine the second pass for xvid, but I was looking for a way to do that without having to look at the screen (in a program) |

Sure, try one of the ways to get bitrate in this thread. I use the commandline mediainfo whenever I need to get it into a script.

Small request I've been meaning to put forth: an option to delete all unrelated files when no longer needed. Partial list:
*.stats *.besweet.log *.d2v hfyu_*.avi hfyu_*.avs The default hotkeys need work. For instance, you can't copy parts of the logfile to the clipboard with ctrl+c because it'll bring up the Chapter Creator! Whatever alternatives we choose, they need to be documented on the Tools menu. @berrinam: when pre-rendering, why -forceidx -noodml? As far as I can tell the -forceidx option only exists because old versions of mencoder didn't support OpenDML (AVI 2.0) and thus needed their own index hack to break the 2GB barrier. OpenDML has always been Avisynth's default mode for large AVI files. |

Recording is finished when filesize is not increasing anymore .... schould be simple to code .... |

And there's more.. there's a part in the todo list about TS files.. if you look at it you'll suddenly realize why automatic TS processing won't work.. we don't know which PIDs to extract and process to begin with. It could be that your TS has multiple audio or in the worst case, contains multiple TV channels.
