MeGUI Encoding-Frontend: aktuelle Versionen

0.2.1.7 07/30/2005

Zitat

new: you can re-open the status window if you've accidentally closed it
new: when using zones/credits/intro with xvid, filler zones with weight 1 are automatically inserted in between non adjacent zones, thus ensuring that all parts of the video that do not fall into any zone will be encoded with the proper bitrate
new: lavc #motion predictors flag is available
new: xvid custom quantizer matrices are fully supported (but mencoder will most likely not accept it due to the fact that paths contain a : on Windows)

changed: video is now considered to start at frame 0 (preview, zones creation)
changed: lavc m4v is now longer dependant on VHQ/RDO being active
changed: weighted zones allow a wider range of modifiers (1% - 500% for lavc/snow, 1% to 5000% for x264)
changed: x264-only and snow-only mode are now fully working
changed: x264 jobs are also marked as erroneous if x264.exe exits with an exitcode other than 0

bugfix: proper default values for lavc quantizer blur and quantizer compression
bugfix: x264 first pass is working properly again
bugfix: snow SAD no longer causes an incorrect commandline
bugfix: weight zones are properly written (negative values in lavc/snow, multiplication factor rather than percentage in x264)
bugfix: all Forms that contain different elements depending on which mode the application is compiled can now be properly edited in VS.NET

0.2.1.8a 08/06/2005

changed: updated version number
changed: x264 quantizer delta is now set to 4 by default (it's the x264.exe default, mencoder uses 2 as the default)

bugfix: automated 2/3 pass x264 jobs without using turbo would result in incorrect commandlines for the me method and subpel refinement
bugfix: all GUI classes can be edited in the VS.NET GUI editor again

0.2.1.9 08/13/2005 - "long release"

new: bitrate calculations use 64 bit variables for filesize. This in turn leads to the following bugfix:
bitrate calculations will be accurate even when going above 2.5 CDs, negative and grossly inaccurate bitrates should no longer ocurr. I've tested this up to a target size of 9999MB, which is the maximum size you're allowed to enter, but we should be okay even in the TB area with 64 bits. The audio file size is still a 32 bit integer but that should cover about 2 GB and I think we should be okay with that.

changed: jobs, profiles and the log should be saved even if auto-shutdown is activated
changed: when a job is restarted, its end time and fps will be cleared
changed: when setting a zone, the zone start/end is cleared in the preview
changed: added a "all supported files" filter to the d2v creator
changed: updated the readme file
changed: catching more errors from x264.exe
changed: output filename is no longer filled in if a first pass profile is currently active

bugfix: jobs are no longer automatically removed even if the corresponding setting isn't activated
bugfix: decimal/double options should lead to correct commandlines even on locales that use a comma as decimal separator rather than a dot.
bugfix: sar settings are overwritten with each profile.. if a profile has no sar settings, the sar will be cleared.

0.2.2.0 08/18/2005

Zitat

new: confirmation box when the abort button is pressed

changed: job name and progress is shown in the title during encoding
changed: codec configuration windows are resized in a way that works even with granny fonts

bugfix: audio encoding without volume correction no longer causes an internal crash that prevents encoding until MeGUI is closed
bugfix: commandline generation when a codec configuration window is opened no longer causes crashes under special conditions
bugfix: the calculator works properly in the x264-only version.

Und gleich die nächste Version hinterher:

0.2.2.1 08/20/2005

Zitat

new: the fps shown in the queue is now the average FPS rather than the last reported FPS from the encoder. In addition, the precision of the FPS indicator has been improved.

changed: position of job & percentage complete in the title when encoding
changed: percentage complete is shown with two digits after the comma separator
changed: snow first pass commandline defaults to constant quantizer (q5) with no video output to prevent corrupt output as snow is apparently unable to handle the stats generated by a regular first pass
changed: when suggest resolution is active, changing the DAR triggers the resolution suggestion mechanism

bugfix: encoding now stops at postponed jobs even if the jobs are linked

Und wieder ein paar bugs weniger!

Zitat

0.2.2.2 08/21/2005

changed: the fourCC codes are in proper order for all codecs again
changed: x264 options only available in abr / 2 pass mode are only accessible from the gui in that mode now, and the appropriate commandline switches are ignored accordingly
changed: in the calculator, a length of 0 leads to a bitrate of 0
changed: in the calculator, selecting an audio bitrate that will lead to the audio file being bigger or equal than the video output, a warning is displayed
changed: fps and file size defaults are set in the calculator
changed: filesize selection dropdown is disabled in bitrate based mode in the calculator

bugfix: application would crash in one click mode when mkv output was activated
bugfix: application would crash when x264.exe was selected as encoder, avi was selected as output type and queue was pressed
bugfix: large movie length would lead to improper audio size (and thus finally video bitrates) both in the calculator and audioencode mode.
bugfix: changing the fps in the calculator no longer leads to a different number of frames

Neue Version

Zitat

0.2.2.3 08/28/2005

new: when encoding is paused (or on the way to.. x264.exe takes a while until it really stops and usually encodes between 50 - 100 frames after hitting the pause button), a start icon will appear to signal you're in pause mode. Press it and you'll be back active and the icon is back to pause.
new: the number of cpu cores is automatically detected and the appropriate number of threads is used for lavc and x264.

changed: x264 fourcc defaults to x264
changed: language tags in mp4box commandlines have been changed to accomodate mp4box 0.4.x. As a result, you now must use mp4box 0.4.x when assigning languages to tracks, or muxing will fail.

bugfix: x264 fourcc wasn't saved
bugfix: snow 2/3 pass commandlines include the pass number for the first pass, which is needed to get a stats file

und wieder eine MeGUI Version

0.2.2.3a 08/29/2005

new: compilation script for the .NET SDK commandline compiler. You no longer require Visual Studio.NET to compile the application. However, anything that touches GUI components still needs to be done in Visual Studio - the GUI should always be editable in the VS.NET GUI editor. Compiling via csc seems to lead to smaller executables so this will be the default way binaries are distributed from this point on. If you encounter any problems with the new binaries, let me know.

bugfix: re-imporated various GUI classes from an older release as they could no longer be opened by the VS.NET GUI designer for some wicked reason
bugfix: mp4box muxing commandlines do not contain an immutable framerate when the muxing input is an mp4.

new: intermediate files can be deleted automatically
new: output of aborted jobs can be deleted automatically
new: aac encoding using faac is now possible

changed: stats file are written to the directory of the source and named to correspond to the source they are from
changed: besweet logfiles are written to the destination directory and named to match the output

bugfix: d2v files are no longer kept option

0.2.2.5a 09/21/2005

changed: dgindex demuxing now only demuxes the chosen audio tracks (unless you select demux all) - this may require an update of dgindex so check the requirements above

changed: the way dgindex is being run has been simplified, this could potentially help people who've been having problems with the indexing function (I know of two people to have reported this). If it doesn't work, please download debugview from sysinternals, and run it while running megui and post the logged output here.

0.2.2.6 10/06/2005

new: dgindex processing is now handled as a regular job. This allows queueing of multiple dgindex jobs, and thus the one click mode can process multiple movies after another, including the dgindex phase.

changed: desired size in the autoencode window has been changed to MBs instead of KBs
changed: .sub input has been replaced by .idx input for Subtitle muxing into mkv

bugfix: aborting paused jobs and restarting them no longer causes a crash
bugfix: moving jobs up/down works properly again

0.2.2.7 10/19/2005

new: supports x264 subme level 7 (RDO level 2)

bugfix: x264 p4x4mv requires p8x8mv so I made the two dependant of each other

0.2.2.8a 10/23/2005

new: a series of connected jobs will be skipped if one job terminates with an error, allowing subsequent independent jobs to still be executed
new: support for the x264 constant quality feature

changed: x264 options that have to be disabled in the GUI are preserved (so e.g. you activate 8x8 dct and then go back to main profile, once you go back to high profile it will still be checked)
changed: adapted AQ syntax to correspond to the latest patch

Zitat

0.2.2.9a 11/01/2005

new: default settings for one click mode (thanks berrinam)
new: you can now manually enter a negative audio delay (delay in filenames was always properly recognized

changed: 0 delay is no longer added to the commandline
changed: changed auto-force film to correspond to the latest dgindex file version.

bugfix: fixed a tri-state problem in the x264 configuration (lossless mode)

new: support for x264's trellis

bugfix: video profiles can once again be deleted
bugfix: aborting a job when just one is in the queue no longer leads to a (non fatal) exception

die Entwicklung geht zügig voran

0.2.3.1 11/05/2005
new: support for AVC levels (check this for details)
new: support for B-frame RDO

changed: all video and audio profile dropdowns are now sorted alphabetically

bugfix: selecting 2pass first pass and then high profile, closing and reopening the x264 configuration screen no longer locks the encoding mode field.

Zitat

0.2.3.1 11/06/2005

new: new compiler options to only expose x264 SVN options in the GUI rather than Sharktooth's patches as well. The releases you can download here will always support Sharktooth's patches but if you're using a vanilla SVN build of x264.exe (from http://x264.nl for instance), make sure you're using the SVN build and don't use any of Sharktooth's profiles that use non SVN options.

bugfix: GUI resizes again in x264-only mode
bugfix: besweet logfile paths include parantheses to allow filenames containing spaces
bugfix: the nero aac commandline has a missing trailing bracket for the bsn options
bugfix: certain of the nero aac gui options didn't have an effect on the commandline preview (keep in mind though that even now, the full commandline preview is only active if you've configured the input for audio encoding, because the input type decides whether you need the azid options in the commandline or not).
