i'm currently encoding with x264 and megui, but apparently that setup is not really happy with the system going to hibernate during an encode. once the system gets out of hibernate megui just hangs, i.e. the time keeps counting, but no further frame gets encoded.
i guess the problem is that the underlying network connection to the samba share which x264 is reading from got terminated during the hibernation, but for e.g. vdubmod it's no problem to resume an encode from/to a smb-sahre even with multiple hibernation phases.
is this a problem of megui or of x264 and is there anything one (or even i) can do about it apart from moving all files to a local disk before encoding?
btw, who's deleting the current output file if i press abort in megui? is that megui or x264? because i'd appreciated it if the result of multiple hours of encoding would have been kept on the disk when i aborted the encode ;)
