MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[Doom9]

And are you 200% sure that once you press the autoencode button, you set the radio button to No Target Size (use profile settings) and that in the profile, the mode is set to ABR, Const. Quality or Const. Quantizer?
Especially the former is important.. you never confirmed that you're doing this. My 1P-Intermediate is set to ABR (so downloaded by the autoupdater).. but you MUST change that radio button or all will be for nothing. Unless you set the radio button to that particular setting, the number of passes configured in the settings will be taken.. and since the minimum there is 2 passes, you'll get two passes irrespective of the profile. I've tried this about 10 times now and the result is always the same..

I try to encode with Xvid but isnot success . I copy these command and run them in cmd but the message is the same

[foxyshadis]

I could not reproduce the error with the same command line. Run update and make sure all components are current.

[Doom9]

You're using an encraw release by S_0. You need to use the latest one by squid80 which you can download via autoupdate in megui.

[SCIF]

Hi everybody!
I am translating contexthelp.xml to Russian now.....


...How you think about possibility change or select contexthelp language, while installing megui?
Does nobody want to help translate MeGUI?

[Sharktooth]

I uploaded some updates in the autoupdate server (x264, profiles, dgdecode and dgmpgdec).
If you encounter some bugs (expecially with dgindex) please report them in the bug report thread.

Does nobody want to help translate MeGUI?
I can translate it in Italian...

[SCIF]

Sharktooth, see this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=855313#post855313) post, please. How you think about possibility change or select contexthelp language, while installing megui?
I finished Russian translate. With Sharktooth's translate MeGUI will have 3 variants of ContextHelp :)

[Henrikx]

Does someone translate into German ?
Am I to ask in the german doom9 forum?

[Sharktooth]

Sharktooth, see this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=855313#post855313) post, please.

the description is right. the lower the quantizer the lower the compression.

[SCIF]

the lower the quantizer the lower the compression.Yes, i think so too. But for what you set minimum quantizer?? I think nobody set min q to get a frames with good quality, but it set's for "wasting bits". I am right, isn't it?

[SCIF]

Is thread dead, again?

[foxyshadis]

Actually I already included the swapped descriptions in my local, whenever my next patch shows up and gets included it should be available.

[SCIF]

And how about translate's?

[Limobar]

Hi!

I was doing a 2-pass encode (x264) and during the second pass I found out that I was using an average bitrate (1934 kbit) that was too high. My question is: Can I use the first pass stats again, but then with a lower bitrate (1659 kbit)?

[berrinam]

Yes, it should be fine.

However, the larger the difference, the worse the quality.

[spunch]

berrinam, could you check your PM?

[Carpo]

i have ripped a file dvds to my hdd use dvd decryptrt 3.5.4.0 in file mode and when i tell megui to make a d2v from the vobs it stick up a box saying

could not find dvd decrypter generated info file

is this save to ignore or does it require that i rip the dvd in ifo mode ?

[Doom9]

is this save to ignore or does it require that i rip the dvd in ifo mode ?If you have the info file it'll show you the proper audio tracks and languages.. if not, you just have to figure out that info on your own and if you e.g. select track 8 and there's no track 8.. you just won't get any audio.
but it runs without that file, it's just always good to have it. And file mode... if your titleset contains additional content, you realize that file mode is going to get you that additional content (e.g. fbi warning, mpaa ratings and other annoying stuff) as well.. and it has nothing to do with file versus ifo mode.. it's about activating the info file option in dvddec.

[Morte66]

I'd appreciate a quick reality check on something... I've been away for a bit, last time I dropped by I saw the beginnings of development on interlaced encoding in x264. AFAICT, this hasn't got far enough to be integrated into MeGUI yet. Am I right, or is it sitting there in some menu that I'm ignoring?

[nurbs]

Interlaced has not been added to x264 yet because it slows down progressive encoding.
See here. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=859027#post859027)

[carlo_0000]

hy i don't know if i must post here but i have a strange problem on 1 hdtv mpeg2 what i try to convert to x264

using last megui with x264 in (mp4)

the source is a mpeg2 hd 1920*1088 from euro1080 channel (record in 2003)

the mpeg is 4.17 long

extract the audio it's olso 4.17 long

but when the video is converted to mp4
: the video is only 3.37 long
so i m not able to add the audio stream in my mkv what is 4.17 long


i convert over's hdmpeg to x264 without this problem

[ChronoCross]

does megui produce any error logs? More information please.

[carlo_0000]

no there was no error

i convert over's hdmpeg to x264 without this problem
oups no was with virtualdub

just finish a segond 1 with megui same problem video is shorter than the audio stream


but i think i found the problem
i openned in virtualdub the mpeg2 has 1920x1088 @ 25fps
end the mkv has 23.972fps

why it s not the same ? or is not that the problem?

edit: or maybe is this a error ?

[Sharktooth]

the problem is being discussed here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=114365

workaround: revert to DGIndex 1.4.7

[carlo_0000]

ok thanks

i try to instal the previous version

i have an other question:
why is mine p4 2ghz a lot slower with encoding to x264 than mine duron 1.8ghz ? +- 30% slower

[lexor]

I have a question regarding that dgindex issue, it's only for PAL right? so if I work with NTSC I don't have to downgrade?

Also is there any setting (or xml file) where I can force mkv to be a default container? I would never use mp4 or avi for anything I do, and changing it every time starting to get on my nerves.

[Doom9]

There's no need to downgrade dgindex.. just get the latest megui version.. I fixed the bug yesterday.

[Sharktooth]

i know, infact now you can just let megui auto-update and everything will work.

[lexor]

umm... anthing regarding my second question?

[Doom9]

no, defaults for the autoencode will come at some point but they're not there right now.

[ricardo.santos]

Hi everyone.

Ive been wanting to test Megui output using xvid and x264 for a while but everytime i tried it shows error messages

Since i have other programs that do that those error messages never bothered me.

With the growth of Megui "fan database" i decided once again to test it but the error messages poppd up again

one of them said "color matrix" when tryng to open preview window to crop video

heres another one
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/4831/meguizu5.jpg

[Doom9]

Can you please describe the steps you took after launching megui?

[ricardo.santos]

1- Tools>>>D2V CREATOR>>>Queue>>>Start

2-Tools>>>Avisynth script creator>>>Load d2v>>>AutoCrop>>>>error message>>>>press ok
http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/5876/megui2cv8.jpg

Line 2 on script:ColorMatrix(hints=true)

3-load avisynth script>>>load audio track>>>configure audio>>>>configure xvid>>>automated 2pass>>>enque>>>>Fatal Error message
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/4831/meguizu5.jpg

[ricardo.santos]

i removed the 2nd line of the script and it worked.

Going to try it using x264(the reason why i want to use Megui), will let you know how it goes

[foxyshadis]

Did you run the updater first? That'll add colormatrix to avisynth - obviously if it isn't there it won't work. Assuming your avisynth path is correct.

[chadamir]

whenever I try to run therogram I get the error "application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Clcik on ok to terminate the application."

I have the .net installed. and everything is up to date.

[Doom9]

@ricardo.santos: now do you still get that error or is everything working out? You can't quite count the second error if you get one before..

[chipzoller]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just stupid...

If I have a job processing in megui (x264 2 pass-auto) and add another with a script that contains: vobsub("subs.idx"), megui crashes and I see nothing in the log. Or rather to be more precise, megui hangs (but displays the burn-in subs in the preview window) when adding the job to the queue. Inside the .idx file I turned ON forced subs for a given sub channel. I realize I haven't given much hard fact here, but if this sounds like a familiar problem I'll investigate further.

[Doom9]

I take it as soon as you remove the subs it works like a charm, correct? And I also take it that the script's colorspace is not YV12 once you've added the subs. x264's input needs to be YV12

[chipzoller]

I take it as soon as you remove the subs it works like a charm, correct?

Correct.

The issue here is with megui as it hangs before calling x264.exe.

[ricardo.santos]

Did you run the updater first? That'll add colormatrix to avisynth - obviously if it isn't there it won't work. Assuming your avisynth path is correct.

yes, its all uptodate, i do get an error while trying to update neroaac, for some reason it doesnt update it, i looked at program files, avisynth plugins and all i could find was a colors_rgb.avsi no reference to color matric but megui says its there.

@ricardo.santos: now do you still get that error or is everything working out? You can't quite count the second error if you get one before..

yes i still get the first error and i have to manually remove that line from the script for megui to encode

I think something is messed up in the MeGUI auto-update configuration. Uninstall it, delete the MeGUI folder and reinstall it.
about neroaac :search:

[Blue_MiSfit]

I've got a wierd one all of a sudden. Here is the script for reference:



LoadPlugin("...\RemoveGrainSSE3.dll")
LoadPlugin("...\fft3dgpu.dll")
LoadPlugin("...\gradfun2db.dll")

DGDecode_mpeg2source("...\VTS_02_1.d2v",info=3)

ColorMatrix(hints=true)

fft3dgpu(sigma=2, bt=2, plane=1, wintype=1)
removegrain(mode=1)

gradfun2db()


Source is a 24p DVD. The problem is that when I go to encode with x264 shooting for a hair under 3 mbit automated 2 pass, MeGUI dissapears unexpectedly.

I tried a different movie with the same x264 settings, and a script with mpeg2source, colormatrix, removegrain, and eedi. This ran without issue.

After megui closes x264.exe is still running, and hogging up ~200MB of RAM for firstpass!! :)

here's my command line:
C:\Program Files\megui\tools\x264\x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 700 --stats ".stats" --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --nf --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --me umh --thread-input --cqmfile "D:\x264 Matricies\M4G_High_Detail_AVC.cfg" --progress --no-dct-decimate --no-psnr --output "" ""


Also, this script goes smoothly through vdub into XviD CQ4.

Ideas?
~MiSfit

[Doom9]

@chipzoller: could you post the avs script and do you get a preview when you load the script into megui? What's the crash message?

[ricardo.santos]

about neroaac :search:
i rember from the top of my head that the update doent work with neroaac because of some legal issues/licenses remember reading that we have to do it manually. but i thought that was solved has neroaac reference is still there in the update window. not a big problem anyway.

will uninstall megui and install it again and let you guys know of the results

Yes, I do get a preview window and it does show the burn-in subs displayed correctly.

When adding the job to the queue, MeGUI simply hangs....no crash, no error message. There is no hard drive activity and the CPU usage shoots to 100% straight away. I've tried letting it sit up for a period of time with no change.

any chance you could cut a sample with all that is required to reproduce the problem (including the subs)?

A ConvertToYV12() should be added in the megui avisynth script creation (expecially when using DirectShowSource() as input).
