Ok bEnGaLi tHuG ..will try that.. funny that you call yourself bEnGaLi tHuG ...kemon achen dada

[hannah]

Hi bEnGaLi tHuG,
Just tried normal seesaw script as shown below:

^ how many versions of RemoveGrain & Repair dll's do u have? u shud remove all except the ones for your CPU.

[hannah]

Well my cpu is SSE3 enabled hence I am using these versions of Repair and Removegrain. Without these .dlls seesaw.avs will not work. There is only one each as you can see.

Hello

I use meGUI to :

1. extract audio from AVI files + encode it to audio.mp4
2. mux my video.mp4 with my audio.mp4 files.

I do my video.mp4 files with x264 on the command-line.
I'd much rather do everything in cmdline, but I havent figured out which tool/s (and command options) do the above two tasks.
I imagine for the muxing it's mp4box, but with which switches ?
as for the audio ?

Any info is welcome
thanks

yes i can see that but how many of these variations do u have in the plugins folder?

[foxyshadis]

The command lines are all kept in the logs.

Ok..as you had advised, I looked at the plugins folder. There were no removegrain / repair variations of .dll. What I also had done is to remove all the .dll from my plugins folder except DirectShowSource.dll.

Rerun the avisynth script through megui and it had crashed again. Uploaded the crash infos here:

Now the script has setmemorymax(512) and still crashing. please note that I got 512MB Ram only in my laptop.


Thanks again.

@hannah: Try RemoveGrainSSE2&Co instead of the SSE3 versions, at least over here the SSE3 version cause my scripts to crash. ;)

Ok now have encoded quite a few clips. This is the result.
I am talking about megui and seesaw.avs script by Didee. Selur is right. One cannot use RemoveGrainSSE3. It crashes megui. I have replaced now with RemoveGrainSSE2 and RepairSSE2. The seesaw script is running fine now.

I tried seesaw_faster.avs. It crashes megui as well.

My workable config is megui + seesaw.avs with RemoveGrainSSE2 and RepairSSE2.

Thanks everyone.

[~bT~]

^ i don't know why but the SeeSawFaster also crashes for me :(

Are you encoding with Xvid?

The xvid_encraw that comes with megui 1041 comes with will automatically encode at 25fps unless otherwise instructed, which MeGui does NOT do.

Change your xvid_encraw to the squid_80 version (see my previous post on this thread).

I ran into this problem last night with an xvid encode. I switched to the latest squid_80 build I could find (from this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=948622#post948622)) and am currently re-encoding. I did notice there was not a single option in the xvid config to set the framerate so if the build of xvid_encraw currently being supplied with megui isn't going to be fixed to auto-framerate from (in my case) an avisynth input, then the option certainly needs to be added.

[~bT~]

IIRC, MeGUI used to tell you if it has forced film in the log file.

I just created a D2V and it didnt state this info in the log.

This has been happening since update 0.2.5.1005.

How can one remove a Worker?

How can one remove a Worker?
(refers to the new Workers-Feature)

From either the "Worker>Shutdown worker" menu on the worker window, or by right clicking the worker in the worker summary and choosing "Shutdown worker"

You can manually add the "-framerate 23.976" (or whatever fps) in the "Custom Commandline Options" textbox in the configuration. However, just stick with squid_80's build, since that one checks the fps of the input file.

[GoodzMastaJ]

I tried to do an encode using LMP rather than XviD (using a profile that worked prior to the last update) and the new mencoder complained that I hadn't specified audio encoding (which it shouldn't for the video pass). Reverting to the previous version of mencoder returned the working behaviour again.

@handtruck
I don't always deal with 23.976fps material and I'd rather not be bothered to manually edit the command line every time so I'll stick with the squid_80 build you suggested. (unless there's a compelling change between that version and this latest one but it seems to work fine for me)

[Selur]

@mitsubishi: Thx :)

[jtarrio]

I've found several times that, after encoding a video with Auto Encode option in MeGUI, it ends up muxing the audio tracks twice. I end up having to remove the duplicate copies using MP4Box...

Anyone found this behavior before?

[kurt]

"run command after encoding ..." doesn't work anymore. Or has it something to do with the new workers_thing?

I'm using MeGUI 0.2.6.1001

edit: shutdown is also ignored

[EroKaos]

I just updated MeGUI and the Add Pre-Rendering Job doesn't work. I get an error: Looking for job processor for job...
No processor found!
Skipping job job1-1.
when trying to run the jobs. MeGUI was working fine just before I updated it. Running regular jobs are no problem though. I tried looking around but could not find a similar problem posted to mine.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: One last thing, just to confirm, does it even matter if my video res aren't mod16 divisible? I'm pretty picky so I would like the video to cropped at the right place.

I have the same problem of EroKaos reported above. Can anybody help us?

[EroKaos]

I updated to version 2.6 and tried using the workers but still got the same error from my previous post.
Looking for job processor for job...
No processor found!
Skipping job job1-1.

What I do is load the avs, tick the check box for pre-rendering and queue the jobs. Assing them to a worker and start them but I always end up with the error metioned above. Is there something i'm doing wrong or something I'm not doing?

And if it helps, I tried to do the huffy pass using command lines and it worked, at least I think it did. I'm not sure if this is the right command line for a huffy pass

hi

Can you take a look into my Post ?

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127681

Am i the only one with those Status Window /Time Problmes
strange....

[Selur]

@dancho: just resize the window. MEGui seems to remember last size. ;)

[dancho]

@Selur
resizing or full window it doesnt matter,
the problem is still here...

[check]

The problem is due to you using a windows theme that forces larger than normal text boxes. Unless the GUI code is completely rewritten there is no way around this apart from using a normal sized theme.

[mitsubishi]

Dancho, that looks like .net's fault, what version are you using?

ACrowley, you mean the no FPS info? That was fixed for me in the next release, are you using version 0.2.6.1001?

EroKaos, that command line is a x264 one-pass crf one, the line meGUI uses to create the pre-rendered lossless file (when it was working :p) is

"c:\Program Files\megui\tools\mencoder\mencoder.exe" "path_to_input.avs" -o "path_to_output_hfyu.avi" -of avi -forceidx -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=ffvhuff:vstrict=-2:pred=2:context=1

Although if you can cope with the file being about 55% bigger, it is significantly faster (both creating and using), to load the avs in VirtualDub and use ffdshows huffy, particularly with a dual-core.

As to the problem with "run command after", yeah it affects "on completion load files" with d2v creation also. No-one's added it to the bugtracker yet though :rolleyes: will do myself later.

[EroKaos]

Heh thanks for the command line. I'm not good with them.
Any ideas about the "No Processor found!" error during a re-rendering job?

[ACrowley]

@mitsubishi

No...my Thread is edited.

FPS Works fine again with latest Version 0.2.6.1001

Now i have the Problem that the Time (elapsed/remainig) in the Status window is wrong/buggy
It starts counting new after 24h, and the remaing Time isnt correct and always jumping. Some Times its 7h left, but should be 20h etc.
Both Funtions was working perfect in older Versions

Maybe youve Time to read the Thread

I have that problem too with I tried to run a regular pass. But my time was resetting when it reached around 3-4hrs, it would go back to zero and increased again.

Help Button!
Help Button links to project 357. Project 357 has basic Guide to ripping A DVD, with Decrypter. Because this Guide ,now MeGUI is in many countries of Europe illegaly. That gives sooner or later trouble for the European forums.

[Selur]

btw. would be nice if the 'worker' and 'tools' menus could be swaped
(would save me a lot of work rewriting the current MeGui Essentials)

Because this Guide ,now MeGUI is in many countries of Europe illegalyMan have you been drinking the industry's cool aid. This is BS plain and simple. You still see heise link to my site and forum so that should tell you all you need to know. Instead of spreading fear, how about you let your elected representatives know that you don't agree with the laws they're passing to screw you over, and ask that your friends do the same?

[Henrikx]

@Doom9
Man have you been drinking the industry's cool aid. No.
Guidances to ribs are forbidden in Germany.
Why that is a problem to store the Guide outside of the Wiki.
Everything would be ok.
Ask Gleitz or somenbody, everything in connection with DVD Decrypter is forbidden !

Hi, I havn't used Megui in a while so yesterday I started it up and downloaded all the latest updates but now whenever I open the AviSynth Script Creator i'm getting the following error message.

"Error in computing resolution
Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Anyone got any ideas on how to stop this?

[gonwk]

Hi folks,:)

If you don't know "AviSynth Editor" ... I guess then you can NOT use "MeGUI".

Q: Am I right on this assumption? Or is ther a way around this? Can we just load up the file some other way?

Thanks,
G!:confused:

I need help installing megui in Vista 64 bit
everytime i try this message pops up u guys got any thing i can do.

on another note what other Gui can i use for h264 thats like top of the line and will us all 4 core of my dual 2 x AMD 2222se

This is a updated scenario i did everything the megui guide told me to the exact letter. I run a vista 64 bit on a 4 core dual CPU Motherboard. Basically a Supermicro H8Da3-2 with 2 x AMD Opteron 2222SE which are 3.0Ghz for each of the 4 cores. Nothing else i can say about my situition i aslo got a dvd burner with nerro on it. Tell me what does that error number mean your my last HOPE in learning how to encode h.264/MP4 as a HOBBY. I want to rip Anime Fansubs and 1.3 Gig NFL/sports Games on HDTV. No HDTV tuner card yet waiting on next check
Regards,
Spilt_milk

[check]

@spilt milk: My guess is that the issue lies simply with the 64bitnes of your OS. Are you using the latest .NET patches? It sounds like an error in either the CLR compiler or the CLR interpreter, but I'd have no idea further.

@Henrikx: sorry, I will not be moving any content off mewiki to comply with german legislation. It would be an inconvenience to far too many other people. Removing the help buttons would be bad for the same reason.

If you don't know "AviSynth Editor" ... I guess then you can NOT use "MeGUI".

If you could rephrase this better I might be able to answer :)

[sillKotscha]

@Doom9
No.
Guidances to ribs are forbidden in Germany.

hmmm... since when are (spare-) ribs forbidden in germany :P

but you surely mean DVD rips ... and just tell me... why should a whole program be illegal if it is only guiding to an external source of information about a "how to"... via the help button... MeGUI isn't even designed for ripping...

and on top... you are the first telling me, that MeGUI is illegal in germany because of the external ripping guide...

[gonwk]

Hi Check,:)

Thanks for your Relpy ... please disregard my earlier Q for now ... I might have jumped the gun ...

I will post again if things unclear to me.

[saint-francis]

I have been using MeGUI with x264 and the insane profile and I just for the first time tried crf. I went with crf 18 and actually got a much smaller file than I would have shot for when going by bitrate. The encoding took less than 2 hours! It took less than 1 minute for 1%! I am used to encoding a movie taking 10 to 14 hours. I understand that crf uses one pass and it would only be logical that it might take 1/2 of the time or maybe a little more but 1/6 of the time? :confused: I noticed that the crf profile uses 3 reference frames where hq insane uses 16. Is this the culprit behind the increased speed? Or do the extra reference frames not make as much of an impact with crf so they have been set to 3?
