but im not getting any audio encoding done with any of the encoders, winamp, faac or nero

ita a small vob file with ac3 track

some "thoughts":

1- Automkv encodes the avisynth script and ac3 file created by megui

2- i formated my pc last week and to avoid downloading all the megui 3rd party tools i backed up the megui folder and copied it to same place afterwards, does that affect megui inner workings?

also, does megui download any filters to avisynth plugins folder? because i might be missing some(ac3 decoder?) because of step 2.

EDIT: yes like i thought, nic audio was missing from avisynth plugins, its working now.

thanks everyone for the help

When I try to encode an MKV into an Xvid file with a profile that worked before, xvid_encraw.exe gets an error and needs to close like 1/4 way through the encoding process... I closed all processes, and I have no clue why this is happening... Seems to be since the update... anyone know where i can get the last version of xvid_encraw.exe so I can test this theory? I have no clue whats going on...

Yes I know but I meant the version just before the newest... I already forced an update in MeGUI twice just to make sure the file wasnt corrupt...

I am in the process of encoding a tv show and it seems to be working fine... its long MKV movies (in HD) that it seems to be crashing during... I have, however, encoded HD MKVs before the update fine... so i am thinking that this newer version has a bug with it, because I have not done anything to my computer before the update, everythis is the same as it was, but all of a sudden xvid_encraw.exe is crashing 25% thru encodes...

only time i have had this is when you try to use the sse2 version of nero enc with an amd cpu - and they are aware of this - seems someone used the wrong compiler

hi dudes
is it possible to add several encoding jobs at once?
I have to encode many little files and it just sux to do the very same clicks with every avs file again (i've already generated all avs files with dgindex)

Avisynth Script for DVD to Ipod Touch

Can anyone post an optimal script, for converting clean DVD movie source to Ipod touch compaitible Mp4.

I ran some tests using megui, using the PD-Iphone profile, 650 bit rate, and automated 3 pass, 560 * 346 ( i think) and the quality was good, but still seemed a bit pixelated and blocky at times (even with 3 passes and original dvd source).

I think the problem may be in my script, it is the most minimal, just outlineing the size, and borders, and a bit of saturation.

Can anyone post a good script I can use?

Is Ipone using h264 or an mp4 asp? Even h264 with lots of the nice options disabled might be hardpressed with many sources to give you a good result at that res & bitrate.

If you want informed comment you'll need to post a link to a sample of your source & your existing script. Someone else might then take a look, though probably not me as I'm short of time atm.

Edit: I have no idea what the Ipone profile is, as there's no profile here of that name.

It's basically for my Ipod touch, which uses the same videos as an iphone.

It can take H264 in an mp4 container.

Now I have had some excellent results using this program called handbreak (also h264 in mp4) but that program doesn't give you the freedom you have with megui (if anything the quality was great , but lacked some colour) , so would like to get it right with megui

If the profile is a custom one, post it as well.

Hm, so baseline, no b-frames, 1 ref, no cabac? That's quite restrictive, but if you've got good results at the same spec with handbrake it must be possible.

I am at work now, so can't really post many details, but the Profile was not custom, but came with the megui bundle ( along with profiles for PS3 etc etc )

But it is possible to achieve high quality as the handbrake tests have shown, and I would much prefer using megui and avisynth as it can be tailered to your needs.

Do you think it could be the profile I am using that is not optimum?

What's the profile name? I have a PD-iPhone profile, but no Ipone profile.

Edit: ah, I see you do mean PD-iPhone, having edited your original post

I don't know why you're getting better results with Handbrake. You really need to do some further research or get help from someone familiar with Megui & Handbrake, who encodes for such devices. I've never used Handbrake myself, nor baseline with x264.

OTTOMH however, I'd be more inclined to compare x264 command line options first, before looking at any preprocessing the two apps are doing.

I still suggest you post more details when you can though, as I imagine any reader who can help is more likely to, the better you define the problem.

Best of luck.
