Well its a great day for frag movie making! Just to inform the many people who don't know, for getting premium quality frag movies, rendering out of Sony Vegas as a Huffyuv uncompressed .avi file then encoding with makemp4.bat or MeGUI to get a .mp4 is the way to go, but those 2 methods are hard for many people to understand and execute, especially for beginners. Most Australian non-CS:S fragmovie makers just take the easy road and render as a .wmv or some random .avi codec which is a big no-no from the perspective of the more experienced editors. (Quality is very important for the people who spend bandwidth downloading fragmovies, they deserve the full experience!)

Today, we are saved by a man called ajaX, full story:

Quote from ajaX on www.infprod.com:

Hey Everyone!

Recently, being the arse that I am, it has been bugging me seeing downloads for clips that are only 40 seconds long... but 60mb+. After viewing a few "x264" encoding tutorials, it appeared to me that there wasn't a singular solution that was "click easy".

So, being the noob C# coder I am I came up with this small application to help encode your video to x264 in a variety of qualities. It also includes a few presets for creating "stream ready" mp4's - it moves the moov atom to the beginning using mp4box.

It's important to note that app just works as a frontend to a custom built FFMPEG (which includes libfaac and libx264 for encoding h.264 video). But if it makes just one persons life a little easier, then I'm happy lächeln

Screenshots:

Download Here: h264.tweevo.com (choose the newest, currently 0.6r)

Requirements: Works on Windows 7, Vista, XP both 32 and 64bit. You just need .net framework 3.5 which you can get on the Microsoft Website.

To Use: Just render out of vegas as an uncompressed AVI with everything on default (rendering quality on high if you want) and include audio, then use that file within Easy h.264.

Feedback appreciated!

Matt (ajaX)

P.S I've only just made this. There are bound to be some errors here and there!

So far the feedback is all positive, basically its described as faster, easier, better quality and a smaller .mp4 filesize in the end as well... its amazing! I hope this helps a lot of people on here wondering on how to get the quality that you see in all your favourite fragmovies.

nice, about time someone made a 1-click noob friendly way to convert to h264.

Hopefully everyone making clips will give this a try.

Not sure if I'm doing things correct but I recorded a short clip and put it into Vegas. I then rendered with the Quick Time 7 (*.mov) on a Default Template (uncompressed) and this took some time. Then I opened up the Easy H.264 and selected the Youtube Ready Stream and rendered. It then came out with the video but it was all red. I've tried the other Easy H.264 temps and they all have the same result.

tldr, render with vegas then h264 and it gives a red overlay on the video, what do?
