duckdown: post your log, and use one of the included xvid profiles if you are unsure of what settings to use.

If you use the percentage profiles it's very important to read up on them and understand how they work. MeGUI really needs basic no-effort profiles since it's obvious that the integration to find the best profile isn't going to happen anytime soon now.

I noticed that the NDACCLC-96kbps audio profile is too low on my ipod even with the "increase volume automatically" enabled. When I encode with StaxRip it is at least 15db louder. BTW: it is also low on my TV playing on my PopCorn Hour.

Hi, using the latest version I encounter a crash when using the 'One Click Encoder' mode.

Everything goes well as long as I don't remove the 2nd Audio Track tab.(One Click Encoder/Encoder Config) If I encode using the standard 2 audio track tabs, the audio gets muxed at twice the normal speed, and thus stops halfway the movie, If I rightclick the "Audio Track 2" tab and select remove, and then click Go!, it crashes...

@Poopoo: by using which build ? (dev or stable one ?)

@dejected_is_me: you should ask to Mosu for that...

Hi Kurtnoise13,

I use version 0.2.6.1043.

Also, If I play the generated MP3 file with foobar2000, it also plays at double speed, so the problem must be in job 13 below:

Log for job job13

Input: Channels=2, BitsPerSample=16, SampleRate=48000Hz
Command line used: C:\Program Files\megui\tools\lame\lame.exe -b 128 --cbr -h --silent - "D:\My DVDs\Kyoto\Kyoto T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms_audio.mp3"
------------------------------------------------------

Starting postprocessing of job...

Job completed successfully and deletion of intermediate files is activated

Postprocessing finished!

End of log for job13


EDIT : Seems like deselecting "Force decoding via DirectShow" and "Improve accuracy using...." have fixed the mp3 playing 3 times normal speed.

Still, there is the crash in "One Click Encoder" using only 1 audio track.

Just thought i would mention this weird bug...

If i connect to the pc running megui with remote desktop while megui is processing (eg x264) then disconnect the remote session, the next job will always fail with a strange error and nothing in the logs.

MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed.
Reason: Error creating window handle.

I am using MeGUI 0.2.6.1042. I need to mux an MP4 audio with x264 video. The problem is the delay value has to be 35268ms. MeGUI doesn't allow delay to be greater than 10000ms while muxing.

Any solution to this?

just use mp4box by itself. There's a standalone GUI in the form of YAMB. google should find both, but kurnoise bundles them together.

Tried MP4Box in both commandline and YAMB. The delay isn't working. And it looks like I am not the only one having this issue. I saw someone mentioning it might be an issue with Haali Media Splitter skipping the delay part or something.

Any other MP4 muxing software that supports delay?

35+ seconds is not a delay imo but more or less an issue with your stream...

Yea I know it is a very abnormal value for a delay. But that is how I get the stream.

Anyway I found a solution to this. I used a program called Delaycut to correct the delay in the AC3 file itself. Then encoded it to MP4 with MeGUI, muxed it and now everything is fine.

the DVD was badly ripped (possibly due a copy protection). use a proper program to rip it (ripit4me, dvdfab HD decrypter...)

I'm trying to encode Ratatouille with MeGUI and the audio and video are out of sync.

It seems that there are a few seconds of extra black frames of video that are not in the VOBs (namely the disney logo comes up 1-2s into watching the DVD, but 3-4s when watching the generated h264 file).

any ideas?

Nothing for MeGui to worry about .
Decrypt it with another Decrypter.
By the way: DVD or BD Version?

I can't find subq, agh....

I have searched around in MeGUI for an hour now... When doing a search for "subq" in the .xml profiles, I can't find any reference there either.... I've also tried searching this thread... (I mention all this to say that I tried to RTFM and put effort into finding before asking)

I'm probably just blind...

When setting codec to x264, is there a way to adjust subq (besides using the custom commandline options box)?

If not, what is the default?

subq? what are you talking about?
maybe "subme" (referenced as Subpixel Refinement in the profile config window)...

I am sorry, I got the option confused because in MEncoder the same option is "subq"

"subq=<1−8> subpel refinement quality (for qpel) (default: 8 (high quality))"

Except the range appears to be 1-7 instead of 1-8 ???

I am asking this because I wanted to change to 6 as per: "Options which primarily affect speed and quality"

the list of modes are described in MeGUI's "Subpixel refinement" dropdown in the profile configuration.
from subme=1 to subme=5 there are no RD optimizations. submne=6 and 7 use RDO. the b-rdo (RDO for b-frames) option requires subme>=6 (this may be the subq=8 in mencoder).
