@Mutant_Fruit: you raise good points. I think in the end auto-update needs to be an all-or-nothing feature. If you want to use it, don't screw around with your own builds. Once you accept that POV, the only hard task is making it so good that nobody wants to use anything else

How about to add OggTheora support?

@berrinam
I'll check out the script templating tonight. Thanks @dimzon Thanks for the info on the neroraw folder. So basically all audio dll's go in there and that's where meGUI looks? I'll test it out later(at work right now). |

I havent had a chance to read through the other requests so Im not sure what has been requested/discussed with regards to auto updates.
I particularily like the way Stax has the auto updates. Simply goes and gets the files needed and doesnt force most users to have to fiddle with different downloads and making sure they are in the right place. Using the latest build of MeGUI has been bad for me. For some reason I cant get AC3 encoded to AAC 5.1 using Avisynth method so I opted to use BeSweet for encoding instead. Now Im pretty sure I borked something somewhere along the way when using this new build and following the MeGUI guide but having everything auto downloaded/updated would save a lot of headaches for those that just want to get right to the encoding and spend less time configuring and putting programs in the right places etc... By using the download/update similar to Stax, then users wouldnt need to declare where programs reside in order for MeGUI to work which honestly should make bugs much easier to track down since those that use th dl/update would pretty much have the same setup across the board. Is this actually going to happen and if so, any time soon? |

Im not reporting a bug until I have time to figure out if I did something incorrectly. I dont want to report false bugs
The only reason I mentioned this was to show that an auto d/update would help prevent problems like I have (my own errors.) |

On the "Queue" tab, there's a checkbox labelled "Shutdown at end of encoding". I suggest renaming that to "Shutdown MeGUI at end of encoding" or "Shutdown PC at end of encoding", to match whichever it does.
If it just closes down MeGUI, it would be nice to have the option to shut down the PC too. |

You can't shutdown an application.. that term is only valid for an operation system. An application can be closed though.

Another request for a tick box to enable/disable the resizing (like you can with cropping). If you're resizing it's great and you can rely on MeGUI getting the SAR right... if you don't want to resize (most of my encodes are done to 1/3 or 1/4 DVD so I've no need to resize) then you have to work out the SAR yourself... and there's still confusion in that respect.
Case in point - http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=106656 |

And this is another example of where AviSynth templates come in useful -- until the resizing checkbox is implemented (if it is), and you want to do a lot of encoding, then what you should do is create a custom avisynth profile in the script creator, and make it the same as the Default Profile, except without the <resize> line. This will mean that MeGUI doesn't put any resizing in, so if you always use that profile, then you will have a solution for what (I think) you are asking for. Quote:

Just rest assured that everywhere that you can edit the Aspect Ratio in MeGUI, it is DAR, which doesn't depend on the resolution. So you should have no problems (assuming you are using 0.2.3.2059 or later). You should see in the script creator that it now recommends Aspect Ratios of things like 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 47:20, 37:20. These are Display Aspect Ratios, and they are used throughout MeGUI. Don't worry about the effects of resizing -- only cropping is relevant. |

The queue window already requires horizontal scrolling, which is really ugly / hard to use. I'm not against adding more columns (I wanted to show the date, for instance, since most of my encodes take >1 day) but before we take suggestions like these we need to either (a) make the window a lot wider (b) make it resizable.
