MeGUI - x264/XviD/lavc/Snow encoder with MP4/MKV/AVI output & audio

[MOS-Marauder]

Hi Folks.

Since i guess ive posted this in the Wrong Thread before now ill do it here again..


Well from Time to Time i got problems with MeGui encoding to XVID 2 Pass.

Its performing Pass1 perfectly with approx 450 FPS encode speed and then it crashes starting Pass2. (Log below)

That can this be ? Its most time only on Xvid with 640x272 Resolution.

Edit:
I tried it again with another DVD and got the Same problem.. Pass1 perfect, pass2 crash. All encodes to 640x272. If i have an encode 640x352..everything runs perfect.
I dont know what else to test now...

I have a problem with MeGUI. when it finished Encoded Audio it dosent Encode Video suddenly error and stop. Does anybody knows?

[LigH]

Why can't people get used to providing helpful details?

MeGUI creates a log with the verbose error message and directions to the reason.

Furthermore, a MediaInfo analysis of the source file can't hurt. Never.

Hi.
I have 2 systems, one is laptop (Core i5) and another is desktop with AMD A10-5800K. On desktop, when I encode DTS to AC-3 job step called "Preprocessing" takes huge amount of time (several minutes), on laptop it finishes in a few seconds. Same delay I have when demuxing mkv. Is this something related with MeGUI settings.
Is there a way to reset them? Or where should I dig?

[Zathor]

Likely you have normalize enabled which will take a few seconds/minutes - but please post your log file.

[Grossmeister]

Thanks. About audio encoding, delay was result of normalizing option enabled.
About mkv demux: if I select to extract video stream as .mkv (default option) extractor just freezes ("Analyzing ..."), if I set .h264 - process goes normally. Actually I would better set .h264 for video stream as default option if it is possible.
Anyway, here is a log for the first case:

OK, it's fixed. Just reinstalled Matroska.

Hi,

I'm encountering a minor problem, hopefully this is the right place to post it.

I've encoded a couple bluray movies recently using Megui (2-pass x264 muxed to mkv), but when I play them afterwards using VLC I'm finding that it has somewhat of a seek time when I skip through the movie; in particular if I were to skip from 5 mins in to say 30 mins, the elapsed time counter on the bottom left side turns blue while it's seeking and takes about 5 seconds while it's navigating to the time position.

I've encoded tons of bluray video over the last couple years (when I was on Win7) and none of them have this seek issue - when I click on a timestamp, it instantly jumps there and continues. I switched to Win8 recently, forgot to backup my x264 profiles , so I had to remake them all again, so I'm assuming I've just forgotten one of the settings that I used to use. My guess is that it has something to do with video buffering?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Did you try with another player ? Did it exhibit the same behaviour ?

Did you still have your logfiles ? If yes, post them here...maybe we can help you with this.

[tebasuna51]

Maybe the problem is the new mkvmerge 5.9.0 and this:

[luke83]

I'm using the r683 version of ffms instead of r725 ICL 4.
If i use it, megui makes a mistake on the indexing of the pre-rendering job file

Yep, it was exactly that! I guess VLC has an issue with the new Matroska specs. I just checked off 'Dummy Elements' in VLC and it all works great now. Thanks for your help!

[hubblec4]

i think there is a small bug in the avs creator. (MeGUI2272 x64)

i use the AutoCrop button and the value of the right side is 2 (left:0 top:132 bottom: 134).

If i select the resize filter mod16 i cant set the display resolution to 1920x???. 1880x800 is the maximum value i can set.
in a previous version it was possible to do this.

[Zathor]

Upsizing is now disabled by default. You can enable it in the AviSynth profile settings.

[docholliday]

When I use mt2 format from Full BD my MeGUI stop working ! How can i do that ?

[Zathor]

Post your log file and describe what you are doing. Likely you are using the m2ts directly with DiretShowSource - use instead the HD Streams Extractor, convert the m2ts to mkv and use the file indexer on the mkv.

Yes i'm use DirectShoSource and use Directly Stream Folder ,You said I must convert m2ts file to Mkv ?

[Kurtnoise]

yes...

[Betsy25]

FYI - Mkvtoolnix 6.0.0 is out, which has Header Removal Compression switched off by default.

Yes, good news!

But maybe we need now:
--engage no_cue_relative_position --engage no_cue_duration
to preserve compatibility with some players.

mmh, its not an upscaling in my case.
after cropping i loose 2Pixel from the rigth side. so could be the display dimension 1918x???



and where i can set the upscaling in AVISynth configuration?
