MeGUI x64 support - tests needed

[Kurtnoise]

Since there are some people working w/ x64 machines nowadays and x264_win64 is beginning to run properly. So, why not to provide a megui package dedicated to the 64 bits tools...

Click here (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=MeGUI/&file=MeGUI-0.3.1.1011_x64.zip) to download the package.
Avisynth 64 bits (http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/avisynth64.zip) highly recommended.
Some encoders & avisynth plugins for x64 are also available here (http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/).



Feedbacks welcome as usual...:)

[deets]

ill give it a go as soon as i can get my girl off the PC, shes playing lego batman...

cheers though :)

[ricky man]

i dont know why i cannot save the setting on MeGui. Everytime i try to save the setting, it always tell me if the Avisynth is installed or not.

[Sharktooth]

have you regged it (double click on the ".reg" file...)?

[ricky man]

this is what i did. i installed Megui 32bit into hd then i copy the 64bit of Megui into the Megui 32bit so it overwrites it. after I copy 64bit of Avisynth into c:\program files. then i regged it. then i try to open it. it tells me that i need to installed Avisynth in order to work.

also i will try this step:

1. unstalled Megui
2. copy avisynth64 folder into c:\program files\
3. copy Megui 64bit folder into c:\program files\
4. i regged it then i try to use it. it tell me that same thing that i have not installed avisynth. also when i try to set it the avisynth plugin folder. it is not save at all.

[deets]

i get this error:
dimzon_avs_init_2 in DLL avisynth wrapper

avisynth file loads up in mpc64 ok using ffdshow 64 bit etc

[ricky man]

is there any step to how to installed it.? Please help me.

also i have this error.

[deets]

is there any step to how to installed it.? Please help me.

i unzipped into its own folder and copied the avisynth dll into any folder that had a previous copy. did the reg file and it works, but megui spits out the error above :)

[ricky man]

i also have this error when i try open it.

i know this is not an error. but i always get this popup when i try to open the Megui 64bit.

[Sharktooth]

you need the 64 bit avisynth wrapper dll.
did you happen to replace the one that comes with the megui x64 zip archive?

[ricky man]

this is my setup.

1. i reinstalled Megui 32bit
2. i unziped megui 64bit and copy into megui 32bit folder
3. i unziped avisynth 64bit and copy into c:\program files
4. i regged it

i installed Avisynth 2.58 (32bit) then i copy avisynth 64bit over the 32bit

[ricky man]

i replace the 32bit Avisynth to 64bit one.

why it is not saving it when i try to set the avisynth plugin under setting?

[Sharktooth]

coz megui thinks avisynth is not installed...
does megui 32bit works with avisynth 32bit?

[ricky man]

Megui 32bits work with avisynth 32bit on windows 32bit

Megui 32bits doesnot work with windows 64bits. it give me an error msg and crashed.

[turbojet]

I'm having troubles with avisynth 64 too. On Vista 64 I copied avisynth.dll to C:/WINDOWS/SysWOW64 overwriting 32 bit 2.58 ran the reg file and megui couldn't find avisynth. However vdub 64 wouldn't load it either so I think it can be decuded to an avisynth 64 install issue. I know with xvid 32 and 64 bit xvidvideo.org builds I couldn't install from inf or copy files and register them. I had to use an installer to get them to install correctly. Maybe it's the same unknown problem here and an installer would fix it?

[floz23]

One thing that is missing, does anyone know if an experimental version of the MultiThreaded plugin is available for avisynth64?

Thanks,

[RunningSkittle]

Copied avisynth (x64) over the 32bit avisynth.dll in the syswow64 folder and ran the .reg, this does not work for me either.

[jeffy]

Contrary to what the names may suggest, 64-bit operating system components and shared libraries go into the System32 folder, while 32-bit operating system components and shared libraries go into the SysWOW64 folder. (There are no typographical errors in this paragraph: 64-bit entities go into the System32 folder, and 32-bit entities go into the SysWOW64 folder.)

so what does that mean? how can we fix it?

[GrandDK]

Could this also be made so you can use 32 bit filters and decoders? just piping with avs2yuv For those encodes that needs filters only made in 32 bit. Would be great to havee both ways avaible.

I was thinking the same thing by way of a small exe file that could also be used by other gui's that send x264.exe <args>. I'd also include pipebuf to get a nice speedup. This is what I found out it has to do.

original x264 call: "x264.exe" --crf 20 <other args> "<input>" --output "<output>"

translate to: "pipebuf.exe" "avs2yuv.exe" "<input>" -raw - : "x264_x64.exe" --crf 20 <other args> --output "<output>" - <resolution> : <buffers, default of 4 works well>

Changes are in bold and have pipebuf, avs2yuv and x264_x64 in the same directory and point the guis to this exe instead of x264.exe.

I'm trying to learn C# but it's not easy for me to learn without getting bored. It would probably take me weeks-months to code something like this. Maybe someone with some coding skills could take a look at this?

[Kurtnoise]

please, open a new thread for those requests...

[RunningSkittle]

kurtnoise, how do we install 64bit avisynth? a number of us are having issues...

[deets]

i dont thinnk there is a prob with avisynth 64? just replace the dll's and click the reg? its megui 64 that has the problem?

i can open the files fine using mpc 64

[ricky man]

does anyone know how to fix this problem or not?

[squid_80]

Why are people copying the 64-bit avisynth over the top of the 32-bit avisynth.dll in syswow64? Nobody said to do this and all it's going to do is mess up your system. The 64-bit avisynth.dll goes in \windows\system32 not syswow64.

[turbojet]

please, open a new thread for those requests...

Oh I thought this could be a good alternative to the current problem.

Tried this too, it doesn't work.

[Kurtnoise]

yes, there is an issue w/ avisynth detection...I'll try to fix that asap.

[ricky man]

i want to know when that problem " issue w/ avisynth detection" will be fix.

[Sharktooth]

when it's done. happy now?

[cantonesejim]

I can't even get the x64 MeGUI to run, i keep getting this error message.http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e310/cantonesejim/Clipboard01.jpg

[cantonesejim]

any updates?

[Kurtnoise]

no update yet...I need to install a windows x64 OS first.

[tomos]

i want to try this but have the 32-bit avisynth installed at the mo. can i install this without screwing that up?

[turbojet]

sure tomos you can try, worst case scenario is insalling 32 bit again which really only replaces the dll in syswow64, you don't have to set anything up again, but I haven't seen any reports of avisynth 64 bit working. I really don't think megui is the issue here. Vdub64 wont input any files via avisynth 64 either but it does open files directly just fine.

[tomos]

ta turbojet :)

will monitor the thread and wait till megui is sorted out

[Romario]

Kurtnoise, MeGUI x64 doesn't exist anymore on your server, do you plan update soon or what ?

[Kurtnoise]

no update yet...I need to install a windows x64 OS first.
:sly:

[Romario]

ahhhh, sorry, I missed that sentence. But which processor you have, some Core 2 Duo ? It's not big problem to make dual-boot system, Kurtnoise. :)

Do you have sources, maybe somebody else can compile updated version until you find more time ? Can you, at least, post "old" version from your first post here ? Please.

[Sharktooth]

Romario... please ... STOP!
It's not the first time you're "pushing" ppl. Just DONT.
It's not by stressing ppl to death you will get what you want... actually it's the opposite.

[Romario]

I am not pushing people, I just ask... Sorry.

[Kurtnoise]

But which processor you have, some Core 2 Duo ?
Quad Core but doesn't mean anything there.

It's not big problem to make dual-boot system, Kurtnoise. :)
I've already a dual-boot...but not w/ a x64 OS. I'll probably virtualize it.

Do you have sources, maybe somebody else can compile updated version until you find more time ? Can you, at least, post "old" version from your first post here ? Please.
sources are public and accessible via svn...

Hey guys.
Really looking forward to this release.
If you need any help testing / debugging I could do that promptly.
I'm a software developer and experienced on beta testing stuff.
I'm running Win 7 x64 Ultimate on a core i7 860 4GB.

Thx

Its open source, so take a look at the SVN ;)

[ace0174]

Hey guys.

As I promissed I compiled megui x64 myself, installed avisynth64 and ran into the same detection errors mentioned before.
I wonder if it would be possible to manually show megui where avs is installed.

Anyways, 32 bit is working fine so far so I'm cool =)

[Hiritsuki]

I also waiting MeGUI 64bit ver. long time ....
x264.exe x64 have not MeGUI to use is inconvenient.
Anyone can build MeGUI x64 ver. ?

[dvy]

Front end GUI application need not 64bit,MeGUI only spawn another app i.e. x264, x264 need 64bit.

[cellax]

what about this megui x64 opplication? is it working?

[Zathor]

I have compiled a quick x64 MeGUI test application.

Installation instruction:
1. Install Avisynth x64 as described here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152800
2. Install MeGUI x86 and let it update itself with the development server
3. Disable auto update!
4. Replace the files in the MeGUI directory with these files:
Link removed!
5. Replace the \tools\x264\x264.exe with the \tools\x264\x264_x64.exe (copy, not rename/delete)
5. Update the Avisynth Plugins in the megui tools folders. You can find most of them here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152800

Happy testing!

WARNING: It is not tested very well, it may crash, it will crash... test it only if you know what you are doing. If you find a problem I may not able to help you but someone else may find a solution so please post it.
