MeGUI wont work

[neo squidward]

After I choose my avs script I get this error
http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=megui3iu.jpg

I have avisynth, and .net framework 1.1 installed (I even uninstalled my previous version of .net framework just to install 1.1). Maybe I am making my scripts wrong? Here is one I tried using:

avisource("C:\shows\nlcv.avi")

and another:

directshowsource("c:\shows\nlcv.avi")

can you post the contents of the details, up until the point where you get xml fragments (exclude those, they are useless)?

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Reported in the development thread and x264 dev thread. this is the latest x264-megui revision.

[jackiehcs]

I have the same problem too(with the MeGUI in x264 rev.381)
This only makes me unable to preview the input, but it can still encode properly.

[neo squidward]

No, it won't encode for me. When I start the encoding it begins then gives this error in the log

Next job job1 is a video job. encoder commandline:
"C:\Program Files\x264\x264.exe" --bitrate 1000 --ref 3 --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --subme 6 --b-rdo --weightb --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --threads 2 --progress --no-psnr --output "C:\shows\fgmovie.mp4" "C:\shows\fgmovie.avs"
successfully set up video encoder and callbacks for job job1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Log for job job1

avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
could not open input file 'C:\shows\fgmovie.avs'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Sirber]

"DIB "
AVISynth error. Start the AVS with MPC.

[jackiehcs]

just add
ConvertToYV12()
in the AVS

[neo squidward]

Oh good I took something out of the avs and now it encodes.

[Sirber]

can we see your avs? ;)

[neo squidward]

avisource("c:\shows\family guy - stewie griffin the untold story.avi")
converttoyv12

[Sirber]

What did you remove?

[puffpio]

I also have a problem.

Running megui 0.2.3.1018 built by sharktooth

anytime I try to load an avs script I get an error which I will paste below.
The script loads just fine in virtualdub and also media player classic.

------------script------------------
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")

video = mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\work\as\as.d2v")
video = video.DeDot()
video = video.AssumeTFF()
interp = video.separatefields().selecteven().EEDI2(field = 1)
video = video.tdeint(edeint=interp)
#video = video.fft3dGPU(sigma=3, bt=4, sharpen=0.7, plane=1, mode=1)
#video = video.fft3dGPU(sigma=3, bt=4, sharpen=0.7, plane=0, mode=1)
video = video.FFT3DFilter(sigma=3, plane=4, bt=4, sharpen=0.7)
video = video.crop(4, 0, -4, -4)
video = video.LanczosResize(512, 384)
#video = video.ColorMatrix(d2v="C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\work\as\as.d2v")

return video

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

We've now had three posts about the same bug. Three posts, and three identical errors posted. As ChronoCross said (he reported this bug first), Reported in the development thread and x264 dev thread The bug has been reported, it is reproducible and I have posted a bugfix, so can we stop with reporting the same bug, as you aren't contributing anything new.
