Is there any way to encoding VFR using Megui?

And if yes what the AVS script I should use?

[poisondeathray]

Not directly - because avisynth is CFR only, and megui uses avisynth

So you could use it to encode your CFR video, then mux in timecodes after

x264.exe doesn't need anything anymore. It has everything patched in (some builds even have audio, filtering (like resize & crop) ). You can use it directly to encode VFR

If uses megui to encode CFR and then mux the timecodes, the output will be VFR.mkv, right?

yes, but I don't think you can mux in timecodes with megui, you would need mkvtoolnix separately

[The Scenes]

Yes I will use mkvtoolnix, if I have an episode something.mkv, how to know if it is VFR or not
I try with media info and it does not show the frame rate type

mediainfo might not be correct (it just reads header information)

If the source was VFR , and the final is in sync, then it's VFR for sure

If it's out of sync, it's still CFR and you messed up somewhere

The only way to be sure is to look at the timecodes (for source or export)

Thank you very much, you really help me!

Have a nice day!

Other question!

I want to encode an anime episode with megui, what is best for avs script
ffvideosource, directshowsource or something else and why?

Any suggestion about the avs script how should it be

source is mp4

[poisondeathray]

directshowsource is the last resort ; it is not necessarily frame accurate, and inconsistent (depends on system installed codecs and filters)

ffvideosource("video.mp4")

if you have other filters (maybe clean up video) then add them

[The Scenes]

ok, thank you!

If I want to encode anime episode and the output will be HD, what the size I should use? and how to know the best size?

If I want to encode anime episode and the output will be HD, what the size I should use? and how to know the best size?

What do you mean?

size as in dimensions e.g. 1280x720 ?

or size as in bitrate e.g. 5Mb/s ?

[The Scenes]

I mean the output size

size as in dimensions e.g. 1280x720, =)

size in megabytes, 250 MB, 300 MB or what?

I mean the output size in megabytes

[poisondeathray]

filesize = bitrate x running time

megui has a bitrate calculator in the tools menu

choose whatever you want . Higher bitrate = higher quality, if everything else is constant

If you don't know what to choose, use CRF encoding or "constant quality" encoding. Lower CRF values give higher quality and larger filesize . Most people use around CRF16-22 as a starting point
