H.264 AutoEncoder
now with a GUI by
The CaPoNe
Download Now!
Improvements in this version:- Audio bug hopefully fixed!
- Much, much faster on all modes.
- Improved interface.
- And more...
Version 2.1.1, September 7th, 2007 What it does:Converts your EVE Online video to an MKV file with H.264 High Profile video and AAC audio. Why it does it:With H.264 and AAC, your videos can be vastly smaller while having similar quality. Smaller filesize means less load on EVE-Files and faster downloads. How to use it:1. Install AviSynth. The installer is included.2. Open AutoEncoder.exe.3. Choose a video file, choose an audio source, choose an output filename.4. There are three different encoding modes: High, Medium, and Low Speed. If you need your video done quickly, use High Speed; it'll cost you a bit of quality. If you don't care about time, Low Speed gives 5-10% better results than Medium.5. Once you have chosen your encoding mode, choose a quality level. The slider ranges from Low to Medium to High to Ultra High (nearly visually lossless) to Lossless. Lossless mode usually creates very, very large output files. If you want a quality not available on the slider, just use the Custom bar.6. Choose an audio bitrate. 96kbps is the default; choose lower for a slight decrease in file size, or higher for a slight increase in quality.7. Double click the encoding mode of your choice and off you go! The encoding may take a while depending on the speed of your computer. The encoder is multithreaded and can take advantage of up to 4 cores.8. You're done! If someone needs to know how to play the video, paste the following forum code:You'll need the [ url="http://www.cccp-project.net/" ]CCCP[ /url] (codec pack) or [ url="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" ]VLC[ /url] (standalone player) in order to play the video. Also note you need a pretty fast computer to play it back without stuttering. If your computer is too slow to play the video at full speed, download [ url="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec.htm" ]this codec pack[ /url] and install *only* the included CoreAVC. If you have the CCCP or FFDshow already installed, disable H.264 decoding in its video codec settings to activate CoreAVC. Note that VLC does not support CoreAVC. which yields You'll need the CCCP (codec pack) or VLC (standalone player) in order to play the video. Also note you need a pretty fast computer to play it back without stuttering. If your computer is too slow to play the video at full speed, download this codec pack and install *only* the included CoreAVC.

I'm still not getting audio when there is already audio in the fraps file  That and no matter what destination I put to save the output file, it always ends up in the temp directory labelled "video.mkv" |

Damnit, Capone, you said you fixed this  . I can't test it though, as my computer doesn't have the issue...  (And the other "bug" is completely normal--whats supposed to happen is once it gets the audio, it combines it with the video and saves the output file). |

i know its stupid question and forgive me for this, but u enabled the options that the video source contains audio? and Originally by: Stems
..there is already audio in the fraps file...
i never tested a fraps with audio to be honest. Sry but the startclean up function should delete all previous avs, temp files so im sry that i cant reproduce it. another question do run it from a shared networks drive? and what OS do u use? |

Thnx DS & The capone.
One thing, what's this ''Wait.exe'' in the H264 folder? |

we found out that on really fast systems the pc is to fast for the script. so i coded a tiny tool which only sleep 3 sec. to prevent this error. |

Yeah I made sure to check off the option where the video source contains audio  I'm running this from just a normal local HDD, on Vista Ultimate 64 Bit; on a Q6600 as well. |

I wonder if its Vista 64-bit that's causing the problem? Strange, as far as I know Avisynth works fine with Vista. |

Any chance of a possible ''Size Estimate'' in any of the upcoming versions?
As in, each quality level you select, it roughly estimates what the output filesize will end up being? |

Well that's easy if I implemented a mode where you choose the bitrate, but with Constant Quality mode its impossible to tell. For example, if you have a video with tons of stuttering and low FPS, and perhaps very little motion (fleet battle, say), you might be able to fit 20 minutes in 150 megabytes at a very high resolution. But the same length might be 500MB if it has a lot more action and motion. I personally dislike having the user choose the bitrate; it means you usually overestimate or underestimate. If you want to estimate the output filesize, do a High Speed mode pass and see how that turns out. Subtract a few % to get the size for medium/low speed modes. |

I'm a nublar. I've saved a very high quality video on my HDD of a fight from last night. Its a .wmv.
When I add it into the encoder, it starts, says theres an error opening the file, then thats it, and the DOS window dissapears. (I had to hit print screen to see what it was saying)
Am I being a complete muppet? Anything i've missed after following the directions on this post here?

Try this: 1. Turn on Debug mode. 2. Open the .avs file created by the program in your favorite media player (not VLC). 3. Does it work? If not, reinstall Avisynth. |

As far as I know, Free-Codecs.com isn't a warez site...  The latest version of CoreAVC is definitely not free, but IIRC some older versions used to be. The K-Lite codec pack, which is widely used and linked to (as much as I dislike it) includes the exact same version of CoreAVC. |

The video is encoding fine, but at the very end when it tried to combine with the audio I can see some "error locating..." messages and then it spits out the file minus the audio and in the temp directory
i also get this problem, encode for a few hours, gets to the end, bunch of errors fill the cmd, cmd closes, output file not created  running xp and on a local hd |

I'm getting a problem after I render, not a big deal but it's weird, after I render the file it doesn't do the output directory, it just stays in temp folder and doesn't even get renamed. |

That means the muxing, where the program combines the audio and the video, is failing for some reason. For example, if the reading of the audio fails, the muxing will fail, and so the final output will fail also. |

But I'm not including audio in the file it's pure video, and there's no sound in the input file and I didn't select to include video in the output. |

That's really quite strange... ugh, I guess this is what I get for having TheCapone program this thing in Delphi  |

Getting the same problem; encoded file does not show up where specified half the time... i didnt check the temp folder, but this basically makes the version useless... could you try to get a fixed version out? |
