yes...reported by several people already.

If you want a fresh & correct x264 build, ping me...

Downloaded older 1113 version from here: http://skystrife.com/x264/x264.1113M.x86.exe

Renamed it to x264.exe and replaced the one in the C:\Program Files\MeGUI\Tools\x264\ directory ran the same queued jobs and they seem to be working fine. Won't know for sure until encoding finishes, but looks like there is an issue with version 1114 and MeGUI of some kind.

There's a simpler solution than downloading an older x264. MeGUI keeps a backup of the previous x264.exe in the same tools directory mentioned above. So you can just rename the current x264.exe to something like "x264-broken.exe" and then rename the backup file as "x264.exe". It worked for me.

No rush in providing a new x264 bundle

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to extract subtitles from a ts stream that was recorded from my Scientific Atlanta 8300HD via firewire. No other subtitle extracting program even finds subtitles in the stream except for in megui in "HD streams Extractor." The actual source is of whose line is it anyways which is in 480i. When I extract the subtitles the subtitles are really scrambled but some parts are in line just buggy. Could someone possibly point me in the direction of a tool capable of extracting the subtitles properly? Thanks!!

EDIT: added an example of the subtitles. You can see if you open it in subresync or something like that, that the subtitles are not formatted correctly

You have probably already tried this but I use CCExtractor for my subtitles. It's never let me down yet, although I'm recording with Media Center on Vista, so I can't say if it will understand your stream or not.

Does anyone knows if MeGUI is already compatible with the x264 64bit version on vista 64? If so, does it benefit in any way?

Thank you so much. Would you happen to know how to cut subtitles with the cuts file that is saved in megui?

I just downloaded MeGUI but it doesn't have the option to put it to avi. How can I get this option?

I'm afraid not. I would suggest doing your cuts in another program before running it through meGUI. I found this to be easier in terms of workflow.

I use VideoReDo to cut my recordings, and then use CCExtractor to save the .srt file and load the results into meGUI for the encoding. I highly recommend VideoReDo for recorded material, since most programs don't handle errors in transmission, or audio sync issues as well as it does. Not a free program but well worth it.

And what's this?


Only Xvid and Snow in AVI/(MKV/RAWASP)
x264 = MP4/MKV/RAWAVC

Pretty simple

easy: you cant put h.264 in avi with megui and it will never let you do that even if it's theoretically possible. if you want to know why,

I wrote a script that will re-time and trim subtitles using an .avs with a series of Trim()s as the source. I believe there is also a Japanese executable that will do the job.

I've been working on automating .ts -> final mux with trims and subtitles. PM me and maybe we can share our knowledge. Or start a new thread someplace about .ts, subtitles, and demux / encode / mux chain.

Any plans for command line options?

Are there any plans to add command line invocation to megui? I would love to call:

megui.exe -inaudio=vid.avs -invideo=vid.avs -preset=ipod, and ipod would point to a given video and a given audio profile, and it would encode and mux the entire thing.

If there aren't plans, how much time do you estimate it would take? Is megui designed in such a way that the change would be easy to make? If so, I could add the feature myself.

Heh, yes. I realize it would be adding a command-line interface to a gui that is designed to wrap command-line utils. But megui provides such a nice queue, logging, and presets... it would be nice to at least have a

megui.exe --auto-queue --vidpreset="ipod" --audpreset="ipod" --muxpreset="mp4"

option that would add a file to the queue with an audio preset, video preset, and muxing preset.

Oh well. megui is still nice. :)
