Zelenin or Dal: can you try this exe and see if it fixes your problem with the culture parsing of the modifier values:

Yes, it's work!

Thanks zelenin!

Zathor: can you update this line of code

Code:

qualityCodecModifiers.Add(mod.Split('=')[0], float.Parse(mod.Split('=')[1]);

to this

Code:

qualityCodecModifiers.Add(mod.Split('=')[0], float.Parse(mod.Split('=')[1], 
                  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

Thanks!

Yes, it seems to work fine now.

I thank you!

Hi:

I've tried to use oneclick for blurays movies. I have a main movie stream .m2ts as input file

When using oneclick megui tries to create a d2v file (idx, from 0000.m2ts to 0000.d2v), not a dgi file as when using file indexer, and then stops in error.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there an option to use oneclick fot HD streams?

Thanks!

Note: I have licensed neuron2 dgindexnv

I havent used MeGUI now some time and Upated today.

Now i have one strange thing...

I have a .TS File (h264 50 fps + ac3 file) 2 hrs 30 approx...

I used Neurons DGIndexNV (2009) to Index it.

Now the Big Problem:

When i start AVI Script Creator and load that DGI File .... a looooooooooooooooong Time nothing happens.

Up to 2-3 Minutes.

Then i can do all cropping/resizing things and save the AVS.

Then AGAIN i have to wait upto 3 minutes until MeGui becomes aviable again. After loading Audio and pressing "Auto Encode" ....

Same thinggy again... 2-3 minutes until i can choose my Bitrates.

Guess what? .... Continuing does same...2-3 Minutes until MeGui comes Aviable to start Cue.

Starting the Encode i have to wait 5 minutes until even the Status Window pops up... not speaking of again waiting then 5 minutes until it really starts encode. (pass 1).... I guess on Part 2 same thing.

Im Not sure if this is a fault of DGToolsNV or MeGui...
I remember that i got the same behaviour with an older Version of the DGToolsNV when using DGMultiSource.....

So what to do?

Chris

Code:

0.3.4.15
- DGIndexNV will use DGMultiSource instead of DGSource as default setting
- [JobControl] fixed a crash if an unknown job type is used
- [JobControl] old D2V and DGI jobs will be updated
- [BitrateCalculator] add 1½ DVD target size and adjust others to safe values. 
      Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)
- [BitrateCalculator] fix calculation accuracy by total file size and by BPP to account for 
      constant video overhead. Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)
- [BitrateCalculator] simplify audio bitrate inspection to assume bitrate from video duration 
      and audio file size. Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)

No, at the moment "One-Click" can only be used with D2V.

thank you for your great job, keeping megui alive, zathor!
a long time i didn't open the bitrate calculator, but today i have to say, it's very well thought out logically! if i want to encode multiple streams for a blu ray, i have to use a tiny exel sheet to set the same video bitrate for all streams. but this sheet doesn't calculate very accurate (m2ts overhead is complicated to calculate for me). maybe you could extend megui's bitrate calculator for multiple video streams, if it is possible and less complicated.

I had to downgrade to 0.3.4.14, with this version MeGUI doesn't open anymore, stays loaded in memory and shows the icon on the taskbar. I tried to click on the icon but nothing shows up... Tried a full reinstall without success, the only thing that "solved" was downloading the 0.3.4.14 .exe file.

0.3.4.15 works for me

MOS-Marauder · 6th June 2010, 12:20

Works here, too.

Thx Zathor!

Please try to delete the user.config file. I assume that the window location is somehow wrong. You can find the file in the user profile (e.g. for W7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\www.doom9.net)

Yes, that worked out

Thanks.

I got a new HTC EVO on friday. I am trying to put together some HD video files it can play. It has HDMI output for 720p video and a 720p camcorder built in.

Very little is known about the internal capabilities but looking at an output file from the camcorder, it creates files with extension 3GP and mediainfo reports the video codec as mpeg-4 3GPP.

Is it possible to create such files with MeGUI? If not, can someone recommend a tool that can?

doc_dvxm · 7th June 2010, 09:50

0.3.4.15 works fine for me.

Thanx to all of you guys keeping meGUI stay alive

The matching ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll Version 0.85.5.452 seems to be missing from the 0.3.4.15 development.zip.
Trying an older version of this dll results in the same error.
Where can I get this dll if I intend to make a virgin setup from the development package ?

--profile and --level should remain a part of basic x264 settings.

and i think evo 4g supports h264 video, level 3.1, ref 3, and profile baseline and aac audio in a mp4 container.

edit
i'd like to add too that i think the new complexity slider is a waste of space, because asking a novice to judge the complexity of a video is inherently flawed. just saving previous settings or a slider for selecting crf values would be much more worthwhile additions imho. basically i just find it to be more confusing then helpful. running a --crf ? --pass 1 --slow-firstpass...outputting to a file and saving the stats is the better way to judge compressability and dealing with the occasional unwelcome result of a crf encode.

edit2 to make it more clear.

if target filesize after first pass is greater than or less than specified values, automatically run the 2nd pass adjusting the bitrate and overwriting the previous file.

Emulgator · 7th June 2010, 15:29

Many thanks, Zathor !

Rat Killer · 9th June 2010, 12:53

Thanks quantum5uicid3! Tried and those setting worked PERFECTLY the first try. WOOT!

Now I cannot wait to get the hdmi cable for this phone. Amazing for a pda/phone.

Next question, is there a way to extract tracks from an mp4 in meGUI? eac3to does not handle extraction from mp4 so the hd stream extractor does not work on mp4s. mp4box can do it from a command line, just did not see a way inside meGUI to do it. If its not there, any chance it could be added?
