After install, it will probably ask you to update it, run updates (it will also download all tools it needs).
Now, after you record a video with Fraps, go into the movies folder and do the following.
1. Right click on empty space -> New -> AviSynth script. You'll have this:
2. Open it (by default, it opens with notepad) and paste inside this:
Code:
DirectShowSource("name of the video file")
ConvertToYV12()
3. Open MeGUI and drag and drop the AVS file in two places (red arrows):
Close any pop up windows that might show up (like preview window).
4. In this window, only change the encoder settings - select the profile I have selected (blue arrow).
5. Click the "Auto Encode" button. Here you can select the container you want and the file size you want. Experiment to see what gives you best results (also consider your upload rate) and you will get the feel for it. To finish, click "Queue".
6. Go to the "Queue" tab in MeGUI and click "Start".
That's it. Real simple, and quality is great above these dumb one-click tools.
If you are interesting in learning some nice tricks with AviSynth, like resizing, sharpening, adding a logo, picture in picture, cropping, trimming, etc., don't be afraid to ask.
AFAIK youtube reencodes everything you upload. A while ago you could really upload you own encode but this has been removed.
The best thing you can do is upload your capture without encoding it. If youtube doesn't support your capture, you should encode your video with the highest possible quality before feeding it to youtube.
What I would do: go to www.x264.nl, download x264.exe, run the following command line: x264.exe --crf 16 --output "yourOutputFileName.mp4" " yourInputFile"
The encoded file will be unnecessary large, but since its only a temp file that shouldn't matter. Quality should be great.
EDIT: you are using a very outdated version. Go to Settings/Extra config./Configure servers and change the drop down list to "Development". Then update again.
I onced used ripbot2k or something similar named. It was ok. Then I used Tmpgenc it was good too. Then I used Cyberlink's ati stream enabled encoder and whilst it was fast, the video quality suffered.
Well, you never said that your capture includes sound.
In theory, it should work as following:
Use the following script and open it as "Audio Input" in MeGUI, slecet NeroAAC as encoder and start the encode:
AlignedSplice(DirectShowSource("video1", video = false).EnsureVBRMP3Sync(), DirectShowSource("video2", video = false).EnsureVBRMP3Sync(), DirectShowSource("video3", video = false).EnsureVBRMP3Sync(),...)
After it finished use the mp4 muxer to put the video and audio stream into a single mp4 file.
I did a test with a mp4 file (since i don't have any avi files) and the resulting audio was too fast, but it could be just an issue with my DirectShow configuration.
Don't know why it didn't download all of them from the update. Did you import all the profiles when it asked you? At any rate, my profiles are the most updated ones, so no worries.
Let's try this instead, we'll update the presets from the server:
Options -> Update. On the left go to "Preset collections" and right click on each one there (there should be 4 of them) and select "Force reinstall".
Click "Update". No for each collection, a dialog will pop up, asking you which preset you want to import. Right click somewhere in the dialog, and select "Select All" and finally click "Import". This will import all the profiles in the collection.
You get this error because it is trying to write yo a system folder and you don't have access to. You probably have UAC installed. So you can either run MeGUI as admin for the update, or install it to somewhere where no admin rights are needed to write.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
