Encode source material without having to crop. For example, FRAPS'ed video at 1920x1080. x264 handles this fine, I don't see the purpose of preventing it in MeGUI.

could someone please answer my question?

You should be able to purloin the text for most of them from Crusty's FAQ.

Some things have changed of course, that I can help update if you can give me an initial draft.

Also any answer to these questions/suggestions?

You need to use AVS Cutter to generate the Cut file. See here for more info.

yes, this has been removed.

some parts of the code have changed between the 0.2.xxx and the 0.3.xxx. It should be reintroduced soon.

The audio that I extracted from the video is an mp3 file at 128 kbps, and I did this avs cutter thing, by loading the avs file and selecting the part that I wanna cut from the video then I saved the cuts file(video and audio) but when i try to cut the audio it gives me an error and it just says that error

unknownsoldierX · 25th May 2008, 22:15

I get this error when I open a m2ts file in the AviSynth Script Creator. The video opens, but then this pops up. I do not get any errors when I open the file in the main menu.

~bT~ · 25th May 2008, 22:33

what's in the m2ts file? video type?

And what does it say in the MeGUI log? Did you check that? But if you just want to cut an mp3 file, you can also use BeSplit (that's what the Audio Cutter uses) directly or mp3DirectCut.

Please help me out. The screen shots are in page 108, the forum won't allow me to reattach them. Thanks a lot.

Sorry if already reported, I am in a little hurry...

Bug in MeGUI 0.3.0.1004: If you select the video encoding mode "Const. Quantizer", on a german Windows XP (using the comma as LOCALE dependent decimal separator) you get the x264 command line option "--qp ##,0", where the ",0" may be a fractional part, although a quantizer would usually be integer. And the spin control contains only an integer. This command line option confuses x264: "invalid argument: qp = ##,0"

In "Const. Quality" mode instead, the spin control shows a fractional number and spins in tenths, displaying a comma as (LOCALE dependent) decimal separator in the spin edit and the command line option "--crf ##.#" with decimal dot (the usual english number notation, as expected) - so this mode works well.

A few small questions.

1. Is MeGUI compatible with Avisynth 2.5.8 RC1?
2. In the audio encoding options in MeGUI, I use Nero Digital AAC. SO, I use one of the NDAAC profiles. In the config of any of those profiles, there's 3 options to upmix 2 channel to 5.1 using various methods. None of them work for me. I queue it, start it, and then it immediately stops and says "error". In the log, it doesn't tell me what the error is. So I suppose my question is, why doesn't the 2 channel to 5.1 options work?

I'm sorry that I can't help you with question #2 since it sounds like an interesting venture but I know that AVISynth 2.5.8 works with MeGUI.

some directshow filters are missing probably...

Because padding pixels manually is always worse than encoding in non-mod16?

I doubt that you can open m2ts files in the main menu (or we don't have the same build)...

about your problem : try to rename it (00000.m2ts to my_file.m2ts) and load it once again.

there is a warning pop-up message when you have this case and the possibility to bypass it (just check the box).

I can't remove this warning because it's also used for the other encoders (xvid, snow...).

To clarify, I open an AVS file on the main menu, not the m2ts file.

I renamed the file to myfile.m2ts and I get the same error when I try to open it in the script creator. Also, I forgot to mention, two Haali Media Splitter icons pop up in the system tray.
