now i move back to the previous working core 0.3.0.1020

same prob here... was this fixed in the 0.3.0.2002 update?

Sharktooth · 19th August 2008, 14:41

yep. fixed.

Pre-render pass: When checked, this makes a lossless pass avi file. After it has finished, the rest of the encoding usually goes by quicker because lossless avi=very fast to read
Analysis pass: For using VFR, pass=1,pass=2 scripts

Thanks Nightshiver.

@Sharktooth

just been following this thread some more
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...95#post1172195

there is a suggestion that something like the DGAVC toolset is somehow 'more predictable' in its frame-serving accuracy

is this a commonly held opinion and if so, is this the way that MeGUI's .avs scripts will head in the future (i.e. away from DirectShowSource) as DG's toolset becomes more mature?

I know, for instance, that by way of comparison, the excellent DVD Rebuilder GUI relies on DG's MPEG2 frame-serving tools in performing DVD backup duties

Sharktooth · 21st August 2008, 11:02

we will definatly integrate DGAVCIndex for AVC files, so, yes, we will use DG tools whenever possible.

rkalwaitis · 21st August 2008, 15:01

Sharktooth was is the sane range for psy rdo settings?

Sharktooth · 21st August 2008, 15:46

Updating to the latest version 0.3.0.2002 produces the following error message when MEGUI starts:
"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.at MeGUI.OSInfo.GetMOStuff(String queryObject).

EDIT: I submitted it to the bugs tracker.

Sharktooth · 22nd August 2008, 16:14

... and it has been closed.
do a clean install. something is screwed on your side.

Avenger007 · 22nd August 2008, 16:39

Every time I open MeGUI 0.3.0.2002 it accesses my floppy drive

Previous versions didn't do that.

As an aside, why isn't MP4Box 0.4.5-dev used in updates?

Sharktooth · 22nd August 2008, 16:44

coz now megui collects more data in the log to help debugging and troubleshooting.
mp4box 0.4.5. dev is unstable.

Avenger007 · 22nd August 2008, 16:45

Umh... what does that have to do with my floppy drive?

Sharktooth · 22nd August 2008, 17:01

the sourcecode is available...

Avenger007 · 22nd August 2008, 17:05

I meant what is the necessity of checking the floppy drive?
It's quite annoying

Sharktooth · 22nd August 2008, 17:06

during the check for free disk space the floppy is checked too... so... draw your conclusions.
also, you still have a floppy?

Well, although my system has more than 100 applications or so, it runs very well, very stable. I've made it carefully especially to save the whole partition with backup software. No other problems except on that weird message from your application.

But, I just did a test on another XP partition I have for testing purposes almost "virgin" with just a couple of basic apps, (acrobat, nod32, folder guard) where I installed avisynth 2.5.7 and megui 0.3.0.2002. Then, when I tried to open megui I got the same error!
So, i'm sorry but it seems that the fault is definitely on your side!

Here is a screenshot:

PS: If I click "OK" megui opens, but I don't know if eveything will run Ok...

Are you sure it's on the developer's side? I'm running same 0.3.0.2002 version without a hitch on several XP comptuers. I don't get any warning messages. A few of my friends are too...It's probably on your side

Oh, come on Roco,
hundreds or even thousands of people are using MeGui on a daily basis.
And they are not complaining about anything.
We don't know anything about your system or setup.
I have never seen two identical WinXP setups.
So what makes you think your installations are 100% clean?
Which Service Packs, which framework, which Plugins in your Avisynth folder? They might interfere with the ones MeGui is using.
And you are registered here at Doom9 from 2005, you should know how and where to post images (hint: imageshack)and log files.

Roco · 23rd August 2008, 16:22

Just before I answer to your replies I thought I should make another test... and I found the "cause" of this error!

I just disabled temporary Folder Guard (v7.6 XP edition) protection, which locked the access of other partitions in my multiboot system (3 XP partitions, 2 Vista) each one made for max stability for different kinds of tasks. Then the initial error message didn't appear! If you want to test this, just lock other partitions probably with any protection software, but preferably with the very good Folder Guard.

Now comes the question: Who's fault is this?
I wouldn't mind to admit my fault at all, (I'm not that selfish) but I think that no encoder software should produce an error message just because I limited its access to irrelative partitions where I have installed other OSes!!! The least proper application behaviour should be to give a specific error message e.g "Error: Could not access partitions D, E, F, G, H" but why it needs to access these partitions anyway? Statistics? It should ask for user permition IMO!

BTW, one of the main reasons I use Folder Guard, is for badly designed software where while installing on e.g D XP partition, they want to access C XP partition and sometimes corrupt that OS installation -and of course for malicious software too, or spyware etc. It worked well in this case too IMO... although I don't think megui is malicious...

BTW here is the screenshot I was talking about (which I've never seen before, not even with the previous megui version):
