I noticed a bug or more an issue that can be improved.

It ignores certain names, for example:

13-10-05 = OK
13-10-03-04 = NO

I donīt know what causes it, but i think that more than 2 " - " breaks it and it just ignore them, they donīt seem to be added to the list.
May be worh checking up if you have the time. Though i donīt think many will run into this, itīs probably me and my naming senses;P

EDIT:

It may work if there is a certain amount. At least it seems if i add a single item it will allow the name.

Though with the latest version, it doesnīt do anything, except add it to Megui, it doesnīt click Auto Encode or anything.
Not sure if i messed something up, or if something has changed.

EDIT 2:

Okay the new one works, only "problem" is that the first file takes ages.
It adds it, but waits for minutes, maybe like 5min or something, to click Auto Encode, but after the first file, it goes on and on!

I always had problems with the first file though, not sure why, but it works anyhow, so i am grateful

Presumably you mean eg "13-10-05.VOB" or whatever (is this still a problem ?).

Taking a guess here, but as stated in doc, it can be better to have MeGUI "Show Aspect Ratio" (or whatever it is called) enabled
as the batcher is waiting to see if the AR dialog box is displayed, after 1st time, it no longer waits.
I extended wait times significantly as I was experiencing problems where a long prescan time was used in avs, eg scanning for
auto cropping, auto luma leveling etc, MeGUI seems to reopen the AVS about 5, maybe 7 times when loading, and then again a number of
times when clicking AutoEncode, and each of these reopenings cause an AVS prescan, number of times probably depending upon whether
you have eg Auto Deinterlace etc switched on in MeGUI (EDIT: Source detector).

If you switch on Display Aspect Ratio Dialog box, the batcher will close it as soon as it appears and continue instead of pausing.

EDIT: Above should be Open Preview After Avisynth Script Selection instead of Display Aspect Ratio Dialog box.

Itīs no longer a problem it seems. It was, but isnīt!

Ah that explains it, will do that when i use it, cause other than the first time thing, it works fast enough!

Also i made a feature request on Megui to make an option to prevent the checking, as it takes ages, you know that it checks the Script when adding it.
Sure itīs good and all that, but itīs just worthless if you got many files with the same script and just different files.

And in the end it will just file at the encoder level instead.

But itīs good most cases, but i would like to disable it and just tell it to add it and ignore everything, as when you got 20+ files to add, it takes ages.

Would it be possible to support special characters when reading filenames, such as: !, #, +. ?

Thanks

I suppose pretty much everybody knows that so maybe he means special operators that perform concatenation or conditional logic.

I think ZW is just using '?' to signify he is asking a question. (as C says, '?' is wildcard and reserved character in filename).

I dont think support for '#' is gonna be too useful, I think a number of tools (possibly x264 being one of them), screws up
when sent a filename containing hash, interpreted as some kind of stream indicator (or something, IIRC).

I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: I've just tried avs with '#' in filename and no problems in MeGUI, I think it did used to produce some kind of crash
(perhaps was the MP4 muxer rather than x264), but working OK now.

What? #, ! and + are perfectly valid characters for file names at least for Win and FAT12, FAT32, NTFS. No program should choke on these characters in file names.

Some command line tool (x264 or mp4muxer or something else) uses hash as some kind of stream or arg prefix in the command line,
MeGUI did used to choke on hash in filename (I think), it used to nark me that I had to take hash out of some of my filenames, but just tried
and now works ok.

EDIT: I used to use eg "DieHard_#2-DieHarder.avs"
but have not used hash in filename for a couple of years until after encode to mp4 (because of the hash thing).

The tool we are talking about here is notoriously known for being hard to use and full of shortcomings, I've been writing rants about it more then once.

@StainlessS

I wonder if you examined StaxRip for batch encoding? After all MeGUI is centered around the idea of a manual workflow while StaxRip is centered around the idea of a automated workflow.

When you batch process, you automate so a GUI focused on automation has significant advantages for batch processing.

The only part of MeGUI I ever use is AutoEncode (occasionally MP4 muxer) with pre-written AVS scripts, I dont use any kind of MeGUI deinterlacing or auto anything else.
I dont actually want a simple rip/encode tool, I do quite a lot of automated stuff myself in script, including automated batch creation of avs files
for splicing multiple clips of perhaps different dimensions framerates etc.
MeGUI AutoEncodeBatcher, just allows me to group select a bunch of avs files in FileSelector, click OK, and go to the pub, way less tedious
than spending an hour or two waiting for MeGUI to finish whatever it is doing in the background before allowing you to enter another
filename.

I do have an older copy of Staxrip knocking about somewhere, and think I quite liked it but dont really have a need.
I think that StaxRip would take all the fun out of it, what would I do with all that spare time I would have

EDIT: I'm on XP32SP3, so could not try your monster 64 bit SR anyway

By the way, I had not disallowed those characters deliberately, I should have sent them RAW but as I appended {ENTER} keyboard
key, I sent as special string that could contain eg {SHIFT}, {ALT}, {CTRL} or {F12} etc,
now sending filename as RAW and then {ENTER} as special string [sent to file selector filename box].
The problem characters are an alternative means of sending the above example brace '{}' enclosed keys.

For anyone using Autoit (MeGUI Auto Encode Batcher and DGIndex Batcher coded in AutoIt), there was an update Sept 18 2015.
The SciTE script editor also updated about same time.

I shall compile and test both above mentioned batchers and release after testing for a few weeks.

Easy to compile yourself, just load into editor and click on 'Build' on one of the menus (IIRC).
