AutoMen (Mini Mencoder Gui) 6 beta 06/10/2010)

[Spreeni]

Yes, this seems to be the optimal solution. Everything's working. Thank you!

added you "YouTube Optimized" check, thanks to ricardo.santos

Thanks a million Buzzqw!!!!

Worlds first tool doing that

EDIT: any chance of constraining the bitrate to 345? (Audio+video)

[buzzqw]

yes, it' possible.. but i prefer leaving choice to users

anyway you see the bitrate in status bar

Should be 345 to 349 kbit/s (A+V). For audio and YouTube I would go with LAME MP3 at -v8 or -v9 with 44.1 kHz joint stereo. Lame mp3 is actually superior to many others at 90-110 kbit/s.

This is an example .bat file I use, with mencoder, to create FLV for YouTube:

"c:\base\v\automen\mencoder.exe" "e:\input.avi" -o out.flv -mc 0 -ofps 25
-srate 44100 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=2:q=8:aq=0:mode=1:lowpassfreq=17200
-ovc lavc -of lavf -lavfopts format=flv -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=246:keyint=200:
mbd=2:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3:predia=4:dia=4:preme=2:vpass=1

"c:\base\v\automen\mencoder.exe" "e:\input.avi" -o out.flv -mc 0 -ofps 25
-srate 44100 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=2:q=8:aq=0:mode=1:lowpassfreq=17200
-ovc lavc -of lavf -lavfopts format=flv -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=246:keyint=200:
mbd=2:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3:predia=4:dia=4:preme=2:vpass=2

(all should be just two long lines of course)

My sources are usually raw RGB bitmap avi, or huffYUV lossless YV12 avi, and
already scaled to 448x336 resolution. Audio is also stereo pcm 44.1 kHz/16 bit already.
Here's an example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DYbibozTnWk (349 kbit/s a+v bitrate flashvideo)

The things you need to change per video:

audio demands:

q=8 can also be q=7 (higher bitrate) or q=9 (even lower audio bitrate)
lowpassfreq=17200 can also be raised when using q=7,
and lowered to 15500 for q=9 (for example), still better than FM Stereo!

video demands:

-ofps to your preferred framerate (mind the -mc 0 setting!)
vbitrate and keyint can be adapted to your taste as well.

Hi,
first of all awesome work i love this GUI, i use it for all encoding work now *damn microsoft and their flakey Xbox 360 avi support* anyway....

one issue ive noticed is version 4.4 crashes with the crop detect option all versions have worked corectly up untill this one not sure if anyone else is having the issue, to try and correct i downloaded the 4.3 full release and placed the 4.4 exe in the same dir and same result
Machine specs are:
Vista Ultimate
Pentium D 3.2GHz
2.5GB Ram

a couple of request's i have is add more settings to the ini file... ie threads, video quality, audio quality, and maybe normalize volume, i absolutely hate normalized audio

is it also posible to add a aspect ratio drop down listing all common aspects and maybe auto aspect?

keep up the good work and hope to see some more improvements

[buzzqw]

@dat720

First of All Welcome to the Forum and sorry for the late answer!

in the same dir and same result

.. so it's a problem of mplayer.. not automen.
i can suggest to try some http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/mplayer/ builds.. till you found the correct one (and report IT!)

ie threads, video quality, audio quality, and maybe normalize volume, i absolutely hate normalized audio

theads have a reason only for xvid.. other codecs (mpeg4/x264) are already smp optimized..
about normalization you can deactivate it in advanced settings.. other settings is to set every time

is it also posible to add a aspect ratio drop down listing all common aspects and maybe auto aspect?

by default automen will autoaspect always, BUT since you can specify width/height.. you can resize as you want

now development is stopped, but as always i am open to suggestion

i can glady suggest to try some advanced like AutoFF (look at my sign)

http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/mp...r2008.02.06.7z this build fixed my issue's thanks for the info

to use this build you must put pthreadGC2.dll in the automen directory

why has development stopped? you made too many GUIs and can't keep track/manage them ?

[buzzqw]

the project has reached the final stage.. just it

... maybe tomorrow i will publish the 4.5 with the possibility to select AR for encoding...

BHH

[buzzqw]

update 4.6 http://www.64k.it/andres/data/automen/AutoMen46.exe

added: no odml option
added: possibility to specify aspect ratio

BHH

[dat720]

thanks for that, your a champ
i still dont see extra ini settings but i guess i can live with that
i'll try out a few movies and let you know how it goes i dont spose theres a chance of adding a ipod profile?

automen is too good you should'nt stop dev

what's the chance of getting the source code?
i know nothing about programming but it's never too late to learn, ive become great at modifying *personalising* exsisting code weather its java html or others, but couldnt write somthing like that from scratch

again good work

[dansus]

Hello again, i have a request or two...

No audio option

AC3 audio

and QPel option.

thanks for this app, its great.

[Goldbaas]

with automen, how are you ment to know which audio file to use? is the default one that comes up English or is the PID number for English 128 or 129?

[buzzqw]

sorry for late answer!

what's the chance of getting the source code?

i will upload tomorrow the source code (is in PureBasic http.//www.purebasic.com )

@dansus


maybe no audio.. other options i think is out

@Goldbaas

you must know the pid.. BUT if you use the Preview button you will ear the selected pid!

BHH

[buzzqw]

here is the source code

[zubair4148]

AutoMen Is Great Thanks For It.

[dat720]

anyone had a look at the code?
i was hoping to open the code with purebasic compile it and run for a start.... then go about my way making changes, unfortunetly i have no formal experience in programing and am very lost, i get errors when trying to compile and just cant get anywhere

[buzzqw]

@dat720

i am a newby too at programming, just 2 year of self learning.
Put PureBasic is easy to read and understund, please post (pm) or on purebasic forum your problem.

this is one of them i figured that changing it to a number is ok, but if this is your source why does it give errors
