MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread - Page 31

for the virtualization, is .net installed on all relevant machines? It sounds like a .net limitation, rather than a program limitation.
The crashing looks like x264 is just randomly dieing, Try completely different settings on the same source and see if that helps.

I guess my Jedi powers aren't that great - how am I supposed to crop without the preview window open? Auto-crop doesn't work and if I had to manually guess those numbers it would be a waste of time.

I will try this though:

1) open AviSynth script creator
2) Close the preview window that opens automatically, thats showing a suggested resize of 640 x * (that never made sense to me, maybe that is the source of it)
3) Change the width value of resize to 720
4) Click Preview
5) Click Auto-crop
6) Click the Clever Anamorphic Encoding
7) Save the script

Let me know if this makes sense, or if I should be doing something different

Thanks a bunch!

edit: scratch all of that, I dont think this is going down the right path

To check: good point on .NET, I'll check that

As for different sources, I did try different sources, no success. I also tried an older script that I had, significantly different, and it did not work either. I do KNOW that this script did work on the same machine...

I guess I'll have to revert back to an older version of x264

You did install the .NET 2.0 runtime on your virtual machine, did you not?
I have no problem running MeGUI via remote desktop, VMWare server console, and remote desktop to a virtual machine.

But if your box crashes with x264, your box has a problem.. it's near impossible for a software like x264 to crash your machine unless it is unstable (e.g. it gets too hot due to the load, then crashes)

VincentNguyen · 10th October 2006, 16:54

Good spot on .NET, it does work now in VMWare. I can now try various settings and AVISynth installation without fearing to crash my Server.

Doom9 · 10th October 2006, 16:55

@agressiv: You're doing it all wrong. Open the source, press autocrop. Cropping needs to be done with the original source preview.

agressiv · 10th October 2006, 17:06

I'm starting to do the math on this, and I guess it makes sense.

A DVD is 720 x 480 (1.5:1)
Anamorphic content on the DVD is 853ish x 480 (1.7777:1)

The movie I was messing with had an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, so doing the math (853 / 2.35), you get a height of 362.98. If you resize to mod16 (without overcropping), you get 368.

368 is the value MeGUI automatically chooses. So in order to keep the anamorphic image (since MeGUI won't upscale), its doing its job.

The 2.35:1 setting in Zoom player is just compensating for this, I would imagine.

Forgive any technical inaccuracies, though, I'm just trying to use logic based on my own, (limited) knowledge.

Understood, but by default MeGUI opens the preview window automatically, with 640 already in the resize window. That complicated things, so it seems.

Sharktooth · 10th October 2006, 21:24

resize is unchecked by default.

agressiv · 10th October 2006, 21:36

With the out of the box "Default Profile.xml" in the profiles\avs directory, resize is checked by default, with 640 in the box.

I never really understood that. I'm assuming its safe (and recommended) to change that.

I just restored the Default Profile.xml that is in the original archive (or whatever was downloaded with auto-update, I dont remember honestly) and attached is the screenshot of what I get.

check · 10th October 2006, 23:34

hmm, well that is strange - resize comes off in my version. You haven't made a second avs profile and that is in use have you. Anyway, just disable the auto resizing in the xml (if you need help doing that ask), and all should be groovy.

turstar · 11th October 2006, 02:37

Please, error ?

NO UPDATE

jellysandwich · 11th October 2006, 03:40

You need to put DGDecode.dll into your avisynth plugins folder in order to use DGDecode_Mpeg2Source.

They know the site is having problems. Give it time.

Also, I have a quick question about subtitles. If I wanted to have a mp4 file with both srt and idx subtitles, does it matter what order I put them in (ie, srt first and idx second or vice versa)? Obviously, it doesn't matter when you play it on a computer, but would it matter for a hardware player that can only play srt subtitles?

check · 11th October 2006, 10:07

You would want to put the compatible subtitle format in first I would assume. Make a 2 minute clip and test.

turstar · 12th October 2006, 03:58

please, help

error ???

TIVTC.dll ++ download ???

chipzoller · 12th October 2006, 04:01

As it says, there is no function called TFM because Avisynth can't find the plugin. Get it from Tritical's page here

NeD tHe OnE · 12th October 2006, 15:06

Code:

Error:
MeGUI.AviSynthException: Script error: there is no function named "NicMPG123Source"
   at MeGUI.AviSynthClip..ctor(String func, String arg, AviSynthColorspace forceColorspace, AviSynthScriptEnvironment env)
   at MeGUI.AviSynthAudioEncoder.encode()

Hi! No matter what i do I get this error. I have Avisynth, megui all the required plugins in avisynth.plugins directory! But I dont know where i went wrong I just cant transcode any audio file!

NeD tHe OnE · 12th October 2006, 15:09

I've read the guide of Behappy too.. I've set everything right!

and i am still getting that error

chipzoller · 12th October 2006, 15:11

I've found that this type of error is usually caused by either bad or conflicting plugins in the Avisynth plugins directory. What you may need to do is clean out the plugins dir completely and fill it back up with the basic and necessary plugins. Also, make sure the plugins in your dir are compatible with your processor, so for instance if you copied your plugins from a box with a P4 to another with an AMD Xp processor, make sure none are using SSE2 extensions or anything parsing the plugins will throw an error.
