I think the help for the quantizer compression is misleading. Now it says

Allowed variance of average quantizer (or quality). Higher values indicate less variance, while lower values indicate more variance. Note: 1 indicates constant quality while 0 indicates maximum fluctuation.

Since we now have a "constant quality" mode, using the word quality here is misleading. My suggestion is to write:

Restrict the quantizer curve to be constant. Higher values indicate a more constant average quantizer, while lower values indicate more variance. Note: 1 indicates constant quantization parameter while 0 indicates maximum fluctuation.

and maybe add

(Warning: constant quantization, constant bitrate and constant quality are three different things!)

MeGUI will gives an error if you try to load an avisynth script with norwegian characters in the path name. I have reproduced this on the three latest vista builds up to 5728 (post rc 1)

solution: dont use weird characters in filenames and paths.

solution: dont use weird characters in filenames and paths.

I could figure that out my self, but I do find you comment somewhat insulting because what you are saying are weird characters are a part of my alphabet.

I thought you might like to know about the bugs I find in MeGUI. Oh well.

What this tells me, is that the code that handles the path settings in MeGUI only support a narrow sett of ASCII characters, which probably means that more people are experiencing this error.

sharktooth lives in a country where "," is used instead of "." as a decimal indicator. As far as I know, he has to put up with a bug in the AVS creator where the fps is parsed incorrectly. So his comment is not out of spite, but simple common sense that he also has to live with :)

i know this has been posted about but heres an update on the adaptive muxer issue

i have been testing (say testing i will do more discs later) carlitos way pal r2

encode 1

xvid avi - vid
vbr mp3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to avi container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is all messed up - have audio

encode 2

xvid avi - vid
cbr mp3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to avi container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is all messed up - have audio

encode 3

xvid avi - vid
ac3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to avi container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is all messed up - have audio

encode 4

xvid raw - vid
vbr mp3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to mkv container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is fine - have audio

encode 5

xvid raw - vid
cbr mp3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to mkv container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is fine - have audio

encode 6

xvid raw - vid
ac3
58% comp check
Didees SixOfNine.cqm
2 pass
muxed to mkv container

resulting avi (no audio) plays fine, when muxed picture is fine - have audio

i could post the other encodes i did but they are the same - in the results area - although i did change the audio and container aac/mp4

with divxmux i kept getting invalid audio as i have previously reported - if someone can give me the web addy or email i will report the issue

strange thing is i dont know why adaptive mux doesnt want to do avi but will do mkv fine.

I'm still waiting for those samples to reproduce the avi muxing issue............ don't expect developers to just trip overthemselves if you don't provide everything needed to reproduce. You may not agree with this, but for a free product, you are asking a heck of a lot of you think developers would start encoding movies just to try and help you.

Carpo

30th September 2006, 11:57

nevermind - this will have to wait i have rl issues to deal with, and this is not a major issue now as i can mux it into an mkv container, as stated above

Sharktooth

1st October 2006, 00:44

:) Then we have something in common!
Well, it's more a windows filesystem->visual studio integration problem than a megui problem.
i know norwegian, danish, swedish and german languages have those characters in their alphabet (im learning norwegian and other nordic languages during free time coz i really like your history and legends and i want to be able to read the whole Edda in it's original language) but i just want to suggest you to not use those chars in common programs coz they will likely screw that filesystem->visual studio integration (due to VS internal unicode to ansi conversion issues...).

bond

1st October 2006, 19:38

two things i noticed:

1) there is no avi output with x264 (a good thing), therefore there is also no need to offer a fourcc in the x264 settings

2) when the user is choosing a specific level, shouldnt the vbv settings be automatically set and greyed out?

DeathTheSheep

12th October 2006, 00:02

If "autostart queue" is checked in options, and autoencode is set to "use profile settings," the queue only does the first job (audio encoding).

Why doesn't it continue until the job is done? Works fine when queue is manually started.

check

12th October 2006, 00:39

known issue - it only ever does the first job with that option :(

Does anyone know the reason/eta for the update server?

If the "Show Commandline" option is checked, the commandline shown won't work if copypasted into a cmd window if there are any spaces in the foldernames to x264.exe, for example:

C:\Program Files\x264\x264.exe --crf 14 --nf (etc.)

should be:

"C:\Program Files\x264\x264.exe" --crf 14 --nf (etc.)

The commandline generator should be modified to include quote characters around the exe path and filename always, or optionally only if any folder names in the path contain spaces.

Sharktooth

13th October 2006, 13:37

Do you really care about that?

Isochroma

13th October 2006, 20:20

Yep! I copypaste the cmdline into cmd windows all the time.

Of course, that is why the option to show a commandline is there, right?

Doom9

13th October 2006, 21:07

What happened with my post?
Actually show commandline is a debug feature, nothing more.. why would megui be able to do all it does if its purpose was to show you commandlines you paste into a commandline window?

When I try to load a d2v file in avisynth script creator or an avs in meGUI, this error comes up:

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9761/ciaosl3.png (http://imageshack.us)

the last line translated to english sound like: exception launched by an external application

bacause of this, I uninstalled completely avisynth, ffdshow, xvid, megui, x264 vfw (all also from the registry), I tried different versions of avysinth, installed yv12 helix codecs, but I have the same exact problem. Is there a way to find a solution without formatting all the disk ? :mad:

Sharktooth

17th October 2006, 14:54

Did you follow the instructions? Have you made an avs and tried to open it in vdub (or MPC)?
Check if you have the dgdecode plugin in the correct directory, :search: and :readguid:

buzzqw

17th October 2006, 14:58

as written. Try opening avs in virtualdub and watch the error.

Also post here the avs script.

Also, again, no need to scramble your pc: just install avisynth 2.56, x264.exe (NO need for VFW), and .NET 2.0.

Use the package that Check have posted on "megui don't update thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=116991)" (is one of latest post).

oops, I forgot to mention:
1)I use meGUI since 0.2.3.1032 ^_^
also because of this I am very astonished......

2) trying opening an avs script in virtualdub prodoces the error "avisynth script open failed", virtualdubmod crashes without any error, dgindex and dgdecode are where they have to be, and that error comes also if I load an avi in avisynthscript creator

3) MPC simply remain on "opening..." stage with 99% of processor and about 240 megs on memory usage.
this is a sample of avs file, but , I'll repeat, all avs imported give that error

LoadPlugin("C:\programmi\avisynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")

Mpeg2Source("G:\dvd\NUOVAC~2\VIDEO_TS\vendetta\vendetta.d2v")

17th October 2006, 20:37

Uninstall avisynth, search for and remove any instances of avisynth.dll (make sure you search hidden and system fiels too). Reinstall the latest. Do the same with dgdecode (dgindex.exe & dgdecode.dll). That should fix whatever incompatibility you're running into. Just make sure you update megui's path if your avisynth folder changes.

In version 2192 - does`t automatically apply delay correction.
Where take version 2190? (and it would be not bad - if somebody post link to archive of versions in the first post)

About adaptive muxer - after downloading (autoupdate) MediaInfo.dll and MediaInfoWrapper.dll - when loading a raw video - megui "down"

If version 2192 works perfect for you - tell me how correctly make autoupdate??

22nd October 2006, 23:54

the delay addition I have no idea if it's in working state or not at the moment - I don't use megui for muxing.
As for the update, are you sure they exist in your megui\ file? Other than that, I have no idea, try manually updating them.

Hmm, I seem to have a problem with subtitles, but I'm not sure if it's a muxing problem or a playback problem. Would someone mind testing this clip for me quickly (only 5MB)?

I saw some reports of a similar error back in Jan 2006.

See the jpg

Basically: Job= TS -> MKV(x264 / Ac3) - with the Ac3 just muxed NOT re-encoded

1. Choose Encode video to x264
2. Press AUTOENCODE, select addition stuff for mkv, choose the ac3 file (so we just mux it)
3. Next screen pops up, as - normal
4. Click go - we see this error "unable to proceed"

If you generate a MP4 with x264/aac the whole autoencode works fine.... in fact if you transcode to a lower ac3 level it also works. So the bug seems to be the queue for just muxing. I did not have a problem a few weeks ago ...

Suggestions???? All program paths are correct, choosing MKV muxer brings up the proper ac3 file

When i go to the filters tab in avscreator where i get to analyse my video to give me back options for deinterlacing I get an error message saying that i am missing TIVTC.dll from my avisynth/plugins folder but i have both the .dll file and the backup file. I don't know what's wrong but i can't use it. Also during the progress where i demux a video, when i change priority to normal DGIndex is crushing.

Please help me out

Thanks

29th October 2006, 20:18

Same here.
Happened after I did an autoupdate, so I suspect the new TIVTC version causes it.

I also just updated TIVTC to the latest version (1.0 RC7) and am getting this error.

please let megui autoupdate and see if the problem persists.

Try in version 2192 - load audio file # "T01 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY -80ms.ac3" - and you see that delay automatic not apply
2 major bugs !

1. Yes, the audio delay is broken in 2 places!
- at the audio encoder configuration panel: delay correction (try it with small sample with a large (2000 ms) amount). It's strange, because it's code is behappy ...
- at the muxer part (at least I have tried mp4 muxer)

Workaround if you got delay till it'll be fixed:
- use behappy
- create an avs script like this (behappy's using these), and encode this:
NicAc3Source("filename DELAY -137ms.ac3")
EnsureVBRMP3Sync() # Some black magic to avoid desync
# Delay Audio by -137 ms
DelayAudio( -137.0/1000.0)

2. MeGUI_darx and MeGUI_dary avisynth global vars doesn't null-ed after an encode !!! -> so if the next one doesn't have these vars in the script it will have in the encode !!!
If the next one has these vars, no problem, it will properly set these values.
So maybe the fix can be: at the beginning of every encode these vars must be null-ed.

Try it with 2 avs script:
- the 1. have these values (anamorphic encode) -> queue
- the 2. doesn't (non-anamorphic encode) -> queue
- encode

3. it's not exactly a bug: if the source is 1080p material, the picture doesn't fit in the 19'' screen in the avs creation, so I can't use the slider below the screen.
Possibly fixes:
- make this window drag-able not just only on the title
- or as it's working in AvsP v1.3.1

Question: doesn't think about integrating AvsP v1.3.1 in megui (like behappy) ?
It has lots of features, and will be opensource too ...

At final: thanks again this great proggy ...

OK, I'm getting kinda frustrated trying to figure this one out..

I've been trying to rip Ronin (US DVD-release) to my iPod for a while, and meGUI is doing great, for the most part. (I used the mewiki iPod-guide, with only one exception, I use 700kbit/sec instead of 1000kbit/sec for the video.)

I muxed the video and audio and put it into iTunes, played it to see if it worked, but no sound..

First thing I do is to check the audio-file, and it sounds awfull.. The audio-file sounds like it's been run through a flanger/wahwah filter, kinda phase-shifting at a rate of 0.5Hz (if anyone could point me to a cutting-tool, I'd post a sample).

I tried encoding the same .ac3 to MP3, and that works fine so it has to be something about the Nero AAC, but the weird thing is that I can only reproduce it with Ronin.. I've transcoded The Boondock Saints (also US DVD release) just fine with the same settings. Only difference I can think of is that TBC was encoded on an AMD64 3500+, and Ronin on an AMD64 X2 4600+..
Try encoding the audio separately with the same encoder but with a different tool (SNG or behappy).
Ensure you have the latest encoder version (neroaac 1.0.0.2) and check if the problem persists. If it does, then it's a nero encoder problem and you should inform nero about that.
