Megui error
August 4th, 2016
I am trying to convert some videos from avi format to mp4 with x264 encoder. I am using megui. For some of the audio jobs, i get an error. I want to use megui over handbrake as i get better quality. Please help.
Using Nero encoder.

Upgrade your transcoding software from MEGUI as the encoders crap and the GUI is even worse, Sorenson Squeeze 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.

What does the log show? You get an error could mean anything without a bit more information.

Learn to spell rather than you continually spouting the same old views over and over again and we might start taking you more seriously.

Better luck next time , The mainconcept encoder will produce files with better compression (Quality/size ratio) in less time than x264.
And because Sorenson was made by competent people it will actually work solving OP’s problem.
And because Sorenson was made by competent people [...]
and is used by incompetent users. Because you’re always the only one who is flaming people using meGUI and x264 as incompetent.
Well, what I’m trying to say is that you never proved your claims in relation that x264 will put out bad quality. Posting a comparison (btw you probably never have read) won’t prevent people from using an open source encoder.
Yes, you are right – the best h264 encoder is this one by Mainconcept, but the differences between both are pretty small. It’s just like comparing mp3 encoders like LAME vs. Xing.
And may the GUI of meGUI isn’t color loaded as Squeeze but if people like this application, why trying to change their oppinion.
Btw: it’s called results not rusults – probably you’re just copy/paste all your claims.
have a nice day
You really need to stop that , the person asks for something else and you tell something else.

Go to “C:\Program Files\megui\logs” and post up the latest log in which you encountered the error. Then we’ll see what the problem is.
Just a note, if meGUI sucks so badly then why does the scene use it exclusively? not to mention all the high-end encoders do as well? reason? its the best utility to use when you “know what your doing”
and the OP’s error is most likely due to missing the NeroAAC executable from his/her directory of megui
again, a log helps us help you
Here is the log

Does sorenson squeeze support encoding of mkv files? I heard it doesn’t.
Ignoring the buthurt fan-boys above, MKV is just a rubbish unsupported container im assuming that you want to create these files because you think that they offer better compression (which is not true).
If thats the case then there is no problem because Sorenson outputs ISO standard MP4 , If you actually want your streams in a non standard container then you can simply mux the streams into mkv with mkvmerge or mkvtoolnix .
The whole process above would still be faster than encoding using x264 with NonGUI.

While viewing the log file, I’m assuming that you haven’t demuxed the audio stream right? Then AviSynth uses internal splitters committing the audio stream to the audio encoder. The GetChannels() function shows me you’re probably converting an .ac3 audio stream.
Have you already tried to demux the audio off the video first? Can be done e.g. with Avidemux.
And put the seperated audio file in meGUI’s audio encoder (lower part of the main window).
Btw an info log of the .avi files done with mediainfo would be great (for detailed informations).
