win10 x64, megui 2741, all updates, uses its avs+ portable.

its so-o-o slow, megui only uses 12% cpu, fdkaac 1-2% cpu (6700k).
anything i can do to speed it up?

PS:
i also wanted to build and try fdkaac 64bit exe.
media-autobuild_suite-master is the only option for that, right?
but it fails to create 64bit compiler, one of the files doesn't pass signature check. so no luck with that either.

Sorry, no clue. I am not using fdkaac myself. What about qaac? Do you have there the same speed?

Please post your log

I grab this log when i got this error and megui still runing :

log file is here :

Thx, I have not located the exact error reason yet. Could you please use the debug build and post the log again when the error happens?

Replaced, and it happened again :

Are you sure that you have copied both files? There should have been line numbers.

yes i just tried both megui x86 and x64 with 64bit qaac, same result.
total cpu usage during encoding no more than 17-18%, is that normal?
i decode dts, downmix to stereo, normalize and encode to aac.

are there any settings i can change on my side, or improvements be made on yours to utilize (more of) the remaining ~5/6 of cpu power?
where are software bottlenecks in this usage scenario?]

below is from the tests, with cpu usage and number of threads reported by task manager:

I just discovered that some of my encodes muxed with the mp4 muxer have been stripped of encoder library and encoder settings info, checking with MediaInfo. This seems to happen when I use the muxer manually - files encoded with AutoEncode or One-Click still have this info intact.

Using MeGUI 2743 development server, mp4box 0.7.0 rev3 (gpac)

Post log + sample.

Not good, could you please redownload the debug build again? I have updated it to 2745:

Ok :




God no, Why it just happening to me?

[Zathor]

Anything in the log? Could you post it please in any case?
EDIT: New debug build online. Please try that one.

[wthreex]

No Nothing, ok

I have uploaded once again a new debug build. It should now finally be fixed. Could you please test it and report back?

This is probably not MeGUI specific, and it's not even encoding related, but because it bothered me again and sometimes makes me want to cry and MeGUI is involved, I thought I'd ask here.
If I open the following script in notepad (it has empty lines)

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)

gradfun3()

and place the cursor at the beginning of the the crop line, and drag it down until the empty line below the resizer is highlighted, when I right click and cut, I'm left with this:

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

gradfun3()

Which is good, I think.

When I do the same thin in MeGUI's script creator.

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)


gradfun3()

As it turns out, the forum message box leaves an extra blank line too.

When I do it the other way around and paste (putting the cursor before Gradfun3 and clicking paste) if I've cut from notepad the result is exactly the same when pasting back into notepad or the script creator.

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)

gradfun3()

All good, but if I'd cut the same lines from the script creator and pasted them back, in both notepad and the script creator it'd look like this (assuming the lines were once again evenly spaced before pasting):

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)
gradfun3()

I guess Notepad, Wordpad and Metapad (which I use more) copy the line break from an empty line when it's highlighted, but the script creator (and this forum) require you to also highlight the beginning of the following line to copy the line break from an empty line.

Is there a correct way, or a preferred way? Because I'm not sure what'll be copied any more and my life's become a relentless stress of extra blank lines and missing line breaks I'm forever having to fix.

x264 r2833 kmod is released.
http://komisar.gin.by/

[hello_hello]

Zathor,

After updating MeGUI to 2748 and x264 to r2833, MeGUI claimed it couldn't find 10 bit x264 & embarked on a never ending request to install it. Even when I told it not to, every time I started an encoding job the updater would open and try to re-install it. I'm using the 8 bit version though. I just thought I'd mention that in case it's not expected behaviour, but the x86 version of 10 bit x264 is named "x264-10b.exe.exe".
Removing the additional ".exe" from the file name stopped MeGUI from wanting to re-install it.

Thanks.

@hello_hello:
hmmh,
just updated to 2748 and no sign of the curiosities you discovered.
There must be something weird on your side...
