View Full Version : MeGUI - Encoding Problem

I haven't posted much here, so if this post isn't informative enough to receive help, please let me know.

I have setup MeGUI and encoded tons of movies for the past year now with zero problems. It's been about a month and a half since I encoded my last movie, so I started MeGUI up and updated everything.

I ripped the movie using AnyDVD HD and did everything I've done before once the movie was done being ripped. I created the AVS Script and queued it up to be encoded using all of the same settings I've used in the past.

As soon as I start to encode I immediately get an error. This is from the log file:

[Information] Log

--[NoImage] Exception message: starting encoder failed with error 'The parameter is incorrect'
--[NoImage] Stacktrace: at MeGUI.core.gui.JobWorker.startEncoding(TaggedJob job)

Now I'd love to provide more information to help with this, but I have no idea what to give because I've never had a problem. Not one setting had been changed, everything (including the encoder settings) are exactly the same. The only difference now is the fact that I had updated MeGUI.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated as my knowledge of this stuff is very limited. Thanks.

Something is wrong with latest x264 build for meGUI (rev 1114 from auto update).
Get other build from http://x264.nl and replace manually.

Hi friend..
The only thing i can see right now is, Install framework 3.5 SP1 and it might work..I've have all the framworks up to date all time..
Cheers, as former poster claims about X264 it might be the problem but i have encoded several movies but i have latest Framework and it goes like a clock..

I have the same problem as the first poster. (Win Vista USA SP1 32 bit) Updated to .NET 3.5, but same error. Did many encodes in the past w/o problem, so seems indeed an issue with the latest update.

I trust they will fix it soon.

Hi ya,

Same error on x64 Vista as the original poster with version 0.3.1.1016 of MeGUI and version "1114 - Skystrife's patched build" of x264 ...

Reverting back to the backup copy of x264.exe worked fine (re-instated version "1113 - Skystrife's patched build") ...

I had the same issue yesterday i was surprized.
I did this :
Something is wrong with latest x264 build for meGUI (rev 1114 from auto update).
Get other build from http://x264.nl and replace manually.

And it works now thanks !

Same here, kept getting errors, but the build from x264.nl fixed it. Just another data point.

Thanks for the replies, I will try the same as everyone and use a different x264 executable.

Friends..
Maybe a little bit odd question, but cant figured out.
Have a small clip from WallE 1080p about 2min for checking out different encoder settings.

1. the movie clip without audio set to a bd-iso works like a clock..on standalone
2. add audio and it stutters ( audio has right framrate as far i can see ) the only thing from eactlog2 it gives a warning about something

i have tried to convert the audio in to different samplings .but no luck

Do you guys have a clue there to look for the problem, i will UL to NL the different parts and the original clip.
