It's on a completely different thread... How the hell am I supposed to know that you already had this discussion with somebody else?

And yes, I could have searched through the forums (wasting far more time than the 5 seconds it would have taken you to answer it) but my question was a simple one and your answer should have been a polite one. I believe that this is the appropriate thread anyway, as it was something related to MeGUI updating not DGAVCDec itself.

By the way, that's one long trip home...

Little bug report.
If I start MeGui -> open x264 configuration dialog -> set Const. Quality 0.1 and then switch to Const. Quantizer, I get this error:


UPD: the same when I click on Lossless checkbox instead of swithing to Const. Quantizer.

That's not MeGUI's fault, you have a crap computer, probably crap memory !

I have created a custom x264 profile (2-Pass) in MeGUI. However, I would like pass 1 to be slightly different than pass 2, but every time I make changes to pass 1, save it, then fix pass 2, pass 1 gets overwritten and becomes identical to pass 2. Anyway to fix this?

If you don't want to use the same settings for both passes or turbo you have to create a seperate profile for each of the passes.

Alright, I created 2 profiles, one for each pass. I'm assuming you have to overwrite the --output NUL statement for pass 1, so that you actually have an output, which you have to set up as your input for the 2nd pass?

You'd think there'd be an easier way to have different settings for each pass...hopefully the MeGUI developers will design a way to do this in a later revision.

You don't need to store the output of pass 1. The input of pass 2 is the same as it was for pass 1. It is the stats file which stores the information needed for pass 2.

Ok so then I can set up pass 1 with the .avs input I have and not care about the output (job 1). Then I can setup pass 2 with the same .avs input, but this time i'll get an output and it'll automatically use the .stats file created from pass 1? Also, can I queue pass 1 and pass 2 at the same time, or do I have to wait for pass 1 to complete, before I can setup & run pass 2?

m2ts has an overhead of 7% (near) of total size , while avi/mkv is something like 24 bytes for frames

So if it s VC-1 stream i must calculate like this formula
Total size 1400MB - 7%MB (98MB), so total size in megui must be cca 1302MB?

If it s h264 or AVC stream in mkv or m2ts the calculated file size is ok in output file xvid, avi.

I have trouble only with VC-1 streams.

m2ts has simply a huge overhead and since bitrate calc still doesnt support m2ts you should take that 7% into account.

Weird issue: Using the same versions of MEGUI and identical x264 profiles on two different computer, I get different qualities from the same vobs I am trying to encode. AVS scripts and D2V were created in the same exact manner on the different PCs. But my old Dell 1.5ghz 1GB ram Radeon 9500 does a cleaner, better looking encode than my Q6600 2GB ram 8800gts, although the Q6600 finishes much faster than the Dell. I am a newb at encoding, so I have no clue why the quality varies between my two comps.

Are you sure you're using the same x264 profiles? One small change like --partitions none and --partitions all can make a huge difference in quality and encoding time.

So you use the same decoder for the encoding
and the same decoder for playback on both machines?
Which decoder for playback; deblocking en/disabled?
Same bitrate, same filesizes of your encoded files?
To much variables to guess without log files and avisynth scripts....

In addition, I'd say compare both encodes on the same machine...
