MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[Dark Eiri]

Somehow, .1003 broke it for me too. Your update fixed it, Kurtnoise! I think you should submit it to the autoupdate servers to avoid more people getting this error.

[Snowknight26]

It seems that the bitrate calculator is inaccurate when selecting a 1509.75kbps DTS track. The track is 1,109,831,316 bytes and 1:38:00 long, which comes out to 1509.75kbps, not 1536kbps. When I select DTS and type in the actual size of the file in bytes, it displays it fine as 1509.

[Razorholt]

1003+patch works fine. Thanks Kurtnoise13!

[mariush]

First time I post, though I read the forums for a long time.

Just updated to 1003 and now the application fails to load any AVS file. It worked before, without making any changes to the system.


The error message says:

[...]
Error message for your reference: Method not found: 'System.String MediaInfoWrapper.AudioTrack.get_Format()'.

http://savedonthe.net/image/164/Clipboard01.png

By going in the Settings and disabling Preview, it's possible to load the AVS file and queue it for processing and processing works.

ps. I obviously have to get used to reading previous posts, sorry about this, I now see it's already reported.

[Fonteyn]

Kurtnoise13, Thank you for your fixed, and thank you to put the 2share's downloading address!

Could never be a success from "Mediafire" to download anything!

Thanks again

huh ? never heard that a DTS track can have a such bitrate. Could you upload a sample please ?



@all:

sorry for the convenience...Sharktooth has been tooo fast yesterday and forgot to include the new MediaInfoWrapper library. I hope he will fix that soon. I've no control on the megui update server to change this except to provide a build as pointed above.

[thetoof]

Thanks for the patch, it's all working well now.

[Nightshiver]

huh ? never heard that a DTS track can have a such bitrate. Could you upload a sample please ?



@all:

The DTS track has such a high bitrate because it came from a Blu-Ray or other HD source. That bitrate is generally the standard for HD audio from DTS.

[Kurtnoise]

yes...I've some DTS tracks @1536kbps from BDs but never seen 1509,75kbps.

[Sharktooth]

i included the wrong version of the lib... fixed. oh... and sorry for the inconvenience. i had no time to test the build so i didnt spot the problem...

[pcjco04]

I have a request about the way to display audio track name in the One Click Encoder window (from VOB files). Is it possible to put the same informations as shown in D2V Creator panel (language is missing in One Click Encoder panels) ?

[Snowknight26]

yes...I've some DTS tracks @1536kbps from BDs but never seen 1509,75kbps.

Can't get a sample, but it seems that all (100+) of my non-zero padded DTS tracks are 1509kbps (1510 if you round up, which is what everything before 0.3.1.1003 did):

eac3to:
+ DTS-Core
- frameSize 2013
- DTS-ES -
- channelNo 5
- lfe 1
- channelDescr 5.1
- samplingRate 48000
- bitDepth 24
- bitrate 1509750
- samplesPerFrame 512
- copyHistory 1
DTS, 5.1 channels, 2:03:41, 24 bits, 1510kbps, 48khz

MediaInfo:
Audio
Format : DTS
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 1 536 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Resolution : 24 bits

Simple math:
(1,400,550,789 bytes / (2:03:41)) * 8 = ~1509.8kbps

Looks like MediaInfo isn't that accurate. Plus, I don't even see why you need MediaInfo to analyze the audio stream when, if you have a video length already typed in and you select an audio track, MeGUI can use a form of the above equation to get the real kbps (assuming you've selected a desired size too; subtracting the audio track from the desired size is so much easier).

Also, the changelog window has the generic VS.NET icon, and when you try to minimize that window, you can't maximize it without right clicking on the task bar, Maximize, then resizing the window manually.

Edit: To add info, I have two files. One freshly encoded, the other run through eac3to to strip zero padding.

eac3to.exe "G:\Encoding Tools\temp\verticallimit.dts"
DTS, 5.1 channels, 2:04:27, 24 bits, 1510kbps, 48khz

eac3to.exe "G:\Encoding Tools\temp\verticallimit.padding.dts"
DTS (zero padded), 5.1 channels, 2:04:27, 16 bits, 1510kbps, 48khz

verticallimit.dts - (1,409,192,598 bytes / 2:04:27) * 8 = 1509kbps
verticallimit.padding.dts - (1,433,694,208 bytes / 2:04:27) * 8 = 1536kbps

MeGUI reports both as being 1536kbps, even though only one is (eac3to reports both as being 1510 because it doesn't take padding into consideration).

Hi:

I can't make One Click Encoder to mux original audio properly. :confused:

I am trying to keep the original ac3 audio from a set of vobs, encode the video to AVC in mkv container.

I choose the audio stream (it is 081, the second one), and go. (Note: a language indication could help a lot here)

The one click encoder runs an index phase, an a d2v plus the selected ac3 streams are created, and then video encodes perfectly to title_video, but finally no muxing takes place and the ac3 audio is deleted by the cleanup job.

I am running last 1004 version.

Thanks for the help

[Kurtnoise]

no log, no help...

[alexcel]

Here is the logfile and the jobs created by One Click encoder. It does not create a mux job and deletes the demuxed audio stream at the end

[Kurtnoise]

it seems that audio stream has been skipped. Hence, no mux at last...Could you recreate a d2v file in the d2v creator (Tools->), select the same audio track and retry an index ?

At the end, do you have still your audio stream extracted ?

[alexcel]

Yes, the d2v creator created a d2v file + the correct audio stream "Title T81 3_2ch 384Kbps DELAY -200ms.ac3". I visually checked the working dir while encoding video... But the cleanup job deleted it at the final stage.

If a retry an index the audio is extracted perfectly again. I can mux it manually and it works.

When I use One Click Encoder with vobs with only 1 audio track or if the selected audio track is the first one, it works flawlessly

But if I choose the second audio track when there are several tracks, them it fails

Hope this helps to clarify the issue.

Thanks, kurtnoise, for checking this.

[Kurtnoise]

ok, that helps...the next release will use the same d2v Creator routines for the One-Click Encoder when we load vob files. That should fix your problem.

but, i'll try to track down the current code to know why that fails with 2nd track selection.

[rack04]

The latest x264 update extracts as x264.1065M.

[Sharktooth]

.... my fault... again...
fixed.

note to self (no. 3): never do critical tasks while you're in a hurry...

[alexcel]

Hi Kurtnoise.

Thank for the help and quick response.

The 1005 build now reads perfectly the audio language, and now I can choose the spanish stream.

But build 1005 seems to have broken what was right.

My first audio is mapped in my vobs as 129 (0x81) according to mediainfo. But now One Click Encoder maps it as 128 (0x80), and so no demuxing occurs and now no audio stream .ac3 is created. As the audio is not created, no final remuxing occurs.

If I run a single index d2v job, I have to select demux all streams, otherwise the index job has the same bug and no audio stream are created.

thanks again

[Snowknight26]

The Help button is shorter than the Reset button.
The audio bitrate issue is still present, too.

this is not a bug. It's because the IFO parser starts the counter always to zero regarding audio streams #. I can revert to the previous state but you'll have no more language detection. So, you can remap (i.e 0x81 to 0x80, etc...) your audio streams with vob tools (even DVDDecrypter is able to do that). So, what do you prefer ? It's up to you.

And a vob sample for testing could be great for me...:)

I prefer the actual state, I'll just keep all audio streams so there is always a 0x80 stream present.

BUT we could use IFO parser to get the only languages for audio streams (english, german, spanish,...) AND use the other method to get the real audio stream #. Maybe thats just too complex.

How can I reduce the size of my vob to send it to you??

Thanks for analysing this issue.:thanks:

[Zelos]

hello all,

i updated to the last megui core.
When i open an avs job , the preview window opening.
if i close it, then after some seconds (10s) megui closed.
if i remove some lines about my script then it works.
the script is correct , i use it on virtualdub , megui also (if i don't close the preview window).

here is it

directshowsource("f:\test.mp4")
blockbuster("noise")
blockbuster("sharpen",detail_mini=20,detail_max=90,strength=30)
gradfundb(2.5)
limitedsharpenfaster()

when i remove limitedsharpen , megui don't crush.

[Sharktooth]

use the setmemorymax function to limit the memory used by avisynth.
if that doesnt work, avoid using limitedsharpen.

[Sharktooth]

And a vob sample for testing could be great for me...:)
Maybe today i woke up stupid... but, does the problem exists only if you dont rip all the audio tracks?
if only one track is found we can remap the id...

[Kurtnoise]

yes, the problem remains even if you rip only one track (you can have only one track with ID 0x86 or 0x8A or whatever...). You have the same issue with vStrip. Some softwares like DVDShrink doesn't remap the track ID when we skip some tracks. I'll try to find a workaround...

[rack04]

Since vsfilter was included in the latest update does that mean that in later builds we'll have the option to "burn in" subtitles?

[Sharktooth]

yes. definatly.

Hi

I'm using megui to convert tv recordings to h.264 with aac audio (Nero).

It looks like megui has problems when the audio switches from multichannel to stereo (and the other way arround). It encodes only the part till it changes and replaces the other part with silence.

This is a huge problem for me because the tv stations broadcast the movie in 5.1 and change to 2.0 during commercials (and a few msecs before them). When I select "decode with DShow" (I use ffdshow + liba52) it sometimes works but then about one third of the encodings stop with an error right at the beginning although I can play the source files with MPC just fine.

I've included an example log:

When I use "decode with DShow" I get an error, when I deselect it I get an ~2MB file with silence but no error.:confused:

Sorry for my bad english :(

[Riki]

Im sorry if this has been answered before, but I just wanted to know if its possible to use the one click feature with an mp4 or avi file? It seems to only allow mpeg2 stuff instead of all the other formats. Please say its possible :) Ive tried many things and it doesnt seem to help.

If it is impossible now, is there a way to encode a single mp4 file into a new mp4 file and also encode/mux the audio. It would be great to have all this done at once, instead of having to combine the audio later and so on.

Thanks!

- Riki

[Sharktooth]

yes, it is possible.
run the avisynth script creator and load the mp4 file.
remove the ",audio=false" from the directshowsource line and save the avs.
when you're back to the main window, load the avs in both video (should be automatic) and audio inputs, select the presets for both and click autoencode. go on...

[createcoms]

I've got a problem. I'm trying to rip a tv series disc but no matter what I try it still ends up with comb jaggies. DGIndex shows the episodes as switching between Progressive and Interlace - and there's the grain effect in the image so I guess it's Telecine. MeGUI analyses it and seems to pick up on the film/interlace hybrid nature but despite this it's not turning out right - that being the interlaced parts are still jagged. I've tried various settings to do with both the deinterlacing selection and also overriding the setting the analysis chooses to the other options (tried the partially xxx and hybrid ones). Ideas?

[clampchi]

can anyone help me on this one? I have no idea what went wrong....

This occurs every time I do any of the following:
Input avs and close preview windows,I get the following error message:

First of all Happy New Year to all MeGUI developpers.
MeGUI is really a great tool, and I am now using all its tools instead of using several GUIs (DGIndex + besweetGUI + GKnot).
I hope this year we will see a lot of new features (Compressibility check and/or quality indicator, subtitles tools, HD streams integration, ...)

Now let's go back to the troubleshootings :
In version 0.3.1.1005, the "Reset" button doesn't seem to do anything (audio & video fields are not blanked anymore like in previous version).
Also about this "Reset" button : I suggest to also remove the audio track tabs and just let "Track 1" tab.

Is it safe to use Avisynth 2.58 with MeGUI, or is it better still using 2.57?...

[Kurtnoise]

can anyone help me on this one? I have no idea what went wrong....

uninstall avisynth (and remove all avisynth stuff in your computer) and retry a clean install from the official package...


Is it safe to use Avisynth 2.58 with MeGUI
yes, and it's encouraged...:)

[Lenchik]

Hope this is right thread to ask...

Long description:
There is an option named "I-frame boost (10x %)" in MeGUI xvid settings' advanced tab. It refers to -kboost option of xvid_encraw. When option in MeGUI is set 100 then commandline uses "-kboost 100", when option in MeGUI is set 10 then commandline has no -kboost because its default value is 10.
On the other hand XviD VfW interface in 2-pass settings has option named "I-frame boost (%)" which deafault seems to be 10.
What number in this option must be set to obtain equal results (settings for encoder) if other optons are equal? I want to know corresponding numbers in options in XviD VfW and MeGUI+xvid_encraw.

In other words short question will be:
Is number set to -kboost (and MeGUI "I-frame boost (10x %)" option) equal XviD VfW setting "I-frame boost (%)"?

And second question is: why in one place i-frame boost is set in "10x %" and in other place in just "%"?

100 in MeGUI equals 10 in VfW?

[Buggle]

I am experiencing errors when trying to transcode DGIndex produced AC3 files to any other format. Since this happened for the first time using MeGUI and with both AC3 files from that disc, I tend to assume there is something odd about the AC3 files themselves. Thing is, they come from a dvd that I decrypted in full to the harddisk, then used Nero Recode to get the main movie out to save some diskspace. I have now used Nero Recode to encode the movies, which functions fine. My conclusion: the tool that MeGUI uses [to transcode AC3] has problems reading a file that is perfectly readable. (Update: BeSweet via BeLight can also decode the files fine). I am using the latest version of everything (autoupdate to development builds).

Just to be complete and summarize: the two AC3 files are 192kbit 2.0 files, produced by DGIndex, coming from a Nero Recode rebuild dvd (no compression whatsoever). I tend to use DSII downmuxing as a standard setting, I hope this is automatically ignored when the input is 2.0 audio?

Update2:
After transcoding the AC3 to WAV (by BeSweet), the WAV as source in MeGUI also causes errors, regardless of the codec used. So the problem actually lies with MeGUI or one of the tools that is used.

Update3:
Nevermind, I solved the problem by reinstalling MeGUI and update subsequently. It now encodes the files.

you better ask in the avisynth forum, since that is a particular source and probably there's no automated way to deinterlace/ivtc it.

Hello,

I've got a problem with vorbis audio encoding. The final file is very noisy, I can't understand anything.
To solve the problem I've to remove the fonction "Improve accuracy using 32bit & float computations".

Before the last update every thing was OK.

Can you have a look to this problem?

Tank's a lot.

[Sharktooth]

thats due to the new 32bit processing.


EDIT: ill update the vorbis encoder...
EDIT2: even with the updated encoder there's noise in the output.

[Vesdaris]

Hey=)
Ive encountered today an error when trying to convert AC3 to any ther format(check out the log)
ANy ideas whats wrong?
Everything worked fine several days ago.

PS tried renaming the source file so there are not spaces but still doesnt work.
Also made a search through the forums but havent found a solution

[SacredCultivator]

Same problem.. And I tried reinstalling and that didn't fix my problem either.. Can't encode a .wav into other formats ><

[tebasuna51]

ANy ideas whats wrong?
Everything worked fine several days ago.


Seems a problem with the new 32 bits treatment, the Lame encoder don't accept 32 bits FLOAT but support 16, 24 and 32 INT.

MeGUI needs an avs line like:
32==Audiobits(last)?ConvertAudioTo32bit(last):last

Used 32==Audiobits(last) for AviShith 2.57 compatibility, for 2.58 we can use:
IsAudioFloat()

[SacredCultivator]

Oh... so that's the problem, well hopefully it can be fixed soon ^_^

[Sharktooth]

in the meanwhile you can uncheck the "Improve Accuracy using 32bit......." in the audio preset config window.

[SacredCultivator]

^Doesn't work for me... Unchecked it and still getting error.

[tebasuna51]

^Doesn't work for me... Unchecked it and still getting error.
Yes, the problem is the same.

Without 32 bit precission the avs script is:
NicAc3Source("D:\6a321.ac3")
6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereo(ConvertAudioToFloat(last)):last

With 32 bit precission the avs script is:
NicAc3Source("D:\6a321.ac3")
ConvertAudioToFloat()
6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereo(ConvertAudioToFloat(last)):last

Don't exist difference because the output of NicAudio decoders is always 32 bits float

The script must be:
NicAc3Source("D:\6a321.ac3")
6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereo(last):last
32==Audiobits(last)?ConvertAudioTo32bit(last):last

[tebasuna51]

thats due to the new 32bit processing.


EDIT: ill update the vorbis encoder...
EDIT2: even with the updated encoder there's noise in the output.

The ogg problem is in parameters command line:
-Q --raw --raw-bits=32 --raw-chan=6 --raw-rate=48000 --quality 1.0
dont exist the parameter:
--raw-format=n Set format for raw input.
Default is 1 for Standard PCM;
use 3 for IEEE Float.

And is read as 32 bit int. We need --raw-format=3

due to the fact that the output bits per sample is not always 32 (ex with 16bits stereo wav files, we need the --raw-format=1) *and* we can't retrieve this before command line creation, I decided to enable the "SendWavHeaderToEncoderStdIn" and remove all raw mode switches. It seems that with the pipeline it works with all cases now...

Good idea, but please use this oggenc2 builds (edited)
and the command line with the parameter --ignorelength to avoid problems with headers for >4GB, more frequent with 32 bitdepth.

Edit: your last oggenc2.exe have already the --ignorelength parameter.
Edit2: where do yo find your oggenc2 builds? Isn't the John33 builds from rarewares.
Edit3: sorry is from rarewares but the P3/AMD version:
OggEnc v2.85 (libvorbis 1.2.1 RC2 [aoTuVb5.61])
The --ignorelength is a change in vorbis-tools 1.3.0 beta 1 (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=65975#)
Seems we still need remapping the channels then the vorbis-tools 1.3.0 beta 1 isn't fully applied to oggenc2
"* oggenc: fixed remapping channels bug (#1326)"

[Kurtnoise]

done...;)

btw, the vorbis encoder from the auto-update contains the --ignorelength switch. So, it's fine.

I have a problem with the OneClick encoder (and also AutoEncode) at the muxing step. After video encoding finish, I have a popup saying something about audio track index being out of bound and when I click OK, it starts muxing but not with all the audio tracks.

In my One Click settings, I choose

Track 1 : 0x81
Track 2 : 0x80

and the muxing log looks like :

All the files are here, but the muxing command line should be "-a 1" instead of "-a 0" for the second track. I assume it is linked to the strange popup message I received before.

Sorry...I **** up once again. :o It'll be fixed in the next release.

If you need a build, I can upload it if you want.


@Tebasuna: what you mean ? --ignorelengh doesn't work properly w/ the current encoder ?

[tebasuna51]

@Tebasuna: what you mean ? --ignorelengh doesn't work properly w/ the current encoder ?

Seems work fine, but in same accepted feature request was the correct channelmapping.

And seems John33 still don't aply these part because encoding a wav file with standard PCM header produce distinct result than encoding the same wav with WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE header (curious bug in 2009).

We need wait to a full version to delete the remap with GetChannel(), or send WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE header.

i have error message: MEGui encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Value of '0' is not valid for 'Value'.

can anyone please help me with this error msg?

how do you set the Display aspect ratio to 16/9? Also i want to know which profile is the best for blu-ray movies?


Thank you.

[alexcel]

yes, the problem remains even if you rip only one track (you can have only one track with ID 0x86 or 0x8A or whatever...). You have the same issue with vStrip. Some softwares like DVDShrink doesn't remap the track ID when we skip some tracks. I'll try to find a workaround...

I'd be very glad to know if there are any progress on this topic...Any workaround on sight? :)

did you run the autoupdate and updated everything?

[ricky man]

i have this error . i dont know what does this mean? and how can i fix this error?

Your AviSynt script clip has the following problem:

Aviscript clip doesnot have mod16 dimensions:
Width:1920
Height:1080

[Sharktooth]

when does that happen? what encoder are you using?

[ricky man]

when does that happen? what encoder are you using?

i am using x264 or Megui.

i load the mkv file. then i set the bitrate and the size of the file. then i click on the queue. then the error pops up.

this is the pic of the two error that i have .

[Sharktooth]

use the avisynth script creator (under the tools menu) to load the file.
if yuo need to encode the audio too, then be sure to remove ,audio=false from the directshowsource line, then load the .avs in the audio input too.

[Paddy97]

did you run the autoupdate and updated everything?

Since your question led me to start to distrust my MeGui install I started fresh from sourceforge and now it works. Thanks! My old MeGUI directory must have contained something old that was not up to par.

[clumba]

I'm trying to encode The Mask.BDRip.1080p.x264-CtrlHD.mkv from 1080p to 720p. Select HQ-Balanced profile, set bitrate to ~5600, click Enqueque -> get 2 pass encode.

But when job is done i get file with bitrate ~200kbps! :scared:

Resolution is correct, btw.

What is wrong?

P.S. All file with latest version.

P.P.S. Sorry for my english.

[pcjco04]

Version 0.3.1.1008 now mux correctly both audio tracks chosen in OneClickEncoder.

Is it normal that the audio track order is not kept ?

If I choose Track1=0x81 and Track2=0x80 it will always encode first 0x80 then 0x81 and same in muxing CLI so the first track of the final muxed file will be 0x80 (Track2).

[[DB-FR] Nikko]

Hi everyone,
I dont understand why it is possible to produce raw h264 file but not raw aac file ?
Indeed we can just choose mp4 or m4a, is it possible to add raw aac ?
cheers,
Nikko

EDIT : Ok I saw Nero AAC doesn't permit raw output but only in MP4 format...

[shroomM]

Hey,

first of all... great tool!

But I'm having some problems getting audio encoding to work...

If I input a 5.1 448kbps AC3, choose the ffmpeg MP2 encoder and choose to downmix the channels to stereo, the encoding fails.

At first, MeGUI says it's Preprocessing... the audio. This goes on for a couple of minutes, then I see this error in the log...

Is this also because of the latest changes (32bit processing)?

Here are the things I've already tried...
the same error occurs when I check Improve Accuracy using 32bit & Float computation (in the above example, the option was unchecked)
tried LAME MP3, got the same error
tried a different AC3 file. Both were demuxed using the built-in DGIndex.

The error remains. But encoding using Aften AC3 worked, suprisingly....

I just tried using the Forced decoding via DirectShow and the conversion works (both, Improve accuracy... on or off) :confused:

Any idea why it doesn't work with NicAc3Source? I'd prefer using that, not DirectShow, although DirectShow processing seems faster? :confused:

I'm using the latest version of MeGUI (0.3.1.1008) and Avisynth (2.5.8), both reinstalled from scratch 10 minutes ago. All the files in MeGUI updated to the latest version using the built-in updater.

My OS is a 32bit Vista SP1 (Intel Core2Quad Q9300 @ 2.50GHz), but the error also occurs on an XP machine.

[clumba]

If I input a 5.1 448kbps AC3, choose the ffmpeg MP2 encoder and choose to downmix the channels to stereo, the encoding fails.

Usually i do AC3 -> WAV (BeSweet + BeLight) -> input in MeGUI and select needed codec.

MeGUI often can't correctly decompress some codecs like AC3.

Version 0.3.1.1008 now mux correctly both audio tracks chosen in OneClickEncoder.

If I choose Track1=0x81 and Track2=0x80 it will always encode first 0x80 then 0x81 and same in muxing CLI so the first track of the final muxed file will be 0x80 (Track2).
the tracks get sorted by id.

[clumba]

That is an illegally obtained file.

But problem in MeGUI, not in "illegal" file!

[createcoms]

To MeGUI developers,

I experienced a slight (1-3FPS) increase in encoding speed when I added "threads=4" to the Colormatrix line that MeGUI adds when the "Colour Correction" checkbox is ticked.

I guess setting it to 0 would do the same thing since that puts it into core detection mode. The default is 1 core mode from what I've read.

I've got a Phenom 9850 BE soon to be a Phenom II 940 BE.

cheers

Usually i do AC3 -> WAV (BeSweet + BeLight) -> input in MeGUI and select needed codec.

MeGUI often can't correctly decompress some codecs like AC3.

The Ac3 decoder used in MeGUI/AviSynth is NicAudio. With BeSweet/BeLight the decoder used is Azid.

Please put a sample about your problems at NicAudio thread.

I'm running the latest MeGUI under XP SP2 and all is great. No crashes.

I don't trust SP3, as it is supposed to have some of the Vista crap placed into XP and I won't touch Vista. Don't know if it is urban legend or not, but SP2 is working for me. Don't need any security enhancements, as the box is not directly attached to the internet, i.e., no one can probe it and try and leave crap on it and it isn't used for browsing the net.

Specs: Windows XP SP3
Megui 0.3.1.1009

Thank-you
Yep, that's a bug, ticking "Deinterlace" checkbox without first selecting source as interlaced will cause the exception. Workaround is to first select "Source Type:" as the appropriate interlaced option from the list given (or let megui run analysis before selecting "Deinterlace")

It looks like you selected the deinterlace checkbox while megui was running the analysis, bad idea to change settings while it's working.

[Prim3]

Yeah but I noticed that it says "Analyzing..." and it doesn't do anything for a while. Is it supposed to take that long?

I will try again. Thank-you!

thanks

[Sharktooth]

whitout any other information that screenshot is useless.
when does it happen?

[Sharktooth]

Yeah but I noticed that it says "Analyzing..." and it doesn't do anything for a while. Is it supposed to take that long?

I will try again. Thank-you!
yes. it will take some time.

[Prim3]

Sorry. It happens when I click "preview avs script"

some time as in...? Cuz it took a long time and it didnt even move. Then I just closed it.

Thanks

[Sharktooth]

is the analyzing bar progressing?

fixed in the next build.

Can someone tell me why the video is streched when it finds 16:9 format? I mean the picture doesn't fit and looks like crap.

[zora]

I always get the error
"unknown style found: "Copy of DefaultSE" changed to "Default"!"
after selecting an avisynth script. In the encoding process it too pops up. It is so annoying. does anyone know a fix for this?

Edit: Here is a pic
http://i40.tinypic.com/1628r6f.jpg
after I click cancel it still pops up
Does someone know a solution for this?
Even a fresh installation of megui doesn't solve this.
I've tried everything.

Do you have virtual memory enabled? Mine was disabled and I was getting some crashes with megui. Now, I have enabled it and none till now.

[Tae]

Just FYI on interface problem in Vista 64. I know you don't support it, but I have lost Gui buttons in the past but was able to get around it. This one is a killer...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/tkilmer/meguiinterfaceerror.jpg

I lost the Avisynth save button before, but was about to work around. Have not had the Aspect ratio button either. Not sure why this is happening, just thought you should know. I went back to core 0.3.0.3004 to get the DV2 Creator fixed, so it was lost with a change since then.

Hello.

I ripped Transformer Blu-Ray and encoded it to 1080p no problem.

But then I decided I wanted it to be 720p to save some space on HD. I was too lazy to re rip the Blu-Ray, so I decided to use the 1080p source, but something very weird happened. Instead of desire 4000 bitrate, it came up with 300 average bitrate at end!

I used x264: Standalone-Blu-ray, the only thing I changed was the bitrate from 8000 to 4000.

I'm thinking that its x264 bug or what?

Thanks for help.

PS Just noticed there's new version of x264, will download it and try 1st pass of 2nd pass and see what's output's stats is.

[Seraphic-]

In the Nero ACC configuration, is "improve accuracy using 32 bit & flow computations" recommended to be enabled or disabled?
Is turning it on or off based on the encoder configuration used and file input?
(I.E - LC vs HE and 128 kbit/s vs 256 kbit/s or 16bps vs 24bps with 44.1kHz vs 48kHz).
Or should it remain enabled regardless? Thanks.

[SacredCultivator]

Hmm for some reason when I encode audio to .mp4 using FAAC, the audio comes out very "static-y/noisey", in the past this never happened, and now I am useing Nero as the alternative.

Anyone know why this happens? And when using the Nero encoder, how does the VBR work? As it is b decimal, ex. .5, if on the FAAC I used 90, would that be equivalent to .9? NOt too sure.

Thanks.

OH MY GOODNESS.

It was ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater's fault!!! I was using it to watch my ripped Blu-Ray, but it wasn't until 3 or 4 days after I started to using MeGUI again. Look like ArcSoft's codec was having some conflict with ffdshow. After uninstalling ArcSoft program, the bitrate came out right!

Downside, I probably would have to find new Blu-Ray player on my computer. :mad:

Hope this help some people out there.

Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem (v0.3.1.1009).
BTW, NeroAacEnc is now better encoder than Faac, use always Nero.
And when using the Nero encoder, how does the VBR work? As it is b decimal, ex. .5, if on the FAAC I used 90, would that be equivalent to .9?
Nope.
I recommend you use this ranges:
<.31 -> to play with low quality audio equipment.
.31-.35 ->to transcode ac3/dts with minimal lose of quality
.36-.5 ->to compress lossless sources, good quality
>.5 ->to compress lossless sources until insane quality

[SacredCultivator]

^Thanks.

So then I don't know if it's comparable, but let's say if for .mp3 I use 128kbps (CBR) what would be the rough equivalent in VBR for nero? and same for if it were 192kbps?

Thanks again.

hi,

i try to downmix a 6ch ac3 track to stereo aac and i get a 3ch aac!

L.E. Actually the source is 3ch ac3!

Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Codec ID : A_AC3
Duration : 1h 36mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 640 Kbps
Channel(s) : 3 channels
Channel positions : L C R
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
_

L.E.2 any sugestions how to downmix 3ch to stereo?
_

[Kurtnoise]

you can't do that with MeGUI...

[Snowknight26]

Selecting a FLAC track in the bitrate calculator causes a fatal error of Value cannot be null. Funny thing is though, it fills in the bitrate field because the mediainfo wrapper supports FLACs.

How about that DTS bitrate issue, too?

[tebasuna51]

So then I don't know if it's comparable, but let's say if for .mp3 I use 128kbps (CBR) what would be the rough equivalent in VBR for nero? and same for if it were 192kbps?

Please :search:
There are many comparatives between audio codecs and in this thread is off topic.

Maybe 0.3 and 0.5

You can create an sample.avs file (using Notepad) with this line:
NicAc3Source("F:\x264\Vicky_Cristina_Barcelona_688p_ac3.ac3", 2).Normalize()
and open the sample.avs in MeGUI (Audio Input) instead the .ac3

NicAudio can downmix 3-6 channels to 2 channels internally.

[b66pak]

@tebasuna51 thanks a lot...

@Kurtnoise13 handling exceptions and errors is a VERY important part of a program! if megui cant handle anything but 6ch>>2ch a warning must be done to prevent losing time and unwanted results...

[Kurtnoise]

There are errors/exceptions handling. Just tell me why should I raise errors notify when all is fine...

[Kurtnoise]

tell me how you open flac files in bitrate calculator. This kind of file is not allowed. Embedded in Ogg container ?

How about that DTS bitrate issue, too?
should be ok in the next release...

[Snowknight26]

tell me how you open flac files in bitrate calculator. This kind of file is not allowed. Embedded in Ogg container ?

Type * in the file name textbox, select .flac file. If it's not allowed, it shouldn't fill in the bitrate field afterwards. ;)

[Kurtnoise]

Type * in the file name textbox,
which one ? I'm lost...

[Snowknight26]

In the standard Windows Open File Dialog when you click Select audio in the bitrate calculator.

[tomos]

this is for windows 7,

MEGUI works fine, as does x264 - but was wondering about UAC. why does MEGUI trigger it? my problem is, i turned UAC off in win 7 for megui and doing so disabled the sidebar

[ankurs]

well i've been trying to make and open a d2v after megui got updated and seemingly its giving me a wierd error !

i just made the d2v again and still to no avail , also agony is vdub crashes as well no matter what ever versions i tried already without any reason ..

also i've already uninstalled and reinstalled avisynth to the latest RC version , also , what is more wierd is that the same d2v is working fine in gknot !

http://i43.tinypic.com/5kk294.jpg

any help ?

xp sp3 upto the latest update and .net fw it is !

[b66pak]

There are errors/exceptions handling. Just tell me why should I raise errors notify when all is fine...

as you can see in the log i selected "downmix multichannel to stereo" and i get a 3 channel audio which is far from fine...so it was better to get a warning about this...or you can change "downmix multichannel to stereo" to "downmix 5.1 to stereo" to avoid any confusions...
_

[ankurs]

now its confirmed , the error i'm facing is happening on my other pc as well after updating megui .. probably some screw up in the update package ?

everything worked fine on both pc's before updating , i checked the same d2v before updating on the pc and it worked fine and now after updating its giving me the same error .. devs ?

[b66pak]

sometimes after encoding in a .mp4 container i get "bad public atom error" from QT...megui and its components is up to date (0.3.1.1009)...here is the log:

as you can see first i encoded the audio to .m4a ...second i encoded the video to .mp4 and finally do the mux.

my_audio.m4a play fine with QT
my_video.mp4 "bad public atom error" with QT
my_video-muxed.mp4 "bad public atom error" with QT

first i think it was a mp4box muxing error so i remuxed my_audio.m4a and my_video.mp4 with an older version but the result was the same...

i think the x264 encoder broke the atom and the mp4box forward it to the final mux...

the solution is to demux to raw and remux again...

as you can see in the log i selected "downmix multichannel to stereo" and i get a 3 channel audio which is far from fine...so it was better to get a warning about this...or you can change "downmix multichannel to stereo" to "downmix 5.1 to stereo" to avoid any confusions...
_
from the log...

6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereoad747990273e4b049a3a6e8c0750cc10(ConvertAudioToFloat(last)):last

so for me, it's multichannel (6 or less).

[Kurtnoise]

now its confirmed , the error i'm facing is happening on my other pc as well after updating megui .. probably some screw up in the update package ?

everything worked fine on both pc's before updating , i checked the same d2v before updating on the pc and it worked fine and now after updating its giving me the same error .. devs ?
looks like you have not dgdecode.dll in the right folder...

[Kurtnoise]

this is for windows 7,

MEGUI works fine, as does x264 - but was wondering about UAC. why does MEGUI trigger it?
it's required for packages installation (w/ or w/o the auto-updater...)

[ankurs]

looks like you have not dgdecode.dll in the right folder...

it is there in the plugins and IN ALL other folders it is supposed to be in , still the same problem :scared:

[Kurtnoise]

well...recreate your d2v file then with all tools updated.

[ankurs]

still doesnt work :s ..

what's more wierd is why is'nt vdub working ?

[Fishman0919]

I can't seem to get MeGUI to start on a new install of WIN XP sp3. Does MeGUI work with Win XP?

[xxx666yyy777]

I am trying to use the One-Click Encoder. However, after generating the .d2v file, I receive an error message that the dimensions specified in the rsulting .avs file are invalid. APparently (based on the log below) this is caused by the Autocrop functionality. Is there a way to disable Autocrop, when using the One-Click-Encoder?

Thx

Does MeGUI work with Win XP? Yes if you install .NET 2.0 or higher ;)

[Fishman0919]

Yes if you install .NET 2.0 or higher ;)

It is and completely updated.

I uninstalled MeGUI and rebooted, reinstalled and it worked fine... sorry. Should have tried that first. :o

[marioman]

Hey I seem to be having an issue with MeGUI, I can't seem to start it for some strange reason. It says: "MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Font 'Tahoma' does not support style 'Regular'."

I've searched for about 2 hours trying to fix this but I cannot find even 1 instance on the net of this happening.

I am running Vista Ultimate x64 if that matters.

[starmanj]

Latest Megui has a problem with one-click. When I drag a .vob to encode, it names the file after the .vob's parent directory by default. So naturally other files have a filename conflict, as they are all called the same filename. The obvious default filename should be named after the *original file*, right? With the new container's suffix.

BUG?

[Snowknight26]

DTS bitrate issue is still there even though it's supposedly been fixed.

[alexcel]

Hi:

I am having trouble again trying to process files with one click encoder.

I am trying to avoid cropping, so I've generated an One click profile that uses an avisynth profile where I removed the <crop> line. I was just supposing that this way One Click Encoder would not crop video, and what happens is that video is not cropped, but it is incorrectly AR signalled as if it were cropped.

In the log, you'll see:

original 720x576, ar 1,818
Autocrop: top 70, bottom 70
output res: 720x432, darx=224, dary=93 (ar=2,408)
sar passed on to x264=896/465=1,927
frame size=720x576 (it is not autocropped)

Second, although I am now keeping all original audio tracks so there are not differences in the audio stream number in the .vob and the .ifo file, if the audio stream is not the first one, the d2v step extracts correctly the audio, but then one click fails to find it and no muxing occurs

Log:
---[Warning] OneClick postprocessor
----[Warning] Couldn't find audio file for track ::3::. Skipping track.

Track T83 3_2ch 384Kbps DELAY -16ms.ac3 is created and It is present in the movie folder (it is the working folder)

Thanks for the help :thanks:

i installed vista x64, CCCP or vista Codec x64, FFDshow x64 and MeGui. when i just to encode m2ts file. It tell me that Directshow tell me that " Unable to render" or Please installed the correct filter or codec.

can anyone please help me to fix this problem?

[flebber]

An observation, when using the avs svript creator in megui and choose input file, flv files do not show as supported files. However, I changed the setting to all files and imported an flv file into megui and it worked fine audio and video encoded and muxed fine.

So why isn;t flv a supported file if megui does it with ease?

[CHerron]

Hi,

For quite a while instead of using megui to get the sar ive added it to the custom command line in x264 config.

This has worked fine until the last few versions. i've noticed that megui is adding a second --sar 1:1 to the command line as well as my --sar 64/45.

This of course is overriding my custom sar.

Is there anyway to stop megui from auto adding an sar to the command line?

Thanx

[Sharktooth]

what preset are you using?
however, it may seems obvious but check and ensure there is no --sar 1:1 specified in the custom commandline options.

[mojibake]

Hello

I have been reading the forum for a few months now and this is my first post. Hope it is in the right place (it doesn't just relate to MeGUI).

OK. So I have read guides on doom9, Afterdawn and Videohelp about using MeGUI to encode to H264 (including the wiki) plus general articles on square pixels, aspect ratios and 'Video Basics' at these two great sites...

http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/
http://lurkertech.com/

The problem is I think I have just read too much too soon and completely confused myself.

This refers to encoding h264 in MeGUI

Question 1) If I want maintain the original resolution of a 4:3 DVD source with non-square pixels should I use the clever anamorphic setting but select 4:3? My assumption is that the image still needs to be stretched vertically to make 4:3 image. 720x576 becomes 768x576.

Question 2) How can I quickly determine the aspect ratio of a DVD image (after cropping) and does this matter?

At the moment I would capture a frame of a vob/mpg, open this in an image editor, crop any black borders then read the dimension properties. I divide these pixels to find the AR of the image. Can this method be trusted, what if the player is adjusting the image incorrectly? Can this analysis be done in MeGUI with AVS script creator? If it can this would be much quicker! How about something like AVsP

The reason I ask is because people often say check the OAR on Imdb or the DVD case but how do we know a DVD has been given the right AR (image only)? it may be slightly off with too much black bars etc? What if a silent film was originally 1.20 or you have a pre 1953 film with a AR of 1.37? I would like to know whether the DVD has simply been mastered to 1.33 or correct borders have been applied. This is also true for tricky ARs like 1.66 which DVD publishers often seem to get wrong.

For example if I load a d2v file into AVS Script Creator within MeGUI and select clever anamorphic and crop to the edges is there a way I can read the AR of that actual framing and adjust accordingly so that it is maintained? Maybe I would need to add borders myself or crop a little for mod16 dimensions but I want to maintain that framing.

For example

If you select the input DAR as 4:3 (ITU....) select anamorphic and crop the image the resulting darx / dary should give you 1.33333. If it doesn't it means the image was not mastered to ITU added border spec. Yes?

From here I can either manually input a DAR of 1.3333 but I can only do this if I know my above cropping equals 1.3333 if it is any other figure I am going to change the AR from the DVD image or is this wrong?

My point is that if a DVD gets the AR / border slightly wrong we still have to assume the picture dimensions are correct (face shape) even if the cropping isn't and by 'correcting' it we are skewing the dar dimensions.

Am I simply worryring about nothing?

Thanks for your time.

[mojibake]

I have thought about this some more and realised I could work out the image AR after cropping by taking into account how many pixels have been cropped. I noticed some of the auto help pop-ups in gspot spoke about SAR, PAR and DAR.

So, if I had a 4:3 MPEG-2 PS with a resolution of 720x576 I can work out what Gspot calls the SAR or Storage Aspect Ratio.

720/576 = 1.25:1

We know the DVDs Display Aspect Ratio (DAR) without cropping is going to be 4:3 or 1.33:1

Gspot says SAR x PAR [Pixel Aspect Ratio] = DAR

For an MPEG-2 PS it just gave me a PAR of 16/15 or 1.067:1 but this could have been worked out by dividing DAR by SAR though you wouldn't get the nice equation. With this I can work out the DAR after cropping. I crop the image in AVS Script Creator. I see I have taken 2px left, 10px top, 2px right and 10px to the bottom. If this is subtracted from the original resolution I get 716x556. Using the equation...

SAR x PAR = DAR

(716/556) x (16/15) = 1.373

This tells me the image on the DVD has been maintained to the films original ratio of 1.37:1

So if this is correct how come http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/#conversion_table gives the PAR for 720*576 video as 128/117?

Still confused but I think I am making progress.

Also can I simply put 1.373 into the AVS Script creator DAR field or is it recommeneded to manually add the SAR too? Where do you add this? To the AVS or to a script for x264?

Hope someone can help

Thanks

[Kurtnoise]

can I simply put 1.373 into the AVS Script creator DAR field or is it recommeneded to manually add the SAR too? Where do you add this? To the AVS or to a script for x264?
all SAR/PAR calculation is done by megui in internal...No need to specify anything in the encoder settings. but don't forget to check "Clever anamorphic encoding". The DAR from your source should be found automatically.

[Kurtnoise]

An observation, when using the avs svript creator in megui and choose input file, flv files do not show as supported files. However, I changed the setting to all files and imported an flv file into megui and it worked fine audio and video encoded and muxed fine.

So why isn;t flv a supported file if megui does it with ease?
because flv is not listed in the "supported files" list...:)

[mojibake]

Thanks for the reply.

Do you mean don't bother changing the ITU 4:3 selection or that once I have worked out the DAR after cropping and put it in the box MeGUI will work out the rest? i.e work out the PAR from the DAR I have input and the aspect ratio of the original resolution.

Is this guide wrong?...

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd_to_avc_megui_part_2_page_2.cfm

"The Input DAR will tell you whether the video is a PAL or NTSC source, as well as whether it's fullscreen (4:3) or widescreen (16:9). You may notice that the decimal notation for the aspect ratio doesn't match either fullscreen or widescreen (such as 1.822784 for NTSC 16:9 instead of 1.78). This reflects the area of the frame that's visible on your TV, with the extra left and right borders cropped to match the ITU-Rec.601 standard.

If you prefer to set the AR to exactly 16:9 or 4:3 you can do that by using the Select AR... option, which will open the Custom AR dialog so you can set the value manually. For an AR of 4:3 use 1.333. For 16:9 it would be 1.778 instead.

About Aspect Ratios
Although MeGUI's AR figures reflect the correct calculations using the official ITU recommendation DVDs are all supposed to follow, there's no guarantee that this will be the case. In fact all the widescreen (NTSC) DVD's I've encoded needed this set to a custom AR of 1.778 in order to achieve the correct AR (as listed on the DVD case) after cropping. Fullscreen DVDs, such as TV shows, seem to be less consistent, with some strictly following the same ITU figures MeGUI does and others assuming the entire frame to be part of the 4:3 image. In the final section of the guide on The Edit Tab we'll look at how to doublecheck the output AR."

Later in the guide it says if you divide darx / dary this gives the final DAR? If this is wrong why shouldn't you change it?

Also is it correct to assume that when anamorphic is selected it will never change the PAR and when it isn't any resize will change the PAR to 1:1?

What are the rules for when MeGUI will and won't change PAR.

Thanks again

[mojibake]

Hello again. I did some tests and understand that the DAR input is the DAR before cropping. I never got that! Sorry.

I did a hypothetical crop of a 4:3 image to 650x576 which should give a AR of 1.20:1 (I wasn't worrying about mod16 at this point).

When I kept the input as 4:3 (ITU) it gave a final DAR of 1.23:1
When I gave the input as 1.33 it gave a final DAR of 1.20:1

So why not put the input in as 1.33 rather than 4:3 (ITU)?

I need to read up on why this ITU input was made.

EDIT:

OK. I did a bit more reading and have worked out why the ITU ratio is used.

I'll write it hear in case anyone who is confused like I was (still am) needs it explained.

look here http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/#conversion_table

the 'active' picture area of a 720x576 is officially supposed to be 702x576. If you use the equation I wrote in a previous post but treat 702x576 as the starting point and 720x576 as the target the result is the ITU ratio seen in meGUI.

DAR / 'Active' SAR = PAR (4/3) / (702/576) = 1.094017

'resolution' SAR x PAR = DAR (720/576) x 1.094071 = 1.36752125 rather than 1.333

if you do the same but for 16/9 you get 1.823361 rather than 1.777778

Can someone please confirm for me that you can get a DVD with an active picture area of 720x576 and these are the DVDs that do not need the ITU ratio as the image fills up to the edge using 720px rather than 702px. I always thought (ever since reading the referenced article) that all 720x576 digital video had an active area of 702. Even though I always understood px as being visual I just assumed you saw 720 listed because of some strange science/maths and there were only 702px maybe caused by non square px and anamorphic stretch which I didn't understand.

If this is true I might write something about it as all the guides brush over it.

[b66pak]

i order to avoid the random (rare) .mp4 "bad public atom error" i tried to encode to raw .h264 but after i select "autoencode" and add the audio and select the .mp4 container the queue is like:

video>.mp4
video.mp4+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4

it should be like:

video>.264
video.264+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4


do you plan to fix this?
_

[MrVideo]

(lots of text removed, read the above0

OK, I personally think are over thinking this.

Yes, the active picture area of 720x480, or 720x576, is 704 (not 702).

When creating a MKV H.264 video file, with whatever audio you want, you want to use these settings:

For anamorphic widescreen: NTSC 16:9 or PAL 16:9
For 4:3: NTSC 4:3 or PAL 4:3
Crop to 704x480 or 704x576
Clever anamorphic widescreen checked. if anamorphic 16:9 source

Next page:
Interlaced
Top field
deinterlace

It actually doesn't hurt to leave the file at 720, without cropping. It is only 8 pixels on each side. That equates to 12 pixels on each side for display on a 1280 wide display. Yes, it does mean a minor error in the 16:9 display, but it is extremely minor.

Don't get caught up in figuring out aspect ratios, especially non-square pixel ratios. It isn't worth it. Analog TVs haven't delivered perfect 4:3 since they day the first electron beam scanned a round tube. You are never going to achieve perfect 16:9 from 4:3 source material. Don't try. No one will even notice.

[mojibake]

@Mr Video.

Hi. Thanks for your advice. I take it on board.

I understand my thinking was more academic than practical I just wanted to know 'why' rather than shrugging my shoulders and ticking the box. I have a better understanding now so all is good.

:thanks:

[MrVideo]

I have a better understanding now so all is good.

You could almost make your head explode if you dig too deep into this. There is a lot of misconception regarding what the square area is of analog video, let alone what happens when converted to digital.

There is a very good website that deals in this and I think I have a link to it on my main webpage.

There are a lot of files that are built by the torrent people that are not true 16:9. They take a 16:9 HD TV show and make 640x352 files. Sorry, but true 16:9 is 640x360. They are making 1.82 files, instead of 1.78 files. Because the size of the file dimensions are so small, the error percentage is a lot higher. Of course they could crop some of the original image in order to keep the correct aspect ratio, but doing either is wrong, in my book.

Even though many tools will complain when encoding 640x360 H.264 files, MPEG-4 doesn't have the mod16 requirement, so true 16:9 files can be made. But, they don't. I make true 640x360 files of promos for my website all the time.

BTW, in case you ever try it, MeGUI won't let you take a true 16:9 HD file (1080i or 720p) and make an anamorphic widescreen 720x576 or 720x480 MKV file, with the smart anamorphic option set. Once you've set all the options, even though the resize value is wrong (you gotta set it wrong in order get the smart flag on). you manually edit the avisynth line before saving it for MeGUI processing. Make sure that you manually set the aspect ratio to 1.78 (it isn't 1.778 as sharktooth likes to set it, as the television industry uses 1.78). I don't know why 1.78 isn't automatically set when HD files are used.

By creating anamorphic widescreen files, you reduce the file size because you aren't creating 1024x576, or 853x480 files.

Any further questions, be sure to ask, as someone here will have an answer.

[Nightshiver]

Ugh, I seem to be having trouble with mencoder again. x264 is once again crashing even though I've used both of the most recently updates mencoders, which should have worked.

[ricky man]

i have error msg: Directshowsource: Renderfile, filter manager wont talk to me.

does anyone know what is that mean? and how can i fix this problem.

[Sharktooth]

means it's not a megui problem but a general directshow problem.
the directshow filter(s) used for the input file are "locked" to a certain application or just do not work.
how to fix: use graphedit/graphstudio to create a graph of the filters, identify the "broken" ones and de-register them (using regsvr32 /u filterfilename.ext) and eventually install an appropriate filter that replaces the functionality of the broken/proprietary one.

[Nightshiver]

This is pretty ridiculous. I've gone through the first 5 builds now with none of them working. I just re-formatted my hdd so this problem shouldn't even exist. Is there a way to get in touch with whoever is updating the mencoder builds?

[Kurtnoise]

that's pretty ridiculous how you try to make bugs reports...:rolleyes:

:stupid:

[Nightshiver]

And calling me stupid solves the problem? No one said I was trying to make a bug report. It's been like that for months, if you've checked on when I first stated I had this problem. You post is also useless in that it simply calls me "ridiculous" instead of useful information. That, is pretty ridiculous. And if I was making a bug report, what the hell else would I say? Seeing as how you don't have this problem, you don't realize how depressing it is to continually try different builds hoping that it will work only to see that it doesn't. It's also curious as to how I'm the only one (that I've seen) that has this problem. The standard error stream give's nothing informative. The most recent builds of mencoder should have worked, but I don't know why they haven't.

[Codex0nz]

Latest version of megui (1010) has changed preview in avs script :/ now you can't cycle through video as if its playing, and for some reason ive found it harder to spot things in it (eg i had to use another program to get a single frame of my source to discover it was field blended as when in preview on megui it just looked like it was just two blended frames (eg, 2 layers 50% opacity together)

Don't know whats changed or if it was on purpose but is there any way to change it back :S

[ricky man]

i want to know if MeGui can make DVD to 1080p or not? if not , what programs can make it?

[Sharktooth]

DVD standard does not support 1080p.

[MrVideo]

i want to know if MeGui can make DVD to 1080p or not? if not , what programs can make it?

DVDs are standard def only: NTSC or PAL, 4:3 or anamorphic widescreen 16:9.

You want anything higher than 480i/576i, you'll have to create Blu-ray, which handles 720p/1080i/1080p.

[MrVideo]

I'm not using huffy/pre-rendering right now.

When you just complain and say something doesn't work and to "fix it" is not helpful. It just tends to piss others off.

I use MeGUI out-of-the-box and have no problem making 720p and 1080i MKV files.

So, you need to list your operating system, and service paks. You need to provide examples of the command lines that MeGUI is using to do the encoding. You need to provide the avisynth script.

No one here has a crystal ball where they can see what you are doing. You have to provide details.

all x86 encoders provided by the megui updater should run out the box on x64...

Try to change your folder pathname into something more simple (i.e D:\DVD Completos Para Gravar\MainMovie\DVD_VOLUME)...

[Snowknight26]

Any word on the supposedly fixed DTS bitrate issue?

[Dreassica]

SOmehow Megui doesn't want to update the core anymore.
It tells me it successfully downloaded the update and it needs a restart.
But when it does, it still at teh old version and asks me to update again.

Remux avi to .mkv
Thanks Atak_Snajpera for a fast responce.

May I know how to do that with MeGUI? Or do I need any other software? Will there be any quality lost (Audio/Video) during remuxing process from avi to mkv?

[SacredCultivator]

Okay this might be a dumb question but for teh "Threads" would it be wise ot just set at "0 (Auto)" or to specify? Example being if I'm using a Core 2 Duo, I'd set it to "2" correct?
{Trying to maximize my FPS encoding on my videos's as the max I hit is at 4fps, H264 encoding at 1280x720 res}

More or less would there be any other settings that might need to be adjusted if using Core 2 Duo opposed to let's say a Single Core?

Thanks.

---
EDIT:
And sorry if I misheard from a friend or not but... does meGUI support Quad Core? (Better benefit over Duo?{I assume yes})

[Kurtnoise]

yes, it supports quadcore...and let set the thread # to auto if you're using x264.

[SacredCultivator]

Thanks, dangit, I shoulda bought a Quad Core when I bought my System (Only got it a few days ago), oh well, if I may ask.. what other components affect the Encoding Time (If not including Filters)

[b66pak]

i order to avoid the random (rare) .mp4 "bad public atom error" i tried to encode to raw .h264 but after i select "autoencode" and add the audio and select the .mp4 container the queue is like:

video>.mp4
video.mp4+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4

it should be like:

video>.264
video.264+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4


do you plan to fix this?
_

still not fixed...
_

[Sharktooth]

we dont fix bugs for other softwares.
the problem of bad public atom error is in mp4box.
if you found a workaround using raw avc then use manual encoding.

[Kurtnoise]

that's not a mp4box bug for sure.

more a file not supported by a player beginning by "quick" and ending by "time"...:p So, it's not my 1st priority you know.

[Sharktooth]

oh... then we wont fix CrapTime(tm).

Hi, i've just updated megui's core and x264, and it seems that when i open a mkv file with XVID and AAC, aero stops working and vista turns to basic. As soon as i quit megui, everything's back to normal. Any ideas? Weird bug, don't know if it has to do with the update though.

[Tae]

Just FYI on interface problem in Vista 64. I know you don't support it, but I have lost Gui buttons in the past but was able to get around it. This one is a killer...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/tkilmer/meguiinterfaceerror.jpg

I lost the Avisynth save button before, but was about to work around. Have not had the Aspect ratio button either. Not sure why this is happening, just thought you should know. I went back to core 0.3.0.3004 to get the DV2 Creator fixed, so it was lost with a change since then.

Just an update, the buttons are back. I noticed it after I updated tonight to the latest stable release.

Thanks

which filters/decoders do you have installed ?

[Grossmeister]

When I open a video file (PAL) using
FFMS2_FFVideoSource(source="C:\temp\video\Assist_cap0001.avi", seekmode=1)
And pass it to MeGUI, MeGUI tells me that video is in I420 format, and proposes to add ConvertToYV12() at the end, and after that it tells that video is still in I420, not in YV12 (look at attached image). Nothing changes if I add ConvertToYV12() to .avs script myself.

Then I used
WriteFile("D:\convert\AvsP\info.txt","IsRGB32")
WriteFile("D:\convert\AvsP\info.txt","IsYUY2")
WriteFile("D:\convert\AvsP\info.txt","IsYV12")
code to check the colorformat after FFMS2_FFVideoSource() call and I received "true" for IsYV12.
So, I can't understand, why MeGUI keeps telling me that the input format is no YV12.

After that I tried AVISource and it worked well. But, there is a question: in AViSource help (http://avisynth.org/AviSource) it is written that by default pixel_type = YV12, and also it written that sometimes it is better to open video in same (video's) colorformat.

I'm using x264 as encoder, what should I do:
1. Use FFMS2_FFVideoSource(). Then what to do with warning from MeGUI?
2. Use AVISource(pixel_type="source_format") and then ConvertToYV12(). Then how to know about what is video file colorformat.
3. Use AVISource() with default pixel_type = "YV12"?

Thanks.

[Kurtnoise]

can't see the picture yet but I'd say #2...

[Grossmeister]

can't see the picture yet but I'd say #2...
Hmm, it (the picture) is still pending approval. Here what is writen there:
Your AviSynth clip has the following problem:
AviSynth clip is in I420 not in YV12, even though ConvertToYV12() has been appended.
Continue anyway?

And if #2, then how can I check original file colorformat? I couldn't find such information in MediaInfo.

[b66pak]

we dont fix bugs for other softwares.
the problem of bad public atom error is in mp4box.
if you found a workaround using raw avc then use manual encoding.

this is not about x264 encoder messing up (sometimes) public atoms...is about megui changing the queue...

what is the reason for autochanging this?

video>.264
video.264+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4

to

video>.mp4
video.mp4+audio.m4a>muxed.mp4

[Sharktooth]

you continue to not understand.
if craptime is not standard compliant, it's not our problem.
we also wont fix what's already correct to comply with a non compliant software...
if you wanna that fixed, ask apple devs to fix quicktime once and for all.

D2V Creator problem: When "select audio tracks" is used, the audio track is not always demuxed. But using "demux all tracks" will always work if the "select audio tracks" doesn't.

[tph]

I believe the AVC Levels Checker is bugged, it complains when using 4 ref frames with a 1920x1080 resolution which it shouldn't. It also complains when using 3 ref frames in combination with b-pyramid.

AFAIK this behavior was correct in earlier revisions of x264 but not any more.

[~bT~]

D2V Creator problem: When "select audio tracks" is used, the audio track is not always demuxed.

i can confirm that bug too.

[Sharktooth]

tph, it depends on the level not on the resolution.

[keyed]

There's a minor problem when using Automatic Encoding.

The "Size and Bitrate" calculations for the choices that you don't select are off. For instance, I normally use the profile setting (mine's set at 2000) and a file I encoded last night came out to 365 mb using this setting. I was reencoding it to 340 mb, when I noticed that the file size setting and average bitrate setting don't correspond correctly.

When I set the "filesize" option to 340 mb, the "average bitrate" option showed 2040 bkit and a videosize of 339.7 mb. The file was outputted correctly at ~340 mb, but using the bitrate calculator, the actual bitrate was probably 1848.

If I use the "average bitrate" option and put in 1848, the video size is 307.6 mb and "filesize" shows 307 mb. Add in the audio, and it'll be 340 mb, but "filesize" should have shown 340.

[tph]

tph, it depends on the level not on the resolution.

Oh, forgot to mention I used level 4.1

D2V Creator problem: When "select audio tracks" is used, the audio track is not always demuxed. But using "demux all tracks" will always work if the "select audio tracks" doesn't.

Hi:

I made a post a couple of weeks ago where I showed that in One Click Encoder the audio track selected was extracted but then post processor could not find it, except when it was the first one.

I think that both issues could be related;)

Right now I always use the option to extract all audio tracks and remux manually the one I like.

Hope this helps!!

Avira AntiVir has been telling me that 'megui-uninstall.exe' contains a virus as of late. Pretty sure it's a false positive, but is there any way there could be anything even remotely malicious in there? And has anyone else gotten this problem?

[SacredCultivator]

I guess I should have asked this a LONG time ago, I just never paid much attention until asking a fellow friend and comparing the FPS's used.

When I encode using x264 codec for let's just say a music video (720x400), with my new pc I only hit roughly 7fps, whereas my friend says he hits 60fps... And I think both our systems are roughly the same...
I havea E8400 3.0Ghz (not overclocked) and he uses AMD 440 X2

The meGUI settings that we tried for comparison is as follows:
program --crf 21.0 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --deblock -2:-1 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --partitions all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 17500 --me umh --merange 32 --threads auto --thread-input --aq-strength 0.5 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"

Avisynth script:
MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\####\Desktop\asdf\tester\testing.d2v")
#Tomsmocomp(-1,1,1)
tfm(pp=5,cthresh=3,mode=0).tdecimate()
Crop(4,0,-2,-0,align=true)
Spline36Resize(720,400)
Removegrain(2)
UnFilter(-5,-5)
gradfun2db()

So I was wondering if anyone might know anything about this... As he told me he had to apply an AMD dual core optimizer, and I googled for the Intel versiona nd found it but using XP SP3 {same with friend} and says it's too new, so I did the manual patch by tweaking the registry / boot.ini
---
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Throttle]
"PerfEnablePackageIdle"="1"

(Optional - read notes first) Now look at your boot.ini to make sure that the command /usepmtimer is there, by right clicking on My Computer go to Properties, click on the ADVANCE tab, then under Startup and Recovery click on Settings, then click on EDIT....make sure your boot.ini has the /usepmtimer in there (located in the last line), if NOT [make a backup of the Boot.ini first] then just copy and paste /usepmtimer in there. (NOT the entire boot.ini example)
---

Not too sure if there is anything else I need to mention.

[Dark Shikari]

60fps with that system, settings that high, and a script that complex?

Not buying it.

[SacredCultivator]

^Talking to him atm, but apart from him, on my behalf, does that sound right or...

---
EDIT:
Okay nvm, he lied to me lol, he didn't bother using the settings I did, so nvm, 6fps sounds right.

Cause the Preset I used is sorta a mixed between Insane and HQ, as I'm not too sure what settings to really use to get great quality. Which stops me from using 2-pass as I don't know what size to set things, which is why i use 1Pass Constant Quality, as I'm not too sure what settings I can 'change' to increase encoding time without losing much quality.

[Sharktooth]

Avira AntiVir has been telling me that 'megui-uninstall.exe' contains a virus as of late. Pretty sure it's a false positive, but is there any way there could be anything even remotely malicious in there? And has anyone else gotten this problem?

I suspect the track ID not found by megui...I've already explained why this appears sometimes and how to "fix" it.

[tomos]

strange thing about that, is that when i run a vob through d2v creator, it 'sees' that there is an audio track there. it just doesnt do anything about it. demux all does the trick though

[Sharktooth]

re-rip your DVD including ALL audio tracks.

[Snowknight26]

Custom file sizes aren't saved in the bitrate calculator. Oh and the DTS bitrate issue is still there.

[tomos]

I'd like to have your ifo (if you have it) + a piece of your vob file...

will have a look. i run mine through dvdshrink first though (remove unneeded audio tracks only and split each tv ep to 1 vob file)

will re-rip and get one soon (ish)

[tomos]

here's a rar file - 20MB chunk + bup/ifo files. (http://www.filefactory.com/file/afg5e9b/n/mash_test_rar)

choosing select all tracks works 'select audio' alone doesnt.

thanks for checking :thanks:

[Kurtnoise]

dunno why it fails for you but here the audio track is clearly extracted when I select it in the list...:confused:

[tomos]

it's the same on 2 pcs (win7 and vista x64). i have to choose to extract all

[Kurtnoise]

did you try the sample you have posted ? it comes from dvdshrink or not ?

[tomos]

i did, same thing. i rip with shrink since it splits each episode into 1 VOB file, makes it nice and easy to throw into megui. that sample is from dvdshrink yes.

odd that it works for you though

[dolphinjet]

Did a search only in wiki & this thread but cannot find the answer.

Is there any way that I can disable subtitle loading automatically in MeGUI?
I have set it in DirectVobsub to "Do Not Load" already.
In MPC + K-lite codec pack, it doesn't load but it does in MeGUI (version 0.3.1.1012) , in the avisynth preview mode.
It will also load when encoding but I don't want them hardsubbed into the videos.

Did a search only in wiki & this thread but cannot find the answer.

What format are your input video & subs in?

For many formats, you can just remove the subs & place them in a separate folder from the source video

Hi I cannot MCTemporalDenoise to work in Megui. This is the script I used, pretty basic just to see how good it is.


# Set DAR in encoder to 137 : 98. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 137
global MeGUI_dary = 98
import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MCTemporalDenoise.v1.1.26.avsi")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\flebber\My Documents\Downloads\Hanoi_Rocks_-_Boulevard_Of_Broken_Dreams.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
crop( 6, 8, -10, -8)

#resize
ConvertToYV12()
#denoise
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="medium")


This is the error I am receiving. I have all last Megui updates installed. For a bigger image of error.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3345/3261962157_1e7ed7ae57.jpg

does your script work outside of megui ? like vdub or any player ?

It loads in Virtualdub but will not play in zoomplayer or Media player classic. So its an error with the script in some way. I have triple checked dependencies so it must something small I can't find.

Fixed the script error but now I am having a NICMPG123source on my audio file when converting to aac. I have found that it appears to be a Nicaudio.dll issue. In this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141594&highlight=megui+nicaudio I have downloaded the dll. I haven't had this error before with mpeg 2 audio. Where for Megui should I install this dll.

The problem in the linked thread isn't related with you, was a mp3 in a wav container. The problem was solved and you have a standard mp2. Or not?

I can convert mp2 to m4a using MeGUI (with NicMPG123Source like decoder and NeroAacEnc) without problems. The NicAudio.dll in the MeGUI autoupdate is the last version.

Maybe is a problem with your mp2, is only 6.5 MB, can you upload the file to make some test?

[flebber]

I forced megui to re-install nicaudio, enc_aacplus and STx264 and now problem resolved.

Is it just me, or is the One Click Encoder not working in 3.1..1012?

It processes audio fine, runs the video processing without error, but creates a file with no extension.
Log for job7 (video, TestVideo.avs -> TestVideo_Video)
then fails on the mux
[Error] Log for job8 (mux, TestVideo_Video -> TestVideo.mp4)
[NoImage] Job commandline: "C:\Program Files\megui\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -add "V:\TestVideo_Video:fps=25" -add "V:\TestVideo Tc1 L2 2ch 48 256 DELAY 0ms_audio.m4a#trackID=1:sbr" -tmp V:\ -new "V:\TestVideo.mp4"
[Error] Error line: Error importing V:\TestVideo_Video:fps=25: Bad Parameter

If I manually create the video file and mux it, it works, although the video file created is a different size to the _Video file created during the One Click Encoder, despite them both using the same encoder settings and Avisynth script.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with MeGUI. I just recently reinstalled my PC I went from x64 to 32 bit vista home premium because x64 was giving me too many problems encoding blu-rays (video would come out choppy). I'm pretty confident it was a codec problem, but I'm not 100% sure either. Either way, I now have a completely different problem on my HTPC.

When using megui when I attempt to do the AVISynth script creator megui goes up to 90-99% processing power and stops responding. I have the Blu-Ray ripped to my HD via ANYDVD-HD with all encryption removed.

This was a clean install this past weekend. Computer specs are below if they are any help

Here are the following codecs/encoding programs I have installed on my computer so far.

CoreAVC Pro
Haali Media Splitter
FFDShow
ANYDVD HD
Megui
AC3 filter
framework 3.5
XVID 1.2.1

Everything is updated to the latest version including windows updates as of a couple of days ago.

I was trying to stay away from codec packs, but whatever works at this point I'll take it :)

All video's that I currently have on my computer play just fine, my problem is creating backups now with my blu-ray and DVD collection.

I have tried reinstalling megui with no difference in the results. I also tried reinstalling it and not updating it to see if that would help, it did not.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any help you guys may give.

what kind of file do you try to load ?

[Kelmino]

what kind of file do you try to load ?

I tried to load the M2ts file into the the AVISynth script creator.

[Inspector.Gadget]

I tried to load the M2ts file into the the AVISynth script creator.

Index it with DGIndex (MPEG-2 video) or DGAVCIndex (H.264 video) first and then load the resulting D2V or DGA file in the AVS Script Creator.

[saint-francis]

For some time now I have not been able to select files in the AVS creator which need directshowsource to load. MeGUI used to just hang and I'd eventually kill it, but now it just crashes on it's won without me needing shut it down. This happens 100% of the time. I have experienced the issue on 4 windows operating systems and 4 different computer. If there is something wrong with my system I would like to get to the bottom of it but I highly suspect it's a MeGUI issue.

Hi KurtNoise,

Is it me, or is the link not working, I only get a

"Error on page"
"Error in count_file on line 513.
./mp4tools/mp42ts-0.4.5.zip is already defined."

[dolphinjet]

What format are your input video & subs in?

For many formats, you can just remove the subs & place them in a separate folder from the source video
Thanks for replying.

I knew that too. I asked because I have MeGUI installed in 2 computers. One of it load sub automatically while another not. I want to know what settings I have screwed up.

Edit: uninstalled directvobsub from codec pack, may be it's the easiest solution
