Tool-chain for H.264 compression+AAC audio in mp4?

Hi.

Can you suggest, based on your experience, a freeware tool-chain for VOB > H.264 standard compression + AAC audio -> mp4 container ?

Rergards.

Use Gordian Knot to index the VOBs, demux the audio and generate the .avs file.

Use MeGUI to compress the video and audio and put into mp4

all these steps are not necessary at all...

if you really want to use every tool on your own than you have to realise that
faac can encode directly to .mp4,
also the x264 commandline encoder can encode directly to .mp4 from an .avs source...

yes, for sure. While i don't know that faac can output mp4, i prefer to use vdub+x264vfw is more easy than x264.exe to use

Thanks anyway Bond !!

sure, its your choice, but than you also have to mention that you have to demux to raw from the resulting avi, before being able to import to mp4 (and if wanted after that create a native avc mkv from that mp4)

MeGUI

Where's MeGUI available? Doom9's Full Software Download page doesn't have it. Also there's mention of FAAC. That is also not available in Doom9's.

FAAC-18102004.tar.gz was downloaded from http://www.audiocoding.com.

Doom9's download page not having them is suspicious. What's the catch?

Regards.

Considering I wrote MeGUI you should assume it's beyond reproach. But I've chosen to only release it in this community and get enough feedback to make it really stable before announcing it to a wider audience. I simply don't have time to deal with as many incomplete or bogus bugreports that more widely used programs get every day.

And as far as faac goes.. THE audio tool is BeSweet.. in the MeGUI thread you'll see that somebody is working on an faac plugin for BeSweet.. that'll make it really useful. Disadvantages of faac as it is can be read a few pages back from the last one in the MeGUI thread and it is for all those issues that MeGUI will not use faac (unless somebody creates a fork).

And, MeGUI does exactly what you are looking for. For now you just need to create your AviSynth script manually but that'll be taken care off automatically eventually. There's a one clicker as well: AutoAC: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...hreadid=90732. There's really no need to do things manually these days.

yeah, sure, typing down the following two commands (for 2pass encoding):

x264 -p 1 -q 21 -b 2 -r 2 -o NUL input.avs
x264 -p 2 -B <bitrate> -b 2 -r 3 -o video.mp4 input.avs

into a batch file and running it is certainly an impossible task...

Hi. Doom9.

Quote from your post:

And, MeGUI does exactly what you are looking for.

Great work! ...This tool has all the hallmarks of being the next wave. The final MeGUI_installer.exe package might contain:

MeGUI.exe
mencoder.exe
DGIndex.exe
mp4creator
BeSweet.exe
azid.dll
bsn.dll
ahibatch.dll
AAC.dll
aacenc32.dll
hip.dll


Thanks and Regards.

unfortunately, aacenc32.dll is part of a commercial package (Nero). That's why I'd much appreciate to have a dll version of faac that works in BeSweet. And you also need dgdecode.dll and AviSynth at the very least, plus obviously mencoder (and it's now mp4box.exe, not mp4creator
