MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

@Zathor
MediaInfo 0.7.99 is out. :)

[LigH]

No cross-posting please. You already asked in the other thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1817170#post1817170).

@Zathor
MediaInfo 0.7.99 is out. :)
Thanks!

[LeMoi]

When I want to rip a movie from a Blu-Ray ISO mounted in a virtual drive (an M2TS file), MEGui doesn't allow me to use 'L-SMASH Works' with File Indexer, only FFMSIndex (which is way slower that the other option...), is there a way to solve this? I have no such problem if I extract the files in a folder on my HDD...

[Zathor]

The Index file has to be created in the directory of the input file.

[LeMoi]

Even if I choose another folder in the output section? So the only way is to copy the m2ts file in the HDD?

[LigH]

The AviSynth plugin will look for an existing index file in the same directory as the source file, and create a new one just there if it does not exist (and if you did not disable creating it – which LwLibavSource does not support; only FFMS2 supports keeping the index in the RAM, and LSMASHVideoSource would rely on an index chunk present in the source file, but only works with ISO Media container formats like MOV and MP4, not with M2TS).

So yes: First copy the file to the harddisk where an index file can be written. Your optical drive will enjoy less stress as well, converting directly from it may cause a lot more seek operations than just one straight copy.

[LeMoi]

OK, thanks for your answers, and BTW I was talking about a virtual drive, not optical, so I think read speed would be the same ^^

MeGUI 2768 Dev. / Updater: While no update is available, the "Abort" button does not close the updater, only disables itself. So what is its intended function?

[Zathor]

Good question, it was "always there". I am not even sure if it really aborts when an update is running :(
Maybe best thing is to remove it.

@Zathor

When transcoding audio using OneClick, it shifts the audio tracks to the wrong position in the output file (even though tracks were in the right order while in the OneClick GUI).

I've included a sample file + steps to reproduce: https://mega.nz/#!ZHpjWIBI!VRLZnCWDyQU4Z1Aufmre_KwR4ERdRxGVYaedT9rRY1Q

Zathor, any chance you found out why this occurs?

[Zathor]

No, I have not had a look into the source code since July. Only a quick one today for:

2770 [Chapter] added support for alternative TXT chapter files (regression of 2753). bug #893
2769 [Chapter] improved Apple XML handling. patch #70 by Eli Bildirici

[Zetti]

eac3to v3.32 is released.

[tebasuna51]

With eac3to v3.32 we can extract HEVC tracks like .h265 (only, can't output mkv even with haali installed)

You need modify the HD Stream Extractor to allow that in:

[Zathor]

Thanks, has the eac3 demux also been fixed?

[tebasuna51]

[Nope, the demux always output elementary video streams, before video outputs can be .h264, .m2v or .vc1
Now can output also .h265]

Sorry I confused your question.

Nope, the changelog is only:

* added support for UHD Blu-Ray playlists and clip infos
* added support for h265/HEVC bitstream parsing
* added support for m2ts h265/HEVC splitting
* added support for MKV h265/HEVC splitting
* added support for h265/HEVC framerate modifications
* added detection for Dolby Vision Enhancement Layer

[hello_hello]

Zathor,

any chance of adding an avc extension to the supported file types list for the muxers? It's easy enough to change the extension to to h264, but MKVToolNix is happy with avc (and gMKVExtractGUI extracts it that way).

Cheers.

[tebasuna51]

Now the muxer support .264 and .h264 for RAW MPEG-4 AVC Files
Maybe Zathor can add .avc

BTW any GUI for mkvextract.exe can select the extension without limits, maybe is more easy change gMKVExtractGUI to output .h264
Now my GUI for mkvextract.exe (UsEac3to) output .264 and can modify this to .h264 (in next version 1.2.7) to match the extension than eac3to demux output.
MkvToolNix (and eac3to) accept any extension because identify the stream by the header, not by extension.

Now the muxer accept only .hevc for RAW MPEG-H HEVC Files, must add .h265 (please Zathor) like eac3to output.

[skywalker]

Good evening!

I'm new here, and I have a problem that haunts me for a long time and I do not know how to solve it.

I can not do coder in Megui in 2pass 1st pass. It always happens the same error and could not solve, whether you helped me?

The bug is this:

Error starting job
Exception message: Calling setup failed with 'Required file' error C: \ User \ THS.264' is missing
Starcktrace: in MeGUI.core.gui.JobWorker.startEncoding (TaggedJob job)
Inner exception: null

Whenever you change encoder mode to 2pass, this appears. And it always says:

program --preset veryslow --tune film --pass 1 --bitrate 30000 --stats ".stats" --keyint 300 --output NUL "input"

Could someone help me solve this?

Thanks!

[Zathor]

Please post a full log

[Zetti]

MKVToolNix v17.0.0 is released.

[Zathor]

Thx, new versions of eac3to, mkvtoolnix and mp4box are not online. mp4box update is required to properly support hevc/h265.

[sneaker_ger]

mp4box update is required to properly support hevc/h265.
Can you link to further info about this?

[Zathor]

Sure, I run with the sample file I have in this issue:
https://github.com/gpac/gpac/issues/834

Interestingly only if demuxed with eac3to in a hevc file extension. If demuxed to h265 it did not occur. In any case the update of mp4box fixed it.
EDIT: ffmpeg also updated

[Zathor]

2771 [HD Streams Extractor] added support for HEVC video tracks (requires eac3to 3.32+)
[Muxer] added support for the h265 file extension

[Megalith]

I updated eac3to to 3.32, but the Streams Extractor is unable to extract any h265/HEVC files despite having them listed (Type: Unknown). Is this normal?

[Zathor]

Do you have updated MeGUI also to 2771? If yes, please post a log - if not, please update MeGUI.

[Megalith]

Thank you; updating did the trick. I did not realize I had to go into the options menu and change the update server to the development one.

[skywalker]

Hi, good morning!

Could someone help me with the error below.
I can not encode any videos in 2pss 1st pass, this same error always occurs.

Does anyone know what is happening and could help me?

[LigH]

Apparently you run a 1st pass with x264 which generates no video output (--output NUL), but it is still supposed to be multiplexed to an MKV?!

[Zathor]

Hi, good morning!

Could someone help me with the error below.
I can not encode any videos in 2pss 1st pass, this same error always occurs.

Does anyone know what is happening and could help me?


How do you have created these jobs?

[mini-moose]

from what I can tell x265 config is only showing very basic options:
preset / encoding method / crf #.

Are there plans to add a more detailed view with all the various setting the encoder offers (like in x264 config show advanced settings) ?

thanks.

[disklib]

I'm getting a muxing error that seems to be caused by using MKVmerge 17.0 with an audio delay.

When I let MKV Muxer GUI auto-set the delay I get...
Error: Invalid sync option specified in '--sync 0:20ms'.

When I manually change the delay to 0 in the GUI it muxes without issue.

When I revert MKVmerge to the previous 15.0 version it muxes the delay without issue.

Here's the full log...

Seems than MkvMerge 17.0 now:

* mkvmerge: command line options: an error message will be output if the single-value-form of the `--sync` option is used and it isn't a number (e.g. `--sync 0:asd`). Fixes #2121.

then '--sync 0:20ms' must be now '--sync 0:20' without the 'ms'

Thanks, fixed in 2772.

from what I can tell x265 config is only showing very basic options:
preset / encoding method / crf #.

Are there plans to add a more detailed view with all the various setting the encoder offers (like in x264 config show advanced settings) ?
As I am not using x265 myself and have very limited time: yes, it is on the road map but do not expect it soon.

1/1 - updating package LAME
Error: Failed to download package LAME: File cannot be found on the server.

Please try it again. If it still fails please post the full log.

[wthreex]

Fixed.

https://imgur.com/SDPjwj0Aargh, I eagerly got the new MeGUI 2774 but the sar issue still isn't working. Additionally now it also ignores the option to not demux the entire video stream.

So if I try and add a custom sar, the space between sar and the numbers gets entered as a letter r. This throws an error in the job. If I don't use a space then the custom sar values get ignored.
https://imgur.com/SDPjwj0

Also, now when I try and start off using the File Indexer (FILE > Open > browse to the first VOB) it always creates a duplicate set of all the VOBs. Checking or unchecking the box to "Demux Video Stream" now has no effect - it's getting demuxed every time and creating an additional 7.9GB of duplicate VOB files.

[Zathor]

Please add always proper custom command lines otherwise they cannot be parsed. Therefore add "--sar 95:79" with the leading --.

Regarding the file indexer - please post the full log.

[ratpack]

OK thanks for the answer on the sar.

Attached is the log. The box to demux video stream was not checked, but the files were still created.

If it's not occurred in general testing then I wonder if it's because MeGUI isn't installed in the normal default location? It looks like it's been installed in the same folder on my system since back at version 2624.

Problems with update 2774 and audio

Yesterday version 2774 was installed on top of an existing 2715 version on Windows 10.
Result: problems of audio. The audio is messed and a clicking noise (like a gun is shooting) is produced in the audio.

What want I to do with Megui? I have m2ts-files and I want to convert them to mp4-files (h264-video en aac-audio). I do this with an avs-file like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\programs\megui\tools\avs\plugins\DirectShowSource.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\programs\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\TDeint.dll")
DirectShowSource("D:\roland\Videos\can\m2ts\04-08-17\20170804141228.m2ts",fps=25.000)
TDeint() #Deinterlaces the clip
#Crop(4,0,-4,0) #Crops video to get rid of black bars
Spline36Resize(640,360) #Resize the clip
ConvertToYV12()

The audio in the original file is:
Audio
ID : 4352 (0x1100)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Format settings, Endianness : Big
Codec ID : 129
Duration : 2 min 16 s
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 448 kb/s
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate : 31.250 FPS (1536 spf)
Bit depth : 16 bits
Compression mode : Lossy
Stream size : 7.28 MiB (3%)
Service kind : Complete Main

I want this audio tranfered to :LC-AAC format

Before the last update I did this several years, without problems!! The last year I use the QAAC-encoder. Testing with several options of the audio-dialog shows that the problem is with the "Downmix multichannel to Stereo"-option is.

When I download the version 2774 from the official site and I run this version, the QAAC-encoder is not anymore present. Is this normal or a bug?
So my question is now: how to encode the audio to format lc-aac if QAAC-package is not present?

[tebasuna51]

Also, now when I try and start off using the File Indexer (FILE > Open > browse to the first VOB) it always creates a duplicate set of all the VOBs.

Thats hapens when VOB's have more than a PGC stream:

---[Information] [2017-11-12 8:39:45 PM] File: C:\Backups\WE_BOUGHT_A_ZOO\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_0.IFO
...
----[Information] PGCCount: 4

and the VOB's created aren't duplicated but with only the main PGC stream.
The others PGC's can have copyright message, credits, extras, etc. than must be eliminated from original VOB's using pgcdemux:

@laurentje:

QAAC is only a command line interface tool to the Apple CoreAudio encoder. To use it, you need to have either QuickTime or iTunes installed, or at least unpack the required DLL's from their installer (preferably from iTunes 64-bit), using the "makeportable" batch provided by the QAAC author. Furthermore, to use QAAC, you have to enable it in the "Settings" dialog in the "External Program Configuration" tab.

[LigH]

The "Abort" button in the updater window still does nothing...

Maybe best thing is to remove it.

I don't know if changes in last version modify the MeGUI behaviour, but if you use DirectShowSource to open a file we can't know what happens with the audio.

The correct way is extract the AC3 file (Tools -> HD Streams Extractor)
and recode it to aac-lc (using LWLibavAudioSource or NicAudio)

The QAAC package (and NeroAacEnc than can be equivalent for aac-lc) must be enabled (Options -> Settings -> External Program Configuration) and maybe manually download the first time or update.

Check if you have already, from your previous MeGUI version:
...\megui\tools\qaac\QTfiles...
...\megui\tools\eac3to\neroAacEnc.exe

[Zathor]

@laurentje: In any case a full log of the encoding (including versions header) is required for proper support - currently we can only guess that you have used DirectShowSource also for the audio encoding, which architecture you are using (32/64bit), ...

@All: If not noticed already I have released yesterday a new "stable" build 2774.

[laurentje]

@Zathor:
No problem for the log list but the audio is terrible. And the system is Windows 10, which is 64bit.
The log is here (https://rolandvl.stackstorage.com/s/pFY4YTNCmuoP35h).

The result video is here (https://rolandvl.stackstorage.com/s/GmSAJBHmDiaVV4B).

In the beginning of the clip you hear clicks like gunshots... which are not in the original clip.

[laurentje]

@tebasuna51

1) audio encoding AAC
Well, this was quite simple: in the Settings, 3rd tab 'External Program Contifuration', activate checkbox QAAC. Then the program shall ask for update, etc...

2) The splitting task via the tool is an extra step in the workflow, too much... A better solution is to put the name of the mts-file directly in the input field of the audio file. (the standard beheviour is that Megui put the same name here als the viedofilename)

[Zathor]

What is in this script?
Import("C:\tmp\video\can\m2ts_raw\can_dag01_raw2.avs")

Btw you can try OneClick. You have to setup it once but then you can drag your m2ts files on it or even use batch encoding if you drag multiple files on it. It will then be properly processed without DirectShowSource.
