You need compile it yourself.

$40 ? You need NeroAacEnc.exe free from https://www.videohelp.com/software/Nero-AAC-Codec at ...megui\tools\eac3to folder

Work for me with qaac.exe and QTfiles folder from https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/

Thanks. I do have that old Nero encoder installed (didn't realize that's the most recent), but it didn't work with that old version, anyway.
I'm sure I could figure out how to compile, but my level of interest isn't high enough and I suspect it won't help anyway based upon the qaac failure. I did try several attempts with the qaac that's installed, but repeatedly failed.

I ended up just demuxing, rendering the audio with Audacity and encoded the video files with One-click. Everything is fine now, after muxing.

With NeroAacEnc.exe in ...megui\tools\eac3to folder you always can use MeGUI->Tools->HD Streams Extractor to downmix and recode to AAC like the image.

Include in +Options the parameter -downStereo (or downDpl) and optionally -normalize

Downmix with a Dolby ProLogic matrix has the advantage that an A/V receiver may partially reproduce some surround impression if it supports it, but even if you only have stereo speakers it still doesn't get lost completely.

I check the One-Click feature and work fine for me with the 3 aac encoders.

Check if you have the proper files:

A tiny dummy replacement for the icudt55.dll does exist (see hydrogenaud.io).

Hi, I keep getting this error

Code:
[Error] [18/09/2020 03:12:49] Standard error stream
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] Invalid loglevel "level+error". Possible levels are numbers or:
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "quiet"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "panic"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "fatal"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "error"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "warning"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "info"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "verbose"
-[Information] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] "debug"

-[Error] [18/09/2020 03:12:50] x265 [error]: unable to open input file <->
Changing "level+error" to "error" and the full command works fine

EDIT:
Now works after updating ffmpeg. Why does Megui come with version 3.0.0 from 2016?

This version was possibly sufficient for the only specific reason it was needed for: Multiplexing MPEG-4 ASP from Xvid, IIRC...

NVM seemed to have figured it out.

I'm having a performance issue with MeGui and a new computer build that is 7 times slower for AC3 encoding than my 10y old computer.

I'm drag n' dropping an mkv file with audio/video into the "Audio input" field, selected FFmpeg AC3 with these settings (nothing fancy) and that's about it.


With my new AMD 3900XT, B550, 64GB 3200MHz DDR4, SSD nvme, Win10 it takes about 8 minutes to process.



With my 10y old i7 2600K, P8P67, 16GB of RAM @ 1600MHz and 7200rpm HDD, Win7, it takes about 50 seconds:



I ran several performance benchmarks (Cinebench R20, Prime95, OCCT, memtest and userbenchmark) and it seems like everything is working like it should. Yet, it's 8 times slower with MeGui AC3 encoding.

Is the issue with MeGui or my computer? Can it be an Intel vs AMD thing?

Is your core boosting during this time?

It looks like it is if I'm not mistaken:


EDIT: tried the same encoding several times, it yields the same results -> 8 minutes

EDIT2: Tried your program and it's way faster so my understanding is that the issue comes from MeGui.

EDIT3: but your program only encoded 59 minutes instead of the 2 hours for some reason
Is this only an issue with this file?

Im curious, could you potentially send me the file in question so I can mess with it later?

Sorry I got mixed up with all the AC3 files I produced with MeGui and mixed up one MeGui aborted project with the result of your software which is working 100% fine and is way faster (about 30 seconds for this file).

Update the update.xml file in update_cache subfolder as
Code:
        <ffms type="file" requiredbuild="2624" build="64">
            <filepath date="2021-01-17" version="20201123">ffms2-20201123-64.7z</filepath>
