Software to capture using x264vfw into mp4/mkv

[Wam7]

I have an Avermedia Live Gamer HD card in my PC. I want to capture at better quality than the card software which does do h264 to .mp4.
I tried VirtualDub with x264vfw and while the quality is just what I want I have two issues, one with the audio being out of sync and also it only capturing to .avi when I would prefer .mp4 or .mkv.

Is there any other front end software I could use with x264vfw that will be better than VirtualDub.

Thanks.

You need to use custom commandline script to save as mp4. Here is what I use for CamStudio / x264_vfw settings.

*Note I'm capturing @ 10 fps, You'll need to change the command to your framerate...

Thanks for that racer-x. I presume I can leave out the bframes and keyint options?

Yes, the main thing you need to enter is the path to the output mp4.

Example:

-o "C:\cap\out.mp4"

I tried it but while it does work it totally drops the audio so there is no audio in the file. I have set it back to VirtualDub and set the audio to convert to AC-3. I then just pass through encode it to .mkv and it seems to have also cured the audio sync problems at the same time.

CAMstudio doesn't pick up my capture card so will still look for other software.

You can re-wrap it later into MKV or MP4 with mkvtoolnix or yamb / mymp4boxgui

Why don't you use "Output file" option instead? It has a choice of formats to save to, including mp4. I can capture RGB24 & PCM stream from a webcam and it encodes and saves to mp4 with this setting once capture is stopped, but audio from the webcam Mic is still captured into a separate avi file. Audio Capture menu doesn't have similar option to select a file format to capture to. I installed AAC codec and selected MP3 or AAC compression for audio. Do you know, how I can capture video and audio muxed real time into the same mp4? May be some commandline can help?
