MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[chuck67]

Could someone tell me y my converted .mkv files have no audio? the only have one audio stream and all my other converted vids have sound. :/ is there an extra option or something i gotta tick in meGUI? oh and does No DCT decimation improve quality or degrade quality?

[JarrettH]

what was the source?
if you used mkv to keep ac3 audio, do you have ac3filter installed?

I am having trouble settings values for the chapter editor for a vob file. I am constantly receiving pop errors like this.

Hello again.
Here in Russia we have all kinds of problems with charsets. For example, when encoding movie with english subtitles, it's often better to set subtitle charset to 'ANSI' instead of system-default cyrillic, or acuted characters will be replaced with russian gibberish.
This is done in avisynth with line 'TextSub("subtitle-file",0)'. In MeGUI's AVS Script Creator I can manually fix all the scripts it produces, but it's rather troublesome.
So, the question is: where I can edit something to make AVS SC include charset parameter in TextSub call?

I am having trouble muxing the audio and video together on one of my movies. I usually don't have too many problems using mkv muxer. but my audio and video aren't lining up right. Normally i have been able to adjust the delay to have the two sync. but on this video, the delay isn't working. no matter what delay time i put in, the audio is still off my about 3000ms(3 seconds). I have tried between mkv and mp4 muxer. sometimes mp4 works for me.

I have read a lot of the questions on here about audio delay but can't seem to find one about this. plus there's 230 some pages on here. and i have searched.

But there hasn't been an update from the "official" site in over a month.

Anyone know why?

so, ANSI = 0...do you know all correct values ? I think it's UTF-8 as default...

edit: well...I found them. i'll add this.

I am trying to use Chapter-X-tractor to rip chapter times from Vob file to text file so I can use this with MeGui encodes.

So I created the file with format as below from format %hh:%mm:%ss:%ff Chapter %c\n

00:00:00:00 Chapter 1
00:04:02:09 Chapter 2
00:08:06:13 Chapter 3
00:11:52:07 Chapter 4
00:13:49:19 Chapter 5
00:16:54:20 Chapter 6

However MeGui errors in muxing saying chapter file is invlaid. Can someone show me what the valid format looks like so I can copy it please.

[Kurtnoise]

use OGG Format from Chapter-X-Tractor or wait the new MeGUI release which fixes the issue mentioned.

[flebber]

Thanks heaps and I look forward to new release.

[Kurtnoise]

it's available either from SF website or from my webpage using http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/ as server...

[flebber]

I have changed to your source and updated now I have version 0.3.1.1055. Not sure if I am doing something wrong I cannot save extract or save chapter file I receive error below.

Thanks to your advice I can extract chapters as ogg text files in chapterXtractor and megui muxes them perfectly. Cheers again.

From what I gather, its due to the developer having a summer holiday.

[Grossmeister]

Is x264 build 1210 ok for MeGUI 1053 and MeGUI presets v85, or I should download older version of x264? MeGUI 1053 changelog says that it "Requires x264 revision 1206 or higher", but I don't know how much higher can it be.

[SixKiller]

I've got some serious problems here with the new versions of MeGUI. The x264 setting that i want to apply aren't applied. MeGui is using the same Commandline evertime i want to encode something. When i check several box like "No fast p skip" i if i change the ref frames, megui shows me the changes in the commandline section of the configuration dialog. so far so good But if i click "Enqueue" and want to start the encode, megui always uses the same commandline instead of the commandline showing me in the configuration dialog.

So for now i cant encode with megui. btw im using 1055. i already deleted the presets and did on on my own, but it didnt changed anything.

Need Help

Thanks

[Kurtnoise]

how can we help you without having any logs or command lines used ?

[Forteen88]

I noticed that MeGUI isn't consistent in the increase/decrease-buttons. In deblock, the upper button decreases deblock-value, and in bframes the upper button increases bframes-value..

Also, why don't MeGUI support subme 10?

Thanks

[Kurtnoise]

obviously, you don't have the last dev build...

Use an new Build after 0.3.1.1052...

- (kurtnoise) [x264Config] add QP-RD support as subme = 10. x264 rev 1187 or higher required.

Ok, thanks (to Lugia25000 also). I thought I had the newest version, as I pressed 'update' recently. Although I guess 'update' doesn't include 'dev'-versions..
BTW, why doesn't MeGUI use the (newer) x264-build from x264.nl? Does Jebb's builds have a special patch compared to the x264.nl-version?
EDIT: Ok, thx nurbs.
