MeGUI

What works

Installation

use winetricks to install dotnet11, dotnet20, gdiplus

download & install VirtualDub 1.9.8 (optional), Avisynth 2.5.8

install MeGui, use the auto-update (slow), choose to import & overwrite presets, restart MeGui when prompted.

What works - AVS Script Creator
although the video preview windows sometimes crap out, all other functions work.

Workaround
- Recommended to use winecfg and set virtual desktop for use.
- Recommended to run MeGui from terminal, so you can terminate when it hangs occasionally.

What does not

from menu Options => Settings, must repeatedly input settings for each use, it will not be loaded the next time MeGui is started

Workarounds

What was not tested

everything else

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

Some error messages here and there, but overall still works.

--------------to encode from directshowsource with out it------------------------

just make a new doc, save it as

if your file is mp4 mkv with h264 use the dll file as a plugin

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037

example

loadplugin ("/ffms2.dll")

FFVideoSource ("/video.mkv or mp4")

---------------------audio----------------------------------

if the audio gives you an error wile encodeing use the ffms2.dll

make a script

inscript

loadplugin ("/ffms2.dll")

FFAudioSource ("/audo.<extenction name")

then save it

now place the script in the audio section and encode
