Please extract these files (choose x64 subfolder if your are using the 64bit one) and replace the existing ones. The error will still be there but it should show in which lines in code it does not work. I will then provide a fix.

Zathor, if you need more log's or information just tell me and i will give ASAP.

Windows 10 for Workstations is a new version from microsoft:
https://blogs.windows.com/business/2017/08/10/microsoft-announces-windows-10-pro-workstations/

[Zathor]

Thanks, 2827 is online which should fix the issue.

[Zetti]

What about updates in post #6026 and #6027 ??

Thanks, 2827 is online which should fix the issue.

This new version (2827) works with Windows 10 Pro Workstations but not with the others windows (Tested in one virtual machine with windows 7 x64).

Edit: it's working now.

[Zathor]

Please post the log

EDIT: Ok, seems to work :-)

[Zathor]

What about updates in post #6026 and #6027 ??

Thanks for the reminder

MKVToolNix v21.0.0.0 is released

x265 v2.7 is released

Thank you very much, packages updated

[legal]

Please post the log

It's working now... peharps i was too fast on update... or something messed on my virtual machine.

Haven't used MeGUI for a few weeks but when I did MeGUI 2818 Developer crashed upon opening and I was greeted with this error:

MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I checked Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Application and noticed that the crash was a conflict between MeGUI and .NET Framework 4.7.1.
I had resonantly installed a .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852 through Windows Update.

I uninstalled the KB4054852 update and MeGUI worked fine.

I've used MeGUI Developer for years and love it - This is my 1st real issue with it.

Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

Looks an issue with MeGUI not handling this .NET Framework 4.7.1 update.

Thanks for any info - RON

--------------------------------------
Update: After uninstalling the .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852, I updated MeGUI to v2827 developer then downloaded
NDP471-KB4054856-x86-x64-AllOS.exe and installed it manually and all is well.

My only guess is that MeGUI v2818 becomes dead in the water if you install the .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852 before updating
MeGUI to v2827.

So the lessen learned is to update Megui to the latest version before updating .NET Framework ;o)

Hi! Good day! I would like to ask some help if possible on how to make a hardsub video using MeGUI with an MP4 output.

Sources are almost MKV, small chances on MP4.

I think hardsub is the solution for videos I uploaded. The original videos I uploaded has softsub but it won't show on video hosting sites.

I hope you can help me. Thank you!

Best regards,
-Me

If you have the subtitles ready to go, open a source file with the File Indexer, add the job to the queue, switch to the Queue tab and run it. When the indexing is done, the Script Creator should open with a preview. Subtitles are added to a script under the Script Creator's Filters tab.

Or use the OneClick encoder. It'll also batch encode. I assume it can extract any subtitles contained in the source files. I'm not sure about using separate subtitles though (individual srt or ass subtitle files etc). Someone else will probably know.

Hi! Thank you for your reply. It's still softsub. What I want to know is how to make a hardsub video in MeGUI. Please help.

[LigH]

"Hardsub" means to render the subtitles into the converted video, using AviSynth video filters, so you best look in the "AVS Script Creator" in its "Filters" tab at the bottom.

Can you teach me step x step?
1st ctrl + r for AVS Script Creator
2nd select source file for video input
after that this prompt, what should I choose?

I realise you want to encode the subtitles, which is why I explained how to encode the subtitles in my previous post. ;)

You'll have to index if you want to modify scripts with the Script Creator or preview each script for adding it to the queue for encoding. The OneClick encoder is designed to make the whole process automatic.
My previous post described one way of doing indexing, step x step. If you open a source file with the File Indexer as I suggested, MeGUI will add the indexing job to the job queue, and from there you can run it by switching to the Queue tab.
I'll confess I didn't include instructions on how to open the File Indexer, because I assumed you knew all the Tools are found under the Tools menu, the File Indexer included.

If you open a source another way, via the File/Open menu for example, or by opening the Script Creator and selecting the source as the video input, MeGUI should offer to open the File Indexer for you, and from there the steps would be much the same as the steps I described in my previous post.

Hi Zathor! Thanks for your great work.

I have a feature request for mp4 muxing:

Can you add an option to use the -ipod switch when you use the muxer. The reason for it is that in my experience DLNA servers usually don't recognise embedded subtitles in the file without it, but they work fine if it is used. Haven't had any negative experiences or incompatibilities using it yet.

An option for -itags 'name' and 'cover' would also be nice, but I suspect that's much more work compared to the benefit.

If you select the device tpye iPod in the muxer the command -ipod is already added to the mp4muxer command line.

Thanks, uploaded.

[Zathor]

2833 [Video Player] improved High DPI support
2832 [File Indexer] show DGIndexIM/NV only if enabled in the settings
[File Indexer] enabled "select audio tracks" for DGIndexIM/NV
2831 [Audio Encoder] x64: improved the downmix functions for 7.1/6.1 to 5.1
2830 reset view settings once to properly adjust for 2829
2829 improved High DPI support (e.g. when changing DPI values)
[HD Streams Extractor] removed the custom "+ Options" column by default and added an option to show it

I never noticed that dropdown, thanks!

I want to upgrade my PC to improve perf and encode speed from using meGUI, but I don't know what to chose, ryzen 7 1700 or i7 8700K.
Could someone help me?
Thank.

[Zathor]

As written there "DirectShowSource or AVISource" is not supported. So this file cannot be opened at all with DSS - maybe a splitter or filter is missing.

But you should really use one of the indexing options as DSS may not be frame accurate.

Thank you, I fixed it.
I forgot to setting splitter.

This i first time i see MeGUI get blocked by Malwarebytes Premium.

https://i.gyazo.com/6d5a386faf032aaae094592abb234275.png

I think its false positive.

[LigH]

Most probably. The "smarter" the anti-malware engine, the more suspicious. Already an update check may appear malicious then.

I find it entertaining that "suspicious" can have quite opposite meanings in English, whereas German has separate terms for them.

This happens sometimes sadly. I cannot do much. A file which doenloads other files is detected sometimes as a malicious program.

[LigH]

Malware experts even recommend not to trust 3rd-party security suites too much, because they are rather an additional attack vector, compared to Microsoft's own antivirus tools (e.g. exploiting previously secure connections insecurely to cloud services and opening unnecessary ports for company specific network services). With enough "common sense", it may even be safer to disable dedicated antivirus services and trust only your wit and the built-in firewall ... well, if you trust your wit. :o The fact that large companies still get compromised by "social malware" (email attachments with luring mail bodies) and ransomware (lacking OS updates due to "service contract" restrictions) prove that "common sense" is not common enough.

[kuchikirukia]

I haven't updated MeGUI in forever so I don't know if there's been a change to this, but is there a reason Abort doesn't just kill the x264 process? It's irritating when I'm encoding at 0.5fps and it locks the filename I want to use for 15 minutes until x264 finishes doing whatever it's doing unless I kill it in Task Manager.
Having the encoding stats logged is nice, but IMO that's not worth the interminable lag.

[Zetti]

Thanks for info Zathor and LigH

[LigH]

@kuchikirukia - do you use the x64 mode with avs4x26x bridge? I guess that MeGUI may stop the pipe bridge process, but that does not reliably stop the x264 encoder process as well?

[kuchikirukia]

@kuchikirukia - do you use the x64 mode with avs4x26x bridge? I guess that MeGUI may stop the pipe bridge process, but that does not reliably stop the x264 encoder process as well?

Yes. It doesn't stop x264 ever.
I'm guessing x264 queues up a bunch of frames (perhaps the lookahead number?) and it doesn't exit until it's done with those frames, because the lag certainly seems to be encoding-speed based.

[videoh]

I find it entertaining that "suspicious" can have quite opposite meanings in English Nah, that's false. What are these supposedly opposite meanings?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suspicious

[LigH]

a) I find some specific person (a suspect) or incident suspicious (ominous, fishy). Someone/something is "verdächtig", focus is on the subject.

b) I am quite suspicious (distrustful) on the average, possibly even without a specific reason. I am "argwöhnisch", focus is on myself.

Well, not opposite meanings, but opposite focus. If I said about myself being "verdächtig", I would be the suspect, I would e.g. be supposed to have commited a crime.

So, until further refinement, "I am suspicious" in English appears ambiguous to me, whereas in German, I am either "verdächtig" (blame on me) or "argwöhnisch" (blame on everything else), that's quite a difference.

I cannot change output path for the .lwi file anymore when I use File indexer, the opened window tries to open the lwi file instead of saving, is it normal?

[mini-moose]

I noticed in rev 2835 all the runtime dlls are dumped into the megui directory (close to 100 dlls). Is this intentional?

[Zathor]

"Only" 63 dlls :)
And yes, it is on purpose as MS is using a lot of files for the 2017 ones.

If anyone knows how to easily and reliable check if they are properly installed I do not have to do that.

OK :)

Could they possibly be dumped into a folder rather than to root?
