MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread - Page 214

The new x264 (with a working filename) have corrected my memory blow problem. Now for the same work the max mem used is around 600M (1500M and more before, with x264 crashes)

DVXA presents give error when second pass starts, known bug or my problem?

daWsOn_s · 28th May 2009, 23:58

Nevermind

I'm doing a pre-rendering pass in MeGUI with some pretty heavy filtering and mencoder is close to but never exceeds 50% CPU. Is mencoder's HuffYUV encoding multithreaded? If so, I guess it's time for me to move to Avisynth-MT...

Sharktooth · 30th May 2009, 02:57

if you're doing heavy filtering, then avisynth is your limiting factor.

Inspector.Gadget · 30th May 2009, 03:00

Edit: System idle time is 40-50% and mencoder is about the same. I'm beginning to think Avisynth isn't the hang-up in this particular case.

Avisynth CPU time is counted as part of mencoder CPU time.

Also, on a dual-core system, "50%" is one core.

Just trying to figure out how to do.
I've Ffdshow installed, but I'd need some hints.

Thanks in advance

get FLV splitter from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...zip&a=75719497
ensure FFDShow can decode the streams by playing the .flv file in your favourite DirectShow media player, if it does, then use megui's avseditor to create a script using directshowsource() to open the file. load it and go on encoding.

The problem re-appears each time I open Streamy. I just need to delete the file proxy.pac (I don't touch the registry) and the problem is gone.
Maybe you can find a way to avoid this. :-/

Thanks !

Sharktooth · 31st May 2009, 01:59

im sorry but we cant fix other softwares (expecially if they're not opensource softwares).
if "streamy" compromises your internet connectivity, we can do nothing to fix it. just contact that software developers and ask why their software is messing with your internet connection.

MeGUI crashed on me while I was doing something stupid. x264 is still running, according to the process monitor. If I leave it alone, it'll still finish encoding the file, right?

nurbs · 31st May 2009, 20:39

Since the last update the x264 profiles contain "--fullrange on" by default. I thought this option should only be activated if the input uses the range 0-255, which isn't the case for DVD and Blu-Ray sources.
If I'm correct then why is it enabled by default and why isn't there a way to deactivate it?

It should, as Megui's front end capability sets up the command line parameters for the encode, and when started, 264 takes over and goes on from there until done.

In any event, you'll find out eventually

Are you sure about "--fullrange on" flag? I don't see it but I encoded some video and noticed that it have wrong levels when video played using CoreAVC (CoreAVC thinks input have PC levels) and right levels with MPC-HC with or without DXVA(I guess MPC-HC do not respect fullrange flag). So then it makes sence to me...

EDIT: encoding to h264 with ffmpeg gives me right levels with CoreAVC so probably fullrange flag is somewhere there in MeGui.

Keiyakusha · 31st May 2009, 22:40

OMG, when nurbs said "profiles" i looked directly into xml files. There is no such flag in them but now I see it in MeGui commandline...

Inspector.Gadget · 31st May 2009, 22:44

Thanks, rapscallion. New question for devs and others: when I drag a .dgm file into the AVS Script Creator, I get an error that tells me that there is no function called "MPGSource". I assume this is because the current syntax for DGMPGDecNV is DGSource() rather than MPGSource(). Is this intended behavior and I'm just screwing up somewhere, or is this a bug?

Sharktooth · 1st June 2009, 03:06

i think ALL DVDs and Blu-rays have 0-255 range. however i'll make it an option.

EDIT: done.

@inspector.gadget: megui defaults to DGMpegDec syntax since it's free and it's included with megui updates, however does DGMpegDec accepts DGSource as well? In that case, ill just swap MPGSource with DGSource, otherwise additional checks are needed.

it's because the code isn't updated yet to support the new version...

Inspector.Gadget · 1st June 2009, 16:35

Sharktooth: DGSource() doesn't work with a regular d2v file, as far as I can test, so you may need to separate the function. I don't know anything about programming, but since opening a .dgm file in the AVS Script Creator already starts the CUVID server, the "hook" may already be there.

Related issue: When encoding using any of the NV tools and the CUVID server running, opening another NV (dgm, dgv, dga) file in the AVS Script Creator accesses the running CUVID server and crashes MeGUI but apparently doesn't interfere with x264 or the instance of Avisynth it uses (and has only brought down the CUVID server one of two time I've done the same stupid thing

). I realize it's not MeGUI's fault, but if you developers get a chance, maybe you could figure out a way to check for a running instance of the server and disallow any further automatic access through the AVS Script Creator to keep idiots like me from constantly messing themselves up. Many thanks for an excellent program.
