MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Sharktooth]

sorry, i havent been at home since some time and i dont have the credentials to log in into the auto-update FTP server with me.
the updated tools sould be DGNV tools, x264 and mediainfo lib.

[Betsy25]

Zathor, have you taken a step backwards from MeGui, or could we still expect some of your brilliant work to MeGui in the future ?:)

Thanks for not replying, it's the best way to express the truth.
I hope MeGUI will not fall back in the buggy mess it once was.

I hope MeGUI will not fall back in the buggy mess it once was. He said "I have not much time at the moment". What do you want, a personal telegram?

Your impertinence is shameful.

i must have missed that version. :)

megui has been awesome for years. the problems of 1057 were really blown out of proportion, it was 100% usable with some awareness of the commandline even with latest x264.

thank you zathor, shartooth, kurtnoise, and all!

[Zathor]

0.3.5.7
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Fix default CRF value when changing from bitrate mode to CRF. Adjusted default bitrate to 1000
- (zathor) [FileIndexer] improved handling if DGIndexNV is not available
- (zathor) [MkvMergeMuxer] header compression is disabled for all tracks
- (zathor) [MainForm] slightly tweaked file\open

[gahz]

don't know if this was mentioned anywhere else.

i can get megui to reliably crash by unchecking "open preview after avisynth script selection". it will crash either as soon as i load an avs file or as soon as i click on the enque button. hope this helps.

my script if it matters:
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\megui\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll")
dgsource("D:\tmp\12.dgi")

My MeGUI doesn't crash after unchecking "open preview after avisynth script selection" and loading an avs file/enqueue, but my script is different though.

Thanks for the report. As it seems to be no general problem please describe the crash in more detail (e.g. post a screenshot or the log if possible)

[GmorG McRoth]

It seems that custom profile: vbvsize, vbvmax, vbvpeak values are not loaded properly in "XviD configuration dialog". Upon loading the preset, they always come as zeros. Values are properly saved in xml preset file, and they are properly applied when preset is chosen without entering configuration dialog.

[Cloudstrifeff7]

There is a bug with autoupdate. In http://megui.org/auto/ there is x264_presets_v52.zip, but with autoupdate Megui see only x264_presets_v51.zip.

[gahz]

here's the screenshot:

happens everytime unless i load the preview. were you asking what steps i take to have it crash?

I am guessing this is related to what you mentioned as well.

Exactly. :) In "latest version" there is 5.1.

[Zathor]

5.2 back in action :thanks:

[mariush]

btw... something trivial... maybe you can do an [(filecount!=1) ? ' are ' : ' is ' ] + ' ' + [ (filecount ==0 ) ? 'no' : filecount.toString() ] + ' file' + [ ( filecount !=1 ) ? 's' : '' ] sort of thing

It's just visual but it should also be very easy to implement

[Cloudstrifeff7]

5.2 back in action :thanks:

:thanks:

[gahz]

sorry to bother you zathor, just wanted to inform on newer findings.

the crash that i reported a few posts back seems to only happen on my desktop and not my laptop.

i have all codecs and what not configured the same so i guess i'll just blame diff hardware.

i do know that it happens when i use dgindexnv in my script. could it be because of diff vid cards? one uses a gtx285 and the other a gtx260m

[tebasuna51]

Warning with MkvToolNix 4.1.0

Eac3to don't support tracks with "header removal compression" and HD Stream Extractor don't work with these tracks. Tested at least with dts tracks.

Please add eac3to v3.24 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1426354#post1426354) to solve the problem after MkvToolNix 4.1.0

Thanks.

[Sharktooth]

done.

Do you use the same graphics driver on both machines? Can you open the avs file with other tools like VirtualDub?

Are you using the latest build of DGIndexNV (2024) and are you able to index your file using the MeGUI\tools\dgindexnv\DGIndexNV.exe without problems?

[Cloudstrifeff7]

When I extract file ogg from mkv with HD Stream Extractor, the tool don't work.

have you tried with mkvextract?

[Sharktooth]

ffms2 updated to rev 325 (dev build).
please test.

[gahz]

just wanted to report that i have fixed that wierd crash i was getting. the cause, at least in my case, was nvidia 258.96 drivers using the script i posted earlier. if i used a script that the megui avs script creator spits out i get no crashes but i wont go this route because i like neuron's tools so much. so the only solution i came up with was to rollback my nvidia drivers to the one that win7 update recommends and voila problem fixed no more crashes.

[AMED]

ffms2 updated to rev 325 (dev build).
please test.I've had a test and there seems to be a problem with the reported frame rate.

v3.25 reports 23.9091908091908 FPS
v3.18 reports 23.976 FPS (which is correct)

best to rollback to v3.18

[Sharktooth]

3.18 has problems with mkv files with header compression.
so, dont know what's better...
however, i'll update ffms as soon as it gets fixed.

[MOS-Marauder]

Please add eac3to v3.24 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1426354#post1426354) to solve the problem after MkvToolNix 4.1.0

Thanks.


Is it also possible to change MKV mux options so that this Header Compression is set to NONE on muxing ?

--compression -1:none


Chris

[nurbs]

MeGUI does that already.

[MOS-Marauder]

MeGUI does that already.


Im sorry.. found it in the rls notes :(

- (zathor) [MkvMergeMuxer] header compression is disabled for all tracks


Chris

[Sharktooth]

header compression will be re-enabled when the majority of devices will support it.
however, with the new tools updates, megui now supports MKVs with header compression as input.

[Sharktooth]

@WorBry: sorry for the delay. i've added you suggested values in Force SAR dropdown. They will be there in the next build.

[mastrboy]

Any way we could get an option/check-box to use FFaudiosource instead of Nicaudio?

I sometimes get an error using built in MeGUI audio encode functions:

If i manually create a .avs script using FFAudiosource there is no problem:

FFAudioSource("C:\Users\mastrboy\Desktop\03.ac3")
Normalize()

[Sharktooth]

please post your request in the feature request tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798479
ffaudiosource is very interesting indeed...

[mastrboy]

Request added to tracker: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3053195&group_id=156112&atid=798479

[Dal]

Hello again.

I have 2 questions:
- I just bought DGIndexNV, but now, when using File Indexer, it is not possible to Select Tracks anymore, just No Audio, or All Tracks. Is this a bug, or design? It is a nice feature I would like to see continued.
- In the past, in the Bitrate Calculator, when I made my own file sizes, they would stay there. But now, no custom made file sizes are "staying", so I have to keep entering the numbers every time. Bug or design? This too is a feature I would very much like to have continued.

Thanks again.

[RyaNJ]

I've just hit an issue - running the bitrate calculator for a nero-acc audio file I just encoded causes an "index out of bounds" error. The audio file plays no problem. Any idea why this is or if there is a fix?

[Betsy25]

I just would like to ask if this "stable" branch is ever going to get updated, or are users advised to switch over to the development branch and forget about the stable one ?

[Zathor]

A new stable build will be released every once in a while as soon as a development build is declared "stable". There are no timeframes for such a release - there may be months between stable builds or days. If you want to have the newest tools / functions and want to help us in reporting problems / feedback, then switch to the development part.

[Betsy25]

Thanks for replying Zathor,

I was of the idea that Sharktooth had taken over all work on MeGUI and the development branch was the only branch that would still get updated.:)

[Sharktooth]

uh?!??!?!? no way... i could never do that...

[Carpo]

there's $50 in it for you if you do ;)

[Zathor]

there's $50 in it for you if you do ;)

You want to pay so that I stop being one of the MeGUI developers. Out of sheer curiosity - why?

[Betsy25]

I don't think he meant it that way Zathor.:cool:
Your contributions are magnificent !

[Carpo]

You want to pay so that I stop being one of the MeGUI developers. Out of sheer curiosity - why?

You misunderstood - guess its just my warped little mind ;-) was just wondering if sharktooth could be bribed ;)

[Sharktooth]

only for *put some 6 or more digit number here* euros... :p

[WorBry]

@WorBry: sorry for the delay. i've added you suggested values in Force SAR dropdown. They will be there in the next build.

No problem :) It was just a suggestion for folks who want custom SAR values. The 'standard' preset values meet my needs.

[Sharktooth]

rev 1704: [MainForm.cs] Added a big fat warning about patents and binary files when megui finds updates

The messagebox will show this: "There are updated files available that may be necessary to MeGUI to work correctly. Some of them are binary files subject to patents, so they could be in violation of your local laws if you live in US, Japan and some countries in Europe. MeGUI will let you choose what files to update but please check your local laws about patents before proceding. By clicking on the 'Yes' button you declare you have read this warning. Do you wish to proceed reviewing the updates?"

[Knuffi]

Which files are the one you aim on?

[Sharktooth]

dgindex, ffmpeg (and all derivates, including mplayer/mencoder, ffms2, dgavcindex, eac3to), faac, lame, nicaudio, x264 and xvid.
hope i didnt forget anything.
