MeGUI and OneClick - Folder selection for processing multiple source files?

[Garo7]

I am really hoping someone can help me.

I have some problem being stupid I guess. I cannot figure out why the OneClick function will not add a video source file-load/index command to the avs script when I select a folder to process? So, even if I paste my script in there, it runs, but it of course gets an error during the script due to no video file loaded. Errors out on the Spline36Resize command.

If I manually enter the load command, to load and index the video file, it works, but how do I do this for multiple files? Meaning selecting an entire folder of source files for processing?

What am I missing here? MeGUI v2700

Thanks.

The OneClick encoder will definitely use Avisynth scripts as source files. You should be able to open a folder full of them. If you're using a custom Avisynth script in your OneClick configuration, maybe you've done something wrong there.

I'm not sure what's going happening, but the log file is pretty informative. You can save it and attach a copy to your post.

I add the script to the one in the config, removing the <auto> lines since I am using my own. I remove the manual source load line of course since this is for one file. Then when everything is set in all options panels for encoding, I go to open the course files. I point to the folder, it acts like it is opening the folder full of files but there is no file load commands added to the script. I will check some more.

Is there some trick to adding your own avisynth commands to the script in the one click configuration? I have used MeGUI a lot, I just do not understand this particular function.

Oh... ok - I think I figured out where I was being an idiot. As a batchfile programmer and IT guy with over 30 years of experience I have to call it that... idiot. LOL

The stupid human adding his encoding command lines to the script in the tool has to leave the <input> variable as the the first line of his custom script in the nice little script window, so that the One Click configurator can add the lines and open the files.

I think it is working now. lol

Thanks for replying!

It works so far, but errors out on the muxing. But I do not mux the audio in MeGUI. I do it directly using the native untouched tracks later in MXToolNix.

How do I disable the Audio portion of the encoding and muxing completely in OneClick? I ask here in case I once again miss the obvious, before I look again, in hopes that the answer to how I am being stupid will magically appear once again.

You have to select Show Advanced Settings at the bottom of the OneClick window, then an option "Encode" should appear in the audio section. One of the choices is "never" but that should mux the original audio. Alternatively if you right click on the audio tab there should be an option to remove the audio track.

For batch encoding I think you need to set the option to "never" in the OneClick profile configuration, as that's what's used for batch encoding.... as far as I know. I rarely use the OneClick encoder myself. You mightn't be able to remove the audio stream completely when batch encoding. I'm not sure.

Well, normally I do not use 'OneClick' either. But since I increased the performance of my PC I notice that often now encoding some things takes much less time. I already had figured out what you said in the "Oneclick", and with this setting it seemed to work well encoding the 2 audio tracks and also the subtitle tracks.

I was having a placebo moment afterwards though as I felt like the quality of the encoded image was different and not quite as good as with the manual auto-encode. I didn't find anything different in the setting but for now I have gone back to manual auto-encode. Also the duration was long on the process and i did noticed the log indicated that it used 32-bit instead of 64-bit version of x264.

So far I haven't work on it since, but I will probably look into manually configuring batching.

Thanks for the response!
