On Megui restarting after updating I get this:
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9726/megui.jpg
And then MeGUI crashes.

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

Same problem here. MeGui cannot start, crashes.
"Error loading File : job1.xml cannot be loaded"

EDIT: Deleting the job*.xml prior to launching fixed it.

I'll look into the issue with the apply button.

It's not just the apply button. When you enter total file size manually, the old version showed you the video bitrate. However, the updated version doesn't.

Thats the root of the problem. Only with a video bitrate the Apply button can be pressed (it doesn't make sense to apply a bitrate of 0)

Can someone with the "job could not be loaded" error send me such a file?

Problem with the calculator and DTS MA audio....reported in the thread referenced above.

Edit: Stand alone calculator, v.9 works fine. It's the Megui version that's the problem.

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.

Solved, works fine. Thx again

Hi

I am using dgindexnv 2007.

I am having several problems:

If a create a job to encode, and then close megui, and then open megui later to execute pending jobs, jobs do not start as cuvid server is not running. I have to start it manually
Autoencode fails: after selecting avs script, pressing autoencode nothing happens and later when trying to abort megui crashes
In avs creator, Analyse stream fails, nothing happens and megui crashes

I think these errors might come from the way magui handles cuvid server and dgindexnv, but I am not sure

Can not post log cause megui crashes

Thx

I fixed already the last two errors so that MeGUI wont crash and the job is moved/deleted. The first error is caused by the renaming of the indexer jobs (e.g. IndexJob --> D2VIndexJob). The job type needs to be translated on the fly.

Please try to disable the usage of the CUVIDServer in the MeGUI settings (you have to create the avs files again or edit them to use dgmultisource()).

I need to have a look at your first problem. The server should be started automatically.

while the bitrate calc is being looked at, any chance that defaults for container, audio type/bitrate, and target size could be saved. even better would be having the option to bypass the current bitrate calculator window completely and just have the chosen default selections automatically plugged into the video length to calculate encoder bitrate.

i'd be happy either way. :)

I have disabled CUVIDServer and all problems are gone, even my first one as I have disabled the use or need for cuvidserver.:thanks:. You are great.

By the way, I think this option should be disabled by default or even removed :helpful:

By the way, I think this option should be disabled by default or even removed :helpful: I agree that DGMultiSource() should be the default now. The new version DGDecNV 2008 coming in a few hours will have the Quick Start guide revised that way. CUVID server was created only because originally DGMultiSource() would not work with the pre-Zathor builds.

Zathor

25th May 2010, 11:25

I will switch it in the next build.

But it will be of course only switched for new installations because already existing settings will not be changed.

What is the point of the "Subtitles" input field in the Avisynth Script creator window, when it doesn't add them ?

In the script source window, there is

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\VSFilter.dll")
VobSub("S:\My DVDs\2012\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx")

But in the final encoding, there were no hardcoded subs at all ? :confused:

Use textsub.

25th May 2010, 19:47

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:

I am not able to reproduce. When I open the bitrate calculator, the video and audio details are filled in but the Total File Size says "Not calculated" and I must choose a size. Once I choose a size the apply button is active.

Can anyone else reproduce?

Betsy25

25th May 2010, 20:54

Use textsub.

Are you serious ? TextSub for .idx files ?

Anyway I have to revert to both Megui and StaxRip.

MeGUI which is able to extract the correct language streams while StaxRip can't.
Staxrip for doing the actual conversion because it is able to hardcode the .idx subs correctly while MeGUI can't....

26th May 2010, 02:39

load the sub, not the idx
VobSub("S:\My DVDs\2012\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.sub")

and with blurays, use suptitle
http://www.zachsaw.co.cc/?pg=suptitle_pgs_avisynth_plugin

example
SupTitle("F1_T8_Subtitle - English.sup")

Thanks, I cannot see the VobSub("") sequence in the StaxRip .avs, but it works, perhaps Zathor can fix the Avisynth Script Editor so that choosing subtitles to hardcode from it will select the .sub and not the .idx by default.

quantum5uicid3

26th May 2010, 06:09

loading the idx should work also, but maybe a version mismatch or something is occuring. the idx is a text only index file

Very strange.
I have no problem reproduce every time I try :(

For my sake, I hope someone else are able to reproduce :)

Hi:

I've tried to use oneclick for blurays movies. I have a main movie stream .m2ts as input file

When using oneclick megui tries to create a d2v file (idx, from 0000.m2ts to 0000.d2v), not a dgi file as when using file indexer, and then stops in error.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there an option to use oneclick fot HD streams?:confused:

Thanks!

Note: I have licensed neuron2 dgindexnv

I havent used MeGUI now some time and Upated today.

Now i have one strange thing...

I have a .TS File (h264 50 fps + ac3 file) 2 hrs 30 approx...

I used Neurons DGIndexNV (2009) to Index it.

Now the Big Problem:

When i start AVI Script Creator and load that DGI File .... a looooooooooooooooong Time nothing happens.

Up to 2-3 Minutes.

Then i can do all cropping/resizing things and save the AVS.

Then AGAIN i have to wait upto 3 minutes until MeGui becomes aviable again. After loading Audio and pressing "Auto Encode" ....

Same thinggy again... 2-3 minutes until i can choose my Bitrates.

Guess what? .... Continuing does same...2-3 Minutes until MeGui comes Aviable to start Cue.

Starting the Encode i have to wait 5 minutes until even the Status Window pops up... not speaking of again waiting then 5 minutes until it really starts encode. (pass 1).... I guess on Part 2 same thing.

Im Not sure if this is a fault of DGToolsNV or MeGui...
I remember that i got the same behaviour with an older Version of the DGToolsNV when using DGMultiSource.....

So what to do?

thank you for your great job, keeping megui alive, zathor!
a long time i didn't open the bitrate calculator, but today i have to say, it's very well thought out logically! if i want to encode multiple streams for a blu ray, i have to use a tiny exel sheet to set the same video bitrate for all streams. but this sheet doesn't calculate very accurate (m2ts overhead is complicated to calculate for me). maybe you could extend megui's bitrate calculator for multiple video streams, if it is possible and less complicated.

0.3.4.15
- DGIndexNV will use DGMultiSource instead of DGSource as default setting
- [JobControl] fixed a crash if an unknown job type is used
- [JobControl] old D2V and DGI jobs will be updated
- [BitrateCalculator] add 1½ DVD target size and adjust others to safe values.
Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)
- [BitrateCalculator] fix calculation accuracy by total file size and by BPP to account for
constant video overhead. Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)
- [BitrateCalculator] simplify audio bitrate inspection to assume bitrate from video duration
and audio file size. Patch by JarrettV (#2999751)

I had to downgrade to 0.3.4.14, with this version MeGUI doesn't open anymore, stays loaded in memory and shows the icon on the taskbar. I tried to click on the icon but nothing shows up... Tried a full reinstall without success, the only thing that "solved" was downloading the 0.3.4.14 .exe file.

Please try to delete the user.config file. I assume that the window location is somehow wrong. You can find the file in the user profile (e.g. for W7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\www.doom9.net)

I got a new HTC EVO on friday. I am trying to put together some HD video files it can play. It has HDMI output for 720p video and a 720p camcorder built in.

Very little is known about the internal capabilities but looking at an output file from the camcorder, it creates files with extension 3GP and mediainfo reports the video codec as mpeg-4 3GPP.

Is it possible to create such files with MeGUI? If not, can someone recommend a tool that can?

The matching ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll Version 0.85.5.452 seems to be missing from the 0.3.4.15 development.zip.
Trying an older version of this dll results in the same error.
Where can I get this dll if I intend to make a virgin setup from the development package ?

--profile and --level should remain a part of basic x264 settings.

and i think evo 4g supports h264 video, level 3.1, ref 3, and profile baseline and aac audio in a mp4 container.

edit
i'd like to add too that i think the new complexity slider is a waste of space, because asking a novice to judge the complexity of a video is inherently flawed. just saving previous settings or a slider for selecting crf values would be much more worthwhile additions imho. basically i just find it to be more confusing then helpful. running a --crf ? --pass 1 --slow-firstpass...outputting to a file and saving the stats is the better way to judge compressability and dealing with the occasional unwelcome result of a crf encode.

edit2 to make it more clear.

if target filesize after first pass is greater than or less than specified values, automatically run the 2nd pass adjusting the bitrate and overwriting the previous file.

Thanks quantum5uicid3! Tried and those setting worked PERFECTLY the first try. WOOT!

Now I cannot wait to get the hdmi cable for this phone. Amazing for a pda/phone.

Next question, is there a way to extract tracks from an mp4 in meGUI? eac3to does not handle extraction from mp4 so the hd stream extractor does not work on mp4s. mp4box can do it from a command line, just did not see a way inside meGUI to do it. If its not there, any chance it could be added?

:thanks:
