MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[XpresSo]

Hi :)

I tried your test with an other video.
x264.exe --no-cabac --output NULL <input.avs>

And this time the result is

avis [info]: 848x480 @ 23.98 fps (35 939 frames)
x264 [error]: no ratecontrol method specified
x264 [error]: x264_encoder_open failed


As the first time, megui doesn't succeed in encoding the last 25 frames...

I really don't understand.
Thanks for your help :)

Hello.

I think "QP" (confer the log) gives an idea about the final quality... True ?!? http://users.skynet.be/bk314761/smileys/082.gif
If it's the case, can you give me a value who indicates a (very ?) good quality ?
I don't believe in my eyes. :p

Sorry for my english. :p
:)
QP means Quantizer Parameter. The lower the QP the higher the quality (and bitrate).
If you have some experience with MPEG4-ASP (xvid or divx), QP 18 in h.264 is about the same as XVID QP 2 (or Q 2, if you prefer).

You havent specified any ratecontrol method nor quantizer parameter.
Also, in relation to your previous post, you need to specify the resolution for a raw yuv source.

Before that i can use it to convert few avi to mp4 movies for my friends without any problem. And few days after, today i want to use this encoder to convert to mp4 it doesnt work and gave me the error message. I'm using Vista. Does anyone can help me?

[kevintth]

I also read the previous message, try to get older version (0.2.6.1001) and uninstall the current version (0.2.5.1007)... but the same error it gave me,... i guess probably i have to run clean uninstallation of the 0.2.5.1007 version... but how do i do that? Usually i uninstall it from Add/Remove Program. And delete the 'megui' folder under program file. But it doesnt help... Same error occur! Please help...

[kevintth]

All right. I find the solution myself. For those who have the same error / problem load video with Avisynth 2.5.7 using megui on Vista OS... please download "DirectShowSource.dll" version 2.5.6.0. it should work without problem.

[ditche]

QP means Quantizer Parameter. The lower the QP the higher the quality (and bitrate).
If you have some experience with MPEG4-ASP (xvid or divx), QP 18 in h.264 is about the same as XVID QP 2 (or Q 2, if you prefer).
OK thanks, so CRF = QP ?
I don't see where this option in meGUI like in AutoMKV... The only solution I know to encode a movie with the desired CRF, is to do a compressibility test, read the log and increase or decrease the bitrate up to the desired CRF... arf. :eek:
Is there more simple ?? :confused:
I read the forum but... :confused:


And, in the meGUI log, wich line(s) and which job(s) are important ?

[Sharktooth]

CRF is called "Constant Quality".
The I/P/B lines indicate the average QP for I/P/B frames.
Jobs usually are the encoder passes. 1st job is probably the 1st pass... and so on.

i riped 3cd xvid with xvid>58% comp and got over size about 400mb and i can't play the file with MC, how can i fix this problem, should i change some setting in megui confiq and how? thanks...

[Sharktooth]

did you specify the bitrate in the profile or using bitrate calculator?

[Vesi]

i used the bitrate calculator and got 1103 kbps the output i got 2.40gb

quantizer restriction prevent the ratecontrol to obtain the desired bitrate.
you chosen the wrong profile coz: you didnt run a correct compression test or your compression test result was not > 58%....

i did chose the 58% and after bitrate calculator did the job i hit on apply. i didn't touch anything. as i'm new to megui so don't know how to fix this problem and if i get the same problems in future what to do. So i need your guide. thanks in advance

[Sharktooth]

you have to run a comp test first.
look at comp test result an select the profile accordingly.

[Vesi]

sorry to ask this ?, how i would do that? i have never done any test and should i do it for all movie or cut any part from the orijnal source and which profile and how to select the bitrate?

[Sharktooth]

at this point i suggest you to read some guides and to use the forum search function.
there is also a megui wiki with loads of info.

[mdjaved]

Hi every1! I have a small issue with meGUI. I ripped the DVD correctly using DVDDecryptor (ver 3.5.4.0). I had 3 files; the IFO file, one single VOB file (i didnt want any splitting) and a TXT file (which contains the stream information). All was good until this point. When I tried to create a D2V file, the following error popped up 'error parsing info file'. I initially thought it was DVDDecryptor that had the error. But then i used DGIndex and everything was good there. So the problem has to be with meGUI. Also when i tried to use the vobsubber, when i selected the ifo file, smae issue. My meGUI build is 0.2.6.1001. I've attached a pic to show the same. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[Sharktooth]

update to the latest version (0.2.6.1004) and report back

[mdjaved]

ummm ... where should i get that version from ? sourceforge.net has 0.2.5.1007 and x264.nl has 0.2.6.1001. Is there any other link that i'm missing ?

[saint-francis]

[mdjaved]

updated megui to 0.2.6.1005 ... the problem still persists ie the msg still pops up ... dont know what to do

[Kurtnoise]

Could you copy & paste your VTS_01 - Stream Information.txt please ?

btw, the problem occured recently. The first few times i tried, it seemed ok but after that no matter wat dvd i rip to my hdd, that msg window pops up.

[Kurtnoise]

ok...the problem comes from your last subtitles streams (0x2A..0x2C). It seems that MeGUI doesn't support this for the moment. I'll fix that asap.

Just remove these lines (if you don't have to use them) and that should be ok...

[mdjaved]

hi kurt! thanx 4 the speedy reply and yes it works perfectly now :)

[mdjaved]

this is a simple error i noticed in megui ... if any of the developers can modify it,

The main page for meGUI is http://mewiki.project357.com/index.php/Main_Page but when you select Guide (Ctrl+G) from Help menu, it tries to go to http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/Main_Page and IE shows

Like I said, itz not a biggie but it would be better if its modified. thanx

[check]

not a megui issue actually, it's just the web site exploded :(. A temporary fix will be to change /wiki/ to /index.php/, but there are other problems with the site too (like logging in failing and images broken) that are going to probably require a total reinstall of the wiki software to fix :(

I'm Really unlucky, Megui doesnt work once again...
I'm using the latest stable release with latest updates, and trying to encode a film.
d2v, AVS and audio encoding steps ar done, but here's the log for the automated 2 pass xvid encoding :

What's wrong?

Thanks a lot for helping

[Kurtnoise]

seems like an issue with the command line creation. Could you try this :
1) load your avs file
2) select a profile
3) hit enqueue
4) start process.




About wrong wiki link : now It's fixed. let me know when you'll change the link.

[karasu]

But I d'ont want to use a default x264 profile, but use my xvid settings (it's a black/withe movie with mono audio) What can I do?

Thanks

[Kurtnoise]

well...save your xvid settings in your own profile and use it instead of the x264 one.

[karasu]

That's what I've already done, with the error log I've posted.

Mais apparement je peux te parler en Français (ça sera plus simple pour moi) j'ai enregistré mon profil après avoir reglé mes option xvid, j'enqueue, je start, et rien ne se passe de plus que ce log.

[Kurtnoise]

mmh can't reproduce the bug myself here (though I use the last svn build).

could you upload your xml file profile somewhere ?

[Sharktooth]

i think the cause is -closed_gop and -grey
cant find those switches in xvid_encraw usage

[ACrowley]

latest core build still has the Time Caculation bugs right ?!
No BugFix.

Elapsed Time still resets to zero after 24h and and Remaining Time still "jumps around"

[Sharktooth]

yup, still not fixed. it's not a showstopper

-closed_gop is okay but unnecessary since it's on by default. -grey looks like it got lost somewhere along the way, probably got taken out when zones were fully implemented.

Okay, is there something else to use in the place of -grey if I want a greyscale encoding?

[squid_80]

-zones 0,w,1,G would do the trick.

Is anyone else having a problem with the auto shutdown? It hasn't worked for me in awhile.

There's no SAR, but DAR (or whatever you want to call the width:height for the whole picture, instead of the pixels) is available when you open the video preview window in the main form. If you've set this not to open automatically, you can open it manually by double-clicking on the input file. Additionally, you can add DAR signals directly to your Avisynth script with two specially-named globals: MeGUI_darx and MeGUI_dary. For example, you might have:
Berrinam, you are saying that when I input DAR manually in the window that pops-up when I load an avs file, that DAR should be passed to the encoder, right? Well, I did several encodes here but I couldn't get it to work. Even though I input the DAR correctly and the "Show DAR" option does show my video with the correct aspect, the final video is still "stretched". I am leaving the "Show DAR" box checked, though I don't think that is the problem. Am I doing something wrong?

One more thing. When I press "Auto Encode" and check "Add aditional content (audio, subs, chapters)" in the window that appears, I can't get MeGUI do mux the audio track I choose with the encoded video. I did several tests, muxed chapters and subs and they are all added alright, just not the audio track. MeGUI does calculate the new video bitrate, though, but I have to manually mux the audio later.

All this is on MeGUI 0.2.5.1007. I would really appreciate any help in case I am doing something wrong. Thank you very much. ;)

known bug...

the DAR thing works here. did you close the preview window?

I just fixed that in the last revision but it needs to be tested because the current code to find the track IDs is not good imo...We should use MediaInfo library at least to find the right ids but this is an other story.

Thank you Kurt.

Oops, no. I was leaving the window opened. That was quick, thank you Sharktooth.

OMG thanks for the new resizable windows ♥ ♥ ♥ <3

Ok, thanks. So the "greyscale" check box in xvid encoder option need to be updated.

I am fairly new to MeGui. I successfully encode some material but just before the mux stage the following message appeared:

Your AviSynth clip is is the wrong colorspace, 1610612740.

It then asked me if I wanted to correct this and after selecting yet it took care of the problem. But during my next encoding project it appeared again.

What setting do I need to make in FFDShow Video decoder configuration menu?

[Sharktooth]

you have nothing to add to ffdshow. add ConvertToYV12() to your avisynth script.
