[SOLVED]Question about encoding -> Used Megui after all

August 5th, 2016

Hey everyone,
So I’ve asked an encoder b4 but he couldn’t answer so I’ll ask in general. Say I have 700+ video files & I wanted to encode them into mkv video files, is it possible to make the first script run on all of them? to automate the process..cos doing 700+ video files one by one isn’t gonna be somethin easy to do. So anyone knows how?
Oh & It’s with Megui.
& Thanks in advance. :mrredhat:

It’s kind of the same thing, I’d have to come & go & come & for each one of them vids.
With batch files you'll have to stop the whole process cold, edit encode.bat and then run it again.
any other ideas?
Answer #3
Do you HAVE to use MeGui?
A straight mencoder or ffmpeg bat file will do as many as you want.
Mencoder -noskip -sws 9 -vf scale=720:576,hqdn3d=6:5:8,unsharp=17×5:1,pp=ha:128:7/va/dr/al -ovc x264 -x264encopts subq=9:b_pyramid:weight_b:8x8dct:me=umh:cabac:partitions=all:trellis=2:mixed_refs:direct_pred=auto:psy-rd=1.0,0.2:qp=16:threads=4:nodct_decimate:nofast_pskip:bframes=6:frameref=6 -oac copy -o OUTPUT.avi “Input.vid”
This will convert input to output with output being 720p, x264 encoded.
Answer #4
Dont use MKV/X264 or MEGUI, Sorenson gives better rusults because it uses propritry encoders which give better quality/size ratios than freeware equilivents like x264. It has a great GUI and supports batch transcodeing and outputs ISO standard MP4 files which have exellent Hardware/Software support.
