I'm sorry, but this is still seeming very mysterious to me, I'm SURE I'm missing something here. You say the file is 'Saved', but where? Unless I terminate the program prematurely I never see it. Is it stored somewhere else maybe?

Thanks!

Do you mean that if I add/change the cmd line in that BE_open.txt file, somehow mysteriously the NEXT time I just happen to open the program with whatever totally different encode I'm going to do, it will somehow REMEMBER whatever changes I did the LAST time even though there may be absolutely no connection between the two times?

You see what I mean, how confusing it is? I PROMISE, once I've got this then that should be it!

Edit the commandline in BE_open.txt file, save it and restart clever FFmpeg-GUI.
The file is read in with the modified commandline. If you go to "Batch tasks" and click execute, the task will be executed with the modified commandline.

Ah, good, thanks for your patience!

One LAST thing...

So, at this point the BE_open.txt file is in the same folder where the original file to be encoded is, and the program is closed. Okay... so, then if I wish to edit that file I can do so and save it. Got it...

But, WHERE do I save it? Do I just leave it in this random folder where my LAST encode happened to be and CleverFFMpeg will just somehow go and find it for my next encode when I open the program, because at this point the program is not running and the txt file is just sitting in the folder where the previous file to be encoded was. Does CleverFFMpeg just magically somehow search EVERYWHERE when I open it the next time and just fine it no matter where it is? See what I mean...

OR... is there a specific place where I should save it? Just seems a bit odd simply to save it exactly where the last file happened to be.

That should do it!

The place where this file has to be is the output folder.
The output folder is saved by clever Ffmpeg-GUI, so there is no magic.

Thanks mate! So then, it simply remembers the last output folder somehow, even though it has been closed.

So, say I've edited the text now that the program is not running, okay... So what, I just leave the newly edited txt file in that same 'OUTPUT' folder, right? (I'm now thinking THAT is the key!) In other words, KEEPING the same output folder is the trick, right? So when I open in next time it THEN reads the edited txt file when it opens.

Ah...! I think I talked myself into it... Using the SAME output folder, that is it, isn't it? Please just tell me I'm right and I will leave you in peace...

So, now if anyone asks me...

I'll just tell them that the file is saved in the same output folder.

Mystery solved... Glad no actual Voodoo was involved...

Newest beta (v3.2.8.03), online now.

Added:
New function: If the program is closed and there are still unprocessed batch tasks or processed streams that have not yet been muxed, the program starts directly in the batch tasks section or in the multiplex section.
The batch tasks section has priority.
Tooltip for change framrate in various section.

Fixed:
Bug in batch tasks for file names with non-conforming characters.

Removed:
Mux dvb_subtitle in m2ts not working, mux pgs subtitle in ts, not working.

@ProWo Is this a FFmpeg limitation as tsMuxer can mux PGS subtitles just fine in the TS container?

Tested again, I confirm that it does not work.
The error message:
Stream 2, codec hdmv_pgs_subtitle, is muxed as a private data stream and may not be recognized upon reading.

Yep, when I was trying to figure out my 'situation', I tried muxing in the 'corrected' PGS subtitle that BDRB converted from my mistaken SRT format. But CleverFFMpeg on the streams page would not allow me to select it and just stated that this file cannot be converted (or even read or passed through apparently)

@ProWo I just tested with the official v3.2.7 release & curiously I received no error message about the PGS subtitle stream when muxing to a TS container, task completed successfully & yet like you've confirmed the PGS subtitle stream is not present in the TS file, I tried again with M2TS & there were no such issues Is this something you could potentially rectify in a future release as it's a strange anomaly as tsMuxer has no such issues?

Unfortunately, I can't do anything about this because clever FFmpeg is designed as a pure FFmpeg frontend.
Only when FFmpeg can mux pgs into ts can I customize it.

Would it be kindly possible to make the program totally portable? (that is, It keeps all configuration files within it's executable folder, no infoes to registry, and stores all paths in a format relative to the executable binary file).

Thank you

how do I use clever FFmpeg-GUI to make image sequences, preview videos, and extract frames, both with and without subtitles that are embedded in them?
