MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Zathor]

@Zathor
The log is too big to put in a single post so i have uploaded it to mediafire.

http://www.mediafire.com/?wgjz0ajayid

Thanks. I have tried to reproduce it but I failed. Can you reproduce it?

Can you please explain what you have done? I tried to index to DVDs (same VOB name), did an autoencode on both of them and then started the two workers.

[AMED]

1. Make sure there is a worker 1 and worker 2 setup.

2. Index first video and make changes with avisynth editor (crop, denoise, auto deinterlace) click save.

# Set DAR in encoder to 43 : 23. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 43
global MeGUI_dary = 23
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\MainMovie\ONE_MISSED_CALL_SCN\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=1)
crop( 8, 84, -8, -80)

#resize
super = MSuper(pel=2, sharp=2)
backward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400)

3. Click AutoEncode, click Queue.

4. Index second video and make changes with avisynth editor (crop, denoise, auto deinterlace) click save.

# Set DAR in encoder to 4 : 3. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 4
global MeGUI_dary = 3
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\MainMovie\THE_GHOST\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=1)
crop( 8, 2, -10, -2)

Spline36Resize(704,576) # Spline36 (Neutral)
super = MSuper(pel=2, sharp=2)
backward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400)

5. On the Queue tab, click start.

6. If you look at the screenshot below, it seems to mess up the audio encoding as well. both were encoded with the same nero aac settings (keep channels and vbr 0.40) but yet job 2 is 18.6MB and completely slient, job 6 is 194MB and the audio is fine. another thing i noticed was when job 2 had finished encoding it would not start the next job until job 6 had also finished.

7. Then both workers started processing job 3 at the same time.

Thanks for the detailed report. I have been able to reproduce the problem with more than one worker working on a job and fix will be in the next build.
The audio file has been ok for me.

Question regarding DGIndexNV. This is my first go-around with using MeGUI for Blu-Ray, so be patient. :)

I'm using DGINdexNV to create the project files. When I then go into the AVISynth Script Creator and hit Analyze, I get an error dialog that says, "Failed to create video decoder (100)" and, at this point, MeGUI becomes unresponsive. If I skip the analysis step, everything seems OK.

Is this just not supported, or have I got a problem on my system?

I'm doing a VC-1 source (Star Trek: TOS). I manually used eac3to to figure out which stream files comprise which episode, then manually use DGIndexNV to add all of the appropriate stream files and create the project.

Do you have the CUVID (http://neuron2.net/dgdecnv/dgdecnv.html) server running?

With newest Update-Server version, I cannot encode any video stream at all:

Hi Zathor,

I've found a way to reproduce the Audio bug that i mentioned earlier.

Here are the steps :)

1. Download THIS (http://www.mediafire.com/?kidjazjdan4) 2 channel AC3 that i borrowed from MASH :)

2. Create 2 copies of the downloaded AC3, call one TEST1.ac3 and the other TEST2.ac3.

3. Make sure there is a worker 1 and worker 2 setup.

4. Change the Nero AAC scratchpad to this, press update and close.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2qnb3i1.png

5. Load TEST1.ac3 in to the audio track 1 in MeGUI and click enqueue.

6. Load TEST2.ac3 in to the audio track 1 in MeGUI and click enqueue.

7. Click on Queue tab and click start.

run these jobs multiple times and inspect the output sizes of the mp4s created,
Run 1:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.63MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.12MB.
Run 2:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.64MB, TEST2.mp4 = 100KB.
Run 3:
TEST1.mp4 = 100KB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.19MB.
Run 4:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.63MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.13MB.

And the LOG (http://www.mediafire.com/?mmjylmqktnt)

EDIT: OK found the problem, it's normalize() in the AVISynth script. If you disable normalize peaks to ... in the nero AAC encoding config dialog the output files are the exact same size.

without normalize enabled.
TEST1.mp4 = 1.51MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.51MB.

[Zathor]

But even when normalize is disabled there are sometimes glitches. I have changed it a few days ago so that only one audio job can be run at a given time:
http://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/megui?view=rev&revision=1602

Hi,
I just auto-updated a couple days ago and now anytime I try and add a denoise filter I get errors. It took me some time to see what was happening, but for some reason the AVS Script is getting corrupted somehow.

My source is mpeg2 and is indexed with DGCreator first before opening AVS Acript Creator. After that I can use any other options fine but if I add the noise filter at any level and select "Preview AVS Script", I get multiple errors.

The default AVS Script before selecting any options looks like this:

#denoiseLoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VIDEO CACHE\[Test Clips]\Source\I_Opening.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

I can already see that something looks awry with #denoise at the very top. When I actually load a denoise filter it changes to this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium NoiseLoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VIDEO CACHE\[Test Clips]\Source\I_Opening.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium Noise

If I reformat the script by hand it seems to work ok, but I figure it's something wrong on my end as I can't find anything anywhere on anyone else having the same problem. Am I doing something wrong, or have a corrupt file somewhere? I'd really like to get this working properly again and hope I'm not missing something obvious.

The first error that appears doesn't show in the log but states:
"AviSynth script error:
Script Error: Invalid arguments to function "FluxSmoothST""

After clicking OK, the following error appears and shows up in the log:
"MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason. Parameter is not valid."

Here is the relevant portion of the log:

Help me

I have an error when process MKV to AVI XviD, the strange thing is that the error only occurs in at 86.69% 2pass
The error is due to Xvid_encraw.exe, the problem persists, reinstall it and update the Megui, xvid_encraw.exe was downloaded, and yet the problem continues ...
Please I need your help, and not to do ... and I often use the Megui.

Here a screenshot of the error

Thank you very much

[Guest]

@Natsu!

Where did you get the MKV file?

[Natsu!]

is a RAW chapter of an anime series...

edit:

here screenshot error...

[Guest]

@Natsu!

I asked where you got the file. If you don't answer, you'll get a rule 6 strike.

[Natsu!]

From here take the MKV...

link removed per rule 6

[AlekseiV]

Zathor, would it be possible to have an option for the FFMSIndex to also create the audio index? Right now I would have to index it through MeGUI (without loading files), then manually add FFAudioSource() above FFVideoSource(), then open the .avs. Doing otherwise causes two indexing passes which can take some time on large videos.

[Guest]

@Natsu!

You may not discuss downloaded material here, per forum rule 6. Please read and follow our forum rules.

I do not have this kind of problem and cannot reproduce it. Can you please install MeGUI to a different location, let it update and try it again? This way you will get a clean installation.

[HertZ]

Since the last update of mediainfo in megui, file indexing take so much time (more than 20 minutes to start the process)

[Zathor]

Since the last update of mediainfo in megui, file indexing take so much time (more than 20 minutes to start the process)

Please post more details e.g. which files do you index. In order to verify that mediainfo is the problem you can close megui, extract these old mediainfo files in the megui dir (http://megui.org/auto/mediainfo_0_7_32.zip) and index the file again.

@ Zathor:
There is a new mediainfo available (ver.0.7.33).

[Zathor]

I have published 0.7.33 yesterday and shortly after that HertZ posted about the mediainfo problem with (I assume) 0.7.33. Therefore I have posted a link to the oder release in order to verify the problem.:)

[Taurus]

Aah sorry, I did not update yesterday :p
HertZ should have told us what kind of a file he was indexing.
I just did a small test on different files with old and new version.
Only DV avi seems to be a little slower with the new version.
Tested avi, mov, flv, mkv, mp4, divx, xvid, mpeg2 via dgindex,wmv....
Different containers and raw streams, with and without sound.
All were short samples about 5 minutes duration
Only DV avi is lagging a bit, could be because of heavy coding in the background on a DV avi file.

[HertZ]

operates again with all mediainfo 0. 7.32, the problem was with a h264 m2ts bluray.

[Zathor]

operates again with all mediainfo 0. 7.32, the problem was with a h264 m2ts bluray.

Can you please post the mediainfo of the file and which indexer you used or which action had been using 20 minutes.

[HertZ]

zathor I have tested with three different titles bluray, I doubt that is specific under bluray.
Final indexer used was DGIndexNV or DGIndex/DGAVIndex (same result for both), so while selecting the .264 file (extracted from the m2ts), MeGUI DGIProject Creator window open, and it took 20 minutes to get the dgi Project output file name

[Taurus]

So it is not mediainfo, it's on the DG indexer stage:devil:.
You are confusing me...
If you load the index file to the AVS Script Creator, there is no delay?

[Renzz]

I have an issue as well with the new mediainfo - if I try and open an elementary mpeg2 stream (m2v) in the file indexer, it just hangs (ie it never opens it, or it may take considerably longer than before - I didn't wait to see). I've reverted back to the previous mediainfo and it's working ok again.

[Zathor]

Can someone with the problem please upload a short sample and describe in detail how to reproduce the problem? And maybe post your OS.
I tried many different files and for me it is working (Win7 x64, 32bit MeGUI).

[Zathor]

Finally I could see the problem myself with an .264 file. I have stopped the update of mediainfo - hopefully 0.7.34 fixes the problem.

Was working yesterday then I couldn't find plug-ins for avisynth so the hunt was on, I saw that Gordianknot had some avisynth plug-ins so I installed it then grabbed those plug-ins and transfered them to the avisynth folder to call them in my script.

Didn't even get around to it, I load up MeGui, go to index my .vob file add to queue, launch queue, frozen crash.
Un-installed Gordianknot thinking that's the only thing I installed must have ruined MeGui, uninstall MeGui just in-case for a fresh install, restart, install MeGui, no added plugs, test file again, Crash.

Here is the log attached.
6GB DDR3 incase you need that info.

EDIT:
To note I just restored my pc to yesterday and all seems fine, I had also installed the new K-Lite Codec Pack 5.9.0 so something between Gordianknot and K-Lite went wrong I will not reinstall either now knowing it will corrupt my MeGui.

So you have ffdshow intalled no? from here http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ . Avisynth filters here is one link http://avisynth.org/warpenterprises/ there are many other filters and scripts here as well :)

[STC-Fan]

EDIT: Thanks zathor - I didn't realise the SF pages were active. Feature requests have been added for both items.

In a future build of MeGUI, would it be possible to add in a "Preview AVS Script" button at the bottom of the "Current position" video preview window? I know it sounds strange to duplicate this button when it's already on the Avisynth script creator window, but it would benefit me, and possibly others, as I am currently carrying out manual frame-by-frame correction of a lot of frames in a video.

The (interlaced) video in question has fields shifted vertically in some frames, but not all. There is no filter to automatically correct this through frame analysis (that I am aware of); the only option is to use an old VirtualDub filter called FieldShift, which tries to correct all frames in a video by default. Therefore, I have to import the VDub filter into my AVS script and use the ScriptClip and ConditionalReader functions to import a text file containing the frame numbers that need correction.

At the moment, I have to switch between VirtualDub (to scan through the video - the preview function in MeGUI doesn't update smoothly when scanning forwards, so I'd miss broken frames), then EditPad (with the list of frames to fix, and the correction value to apply), then the MeGUI script preview window (to hit the "Preview AVS script" button), and then finally the MeGUI video preview window (to see if my correction was OK).

I have asked about the problem with the video itself (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153158) previously, however the ScriptClip + ConditionalReader solution was the best available. And apart from the time spent on this, it's also rather annoying having to do wasteful colour space conversion for one VDub filter (as no Avisynth equivalent exists), which then impacts on the final encoding time (OK, I am splitting hairs a bit here, it's only around 2-3 fps).

So I guess what I am asking for is:

1) The ability to smoothly move forwards through the video (allowing me to ditch VDub for the same purpose)

2) A "Preview AVS script" button added to the video preview window (so I don't have to jump to the Avisynth script creator window and press it)

Hi Zathor,

I get an error in the muxing phase when muxing .h264 into container .m2ts.

@STC-Fan: Please post your feature request at the SourceForge page.

@Betsy25: I tried to reproduce it but failed. Which MeGUI version are you using? Please disable in the settings the deletion of intermediate files and post the content of the .meta file in the output directory.

[Zathor]

At a first glance the .meta files look ok. Can you please add the three files to the tsmuxergui and compare these settings to the posted ones? Is it possible to mux your files with the tsmuxergui?

@Zathor,

Sorry for late reply.

I tried adding the 3 files to the tsmuxergui directly, and that works just fine. About those settings, do I have to post the newly created .meta file when I do the above ?

[simonb1975uk]

Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong forum but does anyone have any tips on transcoding the blu-ray of Sherlock Holmes (2009 version) using MeGui? I have dgindexNV.

[simonb1975uk]

Ah so sorry I found out how to do it. Sorry again if I posted in the wrong forum

Thanks for the hint. The mediainfowrapper.dll needs to be replaced. I had already distributed this dll with the mediainfo 0.7.33 package but forgot that I had revoked it because of problems with the mediainfo.dll. I distribute now a package with the new wrapper and the old dll. This sould fix the problem - please report back.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this, I guess we wrote it simultaneously :)
Will the new .dll be available via the Auto Updater (http://megui.org/auto)?

Thanks.

It's already online since my posting above :)

[cybersharky]

On Megui restarting after updating I get this:

And then MeGUI crashes.

If I delete all the xml files in jobs, the error goes away.

Yeah, I noticed that just a little too late :)

But another problem has occured, this time with the Bitrate Calculator.
I'm not able to press the Apply button in there.

I have ran the File Indexer, processed the Queue, and created a d2v-script.
So now, in the MeGui, both the Video and the Audio fields are filled out.
And when I enter the Bitrate calculator and select output size (both audio and video info seems to be filled out here too), but the Apply button remains greyed out. Here's a picture:

http://gaasdal.net/brc.jpg

Am I missing something in the new version?
This used to be very straight forward in earlier versions.

Thanks again.
