meGUI Encoding Problem

[J Dude]

So I was about to encode a x264 MKV with MP3 audio in meGUI, but everytime I start encoding, I get this pop up message and the program closes.

I don't think corrupt memory is something that would be easy to fix, even though I don't have much knowledge about that kind of stuff. -_-

I fixed that problem, but now I ran into another problem. When I was done encoding, it seems meGUI just automatically deleted my MKV. Why did it do this? :confused:

could be due to improper jobs

try using the autoencode button , i found it saver

I tried using the AutoEncode button, but all it does is just bring up a window asking for output options and I don't see anything that actually let's me start encoding. I see a button that says "queue" though I have no idea what that means. So I had just hit that, went back to to Queue tab inbetween the Input and Log tabs and clicked to Start encoding, but the same thing happened again. Once it was done encoding, it just deleted the MKV file... :mad: I checked the log and it's saying this at the end of it.

That's odd... totally remove megui and reinstall it without changing any options. try your encode again and see if it deletes it.

Tools - Settings - Delete Intermediate Files - UNCHECK

jeffy is right: that setting will not nuke your 1st pass data and the final, unmuxed data, but is the file it's deleting the muxed data or the 2nd pass video-only data?

Thanks. This fixed it, but now.... I'm having yet another problem. -_- Basically with the video I'm using, I made an Avisynth script that adds a 3 second video clip to the beginning, which is just some sort of splash, with the names of everyone in an anime fansub group I'm working with. Since I had to add this to the beginning of the episode, I had to take the audio from the episode of anime I'm trying to encode, which I had ripped as a WAV file and opened it in Adobe Premiere, and bumped it up across the audio timeline to three seconds so that the audio would be in sync and it was until after I had encoded my MKV. Now the audio from the episode is back to playing as soon as the splash clip comes up, which is 3 seconds long, and thus now the audio and video are all out of sync. Why did it do this? Is there some way to fix this? I didn't see any settings for it, but maybe I'm just overlooking something. Though I'm thinking about trying out AAC audio instead of MP3, though I'm amazed I got a nice looking x264 MKV file and it's only 128 MBs for the entire video being 25 minutes long. Could it be because the 3 second clip at the beginning I made has no audio and meGUI just automatically bumped it back down? That must be it...

Post your script, one of us will correct it. You'll have to encode audio from the script, not the demuxed file, this time.

You're talking about my Avisynth script right? Here it is.

mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\JoeSplash.d2v")+mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\Joe01.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
Crop(6, 0, -10, -0)
LanczosResize(640, 480)
deen("a3d",4,7,9)
temporalcleaner()
Tweak(cont=1.0,sat=1.0,bright=15, hue=0)

I had no idea you could use Avisynth for audio files as well.

Actually, you probably only need to set a delay (3000ms=3s) on the track in mkvmerge, you can set delays without re-encoding. In the GUI it should be in the second tab once you click on the audio track. mkvmerge may have read the correction value and "corrected" it backward, or the original mp3 encoder may have just ignored it completely and thrown it off. I misread your original problem and thought you were doing more extensive editing, in which case coupling the audio and video (via WavSource() or NicAudio & AudioDub()) is vital.
