MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[tebasuna51]

Nope, FLAC is not supported.
Of course don't support WAV files is a bug in BeSplit (abandoned, without public source code, then never can be solved)

The benefit of use BeSplit method is don't recode compressed streams like:
AC3/AAC/MPA/MP3/MP2/MP1/DTS

If your source is AC3/DTS extract the stream without decode and use BeSplit.
If your source is lossless you can create an avs file like that:

########################################
# [Source: WavSource], use RaWavSource if file is > 4GB
########################################
WavSource("x:\your_path\your.wav")

########################################
# Create fictive 23.975985652770184 fps video for triming
########################################
AudioDubEx(BlankClip(length=Int(23.975985652770184*AudioLengthF(last)/Audiorate(last)), width=32, height=32, pixel_type="RGB24", fps=23.975985652770184), last)

trim(2133,31349) + trim(33508,33744)
and use BeHappy to output WAV or FLAC

EDIT: I don't know for what MeGUI don't offer lossless output (WAV or/and FLAC)

[Soliloquy]

Wow. I had no idea audio could be such a hell. So I got BeHappy (source was LPCM). Well... wavsource couldn't load my .wav. Fun! I mean... wav... if you can't even load that, then something is bad.

Luckily for me some other guy had this problem (http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/avisynth-s-wavsource-won-t-load-wave-pcm-files-t357581.html), so I did the same registryhaxxing as he did and I CAN LOAD WAV. FINALLY.
And then behappy worked flawlessly making me happy.

Thanks! xD

[daberti]

I've just bought this standalone and I'm trying to encode from DVD->XVID. 1500kbps is the only mod allowed. I keep original AC3 audio.
I use the Home Theater Fast profile, yet when I play the movie, it stops when nearly at the end or so.
Any idea would be hotly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

[akombakom27]

daberti, I have noticed the same thing. I think it's because MeGUI do the muxing with AviMuxgUI. I resolved the problem with virtualdub. Open your movie with virtualdub. Set the Full Processing Mode at the Video tab, and hit the Save as segmented avi at the File tab. Virtualdub remuxing helped me.

[Nightshiver]

Well, I'm also having the "long encode" time problem. Encodes used to take much less, but now on the second pass, they are taking 26+ hours. This shouldn't be happening.

Huge thanks :)
Do you mean the muxed avi (audio included) or just the encoded video?

[Zathor]

Well, I'm also having the "long encode" time problem. Encodes used to take much less, but now on the second pass, they are taking 26+ hours. This shouldn't be happening.

Do you have changed the x264 profiles between the old and new encodings? Very likely the settings have changed.

[Nightshiver]

No, the settings haven't changed, I'm not that novice of a user.

[Zathor]

And what has changed beside the source file and the encoding time?

Try executing the command line outside of MeGUI. If the problem persists swtch back to the x264 build used for your fast encodes.

[akombakom27]

daberti: Yes, the muxed avi, including the audio. I don't know why this helps, but after remuxing with virtualdub, the size will increase with less than 1 meg. Anyway, this helped me, hope will work for you too.

Zathor: I have the same problems with the encoding time. Also I have saved the "old" MeGUI's whole folder. But if I starting that "old" MeGUI I'm getting error message at the first pass. On the other hand I tried to change the new preset's setting to the same as the old presets, but still no luck. If a downgrade can help, please tell me how to do it.

[Zathor]

I have the same problems with the encoding time. Also I have saved the "old" MeGUI's whole folder. Which build number (MeGUI / x264) has the old version?

But if I starting that "old" MeGUI I'm getting error message at the first pass. Which error? Please post the log.

On the other hand I tried to change the new preset's setting to the same as the old presets, but still no luck. If possible please post the command lines used for both encodings (old/new) for x264.

[daberti]

daberti: Yes, the muxed avi, including the audio. I don't know why this helps, but after remuxing with virtualdub, the size will increase with less than 1 meg. Anyway, this helped me, hope will work for you too.


Thanks :)
I guess I'll go the AutoGK way and keep using MeGui for x264, as I suspect I should also setup video compression under VirtualDub.....

[icon]

I hope someone can help me out with this audio sync issue I am having. I'm using the latest megui with all programs updated. Using a DVD source which mediainfo claims is 29.970, megui/avisynth/x264 gives me a video that mediainfo claims is 23.976. I assume this difference in framerate is what is making the auio out of sync. It is out of sync by seconds not ms. This is hard to test since I am not encoding the audio. Anyhow, here is the avisync script. Hope someone can help. BTW - handbrake didn't seem to have any problems with the video and kept everything in sync.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")

Do not respond to the post.

Why would you assume that it is a downloaded movie. Ironically enough it's MY MOVIE, that I purchased.

Regardless - I think I am narrowing down the problem to DGindexing the audio of the vobs before it should. I don't understand why it does this, since playing the vobs are insync and as I mentioned before Handbrake encodes them fine.

I wish I knew that there was going to be a sync problem before I waste 4 hours encoding. Any easy way of finding how much the a/v are out of sync now with out re-indexing/re-enocding the whole thing again (without the begining of the movie where the silence is suppose to be).

Edit - I see, because my script directly has 'downloads' in it. I use that for all my temp files regardless if they are downloaded from the net, copied from another PC or ripped from my DVD drive. As I mentioned before, its my movie. I will clear up the script so there is no ambiguity.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here but in the future please do not raise spurious red flags like that.

@all

Feel free to respond to icon's issue.

Now, about your problem...

Your script specifies IVTC, so 23.976 is correct. That will NOT affect audio sync.

Possibly the issue is that the stream has a starting blank section. If that is the case, you need to skip over that when setting the project range in DGIndex. Step in using the > button until real video appears. Then hit [ and save project. I do not know enough about MEGUI to know how you would do that using MEGUI.

[icon]

Thanks Neuron2 for clearing me. Also, nice program. As I later found out by experimenting, it was DGIndex and the begining black causing the problem. I guess I don't need to know why it does that, but does it do that often or anyway to prevent it or know if it's going to happen? As you probably tell by my directory structure, I am using DVD Fab and normally just rip the main movie.

[Guest]

I guess I don't need to know why it does that, but does it do that often or anyway to prevent it or know if it's going to happen? It happens because DGIndex determines the audio delay based on the difference in the audio and video timestamps at the start of the project, the assumption being that it is constant throughout. But for these sources the timestamps are reset to zero after the black spell at the beginning, and so the calculated delay is wrong. You can tell by dumping the timestamps and looking at them but that takes more savvy than many casual users possess. So my advice is to develop the habit of always skipping over leading black video. It has no useful information so nothing is lost.

[Rashik]

Hello everybody

Megui isn't reading mkv container. It says
"Avisynth script error:
DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me"

What is wrong?

[Archer]

Hi everyone. I have a problem. I have Win 7 x64, avisynth 2.5.8 and CCCP installed, but my megui crashes without any errors, it simply stops working and the system is "searching for a solution". I've tried many things, but I failed to get megui working. I will be really grateful for any kind of help.

[Soliloquy]

Why does MEGUI -> AVS Script creator's video preview say that my movie clip has one frame less than if i open the same video clip through the main MEGUI window?

[nurbs]

Maybe one of them starts counting frames at 0, the other starts at 1.

[Soliloquy]

That's... confusing. >_>

[Zathor]

Why does MEGUI -> AVS Script creator's video preview say that my movie clip has one frame less than if i open the same video clip through the main MEGUI window?
Please post more details how to reproduce this.

Maybe one of them starts counting frames at 0, the other starts at 1.No, both count the same way.

[Soliloquy]

Then why do they differ by one frame?

[Chumbo]

I searched the thread for an answer but didn't find one. Basically the encoder is blowing up after it's done which, on multiple passes, never gets to the nth pass. I ran the command line and this is what I got (which explained the error in the log):
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2307/win7crash.png (http://img210.imageshack.us/i/win7crash.png/)

I tried setting the executables to run as Administrator and to Win XP Sp3 compatibility mode without success. I also ran the command line as administrator with no success. Any ideas? Thank you.

I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit

[Soliloquy]

Nevermind, the differing frame count was
DirectShowSource("x", fps=23.976, audio=false, convertfps=true)
vs
DirectShowSource("x")

Still, was kinda funny when script creator said 3021 frames, main window 3022 frames and the encoder process reported 3023 frames.

[LigH]

@ Rashik:

To read the content of an MKV movie, MeGUI has two options:

a) It may rely on DirectShow filters installed in your Windows system. If you installed any. Especially a "Splitter" filter which is able to extract the video and audio (etc.) content from inside the MKV container. Without such filters, basic Media Player applications (like the MS Windows Media Player) - relying on the DirectShow system - won't know how to read MKV files; and MeGUI neither. One possible filter is the "Haali Media Splitter" (MatroskaSplitter). Advantage: You don't need to know much about it. Disadvantage: You may not know which decoder is used, and if it has high quality, accuracy, reliability (e.g. some DirectShow decoders are able to skip frames, which would ruin a 2-pass conversion).

b) You extract the content manually, prepare it if required (e.g. build an index file for contained AVC video) and open that in MeGUI. Advantage: AviSynth plugins with high quality and reliability can be used for loading the content. Disadvantage: You need to learn how to do it.

[fabiospark]

I'm doing some tests to see what are the best settings to convert my family DV videos to x264 with Megui.

For now I just want to deinterlace the source but I've been asked to convert to YV12 so this is my .avs:

AVISource("P:\DV aggregati\Good for testing 2.avi", audio=false)
ConvertToYV12()
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Programmi\megui\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=0)

When the video encoding process ends and the .mp4 file is created I'm getting an x264 crash report: is it something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

By the way: where should I look to learn how to best convert my DVs (not HDVs) to mp4?
I tried Google but it's not easy to know in advance which link will not waste your time).

Thanks again.

[akombakom27]

Zathor: I'm such a noob, so I don't know how to get all that info you required. But I did the next thing instead. Here is a link, I zipped the old megui to the "old" folder and some screens in the "new" folder. I did everything the same way as on the pictures with the "old" megui, just with the x264_dp_ DXVA-HD-Insane profile and I changed the default settings to Automated 2pass, everything else was untouched.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N5C00V2C

And yet another thing. This happens with all versions of MeGUI. When I try to rip 1080p or 720p mkv source to an SD XviD (resizing to 720x304 or 720x400) with "XviD: 2pass HQ (no Qpel)" and I set the bitrate to 2000 in the Birate Calculator the bitrate I choose is OK just for the first 5 or 6 encodings. After that the bitrate changes randomly from 1300 to 3600 depending on movie. A reinstallation of MeGUI didn't solve this problem, just the reinstallation of the whole PC.

I'm using Win7 Ultimate.

Am I the only one who has this problem? Would appreciate any help please. I've searched and searched and have not found any solutions here or on the web.

[Zathor]

Please post the log.

Try running the commandline you found there regarding vfw4x264 manually in a cmd window - any error output / same problem? Try renaming avs4x264.exe and x264.exe to vfw4x264 (copy & rename so that the original files are still available).

[akombakom27]

Zathor: Sorry, I don't know how to run vfw4x264 manually in a cmd window. And I don't know what to rename. In the "new" properly updated MeGUI there already are the next files:

avs4x264.exe
vfw4x264.exe
x264.exe
x264_64.exe

Here is the "old" MeGUI's log, here I'm getting error all the time:

[Ruriko]

I can't open up any video files it gives a error saying there is no function named directshowsource. I have the latest avisynth installed and I checked if directshowsource.dll is in the plugin folder which it is. How can I fix this problem?

[LigH]

@ fabiospark:

- Yadif is not the most intelligent deinterlacer. Only a very fast one. Some people don't recommend it if quality is an important matter.
- DV usually has "Bottom Field First" order, so "order=0" is probably correct.
- ConvertToYV12() without using the parameter "interlaced=true" for interlaced material may produce false colors each second pair of lines - except AVISource() returned YV12 already (then it does nothing).
- Try to request YV12 already in AVISource via pixel_type (depends on the VfW codec if supported, and possibly on your video norm: PAL DV is already close to YV12, NTSC DV is not - IIRC).

Your crash can have many reasons. Like e.g. the stability of your codec handling aborted video streams. Because one pass ran to the end, it is probably not your script's fault.
__

@ Ruriko:

What is your exact operating system? (There might be quirks making the 16/32 bit AviSynth run on 64 bit systems...)

And is your plugin directory registered correctly in the Registry?

And does it work when you explicitly use LoadPlugin() with DirectShowSource.dll?

[Ruriko]

My server is 64bit but I installed in the 86x programs folder. It doesn't work when I try to use LoadPlugin() it says unable to open. It seems to work if the dll file is located outside of program files. Is there a way to set the path to directshowsource in megui? Where is it registered in the registry?

[Vincent Vega]

this has been discussed in this forum many times, but what's the current rule with latest build of megui + x264 interlaced encoding from interlaced (tff) source. by simply checking "Encode Interlaced" i end up with dvavcindex reporting frame struct mbaff for my encode. i tried adding --tff to custom command line but still same mbaff encode as result.

btw i also tried feeding the same video deinterlaced to x264 in megui (tivtc according to megui analyze function), resultant supposedly progressive video also showed up as mbaff in dgavcindex.

[Vincent Vega]

hello..
anybody here?

[nurbs]

So you wanted to encode an interlaced stream, told x264 to encode interlaced and dgavcindex tells you the result is interlaced. Then you took a progressive stream, told x264 to encode it as interlaced and dgavcindex again tells you the result is encoded interlaced. What's the problem?

[Vincent Vega]

1) i took interlaced source (frame struct: fields/tff) fed it to x264 in megui as interlaced (only avcsource() in the script), checked interlaced encoding in x264 config. resulting encode is frame struct MBAFF. why source was fields/tff and result is MBAFF? these are not the same stream types, right?

2) the progressive encoding problem was my mistake, i just rechecked, sorry

[nurbs]

In the H.264 standard there are 2 different methods for encoding interlaced content. One of them, the only one x264 supports, is MBAFF (macroblock-adaptive frame-field). If a stream was encoded with the MBAFF method dgavcindex will display that it was encoded with MBAFF, because each macroblock in the frame can be encoded either in frame or in field mode. Since generally you can have a mix of both there is no point in displaying Frame, Fields (TFF) or Fields (BFF) as the frame structure since each frame can be a mix of those.
In practice x264s MBAFF isn't really adaptive, all blocks are encoded in field mode, but since dgavcindex is supposed to display the properties of H.264 streams in general and not x264 encoded ones in particular it wouldn't make sense to display anything else.

[Vincent Vega]

many thanks nurbs

I am not sure this is the proper place to ask this. I thought of creating a new thread, but decided to give this a shot first. Will we be seeing iPad profiles? I have been tinkering with the iPhone profiles, but I am just a novice, and many of the settings are best left to people who know more then I do. I know the AVC Level can be changed to 3.1, and the number of reference frames can change quiet a bit based on resolution (7 I think for 1024x*). But that's about all I tinkered with. This is the official info, but I know it goes much deeper then these simple specs. I am looking to stick to 1024x* for the best quality vs size. (screen size is 1024x768)

iPad Supported Video/Movie Formats

* H.264 video (up to 720p, 30 frames per second; main profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats)
* MPEG-4 video (up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, simple profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats).

iPad Supported Music & Audio Formats

# AAC (16 to 320 Kbps)
# protected AAC (from iTunes Store)
# MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR
# Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4)
# Apple Lossless
# AIFF
# WAV.

maybe Taurus..

i'm also on AthlonXP, but using only one worker always


Edit: my other machine at work is E4500+P35, no probs there, that's where i did all the latest encodes with the same megui version.

Please use this aften build:
http://megui.org/auto/aften_r832.zip

I cannot switch it on the update server because I am not at home these days and do not have the password for the ftp account with me. I should be able to switch it in the next days.

[Vincent Vega]

thank you Zathor, it worked.

so is there any hope for a revised latest aften build that will be also usable on old amd computers?
