How do I operate this piece of machinary?

lol, it does have a slight learning curve :p

Firstly, make sure you have "FFDShow Tryouts" installed (can be found on sourceforge)

Fire up MeGUI,
Tools -> AVISynth Script Creator
Video input = your AVI file
Apply any scaling/cropping/de-interlacing required
Save script
Go to the input tab of MeGUI and the avisynth should appear there
Go to 'Config' next to the Video Profile setting if you want to change from 1 pass -> 2 pass encoding
Tools -> BitRate calculator (bitrate will depend on video source, DVD quality is ~1900-2000Kbps in my experience)

Enqueue

Switch to Queue tab, Start

When finished:

Tools -> Muxer -> MP4 muxer
Video input = your newly encoded MP4
Audio input = your old AVI file (it should demux and extract the audio from this)
Muxed output = location of output file

Queue, Start Queue

Done :D:D


Ok, it may sound a bit long winded, but you can encode pretty much anything with this method and the quality is very good. It's also completely free and not littered with adverts like a lot of other encoders :)
 
Thanks Phil.

I shall give it a go. :)
