View Full Version : What should I call my x264 GUI?

I'm making a GUI for x264 that is almost 1 click, all you have to do is import a video and click convert to make a high quality encode. I wrote this program because my brothers always complained that all the encoding programs I use, such as MeGUI were much too complicated for them. My program will do calculations for bitrate and resolution as well aspect ratio. You can custom change a bunch of options, nothing super advanced just yet but I will add that later.

My bitrate calculations are slightly based on the auto resizing feature in nero recode.

The problem is I can't seem to think of a good name, I want something that can be easy to remember.

You may name it as ASXGui (Another Simple X.264 GUI) or maybe use your brother's name (or part of it) in the program name. :)

Have you completed it?

I kinda like ASXGui.

I'm just about finished with it, just testing a few things then I should be able to put it up here.

great...I shall wait for your release. :)

One request, please keep an option of encoding the Audio in 5.1 channel (Nero AAC supports that), otherwise it will be little crippled like FUWizard (IMHO)

Let me know know the name you have decided upon...

Yeah it can encode in 5.1 channels, but make sure you don't have any audio upmixers tuned on such as ac3filter's upmixer or ffdshow's upmixing capabilities. Make sure those filters output the audio's original channels before running my program.

Ok.....but how exactly do I ensure that?
