This is my guide for Encoding small size x264 mkv movies. Everyday I get alot of pm's about how do i encode small 300mb movies, so I decided to make a guide about it and have tried to keep it as simple as I could. You can circulate this guide but if you do then please give some credit to me!


First of all you need MeGUI, Avisynth, Profiles, Nero AAC Codec, Mkvtoolnix.
Download MeGUI here: Click to Download
Download Avisynth here: Click to Download
Download Profiles here: Click to Download
Download Nero AAC Codec here: Click to Download
Download Mkvtoolnix here: Click to Download

After downloading the above files follow these steps:
1. Install Megui, Avisynth and Mkvtoolnix.
2. Copy all 3 Nero AAC files to the Megui directory
By Default - "C:\Program Files\megui"
3. Run Megui
4. Now, Update it!
Check all files and click on UPDATE.
Wait until it gets updated!
After you reach updating this file "Updating Tx264. File 37/40." you'll get a pop-up of "Preset Importer" just select them all and click "Import" thats it!
After you click "Import" you will get this "Duplicate Profile" notice just click "Overwrite Profile".
After you reach "Updating STAudio. File 38/40." you'll get another pop-up of "Preset Importer" just do as i said above "Check all" and import.
Then, Click "Import" you'll get another same box of "Duplicate Profile" just tick the box of "Don't Ask Me this Again" and click "Overwrite Profile".
Check all & Import!
After the update is done you'll get the box of "Restart" just click the "Yes" button and wait till the MeGUI restarts!
This time you will get a message but don't worry, Everything is okay! Just click YES!! :)
Make sure all of them "Selected" if yes then click the "Update" button.
If you got this error then click yes and download the "NeroAACenc.exe" file

One by One, Select all and Import!
After update finishes restart again by clicking "Yes"
Now, we have to Bypass this Error. To do this, Download Nero AAC
Extract files and you will see some folders as shown below!
If you're with Linux then go to linux and copy the files
Pase it in C:\Program Files\Megui

OR

If you're Windows user then goto "Win32" folder
You will see three files, Copy 3 of them!
C:\Program Files\Megui Paste it if you got (merge the files) just say yes merge it! thats it now open MeGUI its working no need to update or anything!

Now Close MeGUI!
Go to your folder where you Downloaded the File "Profiles From above"
Extract files!!
You'll get a folder called "allprofiles" just copy the folder and paste it in "C:\Program Files\megui
Replace the "allprofiles" folder with new one.
And Voila!! We're Done!!!

Now Run MeGUI we will Encode our first Movie/Video! :D
Run MeGUI,
Goto: Tools > AVS Script Creator [CTRL + R].
Select video file in Video Input.
Select One Click Encoder!
Click on Config in Target option after *scratchpad*
Now, Select your the Filesize for your Movie/Video
I used 300MB size [2.5GB original size]
Then, Select Output Resolution to 720 and Check AutoCrop
After That, move to next tab!
Next Tab again!
Check MKV!
Now click on UPDATE to Update your profile!
Click OK and Select GO!!
Now, It will open MeGUI main screen.
Switch to Queue tab!
Here you will find that your movie in in queue and ready to get encoded!
Just click on START!!
It will take 15-30minutes for encoding process to complete!
BINGO!! You just learned Encoding movies so fast and easy!? :D
Now you just imagine how much space I've saved by encoding 2.5GB movie to just 300MB without any loss in Quality! (;

Remember if you're encoding a movie and the movie bitrate is "700" you can change it to atleast "450" if you tried to change it more like "700 BitRate" to "240 Bitrate" the video will  totally fu*ked up! 

Aaah!! Finally I'm done with this tutorial, took about 2hours to write this article! If you're reading this, please don't forget to leave your comments below!

Thank you!

  1. Thank you so much!
    But I have encountered one little problem. For some reason there is only one option in the place for 'Video presets' and that is 'x264: *scratchpad*. The rest of the options for x264 are missing. Also, I did not encounter the step where the presets were to be imported during the first run of MeGUI.
    It would be really awesome if you could help me with these issues.

  2. @Sujay, You have done something wrong while copying the profiles folder! Try each step again!!

  3. Solved it all, working like a wonder!
    But I have one more problem, sometimes, as soon as the one click encoder starts encoding a video, during the idx phase, it gives an error and stops encoding. Couldn't find a solution to that, any help would be really appreciated! I could also post the log file if you want.

    1. there is nothing wrongs with megui. simply try encoding other videos it will work.
      This is solution for the problem: if your encoding stops just after you started encoding and in que window it shows error.

  5. "Now you just imagine how much space I've saved by encoding 2.5GB movie to just 300MB without any loss in Quality! "
    How did you do that man?? I mean how could you keep the same quality if you encode it in a tiny size!! If the bitrate is down, the quality will be down too unless you use an external filter to enhance the video quality.
    You could say "fantastic quality in small size" not the same awesome quality!!
    We know it doesn't differ much in a small screen but in a big screen the quality might be noticeable.
    Thanks though for your time & effort to make such a nice article! I hope it's helping a lots of people. Keep going...

    1. Brother, This is called Encoding videos. Its not like mobile video 3GP/MP4 converters. And I know the quality differs. Why it won't!? Look at the size man, 2.5GB to 300MB? The quality loss will be very little when compared with the original one. You should give it a try and see the result by your own! GOODLUCK!! :)
