I updated megui the other day and all of a sudden I could not encode anymore. I keep getting this error message even though I have been using this settings before without problems. What am I doing to get such message?

Code:
Job commandline: "E:\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264.exe" --crf 18 --ref 16 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 16 --b-pyramid --bime --weightb --direct auto --filter 1,1 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "G:\01.d2v.mkv" "G:\hfyu01.d2v.avs" --aq-strength 0.5 --aq-sensitivity 11
E:\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264.exe: unknown option -- aq-sensitivity
BTW, does it matter where (position-wise) I place "--aq-strength 0.5 --aq-sensitivity 11" in the commandline?

Thanks

^ it shouldn't matter but i'd give it a go without those lines and see if it works. if it does work then that may mean your x264 build is not AQ patched.

you updated megui AND x264... but you modified your profile with --aq-sensitivity that is no longer supported by x264.
remove --aq-sensitivity.

when AQ was committed the AQ options became:
Code:
      --aq-mode <integer>     How AQ distributes bits [2]
                                  - 0: Disabled
                                  - 1: Avoid moving bits between frames
                                  - 2: Move bits between frames
      --aq-strength <float>   Reduces blocking and blurring in flat and
                              textured areas. [1.0]
                                  - 0.5: weak AQ
                                  - 1.5: strong AQ

Don't just paste a link use the Insert Link button, otherwise the forum will garble it up trying to shorten it (it puts ... in there), so your images are unreachable.

@francoeur - what version of avisynth are you using?

Just to troubleshoot for now, change your encoding settings to const. quality instead of 3pass

Were there errors/error logs?

Does you output "test.mp4" play at all? in VLC? Run mediainfo on that file, what does it say?

Well, 2 things to try:

1) DirectShowSource instead of AviSource. The later does some funky things on my machine, DSSource is far more reliable for me.

2) try using that command line that appears at the bottom of settings window in a DOS window (substituting full input/output filename paths of course), and see if x264.exe will do the same thing without MeGUI in the mix.

The following script of avisynth play well in MPC but it fails in megui

Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\DvdTools\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("d:\movies\ColorMatrix.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\DvdTools\filters\RemoveGrainSSE3.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\movies\VSFilter.dll")

mpeg2source("D:\movies\PrisionBreak\prision.d2v")
ColorMatrix("Rec.709->Rec.601",opt=0,hints=false,threads=0,InputFR=false, OutputFR=true)
crop(0, 2, 720, 568)
TextSub("D:\movies\PrisionBreak\21_down.ssa")
TextSub("D:\movies\PrisionBreak\21_up.ssa")
Lanczos4Resize(688, 384)
RemoveGrain(mode=2)
When I open it in megui, the window of preview appears, and when I close it, also closes megui window after 1 or 2 seconds.

The problem seems to reside in the version of Vsfilter. With the versions 2.38, 2.37, 2.36 does not work, with the version 2.35 it works.

What's wrong ?
It is normal this behavior.

Is there a way to encode cropped?

I have 1920x1088 Pixels which shall be reencoded to 1280x720.
Currently I use a simple resize which also includes, that the black lines (borders) in some/most movies are resized and reencoded.

Is there a way to encode "cropped" at lets say 1920*792 and let Megui or anything else add the borders so that the SA-compatibility is still given. (1280*720 Pixels Video)

I tried to render in Constant Quality as poisondeathtray suggested and it did the same thing. It only gave me an 138 ko file.

francoeur - you might want to upgrade to avisynth 2.5.7 or later, and try DirectShowSource instead of AviSource as lexor suggested

What OS are you using? (vista x64, etc..?)

Need profile for smooth seeking on play back.

I'm trying to encode dv footage of wakeboarding. We mainly use it for video coaching purposes so I need to be able to smoothly seek and framestep back and forward.

With MPC 6.4.9.0 I seem to be able to framestep forward with all the x264 profiles but not backwards. If I set both the Keyframe interval and Min. GOP size to 1 I can then use the seek bar to smoothly seek back and forth but still not the framestep back key and of cource I have to more than double the bit rate.

Is there a player/decoder that will smoothly seek back and forward with P and B framed material with 25 - 250 framed GOPs? (I'm decoding with ffdshow Sep 30 2006 20:19:55) I seem to be able to seek easyly with some profiles on a Mac and very slowly with a lot of CPU useage with CE Main profile in Quicktime on my PC.

Where do I download the "Editing only" profile for Megui? Could this be what I'm looking for or is this really a playback/decoder issue?


Thanks for any help in advance.
