About This File
This is used to apply Replay Gain to various video files (AVI, FLV, F4V, MP4, M4V, MKV) for the following audio streams MP3 & AAC. Other audio streams can be converted to the default AAC audio stream with Replay Gain applied.
This supports multiple Audio, Video & Subtitle streams, however preservation of Meta Data isn't currently supported.

- v1.31
- ==================================
- Updated:
- - FFMpeg
- - x264
- - MKVToolsNix
- I have decided to revert to using x264 while the file size and encode time differ little from FFMpeg there is still
- a difference...so I'm opting for faster and smaller...since we can be talking hundreds or thousands of files here.
- There have been some changes to work better with the newer build of MKVToolNix.
- Fixes to Meta data that could cause MP4Box or MKVMerge to fail in building the final file.
- Fixes to AACGain that should fix times when AACGain fails to apply Replay Gain to both MP3 & AAC audio streams.
- v1.30
- ==================================
- Reverted change to ReplayGain protection...it's enabled again...I got bit way to much by clipping.
- Progress TrayTip enhanced to give more feedback.
- Tweaked Folder Browse button to behave more like whats expected.
- v1.29
- ==================================
- Okay the constant MKV container problem "should" be resolved.
- Keep in mind a MKV file will still be created for other containers with the exception of MP4 in the cases where a
- Subtitle is merged into the video container and/or the audio is converted to AAC.
- v1.28
- ==================================
- Removed Clipping protection when applying Replay Gain to MP3 & AAC audio streams.
- As a result you "may" experience clipping depending on your audio hardware...but db from one video to the next should
- be much closer now.
- Should you run into clipping and not caring for it...this is completely reversible, as Replay Gain is only applied to
- the header of the MP3 & AAC streams.
- v1.27
- ==================================
- Fixed error with FFMpeg's markup which sometimes resulted in missing streams.
- Added support for M4V, M4A, MP3, MPG containers
- Please note this app will not re-encode H264 video streams it will simply stream copy. If this feature is desired it
- can be added.
- v1.26
- ==================================
- Removed x264 & just use FFMPeg for H264 encodes (results from FFMPeg are nearly the same as x264)
- Removed bad automatic container conversion
- Added Error Log creation to Hotkey Exit code
- v1.25
- ==================================
- Now saves settings to INI
- Now no longer Quits after Batch Operation
- Misc tweaks
- v1.24
- ==================================
- AVS file extension now supported and defaults to final MKV container
- New build of FFMpeg
- New build of x264
- Added forcing MP4 or MKV file container
- Added direct source file replacement option
- Added x264 video re-encoding options for non H264 video streams
- Added System Shut Down after Batch Operation Complete
- Added Stats to Finish Dialog for total execution time of Batch Operation
- Updated FFMpeg syntax
- Fixed syntax for x264 encodes
- Fixed several Sub-title issues
- Reduced Hard Drive Abuse
- Misc fixes and enhancements
- H264
- - Preset - Slower means smaller file sizes, but takes longer to run
- - Quality - Smaller numbers mean better quality but increased file sizes
- - Tuning - Type of video content, helps get better results from re-encoding
- AAC
- - Audio Quality - Higher numbers means better quality but increased file sizes
- *Update 6*
- ==================================
- Hooked up Preserve AC3 & DTS controls, hooked up AAC Quality control...actually convert non AAC & MP3 files to
- AAC...error on my part. Note I seem to be having some issues with internal Subtitles, and some video streams in
- MKV; I hope to have this sorted out in short order.
- *Update 5*
- ==================================
- Added a GUI, the preserve AC3 & DTS audio channels don't work as of yet...will be in the next release along with
- improvements to usability. That said you can set the audio quality for any audio streams converted over to AAC
- and enable folder recursion. Please note that MP3 audio will not be encoded to AAC as Replay Gain can be applied
- to that stream type. If there are any other audio stream types that should be preserved beyond AC3 & DTS please
- let me know.
- *Update 4*
- ==================================
- Added CTRL+ALT+ESC to exit the script
- *Update 3*
- ==================================
- Should the script hang or appear to hang one can now press CTRL+ALT+F6 which will end all sub processes, then
- open CMD Consoles in the proper folders, then display a text file containing what executable was last active,
- what file was being processed, and what command lines were used.
- With any luck this will help sort out all the issues that might be ran into.
- *Update 2*
- ==================================
- Added support for external Subtitles
- Can pull meta data from file name if in the following format:
