Need Nero AAC Encoder? Get it at www.nerodigital.com
Remember://Avisynth, XviD and FFDShow-tryout//need to be installed.
If you are working with TS (mpeg2) files, check "Use ProjectX". 
Unsure if your source is interlaced? Let AutoMKV do its AUTODETECTION of interlace//It's fast and secure.
In case of difficulty handling source/rip, hand make the d2v (and audio) with DgIndex, then feed AutoMKV with the d2v.
FILM and DECIMATING use the same approach TFM(d2v="XXX.d2v").Tdecimate()
X264 CRF Value for Quality Encoding = 40-(%quality_percent%/4)
Force Mux W*H: This option is only avaiable if you select MKV as container.//Using this option you set the display width and height that container pass to player.//These values aren't correlated to original width and height.
Manual crop & resize: If you use manual crop and resize you must enter values for crop and width/height.//On Main panel you can only select the resizer to use.
FFmpegSource is a great plugin based on FFmpeg.//When DirectShowSource fails, check "Use FFmpegSource", maybe you will get better results
In Disk Settings you can write your desidered final size.//The value you enter is in MB. If you want more then 1 output file (let's say 2 files of 350 MB) just enter 350 and in the Movie Name box enter 2.
AutoMVK doesn't support special characters like kangi or cyrillic.//This isn't a limitation of AutoMKV but of several dos programs AutoMKV uses
If you have a "near impossible to process" source, when DirectShowSource and FFmpegSource fails, check "PreProcess to Lossless", you will get a very large file but it will be processable.
FFmpeg Encoding is a way to force AutoMKV to use FFmpeg for all encoding processes. //You must select a profile of ffmpeg (xvid, H264 fast,mpeg4, flv...), and specify a manual resize, crop and bitrate. AutoMKV will instruct ffmpeg.exe to encode the input file with these settings.
In FFmpeg Encoding there are several "Audio xxx". These profiles will encode ONLY audio of input file , and will convert to profile selected
"Manual Crop" is only to be used when you want specify the crop values but want to let AutoMKV to do the correct resize.
The Deinterlacer list is used when you already know the type of interlace present in your input file.//When selecting Interlaced choose a Field Order (check the value in DGIndex panel information) or a hybrid order will be used, and will slow down the encoding.
"Process this IFO" is used before selecting the ifo.//When this option is checked the ifo you select will be the only ifo AutoMKV works with.
Quick help pop-ups aren't permament and will not reappear after fading away. Read quickly!
When your source is MKV or AVI be sure you have installed a recent FFdshow build and a decent splitter (like Haali Media Splitter). If encoding fails try checking "Use FFmpegSource".
I don't know the best settings for your movie.//I suggest you do some testing and read the documentation of filters.
When requesting help due to an error, REMEMBER TO POST THE LOG!
Don't want the TIPS? Just delete the tips.txt file.
The Advanced Audio Options will reset every time you open that window.//AutoMKV will remember your last settings, but reopening the window will reset the last changes you made!
Feel free to post new tips on the forums!
AutoMKV don't like many dots in file name (like this.is.my.ultra.avi.in.hd.mkv) and will change to dots to underscore
MP4Box.exe don't like dots in folders name
UncompAVIToWMV.exe don't support Peak Bitrate on WMV7/8/9 codec only for VC-1. So don't ask me about. 
Safe deinterlace will run the autodeinterlacer routines with a very low threashold for determining frames type (usefull for determine hybrid type)
When doing Manual Cropping (or Manual Crop/Resize) remember to validate all crop values.//Set to 0 (zero) for non crop value
7.1 audio tracks will be downmixed to 5.1 since no encoder offer support for 7.1 audio
Dont' want Nero ? Create a file "noneroAacEnc.here" in \exe\besweet folder , AutoMKV will not ask to download Nero anymore
Using "Unlimited File Size" or "Constant Quality Profile" with "Automatic" resize is a NON-SENSE.//You are wasting time since automatic resize routines is aimed to compute a good width/size ratio.//Asking AutoMKV to do a resize routine when aiming a 100GB file (.. or much more since is UNLIMITED) is pointless.
QmTrim and HGAVS don't work (even more.. can crash!) on very short movie, lenght less then 2 minutes
