MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[laurentje]

@Zathor

Here is the avs:

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()

For the Oneclick-solution: I'll see, but I want also resize the frames at the same time. Thanks for your suggestion.

[LigH]

And again, the "Groundhog Day" of AviSynth in general, and MeGUI specifically: How old is the guide which recommends DirectShowSource over the File Indexer? We don't, rather the opposite.

[Zathor]

Give it a try, you can also resize in there if you need no preview.
Regarding your audio issues - I cannot support DirectShowSource. Either use the old MeGUI version if that works for you (change should only be the AVS+ version used) or switch to file indexer / OneClick.

Hi Zathor.

Is there any chance of an option to disable the disabling of the "Improve AVS opening" setting when MeGUI thinks it's crashed or there's been a preview error or a light shower within 30 miles while previewing a video? :)
I ask, because when you're fiddling with scripts and experimenting with plugins etc it's inevitable you'll do something to hurt MeGUI's feelings, and I swear I must go back into Options at least 354 times per day to re-enable "Improve AVS opening".

Under what sort of circumstance would disabling that option allow MeGUI to open a script it otherwise couldn't open?

Thank you!

PS. When you open a source, MeGUI always sets the Input DAR in the script creator, but if it's not a standard DAR and you change the Input DAR yourself, you can't change it back to what it was. An InputDAR "scratchpad" maybe? Otherwise you have to reload the source and start again or create a custom Input DAR, which will force you to delete any currently saved custom DAR's when you want to eventually remove it (which is annoying because MeGUI still uses the old ITU PARs rather than the mpeg4 PARs).

PPS I've noticed MeGUI is fairly attached to choosing an ITU or generic Input DAR if the source is of a DVD-type resolution. For instance if you open an MKV at 720x576 with something close to 4:3 written to the container/video stream, MeGUI will ignore it and choose ITU or generic instead. When the aspect ratio differs enough from a standard generic or ITU PAR, MeGUI starts to pay attention, but to my way of thinking it should always do so.

PPPS. Is there any chance one day MeGUI could display the resizing resolution in the script creator? Somewhere near the aspect error area maybe? So if you set 640x480 as the resizing for example, MeGUI would tell you it's 4:3. While 640x480 is fairly obvious, often it's not.

I'm sure I had something else to complain about, but I seem to have forgotten what it was. ;)

Thanks for the continued work. It's appreciated.

PPPPS. I remembered. :)
Do you think the option to add a pre-recording job to the queue gets much use? I ask, because I use it, but mainly to encode to a lossless output, and then I re-encode that, but usually after manually creating a new script and adding more filtering etc. Theretofore, I always have to delete the other jobs MeGUI adds to the queue, but it's the only way to losslessly encode with huffYUV.
I assume the original purpose of the "pre-rendering" option was to automatically encode to an intermediate file while running slow filtering and MeGUI would then busy itself running a 2 pass encode, which is why I asked how much use it's likely to get these days. I was wondering if it'd be more useful now if it simply ran a lossless encode and let the user do the rest.

I'm done now. :)

[laurentje]

Btw you can try OneClick. You have to setup it once but then you can drag your m2ts files...

I tried OneClick, but Megui crashed.
Log file is here (https://rolandvl.stackstorage.com/s/8Gec3uB7cfg0SaI).

Tried several files with same result (crashing...)

Not sure anymore why I added that. It had something to do with preventing crashes. It may be time to remove it and see what will happen. Btw. it did not happen for me in years so not sure why it will be raised for you so often.

The last point is easy - disable "use ITU aspect ratio" in the settings. The part with the lost aspect ratio information is not so easy :-(

Do you have a sample file for that? What does MediaInfo report?

Mhm, need to check that.

I never have used that option myself likely because I am not doing multi-pass encodings.


I'm done now. :)
Ideally you raise for the changes feature requests on sourceforge. Likely it will not be faster, but your points are also no points I can implement / change right now. So it may happen that it will be burried here which I want to avoid. :)
Btw great to have you here!

Crashed at job3: Creating LSMASH index....
Glad that you would like to try it - not so good that it crashes MeGUI. MeGUI itself should never crash itself so when it happens when the first time lsmash is called the crash very likely is related to it. Are there additional information? E.g. an error window? Maybe a redist is not installed.
As a workaround you can try to change the priorities in the oneclick profile so that ffms will be used as primary indexer.
Sorry for the trouble... :(

[hello_hello]

Not sure anymore why I added that. It had something to do with preventing crashes. It may be time to remove it and see what will happen. Btw. it did not happen for me in years so not sure why it will be raised for you so often.

I think it's just because I fiddle with scripts a lot while previewing. Naturally I couldn't make it happen when I tried. Next time MeGUI resets AVS opening, I'll make a note of what happened so I can reproduce it.

The last point is easy - disable "use ITU aspect ratio" in the settings. The part with the lost aspect ratio information is not so easy :-(

I maybe didn't explain it well.
I don't use the old ITU pixel aspect ratios because they were never exactly correct to begin with (MeGUI is the only current GUI I know of that still uses them). The mpeg4 aspect ratios are simpler and easier to work with, they match the SARs in the x264 encoder configuration, they generally make it easier to crop to exactly 16:9 or 4:3, and they apply to both PAL and NTSC.
I was just having a little whine about MeGUI removing the custom MPEG4 DAR's every time I create a temporary InputDAR and then delete it.

https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/MeGUI%20DAR.gif

Do you have a sample file for that? What does MediaInfo report?

Here's two.

NTSC & PAL.zip (https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/NTSC%20_%20PAL.zip) (6MB)

I started with an NTSC DVD (using an Input DAR of 15:11), cropped 2 pixels from each side and resized back to 720x480. I then encoded it again, resizing to 720x576. The script itself:

# Set DAR in encoder to 179 : 132. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 179
global MeGUI_dary = 132
<source>
crop(2, 0, -2, 0)
Spline36Resize(720,480) # or 720x576

MPC-HC (File/Properties) reports a DAR of 72:53 for the NTSC encode and 781:576 for the PAL resolution. Aside from some very minor rounding, both are correct. MeGUI opens both as 4:3 (or ITU).
It only applies when the resolution is exactly 720x480 or 720x576 and I haven't tried to work out how far the DAR needs to be from 4:3 or 16:9 before MeGUI starts using it, but there's obviously a point at which it does.

I never have used that option myself likely because I am not doing multi-pass encodings.

I only use it because it's the only way to encode as huffyuv. The pre-rendering option is possibly obsolete, but there's probably no need to remove it, however it'd be nice to have huffyuv as an encoder choice along with x264 and xvid etc.

Ideally you raise for the changes feature requests on sourceforge. Likely it will not be faster, but your points are also no points I can implement / change right now. So it may happen that it will be burried here which I want to avoid. :)
Btw great to have you here!

Thanks. I think I've still got a few requests waiting in the queue over there but I'll add some later. ;)
Did you ever read my request for adding filtering to each trim you add with the AVS Cutter? I'm longing for the day....
The idea was to be able to include filtering with each Trim so not only could the AVS Cutter do basic cutting, you could use it as an editor of sorts. Like so:

Trim(0,100).ThisFilter().ThatFilter()

MeGUI's preview is already open and ready to preview the changes, all that's required is a way to enter them and life would be joyous once again... :)

As a workaround you can try to change the priorities in the oneclick profile so that ffms will be used as primary indexer.

On the subject of indexing, when the output folder is something other than the input folder, MeGUI no longer deletes the lsmash index file from the source directory after copying it to the output directory. Was that an intentional change?

Thanks

[raymondjpg]

Is it possible to change the order of preference of source filters in the File Indexer (e.g. always FFMS2 over L-SMASH Source)?

Also asked in the VideoHelp forum (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/383449-FFVideoSource-vs-LWLibavVideoSource) by someone else...

Was this question ever answered? I can't find it.

Regards

Edit: Looks like ability to change priority of indexer has been implemented in One-Click under the 'Other' tab.

[LigH]

An issue with xvid_encraw has just been discussed in the German doom9/Gleitz board. It turned out that xvid_encraw (in contrast to other encoders) only accepts an avisynth.dll located in a directory where a registry value of the AviSynth installation points at, but not from its base directory or %PATH%.

Recompiling an enhanced xvid_encraw (after adding such code) would require Visual Studio. I can't offer this service. Any other volunteers? — Until that, MeGUI may have to temporarily manipulate this registry value (and "temporarily" means, there may be a risk of getting permanent in case it crashes before it restores the original value).

[Groucho2004]

It turned out that xvid_encraw (in contrast to other encoders) only accepts an avisynth.dll located in a directory where a registry value of the AviSynth installation points at, but not from its base directory or %PATH%.
That is not correct.

xvid_encraw (and I presume similar tools that use the VfW API) will work just fine with these registry entries present:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AVIFile\Extensions\avs]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}]
@="AviSynth"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}\InProcServer32]
@="avisynth.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"


Tools that use the native Avisynth API don't need them to work.

[LigH]

Well, maybe I misinterpreted these brief reports (https://forum.gleitz.info/showthread.php?47949-MeGui-Error-Diagnostik-hilfe&p=459748&viewfull=1#post459748).

Your analysis seems to suggest that MeGUI should "temporarily register AviSynth to the local copy" if AviSynth was not yet installed in the system? I hope I understood this time.

[Groucho2004]

Your analysis seems to suggest that MeGUI should "temporarily register AviSynth to the local copy" if AviSynth was not yet installed in the system?Yes. Installing Avisynth is not necessary but these 3 entries must be there. Xvid will then use the standard Windows search hierarchy to look for avisynth.dll/devil.dll. However, auto-loading plugins will not work without additional registry entries.

[LigH]

I guess these will have been redirected to MeGUI's selection while it is active, anyway.
_

P.S.: But that also means that making xvid_encraw use native AviSynth API would be quite an overhaul? That may not be worth the efforts, with an expectable obsolescence...

[Groucho2004]

But that also means that making xvid_encraw use native AviSynth API would be quite an overhaul?Definitely not worth it.

[Zetti]

eac3to v3.33 is released.

MKVToolNix v18.0.0 is released.

[Zathor]

My report in the other forum really was not very precise. But the reg keys pointed out by Groucho are the ones who have been reported missing by Process Monitor and after writing them everything is fine. MeGUI will now check first if those exist and if not it will create them (in the HKCU part). Directly after xvid starts they will be removed again.

These are the keys (stripped down to the bare minimum):


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AVIFile\Extensions\avs]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}\InProcServer32]
@="avisynth.dll"



2779 [Xvid] added a workaround to be able to use Xvid in portable AviSynth mode
2778 [Chapter] fixed non-ASCII handling (regression of 2753). bug #898
2777 [Settings] changed the default value of "delete completed jobs" to be enabled
2776 [OneClick] added support for MKV attachments. If the MKV source does have such attachments, it will be copied to the target MKV. feature request #617

[Zathor]

eac3to v3.33 is released.

MKVToolNix v18.0.0 is released.

Thx, uploaded as well.

[Zathor]

Thanks. I think I've still got a few requests waiting in the queue over there but I'll add some later. ;)

I usually do not have much time and searching in threads and posts for a topic is very time consuming. E.g. your posts contain several items and it is quite hard to follow in a time efficient way (and therefore I postpone the answers and forgot then about them...)

Was this question ever answered? I can't find it.

Edit: Looks like ability to change priority of indexer has been implemented in One-Click under the 'Other' tab.
No, it has not been implemented for the file indexer.

With the recent issue posts about lsmash I think about to move the default priority back to ffms.

[Zathor]

On the subject of indexing, when the output folder is something other than the input folder, MeGUI no longer deletes the lsmash index file from the source directory after copying it to the output directory. Was that an intentional change?

Sort of - it will only be deleted if "delete intermediate files" is enabled. While thinking about it, as it is copied I believe the original file can be deleted in any case. I will change it.

[Zathor]

2784 [AVS Script Creator] fixed DirectShowSource/AVISource not available if the portable AviSynth is used. bug #896
DirectShowSource/AVISource are disabled by default and have to be enabled in the MeGUI settings
2783 [AVS Script Creator] improved the file extension filters of the "video input" file open dialogue
2782 [L-SMASH Indexer] delete always the index file after it has been copied (and not only when "delete intermediate files" is selected)
2781 [Settings] removed "improved AVS opening" setting. It is now always enabled.
2780 [Update] removed the abort button

[Zetti]

eac3to v3.34 is released.

[Zathor]

Thanks, but I will wait for 3.35:

3.33 seems to be fine for the MeGUI functions used for the moment.

There are also new LAME binaries: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php

EDIT:
Bug:

Since Build 2784 (propably 2783) I can't select *.mpls files in the AVS script creator at video input as "All supported files". I have to change to "All files(*.*)"

[Zathor]

Thanks, I will have a look.

Not really a bug, but a good catch! Before *.* was preselected which allowed also to select totally wrong files.
MPLS is also not in the default file open filter of the file indexer. Are there any other filters missing?

[Zathor]

lame.exe in both versions (32/64) is detected as a virus by my virus scanner. this will only be a false alert very likely based on reputation - however if I upload it MeGUI will also get a bad reputation score as it is downloading such a thing. Therefore I will not update it for the moment.

[Morku]

Thats weird. I use Windows Defender and it's not detecting a virus. Also virustotal gives a good reputation: https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/36525f3f84c6512228152b9899265652e8c4e1bcd18d1a84ed74db1a612c7fd0/analysis/1511295863/

If not a bug, can I change the behaviour to make "All files (*.*)" as default? Since DGIndexNV supports mpls files, I prefer this way over finding out the m2ts files (especially when the movie is parted in many m2ts files).

[Barough]

Therefore I will not update it for the moment.It's a false positive and nothing to worry about. Have used the lame.exe's from Rarewares on 4 different computers with 3 different AV's (2 x Avira, Comodo, Bitdefender) and non of these detects anything. I don't see how MeGUI would get a bad rep due to using good lame.exe compiles.
Care to tell what AV your using Zathor?

No, that was the reason for the change. *.* does catch all files and therefore also exe, bat, cmd, txt, ... so that mpls has been left out is a mistake but it has also been left out in the file indexer.

Btw why do you open the mpls in AVS Creator? Why not directly with file indexer / oneclick?

[Morku]

Uh, good question. I have never tried the One Click before, so I use the "manual way" for years. I use AVS Creator to index the file and crop if necessary, "HD streams extractor" to get subtitles and audio. Convert audio with a bat, convert subs with SubtitleEdit and after all bring together with MeGUI. But I will have a look into the One Click Encoder :)

[Zathor]

OK, but then AVS Script Creator will just open the File Indexer, a bit faster would be to open directly the file indexer.
I will implement MPLS support in the same way as with IFO so that also the other indexers will work. DGIndexIM/NV will directly use the mpls, for the others eac3to will demux it.

[Pko]

The One Click Encoder window is not resizeable and the input selector field is too wide and part of it, the part that allows to select an option, is outside the window limits:

MeGUI 2774 updated

[tebasuna51]

Also, the audio processing gets hung forever for some files:

Your log seems ok, but sometimes the NeroAacEnc have troubles with not congruent parameters:

-lc -q 0.3

In Automatic profile (always recomended with Variable BitRate) a quality of 0.3 output -he profile, use 0.32 at least to obtain -lc quality.

EDIT:
With a music sample file (48 KHz) I obtain a
HE 88 Kb/s with -q 0.3
LC 90 Kb/s with -q 0.32
LC 94 Kb/s with -q 0.35

I recommend at least 0.35 for LC (it's not good work in limits)

@Zathor
Maybe in Nero AAC configuration dialog you can disable the AAC Profile, and let in Automatic, when Variable Bitrate is selected.

And replace the label with:

Variable Bitrate, Q > 0,31 for AAC LC (Q=selected)

[tuanden0]

After update to MeGUI 2784 Dev, I can't open video as DirectShowSource.
The Message Box to chose way to open source is disappeared.
MeGUI automaticaly open source as index file.
How can I fixed it?

[LigH]

This is intentional. Read the changelog.

DirectShoiwSource is the most unreliable way to process media files. If you really want to use it, enable it manually. It's your own risk.

@LigH:
Thank You
This is my mistake because I didn't read changelog after update :(

Does this work for you? I tried it now in order to implement MPLS support and noticed this issue:

http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=605

EDIT: Solution found

[Zathor]

2787 [AVS Script Creator] added mpls as supported input type
[File Indexer] added mpls as supported input type
[File Indexer] do not reset the output path when selecting a different indexer if the path has already been set
2786 [DGIndex* Indexer] all: support absolute paths in the index files when written with Full_Path_In_Files=0
IM/NV: ensure that ResponseOnAudioMismatch=0 is not set (if set, it will be set to 1)
2785 [Nero AAC Encoder] if VBR is used the profile will automatically be selected

It worked fine before...

At least the stack trace at the end of this log should narrow down the reason a bit...

[numaios]

Hello to everyone.

I've been encoding several files in MeGUI 2787, with x264 codec, using preset Slow, and ticking the "show advanced settings" checkbox to change ME method from hex to uneven multihex and "adaptive b-frames" to 2 (Optimal) (the default option for x264's slow preset now is 1 (fast), but in fact the default option in MeGUI is 2).

The thing is I want to use --b-adapt 2 but even when I set it in the GUI, the command line is:

program --preset slow --tune film --crf 21.0 --me umh --output "output" "input"

(See this screenshot: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1825604#post1825604)

So, the encoded file is reported by Mediainfo as:

Writing library : x264 core 152 r2851 ba24899
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=8 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=3 / lookahead_threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=50 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=21.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

I know I can add --b-adapt 2 as a custom command line in "Misc" tab, but maybe this could be fixed in the next version?

Thank you very much.

No :(

Thanks, please test it with the debug build: http://megui.org/megui_debug.zip
EDIT: Ignore it, I found the line. But I do not know what is causing it... I tried several Blu-ray files and it does work as intended. Searching...

[Zathor]

program --preset slow --tune film --crf 21.0 --me umh --output "output" "input"

As you wrote MeGUI is not adding anything related to --b-adapt as it is the default. So the problem likely is somewhere else. Could you maybe upload an encoding log if it is added there? Have you already tried to reset the profile to default?

[sneaker_ger]

as it is the default.
It's not anymore.

Thanks, please test it with the debug build: http://megui.org/megui_debug.zip

Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.

But the default (nowadays) b-adapt option is 1 (fast), since last year:

It's like if MeGUI "thought" it has an outdated x264 version.

Could you maybe upload an encoding log if it is added there?

Have you already tried to reset the profile to default?
Yes, I have.

-If you select "0-Off" in the dropdown list, " --b-adapt 0" is added to the command line.
-If you select "1-Fast" in the dropdown list, " --b-adapt 1" is added to the command line.
-If you select "2-Optimal" in the dropdown list, nothing is added to the command line (as if the default option was 2, but it isn't, so the x264 version used by MeGUI won't apply the correct setting)

Thanks, I have adjusted last year the "Swap --me umh for --trellis 2" part, but it seems I have missed the --b-adapt change :rolleyes:

Oh, you are using the x64 version... the debug files will not work for that. Give me a few minutes and I will post another link...
