MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[rapscallion]

credit really goes to Kurtnoise for compiling the device settings spreadsheet. i updated the profiles to include AVCHD (DVD5/9)

Will that be included as an update in the next stable build ?

Hi Zathor

i use DGindexNV
mpeg2 encode
Audio not synchronized
can you Check?

Thanks!

The Update-routine of the new presets is a little buggy: Neither "Import" nor "Cancel" close the window.

[Kurtnoise]

- [HDBDStreamExtractor] added mkv as file input source
be aware that eac3to doesn't handle all streams which can be found in mkv nowadays. That's why I hadn't added this extension.

Thank you very much for your warning! Do you know which streams can not be handled? I would like to make a few tests with these streams.

I will check this later.

Long standing issue with the HD stream extractor. When selecting an output format you need to click on the box 3 times to get a drop down.

Also i want to second this:

BTW.

Everyone involved in MeGUI development.... You rock. Thank you all for making the most versatile GUI available.

[Kurtnoise]

iirc, mainly AAC & subtitles streams (SRT,SSA,VobSub)...

this comes from the designed component...

[saint-francis]

You mean this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141829)tool? As I recall the issue was there and it eventually disappeared. I think that in it's last iterations the issue was not present but it was when merged with MeGUI. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Rat Killer]

- [DGIndexer] added percentage output to the progress window
- [DGNVIndexer] + [DGAVCIndexer] prepared for reading the stdout so that the percentage can be read as soon as it is supported by the tools
- [HDBDStreamExtractor] added mkv as file input source
- [HDBDStreamExtractor] for audio stream types the first stream output type will be preselected
- [MeGUISettings] + [SettingsForm] + [MP4BoxMuxer] added temporary folder selection for mp4 muxer
- [SettingsForm] cosmetics

Fixed (new build in first post)

Can someone confirm that the proxy is working (or not)? I have no proxy to test but if I use a wrong proxy the connection will fail (as expected). So the proxy value is used.

I do not know why

DGIndexNV, 99,99% film, 29,970 fps
DGIndex, 94,85% film, 23,976 fps

Seems to be a problem with film detection. I have to confess that I have no experience with film because I live in PAL land... need to read a few things about it.
EDIT: Solution found. Edit your dgi file and replace "FO 2" with "FO 1" and "FPS 30000 / 1001" with "FPS 24000 / 1001". This will be added automatically like in the dgv with the next build.

I'm getting a directshow error when opening .ts (or m2ts) files in the avisynth creator. I know this has been addressed before but I couldn't find the answer. I've reintstalled ffdshow. Anyone care to reiterate?

[gwaitsi]

when i open DG Creator, DGIndexNV is greyed out. this happens on both my machines, one which has a 8600GTS - supported card according to the author.

If i try to run DGIndexNV directly, it says license.txt is missing. is this required for MeGUI?

I am trying to converty a vc1 source and i did it with AVS Creator using direct show, but the converted video plays back choppy.

[Knuffi]

MKV as input file is really a great feature! THANKS!

BTW: 1061 from the first post calls itself 1060 ... ;)

[Zathor]

BTW: 1061 from the first post calls itself 1060 ... ;)
Yes, the version number changes as soon as 1061 is officially released. Therefore it is possible to update all dev 1061 builds with the final build.

You need the license.txt to use DGIndexNV:

I've begun to get confused now that (1) I've updated to the latest development of megui and (2) started the blu ray process since I've recently bought a blu ray drive. I don't have a CUDA graphics card, so am I not able to decode blu ray movies? Sorry but the blu ray transcoding process related to Megui is quite unclear to me.

edit: can we encode DTS HD to aac in Megui?

[Rat Killer]

I use the HD streams extractor to extract an h264 and an ac3 track from an mkv. Then use the mp4 muxer to put them in an IMSA standard mp4 container. The original mkv plays fine, the mp4 the audio is very out of sync and seems to get worse throughout the video.

Ideas what I am doing wrong or how I can accomplish the mkv -> mp4 conversion and maintain the audio sync?

Of course you are able to decode bluray movies without dgindexnv. You can use dg(avc)index for mpeg2/avc movies and open the vc-1 source file directly with directshowsource or dss2 if the proper filters are installed.

MeGUI is not the simplest GUI when it comes to default tasks like converting a bluray to a mkv/avchd image. For example you can have a look at staxrip or ripbot.

So i am trying to convert a vc1 in mkv with directshow. picture opens up in avs creator save it and picture opens up with avs is loaded into megui. start the queue and log file shows
"encoding started
standard output stream
stander error stream"

and marks the job complete.

AutoEncode "problem".

Encoded tracks can't be modifed (set up language etc) in adaptive muxer, i.e.:
http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/204/meguiam.th.gif (http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/204/meguiam.gif)

Of cource I can mux it after encoding, but it's not so comfy :)

[lnatan25]

Zathor, is the source code in SourceForge in sync with the latest version?

[Zathor]

Zathor, is the source code in SourceForge in sync with the latest version?
It is always in sync with the main build numbers (eg. the stable 1060 build) but there may be differences between this build and my development build.

[Lambpete]

I just updated to 1060 and noticed in the log: - (zathor) [SettingsForm] removed the unnecessary program paths

and: (zathor) [MeGUISettings] + [SettingsForm] all automatically installed tool paths cannot be changed anymore

:(


Is there any way you could add the x264 one back... I frequently change my build outside of the update server and this will be very annoying :(


thanks for all the work you have been doing :)

in case it makes life a pain the ass for zathor, an easy workaround would be to set x264 to not autoupdate and create a symlink to your desired directory. that's what i did.

MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target

/D Creates a directory symbolic link. Default is a file
symbolic link.
/H Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
/J Creates a Directory Junction.
Link specifies the new symbolic link name.
Target specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
refers to.

Of course you are able to decode bluray movies without dgindexnv. You can use dg(avc)index for mpeg2/avc movies and open the vc-1 source file directly with directshowsource or dss2 if the proper filters are installed.

I wasn't aware of Dgavc until yesterday. And I tried opening the files via directshow but I kept getting a directshow error. I asked here in the forum but didn't receive an answer.

MeGUI is not the simplest GUI when it comes to default tasks like converting a bluray to a mkv/avchd image. For example you can have a look at staxrip or ripbot.

I definitely wasn't looking for the most simple. I just hadn't done a blu ray encode until yesterday. I had just got a blu ray drive and started buying blu rays so I was entirely unaware of the process of encoding a blu ray. Unfortunately it took me the whole day (work may not be all THAT important ;)) just to figure it out when a few simple answers were all I needed. Could have saved an enormous amount of time (and gave me more time to pretend as though I was working ;)).

- [ProfileImporter] added force film detection for DGIndexNV

yep, i have win7 x64. i tried playback using wmv9 and it was fine. i switched to libavcodec and the playback was choppy. i updated my k-lite to the latest version which resolved that.

i can play back through mkv or m2ts but not as raw vc1.
the m2ts causes AVS Script Creator to crash i.e. hangs trying to load.

the mkv has the same problem originally posted in Megui. Log says nothing really.

FPS 24000 / 1001

Funny, but whenever I've used that in a AVS script, the Megui log shows 23.000 fps. The only way I get 23.976 is to use the floating point # in the script.

@ Zathor

Any chance that u could update the MediaInfo libraries to the latest version also, ie v0.7.27

[ircopdd]

Zathor Thanks! fixed

:thanks::thanks::D

[HeadlessCow]

You should be able to use AssumeFPS(24000, 1001) or ChangeFPS/ConvertFPS in your avisynth script if you want to specify 23.976 fps using the fractional representation.

[Zathor]

@ Zathor

It will be updated with the next official build. Just for my information: why would you like to have it updated? The changelog seems to be more or less irrelevant for MeGUI.

[Kurtnoise]

I meant the listview component. HDBDStreamExtractor and the form built in MeGUI use the same component (i.e the same code to create the interface). And the issue you described appears in both since the beginning. You have to ask to Greif about this...


@Zathor : what do you think about the Audio Interface that I made in my own branch (http://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/megui/megui/branches/kurtnoise/) ? It's much clearer than the current one imo. Could be great to have it in the trunk or not ?

[rapscallion]

You should be able to use AssumeFPS(24000, 1001) or ChangeFPS/ConvertFPS in your avisynth script if you want to specify 23.976 fps using the fractional representation.
All 3 of those cause a script error.

[Barough]

I noticed that a new version of it was released and u have been fixing/tweaking stuff in meGUI so i thought i would just ask

[dstln]

Not sure if you're accepting feature requests or not, but if so, would it be possible to add flac encoding support? I personally use flac a decent amount for archiving stuff from capture and would get good use out of batch converting from video files.

Also what is the link for the development servers?

[SacredCultivator]

@dstln: For update server, if anything it is the one listed on first post, "http://megui.org/auto/"

Although there isn't much to update at the moment, unless I am mistaken myself.

[Cyber-Mav]

is it possible to encode an xvid avi file directly into x264 using megui yet?

[quantum5uicid3]

without an avs u mean? no. after ffmpegsource2 is integrated in the git, hopefully. i already manually use ffmpegsource2 instead of directshow for all my video sources through avisynth and it works great.

[nurbs]

Zathor, there is a small bug in the DG Creator (0.3.1.1060). It displays a warning that no audio tracks are found even if the file you select is a .vc1 or .h264 file.

Zathor, there is a small bug in the DG Creator (0.3.1.1060). It displays a warning that no audio tracks are found even if the file you select is a .vc1 or .h264 file.

Is this warning really needed anyway?
I mean you see the audio disabled radio button anyway below.

I always demux the content of my blu-rays with hd stream extractor prior to transcoding to x264.
I use mkv format in stream extractor for video as h264 cannot be used for directshowsource.
I always get this warning although I know that there cannot be any audio file in this mkv.

Perhaps, it would be possible to add a checkbox to the warning "Never show again", so people can disable it that don't want to see it, others can leave it active.

I just tested Greif's version 0.6, there it is fixed.
So the fix was not ported to MeGUI.

Regarding the temporary workers. I would like to change it that way that a temporary worker is closed automatically without question. Any objections arising?


It's still asking for closing the temporary workers here in build 0.3.1.1060.
Just to bring this back ontopic :helpful:

:thanks:

[mcwups1]

Just got this downloaded. I've always like MeGui, but last night I tried to convert a half of a basketball game from an HD-PVR recording, and it stopped with a few hundred frames left to transcode. (99.89%)

It happened twice actually since the download. Set it @7pm last night, then got up @ 3am and re-did the encode. Still, same results.

Any ideas?

[XhmikosR]

That's a x264 problem and not MeGUI's fault. You can try a build from x264.nl to see if the problem exists with that build too.
