MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[darkKlor]

Overnite attempt used "XviD >30% comp. check (HQ)" but for today's attempt I bumped it up to 45%.

Overnite used AutoEncode with File Size set at "1 CD (700MB)" but today I altered that to "Average Bitrate 901kbit/s", the previous setting had produced a file with a 619kbit/s video stream according to GSpot.

I stuffed up today's AutoEncode in the sense that the default container is MP4 and i didn't notice that, so its not an AVI output, but that should be largely inconsequential.

Audio Encoder overnight was "LAME MP3: MP3-112ABR" but today I changed it to 128ABR.

Inputs are constant with a set of VOB files and the AC3 file produced in the earlier stages. The Avisynth script should also be constant.

Overnite the muxed AVI was 485MB, today the muxed MP4 was 604MB, well below the expected size increase from increasing the bitrate (I can't check the produced bitrate because GSpot doesnt like the MP4 file).

AviSynth script:
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\user\Desktop\Licence To Wed\licence.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#deinterlace
crop( 0, 74, 0, -74)

LanczosResize(640,256) # Lanczos (Sharp)
#denoise


The log file includes both attempts, the part for today I'll put in a second post because of the size restrictions.

-[Information] AutoEncode job generation log

[Sharktooth]

you're using the wrong presets.
that % value is a compression test result... if you didnt run a compression test you should not use those presets. more info: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119399
ensure you let megui auto-update. there are some new presets without a % value in the name. use those ones.

[darkKlor]

ah, thankyou very much. that guide from afterdawn tried to tell me they were something to do with the percentage of the original file that the resultant file would be.

um i have megui fully patched, but there's no %-less profiles titled XviD, they're all x264. either way i think somebody should put the profiles guide on the megui wiki so people understand wat they're there for without having to ask around

[Sharktooth]

go to Options -> Update and right click on TXviD package then select "Force (re)install".
when the presets import window appears, right click and select "Check all" then click import.

[darkKlor]

yep, that works. cheers

[PlazzTT]

One small thing I noticed: the pop-up tip for Trellis in the x264 configuration doesn't seem to relate to what's in the drop-down box. (It says Recommended value: On Macro Block, but it's not clear if this means option 0, 1 or 2.)

[CHerron]

I'm not sure if theres problem has been reported before but since upgrading to megui v3 audio encoding has become abit weird :s

I've noticed with megui v3 that the audio length is over or under estimated either making the files run longer than the video or cutting the audio off before the video has ended.

Im finding this problem on any audio codec type, nero aac, mp3, ac3 etc etc

For example on an avi that runs for: 49:25
Megui thinks the audio length is: 47:11

It has me most confused :s

Any advice?

[ZZZERO]

I started a job using a temporary worker and although the job says "done" I can't clear it or delete it from my queue. If I try to clear my Queue or delete that job I get this:

MeGUI has encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: The given key was not present in the dictionary. Source of exception: mscorlib stacktrace: at
System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException() at System.Collection.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(Tkey key)

and it goes on for a while like that. I can't start any other jobs or get rid of this one.

I do alot of encoding from AVI files for friends who are on slow / capped internet and need there shows in the smallest size possible.

The dropdown is 0 -None, 1 - Final MB and 2 - Always ... So, what do you think Final MB means?

try restarting megui and clear the queue.

[CHerron]

I'm guessing you mean copyright material?

If so sorry and post edited accordingly

[ZZZERO]

Didn't work. Still gave same error. I found the jobs directory and just deleted the files there. That seems to have fixed it.

[ZZZERO]

Is there a way to see the log file for the current session without closing MEGUI? I have job in progress that won't finish for several hours but I want to look at the log now to see why I got a muxing error on an earlier job.

[HateBreeder23]

Hello guys...

I really like megui and its the main program i use for encoding, but when i'm trying to mux greek subtitles and an avi afile using avi muxer the result is that the subtiles show like symbols....i know that this is a problem of avimux gui but i wonder if you have a solution for me.

Thank you very much!

[@MeGui]

How to change manualy settings for let say "HQ" presets?
Should i go with changing XML file?

Tnx...

p.s. H.264 and MeGui rocks mate...:)

[nurbs]

By clicking the button next to the profile. :p

[@MeGui]

lol :)

[ZZZERO]

Re: my earlier posting about a muxing error. I looked at the log and discovered the problem. The muxer cannot handle a directory with a "#" character in its name. That character does not pose a problem for the d2v creator or the avs script creator so I was able to get to the muxing step without an error. Here is the error from the log. Perhaps something can be done to fix this?

Report the bug to the mp4box (http://gpac.sourceforge.net/) guys.

[Deinorius]

I've got a bug.

Since the last time I used MeGUI (last week) status window doesn't show any information of the current encoding process. After job is done MeGUI doesn't show fps either.
I just updated MeGUI. I also tried to downgrade to 2015 but it didn't help.

[Sharktooth]

reinstall from scratch.

Why ?

I asked the same question, and got this answer;

oh, sorry... the reply was not directed to you :)

When updating from 0.3.0.2017 I receive this error when updating. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2901255651_2c4948483f_o.jpg

[Sharktooth]

... OS version and architecture?

[flebber]

Windows XP SP3. x86 Intel P4 Nvidia Geforce 6200

I tried uninstalling megui and reinstalling 2015 and updating from there. At 36/37 of the new updates megui failed with the same error.

Confirm.
Using 0.3.0.2018, Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP3, C2D T7200, ATI X1400

It occurs only when trying to update STAudio to V10.

[ZZZERO]

I'm getting same upgrade error as flebber. It's the staudio update causing it. I could update the rest by by unchecking it. Vista Sp1 here.

[fields_g]

I'm getting same upgrade error as flebber. It's the nicaudio and staudio updates that are causing it. I could update core by unchecking those. Vista Sp1 here.

I originally had 4 updates. Unchecked STAudio and the other 3 installed fine. did you try to install nicaudio by unchecking STAudio?

[ZZZERO]

I got nicaudio updated on its own. earlier post edited to remove mention of nicaudio problem.

[Caroliano]

I have the following message displayed to me 2 times every time I start Megui. It is been like that for an long time, and only now I'm reporting.

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4249/meguiwarningwx9.png

Also, I encoded an movie that ended up very strange. The last part was repeated 3 times, with some ghosting. The problem must be between megui and x264 output.

The avisynth script was:
DirectShowSource("VTS_01_1.VOB",fps=29.97000002997,audio=false)
TDecimate(cycleR=1)

I was using DirectShowSource for the .VOB, as the DGDecode is giving the following error: "Mpeg2source: Could not open one of the input files" in AVSp and Megui. I'm using the .d2v created by Megui. The directshowsource on the other hand shows fine on AVSp AND Megui, but the encoded result was very strange.

[Deinorius]

oh, sorry... the reply was not directed to you :)
actually it was for ZZZERO I thought it was directed to me. :eek:

Thanks G_M_C, it worked.

[rack04]

I get a critical error when updating to the latest files on the developmental server.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/rack04/untitled-1.jpg

[XhmikosR]

When updating MeGUI with the latest Audio profiles I'm getting the following error and then MeGUI crashes.
It happens with the latest updates (today).

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5559/3092008181851ik4.th.png (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3092008181851ik4.png)http://img90.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)

But I did update everything except Audio profiles so this must be causing the error. Also when I try to double click on the Audio_v10.zip I'm getting an error too:

C:\Program Files\megui\update_cache\Audio_v10.zip: Unexpected end of archive

[Kurtnoise]

looks like Sharktooth has made Audio_v10 package with a zipper not supported by the classes used...

[bluebebe]

error on x64 workstation after try to update the staudio:

http://bluebebe.homelinux.com/megui_error_upd_staudio.jpg

[Kurtnoise]

guys...no need to report the same bug many times.

I gave you the why. Now, wait an update from Sharktooth. I can't myself upload packages on the server.

[Buggle]

Some more information considering the Audio profiles problem:

The zip is flagged corrupt, but still has valid contents. Repairing the archive (with for instance WinRAR) gives you all profiles, which can then be copied to the allprofiles folder of MeGui. Don't do this while running MeGui, because it will delete the copied profiles at shutdown.
When you start MeGui, it will still tell you there are updates (the audio profiles), but when you check audio dropdown, all profiles are there and can be used.

This way you are still able to use the profiles.

[Sharktooth]

weird coz i created the zip with megui export presets function...
also it works here. ill reupload it...

EDIT: there is definatly a problem in the export preset function... even more weird since it used to work...

@kurtnoise: did you change anything in the presets exporting code?

[rica]

Hi another one from me.
I installed 0.3.0-215 on a clean Vista 32 Ultimate.
Update continued until video presets import stage.(couldn't reach audio presets stage)
This is what i got:

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/7400/fatalaf7.th.png (http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fatalaf7.png)http://img219.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)

BTW, i have admin rights and UAC is off. (Normally one of them must be enough.)
So i don't think it is just related with audio presets.

[rica]

I've just given it a go on my second disc (Vista Ultimate 32)
I've met no any issues.
The difference was the new disc which doesn't work was fully updated. (On working disc i haven't made any update for a week)
Dunno it is related with the issue?

Edit:Working disk has just admin rights btw.

[Nightshiver]

I'm at a complete loss for my problem. Ok, I was encoding a file with a pre-rendering job in front of it (meaning that MeGUI was in the middle of creating the lossless avi file) and for no reason at all, but at the same place, MeGUI gives me this error: http://i34.tinypic.com/2ptymbo.png

It always stops at the same frame number:31670
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing MeGUI and that hasn't fixed it. Is it a problem with MeGUI or the Huffy codec/FFdshow? It's never done this before and I'm quite annoyed at it.
And here's a pic of my log window: http://i37.tinypic.com/2qx58bt.png

[Caroliano]

which OS do you use ? with a Service Pack or not ?
Windows XP - Service Pack 2

An problem that may be related is that I can't install any new program for an while. The windows installer gives an error. But this don't affect the initialization of my other programs.

EDIT: The .d2v problem that I had was probably because of an ³ in the .vob path. It should warn in these situations, or, better yet, suport unicode characters. I will test again now, to see if the other strange problem repeats.

EDIT2: The .d2v created by megui says that the source is progressive, and the one that I created manualy by dgindex says that the source is interlaced. They differ in the following point:

Field_Operation=0
Frame_Rate=29970 (30000/1001)

vs

Field_Operation=1
Frame_Rate=23976 (24000/1001)
Both .d2v works correctly, and the megui's one is the best, so no bug here... only curiosity.

[Kurtnoise]

@all : please, test me (http://www.mediafire.com/?eldyzthmimm)...and report back.



@Caroliano & Nightshiver : this build doesn't fix your troubles yet but you can try...

[XhmikosR]

Thank you, Kurtnoise! Now everything's working as usually.
No more crashes when updating the Audio Profiles.:)

I'm a fresh user of DGAVCIndexNV, the nvidia cuda enable version of DGAVCindex. I used it with x264 CLI and virtualdubmod without a problem but meGui crashes when i add the job to the queue. Since we are numerous to have the same problem, is there someone involved in meGui dev that can tell us what is the really problem. Is this a meGui bug or a DGAVCIndexNV bug.
Thanks in advance.
