MeGUI Crashes Upon Video Load

[kalorx]

Hi all. Everytime I try to open a video via an AVS file (which I have no choice but to do), MeGUI crashes on me. It says I need an "AviSythWrapper.dll" file.

I've done some research, and as far as I can tell, others have had this problem as well. The only solution, apparently, is to get that file and stick it in the root directory of MeGUI. Problem is, I can't find the file. Anywhere.

Am I just missing some really obvious download place that for some reason never shows up on search engines?

Just so you know, the AVI I'm trying to load is an 848x352, 23.976, RGB uncompressed with no audio, and I've tried adding ConvertToYV12() to see if it made any difference (I have a vague memory of that doing something to fix a problem some time back). It didn't make a difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

it's in the default download package on sourceforge....you should also be able to get it using the updater.

the update server is dead at the moment - you'll have to wait until it comes alive again before you can use meGUI.

The server is still down :(

You can manually download the required files from here still: http://mewiki.project357.com/auto/?title=auto
I think this event shows a god reason why we should run some mirrors for this. The best way to do this would be to download a serverlist as part of the updates, which gives mirrors for the next update. This would also give the ability to manually add mirrors.

Thanks! The provided DLL worked. It's strange that you say it comes in the SourceForge download of MeGUI. I downloaded MeGUI just yesterday using the link provided in the x264 development thread. It linked to SourceForge and everything.

since the server is still down, i dled the cli from sharkthoots thread and copied into the x264 dir in megui. but when opening megui then, the info still says v578-1. did I do something wrong in that case and the version is really still 578-1, or is just some info in some file missing thats usually written there each time i update the x264 via megui and when using the encoder it would actually be the latest version I copied manually there ?

BTW, while I'm here, does anyone know where I can get a good guide for the x264 options in MeGUI? None of the guides in the development thread are up to date or have GUIs that look anything like the one in MeGUI; names of options are different and all that. Or maybe some context sensitive help XML?

@Thunderbolt: there is no version checking, it just stores the latest version it downloaded in a text file and uses that :)

@kalorx: read the wiki! http://mewiki.project357.com/Video_configuration_dialog
