MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

Hi all, I have an issue with a movie and I hope someone can help me out. Please bear with me. Although I am not a video encoding noob I am not an expert either.

I have this DVD movie that I want to play in my portable device. Tech specs here (http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/cowon/a2/tech_specs.html). It is a 4:3 30fps movie.

I loaded it into meGUI and converted it to XviD using the following options:

profile: Unrestricted 2-pass Balanced
size: 640x480 resize to mod 16 autocrop
AVIsynth: minimal noise and spline36 filters

It encodes ok but when I try to play it in the portable player it stutters all the time. I don't have this problem with other movies I encoded with meGUI. I noticed that after encoding I get a 23.970fps video framerate instead of the original 30fps. Could that be the cause? If so how do I solve this problem?

Don't worry about audio or subtitles because I have these under control. My problem is the video stuttering.

Thanks in advance for the help.

that's why you chosen the wrong preset. if you look more carefully you will find there is a "2-pass Balanced (HomeTheatre)" preset. Use that instead.

Hello,

I'm trying to encode an AVI but strange things seem to be happening when I am in AVIsynth script creator. From within AVIsynth script creator I select the source file and the video preview window opens up - this looks fine. The number of frames for the AVI looks about what I would expect at 60 000 area. After I save the AVIsynth script, the video preview window refreshes but now the number of frames is significantly less, only showing about 2 000 frames. This isn't just an issue with the video preview window because when I run the queued jobs, it really is only doing the 2 000 frames.

I've never experienced this problem before. Somehow the majority of the frames are dropping off. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

My thanks,
MK

Hi sharktooth,

I don't know what to say here. It's plain jane. The only option I checked was 'clever anamorphic' and then save! After saving, the video preview window shows the reduced number of frames. It's actually no different than anything I have done for over a hundred re-encodes so no idea whats up here....

[Sharktooth]

save the .avs and play it back on a directshow media player.
if it's still shorter than the source, then there is some problems in either the source or the decoder used by avisynth.
in both cases, not posting your .avs script, will not help to identify the problem.

[MidKnight_1]

I didn't know you could play avs files in the media player - I learn something new!

Yes, it is still shorter. It only appears to show the first 1 minute and 40 seconds. What I don't understand is that the source plays just fine, it's just this odd behaviour.

Here is the avs script....nothing special at all.
# Set DAR in encoder to 16 : 9. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 16
global MeGUI_dary = 9
AVISource("C:\My Documents\Trading\DAX\DAX_20090415.avi", audio=false)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

I'm not sure how to proceed here. Maybe I should just not do this one and keep it as the original AVI. All these logs are taking a lot of space though so would like to shrink them down with MKVs.

[Sharktooth]

ok, it could be the decoder. AVISource uses VFW decoder instead of DirectShow. That means there could be differencies between the playback of the avi file in your player and the playback of the avisynth script.
you can try with DirectShowSource(".......") in place of AVISource and see if it fixes the problem.

[Inspector.Gadget]

I've had a problem lately with neverending encodes when using a DGM file created by DGMPGDecNV and otherwise treated as usual with the AVS Script Creator and other MeGUI tools. This has occurred whether using XviD or x264, and what happens is an encode will hit 99%+ completion and then run indefinitely at some encoding rate while the file never gets bigger and the time remaining never decreases. Please find below links to everything relevant:

That was the problem! Thank you!!! :thanks:

[MidKnight_1]

Uggg...this is the re-encode from hell.

Using the directshowsource() worked great for the video but then the audio was still stopping just after the first 2000 odd frames. I extracted the stream from within VDub mod, pulled it into meGUI as the audio source and re-muxed. Almost there now....The one catch now is that the audio gets progressively out of sync. I have read through the search function of the forum that this is from an incorrect framerate used but I don't understand how to set this right. Is this in the muxing area? Or is this within the avisynth script?

My sincere thanks in advance,
MK

What's the big deal with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC file extension? Is it that hard to rename the file extension? :confused:

no its not...but this is not the point...this is about improving the application by reporting the bugs...

I'm trying to match the encode settings used in a video so that I can append another video to it. Try as I might, I can't seem to figure out some of the settings. I extracted the encode info using avinaptic and Media Info. Can anyone tell me what these are and how do I set them in MeGui?

analyse=0x3 :0x133 (mine's 0x3 :0x2)
fpel_cmp=sad
me-prepass=0
brdo=1
scenecut=65(pre) (I can get 65, but not (pre))
rceq='blurCplx^(1-qComp)'
num ref frames 6 (this doesn't appear to be the "reference frame" option under Quant. Options)

In addition, the encodes I make in these tests have a few setttings that do not appear in that video. How do I make these not appear like in the video I'm trying to match?

psy_rd=1.0:0.0 (this is psy-RD and psy-trellis, right?)
aq=0 (this gets recorded no matter what value I set AQ to)

I would be most grateful for any assistance.

hmm now all my dga files made with dgavcdecnv wont let me use nvidia hardware deinterlacer, keeps coming up with it not compatible error? using latest version 1013

sigh, i just want to make some nice avisynth files to run :)

I have the same problem. Clicking 'enqueue' on audio does nothing, there's no audio job placed in the queue. But if I wait till video encoding job is done, exit MeGui, reopen it, load just the audio file and setup audio encoding, and click on 'enqueue' - than all is fine: the audio job is there and it encodes just fine.

@Kurtnoise: so if clicking on MeGui audio 'enqueue' button does nothing, and you suggest it is not MeGui's fault - where should we report that bug to?

You have to use the last beta package (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=147584) (NVbeta1)...so, you need to reindex your files.

ah thanks :)

[deets]

now megui tells me i have an invalid license! used nvbeta1 and indexed the file ok, just the dga pops up this avisynth error :( if the license wasnt valid, i couldnt have made the index :( sigh

[jmnk]

@simonhowson use mp4box or mp4creator to demux the .mp4 to raw (.264 + .acc)

use mp4box or mp4creator to remux .264 + .aac to a new .mp4

this will solve the problem...

to avoid this problem in the future ALWAYS encode to .264 (NOT .mp4) and in the final step mux to .mp4...

OK - but how do I mux to mp4 --and-- specify SAR (or DAR or final viewable size)? Because if I do not than when encoding from DVD I end up with wrong aspect ratio..

[Sharktooth]

SAR is specified in the encoded stream.

[jmnk]

SAR is specified in the encoded stream.
That very well may be true, but if I use 'Device Type -> iPhone' in muxer settings than the aspect ration info appears to be overwritten/deleted. Whatever happens, when I play the resulting file in MPC or kmplayer or vlc, the aspect ratio is not correct.

I was just curious if there is any DISadvantage if I set b-frames to 16?

I've read that it can decrease the filesize, at a small cost of encoding time, but not too sure if it's worth it, as currently I use 4 b-frames.

If it helps;
Adaptive B-Frames is set at 2-Optimal| B-pyramid/Weighted B-prediction are enabled and B-frame mode is on Auto

Thanks.

[Sharktooth]

setting 16 b-frames with b-adapt 2 is really a stupid thing to do.
it's not a slight cost in encoding time... it's HUGE and all on the first pass (so CRF is affected too) and using more than 4-bframes wont give a huge difference in quality/filesize.

[SacredCultivator]

^Thanks for the reply, I guess I just tested on something small as the difference in time was only 3 minutes (Tried on a Music Video), but since there isn't much point, I guess I'll leave it at 4.

Cant enqueue audio in the latest version of megui....the 0.3.1.1043 one

found & fixed the culprit...

here is a fresh build (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ggjktjzfmyw/MeGUI_20090618-2.zip) for testing.

J just like to confirm, that this bug also existed in MeGUI 0.3.1.1044, (but now hopefully is fixed with Kurtnoises latest update).
I realised this behaviour of MeGUI, (of not adding any new Audiojobs to the queue), immediately after updating from MeGui 0.3.1.1039 to 0.3.1.1044.

The Problem with this bug was or is, that it only appeared sporadically and sometimes seems to be gone after restarting MeGUI, only to reappear after finishing the current encoding queue.


The second thing I noticed in MeGUI 0.3.1.1044 is, that the "Clear"-Button in the "Queue"-Tab no longer seems to recognize finished jobs, now it always asks if it should also delete incomplete jobs even if all jobs in the Queue are done, this behaviour is different from MeGUI 0.3.1.1039.



Thank you for your work!

Greetings T.

that's why you chosen the wrong preset. if you look more carefully you will find there is a "2-pass Balanced (HomeTheatre)" preset. Use that instead.

Thanks for the tip but actually the problem was the audio track. I stripped the audio track and now the movie plays fine. Apparently my player does not like MP3-VBR in avi files. I thought this problem was dealt with ages ago, but apparently not. Thanks for the help.

hi,

im new to MeGUI.
i want to ask about MeGUI Avisynth profile/preset, i cannot save custom Avisynth preset/profile. everytime i close and run megui again the profile/preset is gone? does anyone have same problem or just me?

[St Devious]

Why is MeGUI updating to x264 jeeb's builds instead of official builds ? Also is it the x64 version or x86 ?

[nurbs]

There are no official x264 builds, unless you count the vanilla builds from x264.nl, and IIRC megui never used those, but always patched builds by different people who post them in the AVC forum. They are x86.

I had a quick question that probably isn't worthy of its own thread regarding audio delays.

I am using DVDDecrypter in ifo mode to rip individual episodes of the Freaks and Geeks DVDs and for the main audio track I am getting a delay of -66ms
0x81 - Audio - AC3 / 6ch / 48kHz / DRC / English / LBA: 21 / PTS: 00:00:00.280 / Delay: -66ms

I then use eac3to to extract the stream and then get a delay of -16ms
[a03] A remaining delay of -16ms could not be fixed.

When I encode the video stream with x264 I am getting an initial delay of 2002/24000
mp4 [info]: initial delay 2002 (scale 24000)
Although I'm not really sure what this means, I'm guessing a video delay of 2002/24000 seconds or frames?

I am encoding the audio track to aac using the nero encoder and I was wanting to correct the delay at this stage in the process. Only problem is I'm not sure what the correct delay is.
Is the delay from decrypting + extracting (-66 -16 = -82) -82ms or is the delay from the eac3to output inclusive of the initial delay from decrypting, so just -16ms?

Then I am left wondering what the initial delay from the video is and how this effects my output. So far I have muxed my audio and video (with no delay compensation) and played it back a few times with VLC experimenting with different delays. I can't say that the difference is very noticeable to me when going from 0ms to -100ms but at times I think it does look more in sync with a -50ms delay (placebo effect most likely). I guess such a small delay is probably not going to be noticeable to me but I figure since it *should* be easy to fix I might as well.

My workflow is pretty standard and besides ripping the disc, I am using the tools of the latest megui build (0.3.1.1045) and megui as the gui for all of them. As this is my first time encoding a video with megui I am hopeful that a seasoned veteran will have some good advice for me.

I've had a problem lately with neverending encodes when using a DGM file created by DGMPGDecNV and otherwise treated as usual with the AVS Script Creator and other MeGUI tools. This has occurred whether using XviD or x264, and what happens is an encode will hit 99%+ completion and then run indefinitely at some encoding rate while the file never gets bigger and the time remaining never decreases. Please find below links to everything relevant:

@Inspector.Gadget: What system OS are you using? And did you try running the x264 commandline in DOS as well to verify if the problem was with MeGUI or x264 / DGMPGIndexNV?

I've been getting the exact same problem. I'm using Windows 7 RC1 x64, latest build of MeGUI, NVBeta1 (DGMPGIndexNV). The file i'm transcoding is Interlaced PAL (25fps). It works fine, and transcodes fine with regular DGIndex, but the NV edition exhibits the symptoms you mention.

I'm using latest NVidia drivers available too, not the ones that ship with the RC.

Also tried setting DGMPGIndexNV and CUVIDServer to run as administrator with no effect.

EDIT: I see your using Vista x64 from your logs. that would seem to be the common denominator here. We're both using a 64bit OS. While Win7 is far from finished, it's polished enough that it runs most Vista-capable software without issues or any special "tricks" in most cases. Neuron2 has said in another thread that he doesn't have a 64bit OS and won't install Vista, so if this is a 64bit specific problem, we could have a long wait for a fix unless he plans to give Win7 a run-out.

[Inspector.Gadget]

GibsonXXI, the other common denominator is using the built-in deinterlacer. When I get a chance to run some more tests, I'll round out my post. Thanks for the information about your own efforts - I hope this turns out to be a minor problem.
