ok does megui records stuff somewhere other than the log tab? becouse after about 12 hours of first pass of HQ-Slow, it seems to have terminated with Status as "error" and log just says:
Quote:
Next job job1-1 is a video job. encoder commandline:
"x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 1597 --stats "sourcename.stats" --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --filter -2,-1 --subme 1 --analyse none --me dia --progress --no-psnr --output NUL "sourcename.avs"
successfully set up video encoder and callbacks for job job1-1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Log for job job1-1

avis [info]: 1280x720 @ 29.97 fps (185578 frames)
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 3DNow!
I am understandably disheartened having wasted 12 hours, and nothing but 15.2 MB of sourcename.stats.temp to show for it, not even a decent error message to tell me why it broke.

my script is:

Code:
mpeg2source("pathtosource.d2v")
LeakKernelDeint(order=1)
crop(0,0,0,-8)
LanczosResize(1280,720)
fft3dGPU(sigma=1.2, plane=4, sharpen=0.3)
I have encoded a shorter clip of that same source (using avisynth's Trim function) no problem earlier, output to mkv if that matters.

Since it did seem to run pass 1 to the end, can I start pass2 with that temp file? or is it all lost? using sharktooth's r396D package.

Yes, I can understand how you feel. Unfortunately, it may not be MeGUI causing the problem. Since the job is flagged as an error, it appears that x264 returned an error code, suggesting some problem external to MeGUI. As x264 normally will return an error message if it has an error, and MeGUI will always return this, I think that this error could be an AviSynth error. Try just doing a pass through this file to see if it causes any errors. You could do this with mplayer.

mplayer commandline:
Code:
mplayer -benchmark -vo null your-file.avs

Well, you can check if it ran to the end by looking at the file in a text editor, and seeing if the highest frame number is equal to, or close enough to, the number of frames. If not, you can also take this an estimate of where it failed, and trim the video to just that section and see if it fails again.

And finally, good bug report. Thank you. Pity there's not much information to work with.

the new video encoders will only "swallow" status updates and the "syntax" message that comes up when a wrong commandline was used (the error will be identified as such though)... the rest will be dumped to the log.. but there are only two types of lines currently not being returned in addition to the abovementioned two.. it's quite unlikely that this is what happened in this case. It's very likely that had you encoded via commandline, the output would look just the same... x264 just exited.. if it exits properly or is being aborted, you should see a few additional lines indicating how many frames were encoded and where it was aborted. The new encoders have an additional bonus: even though the process exists, I make sure to read every last one line from stdout and stderr and put that to the log... this is another potential (though I've never seen it happen with x264.exe) case where certain messages might be lost.

Can anyone look at this one? i think the problem is in level -> mb code (i modified it in .2003), but im not completely sure and have no time to check it now.

i dunno if this helps at all to track the origin of the problem but the last few lines of the stats.temp are:
Quote:
in:160651 out:160651 type:P q:21.00 itex:25638 ptex:30810 mv:25159 misc:1425 imb:1762 pmb:1562 smb:276;
in:160652 out:160652 type:P q:21.00 itex:25415 ptex:28250 mv:24528 misc:1711 imb
that so it stopped about 20 000 frames short and in the middle of writing down a line. I just trimmed (160200, 170000) avs played back in MPC, with obvious lag due to high rez (1080i) + deinterlace + resize.

now the weired part, I tried loading that in MeGUI, preview pops up, same HQ-Slow with same bitrate set in the calc, I add job to que, but when I start it megui just crashes immediately. I tried 1P-Maxspeed, I tried not trimming (so just use the script I quoted above), megui now just crashes immediately when I click start the new job. but as I said mpc plays avs just fine though with lag due to all the editing.
the only possibly unstable part of the script is fft3dGPU, and I tried commenting it out, doesn't help.

@lexor: Do you get any error message when MeGUI crashes?

I'm grasping for straws because this problem seems hard to find. Would you perhaps be able to narrow down the problem and upload a sample?

I think he needs to spend the 12 hours again but this time encode from the commandline. I cannot rule out that megui misses a line in the end but it wouldn't be the first time x264.exe crashes without giving any notice... it has happened to quite a few people..

lol doom that's the problem I can't do 12 hour encode anymore, it crashes right away now, click start, progress window pops up, boom it all closes and if I start megui again the job is not there. I do everything exactly the same way I did before. It just closes, no errors

Also I tried pasting that command line for the first pass into dos window, and it ran for a few minutes, and when I force quit (ctrl-c) it gave the following output:

Quote:
avis [info]: 1280x720 @ 29.97 fps (185578 frames)
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2 3DNow!
x264 [info]: slice I:1 Avg QP:21.00 size: 173

x264 [info]: slice B:60 Avg QP:13.98 size: 4699

x264 [info]: mb P I16..4: 14.5% 0.0% 0.0% P16..4: 11.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0
.0% skip:73.9%
x264 [info]: mb B I16..4: 0.9% 0.0% 0.0% B16..8: 36.3% 0.0% 0.0% direct:

x264 [info]: final ratefactor: 17.51
x264 [info]: kb/s:1619.8

aborted at input frame 81
encoded 81 frames, 3.94 fps, 1624.71 kb/s
so it does work in command line, just megui terminates without any output. This is done on the script above, so no trimming or anything. Weired thing is when it crashes it creates the .mkv file (empty) but no stat. Command line creates stat, but not mkv (logical since only first pass is requested of it). I'm testing all this with HQ-Slow now (but as I said above any profile does this), no editing by me.

I didn't try reinstall (or update to newest build) since I want to explore the problem before overwriting any files. I could call this a fleuk and reinstall.

/quick edit: I just tried my speed clicking skills to switch to log tab before it crashes, and I get the first part of the log the same untill the long --------------- delimeter line (it and subsequent information doesn't appera)

I meant.. encode the whole 12 hours from the commandline.. see if this crashes as well. You wouldn't happen to be able to find your way around in Visual Studio Express, would you? You can configure it in a way that whatever causes the crash will break to the debugger.. so even if you don't know what to do, you can take a screenshot with the info.. it would really be helpful.

but megui crashes immediately, how would x264 crashing at frame 160 000 affect the beginning (on which megui not crashes in command line)?

That would be for your initial problem You remember reporting a crash after 12 hours, don't you?

see that's what I don't understand, so it hit an error with that encode, but I'm not trying to continue that old job, I create a new one, and it doesn't even start the encoding. I mean I can't grasp how error which is not hit for 12 hours will terminate the process right now?

on the VS.net note, I have 2003 installed, but I warn you, debuggers hate me (prolly becouse I hate them) so unless there are instructions that leave me with no choice but to pick the correct settings, it might not go too well.

I'm afraid you'll need Visual Studio Express (or VS 2k5). Then you go to the Exceptions menu in the Debug dropdown, and check "thrown" under common language exceptions. That way, when an unhandled exception is thrown (which is what causes MeGUI to crash), the debugger will stop and display the exception. Also, make sure you're using the latest release (you'll have to redo your jobs.. there's a new commandline generation)

ok I found out what causes it to break, if someone switches user (not logout) under WinXP, now I again can't start another job. gonna reinstall again.

Just to note that 0.2.3.2012 won't start for me either. This was my first time trying a .NET 2.0 build so I was worried that was the problem, but I just tried 2010 and that started up fine.

Im also having similar problems with buiild 0.2.3.2012
megui-snow.exe
megui-x264.exe
megui.exe
All fail to start with the same error `MeGUI has encountered a problem and needs to close`

I have Net 1.1 & Net 2 installed + Sharktooth latest x264 build

As already noted,if i jump back to build 0.2.3.2010 all is well.

- All files run and work for me.


What i can think of is what other users don't have, and what may help running the files "Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00.50727.42".
Maybe some .dll or extra files are required when you do not have this installed? Just a wide guess.

Did you guys install http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en (or the 64 bit version) or did .net 2.0 install via Microsoft Update?
And do you guys have this dir: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 ?


Test my compiles also: http://files.x264.nl/megui/
