MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[poisondeathray]

I have downloaded this build from scratch. Everything seems to go fine except I can not create a dv2 file. It starts to make the file but hangs. The log does not give an error as I end the abort the process myself. I am obviously missing something simple but can not figure it out. I ran the dv2 creator from the folder not using Megui and had the same problem.


what happens when you use standalone dgindex (not from megui) ?

are you sure you have a mpeg2 file?

[rkalwaitis]

Ill download the standalone dgindex a new an not use the one from megui and let you know what happens.

[rkalwaitis]

I downloaded version 1.5.7 and it hung again. I tried another source and they hang as well.

[poisondeathray]

rkalwaitis - what does mediainfo say about your source files?

what are they/where are they from? is it possible they are corrupted?

[rkalwaitis]

Streamtype MPEG2Program
profile main@main
Frame Size 720x480
Display Size (not specified)
aspect Ration 16:9 (3)
Frame Rate 29.970030
Video Type Film 99.99%
Vob Cell ID 1 3.

The files are from my original DVD ripped with DVDdecrypter, they are VOB files. Im almost positive that its not a problem with Neuron's App or Megui. I have another computer and these applications work fine on it. This is a newer computer and its giving me no love. That is why I feel as if Im missing something that I should of loaded. But for the love of me, I can't figure it out. As for being corrupted, I suppose anything is possible :) Ill redo them and try another source.

[poisondeathray]

is that the correct frame size? 729x480? or is that a typo?

my guess would be it's not decrypted properly

try dvdfabhd decrypter (or dvd fab, or anydvd)

[rkalwaitis]

Typo--okay Ill try another ripper from your suggestions and see what happens.

[rkalwaitis]

I guess your guess is spot on, as it worked after having tried again. Strange...

I get this error when I make d2v file through meGUI, the error start after meGUI create the d2v file and prepare it for next step croping > resize and so on...

http://i49.tinypic.com/14uwbxf.png

Installed everything fresh, no help as well.

I have tried to make the d2v through separate DGIndex, everything goes normal.

[poisondeathray]

kool - you have to make an .avs script

eg.
MPEG2Source("VTS_02_2.d2v")

MeGUI has an .avs script creator in the tools menu, try plugging the .d2v into that

[kool]

Can't load as well, getting the exact same error. Tried to open the d2v with AvsP and that gives me this error.

http://i47.tinypic.com/11k8ar5.png

[poisondeathray]

did you follow the instructions (i.e. check avisynth version, clean out plugins)

[kool]

Yes I tried as you said from meGUI > Tools > AVS Creator that also can't load the d2v. This start happen to me from yesterday, I tried to install all fresh, remove the old plugin directory and all, but that also doesn't help. Everything was all fine till yesterday, suddenly all this start to happen.

Edit:
OS is Win7 U 64-bit. Using 32-bit Avisynth and avisynth.dll is in SysWOW64 folder.

[quantum5uicid3]

1. (re)install ffdshow-tryouts
2. configure it to handle raw YV12 "Raw Video"
3. (re)install avisynth
4. make sure avs file plays back in mpc-hc

and i guess maybe
5. force reinstall dgindex through the megui updater

[kool]

Well actually I (re)install every single thing, ffdshow,haali,mpc-hc,avisynth and megui. I enabled the raw video section in ffdshow to (all supported) I have installed the separate DGIndex, and I can make d2v with success but I can't make .avs file through megui nor avsp, both throw me error as I post them few post above.

[quantum5uicid3]

can you play the d2v with a simple avs through mpc-hc though?

[kool]

No, can't play that as well.

[Nightshiver]

I had a problem similar to yours, and it was because of a "broken" .avsi script that I had in my plugins. By removing it, everything worked fine. Have you tried completely emptying your plug-ins folder except for what's needed to just see the video in AvsP?

[kool]

Well after trying few things which doesn't work, I come to re-install the Win, lets hope everything works now.

If someone wants to test the newer x264 builds you can replace the x264.exe and x264_64.exe with newer builds. If using nal-hrd you have to add e.g. --nal-hrd vbr to the custom command line.

So you don't need to replace the vfw4x264.exe or avs4x264.exe files?

No, just x264.exe or x264_64.exe whichever you use.

oh whats this...

??? :confused:

[quantum5uicid3]

old preset, new x264. add "vbr" behind --nalhrd. syntax changed.

"--nal-hrd vbr" in the custom command line

[Zephyr_Truesdale]

In my post for "MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting" #5283, Windows 7 Users have to install "Windows 7: Preferred Tweaker for Windows 7" as it would seem that the pre-installed codecs won't work with MeGUI as I've had trouble as some of my other friends had. There was this guide I saw a while back that mentioned it.

[J_Darnley]

You have an error on your command line which is causing "strict" to be interpreted as an input file. Alternatively, your x264 is too old and doesn't understand --b-pyramid strict. Try posting the entire line.

hy mate!

thx, now it works :):thanks::thanks:

[Barough]

This '--nal-hrd vbr' switch, what does it actually do for/on an encode. Looked around but i haven't found out what it does.

[Zathor]

This '--nal-hrd vbr' switch, what does it actually do for/on an encode. Looked around but i haven't found out what it does.

From the x264 help:
--nal-hrd <string> Signal HRD information (needed e.g. for Blu-Ray compliance)
- vbr, cbr. (requires vbv-bufsize; cbr not allowed in .mp4)

I am getting two errors:

1) When I am trying to update I get a message "Could not load file or assembly 'ICSharpcode.SharZipLib, version=9.85.5.452, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken= 1b03e6acfll164f73'.

2) When I try load an avs script, which works fine in AvsP and VirtualDub, I get an error "unable to load Avisynthwrapper.dll". The dll is already on avisynth's plug-in directory.

What can I do to solve both problems?

[Zathor]

The dlls and megui are out of sync. Download this file and extract it to your megui folder: http://megui.org/auto/megui-libs_0_3_5.zip. Restart megui and let it update itself.

I followed these instructions but when I restarted MEGUI, it did not prompt me for an update. And, when I attempted a forced reinstall on core 0.3.4.0, it throws the following error:

"MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Could not load or assembly 'ISharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=0.85.4.369, Culture=neutral,PublickKeyToken=1b03e6acf1164f73' or one of its dependencies.

Thanks.

If you switch back to the stable version you will receive this error. You have to stay with the dev version. I will (try to) fix it with the next dev release. As a fast solution you have to replace megui.exe with this one http://megui.org/auto/megui-core_0_3_4_4.zip and the dlls with the link provided above.

Okay. Thanks Zathor! Keep up the great work.

I'm wondering if there was any chance of adding support for FFmpegSource and it's indexing in to MeGUI?

[Zathor]

I'm wondering if there was any chance of adding support for FFmpegSource and it's indexing in to MeGUI?

There is always a chance :)
To be honest I have thought about this topic because of some problems I am facing in the last days during my encodes. But I am unsure how to implement this. There are several possibilities like to add this as a third indexer in the dg creator window or to add it in the avisynth creator. And the question is should it be the default for all file types, only for some file types (which one) or only a selectable option? Any thoughts are welcome!

[quantum5uicid3]

to keep it simple i would just make an "ffindex creator" interface in the tools menu and then just have avs creator do a check for the presence of the index when it opens the source file, if present have it automatically use FFmpegSource2 or ask.

addition
make it easy to index multiple files in different directories though

[Cisco7]

Hello evereybody, do you think MeGUI will support Theora in the near future ? Would be awesome for HTML5 video.

[Zathor]

First strike - please report bugs, problems or enhancements :thanks:

0.3.4.5
- [MainForm] renamed "DG Creator" to "File Indexer"
- added FFMS (FFmpegSource2) to the file indexer

Second strike...
0.3.4.6
- [AviSynthWindow] FFVideoSource will be used automatically if a corresponding ffindex file exists
- [MeGUISettings] fixed ffms file not found problem

[Alex_080]

can i encode a video file with two audio track ??

[AMED]

I've just given v0.3.4.6 with FFMSIndex a try, it indexed and opened fine in the AviSynth script creator.

I also like how you have hard set the dir for FFMSIndex, wouldn't this be a good idea to do this for the other indexers as well or could there be an option for the default output dir in the settings to be ignored for indexing?

I noticed some else that's not related to FFMS.

When you run the updater and it for some reason you press cancel, especially if its the core your updating. It will try and install the half downloaded .zip and bork MeGUI. Would there be some way if a user presses cancel while it is downloading a update it would automatically delete the incomplete .zip from the \update_cache\ dir.

[AMED]

can i encode a video file with two audio track ??right click beside the track 1 tab in the audio bit and add a track.

Would there be some way if a user presses cancel while it is downloading a update it would automatically delete the incomplete .zip from the \update_cache\ dir.

The easiest way (in my opinion) to do this is to just download to something like filename.zip.temp and then rename to filename.zip when it completes. That should prevent you from getting a partial file even if your system crashes during the download.

[AMED]

Yup that seems a more logical method, hopefully its not too hard to implement.
