You are using an AVI input container. MeGUI currently cannot extract the audio track from that container and therefore it must be converted.
Workaround: Convert your file in a MKV with mkvmerge (MeGUI\tools\mkvmerge\mmg.exe - just drag & drop your file into it and hit "start muxing")
Use this file as input in OneClick.

Um, how can I use the latest megui without needing to install that portable avs? I have avs 2.6 MT installed for using multithreaded qtgmc.

You wrote the script manually, so you are responsible for its dependencies. Not MeGUI.
"associated with" = "megui has open handles on those files", just to clear up the confusion

When I encode DVDs, avs contains (most used settings scenario):

SetMemoryMax(1024)
SetMTMode(5, 4)
LoadPlugin("path\dgmpgdec158\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source(***)
SetMTMode(2)
QTGMC(settings)
SelectEven()
Crop()

When I encode H.264, avs contains (most used settings scenario):

LoadPlugin("path\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource(***)
Crop()
spline36resize()

Now I fail to see how the above avs scenarios could create dependencies with ac3filter, office groove, canon decoder and other seemingly random stuff.

The portable avs will only be "installed" (= copied in the MeGUI root directory) when needed, but it must be downloaded.

issues updating core (update bug?)

I am having an infinite loop of update notices for the core. Everything else updated correctly, but MeGUI keeps asking me to update core from 2153 to 2237, which I do, then it tells me MeGUI needs to restart. I say OK, but then it never starts up again, even if I wait an hour, lol. I finally manually restart and get same message.
I tried force reinstall as a context menu choice in the Update Window, but that didn't do anything differently.

If I can get you more info to help fix this bug, please let me know. I just don't know what you may need.

@Zathor: Thank you for the information and MMG tip. I hope that the next releases will have more improvements.
Espically, Direct Stream Copy+Audio Copy parts easily that would be great.

Sorry, no clue. In general it is working. Maybe some kind of AntiVirus tool is causing problems.
As a workaround you can use the 2237 file from the sourceforge page and copy it over your installation.

Had the same problem as djmasturbeat. Downloaded a fresh copy from sourceforge. When I run it, it automatically starts downloading updates for all components. The local date for every file is listed as 1/1/0001.

edit: Went back to an old version and disabled updates.

I disabled all AV/spyware and issue persisted, so that was not the issue that I can perceive.
There was some errors about the file downloading, but unable to download, and then errors aboutbeing unable to unpack the zip then unable to delete the zip. I looked and the zip was in the cache, too.
I watched it alternately at times use the main or backup server for update, both failed on core install.

edit, here is one of the logs
Code:
-[Information] [12/25/2012 5:13:44 PM] Updating core. File 1/3.
--[Information] [12/25/2012 5:13:44 PM] Could not unzip C:\MeGUI\update_cache\megui-core_2237.zip. Deleting file.
--[Error] [12/25/2012 5:13:44 PM] Could not delete file C:\MeGUI\update_cache\megui-core_2237.zip
--[Error] [12/25/2012 5:13:44 PM] Failed to download file core with error: CouldNotDownloadFile.
I tried removing the core from update_cache and then running it, but no dice.


I finally deleted my MeGUI directory other than my profiles and jobs and logs, and just unpacked the newest build.

For the record:
pretty fresh install of Windows7x64, with barely anything installed yet, not even ffdshow/haali or LAVF, etc. Mostly just DVD Decrypter, a stand alone stable MPC-HC and some browsers and AV/spyware, and the stuff for Mobo (mostly drivers).


I won't know if the bug persists till a new core is released for stable servers.

I suppose this should have gone here top start with, since I am using a vanilla MeGUI now, and this seems like a bug for MeGUI
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151159
apologies for misplaced post, but since I started it here, thought I would follow up here.

Knowing your script content would be useful to understand the reason for this issue. At least of the script line which contains this filter. But probably better the whole script, as it may depend on surrounding context.

When using MT functions in the script megui says there's no such thing. I had to copy avisynth.dll (Set's 2.6 MT) into the avs directory of megui.

Means that even though I had avs installed and configured, megui still used its version.

There is now a quite big leap in the version number of MP4Box used by MeGUI (from 0.4.6-DEV-rev2735 to 0.5.1-DEV-rev4234:4272M).

Was it just time to do something, or are there specific new features MeGUI will take care of now?

better apple devices support...

The last MP4Box version adds eac3 files support + mvc/svc + few others things (not supported into megui though).
