DGIndex grayed out in 2875 Update

I just updated to MeGUI 2875 and found that DGIndex, DGIndexIM and DGIndexNV are all grayed out. I tried with both a .vob and a .mkv file and they are grayed out in both formats. I have IM and NV checked in the settings dialogue box and I do have a license for NV but they still show-up gray.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?


Edit: addition

I've done a bit more work with .vob files and found that when I drag and drop one onto the main screen I'm no longer provided with an indexer choice, it goes straight into indexing. Then when it finished encoding the last twenty minutes of the movie I was encoding were gone. The time/length of the movie showed correctly but the end of it was not there.

Just tried the backup megui.exe file with the same results...might this be a problem with the also updated avisynth files?

Edit NEW
Tried to update a file at a time from a BU directory and contrary to my above comment about AviSynt those files do not seem to be the problem. BUT...when I update to MeGUI 2875, MeGUI Libraries 2847 and MediaInfo 18.08 the problem re-appears. SO...the problem may be in one of those updated files? At this point I am unable to encode a full movie from .vob files as it only recognize one .vob file at a time and does NOT put them together to create the whole movie. I hope that's clear?

EDIT NEW NEW!

Whoever fixed it (Zathor?) thank you very much, 2872 is working fine!...thanks again.

Just gave the 2876 update a try and it works great! Thanks for the quick fix, it's most appreciated.

v2836 On-Click Failure

Just "upgraded" to 2836 and am struggling to get it to work. With every attempt to run a one-click job, the resulting video is nothing but a green screen with the words "Bad license" at the top of the screen. The encoding takes 3 minute and should be taking 30 minutes. No errors are returned and the log file shows everything processed perfectly.

That bad license error indicates that you do not have a valid license file for DG tools in the same directory as DGDecodeNV.dll.

Well, DGIndexNV works by itself and in version 2624, plus I verified the license validity with the DGIndex people.

Just to be clear, I have a folder named DGIndexNV in the MeGUI "tools" folder. In the DGindexNV folder are the DGIndexNV.exe, DGIndexNV.dll, DGDecodeNV and license.txt files.

"the DGIndex people"

videoh = DG

Check your system for stray copies of DGDecodeNV.dll, for example, in your plugin directories. Avisynth+ is not always so transparent about where it picks up the DLL. If you still have the problem after making sure there is only the one DLL there in the folder and nowhere else, then we may have to get Zathor involved.

Then you were the "people" person that confirmed it!

Checked around, found a copy in the Avisynth+ plugins folder (but I think I need it there) and removed it (temporarily). Still, the file created was a green screen with the "Bad license" message. So, that rules that possibility out.

I recently backed-up my UHD disc version of Blade Runner Final Cut and have been most impressed that its colour doesn't have the blueish tinge that the VC-1 Blu-ray disc release has.

BRD disc [VC-1]:-


UHD disc [HEVC]:-


Anyway, my question is... What are my options to configure MeGUI to generate an 10-bit HEVC encode at 1920x1080 pixels whilst preserving the colour?


Cheers

Green Screen Resolved - New Question

Ignore my recent posts. I have solved the green screen with the "Bad license" message. Unfortunately, it may not be helpful to others as I simply deleted the entire MeGUI folder and downloaded a replacement. Must have been a corrupt file in the first download.

@SeeMoreDigital:

Complaints about wrong hues always remind me of wrong colorimetry interpretation by the decoder/player/renderer (like 601 vs. 709, and now even 2020)...

And smaller images or even linked thumbnails are preferred here over page filling screenshots.

File Output - Directory Selection In Batch Mode

With the One-Click encoder, single files can be directed to a chosen output folder. However, when a folder input (for batch jobs) is selected, there is no way (that I can find) to choose an output directory location. The entire output of the batch process is placed in the source folder. Is there a way to set the output folder for batch jobs?

Actually, the blueish tinge is only evident in the 'Final Cut' release of Blade Runner.

The 'Theatrical Cut', 'International Theatrical Cut' and the 'Directors Cut' versions of the movie look more like the UHD release colour-wise. All the aforementioned versions are available within the '30th Anniversary Collectors Edition' Blu-ray disc boxed set.

Thank you, that does work. However, that sets the default location for all processes. While it is better than nothing, I was looking for the ability to do this from the One-Click encoder such as can be done with single files. That way it is for a given situation, rather than as a default for all.

It seems that it was an oversight in the design of the GUI. I'll add it to the list for improvements.

Very cool that you guys have added mp4fpsmod to the package. Previously for my variable bitrate mp4s I was using mp4fpsmod after the fact manually.

MediaInfo Warning/Error

With every One-Click job run, I receive the warning/error that the file cannot be opened under the MediaInfo log entry. The files process ok, but this message leaves me concerned. Is this something that can be fixed or is it ok to ignore it?
