I was just wondering if I prefer to use 1pass Const. Quality (x264), but at the same time would like to have it be compatible with many players, or at least as many as possible, what settigns might I need to take into consideration of changing in order to have best playback playability for DVD Players/Consoles/iPhone.

The settings I currently use are:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/w5zo8o

I know there are 2-pass presets that do this, but I prefer to use 1pass as I don't mind for the size output.

Thanks.

You must use the lowest denominator for the various devices you want to use. You will have to go through the specifications of each device and check what it can play, and encode for the least advanced one.

I setup a new rig to encode faster, on my 1st job I noticed the 2nd pass is more than twice as fast as the 1st (17fps vs 7fps). Using AVCHD preset (x264), turbo checked. On my old rig the 1st pass was always a lot faster than the 2nd pass, what am I doing wrong.

Source is from HDTV capture. here is the AVS file

DGDecode_mpeg2source("movie.d2v", info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
tfm(order=1).tdecimate()
crop( 0, 134, 0, -130)
AddBorders(0, 134, 0, 130)

It is a bug of megui, turbo is not working.

I see, bah, if going by least advanced, the quality output probably isn't really worth it I suppose.

Sorry for this rather OT question, but has anyone of you heard about SharkTooth lately, is he OK, taking a break, or is he in not so good condition ?

@Betsy25: There was a link and I forget where but Sharktooth is on Summer Break so there are no updates made to MeGUI through him currently.

I can reproduce this bug every time:

Go to x264 config
Load default
Choose "2pass - 1st pass" mode
Check "Turbo" option
--ref 1, --subme 2 and a few others are added to the command line.
De-activate Turbo and they're still there.

I have checked Apply Dynamic Range Compression, Downmix multichannel to stereo (or keep original channels), Keep original sample rate and Normalize Peaks to 100%.
I don't have this problem if i check Force Decoding via DirectShow.
Does anyone know what is the problem?

The problem is the non standard audio input:
Code:

 Channels: 5
...
NeroAacEnc don't support 5 channels and exit.

If you want downmix to 2 channels, DRC and Normalize you can use this avs script like MeGUI audio input:
Code:
NicAc3Source("C:\MeGUI Output\VTS_01_1 T80 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3", Channels=2, DRC=1)
Normalize()

As far as I know. Nero AAC does support multichannel audio input and output. And I have the same problem even if I set Downmix multichannel to stereo.
OK. I will do more tests and try to convert this audio to multichannel AAC with different tool to AAC and I will try your script.

Thanks. Your script works. Btw. I tried with OGG without your script and it doesnt work eather.
This is log.

Sorry. It works with OGG. I just forgot that I put old Lancer version in MeGUI tools folder.

Don't support 5.0.
If you want multichannel you can insert a empty LFE channel using this avs file:
Code:
a=NicAc3Source("C:\MeGUI Output\VTS_01_1 T80 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
f=GetChannel(a, 1, 2)
c=GetChannel(a, 3)
l=GetChannel(a, 3).Amplify(0)
b=GetChannel(a, 4, 5)
MergeChannels(f, c, l, b)
Quote:
And I have the same problem even if I set Downmix multichannel to stereo.
The (abbreviated) line in the script:
6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereo:last
only work for 6 or more channels, then MeGUI can't Downmix 5.0 to 2.0, but NicAc3Source can do it (Channels=2)

Quote:
Btw. I tried with OGG without your script and it doesnt work eather.
Same problem than aac.
Use GetChannel(last,1,3,2,5,6,4) in previous avs if you want ogg multichannel output.

Edit: forget last question:
Quote:
Bits per sample: 32 -Is this means that my audio is 32bit instead 16bit?
The NicAudio decoders output always 32 bits float to preserve the maximum accurate.
The lossy formats (mp3,ac3,dts,aac,ogg) don't have a bitdepth defined, the quality measure is the bitrate.

Edit 2: Because your edit:
Quote:
Sorry. It works with OGG. I just forgot that I put old Lancer version in MeGUI tools folder.
Warning, If you have a 5.0 ogg file the channel map is wrong because
6==Audiochannels(last)?GetChannel(last,1,3,2,5,6,4):last
don't work, if you want a 5.0 ogg file you need:
Code:
a=NicAc3Source("C:\MeGUI Output\VTS_01_1 T80 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
5==Audiochannels(last)?GetChannel(last,1,3,2,4,5):last

Thank you very much. So, the problem was 5 channel audio. It did work with DirectShow because FFDShow is set to stereo output.
I just tried to convert another DVD with 6-channel audio and AAC works just fine keeping all 6 channels.
Thanks again.:-)

This is my first attempt using MeGui and I have no idea why I'm getting this error. Also when I play the avs in Media Player Classic, the video playback is extremely jumpy. Any help will be appreciated.

I tried with 2 different profiles and got this log. Thanks.
I think you should update your x264.exe...

Thanks, I did and that solved the problem but when encoding the first pass took as long as second. From what I've been reading that shouldn't be the case.

[NoImage] Job commandline: "E:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\x264\x264.exe" --profile high --level 4.1 --preset fast --pass 2 --bitrate 4799 --stats "M:\CROCK3\T2_Video - _0.stats" --thread-input --b-pyramid --ref 5 --no-mbtree --me umh --subme 8 --partitions all --no-fast-pskip --output "M:\CROCK3\T2_Video - _0.mkv" "M:\CROCK3\T2_Video - .avs"

Is there a way to reduce the time for my first pass?

Hi there!

Enable the Turbo next to mode? In the window you see below the --slow-firstpass should dissapear when you enable Turbo.
If it works, I don't know.

I've noticed, a click on Megui's "Load Default" changes settings that are default as stated in the MeWiki which I use often for reference.
Maybe it's like that even when Megui is just installed.. don't know.

bpyramid & mbtree in Megui is also not like the default preset settings.


For example, I've run 100 jobs thinking mbtree was enabled, but it wasn't. At least Megui did not disable b-pyramid when a preset with it was selected (I hope so).
b-pyramid has to be disabled or is disabled if mb-tree is used, right?
Maybe this is hard to force in Megui settings (switching b-pyramid off if mbtree is on) Explains, why there are not many new MeGui updates 'cause they wait until b-pyramid and mbtree works together?

Best wishes, I hope I did not write too much trash in my first post.
