It's still the same story. Nothing is going to happen after I hit the start button. Just an encoding status window pops up, but there's no activity at all. The calling event for loading the avs-script produced an error message. Is it the problem you referred to in your posting? And I need to set the output file manually.
Here's the commandline produced by mencoder: Code:
Next job job1 is a video job. encoder commandline: "C:\Programme\Videobearbeitung\MPlayer\mencoder.exe" "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\akw\Eigene Dateien\test.avs" -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=700:max_key_interval=300:vhq=1:chroma_me:trellis:lumi_mask:interlacing:rc_reaction_delay_factor=16:rc_averaging_period=100 -o "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\akw\Eigene Dateien\test.avi" -of avi -ffourcc XVID successfully set up video encoder and callbacks for job job1 This is really weird... but thanks anyway!!!

I know it's very picky! But the avs-script works fine with version 0.2.3.1023. The preview works fine. And the MPC also plays the avs-script. So I don't think there's an issue with the avs. If you wanna have a look at the script, I'll post it.

Ok, we need to dissect the problem a bit more.
When you start the queue, press ctrl-alt-del and go to the Processes tab of the Task Manager. Is mencoder listed there, and if so, is it doing any work (look at the CPU%)? Are you able to run other encoders, like x264, with meGUI? |

Ok, here we go! Mencoder ist listed there, it starts to work for 1 or 2 seconds before it seems to get stuck. CPU-Usage 0-2%. That's odd. And I tried several versions of mencoder. Generic builds and also k7-because I've got an Athlon XP CPU. When I hit abort in the job-list or in the status window, the windows does not close. I need to close the whole application (MeGUI) or just click the status window that it disappears.
I tried it with x264 and it worked fine for me. Alternatively I gave it a try with a directshowsource command in my avs-script to see whether that's gonna work or not. Code:
DirectShowSource("C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\...\Eigene Dateien\04VB.wmv",audio=false,video=true) ConvertToYV12() Quote:

The avisynth version won't matter as long as it's over 2.55.
The commandline is formed correctly and the mencoder thread is being started, but I suspect it's hanging when mencoder tries to report back to meGUI, though this works fine on my machines (and this is the first time someone has reported such a problem). Try running it with the progress window closed (an option in settings). If this doesn't work, we need to add some more debugging code to see what's failing. |

I'm actually trying it with MeWIG and mencoder works fine.
Ok, I'll give it a try the way you suggested it. I've got .net framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed. It possible that interferes? Quote:

Mine the problem started when I use MeGUI 0.2.3.1b (haven't update yet) and I couple it up with the latest mencoder with Xvid 1.2 dev and the 1st pass is not even working. When I switch back to mencoder with Xvid 1.1.0Beta 2, it works....

Hi, so you think the newer xvid version causes your problems then? Hmmm, I i have xvid 1.1.0-cvs from 9/12/2005 installed. And got mencoder not working under MeGUI.

Also, you quoted me above but forgot your reply Can you have a look at the stats file? How many frames does mencoder encode? And could you capture all stdout and stderr output when running mencoder from the commandline and attach here so we can see what MeGUI sees as feedback from mencoder. Since you report it starts up properly but then does nothing, this isn't so much a problem of events propagating back to the GUI rather than reading stdout and process that data I suspect. Event routing has a try/catch in it so if there were a problem updating the progress window, you'd notice an error message in the logs.

Sorry, I can't resist.. nobody spends 30 minutes and doesn't find if a search on "megui download" yields the result in the first thread. If you said two minutes, maybe but even that's pushing it.. search engines were created so that you can search, and check out at least the 10 first links.. and if you didn't find anything after that, okay, it happens.

First of all thanks for your reply. Ok, now to your question, if I can handle a debugger. I have a little experience with programming VB .Net. Just a tiny little bit though, because I've just started to learn . But I think I should be able to debug it with your (detailed) instructions. Where to set the breakpoints and which methods to step through. So let's give it a try.

As far as debugging goes, you'll want to look at the method mencoderEncoding() in VideoEncoder.cs and set a breakpoint at the line Code:
line = sr.ReadLine(); // reads a line from stdout I think if you do that, we'll get real close to the problem rather quickly.

Ok, I am not a newbe. Every link I found using a search tool pointed me back to this thread including Video Help, DivX Digest and such. I am not looking for the source just the executable. http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...GGL:en&q=megui The first post has links to: --.Net Framework --Avisynth --x264 --besweet (very nice) --mp4box --mkvtoolnix --DCMPGDec and links for just the MeGui x264 and Snow edition. I wanted to try MeGui with XVID so I did not think these were the right files. When I go to Sharktooth site. It has two files with a .7z extension on them (wouldn't know what to do with those) and the other two files are: MeGui-Src*.rar which look like source files to me. Regardless; with your exceptional guidance I was able to download the source code and get it to compile. |

well, if you get to Sharktooth's site, you're already there. 7z is just another compression format, that Winrar can handle (or 7zip can handle as well. there's a bunch of tools that can handle it.. but I suspect most people who handle rar use Winrar for it since it's the native tool.. since version 3.x Winrar can handle 7zip archives (open, but not create)).
So this is the latest compiled version: http://files.x264.nl/Sharktooth/forc...0.2.3.1023b.7z .. as I said, it's the only one without src in the filename. Though I admit, it would make much more sense to put the source in a separate directory so you'd only have one file in the main directory. I'm going to suggest that to Sharktooth. I'm afraid as long as I'm taking a break from development, I can't make things as easy as they used to be since I'm no longer distributing anything myself. That may change again in the future but I'm booked till the end of the year.

Ok here's my question.I want to use MEGui to encode videos for psp.I have got the profiles and i see the PD-PSP one.I want to ask:Will i have better results if i enable rd0 2 instead of rdo?
Also what will i gain if i enable B-frame pyramid,i8x8 and lossless quantitizer. And lastly will i get better results if i load a custom matrix?What are custom matrices anyway? |
