MeGUI Feature Request Thread

[thuongshoo]

Megui convert file by x264.exe and Avisynth . It is good .I have a mpeg-2 which can't be transcoded by Virtualdub but Megui can do well . I'm very surprise .
Averly Lee says that Using a large buffer make VD encode while it waits for disk I/O .
Oh ! all thing is theory . If increasing AVI buffer and pipeline , processing speed will increase . Have you try to do this with VD ?
VD uses x264vfw.dll while Megui uses x264.exe
Maybe we can't do this in MEgui because it use Avisynth . I guess that . I don't dare say because I'm a pro programmer

[denise]

difference setting between x264 MeGUI and x264vfw VD ---> difference speed.

Use MP4 box -aviraw video to extract raw h264 from .avi that made by VD . Mux new .264 and .aac in to .mp4 as you desire.

Heavy pipelining is only useful for huge disk operations, on the order of tens of megabytes read and written a second. Capture and direct stream processing fall into this, heavy final encoding does not. x264 already uses asynch i/o afaik, which provides a big boost, and pipelining doesn't gain much over that.

He discusses it in this entry:

because I'm not pro programmer

To denise : thank you ! I will try
To foxyshadis : I will read it .My english is n ot good so I need time to understand it .

I'd love to have vorbis sound suppont in MeGUI.

Until you resolve the avisynth sound support for Vorbis would it possible to add at least muxing of Vorbis sound with mkvmege ?

Cos mkverge is perfectly capable of doing so.

Thanks a lot for the BEST encoding GUI.

[Bathrone]

Just a useability suggestion on the UI - buttons could be made inactive until they can be actually used. e.g. Not having the job tab start button enabled until a job exists in the que.

Thanks to all involved in MeGUI, a great app that Im sure is setting the stage for our AVC future.

Hi guys, I have one reasonable suggestion for future MeGUI builds?

Instead supporting ONLY AVS input, devs should introduce direct work with AVI. MPG and other video files, without need for AVS script.

That's because most people doesn't need filters in AviSynth, so direct work with MPG and AVI files would be nice.



Any good thoughs, devs. I don't need AviSynth scripts very often, I just want to encode in MP4 or MKV container directly, without AVS scripts.

I agree this would be nice. Most of the time I don't NEED scripts but have to make them anyway.

[ChronoCross]

It does have a meinimize to tray already.

View --> minmize to tray

[foxyshadis]

There's nothing nice about his request, all that needs to change is the drag-drop (and file open) handlers need to be extended to accept and handle directshow types (mkv, mp4, mov, wmv, etc). And, possibly, avisynth input renamed to video input, except then we'd get the exact opposite requests from people asking for an avisynth input.

[ChronoCross]

Not to mention demultiplexing issues, Remuxing control, container capabilites(in temrs of handling audio and video streams).

There is a whole lot to consider if Megui were to start accepting all types of files.

[chipzoller]

My bad...never seen it under 'view'

[foxyshadis]

Well, the video just gets sent to a directshowsource call, so if that fails you just pop up a dialog saying "No system splitter or decoder available for this format! Please install [haali's and ffdshow|realplayer|WMP codecs]."

If you get beyond that into multiple streams, subtitles, chapters, etc, you're in for a world of pain for not much gain. ;_;

[berrinam]

Ok, done! You can now open any video source that works with DirectShowSource in a number of ways:

1. Go to the AviSynth script creator and open it there
2. Drag it onto MeGUI, which will open it in the AviSynth script creator
3. Use File->Open, which will also open it in the AviSynth script creator

At the moment, the only supported filetypes for DirectShow are *.avi, *.mp4, *.mkv, and *.rmvb. Everything else is accessible through the 'All files' filter. If someone wants to givve a me a better list of file extensions for DSS-loadable files, please go ahead.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Yuo don't inderstand my point berrinam. We, common users, want to open video files directly, without AVS interfering. I hate to make AVS script every time.

your an idiot. do you have any idea how much would be required to build a directshow decoder directly into megui??? Seriously man....it's best to do your decoding through avisynth. it allows us to deal with things better as the framework is already finished.

maybe we can create AVS script impicitly without showing any avs-creation GUI

[ChronoCross]

true. but I think what KRP is asking for is basically virtualdub. Where the video file is handled implicitly where the end of encoding all the stuff is done already.

That would mean that megui would have to be able to differentiate between all tracks(video, audio, subs) Their given track names and other info be able to wrap that in avisynth with no user input, and then figure out how to keep them into the next container with the same attribs.

Considering all the things that can go wrong in this process(audio compatibility, video changes and whatnot) there would have to be a substantial amount of time put in to get every possible situation and prereq for each container both input and output.

@berrinam cheers for clear log button,
just noticed the resize disable nice touch - but maybe a idea to turn on resize automaticly if crop is used and its not a mod of 8/16(not remember which)

For example something like AutoGK
