MeGUI

Megui

Those who use VirtualDub will have to get used to the fact that Megui does not accept simple avi input. Avisynth scripting is required before continuing with this guide.

We will be using the H.264 video codec along with the AAC audio codec muxed inside an mp4 container. The video files must be Quicktime 7 compatible; please double-check your work before submitting to save yourself and SDA time and bandwidth.

Software and Installation

You may need to install the latest .NET Framework before installing Megui.

Head over to x264.nl and download Megui. Install the program and run it. You should get a message saying there are updates available. Click ok and let the program download everything it needs. To access the autoupdate feature, you can also go to tools -> update.

You will probably get an error saying that Nero Digital Audio isn't available, so you'll have to download it separately. Download the zip file and extract the contents to C:\Program Files\megui\tools\neroaacenc\

Importing the avisynth script

In the input tab, open the avisynth script in both video and audio boxes. You will notice that the output files have the same name...

MAKE SURE THEY ARE DIFFERENT

...or you will probably end up losing your whole encode, and a whole lot of time.

Your input screen should look something like this:
