MeGUI Bug-Report Thread

[Avish]

foobar is only correct, and i told you (sbr) HE-AAC must have 22050Hz and when play this file decoder reconstruct(upsample) to 44100. Everything is fine.I'm not sure about that. Cause' I'm not playing that file in foobar, I just added it to playlist & viewed properties, so foobar's decoder isn't in use. So your saying "decoder upsamples to 44100" doesn't apply here. ;)

And how could u say "Everything is fine" when MPC & CoreAAC both are showing different & wrong infos! MPC says its a Mono file, while it's a stereo. And CoreAAC says its 93kbps, while it's a 48kbps!!! :rolleyes:

Well, what I want finally is that, when I'll put it in mkv & will view it in MPC, I want it to show the correct info in its properties.

That's all. :)

[foxyshadis]

Support or lack thereof in AAC players isn't a MeGUI problem. But their only problem is in reporting, all the players you listed will decode it properly. (Technically, HE-AAC is 22khz "extended" to 44khz, and PS is mono "extended" to stereo, thus MPC's confusion. Talk to Gabest about it. Also CoreAAC is correct as well.)

If you put it in mkvmerge, read the manual and remember to signal HE!

[Raziel6969]

Means ffvh wasn't enabled on the ffdshow VFW config (separate from the main video config). It should be by default, but I guess not in your case.
Thanks! that solved my problem.

Sorry for write this so late! :P

[EsTaF]

C'mon, remember rule 1: read before posting.

You clearly haven't read the MeGUI guide, which is a sticky in this forum. It lists all the dlls that are needed for AviSynth encoding, it tells you where to put them, and it links to them, so you should have no problem finding them. Obviously from your two error messages, it is clear that you haven't set up bsn.dll in the right place, and you haven't put nicaudio.dll in your avisynth plugins folder.

And where is guide of megui?

[Sharktooth]

Sticked!

Thanks..
If be I known English yet .. ;)
Because I didn't find it fast..

for all, I copied all libs, that man asked for megui.
But I see simular troubles, what I saw on 22th page of this topic as soon as I begin to encode audio 2 mp4 audio with megui

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

Aaaa.. exuse me.. I turned on directshow. without one all are ok...

you need to install avisynth.

I did a encode in AVI / XVID container with autoencode and failed. I think the problem is with xvid_encraw, because I didn't have problem enconding by mencoder with megui 2132.
The job1-1 start and finish in 1 second. I can't start the encode with the command line below too.
My guess is that xvid_encraw don't support AVS as input.
Is there any way to force use mencoder instead xvid_encraw? I tried remove xvid_encraw directory but megui still try encode with xvid_encraw instead mencoder.

xvid_encraw - raw mpeg4 bitstream encoder written by Christoph Lampert 2002-2003

Trying to retrieve width and height from input header
Couldn't open statsfile 'C:\encodes\ygh1.stats'!

[Rumbah]

I just ran into the bug that Inc described.
I have a 4:3 video with a resolution of 528:576. Now I cropped away 166 lines and MeGui resulted in a ratio of 37:20 (the height gets resized to 416 from 406 to be a multiple of 16). But that leads to a width fo 976 pixels and that's too much.
As MeGui calculates the wrong values I have to do it myself. Now the question is how to do it correctly.

As I ony cropped the heigth, the horizontal resolution has to stay at 768 as in the original video. Then the video is stretched from a height of 406 to 416 so it is streched by (416/406). So I stretch the "original" width by (416/406), too and get 768*416/406 as the new horizontal resolution. Now I have to get the ratio of the of the real height and the desired height. So I get (768*416/406)/528 as the ratio.
The reduced fraction then is 3328/2233. Is that the correct AR?

Aren't you wondering why the following is in the log:

It not only tells you exactly what went wrong.. it also tells you how to correct it. The only bug insofar as megui is concerned is that the second job is even started.

[acrespo]

I get the wrong part of log. This is my first encode when I rename xvid_encraw to try a menconder encode but megui still try xvid_encraw.

This second part of the log is my encode with xvid_encraw:

I did other test but this time I check "Add pre-rendering job" to generate a huff video before xvid encode. The first pass (generate huff video) was OK. The second and third pass (xvid 1pass and 2pass) was OK too. The forth pass (mux audio and video) was not OK. This is the log of forth pass:

But the final video is gray. I can't see anything in the video. Then I did a manual mux in virtualdubmod and the final video is OK.

During add job to queue, the "Automatic Encoding" window (pressing Autoencode button), show Container = MP4 but I choose AVI in the main screen. I change to AVI in this window, check "Add additional content" and press Queue. In "Adaptative Mux" window the settings are the same of .MP4 container (Audio 1 and 2, Subttitles chapter etc) but I choose AVI in last window. I think this is the problem of Mux process.

[Doom9]

@acrespo: parts of your log for the last error are still missing... it's better to post too much information than too little.. we can always disregard information that's not pertinent.. but finding information that is pertinent but hasn't been posted is another story entirely ;)

Can you open your Avisynth script from the failed video jobs in VirtualDubMod? Because what the log says is that there's a problem opening your AviSynth script.

Well, the commandline looks right, so either it doesn't support such a high bitrate or there is something else funny going on. I don't think MeGUI is wrong here, though.

Actually, I used v2157

The muxed file does not play video in MPC, Nero Showtime and XBMC, but the audio does. The muxed filesize really is audio + video.

The m4v file does not play seperately.
The mp4 (audio) file does play seperately.

Specific bugs please, read the first page of the thread and make sure it's 0.2.3.2160 that you're reporting against.

[Teegedeck]

I'm having some uneasiness about the naming of parameters in the profiles XML files. The parameter 'LumiMasking' seems to be deprecated if this would mean XviD's lumimasking; actually 'AdaptiveQuant' triggers XviD's lumimasking AKA adaptive quantization. Strange, as AdaptiveQuant doesn't seem to be an xvid_encraw input option AFAIK. If one of the parameters is for XviD and one of them for x264, this should perhaps be made more clear?

Also, activating chroma optimization and HQ AC coefficients in the GUI doesn't seem to have any effect; they're not encraw options either, I think.

Autoencode work fine :rolleyes: Big thanks :thanks:

I don't have the script here, I will do this today yet. The ygh1.avs can be open in Virtualdubmod and Virtualdub when I did my encode. As I said in last post, when I ask for pre processing (generate huff avi file), xvid_encraw can do the encode. I will post the entire log today to you too.

Actually, I used v2157

The muxed file does not play video in MPC, Nero Showtime and XBMC, but the audio does. The muxed filesize really is audio + video.

The m4v file does not play seperately.
The mp4 (audio) file does play seperately.


Fixed in version 0.2.3.2160 :thanks:

[acrespo]

Here is the log in version 2160 with autoencode in AVI container (XVID encoder) with "pre-rendering job" checked.
I think that the problem is with the frame index. The video is playing like a corrupted file that don't have all indexes.
If I mux in Virtualdub or Virtualdub mod the problem is not occuring.

no problem here with same megui build

Tentative de lecture ou d'écriture de mémoire protégée. Cela indique souvent qu'une autre mémoire est endommagée.

my french is too old but this is an memory error, somelike "Error while reading or writing protected memory... most like memory is corrupted"

maybe a reboot could help.

Same error after rebooting. That appears at the end of encoding


This problem has appeared with new version
I have tested, I don't have this problem with build 2146 :( it's strange

The muxed file has audio/video sync problems. The gap increases during the movie, to 1.2 seconds in the end. The sync problem is exactly the difference between 23.9760 fps and 23.9800 fps, multiplied by the movielength.


Audio in ms = 6101738 = 6101.768 seconds - multiplied by 23.9800 = 146320 frames
Video in ms = 6102930 = 6102.930 seconds - multiplied by 23.9760 = 146325 frames

When I remux it at 23.9800 fps with YAMB, the sync is correct during the movie. I am aware that this not the correct fps.

For winamp CT-AAC to work it needs enc_aacplus.dll and nscrt.dll besides enc_aacPlus.exe. Should they be in autoupdate too?

[buzzqw]

@parcival

are you sure ? i have searched my hd for this dll and i haven't found it, but i have encoded several audio tracks with CT encoder


BHH

[Doom9]

@Teegedeck: there might be a bunch of xvid options that made sense for mencoder and no longer make sense for encraw. I must admit I just checked what encraw could do and added that the commandline generator and I did not check it against GUI options. So if you change an option and the commandline preview doesn't change, unless it's an actual bug the option has been deprecated and should be removed.

[foxyshadis]

buzzqw: It's required for the version that comes with winamp 5.2 (or 5.21? I forget), but not the older 5.1x versions.

[buzzqw]

@foxyshadis

thanks ! time to upgrade my winamp !

BHH

BHH
Yes you need both enc_aacplus.dll and nscrt.dll(winamp 5.22), but it's same encoder like winamp 5.20, 5.21, so you can use only enc_aacplus.dll from 5.20, 5.21 or enc_aacplus and nscrt.dll form 5.22

[ChronoCross]

@parcival

The reason the winamp dll's are not provided is because they are currently licensed to winamp. Distributing them apart from the winamp package is a violation of their AUP.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Since winamp 5.22 you need nscrt.dll (from winamp\plugins folder) too

Yes, I can't play my MP4 files at all without that file. But, from some strange reason, when I installed version 5.22, that file wasn't there.

So, if anyone can post link for download nscrt.dll and tell me exact path where to copy this file, it will be very nice.

[foxyshadis]

Install the full winamp, not one of the lite versions, and make sure all aac/mpeg4 related plugins are installed. A copy should show up in both the winamp folder and the plugins folder.
