made a mistake with the zip file. fixed

megui profile setting
changed user setting
if changed --preset overrides all settings
if changed --tune overrides all settings
if changed --profile overrides all settings
custom command line overrides all settings

That's not good at all, but if you understand how it works it is possible to create stable profiles.
OK. I suppose the best order, followin along with how X264 by default works, would be something like this, each overriding the previous when it applies:
  1. x264 preset
  2. x264 tune
  3. megui profile setting - whenever it is not the "default" (that is, whenever it appears in the "command line" which appears inside the megui profile - that way the user can expect that the command line which appears in MeGUI will act just as it would if he were to type that command line in MSDOS)
  4. custom command line

Confirmed. Works great. I deleted all other profiles and imported only these. Do we still need STx264? It might be helpful to clean up the profiles to just drop it now that we have the new ones.

Update all to the last revisions, seems work good. A question about presets slide: why when i move from very slow to slower a --bframe 8 appear?

slide in "very slow" position:
Code:
program --preset veryslow --thread-input --output "output" "input"
now slide in "slower" position:
Code:
program --preset slower --thread-input --bframes 8 --output "output" "input"

Thanks, there is an error in applying the bframes in the preset slower. Will be fixed in the next update.

Hi Zathor,

thanks for reviving megui development! Really an impressive number of improvements in build 1058!

Just a small error:
When you move the megui folder to another path, all folders that are subfolders of megui are updated in the options automatically except:
-update path
-avisynth plugins path

Can't wait to test more improvements in megui thanks to your skills!

Regards,
Raist

DGSource("C:\CH010_0920_2033.dga", deinterlace=2, resize_w=1280, resize_h=720)


why use deinterlace=2
fps change to 59.94fps???
---[NoImage] avs [warning]: converting input clip to YV12
---[NoImage] avs [info]: 1280x720 @ 59.94 fps (3066 frames)

use deinterlace=1
fps Normal
fps=29.970

Because BOBBING ALWAYS DOUBLES THE FRAMERATE. That's not a MeGUI topic anyway, take it up in the existing DGNV tools thread.

Another question about "preset setting" switch in "misc" tab of x264 configuration window: how does it work? Or better, what is the difference from "preset setting" switch and "Presets" slide on "main" tab.?

Trying server: http://www.constructd.com/megui
Retrieving update file from server...
Error: Couldn't connect to server.
Error: Could not download XML file

EDIT:

Im glad to see megui workinf fine again it was my favourite gui.

I already have a few features planed for the next milestone release. But of course there may be problems implementing them and therefore I will only comment on or publish an feature if it is proofed to be working (at least for me) or if I need additional input from the community (like below).

Thanks for the feedback. I will change that behavior.
I would like to change it so that all of the file and path settings will be tied up so that the files have to be in the tools directory at the specified location. That's the way most of the other GUIs work and I think it's the best solution in order to keep it simple and with less problems (like the UAC problem when the files have to be copied in a special directory). What do you and all others think?

Both do more or less the same. If you move the slider the settings will be applied all over the tabs. The "preset setting" will write them back to the tabs in case you have changed a preset setting like the number of reference frames and do not want to move the slider.

Zathor: Although I don't use MeGUI for the last one year or so, I'd like to thank you for trying to fix a great tool for a lot of users out there. One question: Can't you get SVN access? Maybe ask Kurtnoise or Doom9? It would be nice to have all of your changes in the trunk.
I patched the source with your patch, updated the AssemblyInfo for MediaInfoWrapper and meGUI and updated MediaInfo.dll to 0.7.25 and compiled a new installer for those who used the old one.
You can find it here. (no changes have been made to the installer except just the version bump which means it still needs administrator privileges like the old one)

@Zathor

x264 cmd encoding Status window displays the current Bitrate (%,Frame,FPS,kbp/s,eta Time)
Megui doesnt show it. Its very important when you ask me .

Please, can you add this Info in the Megui Proccess/Status Window ?

Ok, I ask you: Why is it important to know? :-)
Sorry, but I cannot see an improvement if you know the current bitrate. What benefit do you have if you know it during the encoding process?

Thanks to Kurtnoise I am now able to commit my source code and have access to the official MeGUI update server. I need to change a few things before I am able to commit the source code and update the files on the server.

In the meantime I invite you all to test the current build and give me feedback about problems/bugs. Especially the upgrade path 1051 --> 1058 and 1057 (official) --> 1058 is important. I would like to commit a version which is as bug free as possible.

Hi. Just to say, thank you, Zathor, for fixing and continuing development of my (our) favourite GUI. I didn't test much 1058 but, so far, works good.
And, thanks to Kurtnoise and Sharktooth for previous development.

Perfect idea! I vote for that! If you really want to customize something as a user, just copy the custom files there

I totally agree! current info such as estimated total size, remaining time and fps is enough.

[/CODE]

Ofcourse i can use a Bitrateviewer after encoding

Usefull or not..i think megui could view all x264 Status informations, why not
