MeGUI - x264/XviD/lavc/Snow encoder with MP4/MKV/AVI output & audio

[bilditup1]

I've found a bug, at least in the 2525 version. I'm converting a video using QTGMC and then using SelectEven() to halve the framerate. The resulting file, however, was still at the doubled framerate output of QTGMC. However, according to the log, the problem isn't with the encode itself - it's that, when selecting mp4 format output, for some reason the doubled framerate is passed as a parameter to mp4box. I'm not sure how exactly this happens, but it definitely does. Even if fps is set explicitly as a parameter for x264, MeGUI doesn't make use of that information to supply the correct fps to mp4box. I've confirmed that this only happens with mp4 output, not rawavc or mkv. So either the settings for mp4box need to be given a place in the UI directly, or this behavior just needs to be fixed.

I've submitted a patch that fixes a long-standing problem with file lengths being misinterpreted when using Apple-style chapters. Detailed explanation with diff at Sourceforge.

Yeah, the wiki at mewiki.project357.com appears to be dead. If there's no backup, I guess we could get it by hand from the wayback machine or google's cache and put it up again somewheres...

Hi. I want to make some encodes and i want to know if i need anything more than Megui.

It depends how long you want that piece of string to be.

As a general rule, no, you don't require anything more, but MeGUI does have a bit of a learning curve and you can only encode using the Xvid or x264 video encoders (the title of this thread could use an update).

I want to make the most simple encodes, for example encoding a bluray to avc with x264 but sometimes the video source suffers from interlaced problems. My question is do i need to install avisynth after megui??

[hello_hello]

No, MeGUI uses a portable version of Avisynth+, which is fairly similar to Avisynth 2.6. It has an option in it's settings to switch between using the portable version and any version of Avisynth you happen to have installed.

If you're going to install Avisynth though, it'd pay to install the latest, which is version 2.6 RC3 (or install Avisynth+). The reason for that is if you start using any additional Avisynth plugins, you can switch between the installed version and the portable version without too much issue as the plugins for Avisynth 2.6 also work for Avisynth+.

Other than that, no you don't need to install Avisynth, but it can be handy, as any plugins you put in the installed Avisynth plugins folder will automatically load when Avisynth runs (they'll also auto-load when MeGUI is using the portable version of Avisynth+) so you don't need to manually load them in scripts yourself. If you're not going to be doing anything beyond letting MeGUI create scripts and use the plugins that come with it, then it doesn't matter. MeGUI will load the plugins it needs to use.

Sadly I do not have the time for that Only "solution" is that I remove all links in the next release of nobody else steps in.

I can't really contribute to the software side of things (no clue) but I could probably contribute by helping with something like that. I have a bit of free time and if there's no hurry.....

What was hosted on the mewiki.project357.com site? I think I recall I guide to x264's settings but aside from that I'm not sure.

Please help me,
i try to assemble (use AVI MUXER) 1 .avi + 1 ac3 + 1 srt, but receive this error:



i try to re-encode avi but error remain, how to fix ??

Hi, all~
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

I also update to r2544 but didn't help. My laptop is win 8.1, I also change to another win7 computer but it is still the same.
What should I do to solve this problem? Do I miss some packages in my laptop?
This is my sourceforge bug report: https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/bugs/794/
Thanks~

In your log don't exist a LOAD ac3, maybe you try load a invalid ac3 file.

Is related with your ac3 question in Audio encoding thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...74#post1723074 ?

As written I cannot reproduce it. Which DPI settings in Windows do you use?

My laptop system is windows 8.1 x64 and 1366x768 dpi size. I think maybe it's not a bug, it's just my laptop is lack of some package...

[LigH]

The dpi value is usually around 100 (typically, e.g. 72 or 96 dpi), it means "dots per inch". It is possible to change the resolution to e.g. upscale fonts if text appears tiny and hard to read.

Hi there, fellow transcoders.
Adding #degrain routine in the avs script creator with smdegrain.avsi & awesome mvtools2.dll would be great improvement.
Since if the source is heavily grained and no degrain is aplied usually approx half of the precious bitrate is consumed by the grain.
I consider it being a bit diff from denoising since most film transfers more grainy than noisy. Although it takes care of the noise too.
Temporal degrainer such as smdegrain or similar based on the famous motion vectors toolkit mvtools2 is very hq, has fine tuning
and does its job with great respect to edges, details and everything. I've used the thing for years with great success. So consider this..

The MP4 Muxer does not seem to set Language anymore. It use to set it as what MeGUI default to in the options.

Thanks for the report. As I am not able to test this myself right now can you please post a log? Or does it look correct in there?
