we dont fix bugs for other softwares.
the problem of bad public atom error is in mp4box.
if you found a workaround using raw avc then use manual encoding.

this is not about x264 encoder messing up (sometimes) public atoms...is about megui changing the queue...

what is the reason for autochanging this?

you continue to not understand.
if craptime is not standard compliant, it's not our problem.
we also wont fix what's already correct to comply with a non compliant software...
if you wanna that fixed, ask apple devs to fix quicktime once and for all.

D2V Creator problem: When "select audio tracks" is used, the audio track is not always demuxed. But using "demux all tracks" will always work if the "select audio tracks" doesn't.

I believe the AVC Levels Checker is bugged, it complains when using 4 ref frames with a 1920x1080 resolution which it shouldn't. It also complains when using 3 ref frames in combination with b-pyramid.

AFAIK this behavior was correct in earlier revisions of x264 but not any more.

tph, it depends on the level not on the resolution.

There's a minor problem when using Automatic Encoding.

The "Size and Bitrate" calculations for the choices that you don't select are off. For instance, I normally use the profile setting (mine's set at 2000) and a file I encoded last night came out to 365 mb using this setting. I was reencoding it to 340 mb, when I noticed that the file size setting and average bitrate setting don't correspond correctly.

When I set the "filesize" option to 340 mb, the "average bitrate" option showed 2040 bkit and a videosize of 339.7 mb. The file was outputted correctly at ~340 mb, but using the bitrate calculator, the actual bitrate was probably 1848.

If I use the "average bitrate" option and put in 1848, the video size is 307.6 mb and "filesize" shows 307 mb. Add in the audio, and it'll be 340 mb, but "filesize" should have shown 340.

Oh, forgot to mention I used level 4.1

Hi:

I made a post a couple of weeks ago where I showed that in One Click Encoder the audio track selected was extracted but then post processor could not find it, except when it was the first one.

I think that both issues could be related;)

Right now I always use the option to extract all audio tracks and remux manually the one I like.

Hope this helps!!

Avira AntiVir has been telling me that 'megui-uninstall.exe' contains a virus as of late. Pretty sure it's a false positive, but is there any way there could be anything even remotely malicious in there? And has anyone else gotten this problem?

I guess I should have asked this a LONG time ago, I just never paid much attention until asking a fellow friend and comparing the FPS's used.

When I encode using x264 codec for let's just say a music video (720x400), with my new pc I only hit roughly 7fps, whereas my friend says he hits 60fps... And I think both our systems are roughly the same...
I havea E8400 3.0Ghz (not overclocked) and he uses AMD 440 X2

The meGUI settings that we tried for comparison is as follows:
program --crf 21.0 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --deblock -2:-1 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --partitions all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 17500 --me umh --merange 32 --threads auto --thread-input --aq-strength 0.5 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"

Avisynth script:
MPEG2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\####\Desktop\asdf\tester\testing.d2v")
#Tomsmocomp(-1,1,1)
tfm(pp=5,cthresh=3,mode=0).tdecimate()
Crop(4,0,-2,-0,align=true)
Spline36Resize(720,400)
Removegrain(2)
UnFilter(-5,-5)
gradfun2db()

So I was wondering if anyone might know anything about this... As he told me he had to apply an AMD dual core optimizer, and I googled for the Intel versiona nd found it but using XP SP3 {same with friend} and says it's too new, so I did the manual patch by tweaking the registry / boot.ini
---
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Throttle]
"PerfEnablePackageIdle"="1"

(Optional - read notes first) Now look at your boot.ini to make sure that the command /usepmtimer is there, by right clicking on My Computer go to Properties, click on the ADVANCE tab, then under Startup and Recovery click on Settings, then click on EDIT....make sure your boot.ini has the /usepmtimer in there (located in the last line), if NOT [make a backup of the Boot.ini first] then just copy and paste /usepmtimer in there. (NOT the entire boot.ini example)
---

Not too sure if there is anything else I need to mention.

60fps with that system, settings that high, and a script that complex?

Not buying it.

SacredCultivator

3rd February 2009, 02:12

^Talking to him atm, but apart from him, on my behalf, does that sound right or...

---
EDIT:
Okay nvm, he lied to me lol, he didn't bother using the settings I did, so nvm, 6fps sounds right.

Cause the Preset I used is sorta a mixed between Insane and HQ, as I'm not too sure what settings to really use to get great quality. Which stops me from using 2-pass as I don't know what size to set things, which is why i use 1Pass Constant Quality, as I'm not too sure what settings I can 'change' to increase encoding time without losing much quality.

strange thing about that, is that when i run a vob through d2v creator, it 'sees' that there is an audio track there. it just doesnt do anything about it. demux all does the trick though

choosing select all tracks works 'select audio' alone doesnt.

did you try the sample you have posted ? it comes from dvdshrink or not ?

i did, same thing. i rip with shrink since it splits each episode into 1 VOB file, makes it nice and easy to throw into megui. that sample is from dvdshrink yes.

odd that it works for you though

Did a search only in wiki & this thread but cannot find the answer.

Is there any way that I can disable subtitle loading automatically in MeGUI?
I have set it in DirectVobsub to "Do Not Load" already.
In MPC + K-lite codec pack, it doesn't load but it does in MeGUI (version 0.3.1.1012) , in the avisynth preview mode.
It will also load when encoding but I don't want them hardsubbed into the videos.

Hi I cannot MCTemporalDenoise to work in Megui. This is the script I used, pretty basic just to see how good it is.

# Set DAR in encoder to 137 : 98. The following line is for automatic signalling

global MeGUI_dary = 98

It loads in Virtualdub but will not play in zoomplayer or Media player classic. So its an error with the script in some way. I have triple checked dependencies so it must something small I can't find.

Fixed the script error but now I am having a NICMPG123source on my audio file when converting to aac. I have found that it appears to be a Nicaudio.dll issue. In this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141594&highlight=megui+nicaudio I have downloaded the dll. I haven't had this error before with mpeg 2 audio. Where for Megui should I install this dll.

The problem in the linked thread isn't related with you, was a mp3 in a wav container. The problem was solved and you have a standard mp2. Or not?

I can convert mp2 to m4a using MeGUI (with NicMPG123Source like decoder and NeroAacEnc) without problems. The NicAudio.dll in the MeGUI autoupdate is the last version.

Maybe is a problem with your mp2, is only 6.5 MB, can you upload the file to make some test?

Is it just me, or is the One Click Encoder not working in 3.1..1012?

It processes audio fine, runs the video processing without error, but creates a file with no extension.
Log for job7 (video, TestVideo.avs -> TestVideo_Video)
then fails on the mux
[Error] Log for job8 (mux, TestVideo_Video -> TestVideo.mp4)
[NoImage] Job commandline: "C:\Program Files\megui\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -add "V:\TestVideo_Video:fps=25" -add "V:\TestVideo Tc1 L2 2ch 48 256 DELAY 0ms_audio.m4a#trackID=1:sbr" -tmp V:\ -new "V:\TestVideo.mp4"
[Error] Error line: Error importing V:\TestVideo_Video:fps=25: Bad Parameter

If I manually create the video file and mux it, it works, although the video file created is a different size to the _Video file created during the One Click Encoder, despite them both using the same encoder settings and Avisynth script.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with MeGUI. I just recently reinstalled my PC I went from x64 to 32 bit vista home premium because x64 was giving me too many problems encoding blu-rays (video would come out choppy). I'm pretty confident it was a codec problem, but I'm not 100% sure either. Either way, I now have a completely different problem on my HTPC.

When using megui when I attempt to do the AVISynth script creator megui goes up to 90-99% processing power and stops responding. I have the Blu-Ray ripped to my HD via ANYDVD-HD with all encryption removed.

This was a clean install this past weekend. Computer specs are below if they are any help

Here are the following codecs/encoding programs I have installed on my computer so far.

CoreAVC Pro
Haali Media Splitter
FFDShow
ANYDVD HD
Megui
AC3 filter
framework 3.5
XVID 1.2.1

Everything is updated to the latest version including windows updates as of a couple of days ago.

I was trying to stay away from codec packs, but whatever works at this point I'll take it :)

All video's that I currently have on my computer play just fine, my problem is creating backups now with my blu-ray and DVD collection.

I have tried reinstalling megui with no difference in the results. I also tried reinstalling it and not updating it to see if that would help, it did not.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any help you guys may give.

Index it with DGIndex (MPEG-2 video) or DGAVCIndex (H.264 video) first and then load the resulting D2V or DGA file in the AVS Script Creator.

Hi KurtNoise,

What format are your input video & subs in?

For many formats, you can just remove the subs & place them in a separate folder from the source video
Thanks for replying.

I knew that too. I asked because I have MeGUI installed in 2 computers. One of it load sub automatically while another not. I want to know what settings I have screwed up.

Edit: uninstalled directvobsub from codec pack, may be it's the easiest solution

For some time now I have not been able to select files in the AVS creator which need directshowsource to load. MeGUI used to just hang and I'd eventually kill it, but now it just crashes on it's won without me needing shut it down. This happens 100% of the time. I have experienced the issue on 4 windows operating systems and 4 different computer. If there is something wrong with my system I would like to get to the bottom of it but I highly suspect it's a MeGUI issue.

But I highly suspect it's a User issue..
I just verified with a couple of different files with any extension, Megui is working rock stable in avisynth directshow modus.
Make sure all your directshow decoders, filters, splitters are uptodate and working.
At least ffdshow and Haali splitter should do the trick.
And for wmv, plain ol moneysoft decoder and splitter.
Tested on mov, hdmov, mkv, wmv, mp4,etc...
