MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[detmek]

I tried the new build on original sample and two other samples. One of those has HE-AAC audio and in all cases detection is correct. Thanks Zathor.

P.S. This build doesn't have option to disable remuxing to intermediate MKV file. Are you going to commit that option soon in development build?

No ETA yet as the commit needs to be finalized.

Not all users need/want these changes, please let Zathor work with more important questions.

We must not overwhelm developers with minor issues under penalty of exhausting them.

doesn't matter. every user can ask for features. You can't decide which one is important and which no. Please, let zathor decide on which features work.

Some features are less important but sometimes easier to develop.

I get error very often when I try to encode from DVD extracted AC3 to MP4 using these settings:


The problem is that 50% it works and 50% it doesn't for various random AC3 files. For example this time I extracted two AC3's from same DVD, one encoded fine to .mp4 with no problem and this other one always gets error (i.e. Constant bitrate option works 100% all time).

There's log: https://pastee.org/ngv2u

Commandline used: -ignorelength -lc -br 192000

Output from encoder via stdout: ERROR: error while encoding frame

Thats hapens sometimes when NeroAacEnc can't encode some audio samples with the parameters required.

Don't use -lc to encode a 5.1 at 192 Kb/s, use -he instead to obtain better quality at this bitrate.

If you need LC use VBR q=0.35 to obtain the minimum bitrate using LC

Of course.

Like user I don't like some changes suggested and I don't need the others.

But like moderator I only want protect the developers. Seems you don't know the history about tired MeGUI developers.

The last decission is from Zathor, than can read the request and apply or not, without justify the decission.

How's that an excuse for NeroAacEnc that 'thats happens sometimes' to get errors? If there's settings for that method it should work. As I said it works with other stream from the dvd. Both streams same length, same channels, same size, same everything just different languages. One works and other doesn't because 'sometimes happens'? And q=0.35 gives waaay bigger sized .mp4 and I can't hear any difference in quality.

oh, my apologize. I didn't see you're a moderator.
However i don't know that history. I thought you're an user who don't want some features and stop xD

I don't like sliders for crf.

I don't need protections about bitrate and --vbv-maxrate, or useless crf values.

I don't want excuse NeroAacEnc, I only explain the problem and offer to you a solution.

One works and other doesn't because 'sometimes happens'?

Yes, a audio can be easy to compress and the other not, and crash if can't be compressed with LC with only 192 Kb/s

And q=0.35 gives waaay bigger sized .mp4 and I can't hear any difference in quality.

Then use -he method with more quality than -lc at this low bitrate.

The job has been cancelled. Now is there any way to get around and why it is doing this? Any help?

Sorry, my post was too unspecific - Which other features would you like to have in MeGUI? E.g. PCM/WAV output, ... If possible I will implement your feature wishes as a tribute for your work.

Does this file exists? F:\Wreck it Ralph 3D\New Folder\WRECK_IT_RALPH_3D\BDMV\STREAM\BDMV\PLAYLIST\00800.mpls

Maybe try selecting F:\Wreck it Ralph 3D\New Folder\WRECK_IT_RALPH_3D\BDMV instead of F:\Wreck it Ralph 3D\New Folder\WRECK_IT_RALPH_3D\BDMV\STREAM as a starting point.

@ rhaz:

You may also like to move from NeroAAC to QAAC (which requires an installed QuickTime, iTunes, or at least extracted CoreAudioToolbox libraries available). But I agree to let the encoder decide whether to create LC-AAC or HE-AAC (except the playback device doesn't support HC-AAC); and in general you should rather prefer a quality-based VBR mode instead of ABR (in case of QAAC, it is called "True VBR", a recommendable default value is in the range of ~70-90, documented in the HydrogenAudio forum, linked pic), both MP4 and MKV can handle that easily.

I forgot to update at an earlier stage. This program works for some movie files, may be of particular size, or streams. But not all. I tried that one too, instead of stream to its parent folder, but no luck. It just throws an exception, could not find it. I tried extracting using the program tsmuxergui, it works fine. I cannot use the streams extracted from tsmuxergui with MeGUI, I do not know why!

To be honest I never use MeGUI for my real work.

I use UsEac3to like GUI for eac3to to extract video and recode audios, DGIndexNV directly to index video, make my own avs file with some templates, run x264 with a .bat and mux with MkvMergeGUI.
And BeHappy when I need AviSynth for audio.

But follow these threads to see if I can help about AviSynth audio management or eac3to.

Maybe, for some users, a output to WAV (or W64 if output >4GB) can be interesting, PCM is useless.

Or a method to extract audio, and know Delay, from avi's, like AviMuxGUI can do manually. But I don't know how make that with a .amg.

The correct starting point folder when use eac3to (HD Streams Extractor) is:
F:\Wreck it Ralph 3D\New Folder\WRECK_IT_RALPH_3D

So why is PCM useless?

Beacause a .pcm file have the same audio data, in different order only, than a WAV/W64 file but don't have any header.

Without a header to specify Samplerate, Bithdepth and NumChannels a .pcm file can't be interpreted.

WAV/W64 is a container than can store PCM data, with a header to specify the needed parameters.

I did try that too. But no luck. I am trying to use UsEac3to6.7. It said please wait it is processing and never finished.

Thanks
