MeGUI development

[Mutant_Fruit]

I'll port MeGUI to mono along with the change i put above over the next few days and you can mirror it if you want. I may ping the dev's and see what the story is.

Hi everyone, I'm back for a little while.

@Mutant_Fruit: I haven't yet looked at your patch, but I will probably be happy to commit it to SVN. How's the port going? I'm not entirely sure why a port is necessary, given that MeGUI still needs a lot more work to run on Linux anyway...

0.2.4.1042
Commit by berrinam:
    - Make main window maximizable (1734262)
    - Fixed 1648638 with Mutant_Fruit's patch
    - Fixed 1737423 adapting foxyshadis's patch
    - Fixed 1734260 (must select profile in AVS creator for settings to be applied)
    - Fixed 1728899 (AutoEncode button does not work)
    - Fixed 1728890 (mp4box problem). mp4box muxes now use the output file's folder as the temp dir
    - Fixed 1727973 (crop limit 200 pixels). The crop limit is now half the video's size
    - Fixed inability to serialise jobs created with non-adaptive muxers
    - Fixed 1659923 (Audio Delay ignored in muxer)

More still to come.

0.2.4.1043
Commit by berrinam:
    - Add support for AVI-Mux GUI muxing

It's not in AutoUpdate, because putting it there would crash current MeGUIs. I've fixed that bug in 0.2.3.1043; I'm going to wait about a week for people to update to 1043 before putting AVI-Mux GUI on AutoUpdate. In the meantime, you can get it from http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

Not really megui.. rather the other way round You can all but forget AviSynth under Linux at this point, and there are various support programs (the video codecs may be open source, but other than lame and faac audio encoding on LInux is rather limited) that require windows, including support libs (e.g. mediainfo).

What Sharktooth is/was trying is to change megui, rolling back to using mencoder for all encoding purposes and at the same time convert all avisynth based stuff to use mencoder as well (which will never yield as much flexibility as we have with avisynth). Megui stands and falls with AviSynth - it's a very central component.

Commit by berrinam:
    - Allow future programs to be added to AutoUpdate without crashing

[rack04]

Are these updates on the update server? MeGUI doesn't find any updates. Thanks for the great work.

Did anyone check if "Add support for AVI-Mux GUI muxing"
also fixes 1646837 ?
(will check later; going to sleep now )

0.2.5.1001 Libs update
    - Same as 0.2.4.1038, but corrected because autoupdate had an old version

0.2.5.1001
Commit by berrinam:
    - Add support for BeSplit audio cutting/joining, based on cutlists

See http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI:Audio_cutter for details.

@Selur: it should be fixed, but I'll see later.

[Adub]

thanks for the Audio GUI Update fix!

Rock on!

[Selur]

@berrinam: just tested, avi(Xvid/mp3) encoding work again.

Did the besplit support kill the cultlist support in the main window?
just tried to encode with a cutlist and got:

Log for job job1

Error:
MeGUI.AviSynthException: Script error: Invalid arguments to function "BlankClip"
   bei MeGUI.AviSynthClip..ctor(String func, String arg, AviSynthColorspace forceColorspace, AviSynthScriptEnvironment env)
   bei MeGUI.AviSynthAudioEncoder.encode()
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current job contains errors. Skipping chained jobs

encoding without the cutlist works fine.

[JarrettH]

is it safe to just update x264.exe myself? does auto-update use a different compile from the x264 website?

auto-update also has not final DG index 1.4.9
mp4 box 0.4.4 http://kurtnoise.free.fr/mp4tools/MP4Box-0.4.4.zip

That's a bug, which is weird, because I haven't touched that code...
Can you add it to Sourceforge please?

Yes, because x264 tends not to require a different calling syntax.

auto-update also has not final DG index 1.4.9
mp4 box 0.4.4 http://kurtnoise.free.fr/mp4tools/MP4Box-0.4.4.zip

I wouldn't replace them if I were you, because they are more likely to break MeGUI. Furthermore, what advantages are you likely to get? With x264, speed and compressibility, but nothing so clear with mp4box and DGIndex.

I'll write a post in the bug tracker tomorrow
-> done

0.2.5.1004
Commit by berrinam:
    - Fixed avc2avi muxing (d'oh!)
    - Fixed error on corrupt input in Adaptive Muxer

0.2.5.1003
Commit by berrinam:
    - Nicer progress window displaying consistent information for all jobs
       (and much nicer internal code)

0.2.5.1002
Commit by berrinam:
    - Removed the DivX avi muxer
    - Fixed up mux-path-finding with AutoEncode+AddSubsNChapters to support changing output format with same codec.
        Result: you can now encode to AVI through AutoEncode+AddSubsNChapters

Audio encoding seems to be broken now, I'm guessing because of the new progress window. If trying to start with an audio:


If coming after a video, then meGui crashes and the previous video job gets stuck in "processing"

[berrinam]

I'm aware of the bug, and my working copy has a fix. But I still need to make some other changes before releasing it.

0.2.5.1005
Commit by berrinam:
    - Fixed audio encoding
    - Fixed ColorCorrect's missing 'interlaced=true' on interlaced sources

[deets]

is the fps in the queue after an encode now gone, or is just me?

[kOoL tHuG]

Where can i get MeGUI Build 0.2.5.1005????????

Thanks in Advance
