if you have installed something AFTER h264enc has created its config file, it won't find it. The reason why is explained in the -r option which you should read and run to recreate the config file. Also aacplusenc is only for HE-AAC (aka AAC+) audio, if you need LC-AAC, use neorAacEnc or FAAC, though nero also supports HE and HEv2
if you still get problems, you can set the paths to the programs manually by opening the config file which is located in /home/username/.h264enc/config |

It works great! Thank you!
I'm wondering about the aspect ratio. My video ends up being stretched to fit the entire screen. Is there a way to have it preserve whatever aspect ratio the movie has without having to manually specify it each time? Is there a way to have h264enc encode a video in the same way each time so I don't have to go through the interactive choices? |

It doesn't seem like a Nokia thing, I think it's in the encoding. Didn't h264enc expand the movie's aspect ratio to fill 320x240 when I specified that resolution? In the past I used an unreliable ffmpeg script to encode a different movie and it preserved the aspect ratio with black bars on the top and bottom.

I don't have much experience with the expand filter, but it can be either used to add black bars or set the aspect ratio for the output, eg -vf expand=320:::::16/9 you will probably have to do a few experiments on your own to see how it goes for you |

ChangeLog for version 8.6.9
Code:
* Add title/movie name to MKV and OGM as meta-info. The title is taken from the output name provided by the user. For directory encodings, this will be skipped * Add audio codec and audio language meta-info to MKV when encoding DVDs and copying the audio track(s). Requested by Quentin Jackson * Added support for the expand video filter * Slightly improved info when the script is called without any parameters * Implemented denoising presets for the 'tn' temporal denoiser * Merge the mp3, aac, ac3 exporting code with the ffac3 and ffdts one since it's the same for the second audio track |

Thank you very much for the update. I tried forcing the input ratio and it created a video which had the correct aspect ratio on my computer via mplayer but the Nokia expands it to fill the whole screen.
I also tried the expand filter and it's on the right track but I can't get it right. If I specify either 320:::::4/3 or 240:::::4/3 I get the right shape with a 4/3 video window and black bars on the top and bottom on my computer, but the resolution ends up being 428x320 and of course the Nokia refuses to play it. I can't figure out how to expand a 16/9 video to 4/3 by creating black bars and maintaining 320x240 resolution. |

-vf expand=aspect=4/3,scale=320:240 Seems that the operations and their order is exactly the same as in your question. Logical. Last edited by nm; 19th January 2009 at 21:35. |

When I answer:
Specify the Expand filter values [press 'Enter' to skip]: aspect=4/3 I get the following when encoding should begin: Code:
The round option must be an integer: =4/3 Option vf: Error while parsing expand parameter round (=4/3) Exiting... (error parsing command line) -> MEncoder has exited with a non-zero value! -> Exiting in function: mencoder_exit() |

ChangeLog for version 8.7.0 - small release
Code:
* Added support for setting the position of the expand filer when scaling is used. The user can now choose to place it before or after the scale filter. Previously the expand filter was always placed after the scale filter which is not optimal in certain cases * Small improvement/fix: when encoding two audio tracks to HE-AAC audio and muxing them into MKV, mkvmerge uses for both tracks the same track ID (1) while h264enc assumes that the second track uses track ID 2 which is wrong so the option --aac-is-sbr 2:1 is incorrect here and should actually be --aac-is-sbr 1:1 for the second audio track you can now use aspect=4/3 (and place the expand filter before scaling) |
