No one?

I can partially answer the last question re standalone support: Stick with standard matrices (Megui does by default & AutoGK's ESS compat mode ensures similar); also no GMC or QPel. The latter required a change to Megui's XVid profiles.

You probably need stronger denoising if the presets aren't getting you where you want to go. Then again, they're made for a minimum of medium-high quality, there are no truly mid/low-quality, low-rate presets.

Did you check the automatic threads option in megui's settings?

I have a VC1 File - its a demuxxed EVO .
I want to create a AVS for MeGui .
ffdshow is installed .
I went to avs script creator and chose the VC1 File . An now nothing happens ....... Or does it take a long time for reading the VC1 file ?? It has 16 Gigabyte

create an avs script manually typing:

DirectShowSource("filename.ext")

and save it as filename.avs
open it with MPC or other DS players and check if it works.
if it does, open it with megui and proceed normally.

no DSS is autoloaded. im not practical with VC-1 but maybe remuxing the VC-1 stream to WMV or some other container will make DSS work, depending on the parsers you have installed (WMV for sure...).

You'll probably have to figure out how to get a working avisynth script before you can use MeGUI, no HD experts here. The decryption and containers forums would have much more information on it.

The problem was definitely the max quantiser settings in the xvid profiles. Upping them from 5 to 10 sorted it, though so high a limit might be slight overkill - then again, xvid won't use high values if it doesn't need them.

I was just wondering why the preset values didn't seem to fit with the declared purpose of the profile (compress to xx% of source) & also why there wasn't a lower quailty option allowing bitrates one typically sees in one cd rips.

Automatic?... Ah, I didn't see that. Oops. Thanks. I assume that overides the codec specific config? Shame the auto setting isn't codec specific, though x264 has its own auto setting. Cheers, I'll experiment.

I'd be interested to know why Megui auto threads selects the numbers it does for xvid & a quad core. Any devs able to comment? I'll see if I can get better performance with other values.

Thanks for the reply.

Mewiki updated with the new secret knock you have to give, press a couple buttons, set the custom matrix to the hidden keyword, open a portal to the fifth dimension, etc...

The last of which is expanding the window from the lower-right corner to uncover it. Apparently the main window needs to enforce a minimum size somehow, I wonder if the property for that works with scalable fonts.

Ok, thanks, I found it. In input window in audio options I chosen ND AAC with MP4 extension, but after I pressed AutoEncode button extension changed to m4a. Is it normal?

OK, I've unchecked that & xvid is now using one less thread than whatever I configure it with in the xvid dialogue, which is fine.

I've now set it to 12 which gives me around 90% cpu usage 1st pass & 95% 2nd pass; diminishing returns after that.

Are there any serious quality issues with a high thread number & xvid? How about stability?

Lastly, for the devs, why does Megui (when configured to auto set the thread count) request as many threads as there are cores? Any good reason?

No point in approving the attachment, since it's the same error.

The job list updater didn't fire properly, you have to manually remove your old jobs, or put them elsewhere for the time being.

i backed up the jobs and restarted megui and updated to 1023. After that i placed the jobs back in the same folder and restarted megui, the error still pops up. Which means if there are any jobs in the folder, it refuses to start. Can any1 fix this?
