It should not be necessary to actually install the AppleApplicationSupport.msi.

I've created a script to extract the necessary files for qaac from e.g. the QuickTimeInstaller.exe:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ysj4ph04vt3b8g

Please report in case I have missed a file. I have only tested it with QuickTimeInstaller.exe and done one quick encode.

Hi, megui detect qaac as installed but profiles doesnt showed. But I can export profiles with qaac. What do I wrong??

[TheLongshot]

I seem to have a problem file. I was indexing an old MPG file which was a TS recorded with an OTA card, with the commercials edited out. Indexing with DGIndex crashes. Indexing with FFMSIndex generates an error that Audio changes modes (presumably because of residual commercial information.)

I've searched around, but I haven't found how I can fix this. Any hints?

Have you enabled the QAAC checkbox in the MeGUI settings? Have you closed MeGUI after you have enabled it?

[LigH]

After clicking the checkbox "Enable QAAC" in the "External Program Configuration" tab of the "Settings" dialog, you'll get the message:

---------------------------
Restart required
---------------------------
You have to restart MeGUI in order to get access to the QAAC profiles!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

It's not profiles imho...presets should be use instead.

[Shevek]

I had to restart twice to get the profile, this was how it worked with me:

Tick the QAAC box in settings.

Restart MeGUI

Prompted to update and download QAAC

Profile not in drop down

Restart MeGUI

Profile now in drop down

Is it possible to prompt for a restart from the updater if downloading QAAC for the first time?

I have a lot of avi files that have ac3 audio in them and now I have to use VirtualDubMod to extract the audio. Would it be possible to add support for extracting ac3 audio from an avi container or to add support for muxing ac3 audio in a avi container into a mkv container?

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Could you open a feature request in megui website to mention this please ?

[DoctorM]

Since "Target Playback Device" is replacing x264 presets, any chance we could get some more devices listed? Would very much like to see BD5 and BD9 get added.

Also it looks like some of the profiles could benefit from separate 720p vs 1080p settings.

Until a integrated MeGUI tool can do the job, you can use manually the megui\tools\avimux_gui\AVIMux_GUI.exe:

1) Open your avi in upper window.
2) Select the avi and click over 'Generate data source from files'
3) Select the audio track to extract and right-click -> 'extract binary'

There are a important difference between audio tracks extracted with AVIMux_GUI and VirtualDubMod when the audio track have a fake delay in avi container.

The VirtualDubMod extracted files have garbage (normally bytes '0') at the begining of the file, before the first valid header, to emulate the delay. AviMuxGUI remove this garbage.

The VirtualDubMod extracted files with garbage can be rejected by MkvMerge or stored without the garbage and you lose the delay.

When you select the audio track in point 3), AviMuxGUI show the delay than you need add to the extracted track when you mux with MkvMerge.

For BD-5/9, select AVCHD as the device.

Good to know. Thanks.

2236 [Log] renamed Haali Muxer to Haali Splitter and fixed a problem displaying the warning icon in Windows 7/8
2235 [AviSynth Script Creator] fixed "Suggest Resolution (mod16)" handling
                               added option to select 2/4/8 as mod values for "Suggest Resolution"

I will release a new stable build in the next days. Are there any open problems left?

[kalehrl]

added option to select 2/4/8 as mod values for "Suggest Resolution"

Great work Zathor!
Now it only takes resize aspect error calculator to be added and I can put Yoda resize calculator to rest

Yes, the one I mentioned before. After using 2 workers, the next time you restart MeGUI and do one job the status window will disappear after creating the index.

Please explain that in more detail. Do you need the information about the aspect ratio error? Or anything else?

I cannot reproduce that. Please provide more details. Additionally please upload the file joblist.xml and the folder jobs (saved after closing MeGUI and a second copy a while later when MeGUI is running and not showing the job status window)

Here is a video of exactly what I mean. Do you still need the above? http://youtu.be/6LLjd4mUZkk

You will see that clicking on the 2nd status window does nothing. The 'tick' does not go on and off like the first status window. (It is not on another screen somewhere). Does this just pertain only to my computer?
