yes... but autocrop() don't fail.

Why not to use it ?
Why to reinvent the wheel ?

just to report my previous question:
Updated to newer version of x264 but still got no clue on why the output file is bigger than the original, mp4 to mp4; using lower bitrate (audio/video) with same resolution & fps.
But I tried mediacoder and shrinked the file successfully.
It's just a few unusual cases anyway.

autocrop() (at default settings) may fail in other circumstancies.
we prefer it doesnt crop than that it crops too much.
however we included the possibility to do a visual manual crop... so i cant understand what you want more than that.

has anyone managed to work out what the equivelant of CQ 18 for the new AQ build? Even --CRF 22 gives out a pretty high bitrate

Sharktooth · 13th February 2008, 18:39

it's source dependant.
however you can disble aq by adding --aq-strenght 0

or

you can tweak the strength and/or sensitivity

Carpo · 13th February 2008, 20:33

is anyone else getting the error - you seem to be running vista can i ask you to update your .net - after installing vista sp1 ?

and its not from an illegal source, i got it from connect

Hello.

I have been using MEgui fro x264 conversions for atleast a month now and everything has been perfect untill one time the AVS creator couldn't analyse an avi I had. So I manually put in the settings and it converted. SO I think ok it must of been ion error in the AVI. Now today when I want to convert something the analyse button makes megui completly hang and megui hangs when importing an AVS. I have reinstalled megui, AVS and CCCP. ANy help here please?

Sharktooth · 14th February 2008, 13:51

@carpo: uninstall .net 3.5 and reinstall it.
crappy Vista SP1 is screwing a lot of stuff, even drivers...

Carpo · 14th February 2008, 20:07

it only did it twice and now its not doing it

cant say i have been having any issues with it, in fact the system seems faster - was hitting 99fps last night on an encode - so im happy

Nvm...I solved my problem. The Avi I created had errors in it (Computer problems...

)

vassie · 17th February 2008, 18:51

I have uninstalled and reinstalled .net 3.5 about 10 times now, and I am still being prompted to upgrade .net on my Vista SP1 machine.

Just a guess ... look at the "ProgramData" folder on your system HD (it's a hidden folder by default). Check the rights to it by right clicking it an choosing the properties. Under security there should be some entries about who has which rights to access the folder. In my case there were no entries. I put some in (Admin, system, ...) and the next time I tried to install, it worked. I found that problem in connection to another tool (nhancer).
Please ask someone (here on the forum or elsewhere), which groups should have which rights on that folder (I did just a guess ...)!

I have checked the permissions on that folder and they are fine, I guess this is a bug in MeGUI?

I haven't read all of this conversation, but are you running megui as Administrator? I got the same prompts over and over until I always started megui as Administrator.

This is going to be a terrible explanation but I'm going to try my best. I'm unable to encode using X264 or XVID. I get an error immediately when the encode starts but there is not an error output in the log. SNOW and LMP4 both work, not that I use them but for testing purposes they both work. Here is the script I'm trying to encode:

Code:

# Set DAR in encoder to 12187 : 5000. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 12187
global MeGUI_dary = 5000
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\Harry Potter\VTS_01_1.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#deinterlace
crop( 2, 58, 0, -64)
Spline36Resize(720,352)
RemoveGrain(mode=2)

Script plays fine in MPC HC. It's not just this script its any script will crash X264 and XVID. I just don't understand what could be causing this problem. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled MeGUI and AviSynth.

I am using the following:

Code:

[Information] Version information
-[NoImage] MeGUI Version : 0.3.0.1004
-[NoImage] OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
-[NoImage] Framework used : 2.0 SP1

Well I think I have this solved. I deleted all plugins in the plugin directory and it works. I think it was a conflict with AviSynth.dll in the plugin folder.

Carpo · 20th February 2008, 14:14

is a 64bit OS an option now with megui and all associated tools or is it still very much 32bit, i would like to go 64bit but need to know if all the programs i will use will work on there

You deleted all the .dll files in the Avisynth 2.5/plugins folder? Surely, that's not what you're saying, but I'm not understanding what you deleted.

That is correct. I deleted the .dll's and downloaded them using the MeGUI auto update.
