Add a "just mux" feature for the audio similar to what Gordian Knot does.
That already exists.. auto mode is your friend.

1. I would suggest a send to tray button so you can visually hide MeGUI while it's doing its job.
2. Furthermore I would suggest to make the Status window a child of the main MeGUI window so there's only one item in the taskbar (but that's probably a matter of preference).
3. Something I'd like to see is Ogg Vorbis support as it's the only good free low bitrate codec at the moment (FAAC isn't tuned and afaik generally worse than Vorbis and the Nero AAC codec isn't free. Itunes AAC codec is for free and quite good imho but not very well supported via cli.). The obvious drawback: You can only sanely use it in mkv.

Just some suggestions from my side. I hope I didn't miss some already existing features which would already cover my feature requests.

edit: grammar

Load Defaults button (not only the button but the function too )

Just a simple load defaults button with a pop-up asking you yes/no, because sometimes people click the wrong button and all previous set options will be gone.

Yes, and I have no idea how it would be possible for a Mono-application to open AviSynth-scripts via Wine. Just regard it as a desperate cry for a decent encoding GUI on Linux. And I mean 'decent'.

Perhaps it will happen just in time for AviSynth 3...

@bob0r: Defaults across the entire GUI? What you want has the same effect as removing the settings.xml file?

I'd like "reload defaults" buttons in every codec settings preferences or alternatively for every codec/encoder a default preset which is not deletable.

edit: making more sense

AviSynth isn't the only problem for making this run on Linux.. there's also a dgdecode dependency in the avisynth script creator. And Linux has no proper multimedia API that's available on a kernel level (so it would be in every distro), has it?
Basically if you need both the AviFile API and DGDecode, and there are other things. For instance environment variables (number of CPUs, path), a Linux BeSweet, etc.

That sounds reasonable and is easy to implement in just a few lines of code.

move the profile selection drop down list in the config dialog window to the bottom of that window, so that it will be visible and accessible in all tabs.

I've implemented one of the simple requests:
- progress window now has a Hide button
- View -> Progress menu item is now a toggle

Modified files are attached. You'll need to diff against the CVS copies as of about 2 days ago (sorry, I didn't save a copy, and I only have anonymous CVS access).
Attached Files
File Type: rar hide-progress.rar (37.9 KB, 235 views)

Can you elaborate on that? We already have an option in the settings that allows you to configure if the progress window automatically comes up when a job is being started (except for an index job, there it makes little sense to have a progress window since dgindex doesn't return any progress reports), and the view - progress menu is context sensitive, so the actual menu option is only active when there's no progress window on screen.

The View -> Progress menu item now has 3 states:
- disabled
- enabled but not checked (progress window hidden).
- enabled and checked (progress window shown)

Clicking it toggles back & forth between the latter states. Test the code, it's very simple.

Multiple (more than 2) audio/subs tracks and psp stuff.

Multiple (more than 2) audio/sub tracks is my first complain with pretty much every gui out there (excluding the old dvd2ogm and dvd::rip). I would often like to rip the original soundtrack, the comments, the track in english or my native language, and maybe french since I'm trying to study it. From what I understand, it's mainly a gui problem since I can include as many tracks I want in mp4 or mkv, right?

For the psp it would be useful to be able to choose the sampling rate for the audio (psp only supports 48000Hz). Automatic running of atomchanger would be very useful as well

Yes but I dare presume 2 tracks is sufficient for most people. After all, you are likely to only watch the movie with the commentary track once, so that can be done off the DVD, and that leaves two tracks for you Even though I speak 4 languages fluently, I'd never consider keeping more than two tracks in a backup (which after all is just that.. the original DVD is stored away safely and still in my posession). Generally when taking something on the road, a single track will even suffice.

I've updated the list of all feature requests on the first post. If I have missed anything, or you feel I haven't done your request justice, please tell me.

You already have that in the queue, a precise time down to the second. Why would you need anything else?
