Hello i dealing the last days with a crash problem when i try to update megui. At the beginning it crashed when it downloads the core update , but i passed it when a frind gave me the updated megui.exe. When i runned the new version it crashed at the next update : "data" exactly after it downloads the update again.

I have installed/uninstalled the NET Framework , cleared the registry from any megui recordings , deleted and re-created the folder of megui trying with the 3 last versions from scratch and from the completed folder that i had before i made format my pc.

The known window of "Megui has encoutered a problem..." appears each time..
I also had this problem, but fixed it by completely deleting my manual MeGUI install, and downloading the megui-install.exe package from http://x264.nl/ then updating from this. The update then completed successfully.

@Donholio: 0.2.4.1023 should work

Why is the default resampling in Avisynth script creator now bilinear instead of Lanczos? I would have thought the latter is optimal in most (all) cases.

Also, why was color correction turned off by default?

new defaults...
create your own avs profile with your preferred options before encoding

1023 has fixed all problems with my x86_64 situation. Thanks for the quick turnaround on this Sharktooth (and any other developers)!

Did something change in the Average Bit Rate Selection window when clicking Autoencode?

Previously I would enter in an average bit rate of 2,500 for a 2hr movie and it would give me a file size of between 2.1-2.5GB. Now after downloading the most recent version I when I enter in a bit rate of 2,500 I get a file size of 300mb. What's up with that?

Actually it was my mistake...I forgot that I had the Trim option in my avs script which was causing the problem.

Sorry

But I do have one other problem. Currently using version 1019. When I start MeGui I get the updates available for the Core. It says latest version is 1023. When I click Update, it downloads and completes. When it asks to restart MeGui I get an error indicating that MeGui could not run the update. It then stays at 1019.

as far as I can tell it doesn't download anything. At least I can't see any evidence of it. Try changing the priority of the mirrors and see if that fixes it.

latest version doesn't want to load avs scripts files on the OS drive, in this case C:, giving this error:

works fine when moved to either of my other two drives. more info here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119897)

EDIT: spoke too soon, worked a few times. stopped working again, regardless of drive. if i disable automatic preview in settings, it loads and encoding runs smoothly

Happens when I use AviSynth script creator then do the following in this order
1. Open a d2v
2. Close the video window
3. Press Auto crop (dialogue box comes up)
4. Press 'open in original video player' button
5. Press Auto crop again

Also with the updater... it gets stuck on STx264 File 33/35 with the latest .NET MeGUI 0.2.4.1020 if you run the updater

ChronoCross

30th December 2006, 02:26

you need to find the window that pops up in the Background......it'll tell you to import the profiles.

This is about the 800th person who has called this a bug when in reality it's not.

30th December 2006, 02:33

Ok then suggestion: Post a note on the first post outlining this

Also hmm perhaps those windows should be programmed pop up in the foreground?

Megui is crashing on my pc. I download just the exe; when i try to do an update; the application crashes. I tried it with updatecopier lastest version and everything updated even my OS and .NET . It is still crashing even in a new directory.

bananacreamandpeca

30th December 2006, 05:24

yep, me too. First time I updated with the new megui
Got stuck on 33/36 or something.
no other window with import profiles present.
And no other windows were open on the desktop :)

2nd time the 'imprt prfile window' distinctively pops up on th elft side. Before, megui just froze.

I'm having trouble with some other thing right now.

open AVS script, choose XVID and some 45% comp. check HQ profile,
I go to the matrix/open in settings and choose the cqm i downloaded from doom9 on my hd (so it points to the right location of the file
somewhere on my HD)
Que the jobs, it starts, after a while (not immediately)
the log says "job conatins errors" skipping jobs in jobchain.

why is that?

I;m doing a search now. all codecs are already there right?

F.N.!

30th December 2006, 05:25

probably xvid crashed for some reason.
ensure your system is stable.

mine hasn't shown up since last updating a couple days ago. But then again, I've only deleted jobs once since then

Seems pretty stable to me atm

question
can megui set proper fps when i click auto encode, not only 25fps :(

Sharktooth

30th December 2006, 14:13

FPS are set during the avisynth script creation.
If megui wrongly detected 25 FPS just chage it before saving the avs script.

for me that bug also has only showed up once after the update. so it doesnt seem to that anoying any more, since it doesnt occur that often, but nevertheless if it does the only way out again is the task manager. but at least that update fixed that I dont have to reinstall megui any more, I can just clear the queue with the new start of megui.

i created an new x264 profile (because i normally prefer changing 1 or 2 values of an old one but leave the profile unchanged). This "new" behavier is really annoying imo.... but back to my problem...

It was labeled as automatic 2pass but after the first pass finished it just stopped.... when i click on "start" i get the following error.
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2853/quebuggs9.th.png (http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=quebuggs9.png)
As you see there is still 1 job "waiting". i have to rightklick on it and select -->waiting and then i can start the 2nd pass with the "start" button.

And i get also get a crash when i try to delete jobs :/

Another bug in 0.2.4.1020 - I think somebody already reported it.

It happens when I select 2 jobs in jobs list and press "Delete" button. Something wrong with selection handling:

6582

It never(I think) happens if I use "Clear" button or use "Delete" button when only one job is selected.

it happens now the same to me too..

and after that the program not even start. So i uninstall it and install again , and when i update it i get:

Oh, right.
I have a crash report. When using the One click encoder to create a Ipod file, MeGUI crashes after the DGindex pass.

Actually it appears to create the DGindex file, analyze for interlacing, and then crash.

Can anyone confirm?

It seems there is a bug if you want to define an output for your audiofile. In the main window you can configure your audio settings and if you press the button right after the output path (with the 3 dots) there comes up an 'file open window' where you can't define a new outputfile. I think this is not to be intended (it should be an 'file save window').
Here is a link to the dialog window I mean.

It's a german windows xp pro but notice the headline:
it asks for output but wants to open (Öffnen) a file.

When I try to select movie in AviSynth Script Creator Megui closes itself. I have installed AviSynth 2.5.6a and the latest FFdshow.

I suspect problem with AviSynth because Megui is just a frontend.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Adub

2nd January 2007, 22:54

Try updating AviSynth.

Atak_Snajpera

2nd January 2007, 23:46

I made few tests and I have discovered that the problem in Megui is not related with AviSynth. AviSynth works very well on VISTA. It must be something wrong in MeGUI! Sharktooth please heeelp :)

i'm encoding my audio to ogg vorbis, multichannel, quality 0.6. the size of the resulting files is the same as when i set it to multichannel, quality 0.3. i also tried quality 1 or quality 0.1 - the files are always the same size. what's wrong?

see this screenshot for an example:
http://rrs.at/external/megui/oggerror.jpg

sorry to bug you with this but could someone take a look into it? the audio files are way too large and there's no way to change the size. i looked at the job xml files, they contain the correct quality tags (0.3 or 0.6 or 1.0, whatever i try). still, the output file is always same sized.

thanks...

ps: here are the job xml files:

Hi,

I can also verify that opening AVS scripts in the latest version of MeGUI (1025) is broken. I get the error message is the same as above user (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=922671#post922671), and I get it both when I try to open the AVS file, or when I tried to create one. Just to help out, I installed the Helix YUV codecs:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Helix_YUV_Codecs.htm

I can create the script manually or on another computer running windows XP, then open the script in Media Player Classic and with VirtualDubSynth without issue. I get the error message once, I can click OK, then I get the error message again. Once I click OK again, the message goes away. I am able to add the job and run the encoding process.

The encoded file is perfect and has no issues whatsoever. It's an issue for me, but since I have access to another OS which I can create the synth file then transfer to my main machine for encoding with full horsepower, it's an annoyance. It is most certainly a big issue for someone without 2 machines.

I am running Vista RTM Ultimate. I run MeGUI with full administrative support.

I run AVISynth 2.56a (non-alpha).

I downgraded to 1020 and it also had the same issue. If you have other versions you would like me to test, please PM or IM me.

Thanks again for this great application and your support. Let me know if you want me to do anything.

I also have the latest FFDShow on there (12/30/06). http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm.

It is a fresh install as of last night. I performed the following steps:

1) Install Vista
2) Install FFDShow
3) Install AVISynth 2.56a
4) Install MeGUI 1020 from Sourceforge and update everything to the latest version
5) Install DVD Decrypter
6) Decrypt DVD
7) Run the D2V app in MeGUI
8) Open the D2V file (get error)
9) Install the YV12 codec to make sure it's not an issue with that.
10) Create AVISynth script on my other computer
11) Open AVISynth script on Vista machine (get error)
12) Queue the job
13) Begin the encode

I have tried this with multiple movies, all the same issue. I have tried both DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink (with no compression) and the issue remains.

I don't think it matters what my hardware is, but here goes:
Asus P5B-Deluxe Motherboard (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=307&model=1295&modelmenu=1)
Intel Core Duo e6400 (Dual Core 2.13Ghz)
2GB Corsair 6400 memory
Raid 0 (2) 400GB Hard Drives
Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX
Onboard Sound (Soundmax) and Network (Marvell Yukon 88E8003)

OS
Vista Ultimate 32bit

Drivers:
Video Nvidia 7.15.9752 (Latest Beta as release drivers cause graphics corruption in games)
Everything else is RTM Vista supplied

PM or IM me if you have any questions.

MeGUI is abnormally finished when I use AutoEncode with
'Add Aditional content' checked.

The error occured at AdaptiveMuxWindow.cs, Line 47:
audioCodecList.Add((AudioEncoderType)knownAudioTypes[counter].codec);

cannot cast MeGUI.AudioCodec to MeGUI.AudioEncoderType.

More detail. How to reproduce this bug.
At Input Tab
1. Select Avisynth Script (includes video and audio) at Video encoding.
2. Select Avisynth Scirpt (same above) at Audio Input.
3. Press 'AutoEncode' button.
4. Automatic Encoding window appears.
5. Set selecting to 'No Target size'.
6. Set checked 'Add aditional content...' checkbox.
7. Press 'Queue' button.
8. Error dialog, showing stack trace, appears.

This avs loading thing seems to be inherent to vista and windows 2000. Maybe a .net bug in vista.

I can't seem to open d2v files in the AVSynth script creator. I get a two different errors:

Crop: YUV images can only be cropped by even numbers (left side).
Crop: Destination height is 0 or less

*Sometimes* the preview window will open up and it's just green. I have the YUV codecs installed, so I don't know what else I'm missing.
