2644 [HD Streams Extractor] added IDX/VobSub as unsupported format
2643 [x264]                 adjusted "--preset slow" settings (requires x264 2721+). Bug #855
2642 [L-SMASH Indexer]      blocked the VC-1 codec as it is not properly supported anymore. Bug #851

Zathor: As always,

Also, if anyone finds it useful, L-SMASH Indexer works with VC-1 video if the video (only the video, no audio) is muxed as a .ts file (using tsMuxeR) then indexed with L-SMASH. I don't know why this works but it does (I've been doing this successfully for several years). Out of paranoia I demux the video to raw .vc1 (using the HD Steams Extractor) then remux it with tsMuxeR, but it might work otherwise, too.

Mhm, I have to test that. But in any case even if it works that way that is far from being optimal as I would always have to include steps to remux it.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

I agree that it's not very practical and isn't really doable within MeGUI, I just posted the information in case someone found it useful (since it's a way to still use MeGUI for the encoding) .

[tebasuna51]

When you use 'HD streams extractor tool' to extract the video muxed as .mkv, eac3to need Haali Matroska Muxer.

But you can extract (Extract As) that video as elementary video stream .h264, and now you don't need Haali Matroska Muxer.

[j8ee]

Thanks, and I also wanted the developers to know that megui's default settings produce errors.

[Zathor]

Thanks, but which default settings produce errors? Do you mean that the external tool is not properly installed?

For some functions the haali splitter is needed. You have that twice in the log. It cannot be installed by MeGUI as for that administrative permissions are required. MeGUI will not perform such actions automatically, but you will be informed that it is required.

Also not all eac3to use cases need the splitter.

[LigH]

I would even doubt that TransportStreams with AAC audio are very common. I guess a surveillance camera may produce that. But I don't know any consumer media format for cinematic movies offering such a combination.

[sneaker_ger]

AAC in TS is used for TV broadcast in some regions so it shouldn't be that uncommon. (German DVB-T2 specs require HE-AAC player support as well)

The HD Streams Extractor tool's.

I wouldn't know, I'm just an end user that hasn't changed any of the settings of that tool.

Even if it's rare with AAC in ts, other people than me will end up with this problem too, for sure. Maybe doing it the same way as it's done with the Nero AAC encoder, that a popup informs you of a separate and manual download in some part of the configuration? At least a more informative log message would be useful, one that informs you that something needs to be installed manually, and preferably how.

[Zathor]

Ok, I will add something.

[hello_hello]

It'd be a large post, because it was a detailed feature request, so rather than copy and paste it here I'll paste a link to the feature request on SourceForge.... if anyone would care to read it, comment there or here, and/or offer further suggestions, or tell me it's a silly idea... but I think it has potential and others may come up with better ideas for implementing it, or for implementing something similar.

Its a suggestion for making it easier to add custom filters to a script via the script creator and to enable and disable them via the GUI, and a method of working around the problem of adding custom filters to a script manually, only to have MeGUI re-write the entire script if you change something in the script creator GUI.

Hi

I get this error, v.2624 works OK on those files.

Current MeGUI UI is ugly in high DPI settings in Windows 10.

Could you release a build with DPI aware?

It's quite simple, just uncomment following code in app.manifest and rebuild it.

<!--
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true</dpiAware>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
-->

Maybe there's more to it than that? I don't know for sure, but from the changelog:

2609
removed the DPI aware flag (requires Windows Vista+)
The application will now look blurry when using 150+% DPI but all controls are visible

Known Problems:
- Windows XP and older is not supported
- Unicode is not supported
- non default DPI values are not supported
