Okay not too sure why when I extracted the audio from a video it came out to be the size of the Video... But when I encoded it using FAAC to .mp4, it works.. but when using LAME MP3 and trying to encode it, I get the following error.

Whenever i try to convert an avi-file i made in vegas using the lagarith lossless codec to a .mp4 or .mkv using MeGUI i end up with a file with the .264 extension and windows won't recognize it and it can't be played. Please help a newb out! :stupid:

you have to index the .ts file with one of the DGxxxIndex tools or use DirectShowSource() filter to load the file.

I checked out the program paths and apparently I'm missing dgvc1index and dgmpgindex, but i have dgavcindex. Do I need the ones I'm missing? I've never used DirectShowSource() before, is there is a guide or something I can look at? :stupid:

Edit: Is it faster to use the DGxxxIndex tools or the DSS()?

Edit2: I used the dgavcindex to create a .dga and loaded into the AviSynth Script creator. When I get to the filters and DGx source tabs, there's a button under deinterlacing, Analyze. When I hit it, I get an error message:

Error opening analysis script Script error: there is no function named "TFM"
Check to make sure you have TIVTC.dll in your AviSynth plugins directory.

So I navigated to my AviSynth directory and couldn't find tivtc.dll, so I updated my AviSynth plugins to 2.5.8, but even after the update, i couldn't find tivtc.dll. Could someone help me here?

I am looking for dgmpgindex.exe as well to get the matroska indexer to work. I can't find it on Donald's website though.

Where can I get it?

don't use AutoEncode Mode if you want to encode only video streams...

I'm not using Autoencode, i'm using One-Click, still i end up with a .264 no matter what i do? And the file does include audio.

I followed this guide:

http://www.eve-films.com/forum/halo-videos/28083-guide-encoding-your-video-h-264-using-sony-vegas-megui.html

Some other guy had the exakt same problem.

what ? the One-Click mode doesn't support AVI files as input...

My bad, i got them mixed up, i was using Auto Encode.

So what should i use of not Auto or One-Click, just enqueue it or what? :stupid:

Load your AVI file in the AVS Script Creator.
Save the script.
Choose a Bitrate in the Bitrate Calculator (from tools menu).
Click on Apply.
Select an x264 preset and press enqueue button.
go to Queue Tab and hit start button.

That's it...

I'll give that a try, thanks!

I got an mp4 now, however, the audio from my avi-file is not include, I changed to audio=true in the avi-script, but no audio?

Info from my avi-file, maybe it'll help.

Video: LAGS 1440x1080 29.97fps 162149Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: PCM 48000Hz stereo 1536Kbps [Audio 1]

I mean dgvc1index and dgmpgindex don't exist actually...only dgvc1indexNV & dgmpgindexNV.

and for your TIVTC.dll issue, grab it from autoupdate.

keep audio=true on your script, load it in audio tab and select a preset.

I force re-installed the tivtc.dll, but avisynth still gave me the same issue. So i then extracted the tivtc.dll from the .zip in the update_cache folder, then manually put it in the avisynth plugins folder and it worked. :) Thanks for your help.

Still not getting any audio :(

First it encodes the video and then it wants to overwrite the newly created mp4 (video) with a mp4 (audio).

I'm lost.

These settings right?

The audio and video output filenames need to be different otherwise the 2nd will overwrite the first. MeGUI doesn't check for this. Simply change the filename of either one and it should work.

It'll still create one file with both audio and video and not two separate files if i do that?

http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=meguiqueue1.jpg

Why are there two AVC in the queue, can i just delete the first one, cause it runs twice, and the first one doesn't seem to be doing anything?

I got two files :/

The only way you will get 1 file is if you didn't re-encode your audio, but since you did, you get 2 .mp4's: each a piece of your entire file. Now, you want to go Tools -> Muxer -> MP4 Muxer. Load the video.mp4 and the audio.mp4. If you have subtitles or chapters you want muxed into the final product, load those in now as well. Select where you want the output to go, queue the mux and you should have a final product momentarily.

Megui is reporting my CPU as a "Intel Pentium III Xeon Processor". I actually have a Intel Core 2 Quad. How do I get Megui to recognize my CPU?

Furthermore, I am getting an error when trying to encode

--[Error] An error occurred: avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
--[Error] An error occurred: x264 [error]: could not open input file 'H:\Gta4 Test 2.avs'

I am using the following AVISynth script:

a = AviSource("H:\GTAIV 2009-05-07 22-55-47-06.avi")
b = AviSource("H:\GTAIV 2009-05-07 22-57-39-57.avi")
c = AviSource("H:\GTAIV 2009-05-07 22-59-50-29.avi")
d = AviSource("H:\GTAIV 2009-05-07 23-01-48-76.avi")
e = AviSource("H:\GTAIV 2009-05-07 23-03-59-87.avi")

I have this problem for three days (MeGUI 0.3.1.1032).
I try to uninstall/reinstall 0.3.1.1033 : same problem !
I disable the AV (NOD 32 version 3), the firewall, I even try with the connexion of a friend : always the same error.
Any idea, Kurtnoise ?

@pihug12 - you can try configuring the servers to use the development instead of stable in the settings. I've always used those and never had any problems

@jinf: about the CPU, it's not a real problem. those are only debugging info. every encoder has its own CPU/Instruction sets detection routines.
about the encoding error, play your .avs in a directshow media player (WMP, MPC, etc) and look at the error.

@pihug12: do you use a proxy to access the internet?

Doesn't work too.

@pihug12: do you use a proxy to access the internet?
I don't use a proxy. "Auto Update HTTP Proxy" is disable in Extra config of MeGUI.

Is it possible that MeGUI cannot read the XML file because of the update to IE8 ?

Newer mkvtoolnix (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/mkvtoolnix-unicode-2.7.0-build20090416-121-setup.exe) that fixes split files.

Also eac3to 3.16 is out.

TSMuxer 1.8.4 is fairly old and many bugs fixed since but probably doesn't matter yet as its not being used.

No problem. Is there any chance of getting rid of the useless backup files?

I have a feeling deleting these lines in megui\megui\tags\0_3_x_x\core\gui\UpdateWindow.cs would solve it but I don't really know C# but it looks pretty obvious

private ErrorState manageBackups(string savePath, string name)
{
try
{
if (File.Exists(savePath + ".backup"))
File.Delete(savePath + ".backup");
}
catch
{
AddTextToLog("Error: Outdated backup version of " + name + " could not be deleted. Check if it is in use.");
return ErrorState.CouldNotRemoveBackup;
}
try
{
if (File.Exists(savePath))
File.Move(savePath, (savePath + ".backup"));
}
catch
{
AddTextToLog("Error: Old version of " + name + " could not be backed up correctly. Restart MeGUI and try again.");
return ErrorState.CouldNotRenameExistingFile;
}
return ErrorState.Successful;
}

Also is the update cache of any use after update?
If not could everything in that directory be deleted on close?

Hi,

maybe you have an idea what is going on with my MeGui encoding.
I had to reinstall MeGui on my machine (Vista Ultimate x64) and since then the videos I encode do not play in QuickTime or iTunes anymore. They still have sound, but just black picture. I found a difference between the new files and my old encodings with MediaInfo.
The old files under "General" had "Format Profile: Base Media" and "Codec ID: isom". The new ones "Format profile: Apple AAC audio with iTunes info" and "Codec ID: M4A". The rest is the same. I tried to mux the files again with MeGui and with Yamb but got the same result.
Does anyone have a clue what I am doing different now, than back then?

Thanks a million.
Dive

/edit:

ha! found it. Had an old version of mp4box installed. Updated with MeGui and the files are "Base Media" again :)

useful when you need to reinstall packages (i.e download them again not needed in this case).

thanks Sharktooth but I 'm not found
play back your avs script in any directshow player (mpc, zoomplayer, etc...) and check the error message.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is here?
an issue from the package downloaded...so, relaunch the updater or change the link of the server autoupdate.

I've got a problem here.
I open my avs script successfully on AvsP 2.0.2, which should be the latest version. Then I open the script on meGUI 0.3.1.1034, updated, and can't encode the audio from an avi to mp4 (aac, nero). The log shows this:
