meGUI Stucks between 70-80%.

[th3obr0]

meGUI doesn't seem to work for me these days. Not only my laptop, but I tried re-encoding a movie thrice on my cousins Quad Core and it always got stuck between 70-80%. Always stopped a 4xx MBs out of 570 MBs.

The FPS keeps dropping after that and increases the remaining time. It was supposed to be done in 12-14 hours, but the result is in front of you. It has been pretty frustrating and I am not able to get it to work. Anyone has any idea about it?

Thanks!

^ srestore is the problem. split the encode up into two, encode, then join.

You mean splitting the source in to two parts and then encode? If yes, then what is a good VOB splitter. I tried all, but most suck.

[th3obr0]

Use Trim().

Oh I see. So I need to put in the frame numbers both the time for the two parts. For instance, 0-50 for first part, then 51-100 for the second part? How do I keep the audio in sync then?

Also, why was the FPS creating problem? Is it always supposed to be 23.976 when doing SRestore to a NTSC DVD??

How do I keep the audio in sync then? Avisynth will automatically trim the audio alongside the video to keep them in sync.

Also, why was the FPS creating problem? Is it always supposed to be 23.976 when doing SRestore to a NTSC DVD??Not sure what you are talking about here. What FPS problem? I think you are confusing between the video frame rate and the speed of encoding, which is also represented in FPS.

^^ BT's post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1264732&postcount=4) pointed Srestore as the problem. So is the FPS line problem or the plugin?

I haven't faced this issue before. Can you explain how is Srestore the issue?

Thanks!

^ it has a huge memory leak issue. i have a version of mrestore which should solve the issue & no splitting should be needed.

try this..http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=39dde50f7954a9bed2db6fb9a8902bda

use it like this:

Import("path\to\Mrestore.avs")
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("path\to\yadif.dll")
Yadif(mode=1)
Mrestore(quality=2,mtold=false)

Thanks for that, but what syntax do I use to change the FPS?

[~bT~]

default = 25fps

for 24.975fps use numr=5005 denm=12012 & for 23.976fps use numr=2002 denm=5005.
