Win7 sleep interrupting transcoding

[Robmoo]

Under Vista while transcoding my computer would continue to run. Under windows 7 my computer keeping going to sleep while Megui is transcoding. I don't want to disable sleep. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

It's rather funny that the computer goes into sleep mode when all 4 cores at running at 100%.

Yeah, really. It seems Windows 7 is way more aggressive about going into Standby--running programs need to issue some special command to tell W7 to "lay off"! Dunno how you'd implement in MeGUI, but for my batch files I've inserted these commands fore-and-aft of the x264 encoding process (an ugly workaround IMO):

Fore:
powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac 0

Aft:
powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac 15

Sound like something that wouldn't be too hard to add into the script creator.
