I can't speak for anyone else, but it is rather convenient since it's included in the x264 full package (so you usually get the applicable updates for both in one simple download with installer), and contains almost everything you need if you only use MeGUI for x264 encoding.
It's also really convenient when you want to quickly set up a slave for encoding the video jobs while you typeset or edit, or slap out spreadsheets on another box. Not that I'd ever put work computers to use for anything that wasn't ultimately aiding the shareholders... Employee morale is important to productivity, right?

What I'd like to know (and I'm sure stax and Sirber as well), is why there are 9.5% using VfW and why people make their own scripts which is more effort than using a GUI with profiles.

1) It is hard to get most of these GUIs running on other operating systems than Windows. 2) Scripts can be easily used through SSH remote connections and they can be left running in the background when there is no connection. 3) Not everyone uses x264 to encode DVD sources. TV recording (timeshifting) and for example 24h video surveillance both require more automatic encoding which can be done either by including x264 support directly in the video capture program, or by simple scripting to enhance existing programs. |

i use batch script(s) for providing my editing stuff to the people (you know like work in progress stuff), it is avi->mp4 centric, and it is a one click encoding (just a button in total commander.)
however if i wanna be fancy i have set different encoding methods for both audio and video and you can call the script with a command line like: x264_ c:\file.avi d:\template.avs itunes slow (which is: use avisynth template called template.avs, use itunes for sound, use slow preset for x264) also the script will automagically hint the mp4 file, upload it to my ftp server and return the url, so that url gets mailed asap. - basically it is about the specific need.... edit: oh, i do use megui actually, mostly to rip shartooths presets.

But don't listen to me, I use X (which is my only desktop) just to have multiple terminal windows on the same screen, run a browser, an IM client and the occasional MPlayer instance |

I'm certain VFW has only stayed alive because of VDub. |

"your .avs" or "your.avi" file --> Open in Vdub and edit and frameserve to "your.vdr" file--> open "your.vdr" file in avisynth using avisource("mydrive:\your.vdr")--> open this .avs file in MeGUI, RealAnime, StaxRip, etc and encode. It's a little more of a hassle, but at least you get the better quality that the CLI version provides.

I used to use GKnot for bitrate calculation and avs generation and manually encoded in VDub.. but that was before I started adding all those tools to MeGUI.. I haven't installed GKnot anymore with the latest PC resetup back in June.. I've never had the need anymore.

Ok: batch file operation:
1. Open command prompt. 2. Navigate to your directory. 3. Type encode your_avs_script.avs MeGUI approach. 1. Open a window with your_avs_script.avs 2. Drag it onto MeGUI. 3. Press Queue. (With Autostart Queue turned on, that's enough) |
