@Avish: chronocross already reported that. However, perhaps I should've written in the notes that the build you're using is not meant for non developers.. it contains major internal changes and while I did try every form (at least I think I did), I don't have all kinds of profiles to test out.

As a precaution until the refactoring is done, I will be marking my builds as stable or dev. Hopefully this will prevent some confusion onto whether or not people should use it as you have stated that they should be more for internal testing than full use.

Hi all.
I have this small prob. i couldnt find a solution for. When i create a d2v file, and try to open it in Megui's avisynth script generator i get this error "DGindex reported 0 frames in this file. This is a fatal error. Please recreate the DGindex project". Creating new d2v files with options correct field order and force open gops in d2v file,(in DGindex) doesnt help either. I think i have my system setup just fine (with DGDecode.dll @ avisynths plugin folder). So im clueless how to fix it. Any help appreciated. Im using DGIndex 1.4.6. |

@devs: I think that we could perhaps get more descriptive error messages for that situation if we used dimzon's Avisynthwrapper .... new DGDecode.dll's return very descriptive AviSynth error messages, and they could be much more useful to debug than the current one (as netchris quoted). My own bug report: MeGUI 0.2.3.2066 flags jobs as done instead of error when there is an error. However, the job quere still stops. |

I'm going to test out before-mentioned stuff now, but for starters:
You can not crop more than 200 pixels from each direction. Although this may not be necessary often, I don't see why. When using manual crop it won't let you enter a value above 200 and with Auto Crop there will come an error message that the Value xxx (something above 200) is supposed to be between Min and Max value. |

@cmw: what kind of content requires more than 200 pixels be cropped from one side?

Domm 9: The sample I was going to test.
Ok, here are the results. I have to explain a bit. I use a capured Video (AVI, Zipped Motion Block Codec) from DosBox as source. This file has 70 FPS! Although this has nothing to do with MeGui, this is a major problem, because apparently VMR7 Playback AND Overlay Playback are not able to render more fps than the vertical synch of the display is. This results in extreme dumb behaviour that from an 70fps movie, only 60 are rendered in one second and the remaining 10 are not dropped but appended to the nex second! This results that the movie plays slower than it should, but the sound does not adapt, so we have extreme audio/video desynch. However, if I use Virtual Dub's "Convert to Framerate" --> Someting below 60, Playback will be in synch. For more information on this topic, see: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=11168 Well now for the bug reporting stuff: I loaded this 70 fps movie in the avisynchscript, cropped it, it's not interlaced. For the cropping question: This is the Phantasmagoria Intro, the resolution of the games is 640x480, but when I set the videos to "Half", then they will only consume about 320x180 or sth like that and i would need to crop more than 200px to get rid of black borders, but that's not that important. As encoding settings, I chose CE-Quicktime and as container .mp4. Here is the log: Code:

Here is a screenshot of the MP Statistics: For XVID: I couldn't reproduce the behaviour. I set xvid to 1700 CBR and as Container AVI. The resulting output will have 70fps and playback with 60 (as ususal). So in XVID a 35fps video would be declared as 35fps and would playback with 35fps. Screenshot: I hope this lifts the confusion a bit. Edit: To clarify more, i made additional screenshots: This is the stats from the Dolby Canyon Cinemeatik Trailer. It has 29 FPS (standard) NTSC. When converted to AVC, it will be declared as 25fps but will still playback with 29. When converted to XVID, it will be correctly declared as 29 FPS and will playback with 29. Edit 2: I also wonder what has happened to my interlacing problem with DV. Have you checked with the sample I provided? =) Edit 3: Ah yeah, in case of question, my x264 version is Sharktooth's 408M. mfg gmw Last edited by cmw; 7th February 2006 at 13:49. |

Audio encoding via Avisynth using DirectShowSource produced mute clip
Hi!
Audio encoding via Avisynth produces mute sound clip when DirectShowSource is used in AVS script. Avisynth 2.5.5 MeGUI 0.2.3.2063 I discovered it when I tried to convert some WMV to iPod format. I used DirectShowSource in AVS (created it manually) and fed it into both video and audio encoding. Video encoding worked just fine. Audio encoding procuded clip with correct parameters but without sound. I made some experiments with other clips. I had some raw-AVI's that worked fine with AviSource but created empty clip when I used DirectShowSource. Thanks for the nice tool, I especially like that it prints out the command lines - very educational. Arne |

2) Provide your script 3) Provide (if possible) wmv sample (less than 10MB please, upload it @ mytempdir.com in ZIP or RAR or 7Z)

frame rate in 16:9 ntsc dvd
@Doom9
sorry about the delay, but i finally ran that command line you posted. it returned the same error that was in the windows error. i have a screen shot of the command line and error attached. the second attachment is a screen shot of the Avisynth script generator after loading the .d2v file from DGIndex. fps show as "NaN". when i open the .d2v file in wordpad, fps shows as... Frame_Rate=23976 the third attachment shows the Automatic Encoding window. each 16:9 ratio DVD i have tried shows a NEGATIVE bitrate in this field. i never select bitrate, always file target size, and usually it is "don't care". i am fairly certain it is not the muxing that is the problem, since i can get the exact same senario to work if i only use a 4:3 ratio DVD. what should i try next? there must be an Avisynth command or plugin that i can use to deal with the 23.976 fps, and that might fix everything else down the line. mabey?

Why don't you add /platform:x86 switch in the compile.bat in order fix the compilation bug for Windows XP x64 and compile the ChronoCross builds with that switch?
I don't have any problems because i can do CVS checkout and compile it by myself, but there are people wich can't do that. I think that it's inconvinient for someone who uses Windows XP x64 to download and configure TortoiseCVS wich is not completley compatible with x64 and you must use 32-bit explorer to do CVS checkout. |

@Turd_Ferguson: 1) just as I suspected.. you have a buggy mp4box build.
