MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

couldnt lav filters be used in place of haali ?

[sneaker_ger]

Not unless ffms and eac3to switch to LAV.
Though I'm really wondering about eac3to using Haali for demuxing. I think it's only for mkv muxing.

Hi Zathor
There seems to be a bug regarding mod16 option in AviSynth script creator.
The option only affects vertical resolution and not horizontal one.
For example, source with 1284x544 downsized to SD resolution gives 724x304.
304 is mod16 but 724 is not.
I need to adjust it manually to 720.
Thanks.

[Zathor]

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in the next build.

Hi everybody, advance merry xmas + happy new year !!

I don't remember if XviD can decompress using MeGUI x64. Because I have this error:



Usualy when we have this it's because we don't have the correct splitter and/or codec to decode. but I have both ffdshow + haali installed. I use also megui x86 and of course there is no problem to decompress xvid only with megui x64.
What to think ? Thx

[LigH]

Your AviSynth script uses the filter AVISource. This filter opens AVI files with the "Video for Windows" API. To decompress Xvid video, it requires a VfW codec installed for decompressing video with the FourCC 'xvid'; a DirectShow decoder filter will not help here.

You may a) enable Xvid decompression in your ffdshow VFW Configuration (yellow icon); b) install the Xvid codec; c) use FFmpegSource2 instead of AviSource in your script.

Because you are using MeGUI 64bit, you may have issues accessing VfW as it is a 16/32 bit API; support in 64 bit address mode may have been deprecated. Therefore, solutions a) and b) may not be available for you.

[Sm3n2]

Solution c) was the best solution.

Little tutoriel to load:

-Download FFmpegSource 2.17 AVS cplugin here https://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/list
-Put the x64 files into your Megui 64\tools\avs\
-add to your script the following lines:
LoadCPlugin("Your_Path\Megui 64\tools\avs\ffms2.dll")
Import("Your_Path\Megui 64\tools\avs\ffms2.avsi")
FFmpegSource2("Your_Path\Your_Video.avi")

Thx again LigH !

MeGui 2237 Not muxing mkv.
Hi just did the upgrade and now MeGui is not muxing mkv(encoding is fine)
Worked just fine before.

1.mkv + 2.mkv + 3.mkv doesn't work, I used mkvmerge gui 5.9.0

 Warning: The track number 0 from the file 'H:\HD3.mkv' can probably not be appended correctly to the track number 0 from the file
'H:\HD1.mkv': The codec's private data does not match (lengths: 41 and 41). Please make sure that the resulting file plays correctly the 
whole time. The author of this program will probably not give support for playback issues with the resulting file.

I restored the prevous version of ffmindex becouse the latest doesn't work good for me. It happens when i use the pre-rendering job: it doesn't show any error but when i open the muxed video file (mkv), the file is incompleted and the audio is out of synch. However i solved renaming the backup of ffindex in the folder of megui

How do you append the files in MeGUI? Please describe it in detail.

I am not able to reproduce this. Please post the "Versions" part of your log file. If you can reproduce it with a small file < ~200 MB then please also upload this file. And it may be required that you file a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/issues/list

I encoded using Megui 2237.

HD1.avs = HD1.mkv
HD2.avs = HD2.mkv
HD3.avs = HD3.mkv

and I muxed using mkvmerge.

HD1.mkv
++HD2.mkv
++HD3.mkv
HD.ac3

But I use Megui 2237 doesn't mux. an error has occurred
worked fine before, ver.2135, and Ripbot,staxrip..
not worked Megui ver. 2237 only.

Sorry, I still do not get it completly. So you made three encodes with MeGUI and tried to append them with MKVMerge directly, correct? Do you use MKVMerge from the tools\mkvmerge directory? If yes please try the old MKVMerge build (5.6).

That is corrcet.
Yes, I used mkvmerge from the tools\mkvmerge directory.
I have tried already to old mkvmerge build.

So far it has been no problem. ver.2237 is problem.
Maybe Megui Core or new x264 or Haali splitter I think...

I have no idea what to do.
Thanks anyway

ps. all three parts with the same x264 settings, same megui build(2237), same avs scripts.. not my problem

[Zathor]

If you have encoded all three parts with the same settings (using the same MeGUI build) I have no clue.

I had a similar issue the other day only admittedly I was trying to append a new encode to an old one and according to the "private data doesn't match" error the numbers were 41 and 42, but in your case they're the same. Mind you I googled but couldn't find any info which explained what it all meant anyway.

As a workaround, maybe try this. Using your original AVIsynth scripts as the source videos, create a new script to encode the three of them as a single encode. All you need to do is manually create a new script like this one:

Import("E:\HD1.avs")+Import("E:\HD2.avs")+Import("E:\HD3.avs")

Load the new script into MeGUI and encode it.

You can also splice the source videos together using a single script but given you've already created the scripts you might as well use the above method. For future reference though:
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/AlignedSplice

If each source has it's own audio stream then encoding them as a single file by combining the scripts or joining them after encoding could give you sync issues which might require some messing around to fix, but I assume from your post you've already got a single audio stream to add to the three encodes, so it won't matter either way. If it'd be in sync after joining the three individual encodes it'll be the same when using the scripts to join them while encoding.

Sorry for this very stupid question;

Where is the "Clear Log" button? I can't find it.
I read in the change log this feature is already added on :

0.2.3.2122 10 April 2006
Commit by berrinam:
  - Support any filetype through directshow in AviSynth script creator
  - Make resize turn-off-able in AviSynth script creator
  - Automatically set AR on non-d2v loaded sources as well as d2v sources in AviSynth script creator
  - Add clear log button
  - Remove main-tab restriction on drag/drop

I don't get it. How do I prevent MeGUI from starting multiple jobs at once?

When I have multiple jobs in queue it always starts two jobs by pressing the 'start' button. Usually I avoid this by setting all jobs but one to postponed. Start the queue, then set the following jobs back to 'waiting'.

However, and this is new since a couple of updates, when MeGUI finished the first job in it's queue it does not start just the next one, it starts the next 2 jobs, which is not good. Especially when the next 2 jobs are for indexing, because it's way too much stress for my hard drive.

I've looked all over the options but can't find any setting to prevent this behaviour.

Do you have multiple workers set up?

Go to Workers -> Workers menu, do you see more than one?

If so, select the 2nd one and it will open a new window for the worker.

On this window, select Worker -> Delete Worker Now menu, then click Yes

That did the trick. Thank you!
