with mencoder there are no problems at all - progress window works and closes after the job is finished...
here's the logfile for MeGui 0.2.0.0 with x264.exe after aborting by hand...

i see your point, and it's sad that we are apperantly in minority ...
about handling a debugger: i don't know anything about it

Edit: in the meantime i uninstalled (completely) and reinstalled .net framwork 1.1 ... but the problems exist like before....

I've compiled a list with all the info collected on the progress window. Please help fill the blanks

other pw closes: yes
status updates non x264.exe: yes
x264clireader works: yes
redirect stderr works: yes

explanation: pw = progress window
x264 process still present after encoding refers to encoding using MeGUI.. check the task manager.
redirect stderr works: <your x264.exe commandline> 2> stderr.txt gives you a file where you can see the progress reports
progress in cli: running x264.exe from the commandline with the --progress option set shows the encoding progress.

maybe still a bug:
when you reencode an automated 2pass job (by double click them to change the done state to waiting), after you press start and the 1st-pass job done, the 2nd-pass job don't run while the text of the 'stop' button is still 'stop' (while the time nothing is encoding)
and when you press 'stop', the 2nd-pass job encodes, and if more jobs are waiting, they will be encoding one by one, as usual.

@odyn1982: could you fill out the remaining blanks.. and could you run a .net ide to debug (dbgview seems to show x264.exe working) where things go wrong? I do have some lingering suspcions but taking shots out in the dark takes a lot of time. I'd really like to know what is going on. Obiously, if x264.exe is run on the commandline and doesn't produce any progress info.. that ends the whole status update issue and I just have to ensure that the "job done" message comes back. But where those updates are available, it should be possible to get a working progress report during encoding.

hmm.. I just realized debugview also works with managed languages, too. So rather than dumping stuff in the log I'll start adding Trace commands in the next build so people can simply run dbgview and have it listen to the output of my app. Still if anybody affected has the VS IDE that would also help immensely.. I can guide you through the steps setting everything up and running the software.

@absinthe, kurt: since you're not getting any progress reports from x264.exe even when launching it in the commandline with the --progress parameter, you might want to report that in the x264 development thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=80910 as the problem is clearly somewhere in between your computer and x264.

Doom9,
I also get only this progress window:

Then I abort the job and get this logfile:
Quote:
Next job job1 is a video job. encoder commandline:
"x264.exe" --bitrate 700 --subme 4 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --progress --no-psnr --output "D:\MeGUI\1111.mp4" "D:\MeGUI\qwe.avs"
successfully set up video encoder and callbacks for job job1
When I copy the "x264.exe" --bitrate 700 --subme 4 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --progress --no-psnr --output "D:\MeGUI\1111.mp4" "D:\MeGUI\qwe.avs" from log to CMD, encoding goes normally:

This happens only with x264cli... mencoder works fine.

There is no problem with the progress bar it only take its time to update so i got my first info after 5 minutes sometimes it could take 10min then it updates every 3-4 minutes one, realy i do not care as long as it give me the correct fps and remaining time,so i think it is somthing about the priority of the threads, the cpu usage for x264 is 100%.I tried and made the priority of megui high even realtime but nothing happend, there is no problem with mencoder.So any one have aproblem abot the progerssbar take your time and see Anyway here is my log file

Now the real problem is I can not encode in raw format when use x264.exe beacuse megui always set file extension in the command line to mp4 not 264 as it must be.

Sorry for my realy horrible english.

@namchik: since you don't get any progress reports running x264.exe manually it is also an issue for the x264 development thread. Hopefully that one can be sorted out along with the problems certain people have that seem to be my doing (x264.exe gives progress reports but MeGUI doesn't).

falcon2000eg makes an interesting point. Actually I have noted this too.. unlike mencoder, x264.exe only writes a progress report after a certain number of frames have been encoded. So far I have found no rule as to which interval is used (it seems to fluctuate). Perhaps this might also be the reason why certain people don't get any progress reports on the commandline. Looking at the log you posted, you get the first progress report after only 191 frames.. and since I wait for 10 progress reports.. you know the time it takes for an update. I might do this differently in the future though, comparing the frame number of two reports and if the distance is more than 10 (the value used for mencoder which makes a report for every frame it encodes) then fire a status update immediately. I normally get status updates in MeGUI in intervals that vary between 50 and several hundred frames.

OK when I run x264clireader I get this:

C:\tools\megui>x264CLIReader.exe
12:18:11 PMStarted x264.exe and the stdout and stderr readers
12:18:11 PM line received: avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
12:18:11 PM line received: could not open input file 'input.avs'
12:18:11 PMx264.exe has quit. Exiting now

So stderr works??

Yup.. you're not one of the unlucky fews..

Yup, I meant that. I'll add a load of trace commands in the next version and have you all run debugview while encoding.. unless somebody who knows C# comes around and has that same problem within the next few hours.

I cannot reproduce that. I set up an automated twopass job, encoded it, changed both jobs back to waiting and encoded.. both jobs are being redone that way.

megui 2nd pass prob

using the .2 release of the gui, all up to date software required for it. worked for the first movie i encoded, but now it hangs on the 2nd pass, while it says processing in the window i checked task manager and x264 isnt running, this is in auto mode 2 pass. i aborted then reloaded the avs and tried again, same issue. unzipped main files again on main and 2nd comp, hangs on both comps. gonna del everything from the gui folder and try again. if needed i have the log avail.

thanks doom9 for this great program
