Ok, well I've got some more requests (that are hopefully easier to add):
Could downsampling be added to the audio config menu? Could you add some extra "Storage Mediums" to the drop-down list in One Click Encoder? Specifically, a 512 card (which has a capacity of 483MB, and since you can't just overburn maybe 480000KB to be on the safe side) and a 1GB card (capacity of 973MB, so 970000KB).

why on earth would you want to downsample? You're entering territory I do not want to go into.. downsampling is a bad idea. From a coding point of view it wouldn't be hard to implement though.
And obviously I could add a million different output sizes.. but that's what custom is for. Why those sizes? Are you thinking PSP? If so forgettabaoutit, it's not gonna happen. See this posts for details why: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...590#post681590

More like Zodiac, using TCPMP
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about (also, x264 works but is far too slow compared to hardware XviD playback) Also I was just suggesting downsampling because it helps at lower bitrates, e.g. a 24khz audio file at 64kbps might sound better than 48khz at 64kbps. I mean, this is "the most comprehensive GUI", right? Last edited by Twisted Ladder; 11th July 2005 at 07:44. |

It's the same way how 300kbps 15fps would look better than 30fps, because although there would be less frames, as a direct result the remaining frames would be less compressed. Same applies to audio, although 24khz wouldn't be as "smooth", it would be less compressed.
*shrug* All the cool kids are making CD backups I guess But even still I imagine some non-audiophiles would be willing to use 64kbps 24khz audio in order to fit a little more video quality on 1-CD backups. |

You're a tough one to convince, aren't you? Well fine don't take my word for it:
http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...M2JV6XG2E0ZQJ8 http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...63J8JLP1HEXYMW As you can hear, at this bitrate 24khz clearly sounds much cleaner and less compressed. |

umm.. 64kbit any no HE AAC? That's just the bitrate HE was made for.

sounds like your player doesn't handle the HE part properly.. I'm currently listening to a HE 64kbit stereo soundtrack.. while even a non audiophile like me can hear the difference, it does sound quite okay (but it's not up to my standards).

the one after that... with a working bitrate calculator

Code:
if (fileType.SelectedIndex == 1 || (fileType.SelectedIndex == 2 && settings.X264Encoder == 0)) this.saveFileDialog.Filter = "MPEG-4 AVC RAW Files|*.264"; else this.saveFileDialog.Filter = "MP4 Files|*.mp4"; and,Is it "--pass 3" or "--pass 2" means the 2nd pass of x264 3pass encoding? MeGUI use the "--pass 3" arg for 2nd pass in logfiles. |

uhh.. where's that bit of code from? there's 1.24 MB of code in total

@edit: never mind, it's the output filename selection. I never bothered with the output selection since it's done automatically.. and while the filter isn't correct, the filename you'll end up with is correct so there's no reason for a quick fix.

I've been looking at Matroska muxing a bit in my idle time. The thing I'm wondering is this: what is the purpose of creating a specific mkv muxing section of the gui? There is already a very good gui for muxing which is part of mkvtoolnix. Would it be better just to have matroska muxing for autoencode/oneclick jobs, and not really visible to the user except in the filetype combo box?

well, you always have to deal with pre-existing streams, so you kinda need a stripped down muxing GUI. Naturally it would be very much feature limited and basically look like the mp4 muxer, but you have to assign language codes, and additional input somewhere.

The thing about language codes is that you need to specify the the input stream number for the language code (ie if you want an audio track to be labeled as english, then you need to do something like --language 0:eng, where 0 is the track number of the INPUT file). So, either you assume that you are dealing with raw or one-stream files, and the track number is always 0, or else you have to do some file parsing, look through the tracks, and ask the user which track he/she wants to use as input.

I know that.. but that doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect on the outcome. The muxer works the way I expect it to (leaving the still open bugs in mp4box aside), and the overhead calculations seem to work (I'm actually surprised on how little problems there are with overhead.. the reason I started with mp4 was to get statistics but nobody reports them back, and nobody complains about oversize - or if they do, it's not due to improper calculations).
