don't forget that latest oggenc2 build support 5.1 channel in correct order
Oh Shit...
Please, provide me download link for fresh valid oggenc2

Keep in mind current build using old (improper) Oggenc 5.1 channel order

[nurbs]

Please, provide me download link for fresh valid oggenc2


Rarewares (http://rarewares.org/ogg.html) normally has up to date builds, but I don't know if it supports the proper channel mapping yet.

ohhh dimzon Roks!, Thanks a lot

about ogg, which to use

- Oggenc2.83 using libVorbis v1.1.2
- Oggenc2.83 using libVorbis v1.1.2 with IMPULSE_TRIGGER_PROFILE Option
- Oggenc2.83 using aoTuVb4.51

[dimzon]

Please, provide me link to fresh FFMPEG binary (i want to add AC3 and MP2 encoding)

[shon3i]

Here lastest

[berrinam]

You haven't committed AudXConfigurationDialog.cs, AudXSettings.cs, WinAmpAACConfigurationDialog.cs, WinAmpAACSettings.cs. I can't compile.

[bob0r]

@dimzon

Hmm mytemp dir?

http://mirror05.x264.nl/dimzon/ this account never stopped working, you probably lost it's info?

[max-holz]

Could you update the public SVN on sourceforge?

Commit by dimzon:
- AC3 encoding via FFMPEG
- MP2 encoding via FFMPEG

compiled binary (http://www.mytempdir.com/665655)

[dimzon]

You haven't committed AudXConfigurationDialog.cs, AudXSettings.cs, WinAmpAACConfigurationDialog.cs, WinAmpAACSettings.cs. I can't compile.
Sorry, already commited in previous commit.

btw. Does anybody need more audio codecs?

[Doom9]

I think we already have too many audio codecs. For instance I don't really see the point of MP2 and AC3 encoding in MeGUI.. it's not like we're creating DVDs so there are better options for both stereo and multichannel audio.

[asdfsauce]

AC3 and MP2 would be usefull if you ever added MPEG2 encoding, which would be nice. (please don't hurt me)

[dimzon]

Complete agreed. Why not to add Mpeg2 video support in far future. AFAIK FFMPEG MPEG2 3-pass is one of the best MPEG2 encoder avaluable (it's even beat commercial analogs in quality terms). In other side it's really easy to add new audio encoders to MeGUI so why not add something like WavPack etc (in future)

[ChronoCross]

I've come up with a new design for the essentials package based on berrinam's suggestions for when auto update functionality is added.

MeGUI

Audio

Audx
Coding Technologies
FAAC
ffmpeg
Lame
Nero
OggVorbis

Containers

AVC2AVI
avimuxgui
DGIndex
Divxmux
MKVToolnix
mp4box

Data
Filters
Jobs
Logs

Huffy-Snow-LMP4

xvid



Does anyone see anything I might have missed? I think I pretty much covered every features as of right now in the devl build.

[dimzon]

0.2.3.2145 15 May 2006
Commit by dimzon:
- refactoring: IAudioSettingsProvider implementation via Generics
- refactoring: Small cosmetic ClassName renaming (faacConfigurationDialog -> FaacConfigurationDialog etc)

now take look how it looks:
public class NeroAACSettingsProvider : AudioSettingsProviderImpl<NeroAACSettings, NeroAACConfigurationDialog>
{
public NeroAACSettingsProvider():base("ND AAC")
{
}
}

[dimzon]

I think I pretty much covered every features as of right now in the devl build.
AFAIK we can/planing to use ffmpeg for Video encoding too

How's the "settings file" generation/installing going to be handled? ...If you don't mind me asking here.

"Huffy-Snow-LMP4"

Does that mean one out of those three? And Huffy=Huffyuv?

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Where is binary for 0.2.3.2146? Link for download?

Unfortunately I have no solution at the moment. Right now I'm making it beofrehand, it's set to the default install path(which is what everone should use for consistency.

mencoder currently handles all 3. but to make it more informative for users I used that folder name

@KRP
be patient I'll have a build up shortly.

@dimzon

attention to normalize() fuction... try with an audio of more than 2hr... i got crash from neroaacenc and oggvorbis

afaik normalize() don't work well with piping

please, provide bug report

i have done some more test

my bad ! i used a broken ac3

sorry again !

Would it be a good idea to switch from SourceForge to Microsoft CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/) in light of the recent problems?

I would say no.

[Carpo]

anything to do with ms is a bad idear ;)

[stax76]

You probably missed it but MeGUI is already for Windows only, based on .NET 2 and coded with VisualStudio or to say it short evil Microsoft all over the place.

no i never missed it although you might have missed i was taking the micheal ;p

[stax76]

What did you expect? Do you think it's appropriate to post things like 'anything to do with ms is a bad idear' in a dev thread of a application that is MS through and through, I doubt so. This thread is about MeGUI development and not random MS bashing.

[ChronoCross]

I would tend to agree with this statement in some cases (DRM, TC, and WMP) however my reasoning is a bit different and goes more along the lines of what the dev's have been saying about the project.

The whole point of not moving somewhere else is not only the fact that it is our current known location but also that all the version history would be lost. Also having to learn a new site would slow development considerably. Additionaly all our second hand resources would have to be changed such as the megui home page and whotnot. moving is a big hassle. The new cvs is online and asap they are going to move to svn.

- Add support for auto update

[shon3i]

Oh man, auto update work perfetcly, Thanks a lot, but one missing, enc_aacplus.dll, i know this licence shits, but put it on the server please? because encAACplus, is unuse without this dll.

[ChronoCross]

it's a little tacky in terms of organization. but what can I argue. I'm going to discontinue work on the essentials package since it's no longer going to be used.

See bug report thread for problems with auto update.

Sorry i just ask, but not in that way am not ask for piratated version, for example Media Coder use it but from winamp. btw coding technologies is free but winamp ripping technology isn't so then MeGUI dev's can ask Winamp devs on winamp forums and found the real truth.

[berrinam]

it's a little tacky in terms of organization.Huh? I don't understand.

Anyway, this is naturally just the first commit. Any suggestions/modifications are always welcome. Also, I just put the files on the web from what I could get. If anyone has better builds (eg of mencoder) please let me know. Also, contact Richard Berg to see if you can also get access to the megui.org server, so that you can add stuff if you want.

Some things I'm looking at for the future:
Managing installation from an archive (a local repository, no downloads needed. For an offline install)
Managing processor dependencies and OS dependencies. This is because some builds are specifically for some processors, etc, and mkvtoolnix is also distributed in unicode and non-unicode forms. Unfortunately, I don't know how to find out the processor and OS, so someone else will need to give a hand there.
Some way to properly detect the versions of files that are already installed. Perhaps also a 'urgency of update' rating, so for AviSynth and AviSynth plugins, if they are simply there, that is sufficient (they don't need to be the latest version). If someone would like to suggest an architecture for this and/or implement it, that would be great.

Anything else to add?

[ChronoCross]

I meant by tacky because each program has it's own folder (which is fine) cept that it puts them all in the root directory. There doesn't seem like any method to the madness.

[berrinam]

Ahhh, ok. I've fixed that in my local version.
