MeGUI Bug-Report Thread

[sjchmura]

Sharktooth,

Did you see my post above about the error generated when trying to mux ac3 only with autoencode since updating MEGUI?

http://forum.doom9.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=6336&d=1162135662

Same error people were getting back in January but it just seemed to "go away"...

[carlo_0000]

Probably a problem with your installed decoders.
Check if the AVS file plays correctly in MPC...


tnx...

no don't think it s a decoder problem

i'll tryed coreavc , ffdshow , cyberlink

do you try to convert the .raw to mp4 with megui ? what i posted :
http://perso.latribu.com/tribu/Cascada.rar

[Selmer79]

Try encoding the audio separately with the same encoder but with a different tool (SNG or behappy).
Ensure you have the latest encoder version (neroaac 1.0.0.2) and check if the problem persists. If it does, then it's a nero encoder problem and you should inform nero about that.
Well, it boiled down to QuickTime sucking monkey-balls as a media-player.. The audio-files play just fine in foobar2000, and even though I can't get sound on Ronin (the movie) in QT, I get it when I put the mux'ed movie into foobar2000 too.. Ronin (the movie) is "bugged" in iTunes, but plays fine on my iPod.. Go figure.. So I retracted the report...

[check]

possibly the audio is HE-AAC? QT components only support AAC-LC

Uhm.. no... however the link is invalid and the megui version hasnt changed for a while...
So i fail to see how you hadnt problems few weeks ago and now it doesnt work.
Probably it's a bad ac3 stream.

[Selmer79]

possibly the audio is HE-AAC? QT components only support AAC-LC
My audio-profile is as follows: (o= not checked, v= checked)

o Force Decoding via DirectShow
Output Channels: Downmix to Stereo
v Increase Volume automatically
v Improve Accuracy using 32-bit & Float computations
o Delay Correction
CBR 128kbit/sec
AAC-profile: AAC-LC
o Create hint track

Like I said, I have problems getting sound on some movies in QT, but they play fine in foobar2000 and on my iPod..

EDIT:
I can see one thing they all have in common..
I have two movies and four OVA episodes (of wich 2 are bugged, see here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117630)), and they are as follows:
Ronin: 2h1m19s (no sound in QT, plays fine on my iPod)
The Boondock Saints: 1h48m21s (plays fine both in QT and on my iPod)
Samurai X Trust/Betrayal OVA Ep.1: 28m54s (plays fine both in QT and on my iPod)
Samurai X Trust/Betrayal OVA Ep.2: 29m01s + 1h59m19s of white at the end (plays without sound on QT, doesn't play more than 5s at a time on my iPod)
Samurai X Trust/Betrayal OVA Ep.3: 30m42s (plays fine both in QT and on my iPod)
Samurai X Trust/Betrayal OVA Ep.4: 30m49s + 1h59m18s of white at the end (plays without sound on QT, doesn't play more than 5s at a time on my iPod)

As you can see, all the movies that cross the 2h marker don't have sound, the ones below do (and the two bugged Samurai X episodes play just fine with sound and no white at the end in Zoom Player..

OK, for the sake of testing I've now tried the Kurtnoise, Nic and Celtic_Druid builds of MP4Box, and they all produce the same output.. :confused:

[Sharktooth]

Well, then it's seems a mp4box problem. Try reporting it in the appropriate place.

[Selmer79]

Will do...

EDIT: Done..

[carlo_0000]

i mean a decoder problem with the raw stream...
did you try to play the avs in MPC?

ha ok

you are right

i played the avs , i doesn't play correctly
it use the wrong filters : avi decompressor (yuy2)
video mixing render9 (renderless)

what can i do

i decrease the avi decompressor priority to (do not use) with DSFM directshow filter manager 0.5

and than could'nt play it
than i need to install an other filter?

do you know something what i can use ?
why doesn't it use the same filter's when i play the .raw ?

thanks for helping

it s not a bug with megui than lol :D

[Selmer79]

Oh, just remembered a bug that has been annoying me a lot..

I'm encoding stuff for my iPod, and I don't care about fitting stuff onto various optical media, so I want to encode my videos with 700kbit/sec datarate.. (700kbit give plenty quality for iPod-viewing and doesn't take much space)
I've set this in the iPod 5.5-profile (I think that's what the text-box to the right of "Bandwidth" is for), but meGUI keeps trying to make 700MB files, so I have to pop by the bitrate calculator before encoding or I end up with movies that use 3500+ kbit/sec..

Any way around this?

[hanti]

bug
requested bitrate is too low

i have this problem on almost all files i trying all options in avisytnh: directshowsource, assumefps, fps, convertfps, nicefps itp itd and this doesnt help for me

look at this strange .stats (http://rapidshare.com/files/2061402/lost.s03e04.rar.html) file after 10250 frames smth is wrong

any help ? pls


EDIT:



i solved this problem. just threads 2 doesnt work fine on movies longer than 30-40min like lost.03e04.xor ;)

after encoding 10000 frames smth is going wrong in statis file.
threads 1 works fine and if sombady use megui, this is need to be unchecked too
tools/settings/automatically set number of threads

i have
core2duo e6300
asus p5bdelux wifi
1gb ddr2

thx & bye soz for my bad english but i hope u understand this :P
i hope u will solvd this problem soon Sharktooth

[Sharktooth]

You should forward the issue to akupenguin (the main x264 developer a.k.a. pengvado).
However before doing that lets see if it is a real x264 bug coz i had no problems in using multiple threads.
Is your CPU overclocked?

[hanti]

yes
but at standard freq i have the same prob
and not only me --> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117074&highlight=requested+bitrate+is+too+low

btw u have c2d processor ? maybe this works fine with athlonx2 and pentiumD

maybe shared L2 cache in c2d its a problem :P

but if u have c2d i dont know whats is wrong .. then i think is smth wrong with my computer/os itp

[Sharktooth]

uhm... i havent a c2d... btw all those with problems are c2d users?

[hanti]

propably yes ;)

[akupenguin]

Is the encode deterministic? i.e. if you run the 1st pass again, do you get the same stats file?

What if you use "--threads 1 --thread-input"?

What if you compile without threads? (patch)

Hello,
Codec = XVID , it is not possible to choice MP4,with Automatic Encoding it is possible,but with "Add additional content",it is again not possible. Bug or feature :)

Heya Folk,

I see it's been brought up before:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=849884#post849884

However I'm seeing some massive memory leaks in the Interlace detection thingo when detecting a large interlaced dgindex file, maybe made worse as I had an x264 job running in the Q. Seems to loose chunks of memory regarless, but it lost abour 400MB+ on one particular detection.

[klinika]

I'd like to report a cosmetic bug that has been there since the beginning while using bbLean, a window manager replacing explorer.

All is fine and dandy at first thusly

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l35/tommykatkins/stuff/megui_1.jpg

But when any file selection dialog opens up, and only then

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l35/tommykatkins/stuff/megui_2.jpg

megui loses the 'skin' from the window it was opened from. Megui is the second app I've ever encountered that does this. Dunno if it's fixable but thought to let the devs know nevertheless :)

[Ronin-7]

I was wondering if anyone has noticed something along the lines of the stream information.txt no longer working in MeGUI.

It was working up to a point but some time ago on my system it stopped working in the D2V Creator and pops up the error message below. After that you just manually select which track, it is a bug or something wrong with my setup as I deleted the MeGUI folder & downloaded all the files again but it made no difference :confused:

http://homepage.eircom.net/~rock2002/temp/megui%20error.png

[kharan5876]

Not sure if this has been reported yet and it may be just my computer setup but heres something annoying ive seen. I apologize if this isn't a megui bug.

1- Create a d2v from a vob file using megui.
2- Rename or move or delete the vob file referenced by the d2v
3- Attempt to open the d2v in the avisynth script creator, youll get an error message saying the input files could not be found
4- Try to delete or edit the d2v file. From here on out Windows seems to think the file is in use and there doesnt appear to be any way to edit or delete the file without rebooting windows.

Nothing we can do. It's not a megui bug but rather a window manager bug.

Since when it isnt working? Can you identify a MeGUI version that had it working?

Sorry I do not recall it wasn't something major so I ignored it for the most part but curiosity eventually got the better of me which is why I posted here.

I have the latest version 0.2.3.2192 on both my systems (AMD, nForce 4), strange thing is I decided to borrow a laptop from a mate yesterday (Intel,915) and copied my MeGUI install directly over to his laptop and got the same errors.

After some further experimenting I found a workaround if I delete everything related to the subtitles in the stream information.txt leaving only the audio & video info the file is accepted by the D2V Creator so it looks like problem solved in a way.

[oddball]

I wish I could even get MeGUI to run. It just dies right away with a cryptic error message. :(

[SCIF]

There is checkbox "Enable PSNR calculation" in config x264 window in MeGUI rev. 2192. But in ContextHelp.xml wrote: <no-psnr name="Disable PSNR Computation">

When checking the "english" stream in MeGUI then proceeding with extracting, only the "french" stream is extracted (index 1).

Can someone else confirm this?

[check]

@oddball, more info please :) "cryptic error message" is of little use to us as the actual message is to you ;).

@scif: thanks. this was presumeably due to a change in the GUI which wasn't reflected in the contexthelp a while back.

@chip: interesting, you'll have to wait for doom9 to see as he's the only person who has poked that functionality afaik.

[oddball]

As the old addage goes. "A picture paints a thousand words".

This is all I get when I run MeGUI. I click OK and it exits. Nada. Zip. Zero.

[Selmer79]

About the "mp4box adds 2hrs of white to my video" error I reported earlier (details here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117630)), it's a meGUI bug actually.. I just ran the same sources through YAMB with the same mp4box (Nic's iPod-friendly build), and that output works perfect!

[check]

@oddball: looks like something has customised the standard windows error message. What happens if you disable windowblinds?

[oddball]

Don't worry it gives the same error on the other PC with default XP theme. So it's not that.

[check]

I'd suggest a full reinstall of all related components then (ie .net & megui)

I am having a problem with interlace detection in megui 2192. Everytime i try to detect interlacing with the algorithm, I get a error about not having tivtc in my avisynth folder. I most certainly do. I do have a newer version however, 1.000 RC7. Maybe that has something to do with it? I will download the version from the megui server and see if that fixes it.

In the mean time, here is the error:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d125/Merlin7777/meguiproblem.jpg


It looks like you guys may be possibly aware of this problem, as the update windows shows the switch from tivtc rc7 to rc 6. Let me test to be sure.

[ChronoCross]

the context changed in rc7 if I remember correctly. so they had to move back to rc6

[Adub]

Oh, okay. Yah, I tested with RC 8 as well and it too produces the error. RC 6 doesn't. Ill keep that in mind.

Thanks for the response. Sorry if this was already covered, I just didn't feel like coming through the past 20 pages or so on a dialsuck connection.

Not to be pushy, but did anyone from the dev. team ever look into that VobSub indexing problem I mentioned here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=900392#post900392)?

development has stopped pending someone finishing whatever-it-is that berriman got halfway through before vanishing.

Yeah I was wondering if dev. had stopped on megui since there haven't been any app releases in a while.

no, development is just "paused" coz we're "a bit" busy with real life issues.

The Greyscale option in the XviD Encoder Configuration adds the -grey parameter to the commandline, but this option is not supported by xvid_encraw.

Greyscale is part of the zones: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=913754#post913754

[Sharktooth]

we only support official xvid_encraw builds.

[elguaxo]

we only support official xvid_encraw builds.

Do you mean that at my report? I have tested the latest xvid_encraw that was updated by MeGUI itself, and then I tested another xvid_encraw build just in case. Both didn't accept the -grey parameter. See here: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=913745&postcount=603

Edit: if there is a version that supports -grey, where can I get it? Thanks!

[squid_80]

xvid_encraw from xvid's cvs doesn't have a -grey option. Can't get much more official than that.

[Sharktooth]

oh, sorry...then...
"Huston... we have a problem!"

I suppose a zone should be set then... What would be the correct commandline?

[squid_80]

If you want to leave the greyscale option where it is in MeGUI and have it affect the whole encode, add the G flag to all existing zones or if there aren't any make a new weight 1.0 zone starting at frame 0 e.g. -zones 0,w,1,G
Since it's a zone option though it might be better to move the setting onto the Zones tab page.

[Sharktooth]

Yes, it should be moved into zones options. I just didnt know the commadline parameter/flag to set. Thanx.

I updated the core to 0.2.4.1005 this morning and I have started getting this error on all the d2v's I tried analyzing since then:

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/4286/meguierrorue3.png

I tried specifying the source type myself, but same error. Anyone else getting this?

[berrinam]

If you set the source type yourself, you don't need to analyse.

I'll look into it, though.

[berrinam]

I found *a* bug (there may be more -- who knows). Here's a quick fix before I sleep (just overwrite your megui.exe with the one here):

If you set the source type yourself, you don't need to analyse. That isn't intuitive to the end user though. Maybe you should say that in the GUI. I thought the option for manually specifying the source type was to aid MeGUI in the analysis.

Using 0.2.4.1005, does not happen with 0.2.3.2193

Found this crash bug whenever I use "AutoEncode". When I click "Add additional content", and click the que button I get:

MeGUI encountered a fatal error

[oddball]

DVD9 bitrate calculation seems to be off. It came out oversized once I muxed in the AC3 track to an MKV file (I took the AC3 track into account by loading it in the bitrate calculator). It was off by quite a large amount so I could not burn it to a DVD9.

[Limobar]

I just used DGIndex via MeGUI on a PAL dvd. The number of frames that is shown in the Avisynth Script Creator is not correct (114560, while the correct number is 143200).

The film length and audio bitrate stated in the bitrate calculator are probably because of this also incorrect.

When I use the exact same version of DGIndex directly (outside MeGUI), the d2v file is correct (143200 frames). The film length and audio bitrate are then also correct in the Bitrate Calculator.

[berrinam]

I just used DGIndex via MeGUI on a PAL dvd. The number of frames that is shown in the Avisynth Script Creator is not correct (114560, while the correct number is 143200). MeGUI detected that force film was required, and adjusted accordingly. This caused the frame count to be reduced to 80% (143200 * 80% = 114560), and the framerate *should* have been adjusted accordingly. Are you sure it hasn't?

[Warpman]

clicking [...] on the right side of "Video Output" results in an Open file dialoge, of cause is should be Save file.

Using 0.2.4.1005

[chros]

Bug at the latest (0.2.4.1005) and this http://www.savefile.com/files/345598 version:
The sharktoth profiles are totally unuseable for me.
Try on the main page:
- select an avs input
- seletct eg. HQ-Insane
- press config
- at the mode select: Const quality (it should do a 1pass encode)
- press OK here, then press Enqueue: see at the queue tab that megui created a 2pass encode

And the bigger problem is that the complete profile system is broken: if you enter a bitrate (eg. 4000) at Automated 2pass mode, it will do the default 1000 kbps encode :(

At least I could see that how amazing the codec at 1000 kbps with a 1280*720 resolution ... :)

Edit: I can circumvent the problem until it will be fixed: after I have choosed the HQ-Insane profile, select the desired setting then press new.

[Carpo]

atm i know just how berrinam feels - you have a working program - and you think hell why not update it and add some new features - and then it breaks!!! :D

I'm not sure what you mean. Where do you mean the framerate should have been adjusted accordingly?

After creating the 80% avisynthscript, I used the Bitrate Calculator and found out there were some 'strange' things. I didn't start an encode, because of the values in the Bitrate Calculator.

http://pixel.bitsplitter.com/Pics/MeGUI Bitrate Calculator.JPG

1. Actual movie length is 1h35m28s.
2. Actual bitrate is 384 kbit/s.
3. Actual framerate is 25fps.
4. Actual framerate is 1791 kbit/s.

[dngnta]

When core updated itself from 0.2.3.2192 to 0.2.4.1005, d2v creation became buggy.

I work from MPEG-2 TV captures (NTSC), so the framerate should be 29.970 (so that I can properly run IVTC or ->60fps conversion on it). However, looking at the d2v the framerate gets written out as 23976 (24000/1001). This is wrooong.

Running dgindex manually, I get the correct framerate written in the d2v file.

[berrinam]

[EDIT: look to 0.2.4.1007 for the solution to your problems]



@Limobar: it seems like you have an interesting video, which is FILM (normally 29.376fps) but is actually 25fps. I would appreciate it if you could do a few things for me:
Create a d2v file without using MeGUI (so the fps is correct -- 25fps). Send it to me (or upload it here). I'm particularly interested in the very beginning and the end.
Tell me whether this source is genuinely film, which means that two out of every five frames are combed. If you can recognise this yourself, then please do. If not, run your 25fps d2v file through MeGUI's interlace detection (in Avisynth window) and tell me what it says. It would be better to use 0.2.3.2193 for that, since it actually works right now, and it also provides more diagnostic information.

If you want to encode your video right now, then just skip MeGUI for the DGIndex step, and everything should be fine.

This is a result of automatic force film detection which MeGUI runs, which will trigger DGDecode's IVTC if deemed necessary. If you want to overrule this, then you can turn Auto Force Film off in the settings.

[shadowchen]

When core updated from 0.2.3.2192 to 0.2.4.1005,the interface was like this,I think this is a bug.fix it plz.

What exactly "deems" it necessary? The file is 100% "video". There is *NO* reason why it should be detected as film.

Frankly, with the default settings it now fucks up all encodes made from TV captures. This *should not happen*.

[berrinam]

Perhaps this is a bug in MeGUI then. The correct behaviour deems it necessary when it is >95% film.

[berrinam]

@Limobar and @dngnta: 0.2.4.1007 should fix your problems.

[snyft]

Anywhere that i can download 0.2.4.1002 because of the new version i cant load avs: http://img344.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorsp9.jpg

i forgot i use a Swedish version of xp so i will translate it:
"The instruction on "random numbers/letters" referenced to the memory on "Random numbers/letters"
It couldent perform a memory task. Following error returned: "The memory could not be written".

As Hobojobo i can load avs with 0.2.3.2192.

[Hobojobo]

I can't load avs files either.
With MeGui 0.2.4.100x I get an error message:

Please make sure it's a valid AviSynth script and that....
Error message for your reference: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

[deets]

i seem to have a prob with 1008. its not taking the name of the file i put in video output and just uses the name from the avs file

[Thunderbolt8]

ye, sometimes its even complaining you cant use the same file name, because the ones just being encoded and written, although you already tried to change it like 3 times.

[wadim]

After autoupdating to 0.2.4.1008 i got interface screen messed up, look at screen, what should i do? http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/3392/untitled1zl6.th.jpg (http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled1zl6.jpg)

[JarrettH]

In the audio config box I can only check Delay Correction on or off...will it detect the delay from the file name? The usual box I input it in is blanked out.

[DeathTheSheep]

I did a simple test with 1008. I selected my input AVS (file.avs), and right under it, I quickly changed the filename to file2.264 (No, I did not click the browse button "...").

It didn't work. The output file was 'file.264' which overwrote my old file.264 (which, in some people's cases had been 12-hour encode suddenly lost).

This is the simplest case possible--load avs, save file. And it failed. It didn't save the file with the right name, instead overwriting the old one. Just thought I should report this little yet huge bug before more people start complaining (to me of all people!) that their MeGUI doesn't work.

[tecxx]

i'm having the same problem as wadmin, but on windows.

the main screen is totally messed up. note that i use "large fonts" in windows system settings, that might be the reason. old version worked fine though....

The problem occured when the GUI was tweaked a bit, probably around 0.2.4.1004 or 0.2.4.1005.

[sillKotscha]

im adding (in the free time) FTP support to autoupdater. it will be able to get files (and check for updates) from nero FTP...

as long as <ignore updates for this file> isn't checked, MeGUI still persists on updating neroaacenc...

maybe Christmas is a good time for adding FTP support... :)

that would be very nice and therefore thank you in advance...

[Sharktooth]

well, it will be still "illegal"...:(
that's why i didnt add it...

[sillKotscha]

nonetheless adding a FTP check out isn't illegal per se ...

in that case a pop-up message, like "a new version of neroaacenc is available. go to nerodigital (http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html) to download the latest version" would be a smart way...

when MeGUI is installed for the first time, an empty neroaac folder could be generated under \tools and it is the decision of the user if he/she is willing to download the nero aac encoder and place the files in that empty folder...

just a thought...

[Adub]

Yo, Sharktooth! I am still having that update problem again. Every time I try to update the Megui core, it fails. Or rather it appears to download the file, asks me to restart, and then stays at the current version, 2193. You said previously that this seems to be a problem with the .net cache. Is there something i can do about this?

also if it helps, I do not have .NET version 1.1 installed.

[Sharktooth]

it happened to me too... i had to format & reinstall windows for a definitive fix.
What you can do is unistall MeGUI completely and delete the remaining folders (including all files).
Download the latest version from x264.nl and install it.

[sillKotscha]

just start everything all over... delete your current MeGUI folder and download the last official package from here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=156112

then go through the automated update process and I bet everything will be ok ;)

EDIT:

got me ;)

[fields_g]

I too am having the Large Font layout issue. I just developed the problem very reciently. My computer isn't set to large fonts, but under Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, the DPI setting is set to Large size. So I guess it is a resize issue.

BTW... I love to see the improvements happening again!

[Adub]

@Sharktooth
Do I have to do this every time? I can live with it, I just would rather not. Do you know what is causing this?

[chipzoller]

also in 1009...when creating an x264 project by modifying a profile to enable 'turbo' first-pass mode in my case is ineffective. Other codec changes seem to take as shown by the command line, but not turbo (in automated 2-pass mode).

[Audionut]

With v1009 If I set threads manually, megui takes it upon itself to use 2 threads regardless of what I set.

Also and I think this was reported in a different thread.
Megui no longer pops up the progress box on the 2nd pass.

edit: Even If I set threads to auto (0) it still encodes with threads 2.
Even though the command line viewer in the video config dialog shows the correct setting.

With Megui results are
71.02fps first pass
13.44fps 2nd pass

Command line with threads auto
75.27fps first pass
15.10fps 2nd pass

[JarrettH]

When I make my AAC file from AC3 it comes out almost 2 minutes shorter. I did the same for another DVD and the same thing happened. AAC file always a few minutes shorter. I'm using MeGUI + its Nero encoder and DGIndex Forced Film. Could this be due to the frame rate difference? Will it sync properly if I mux the AAC with my video?

All I did was use Rip4Me, then DGIndex (launched separately from MeGUI), then all the MeGUI stuff.

[dngnta]

The file size or average bitrate settings in the Automatic Encoding dialogue is ignored, and it sets always "--btrate 1000" like this:

For clarification, this "1000" bitrate probably comes from the currently selected profile settings. It shouldn't override whatever bitrate I specify in AutoEncode.

Also, it bothers me that the default resize in Avisynth Script Creator is now bilinear instead of lanczos as it was before.

@Sharktooth
Do I have to do this every time? I can live with it, I just would rather not. Do you know what is causing this?
MeGUI runs another program upon closing which waits 2 seconds and then replaces MeGUI.exe with the new version. Perhaps MeGUI doesn't shut down in those 2 seconds, keeping the write protection on MeGUI.exe and preventing the update....

[berrinam]

Oh and in the queue list it does not let me right click to postpone a job. I found this feature very useful if I just wanted to finish a job up, load a game/movie, and continue my queue later. :sly:

Weird, but since I updates to last builds on my laptop, the main menu is screwed up, can't even see queue button anymore, everything is fine on my pc with same files.

[DeathTheSheep]

And the good old Autostart Queue doesn't work with AutoEncode.

Also, could you re-implement the a/v file source autodetection (i.e. If I select file.avs for video, file.avs would automatically be selected for audio too unless changed by the user)?

Thanks

[rack04]

Has the option "Shutdown at encode completion" been removed in the latest version? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[DeathTheSheep]

Tools - Settings - Extra Config - Shutdown.

[DeathTheSheep]

More juicy bugs:
While in safe profile alteration mode, it doesn't let you change any settings unless you make a whole new profile to do so. This is different from the behavior of 0.2.3.2192, which allowed you to tweak options at will but simply not update the profile with them.

[berrinam]

Also, could you re-implement the a/v file source autodetection (i.e. If I select file.avs for video, file.avs would automatically be selected for audio too unless changed by the user)?I'm not familiar with this. Where does it occur?

[Sharktooth]

i think he means in the main form. when selecting the avs for video, you should also manually select an audio source.
that wont be good for DVDs though...
Maybe we can add something in the avisynth creator. Just a checkbox to use the same .avs for audio and automatically fill the audio input textbox on script creator close.

Hey

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to be posting in .. . but here goes . .

I just updated MeGUI with the autoupdate - updated 'core' and 'x264' - and tried a few encodings from mpeg-2 (d2v) to x264 and the file sizes are way off. I used the 'AutoEncode' and set the output filesize to 200MB and it turned out something like 173MB.

I haven't had this problem before updating. It was always pretty spot on with filesize before I updated yesterday.

I later tried setting the filesize using the 'Bitrate Calculator' and then just 'No Target Size (Use profile settings)' in 'AutoEncode' and that worked pretty perfect. The filesize was 199.8 MB.

Is there something wrong with the core or x264 update ?
Or is something else the problem ?

It seems as though the filesize I'm selecting in the AutoEncode window isn't being implemented on the encoding. x264 is just using the standard 1000kbps from the profile settings.

The desired filesize of 2000MB is right, but it turns out being 173 MB or therebouts and only 1000kbps instead of something closer to 1200kbps like I've selected.

Rely? Cause that is were I looked.

Wait. If it is not showing up there, that would be my problem. I wonder why that is not going there. I will check for absolute positive tomorrow. If, as I believe it is, the core is not there, what is going on?

It's not called 'core'. I'm pretty sure it's the megui.exe file

[Adub]

really? Wouldn't it be something more like megui.exe.temp or something. Because I looked for that I believe but it wasn't there. Again I will have to check for sure in the morning.

[Adub]

Here is a separate incident of MeGUI. This is on a different computer. It happens when I tried to update the core, or the update copier.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d125/Merlin7777/megui2.jpg

Oh, and the core was downloaded to the main MeGUI folder, under the .tempcopy extension. I don't think this is happening on my other computer.

Note: This happened on both 2192 and the 2.4.1009 versions.

[spanky123]

Any news on
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=919355#post919355

Is this a bug in the new 'core' update that doesn't implement the desired filesize/bitrate from the AutoEncode window or is it something else ?

Can someone else who updated today or yesterday see if it works for them ?

[Ronin-7]

spanky123 I'm getting the same problem as you anything through auto encode when you select a file size comes out undersized.

I normally use the 2100MB 3 CD's setting but every time I use it the file comes out at 950-1000MB in size.

I'm also getting the same fatal error warning from MeGUI someone else mentioned a few posts back when you tick the box for add additional connect and click on Queue.

Running the latest version of MeGUI and x264.

I had encountered one other bug in the the audio was way off (not in sync with video) with the encodes but the most recent update to x264 seems to have corrected it or at least the test I did this morning had.

[JarrettH]

Colour Correction isn't selected by default. There goes my 12hrs :cool: :D

[spanky123]

spanky123 I'm getting the same problem as you anything through auto encode when you select a file size comes out undersized.

Yeah. Mine just uses the profile settings (which is always 1000kbps for HQ-Slow) instead of overwriting that bitrate and forcing the new filesize/bitrate.

You can use the bitrate calculator and then 'apply' to change the bitrate in the profile for each encoding so that you hit the desired file size.That works.
Autoencode is a bit easier though. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Note: This happened on both 2192 and the 2.4.1009 versions.Kind of a similar thing happens to me right after i updated the core to 2.4.1010. In Tools>Settings>Program Paths: When I try to specify the path to my avisynth plugins folder for MeGUI.. i get an error mssg and then the path does show up in the blank space, but when i try using the Script creator, it gives error for not finding the dgdecode.dll or any of the plugins at all. So then i checked the settings again and the path to the plugins folder is again empty. It wont accept the directory to the plugins, no matter wht ;o..I went back to the previous stable version, tried uninstall/re-install, nothing working..i get the same error :/

[Adub]

fixed my update issue. I was using an Auto update xml file that I brought with me from a different computer, so all of the files were going to c:\program files\x264. My mistake.

Oh, one bug.
When I update the profiles from auto update, and the choose profiles to update window appears, it is blank. I mean there are no profiles to choose from.

[Adub]

Another bug. Maybe. When Automatically set Threads is enabled for x264, I get 2 threads. Shouldn't it be to --threads auto? Maybe we just have to turn auto set threads off?

If I do that then the profiles for x264 show threads=1 in the config window. Instead of 0. But that may be expected.

Lastly, on the second pass, when auto set threads in Megui is turned off, and threads are set to 0 in the profile config window, I get no separate window for Encoding the second pass. Sure it shows up on the first pass, but not the second. Encoding still continues, I just can't see the frame rate and such.

[Sharktooth]

uh?!?

[Adub]

Ok Sharktooth. I have read the wiki. And it confirmed my own thoughts. Thanks for pointing it out by the way.

About that last comment of mine.

What I was saying was this. When I run a two pass encode, the progress window, containing number of frames, current framerate and so on, doesn't show up on the second pass.

Actually, this is not always true. My last encode the dialog showed up corretly, which is great but kind of weired. Considering how the first encode I ran didn't give me the second pass dialog, I am a little confused.

I will run some more tests and report back.

[Sharktooth]

Yesterday i updated the wiki...
about the status window, tests are welcome. i cant just reproduce.

[Adub]

Well, seems to be working correctly now. Huh. Odd. Ok don't worry about it Sharktooth. If it happens again I will let you know.

[Audionut]

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=918991#post918991

Also and I think this was reported in a different thread.
Megui no longer pops up the progress box on the 2nd pass.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=918704#post918704

and btw. recently the small encoding status window keeps dissapearing. I just have the normal megui frontend and have to read the percentage values from the headline, but of course cant see any fps or time values any more (I mean I can fool him and cancel/retry encoding after 1st pass, but thats not the way it should work -.-)

[spanky123]

There's another update for the x264 and core just now.

Anyone know if this has anything to do with the 'AutoEncode' filesize being off ?

I tried to re-run UpdateCopier.exe but it wouldnt run. I had to download megui.exe (only this file which was missing) - then it worked fine.

[chros]

Bug at the latest (0.2.4.1005) and this http://www.savefile.com/files/345598 version:
The sharktoth profiles are totally unuseable for me.
Try on the main page:
- select an avs input
- seletct eg. HQ-Insane
- press config
- at the mode select: Const quality (it should do a 1pass encode)
- press OK here, then press Enqueue: see at the queue tab that megui created a 2pass encode

And the bigger problem is that the complete profile system is broken: if you enter a bitrate (eg. 4000) at Automated 2pass mode, it will do the default 1000 kbps encode :(

At least I could see that how amazing the codec at 1000 kbps with a 1280*720 resolution ... :)

Edit: I can circumvent the problem until it will be fixed: after I have choosed the HQ-Insane profile, select the desired setting then press new.

Is it just me who is facing this problem ???
Or is it a feature? If it is, I liked the old way much better.

the problem is that all sizes and positions are offset by a factor of ~1.5 or ~1.4. i was writing a program once and manually set all positions in the OnSize Handler with SetWindowPosition(). With large fonts, the positioning and sizing was messed up. My fix was to simply divide all the values by 1.5 if large fonts are enabled.

i don't know how megui is doing this, though. could you at least please move the "encode" button somewhere we can see it (maybe top right of the window), that would be sufficient and we can use the program again.

btw, we have "large fonts" enabled for a reason, with 1280 resolutions and upwards the normal font size is so small that my eyes start to hurt very soon....

megui sometimes crashes recently when trying to delete aborted files in the queue. then you either have to restart windows in order to be able to start it again or also reinstall megui.

[foxyshadis]

well, it will be still "illegal"...:(
that's why i didnt add it...

Then why, half a year after this was brought up, does upgrade.xml still have these lines:

<neroaacenc type="file">
<filepath version="2006-05-08">naac_20060508.zip</filepath>
<filepath version="2006-05-26">naac_20060526.zip</filepath>
</neroaacenc>

A full year ago you were asked to remove these lines, instead you make people suffer non-stop confusing upgrade errors, with no more than a faq a few particularly frustrated people might go looking for to explain how to fix it. All you have ever had to do to fix it was remove those lines pointing to non-existant zips from upgrade.xml! (Or replace them with empty zips if it suits your fancy.)


0.2.4.1011
Commit by Sharx1976:
- Better codecs profiles management: the OK button in the codec config window now pops up a messagebox asking if you want to update the profile

Really, really painful to use now. As DTS pointed out, no way to create custom one-off settings; you either have to ruin a profile or create random junk profiles. Entirely unintuitively, using no will reset the profile and close the dialog, leaving you to think you are using them without saving them, but you aren't using them at all! It should also only come up at all with safe profile alteration, I imagine, because it gets annoying fast.

Correct behavior should be that Yes saves the profile, while No saves the current settings to the session and applies them to the encode, like the 21xx versions did, but of course doesn't touch the profile. If you have to have a hidden __session__ profile to do it, great.

MeGUI 0.2.4.1018 and before:
Profiles:
I select for example an audio-profile (NDAAC HE64kbit), change to LC-ACC, 0,12 Quality, press "New", give profile a new name. Confirm all.

Now when I select the new profile in Mainwindow the audio configuration window shows again the HE 64kbit profile. I have to choose the profiles tab in the audio configuration window to choose my new profile and see the made changes.

All "old" profiles are directly shown when selected in main window and config is pressed.

[AMED]

Is there any chance of getting the profile importer that is used with the autoupdate to open in front of the autoupdate window?

It always opens behind the window, which makes it look like the update has hung.

Really, really painful to use now. As DTS pointed out, no way to create custom one-off settings; you either have to ruin a profile or create random junk profiles. Entirely unintuitively, using no will reset the profile and close the dialog, leaving you to think you are using them without saving them, but you aren't using them at all! It should also only come up at all with safe profile alteration, I imagine, because it gets annoying fast.

Correct behavior should be that Yes saves the profile, while No saves the current settings to the session and applies them to the encode, like the 21xx versions did, but of course doesn't touch the profile. If you have to have a hidden __session__ profile to do it, great.

The old behaviour should still be easily possible. I'll look into it sometime soon.

MeGUI 0.2.4.1018

i open a mpg .d2v file in script editor, then went and analyzed and previewed - (nice feature), then went to autocrop it said to re-open original video window, so i did - then hit autocrop but then it errored

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8463/meguierrords4.png (http://imageshack.us)

Confirmed, will fix.

[spanky123]

Also, is it possible to remove 'neroaacenc' from the update thing, seeing as it never downloads ? ??

[Sharktooth]

Removing those lines from the upgrade.xml file will remove neroaacenc from the autoupdate.
However i think displaying the nero license (with "i accept" and "cancel" buttons) and if the user accepts it, downloading neroaacenc zip from the Nero FTP is legal, anyone?

[Sharktooth]

Replace your 0.2.4.1018 megui bin with this one to fix the OneClick encoder "config" button crash: http://www.webalice.it/f.corriga/megui/MeGUI_vs.7z

that is also the kind of error message I desribed. now I have to restart windows in oder to be able to start megui again :S

[buzzqw]

@Sharktooth

better solution , on click on YES (on to confirm the download of neroaac) open default browser on NeroAACenc download page AND START the download

BHH

[Taxidermista]

I've updated megui today to version 0.2.4.1018 and m2v files can't be opened with Avisynth Script Creator anymore. Until now I've been working with these files without problems to create a d2v file and the related avs file.

[Sharktooth]

bug already reported and confirmed.

[ChronoCross]

@ChronoCross: can you describe what you do, because I just tested with 0.2.4.2015 and it works fine....

heh I really wish I could provide some type of error message however I did do some testing.

It appears that if megui is manually updated after the autoupdater fails (did you guys change something because it used to work perfectly before) the issue occurs. If reverted back all jobs enqueued show up.

If you get it to update automatically the problem doesn't occur.

I'm going to put this in the bugs that only occur under wierd and not often likely situations.

[tecxx]

hello, thanks for fixing the large fonts issue.

this is how megui looks now:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/megui1.jpg
(usable, all ok)

this is the job window:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/megui2.jpg
(usable, but some buttons are misplaced and not clickable)


this is the preview window, with a small bug, but this one was already there in the previous versions:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/megui-prev1.jpg

this happens when i resize it:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/megui-prev2.jpg

so, no big issue.
again, thanks for fixing!



=======================

there is something else i'd like to report.
i'm encoding my audio to ogg vorbis, multichannel, quality 0.6. the size of the resulting files is the same as when i set it to multichannel, quality 0.3. i also tried quality 1 or quality 0.1 - the files are always the same size. what's wrong?

see this screenshot for an example:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/oggerror.jpg


cheers!

[berrinam]

I've updated megui today to version 0.2.4.1018 and m2v files can't be opened with Avisynth Script Creator anymore. Until now I've been working with these files without problems to create a d2v file and the related avs file.

I removed that ability. You have to index it first with the D2V Creator.

[spanky123]

I have this problem too.
I expect it will be fixed up,:thanks:

=============================
Aaah,this problem is fixed up in ver. 0.2.4.1017.:thanks:

Yes it is. Thanks

:cool:

[johnsmith]

My MeGUI is 0.2.4.1008. I can't update it because update host at 64.74.232.24 doesn't contain neither XML file nor anything else (domain registration expired?).

I've noticed bug in profile handling. If entry in SelectedProfiles.xml points to non-existing video profile(which was deleted manually outside the program) MeGUI just quits during startup.
In order to make MeGUI start I had to manually edit SelectedProfiles.xml and replace <string>My Profile<string> to <string />.

[Sharktooth]

The auto-update server is down due to exceeded traffic.
Please be patient until we fix the issue.
Also the bug should be already fixed.

[johnsmith]

Another bug (0.2.4.1008):
Prelude: I have a profile that uses x264 in 2-pass mode. Profile is tuned to 1st of 2 passes.

1. I open AVS file, then I select my profile and press "Enqueue". Everything is fine in Queue tab.

2. I keep AVS file, keep profile, then press "Config" button and change mode from "2pass - 1st pass" to "2pass - 2nd pass". Then I press "OK" and "Enqueue". And when I go to the Queue tab I see 2 jobs there. Interesting thing that both jobs have mode "2pass - 1st pass".

I think it's a relatively new bug because I didn't have it on earlier builds(dated more that half of year ago).


BTW, where can I get latest sources? I can handle some problems by myself. I've downloaded SVN sources from sourceforge.net, but it contains very old versions in tag folder, and one from branches\dll can't be compiled due to missing of branches\old:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.CSharp.targets(63,9): error MSB3041: Unable to create a manifest resource name for "..\old\megui_profiles\core\gui\PackageManagerForm.resx". Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Projects\C#\MeGUI\branches\old\megui_profiles\core\gui\PackageManagerForm.cs'.

Aaaaaaaaaah. I just uninstalled MeGUI and now am stuck with just the core and x264. Now I appreciate your (and everyone involved) work and realise how good megui is even more than before.

Is there anywhere to download the whole megui pack (other than the autoupdate). I can only find the megui basic install thing and all the other tools and profiles seperately

[Thunderbolt8]

^^same :p

[DeathTheSheep]

http://xs510.xs.to/xs510/06510/megui.PNG (http://xs.to)
This happens whenever I try to erase certain jobs like linked jobs from AutoEncode (especially when megui is encoding something else on the list).

I tried to delete some done jobs from the queue and it gives this error:

http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/2092/meguierrorrf7.png


It wont even exit, will keep giving the key not found error. I am doing an End Task now.

Even Clear wont work

I could replicate this error again

1. Queue two jobs, let one job abort (for me the mux job aborts frequently)
2. Close MeGUI and enqueue two more (video) jobs
3. Try to delete the first two jobs in the list

The error is thrown and the only way to get out is to do an End Task.

[check]

@warpman, and what happens if you remove the custom skin?

[spanky123]

Is there some site or anyone that can help us downloaded the full megui pack - with all tools and profiles needed ?

[Sharktooth]

x264.nl or just get the latest 0.2.4.1020 from SourceForge that has multiple update servers support.

[johnsmith]

x264.nl or just get the latest 0.2.4.1020 from SourceForge that has multiple update servers support.
binaries at x264.nl are very outdated(0.2.3.2193). but ones at sourceforge are new. thanx for update.

[Warpman]

@warpman, and what happens if you remove the custom skin?
nothing...

[johnsmith]

Sharktooth, I recalled another very old bug:

I have Pentuim-4 with HT. I select 1 thread in Config window for x264 (because I need 2nd virtual core for other tasks). But it writes 2 into job file no matter what I do.

I have to exit MeGUI every time before encoding and manually edit job files:
change --threads 2 to --threads 1
and <NbThreads>2</NbThreads> to <NbThreads>1</NbThreads>.

Please fix.

Nothing wrong, just disable "Automatic set number of threads" in megui settings.

Yep, we know about those visual "bugs", but i think we prefer to fix real issues first.

[rack04]

I totally agree. Just passing on my findings.

[Sharktooth]

Anyways... i've committed some "cosmetic fixes"...
A new build is coming to the update server...

[tecxx]

if this was about the ogg vorbis thing, let me know what you need?

[johnsmith]

Another bug in 0.2.4.1020 - I think somebody already reported it.

It happens when I select 2 jobs in jobs list and press "Delete" button. Something wrong with selection handling:

6582

It never(I think) happens if I use "Clear" button or use "Delete" button when only one job is selected.

[johnsmith]

And one more thing... I don't know is it bug or something else...

I have following entry in settings window (and settings.xml as well):
x264 path: D:\Programs\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264.exe

MeGUI uses x264 CLI frome above directory for encoding. But during update process updater writes new x264 executable here: C:\Program Files\x264\x264.exe

Why?

[johnsmith]

And one more bug:

MeGUI can't shutdown locked workstation. However my UPS software does so without installing 0-ring driver, so I think it's possible for MeGUI as well.

[johnsmith]

And one more:

Problems during load mkv mux job at startup:

I've created mkv mux job: 1 video file (mkv), 2 audio files (mp3 128 VBR), 2 subtitle files (2 idx/sub pairs), 1 chapters file (UTF-8).

If I try to run job immediately after creating it, the job completes successfully. But if I exit MeGUI and start it again, it says that 'Job ".......\job1.xml" could not be loaded. Delete?'.

[chros]

The old behaviour should still be easily possible. I'll look into it sometime soon.
Thanks, it would be much useable ...
So, at I'm not the one who don't like this new feature (thanks foxyshadis)...

And: has anyone Sharktooth profiles for the last 2.3.xxx branch ? I made this mistake that I haven't zipped the last known config ... :)
(I have searched with google, I have downloded the latest from x264.nl v33, but this can't be imported ...)

Thanks

[zacoz]

@chros
No not the only one. I'm a first time MeGUI user, and didn't want to wreck the nicely configured profiles so said no to overwriting/saving changes to profile. I expected that the changes I had made would still be utilised for the session - most programs I've used seem to work this way - choose a preset and it becomes a temporary custom one as soon as you change anything.

I now have to go back and re-encode for another 12 hours to see what my first proper MeGUI output looks like. :(

@berrinam
Thanks for looking into it.

@MeGUI Developers
Thanks for all the work - so far impressed with the program.

[Carpo]

not sure on this one but here goes

in dgindex the films are showing as interlaced - but when i go to create avs and i let it scan to see what type of film megui thinks it is it always says progressive, no i have read other places that most pal sources are progrssive and just marked as interlaced but is this a bug?

[MoUCLAs]

Hello i dealing the last days with a crash problem when i try to update megui. At the beginning it crashed when it downloads the core update , but i passed it when a frind gave me the updated megui.exe. When i runned the new version it crashed at the next update : "data" exactly after it downloads the update again.

I have installed/uninstalled the NET Framework , cleared the registry from any megui recordings , deleted and re-created the folder of megui trying with the 3 last versions from scratch and from the completed folder that i had before i made format my pc.

The known window of "Megui has encoutered a problem..." appears each time..

[Carpo]

This happens whenever I try to erase certain jobs like linked jobs from AutoEncode (especially when megui is encoding something else on the list).

i can confirm this - using 2.4.1022 - if you del say job-1.1 it will delete the job (and all others in the que) and flip up an error, if you try to close megui by pressing the x on the top corner another error pops up and the only way to kill it is to open task manager and kill the process

[spanky123]

Another thing with the update:

it doesn't seem to download the TXvid profiles. It says it downloaded but doesn't have anything to import when you update

also, all the cqm files and that that are needed for the xvid encoding profiles aren't there

[Sharktooth]

i didnt made those profiles... however the cqm files are not provided.

[Carpo]

@Sharktooth or any dev - any update on the other two issues i posted about - megui saying most of the interlaced films im trying to do are progressive and the queue analysis pass not turning up in the que when selected ?

[ChronoCross]

would it be possible to provide part of the source? So that it can be investigated using your actual conditions.

[Carpo]

ye how big a file you need and where do i send em, ones i have tested so far are chopper PAL R2 and lee evans XL tour, i did test al murry giving it both barrels (again pal r2) dgindex says interlaced megui says hybrid intelaced / film

[spanky123]

It crashes a lot with me now. First it crashed when I just updated the TXvid profiles, then it crashes when I try delete jobs from the queue.

And then it doesn't start again. It just crashes (send error report) before it opens up properly

It's not an unstable system either i dont think. Never had this problem until a couple days ago.

[check]

@spanky, try reinstalling megui, and the .net framework for good measure. It's as stable as a rock here.

[Donholio]

Hi,

Since I have updated to 1020 or 1022 today, MeGUI no longer works for me on my x86_64 Windows.

If I use a x86 version of Windows, I have no issues whatsoever.

The issue(s) I have:

When opening an DV2 file I get an error that looks like it is unable to find the AVS filter to decode the DV2 file. Ahh... I say to myself, maybe my filters are missing / messed up. Nope, they are all in my Avisynth directory.

So then I go check the Settings-Program Paths information on MeGUI. HEY! What happened to my plugins directory?!?!? It's blank now, no listing of a directory. That's OK, I will just manually add it! OK, so I pick my directory and I get-

"MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be avle to proceed. Reason: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source of exception: MeGUI stacktrace: at MeGUI.MeGUISettings.set_AvisynthPluginsPath(String value)

at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control. WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message & m)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

Well shoot. So I check to make sure it's not a path issue by moving the directory to a location with no spaces in the path off the root. No luck.

I also tried copying over the settings.xml file from my working x86 Windows machine, and the Avisynth directory is still blank.

Just so I can add as much as possible, this was not an issue prior to 1020 or maybe 1019. I manually updated from the x264.nl site because the auto update server wasn't working any more.

I even tried copying the entire MeGUI directory from my working x86 machine to my x86_64 machine, but the problem happens only on x86_64.

I am going back to using the last available working version (2.3.2193) and update everything I can before it breaks (no profiles, etc). I would appreciate it if the 2.4.1019 or prior version could be made available. I hate going this far back as none of my created profiles work any more.

I am also willing to be a tester for any version you guys produce. I am anxious to go back to using the current version of the best encoder available!

Thanks

Donholio

[Donholio]

Hi,

I reinstalled .net 2.0 x64 as was suggested in prior posts. I still get the same error.

I rolled back to 0.2.4.1005 and the problems went away. I will be staying on this until we can get this issue worked out or until I can get a later version.

Thanks for all the great work!

[spanky123]

@spanky, try reinstalling megui, and the .net framework for good measure. It's as stable as a rock here.

Maybe. I've reinstalled megui 2 times already. Maybe I'll reinstall then .NET framework. I've actually got 1.1 and 2.0 on the one machine. There's nothing wrong with that is there ?

Another problem was that the xvid encodings seemed to encode ok, but they turn out kinda blurry and all messed up colours.
Here's a screenshot of what they look like when played in VLC
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3317/vlcsnap439668aw2.png
In MPC it's pretty much the same, except the green is grey

I got no idea what's goin on. I also encode to xvid with GK and that's still working perfectly. So I don't think there's anything wrong with any filter or xvid encoder/decoder. The problem is somewhere in my megui xvid profiles or those cqm files i think.
Also, x264 is working perfect also in megui

[check]

no, both framework versions is fine. Anyway, what happens if you run the xvidencraw commandline from the commandline or as a batch?

...

Sounds like whoever is compiling it has forgotten the /platform:x86 switch. If you really want to use the latest version you'll need a utility called corflags.exe to manually mark MeGUI as a 32-bit runtime.
