Hi!
Whenever I try to encode video files, I always get the error "Standard error stream" (I'm using vista x86 sp1).
Even after converting the videos file type, it fails.
In XP pro x86 sp3 it worked fine for me, before the formatting.
What should I do?

Copy and paste your complete most recent failed job log into a post in this thread.

Do you have Avisynth installed correctly?
Do you have the .NET framework installed?
Have you allowed MeGUI to auto-update?

AVISynth is installed correctly (it showed me preview with MeGUI).
.NetFrakework version 3.5.0 is installed on my system and version 2 is detected by MeGUI.
MeGUI is up-to-date.
Problems:
1)MeGUI doesn't detect my graphic card (in Hardware).
2)MeGUI doesn't release memory used while queuing the job
By the way: MeGUI gets stucked when trying to save a log file.

MeGUI has no reason to use your video card unless you're using it in with conjunction with one of neuron2's DG*NV tools.

Post a screenshot of your log if you can't manage to save it. Try to make the window large enough so all the information is visible. Upload it to imageshack or another hosting site to save the trouble of approving it as an attachment here.

And what is the problem? The job completed. Is there something obviously wrong with the output file?

Standard error explained (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error_stream#Standard_error_.28stderr.29).

You ignored what I wrote (MeGUI doesn't release memory used while queuing the job ).
I'll describe it:
When pressing on "Start" bottun (script didn't return any error), in order to start the encoding, the window of the encoding appears and then disappears.
The job is definitely not completed, it doesn't even start (0 bytes can't be a video file of even 4 milisecond, not talking about 4 minutes).
The quoted error above is the error. I'm not sure if I understood that, but I hope you did.

I have the same problem, it appears when i want to run this script

DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Gintheshell\1.d2v", info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
crop( 0, 22, 0, -22)

#resize
#denoise


video source is:

Format : MPEG Video
Format-Version : Version 2
Format-Profil : Main@High

Scantyp : progressiv
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.858


well i have solved my problem, it looks like I couldn't load my video file with "DGDecode_mpeg2source"
so i have used DGMPGDec

Hi animenoyume. While you may have an error, unfortunately that screenshot does not help. Standard error stream does not mean an error occurred (it just means that *if* errors needed to be recorded, there is a place to record them).

However, the fact that you are not getting a video out means that something is going wrong. More information is going to be needed.

Can you take some screenshots of all 3 main tabs (log, queue, input)?

Also, as was pointed out earlier, make sure that MeGUI/Avisynth can actually read in the video source.
