Megui encode problem

[Sem]

i have this weird megui encode problem and ill try my best to explain

after ive gone through the usual steps to create my avisynth file etc i then go to the bitrate calculator and then set a file size of 2GB

i click enqueue then i try to encode
i notice the fps is way higher than it should be on the first pass (around 200fps when it should be 90-100)

on the 2nd pass the fps is way higher again (100fps when it should be around 50) and instead of 2GB the output size is around 250-300mb and the quality is poor

this seems to happen randomly
my first encode was fine but when i moved on to my 2nd one it was messed up like i described

anyone know whats wrong

using the xbox360/ps3 profile

thanks

What container does the source file have? Avi, mpg, ts, vob, wmv... ?
What codec does it use? Mpeg-2/Wmv/Xvid/DivX/H.264/VC-1... ?

Post your script! I suppose there is a DirectShowSource line, am I right?

[Sem]

its m2ts to mp4

here is my script


# Set DAR in encoder to 163 : 68. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 163
global MeGUI_dary = 68
DirectShowSource("Z:\Temp\Temp Videos\HD\xmen\x-men2.m2ts",fps=23.9759856527702,audio=false)
#deinterlace
#crop
LanczosResize(1280,528) # Lanczos (Sharp)
#denoise

i had the same problem and i solved it by removing all my video profiles, close megui, open megui and importing new ones.

it seems the old profiles don't seem to stick with the bitrate selected.

hmm do i need to that every time i try to encode something

just noticed that yesterday i removed all the profiles then added the latest v62 one and it worked fine

then when i went to encode my 2nd video the same problem happened again
so i guess i will need to remove them all again then re-import for every time i encode a new video :(

what???

[Sem]

what???

im having problems with my encodes

the file size and quality is a lot lower than what i set it to

hmm do i need to that every time i try to encode something

i didnt..

never heard of this problem
ensure to run megui as admin.
check the megui folder and subfolders priviledges (megui must be able to write the profiles...)
post your exact steps
FYI bitrate calc does no longer set the bitrate into the current profile (by design).

I've seen this before and it happens once in a while and it's pretty random but also pretty rare. I've had it happen maybe 2 or 3 times but I just shut everything down, and re-create the avs script, etc and then it works fine. Not the end of the world, unless it's happening EVERY time or is specific to the video stream you are using.
