MeGUI Bug-Report Thread

[Doom9]

see the first post.... it's already in the list

[stax76]

@CruNcher

I'm thinking it must be your setup because somebody else would have reported this before. You said you are a programmer (you don't program .NET as it seems) so maybe you can provide enough information to find the reason, the usual tactics apply.

[mlmll]

Symptom: see screen capture (french part says what's in post title): http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9630/capture20is.png

Steps to reproduce: just loading an avs script.

Content of avs script:
DirectShowSource("C:\path_to_vob\VIDEO_TS\VTS_08_1.VOB",fps=25,audio=false)
#blank deinterlace line
crop( 0, 10, -2, -10)

#resize
#denoise
Note: mentioned VTS_08_1.VOB is a 3.57GB file, ripped with DVDDecrypter

Thanks for any hint. :)

edit: tried with latest 2.5 AviSynth version (2.5.6), the problem remains.

[ChronoCross]

version of megui?

[mlmll]

version of megui?
Oh yes, sorry. 0.2.3.2132. But I get this with 0.2.3.2125 too.

[berrinam]

DirectShowSource("C:\path_to_vob\VIDEO_TS\VTS_08_1.VOB",fps=25,audio=false)
#blank deinterlace line
crop( 0, 10, -2, -10)

#resize
#denoiseLooks like a problem with the AviSynth script. It should really be

MPEG2Source("C:\path_to_vob\VIDEO_TS\VTS_08_1.d2v")
#blank deinterlace line
crop( 0, 10, -2, -10)

#resize
#denoise
From the looks of it, though, you got MeGUI to generate it, so MeGUI must be generating them incorrectly (I think it must have been my commit where I added DirectShowSource support for any file). I'll look into it later, but for the time being you should be able to get it to work by going Tools->D2V creator, selecting your VOB file, checking 'load sources when completed' and telling iit to run. Then you can generate your avisynth script from that.

[mlmll]

Thanks berrinam ! I did what you said and now I get this fatal error:
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9751/capture25hb.png

Do I miss some plugin or something ?

[chipzoller]

I get megui to crash when I use v0.2.3.2132-Stable and create an avisynth script from an AVI source. I first get a message about there being no function called directshowsource (shouldn't it load as AVISource?) then megui crashes.

The AVI file in question has the following specs. as reported by mediainfo.

Video #0
Codec : DivX 3 Low
Bit rate : 751 Kbps
Width : 320
Height : 240
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 10 fps
(Pixel*Frame) : 0.978

Audio #0
Codec : MPEG1/2 L3
Info : MPEG1 or 2 Audio Layer 3
Bit rate : 24 Kbps
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Sampling rate : 22 KHz

[ChronoCross]

AVI's should be loaded using AVISOURCE. but that's not how it is currently written. It uses directshowsource for all sources not call .d2v.

your probbaly missing the directshowsource plugin which is why it gives that error. Also if you try loading it with avisource and it still fails you may need to enable a correct decoder for it as it's not playable by either xvid or the current divx.

Check the divx forum for more info (it's in a sticky)

[berrinam]

It is better to use DirectShowSource, because (aside from the unreliable system) many more codecs are supported, and thus many more files are supported. If you don't have directshowsource, then you might also be running on an old version of AviSynth, since it comes with DSS.

[ariga]

When trying to change the settings of an enqueued job, the DAR settings are deleted. Using version 2.3.2132

EDIT: Also, the context help still refers to it as SAR.

oops, mkvMuxWindow.cs should no longer be in the repository.

[chipzoller]

ChronoCross and Berrinam,

ChronoCross, I know I talked to you about ForcedFILM vs. Honor Pulldown flags being set by default in dgindex installed with megui. You said it should, upon default install, be set to 'Honor Pulldown flags' but I just did a clean install of the megui essentials package and immediately checked this option to see how it was set...it was set to 'Forced FILM', so I guess you may want to have a look at this.

[ChronoCross]

it's probably because I forgot to delete my config file for DGindex. not a big issue but it takes about 5 seconds to fix.

I have an error or my own to report. Development version Megui doesn't do raw aac correctly. It's not playable in winamp. Even though anything created in raw aac using winamp works fine. Can someone look into this?

[chipzoller]

it's probably because I forgot to delete my config file for DGindex

Then next time you update the megui essentials package, would you please include this update?

thanks,

CZ

[ChronoCross]

Additional Error: use the Tool/One click encoder button causes MeGUI to crash.

I'm currently also redesigning the file structure for MeGUI's essentials package to conform to what Berrinam had wanted earlier. I'll pm you with it's location once I'm done.

[shon3i]

@berrinam i download build 2135 and again can't use cqm for xvid.

thanks

[berrinam]

Huh? You have to select Custom in Quantizer matrix first (on the first page). I know it's disorganised.... if someone wants to redesign it, please go ahead (but it's probably not so easy right now, because CVS is down).

[ChronoCross]

LMP4 Video Codec's configure dialog does not open. it throws an error.

[berrinam]

Fixed in 0.2.3.2136

[Doom9]

You have to select Custom in Quantizer matrix first (on the first page).Your screenshot is from the second page (tab).. go to the first one (Main), and almost at the bottom you have "Quantization Type" which is a dropdown having 3 options: H.263, MPEG and Custom. If you select custom, you can then go to the zones tab (urgh.. was that visual studio that rearranged the tabs? advanced is supposed to come before zones) and then you can select an intra frame matrix (forget acout inter frame matrix.. it's no longer enabled and it will disappear shortly). As soon as you select the quantization matrix to custom, the button to load an intra frame matrix will be enabled.. that's where you load your CQM.

[shon3i]

Oh Doom9 Thanks.

I got the source from here:
0.2.3.2136 10 May 2006
Commit by berrinam:
- Fixed Profile Importing/Exporting's CQM handling for XviD
- Added tritical's fix for AviSynthWrapper
- Fixed OneClick window loading
- Fixed LMP4 config loading

Enjoy.

During compilation, I got following error (since v0.2.3.3135):

:
VideoPlayer.cs(611,35): error CS1010: Newline in constant
:


The error line in "VideoPlayer.cs":

this.parXLabel.Text = "?;

I suppose you mean something like this:

this.parXLabel.Text = "?";


Then it compiles without error.

[berrinam]

Ahhh.....

it compiles fine on my computer. What it should actually have is the times symbol (×). You can get this by typing Alt+0215. I suspect that something is up which causes this not to be formatted correctly on your computer. Maybe this should just be kept as an x, not a ×.

[Doom9]

you must have some old files because I can compile those sources just fine.. and I don't have any souces lying around where I unpacked that zip to.
Line 611 from the zip contains the following:
this.parXLabel.Text = "×";

[bob0r]

Small (useless) visual bug: 2136 compiles a version named "2135" :sly:

[leowai]

This may be the cause of by my OS is set to non-English OS under control panel, i.e. Chinese Simplified.

My system read ACSII chars as a single width char. It screwed up when reading char Alt+0215 (hex D7). It treat Alt+0215 and the next char (" -> hex 22) as a single charactor. That's why I have such question mark readed and compilation goes wrong.

In order to read Alt+0215 correctly in my system, the charactor should be a double width char with hex value of "FF FE D7 00". So, I need to mannually change this in order to compile in non-English OS. :(

Hope these explained the error...

[edit]
I converted it to utf-8 unicode format, with corrected char Alt+0215, it works fine (the compiler accept unicode src file). I think Unicode should be the solution to both users whose OS is set to English and non-English....

oops, mkvMuxWindow.cs should no longer be in the repository.
But it still in latest svn repository (rev3).

[ChronoCross]

do not use the svn respository. I'm not even sure what's going on with it. None of the devs should be committing to it if I remember correctly.

[Deep_Eyes]

After downloading Revsion 522 for x264 sharktooth build, I went to the bitrate calc option and changed avi to mp4 then changed the size, then click okay, I got this error poping up

[Deep_Eyes]

also same error on this "2136" build from the link here. Which visual bug i guess that's what its being called, still says 2135.

[ChronoCross]

@Deep_Eyes
Confirmed. It just has to do with the mp4 setting. if you just open the calc change to mp4 and hit okay the problem occurs.

Seems like you didn't really use the latest 2136 source where this was fixed, where only the version number was wrong.

Please fix the problem and stick with SVN, automation is key for lazy people!!

I am using MeGUI 0.2.3.2135, Video Profile HQ-Insane with CQM eqm_avc_hr and I am not encoding or adding any audio, just video.

I followed the same steps that I always use: D2V Creator, AviSynth Script Creator, Autoencode -> Filesize (in this case 1177MB, which predicts an Average Bitrate of 1415 kbit/s). Any hints? Thanks in advance.

[berrinam]

It's probably just a bug with the refactor. Go back to an older version of MeGUI (something like 0.2.3.2130). That should fix the bug.

[juerginst]

Thanks! Now a stupid question, I was installing MeGUI with Sharktooth's x264-Std_r***. It was working with x264-Std_r512 and I got this problem with x264-Std_r520 and x264-Std_r522.

I don't have x264-Std_r512 anymore. Where can I download MeGUI 0.2.3.2130? I looked at sourceforge (http://www.sf.net/projects/megui) but the latest version seems to be 0.2.3.2116. Thanks.

[juerginst]

I got it! http://chronocrossdev.com/apps/megui/. 0.2.3.2132 solved the problem. Thanks.

the megui huffy code must be changed to remove -noodml. Icould do it myself but I can't commit it in any official form.

[Deep_Eyes]

just finished complieing svn downloaded code, works fine.. Thanks =)


- I spoke too soon, I added a avs script, went to change the same information, framerate to 29, then change it to mp4, then change the file size from 700 to 20 and clicked OKAY.. same problem

Same issue as before, click on bitrate calc hit mp4 hit okay boom same thing happends.

[Sharktooth]

The problem is in the still incomplete Vorbis support.

[berrinam]

Bitrate calculator bugs are to be expected, because they still use the same code from before the refactor. I have put a warning message when using it, because it still needs a reworking.

I've fixed the AutoEncode bitrate calculation bug (bitrate wasn't set).

I should have fixed all the other bugs mentioned here as well, except for the mencoder huffy commandlines (I haven't set it up for testing, and it can wait a bit, because it doesn't actually cause a crash).

[bob0r]

The tab Changelog.txt is wrong again. (not windows style new lines)

Not for me....
