Zarx264gui is a simple program that I have put together for animemusicvideos.org so people can compress their AMVs to h264 in the easiest way possible. This page will always point to the most up to date version.

Zarx264gui_1.3.zip - December 13, 2009

Zarx264gui_1.22.zip - September 13, 2009

1.3 changelog:
- Using x264 r1373
- Pipes input through avs2avi rather than loading avs scripts directly. x264 and avisynth no longer share the same pool of memory.
- If a 64bit operating system is detected, the 64-bit version of x264 will be used.
- fixed an issue where it would calculate bitrate for audio, even if you weren't encoding audio.
- removed the interlaced checkbox. This option was pretty useless.
- reverted to old color scheme.
- specify a temp folder for mp4box. Should prevent errors where an output file was not created.
- fixed a bug where psy-rdo settings were disabled when using the "slow" preset.
- added support for loading image sequences. (broken, will be removed in next version)
- "keep intermediate files" option should work now
- new icon
- taskbar will light up when encoding is complete

1.22 Changelog:
- Using x264 r1251
- Medium & Slow profiles were mixed up
- Fixed an issue where audio wouldn't be recognized when your audio source was dragged onto the form.
- When generating avs scripts, it will now always use DirectShowSource. This should fix problems for people using windows movie maker.
- Modified the colors of the gui a bit so it should look better on Vista and Windows 7.
- Auto VAQ is no longer enabled by default, as there is some debate as to whether it is better.
- Fixed an issue where it would complain about the colorspace, when using FFVideoSource.
