Which one? The one from avisynth or megui\tools\avisynth_plugins?

Error 1: happen when I select all profile and hit on import.

Error 2: same as error 1

Error 3 & 4 at the same time when I want to close meGUI.

1 + 2) fixed (forgot to put the MessageBoxExLib.dll in the zip file...)
3 + 4) because of 1+2 the file handle could not be closed and therefore it can not be deleted/written during MeGUI closing ==> fixed

I will upload the new build soon.

why are the main developers of megui gone?

They didn't made a statement and only few things are known like sharktooth's health condition. Kurtnoise made a statement a while back saying something like like pausing computing generally but never made it true, maybe he made it now true but in this case he would have made another statement probably, I guess he isn't sure atm., he is still reading the forum.

Kurtnoise stopped after the last release which caused a lot problems for many users. I don't know exactly of what nature these problems were but it seemed the way some users reacted might have played a role, users with little support and understanding. If that's true it would be sad for supportive users like Inspector.Gadget. A way to deal with it could be to ignore unhelpful feedback and only support helpful feedback instead.

It will now save the last used format.

Fixed.

New build has been uploaded:

- [MeGUISettings] removed the http://megui.org/auto/ update server
- [VideoEncodingComponent] + [MeGUISettings] added file format saving
- [x264ConfigurationPanel] Turbo mode can be changed in automated 2 or 3 pass

Because I did not receive any negative feedback regarding the development build I have deleted the "stable" build.

Can you please describe the problem in more detail? I do not use neroencaac.exe and a more detailed explanation (like the wrong parameter) should make it easier for me to fix the problem.

Great, this works now it remembers your last setting for file format

Every setting I tried works from the main x264 configuration GUI except I'm still having a problem setting a value for rc-lookahead (doesn't show up in command line at all)

Can you update meGUI to support the new combined DGIndexNV? The way it is set up now you have to specify a path to DGAVCIndex, DGVC1Index, and DGMPGIndex. Now there is only DGIndexNV.

Anyone know what is the safest way to put the new build on top of my current build ("stable" build)?

Oh! Sad to hear that. What about him? Anyway, I hope he will get better soon.

As soon as I change the value for "Nb. of Frames for Lockahead" the change is shown in the command line. Therefore I can not reproduce your problem. Can you explain the problem in more detail?

The main problem is that I do not have a license for the DGDecNV tool. If the commands have not changed between the old 3 tools version and now it should be possible. I cannot promise that I am able to change it.

Create a backup of your MeGUI folder (in case something goes wrong) and copy the new files into the original directory.

The same for me, not a big problem in my workflow. BTW when for example I load the .mp4 audio file in a gui like mkvmerge i see two, let me say, parts: the correct aac audio track & also this fake chapter. Not a big problem because with mkvmerge yuo can disable the fake chapter & then muxing mormally. For sure some mounths ago this strange stuff doesn't heppend.

Thankyou guys for all!

Which value do you would like to set and so on. At the moment I can confirm that a value of 40 will never be displayed regardless of the preset level. This is wrong and will be fixed. All other values should be shown in the command line (if it is not the default value of the preset). Please enter for example 41 and it should be visible.

[quantum5uicid3]

no it doesn't matter what it's set to, ive tried a wide variety of values

Can you do this for audio file format as well?

Thanks. It works great - I love the idea of having all the updated tools included.

When I installed it, the tools "oggenc2", "STX264", and "TXviD" all still asked to update. I updated oggenc2, but as I imagine the profiles you included are probably more updated than the ones included in STX264 and TXvid I downloaded them (to get rid of the "update" question) but did not install any of the profiles. I don't know if it is possible to avoid those tools not appeariing as updated, but I thought I'd mention it in case.
