3. Enter the desired output resolution (must be mod 16)**mod 16 resolution - Both height and width pixels must be completely divisible be 16.Example - Here 720x352 resolution is used and 720/16 gives remainder as 0 and also 352/16gives rem. 0 so that means it's a mod 16 resolution.4. You can crop screen if u see black borders (in our case we don't need it).5. Click Save and you will be returned back to megui.

10. Click "Auto Encode" and a new window will apppear.11. Select conatiner as "MKV" and enter "average bitrate" as per the desired output file size(Remember 30minutes = 100mb). When done click "Queue".12. Now click "Queue" tab at top of the encoder and click start.

13. Now comes the most difficult part which is to wait :mrgreen: . Encoding process has nowbegun so be patient. Time taken in encoding depends on many factors such as your pc'sconfig., source's resolution, output file's resolution, o/p file size etc. On my pc a normal dvdriptakes an average time of 4-5 hours.

3.) Editing

TO EDIT MKV FILES I USE MKVMERGE.

In this section I will tell you how to:-

(a) Add or remove subtitles.(b) Making samples/splitting a file.(c) Join files.(d) How to sync. anmkv file.

but before that run mkvmerge.

(c) Join files

Now if you want to join two or more splitted files into a single file then add the first part of fileand then click "append" to add 2nd part and so on you can append a no. of files. Selecto/p folder and click "start muxung".

(d) How to sync. anmkv file.

One common problem that arises after encoding a movie is that sometimes we gets file atoutput which is a bit out of sync. So, we can make it in sync using mkvmerge.

Suppose that in our movie the sound is lagging beind video with duration 300ms. Then,

1. Add your file.2. In "track" box click on video file and then "Format specific options". In "Delay (in ms)" enter150.3. Now in "track" box click on audio file and then "Format specific options". In "Delay (in ms)"enter -150.4. Select o/p folder and click"startmuxing"

Similarly, if video is lagging behind audio then in that case we would use -ve value for videofile and +ve value for audio file.

This is how process goes:

ENJOY!
