That's okay, 2.55 is long outdated and MeGUI will download its own Avisynth package when you run autoupdate the first time, anyway.

Let me just ask a very very stupid question, though I sincerely don't know the answer.

How do I know which version of the XviD encoder was used in a mencoder build?

[sjchmura]

Please no one laugh - I am sure this is simple and I apologize for beign so dumb..

I am giving up on nero (as Foxy can attest)

ATSC+AC3-> Mp4 (no brainer)
-> MKV PRESERVING the AC3....
1. In the MEGUI "autoencode" section, after setting up my AVISynth, if you want to PRESERVE the AC3 and not "resample" it to AC3 is there an option? If you choose AC3 the original 5.1 AC3 gets resampled.

DO you just need to mux it manually???

2. To clean up some low-bit rate HDTV ATSC source, should I use undot() or some other filer.....

Previous x264 worked (575), this one is showing nf parameter error:

Log for job job1

x264 [error]: invalid argument: nf = (null)

The problem is x264 577-1 removed the -nf parameter (Enable Deblocking in the GUI). At least the cmdline syntax list doesn't show it anymore.

Feature Request

On a more personal note, I use only the x264 component, but when updating it auto-checks all the components with updates. I have to manually uncheck them each time. A check all / uncheck all button would be handy; even better would be a second set of checkboxes to indicate whether I want them updated.

Another idea would be to renovate the window into a full components manager, with the ability to add and remove (delete) components, and only update the components that are installed. This would save a lot of time updating.

--nf should be still there... if it doesnt then it's a bug in the x264 commandline parser coz the changelog doesnt says it was removed but

better error checking in x264_param_parse.
add synonyms for a few options.

However checking the 577 changes seems --nf was removed in favour or --n

[Sharktooth]

In build 578A I added a fix for the --nf switch.
MeGUI should auto-update x264 to that version.

[bob0r]

581 has --nf fixed again, but better just use --no-deblock

[Sharktooth]

confirmed... it was fixed in rev579.

[mrdutchie]

ok, trying this program for the last 4 days...
not getting it to work.


Sometimes it closes without anyerror after creating a d2v file

I have all the latest files

but getting a error like this

Scripterror about Colormatrix command

I am using avisynth256 can't get the 255 anywhere.
is that causing the problem?

Also for Output. I select 1/2 CD, but there is no profile etc.
Do I need to create my own ones?

I was able to import the Divx profiles and another set of profiles.

I am confused lol....

Thanks

[Sharktooth]

also the auto-update server is down so megui wont be able to automatically get all the required components.

[mrdutchie]

seems to work fine.
downloaded all the files from that link

http://mewiki.project357.com/auto/?title=auto

Isn't there a link with a good manual/install ? I saw 1 but the link ain't working...


so.... I am still stuck with my issue.... see above

and where can i find avisynth255 only finding 256 and doom9 links are dead
maybe that's my problem, that they took a function out?

[Sharktooth]

256 should work as well as 255

[mrdutchie]

I am getting the error


The file "E:\yugioh\episode1.avs" cannot be opened
Script Error : there is no function named "ColorMatrix"

I saw that ColorMatrix is set when you turn on a option in
the Setup under a MPEG2 setting for Color Correction

[Sharktooth]

You need the colormatrix filter or just disable color correction.

[check]

Just a note, that mirror is pretty out of date now, I know at least x264 has been updated a lot. Anyone know how to make wget (or any unix command) to synchronise the real /auto folder with mine?

[Doom9]

You're putting a lot of stress on those servers by redownloading everything.. there's really no point in doing so.. the installer really does nothing but copy files and write an adapted settings file.
You can't really configure

the actual avisynth that is used for opening scripts.

...
And, that error you posted is pretty self-explanatory imho.. it tells you that AviSynth needs to be installed.. what more do you want?

[Tropican]

Um, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but the link to the wiki documentation isn't right in the sticky. It should be: http://mewiki.project357.com/Main_Page

[mrdutchie]

seems like there is a bug in the software

Why do I need to put everytime the "Extra" folder with the
4 filters into the folder where my file is that needs to be decoded..

I can't find a place to set a Extra Folder, so it's always can stay there.

[check]

@Tropican: thanks for the update.

@mrdutchie: You can specify the location of .cqms in the codec config window for xvid, on the second or third page near the bottom.

Is it going to be fixed? Is there another way to update (get the xml from another server)?
