Notes

• Multichannel audio encoding sometimes is performed incorrectly.
• Avisynth required only if you want to process scripts.
• For 4:2:0 output subsampling width and height of the input (and output) video must be multiple of 2 pixels.
• For 4:2:2 output subsampling width of the input (and output) video must be multiple of 2 pixels.
• Actually just use standard dimensions.
• Only one application instance allowed to run at the same time.
• In order to load particular presets file drop it onto Baka Encoder.exe.
• Although Baka Encoder is a GUI tool it can also parse some command line arguments
• "Baka Encoder.exe" "path_to_config_file" "path_to_input_file_1" ... "path_to_input_file_n"
• System menu (can be opened by left-clicking on small icon on the top left corner of the application window, or right clicking on window title or taskbar preview) contains additional "Always on top", "Logging", "Donate" and "About" items.
• Temporary files are stored in "TEMP Baka Encoder" folder located in disk root folder, e.g. if you are encoding file
"C:/My Documents/my amv.avi"
temp folder will be
"C:/TEMP Baka Encoder/"
This folder is created in the begging of encoding and is automatically deleted after encoding
