What's MeGUI? I am 99% sure the bat is correct...

EDIT: I'll play with it...argh.

It's a graphical user interface for .mp4 and .mkv, it's used to encode a lot of HD stuff.

If your movie is in 1280x720, leave the next option alone.
Now go down to the "echo Crop(0,0,-0,-0) >> "%mypath%\%mymovie%.avs" line and change it to "echo Crop(0,4,-0,-4) >> "%mypath%\%mymovie%.avs"
I always leave that part to (0,0-0,-0) and I have never got any problems. Why should I change it to (0,4,-0,-4)?

In order for you to make an mp4 your res height and width have to be both divisible by 16, 1280x720 is an example. (0,4,-0,-4) is used when one of your numbers is not divisible by 16 for example the res 800x600. 800 is divisible by 16 but 600 is not, so you use (0,4,-0,-4) to crop your width into a number that is divisible by 16. In this case 8 is subtracted from 600 leaving you with 592 which is divisible by 16. So in the end you get a video thats 800x592. That is why it's recommended that you record at a res with multiples of 16.

WTF, im tryin to render a video, and everything goes great until I realize that I dont have any Avisynth scripts... what to do now`?

It says

avis [error]: unsupported input format <DIB >
X264 [error]: could not open input file 'godfather_love_x264.avs'

Daffy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 25, 2007, 05:54:56 PM »

Do you have AviSynth installed?
You don't need to make a AVS script for this tutorial, that gets done automatically.
Try to put the files as close to the root of the harddrive as possible as the AviSynth scripts and software alike has problems with long addresses.

Wow, I got some epic quality from this. Too bad my comp couldn't play it properly, lags like shit

i used itt

KillaMarci · « **Reply #39 on:** May 26, 2007, 07:57:11 AM »

This look a lot more complicated than the XVid tut , but i'll try it today if i have time

Juan · « **Reply #40 on:** June 07, 2007, 08:12:55 PM »

Daff you should update your tut to use Megui, i recently rendered a movie into two different mp4's. One used this method and the other used megui. This method uses a triple pass while in megui i used a double pass, and as you know the triple pass takes much longer to render. Well the funny thing is that megui gave me better quality for the same file size even though it was a double pass as apposed to a triple pass. You should really look into it.

Daffy · « **Reply #41 on:** June 07, 2007, 11:48:57 PM »

I've been using MeGUI for quite a while now, it's a trully a brilliant tool.

brandon6199 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 07, 2007, 11:54:00 PM »

Wait... im about to render a test .mp4. Should I do it daffys way without megui, or should i use megui? Im almost done rendering the .avi part. Which one has better quality?

edit: btw daffy can u get on msn?

Daffy · « **Reply #43 on:** June 07, 2007, 11:59:34 PM »

Unless you how to configure the settings in MeGUI properly, i'd suggest the good'ol tutorial.
And no i can't, gotta go to school now.
