I think MeGUI's LAME MP3 VBR quality scale is backwards. Although I don't come across the "10-100" quality scale
very often (the 0-9 scale is more common) so I could be wrong. Can anyone verify this?

Quote:
megui 100 = V9 (correct 100 = V0)
megui 90 = V8 (correct 90 = V1)
...
megui 20 = V1 (correct 20 = V8)
megui 10 = V0 (correct 10 = V9)

Numerically, yes. A VBR quality of 100 is likely equal to -V 0 --vbr-new. But that's more intuitive for most people, and the reason for the additional digit of precision is because LAME now supports command like -V 5.5

Edit: incorrect

MeGUI's VBR quality of 100 equates to -V 9 (not -V 0), and so on all the way down the scale (10 equates to -V 0), opposite of LAME documentation.
I un/installed MeGUI, re-encoded and checked the logs because I couldn't believe it. Do you think this oddity in MeGUI is intentional?

Looks like they follow the LAME standard with the decimal point shifted once to the right. Odd, and somewhat counterintuitive...

That still wouldn't quite be right. (-V 10.0 should then equate to 100, but it's off at 90?) Since using the scale backwards works perfectly, someone must be using it backwards?!

You can fix it by using an up to date version of x264.

The update server is not being updated. You can try putting in MeGUI's settings kurtnoise's update server. So you can use latest x264 from http://x264.nl/, and latest dev MeGUI from SF.net. If you need a patched x264 build then take a look at this topic.

im having a bit of trouble, all my encodes are coming out with pink, green and various coloured speckles and blocks randomly bliping frequently and simultaneously on the screen.

i'm using x264 on the default settings after install (*scratchpad*) with the only change is it set to medium speed from fast encoding. Also tried [Unrestricted 2-pass HQ].

All I've done is installed megui and allowed it to update itself with all its necessary addons rather than install them separately/manually. Using mp4 file format, and [Nero AAC: NDAAC-HE-Multichannel-HQ 192kbps] not that that is relevant as i did one without audio. I'm using Autoencode and d2v creator with .vob files. Using [Clever Anamorphic encoding] just cropping the black areas, no resize but [suggest resolution (mod16)] is ticked. Everything else is untouched from defaults. thanks.

EDIT: also tried various sources of .vob files with the same problem. all the sources are clean when played from the hdd.

Removing the current update servers in 1055 and changing it to http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/ then updating the stuff it wanted to did fix the bug.

putting http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/ in the options/settings/'extra config' and clicking 'configure servers' finds 11 updates so thats good....

however im getting these reported errors on meGUI startup but i cant seem to find them in any log ? so heres a screenshot if that helps solve this.

it doesnt seem to be effecting the GUI use after its cleared though, very odd.



thanks XhmikosR

megui 0.3.1.1055 is currently burning the subs directly on the video frame.
Is there a way to force megui to just copy the sub in to the output container ??
Please help

Sorry i think i was not clear enough.

Currently i am encoding via somewhat long process.
For example i have an mkv media file with inbuilt sub that i want to encode.
So at present i am doing
* Demuxing the source to two separate files i.e. media and sub.
* encoding the new media file(without sub)
* Finally muxing the above mentioned sub to the output media to get the final output.

The source i mentioned are mkv files with srt subs. So if i directly encode them in megui the subs are getting hardcoded (burned directly on the video frame).

So what i wanted to know was, is there a way to skip the initial demuxing process.
That is megui directly copying the subs inside the source container to final output container (soft sub).
