MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Floatingshed]

Can any one help with this...
I've been creating .mp4 files with megui containing 1x264 stream and 1xaac stream using autoencode. For weeks all has been well.
Suddenly I find that when I play the mp4's all players report twice the actual duration. Demuxing and remuxing with YAMB fixes this fine.
I'm a bit baffled as megui and yamb both use mp4box to mux. Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks.

2006 [MKV Muxer] added support for wav input files. Feature request #3253221
2005 [x264] added option for interlaced modes --tff and --bff. --interlaced has been removed. Bug #3204337
2004 [Audio Encoder] added option to choose the preferred decoder. Feature request #3053195
in case the preferred decoder cannot decode the input file the others will be tried, too
default order: NicAudio, FFAudioSource, DirectShow
2003 [One-Click] some profile adjustments

[Lighto]

There is a GUI bug with the NeroAAC config dialog.
The default constant bit rate value is always at 16 kbit/s until the user selects the constant bit rate radio button or the variable bit rate radio button.

Hi there...

I am using the latest development version of meGUI (2006). It crashes when I'm trying to load a .dgi file (properly indexed with activated & licensed DGAVCDecDI & DiAVC). Same script working fine when I am loading it on AvsP. The source is HD .h264.

There is no any problem with FFMS2 indexed and .dga files. Also it works fine with Directshowsource). Is it problem of newest meGUI? Unfortunately, I don't tried with previous version of meGUI. Can't compare. If no, I'll search at neuron2.net.

Thanx in advance...

Isn't .dgi strictly for use with DGDecodeNV and Nvidia Cuda cards?

[doc_dvxm]

DGDecodeNV requires NVIDIA Cuda cards. DGAVCDecDI is for all others...


Btw reinstalling of meGUI resolve the problem....

Megui, Misc tab, under V.U.I. there is a box checked for "Force pic_struct" for all the Blu-ray presets.

Is this the same effect as the command line --pic-struct ?

[Zathor]

Only two minor fixes:
2008 [Worker] fixed "shut down worker when finished local queue"
some cosmetics
2007 [Nero AAC Encoder] fixed cosmetic problem with wrong bitrate values in the configuration dialog. Bug #3286672

I am pretty sure the command line --pic-struct is added when "Force pic_struct" is checked.

No, it's not visible in the command line, that's what prompted me to ask.

You know, it's funny Lighto, I read that in the MeWiki but didn't interpret that "implied" meant "turned on".

Thanks for the clarification!

[doc_dvxm]

My problem with DGAVCDecDI still persist.

Sometimes MeGUI opens properly (I don't know why ??? ), but usually going to crash...

I've switched to the stable server and it update to 1939 (svn), but the result was same. Just like the 2008 (svn) update...

Btw, When I am using same script from the x264 commandline, it working properly...

Now I'm sure that it is a MeGUI problem... Or it is MeGUI - DGDAVCDecodeDI incompatibility ???

What's wrong??

[rtjnyoface]

After a couple times (or maybe a certain time frame) of opening explorer to find files, for instance a d2v file in a folder, megui freezes and I have to delete the process and restart it to continue the work. It only recently started happening after I updated from 1998 if I remember correctly. I've seen that it may be due to ffms but that thread I read was like a year ago. Anyone know what might be the issue, had seen the issue, or know if its' one currently being rectified?

Could you please update x264 to 1937 ? :)

[Zathor]

No, not at the moment. I need to prepare the gui first for the --bluray-compat switch.

[Renzz]

There is a slight bug in audio encoding using Nero AAC and using FFAudioSource on the profile. I'm encoding .mpa files to .m4a, and when I try to delete the original .mpa afterwards, Windows tells me it's still in use by Megui. I have to completely close Megui to release it. Note: this only seems to affect the X64 version of Megui - as far as I can see the X32 version correctly closes the file (or at least lets me delete it).

[MenotBumba]

I noticed a bug which occurs from what I saw only when you are encoding a really long file. I tried to encode a 5 hours long file with MeGUI 2009, but when the audio encoding starts in the box where the file duration is, instead of five hours there says that the file is long only 2 hours. So I went back to 1989, and I did the same encode again, and the audio was correctly recognized as 5 hours long. I guess that this bug has something to do with this :

2004 [Audio Encoder] added option to choose the preferred decoder. Feature request #3053195

NicAudio don't have problems with long files.

[Lighto]

NicAudio don't have problems with long files.

Sorry, I am not familiar with NicAudio.
Thanks for letting me know.:)

IIRC, svn 1989 uses DirectShow for the audio decoding.
So I figured MenotBumba's audio problem will be solved by changing to the audio decoder svn 1989 was using.:p

[Zathor]

Without the log content the problem cannot be investigated and solved.

[tebasuna51]

Like Bluedan say here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1497623#post1497623 , with the actual version of oggenc2 the remap line:
6==Audiochannels(last)?GetChannel(last,1,3,2,5,6,4):last
is not more needed.

Please delete the line in next update.

[Zathor]

Thanks Tebasuna - the line has been removed.

I have a feature request.

I have made a avs file that makes a Trim list, see file it creates:



### scene change list ###

trim(0,93) +\
trim(94,153) +\

trim(715,787) +\
trim(788,848) +\
trim(849,925) +\
trim(926,942) +\
trim(943,995) +\
trim(996,1036) +\
trim(1037,1075) +\
trim(1076,1150)


However, when I load this as a avs file into megui I can only get one file outputted, according to Gavino, I have tried as well.

My feature request is that I load my trim file and get multiple output files, so each line of trim outputs a video clip.
Maybe this is a tool request?

What about including a working DVD subtitle ripper (like VSRip) ?

I mainly use MeGUI now to convert media, but i need to start up the abandoned Staxrip in order to use VSRip to rip working subs (.idx) that I then can include in a MeGUI encoding.
:thanks:

[Lighto]

@Betsy25
Is VobSubber not working for you?
Personally, Both VobSubber and VSRip doesn't get my DVD subtitle color right for me, the subtitles turns out in some dark color for some reason.

Is anybody else having issues with aborting a single x264 encoding job when 2 workers are being used?

The whole MeGUI freezes up as well as the 2 job status windows. Looking under the processes tab in task manager, it shows that only 1 instance of x264_64.exe is running.

I have been waiting over 10mins for MeGUI to unfreeze, so it looks like i have to kill it manually in taskmanager.

By freeze i don't mean that MeGUI says it's not responding, you just can't click on anything in the windows or even move them.

[Lighto]

@AMED
The last time MeGUI was frozen with 2 workers for me was because I fed a video file as MeGUI's audio input.

[AMED]

Thanks for the reply Lighto,

naa thats not the problem, all the audio encodings are done with the HD stream extractor. So the only thing in the Queue is the x264 encode and then the mkv muxing.

So basically have 2 x264_64 jobs running at the same time and then on one of the encoding status windows press abort.

Just to add on, overwriting existing files in the second worker causes MeGUI to freeze up as well.

Edit:
It would seems that MeGUI works fine when handling smaller files.

Abandoned? Stax has always taken periodical breaks between development.

i know this has been looked at before, but i have once again received an out of memory error when using MeGUI.

Currently MeGUI is using 987,300K in task manager when the error appeared

When it's done it will be released :rolleyes:

EDIT: The problem is not --bluray-compat - the problem is that there is a bigger change partly implemented which interferes with this change. Should be ready soon but I will not give you any ETA or details about the the other change. So stay tuned.

[Poutnik]

Have you considered integrating of ProjectX among the tools set as preindexing step ?
It is useful for DVB-X origin sources, performing MPG PS/TS demuxing to M2V + MP2 or WAV, together with fixing DVB transmission errors and related A/V sync errors.

[Poutnik]

There is an interlace related source type analysis in AVS source creator.
It works well, but seems to me corrupting the processing work-flow.
It should be done after cutting e.g. by AVS cutter, not before.

If the source is DVB capture, present advertisements are often interlaced, but movie itself is progressive.
At AVS creation steps, analysis will mark the source as partly interlaced, but the interlaced parts are cut at the following cutting step.

So I think the analysis should be within MeGUI moved somewhere else.

Edit: OR - the cutting invokable within AVS creator, before running analysis.

There will be no device preset anymore from the update server. The checks are much more comprehensive than the old device presets. It is still possible to create own presets of course.

[Lighto]

So there won't be any more MeGUI presets updates from the server?
The device presets in the x264 dialog will be fixed by the dev and the user can only add custom MeGUI presets?

If so, I feel that only widely used device preset such as blu-ray, AVCHD, DXVA, DivX Plus HD, etc should be included in the x264 config dialog.
Including the preset for G1, N8, N900, etc feels like a waste of space.

megui device presets are no longer necessary since x264 now includes devices presets. megui will support them as it is know to support the other x264 options (read as: it will support most or all of them). just configure the encoder from the config window and select the device you want to play the video on.
so, yes, they will be ADDED by the devs (im still confident i can be back working on the megui source... one day...) as long as they're an x264 option. on the other hand you can still create specific device presets setting the encoder advanced options accordingly to the device needs.

[Lighto]

@Sharktooth
So MeGUI devs are more or less preparing for x264 devices presets by including the devices drop down list in the x264 config dialog.
When the presets are ready, the devs can simply update with the device preset switch. Is that right?

[Zathor]

Yes, that is correct.

The new system even gives more flexibility in the limits of a specific device as the old system as the settings are not fixed anymore. e.g. the reference frames are not fixed anymore to 4 (for Blu-ray) - instead based upon the x264 preset, the video source / resolution, the user chosen value, ... the best value will be used and therefore may vary between 0 and 6.

[Lighto]

When custom --sar command is added to the x264 config dialog, the command line in the log defaults to --sar 1:1.
Is that meant to work this way?
The force SAR gui works fine though.

[Zathor]

I need to have a look at the problem. At the moment I can only say that there is a bug report describing a similar problem: http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3300094

[QBhd]

I am still wondering why the M2TS bitrate calculations are still broken... can't you just take the formulas/codes from version 0.3.5.0 and put them back in to the latest build? Currently I am using the latest MeGUI, but I have to use 0.3.5.0 to find the bitrate, change my preset and then not target a filesize in my output.... 0.3.5.0 is much easier to use, but I like/want/need the features of the latest build.

I filed that bug report. Doesn't matter if I use a custom command line sar or use the pulldown "Force SAR" option... all encodes are forced into --SAR 1:1

Thanks for looking into it. :thanks:

PS - I wish the Force SAR also had "--sar 4320:4739" and the other ratio for 16x9 (whatever the numbers are - sorry, I don't have them memorized).

[Pulp Catalyst]

not sure of this is for just bugs, or issues aswell....anyway, i have noticed that a lot of performance is wasted when MeGUI is dealing with the audio.

only 1 core (1 thread) is utilized, even when doing 2 audio tracks.....

MP3 encoding and AAC encoding can take a good 8 minutes on my system, however with all four cores being used, just over 2 minutes....

have noticed some other inefficiencies aswell....i am aware that MeGUI is open source and must use secondary applications that are too open source (most of which are quite old), even so i thought i would share this if it hasn't been shared already.

it came to me the other day when i was converting a 3.2 hour long film.... the audio (3 tracks- 1 main - 2 Commentary) took 40 minutes to do, that when i felt i should at least share my thoughts.

i guess programs like Azids/ MP3 Lame are just..... old i guess when it comes to multi-threading, strange that these programs haven't been replaces with superior versions (multithreaded from the ground up)

anyway, great program, starting to get the hang of it..... a lot of stuff to digest, a lot of window swapping (finding it difficult to get use to jumping from one dialogue screen to another....) but getting there. still get the feeling of CHAOS sometimes, have to close program and start fresh just to shake that feeling.

Just added this bug to the tracker at SF. I know how you guys love those international bugs, ANSI code page vs Unicode UTF-8, annoying little bugs and errors.

I wonder why none of the other Eastern European folks mentioned this error before, is it because it's something special with the system I'm temporarily using here that's set to one code page (Serbian) but users characters from another one (Polish)?

SourceForge.net > Projects > MeGUI > Tracker > Bugs >
Mux Error Due To Eastern European Letters in Video Filename (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3301107&group_id=156112&atid=798476)


When the input file includes Eastern European (Polish) letters in the file name the mux job will fail with error since the video stream file will have empty boxes instead of those characters (e.g. Ą ą Ć ć Ę ę ł Ł Ń ń ó Ś ś Ź ź Ż ż) in the file name. (Polish Alphabet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_alphabet )

The Windows XP system is running with the Serbian (Latinic) code page selected in the Control Panel, Regional, Advanced settings as the default code page. The Microsoft Windows XP Serbian Language Pack (freely downloadable from Microsoft) was applied to the current system to turn all prompts into Serbian language.

It appears that the output in the Log tab in MeGUI also shows the empty boxes instead of the letters. It appears that in MeGUI the .AVS input script line FFVideoSource() is the one that shows the problem first with the missing character.

Almost forgot to mention this. The .AVI filename produced has the blank
box character, and when I rename the file and replace those characters with
the proper letters in the file name and re-run the errored out jobs the mux
and clean-up complete successfully. So I have a work-around but not a fix.

[Poutnik]

.......I wonder why none of the other Eastern European folks mentioned this error before, is it because it's something special with the system I'm temporarily using here that's set to one code page (Serbian) but users characters from another one (Polish)?

I could use czech filenames, but I do not try fortune and make filenames for processing chain de-spaced and ASCII friendly.

[AMED]

not sure of this is for just bugs, or issues aswell....anyway, i have noticed that a lot of performance is wasted when MeGUI is dealing with the audio.

only 1 core (1 thread) is utilized, even when doing 2 audio tracks.....

MP3 encoding and AAC encoding can take a good 8 minutes on my system, however with all four cores being used, just over 2 minutes....

have noticed some other inefficiencies aswell....i am aware that MeGUI is open source and must use secondary applications that are too open source (most of which are quite old), even so i thought i would share this if it hasn't been shared already.

it came to me the other day when i was converting a 3.2 hour long film.... the audio (3 tracks- 1 main - 2 Commentary) took 40 minutes to do, that when i felt i should at least share my thoughts.

i guess programs like Azids/ MP3 Lame are just..... old i guess when it comes to multi-threading, strange that these programs haven't been replaces with superior versions (multithreaded from the ground up)

anyway, great program, starting to get the hang of it..... a lot of stuff to digest, a lot of window swapping (finding it difficult to get use to jumping from one dialogue screen to another....) but getting there. still get the feeling of CHAOS sometimes, have to close program and start fresh just to shake that feeling.This is done on purpose. I REPORTED (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1398665#post1398665) a while ago that audio encodings would randomly get messed up when running 2 audio encoding jobs at the same time using avisynth.

getting Process exits with error code: -1073741819 with a certain clip. i tried indexing it again but it doesn't help. i get the error within 20 seconds of starting to encode the job. I am using 2019 (svn) version of MeGUI. Is there a particular reason this one 3000-frame clip is getting the error?

Its not just you. I am getting the same error and exit on numerous encodes since the last couple updates of x264. Something is wrong with the latest version but I have no idea what.

EDIT: Still not sure what is going on. Reinstalled the stable version (2009) which was running fine before and it errored out with the same code on the same files. I am now trying to run them on a different machine to see if something wierd is going on with my pc...

EDIT2: Well it only happens on one pc and not the other but the one where it happens has the nvidia chip running dgindexnv. I have now run into the error enough times to figure out its with avisynth.dll, not x264. MeGUI avisynthcreator can fail if the frame opened inthe preview window has whatever it is avisynth.dll is bombing on. No idea what. I am running avisynth 2.5.8 is that correct version?

[Rat Killer]

While the above issue still haunts me quite frequently I have an independant question or feature request.

If I open a file with the 'File' 'Open', then index sequence, after indexing meGUI fills in the video and audio encoding parameters ready for me to hit autoencode. Very convienient.

Sometimes, the audio is already exactly as it should be and does not need recoding. Is there an option or could there be for the autoencode to pass through the current audio track unaltered and just mux it with the recoded video track? Perhaps just an encoder setting of 'passthrough' would do the trick. Or is there already a way to do this and I missed it?

There is.... this was a peeve of mine for a while until I figured it out. Before you hit autoencode, remove the audio from the main window with the "X" located next to the "enqueue" button. When the autoencode window pops up there is a check box to add additional content at the bottom, check this. Then you can add the unaltered audio in the mux stage. You can set this in the settings==>extra config==>configure autoencode defaults==>check "add additional content"... this way that little check box is always on.

Any help appreciated

I loaded an MKV file into the HD Streams Extractor. The MKV container had a 1080p video file, an audio file, and 2 subtitle tracks (both SRT files).

I selected to extract ONLY the two subtitle streams. However, the HD Streams Extractor also extracted the video track. I think this is a bug.

[tebugg]

just wondering, is megui going to implement the vhq metric for xvid? i've been using xvid 1.3.1 with virtualdub and i love the results the vhq metric (psnr-hvs-m) is giving, but i would love to see it in megui as well. it gives r-d optimizations and i can tell the difference between an xvid 1.2.2 and xvid 1.3.1 encode. i hope megui updates its xvid, i have not come across any bugs recently with the new xvid build and i encode 720p avi's to 2.8gb from 20+gb x264 files. they all play nicely on my HD media player on my 1080p TV.

Edit: i found the problem. its an xvid_encraw problem not a xvid developer problem which is why i can create avi files over 2gb with virtualdub.

[Amateur]

still getting this error even after the update to 2028 svn. any ideas for the cause?

getting this error again but with a different file now. the first error corrected itself after i updated. i'm now on 2023 svn and selected Check for Updates but it found none.

I have some serious problem with any MeGUI build newer than 1911. I tried both stable and dev, I installed Matroska and ffdshow, but no difference!

Every time I open an avs file with an ImageSource, I get:
Fatal Error:
MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed.
Reason: Attempted to read or write memory protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

The avs files are not even complex, they are just:

ImageSource("imgseq_%d.png", 1,1001,25)
ConvertToYV12()


I have absolutely no problem on or before build 1911.

Can you help me how to solve this issue? I really don't know what is causing it!

[AMED]

I've found an issue using the One Click Encoder when using episode DVD's that have been ripped in a way that each episode's file have identical file naming. The One Click Encoder gets totally messed up because it uses the same name for the d2v file creation.

e.g.

+---BONES S04xE01E02
| VIDEO_TS.BUP
| VIDEO_TS.IFO
| VTS_01 - Chapter Information.txt
| VTS_01_0.BUP
| VTS_01_0.IFO
| VTS_01_1.VOB
| VTS_01_2.VOB
| VTS_01_3.VOB
|
+---BONES S04xE03
| VIDEO_TS.BUP
| VIDEO_TS.IFO
| VTS_01 - Chapter Information.txt
| VTS_01_0.BUP
| VTS_01_0.IFO
| VTS_01_1.log
| VTS_01_1.VOB
| VTS_01_2.VOB
|
+---BONES S04xE04
| VIDEO_TS.BUP
| VIDEO_TS.IFO
| VTS_01 - Chapter Information.txt
| VTS_01_0.BUP
| VTS_01_0.IFO
| VTS_01_1.VOB
| VTS_01_2.VOB

http://s4.postimage.org/a6jz49hd3/Me_GUI2.png (http://www.postimage.org/)
free image hosting (http://www.postimage.org/)

As you can see it will overwrite the same d2v file when the queue runs.

http://s4.postimage.org/ktcgb3n6u/Me_GUI.png (http://www.postimage.org/)
adult image hosting (http://www.postimage.org/)

A smarter way to handle this is to name the intermediate and output files based on the folder names.

So if a folder structure is Bones S04xE11\VIDEO_TS

IF Folder = VIDEO_TS
Files will be prefixed with Bones S04xE11
ELSE
Files will be prefixed VIDEO_TS (or whatever the folder is called they are in)

Of course this should be an optional setting in MeGUI. Maybe called Smart File Naming?

I formatted and did a fresh installation of win x64 7,
then I installed megui v. 2028 and to my surprise I didn't see any blue ray profiles in the encoders settings, only Xvid profiles.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem?

When encoding interlaced @29.970fps, blu-ray target device selected, the log shows this warning :

--[Information] [6/20/2011 11:06:38 AM] [Blu-ray]: target device selected

Obviously it is supported , when interlaced, correct ?

[JoeH]

@Zathor - In the development build, it looks like a non MT version of FFMS is being included now (R460). Since R470, MT and non MT versions have been merged (all are MT capable now), so if you update it to R473 (latest version) we should be good.

[tebasuna51]

@JoeH
ffms2 r470-473 merged versions can crash, with a no-mt AviSynth, in circustances than vanilla ffms2 work fine.

[Zathor]

That's the reason why I do not use the newer MT builds anymore. The MT builds crash e.g. when the deinterlacing detection is running for AVI files. I have not tried it yet with threads=1.

10000000/333667 is not equal to 30000/1001. Please post your avs file.

[rapscallion]

10000000/333667 is not equal to 30000/1001. Please post your avs file.
I know, it's equal to 29.970, which was the selected fps (interlaced, tff encode)

AVS file :
DirectShowSource("D:\bd_test\hmr\hmr.m2ts",fps=29.970,audio=false)

[Zathor]

Try adding .AssumeFPS(30000,1001)

[rapscallion]

Wow, that "29" in the 5th and 6th decimal place really makes a difference.
I'll try it again. Thanks Zathor.

Edit: Well, that did it ! Thanks again. What threw me off is that, sometime in the past, I used that same 29.970fps avs script with no problem. I suppose now that x264/Megui has become more BD compatible, the parameters are stricter. And, that's a good thing, of course.

[rapscallion]

BTW, I had read either here, or in the Megui General questions thread, that upgarding my Core2 Duo E8450 3.0Ghz/ 6mb L2 processor to a Quad Q9650 3.0Ghz/ 12mb L2 would increase my processing speed ~15% (IIRC).

Welll, I did the upgrade last week and Holy Blu-ray Batman, the fps more than doubled and the processing speed, on the same 10min BD test clip, was cut by more than half, on both the first and second pass. Nice surprise, needless to say!

Updated to 2033, i keep getting this error when using autoencode to set the final size and select what audio to mux

Enqueueing just video works but i like the Autoencode option because it autocalculates the bitrate needed.

[pancserzso]

OK, I could share some more information regarding the strange behaviour of the Preview window with Avisynth files containing ImageSource source.

If I use MeGUI in default settings with "Open Preview after Avisynth script selection" ON, I either get an:
- "Fatal Error: MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Attempted to read or write memory protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
- OR MeGUI just freezes randomly with the border of the preview windows appearing, but then freezing.
Which one happens is totally random.

If I switch OFF the "Open Preview after Avisynth script selection", MeGUI opens and encodes perfectly.

The strange thing is that if auto-open preview is OFF, I can just manually click "Reopen video preview" and it always works perfectly! No matter how many times I open and close that dialog, it works perfectly!

Using Avisynth 2.5.8 with NO plugins in the avs files. Just one line avs files for ImageSource (+convert YV12).

2034 has broken MKV muxing.

I use Autoencode to produce an MKV - I use the Playstation 3 X264 profile and the Nero AAC profile to produce the audio. Both run but the muxing job ignores the audio, so I get an MKV with no sound. I am using the X64 version of Megui.

No, it only happens with ImageSource, DirectShowSource works perfectly.

Also, it only happens on builds > 1911. In builds <= 1911 ImageSource works perfectly. I only tested stable builds, not dev ones, but there was a change between 1911 and the next stable what broke auto-preview when ImageSource.

Hi:

I am getting an error parsing mediainfo data just at the beginning of the preprocessing phase.

The error says:

Anyone can help?

Please post your complete log. This way I can see which version you are using, which indexer, ... and please post the mediainfo of the file as I cannot reproduce the error.

EDIT: I found a way to reproduce the error. You do not need to post the information anymore. Investigating...
EDIT: Ignore the error until a fix is available. It is not causing any problems beside that you need to click on the ok button to proceed.

Megui has been hanging (to the point I have to delete the process) when I use the buttons for opening windows. For instance, if I want to open explorer to search for files; or even if I'm opening up the bit rate calculator. I've been using megui for a loooong time now and only recently has this been happening. It only happens after a certain amount of time though. Any ideas?

[hello_hello]

Yesterday I was encoding some PAL DVDs using the "target playback device" option set to Blu-ray (MeGUI 2035). The output was a 720x576 MKV with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Using the Blu-ray option however resulted in MKVs of the wrong aspect ratio. So I checked the log file. The relevant bits:

---[NoImage] # Set DAR in encoder to 16 : 9. The following line is for automatic signalling
---[NoImage] global MeGUI_darx = 16
---[NoImage] global MeGUI_dary = 9

--[Warning] [25/06/2011 7:37:39 PM] [Blu-ray]: assume --sar 16:11 as only 16:11 or 12:11 are supported with a resolution of 720x576.

So using the Blu-ray target device option I guess it's not possible to encode a 16:9 MKV at 720x576? Is this expected behaviour?

One question regarding the Blu-ray compatibility option if anyone knows the answer....
If I'm encoding to MKV and wish those MKVs to play correctly in an MKV compatible Blu-ray player, should I still worry about the Blu-Ray compatibility option or does it really only apply when wanting to create a Blu-ray compliant disc? If not, are there any specific x264/Blu-ray settings which are generally required for standalone, MKV capable players?

Thanks.

Of course it is. --sar 16:11 is for 16:9 and --sar 12:11 is for 4:3 (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/576p-pal)

I assume that you will get problems with some players if you do not restrict x264. E.g. with too high vbv values it may not possible to playback the files from a BD. I do not know which is the most compatible setting.

Sadly I have no idea.

[pancserzso]

Sure, as I is hard to fix a problem which I cannot reproduce. Please upload your script and all files necessary to reproduce the problem.

Here is it:
http://ifile.it/d5wmsjq

I am using the latest official Avisynth 2.5.8 32-bit, single threaded.

[hello_hello]

Of course it is. --sar 16:11 is for 16:9 and --sar 12:11 is for 4:3 (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/576p-pal)

I guess I'm missing something then? With a resolution of 720x576 MeGUI was definitely producing an MKV with the wrong aspect ratio. When I disabled the Blu-Ray device compatibility option and added the appropriate x264 parameters manually the aspect ratio was then okay.

What I don't understand (is SAR 16:11 the storage aspect ratio?) is if --sar 16:11 is for 16:9 why was there a warning in the log file and the aspect ratio changed?

"assume --sar 16:11 as only 16:11 or 12:11 are supported with a resolution of 720x576"

Why would there be a need to assume anything if the DAR of 16:9 being set by MeGUI is already correct?
If I cropped a little more so the ouput resolution was 716x572 there'd be a warning in the log file about it not being a resolution supported by Blu-Ray but the encode would go ahead as normal and the aspect ratio would be correct.

For the record with the Blu-Ray compatibility option enabled the output seemed fairly close to 4:3, with it disabled the output was 16:9.
I always disable the ITU resizing option if that makes any difference. I wish MeGUI had an option to disable it by default.

Thanks.

[Traps]

Ok does anyone know what the hell is going on. All of a sudden i can't play any videos at all when trying to encode a movie using MeGUI/x264/DGDecNV.

If i'm playing a movie already when pressing start in MeGUI i get a DGMultiSource "Failed to create video decoder (100)" error or DGMultiSource "cuCtxCreate () failed.", after that MeGUI crashes. Sometimes also the screen freezes, goes out and back into Aero, says that Nvidia Driver crashed and recovered successfully.

If i'm already encoding when trying to play a video file it works but when exiting the video player (MPC HC) same thing happens again, Nvidia driver always crashes but MeGUI doesnt crash except Processing rate FPS keeps increasing until it's time for pass2 then it crashes.

I have absolutely no idea what could have caused this to start happening, i've never had any problems like this and i havent changed any settings or hardware.

I like do question, if i need extract video stream of mpeg, why must I use mkv,mp4 or avi container? I hope that in m2v extension would be more correct

Thanks

EDIT: Only success when i enabled "Dont encoded video".

[hello_hello]

Of course it is. --sar 16:11 is for 16:9 and --sar 12:11 is for 4:3 (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/576p-pal)

I think the penny has finally dropped after thinking about my problem for a while (It's still regarding the use of the Blu-ray target device option when encoding DVDs, but it only applies to output resolutions of 720x576 or 720x480).
In my initial post I said that when encoding 16:9 video the output was fairly close to 4:3. So now what I'm thinking is happening is this....

When encoding 16:9 video using the Blu-ray target device option and a resolution of 720x576 the following warning appears in the log file:
"[Warning] [4/07/2011 3:09:04 AM] [Blu-ray]: assume --sar 16:11 as only 16:11 or 12:11 are supported with a resolution of 720x576."

What I'm now thinking is despite the warning saying it's assuming 16:11, it's actually assuming/using 12:11, hence my 16:9 encodes being also 4:3. According to MPC my 16:9, 720x576 encodes have a 785:576 aspect ratio.

I didn't have a ripped NTSC DVD on my hard drive, so I tested using a PAL DVD but cropped until the resolution was 720x480. First I set the input aspect ratio as 4:3, then tried again using 16:9.
NTSC DVD encodes seem to have the opposite problem to PAL DVD encodes. As with PAL 4:3 & 16:9 encodes, in both cases the warning in the log file was exactly the same (only NTSC the same):
"[Warning] [4/07/2011 3:38:39 AM] [Blu-ray]: assume --sar 40:33 as only 40:33 or 10:11 are supported with a resolution of 720x480." and the resulting aspect ratio was 109:60.

So for a resolution of 720x576 the log file always tells you 16:11 is being assumed regardless of the input aspect ratio but the output aspect ratio is always 4:3. The output aspect ratio is correct if the input aspect ratio is 4:3 but incorrect when it's 16:9.

For a resolution of 720x480 the log file always tells you 40:33 is being assumed regardless of the input aspect ratio and the output aspect ratio is always 16:9. The output aspect ratio is correct if the input aspect ratio is 16:9 but incorrect when it's 4:3.

At least that's how it appears to be working for me....

I'm working on some GUI prototypes that would make my workflow more efficient. Here is a mockup:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6142956/forums/MeJobs.png

* Combine queue, tool launcher, and status into job listing
* Expand to see details
* Support job templates that have predefined tasks
* Subsequent tasks can accept input file names from pending tasks
* Auto file name, chapter names
* Auto zones from chapters, auto intro/credit
* Auto subs for movies with forced subs
* Confirm result and cleanup task

I'll be refining the mockup so please let me know your thoughts.

[JoeH]

That's the reason why I do not use the newer MT builds anymore. The MT builds crash e.g. when the deinterlacing detection is running for AVI files. I have not tried it yet with threads=1.

That's too bad - the MT versions are so much faster. I notice it especially since I "mount" indexed H264 files as AVI files and then edit them in Sony Vegas, where the thumbnail painting is probably 3x faster with the MT versions.

Would it be better to go back to the last stable MT build? Or is there something in the latest non-MT builds that is important for some users? If so, not a big deal, just kind of a bother to have to replace it manually every once in a while.

[JoeH]

@Emp3r0r
That looks pretty nice. Congrats! I especially like the idea of "subsequent tasks can accept input file names from pending tasks". That would be very handy.

I don't quite understand how you would combine the tool launcher into the job listing. Would the jobs still be a tab on the MeGUI screen? If so, I don't see the need, as the tools are always available.

One thing I would like to see, in an ideal world, would be the possibility for you to set all those TSMuxer options within MeGUI, for muxing in SRT files as subtitles and outputting a Bluray structure (and setting the font size, etc. of the subtitles). I never mentioned this before because it seemed a little much to ask, but I see you mention the "auto subs" and thought I'd throw out the idea anyway.

Are you one of the active developers, or just putting together ideas?

Help!

[hello_hello]

MajorX, I've had a similar problem once before. I think I made a note of each problem update, then navigated to the updates folder and deleted them, then ran the updater again. Using XP at least, the location where the updates are downloaded is something like: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\update_cache"

When MeGUI updates some components it seems to make a backup copy of the previous versions. I'm totally guessing but maybe the previous versions were still locked or in use for some reason so MeGUI couldn't rename them?

[Overdrive80]

In next version, your fix bug to auto addition line lanczos(0,0) when uses "Dont encoded video" option?

Other request, if is possible add comboxlist for selecting PAR video, in mp4 muxer.

The code generated would be:

@echo off
path "C:\Users\Isra\Desktop\MP4Box-0.4.6-rev2053"

start mp4box.exe -par 1=10:11 -add "C:\Users\Isra\Desktop\Dragon Ball Box - 001.h264:name=Video:fps=23.976" -add "C:\Users\Isra\Desktop\Dragon Ball Box - 001.ac3:name=Audio:lang=es" -new "C:\Users\Isra\Desktop\Dragon Ball Box - 001.mp4"

@Emp3r0r
I don't quite understand how you would combine the tool launcher into the job listing. Would the jobs still be a tab on the MeGUI screen?
Are you one of the active developers, or just putting together ideas?

I see a job as a collection of tasks using tools to get the required result. For example, the one-click encoder is a job with many tasks and very little input.

It would be nice if MeGUI could better group tasks, especially around custom job templates.

A job template is a predefined series of tools/tasks.

I've done a little work on MeGUI bitrate calculator but I'm not an active developer.

[LeXXuz]

I don't know if this has been suggested before but I'm really missing speed-up/slow-down options in the audio encoder for "true" 24p sources (24.000 FPS -> 25 FPS and vice versa)

[Zathor]

2038 [Video Player] fixed video preview window for some avs scripts (e.g. using ImageSource)
2037 mediainfo enhancements
mediainfo details are written into the log for most files/jobs
2036 [Chapter Creator] fixed language tag creation

ImageSource fatal error present in 2035.
Thanks for the upload - the problem should be fixed in 2038. At least it did not occur for me anymore.

In next version, your fix bug to auto addition line lanczos(0,0) when uses "Dont encoded video" option?
Please update to 2038, reproduce the problem again and upload the complete log file. I have made a small workaround so that it is not possible anymore to resize to 0 but this does not fix the real problem.

I'm working on some GUI prototypes that would make my workflow more efficient.
Looks very promising! Thank you very much for your effort.

[disklib]

The video player cannot be maximized and therfore the player should never be bigger than the original size...

Zathor - I'm not sure if your comment above is relevant to my issue, but...

Not too long ago (maybe 6-12 months?) the video preview window that's visible in AviSynth Script Creator used to allow zooming via the + button. The window would default to orig 1:1 size and the + button would increase the window size beyond that. At some update point the + button stopped doing this, and now seems to allow "zooming" up to 1:1 but not beyond it.

At the time I didn't read any comments on this being done deliberately, and thinking it might have just been a temporary bug I didn't ask about it.

I really miss this feature as it allowed a much needed closer look when trying to decide on noise filters for SD DVD content.

Can it be re-enabled?

[poisondeathray]

Some of the "blu-ray" presets are missing important information for compatibility

There might be others, I haven't checked them all

[hello_hello]

The Blu-ray target device preset still seems to be broken when it comes to aspect ratio (MeGUI 2038). Any PAL 720x576 encode comes out 4:3 regardless of whether the input aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9.
I assume the NTSC output aspect ratio for 720x480 encodes is still broken using the Blu-ray preset. I haven't tested it again but it was producing a 16:9 output regardless of the input aspect ratio.

[JoeH]

Off topic I know, but you've made me curious. What's the process for "mounting" an indexed h264 file as an AVI? Is it something that's be usable with other programs aside from Sony Vegas?

It's only sort of off-topic, since it's actually a fantastic reason to prefer FFMS-MT.

Install these two programs, both free:
AviSynth Virtual File System (http://www.turtlewar.org/avfs/)
Pismo File Mount Audit Package (http://www.pismotechnic.com/pfm/ap/)

Now, when you create an AVS file (using MeGUI, for example), you can right click on it and select "QuickMount". The AVS script will disappear and a subfolder will appear. Inside the subfolder will be a virtual AVI file and a small text file which will tell you if there are any errors (it will appear even if there were no errors). The AVI file will appear to be enormous, but doesn't take up any more space than the original AVS file... it's just a virtual AVI file.

You can then use this AVI file anywhere - Vegas, Premiere, or anywhere else you wish. This is great, because it means you can edit any file you can open in AviSynth, even if your video editing program doesn't support it, and without having to convert to an intermediate codec or lose any quality.

The only disadvantage can be the speed of editing. I have found, however, that with a Core i7-920, if I use FFMS-MT version, the speed is very, very good. The non MT version however is painfully slow.

That is why I am very interested in keeping an easy way to use the MT version in MeGUI available if possible.

Another great option is to index with DGIndexNV. Especially with the VP4 and much more so with the new VP5 engine (twice as fast as VP4!!) on the NVidia cards, decoding of H264 and VC1 is fast enough that you can use this method to edit those original files in a NLE without much problem, with all the advantages that using your video card to decode implies.

[Traps]

Would it be possible to add "Suggest Resolution (mod4)" to the AviSynth script creator?

I've installed them and I'm having a "play" at the moment.
I think I'm doing what you're doing, or something very similar, but in a different way. I'm going to start a new thread so if you return and want to discuss the pros and cons, it won't make a mess of this thread. I put it in the General discussion forum.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1515157#post1515157

Also, I had a thought regarding your wish to use FFMS-MT as an indexing option in MeGUI. Until it happens, and I haven't tested this myself but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work, what if you were to create a basic script to open your video file and index it using ffms-mt? Something like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("C:\video.mkv")

When you open the script, ffms should automatically index the video, so what would happen if you opened MeGUI's script creator and used the above script as your source video?
I'm pretty sure MeGUI will import the script, the video will automatically be indexed when you do, and then you should be able to use MeGUI to create a second script for encoding. That way you could save the MT version of ffms in it's own location and use it instead of the non-MT version which I assume is the version MeGUI uses?

1080i25 and 1080i30 need --tff and --sar 1:1
720p50 and720p60 need --sar 1:1
I just had a quick look at the code and --sar should be correct for all of your examples. --sar is independent of frames per second and therefore if it is correct e.g. for 720p24 it should be ok for 720p50 as well. Did you made an test encode? Please post the full log file.

As MeGUI cannot detect interlaced content properly you must add --tff on your own for 1080i25 as this can also be 1080p25. For 1080i30 --tff will be added automatically as 1080p30 is not allowed by the spec (1080p29.97 is allowed).

[Zathor]

That is why I am very interested in keeping an easy way to use the MT version in MeGUI available if possible.
It will be back with the next build.

[Zathor]

I don't know if this has been suggested before but I'm really missing speed-up/slow-down options in the audio encoder for "true" 24p sources (24.000 FPS -> 25 FPS and vice versa)

Will be in the next build.

[Zathor]

@Zathor, i attachment a file wherein I explain steps taken & logfile.

http://www.mediafire.com/?p6y9b7b725uz2gh

Upon completion, the resulting file is encoded and I do not want that.

At the moment the "keep video track" option is only available if both source and target container format is MKV. It can be extended of course - but that will need some time. Nevertheless thanks for your report. I have fixed the errors for AVI-->M2TS conversion with "keep video track" option activated.

Hi, when i encode wav file to flac, with option "Biggest file" launch error because cant overwrite file with same name.
Thanks for the report. The problem has been fixed.

It occur when i try encoded wav file to flac. These wav file is exported by audition cs5.5 with duration of 3 sg, depth 32 bit. I cant upload because i decided convert to aif format & remove wav file.

Hi :

One-click does everything but vobsub substitles

Adding a page to select subs to vobsub would be great

Thanks Zathor for greatly improving Megui

I want to encode some HD videos to SD and I don't know how to convert color space (bt709 -> bt601) to keep right colors.

Should I use avisynth "ColorMatrix(clip, mode="Rec.709->Rec.601")" or use ColorMatrix in x264 settings ?

Thank you.

I use both. The former will actually convert the colors while the latter simply writes colorimetry info to the video stream which will probably be ignored by most players.
So I use "ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601")" to convert to bt601, then use the colormatrix section in MeGUI's x264 settings to write bt601 colorimetry info to the video stream.

I just noticed, my preset color conversion AVS script doesn't include the "clip" parameter. It's just:
"ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601")"
There's no doubt it works though so I assume "clip" isn't necessary?

[jeremy33]

I think clip is not needed.

This thread not is by your type of doubt.

[jeremy33]

I'm sorry I encode with megui so I post here but you are right the thread title is clear enough.

[Lyle_JP]

I think clip is not needed.

Like most avisynth functions, if you don't specify clip, then "last" is assumed ("last" being whatever was output from the prior statement in the script).

[jeremy33]

ah ok, thank you for the clarification.

[Rat Killer]

I have a large number of files where the video is fine but the audio is in the wrong format and both need to go into an mp4 container. At the moment I use the HD streams extractor to extract an h264 file and an ac3 (converted from aac) file. Then use the mp4 muxer to put them into the new container. One file at a time.

Is there any way to do a job like this in a more automated way like with the one click encoder without recoding the video?

[Dal]

Is there any chance that MeGui will support DGAVCDecDI?
Or is there a way to replace DGDecodeNV with DGAVCDecDI?

As it is now, when I try to open a h264 .ts file in file indexer, MeGui seems to use DGAVCIndex, which is old, and cannot demux multiple audio streams at once.

And when I index the file "manually" with DGAVCIndexDI.exe (creating a .dgi file), and try to open it with AVS Script Creator, I get this error:
AviSynth scrip error:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "<path to megui\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll"But that is natural since I don't have a Nvidia GFX card.

If there currently is no way to use DGAVCDecDI in MeGui, consider this a request :)

Thank you.

[LeXXuz]

2041 [Audio Encoder] added 24 <--> 25 conversions


No more 'manual' conversions for me. Thank you!!! :)

[meshaun]

Hi guys..
Umm, I got MeGUI not responding in the 1-Click.
It shows Preprocessing for hours!!!
Nothing goes forward or anything but the preprocessing is just happening it seems

[Zathor]

Please post your log file.

[Overdrive80]

Would be wonderfull can encode h264 @10 bit using megui. Is possibly??

Thanks. ^^

[LeXXuz]

It would be great if the Audio Cutter supports AAC in MP4 container.

If that's too much effort, an automated demux, either after AAC encode with nero or before cutting would be great.

This would spare users to manually demux AAC streams before using the Audio Cutter.

[tebasuna51]

Audio Cutter is bassed in BeSplit (abandoned), without support for containers.
Also don't support AC3/MP3 in AVI's, ...

But a Tool option to demux MP4, AVI, ... like HD Stream Extractor for MKV, M2TS,... can be usefull (even manually).

[himan2001]

An very old anoying Bug is back in megui/mkvtoolnix:

The created Videofiles for 24000/1001 contains again
the wrong framerate of 23975(!) instead 23976 or 24000/1001.

Only the final muxed container has the correct framerate:


eac3to-Demux-Sample:

MKV, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 0:42:28, 24p /1.001

1: h264/AVC, 720p23.975 (16:9)
"H.264 Video"
2: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48kHz
"English DD 5.1"
v01 The video bitstream is encoded in a non-standard framerate.
v01 The video bitstream framerate field doesn't match the container framerate.


...and in popcornhour the same infos.

This was fixed for while and now the old Framerate-Bug is back.

The problem comes up with creating the Videostream itself. mkvtoolnix later only remuxes the container with the correct framerate of 24000/1001 but not fixx the wrong Video-Framerate itself!

So when a user encode with "23.976", please make sure the Info is correctly written to the Videobitstream itself when encoding ;-)

Remember use the AssumeFps(24000,1001) in the .avs script.

[himan2001]

Remember use the AssumeFps(24000,1001) in the .avs script.

This is a general problem for the wide masses ;-)

In the AVS Script the Framerate is set to 23.976 since very long time and the resulting File is 23975(!), so it is a new bug :p

Question: WHY is this 24000/1001-thing newly needed, when source is comming from BluRay ?

This setting was not needed in older Versions of MEGui and it was fixed in an older Vewrsion, but don´t remember, in which Version.

[Zathor]

Please provide the complete log file of the conversion process.

[himan2001]

Please provide the complete log file of the conversion process.


DirectShowSource("BDsource.mkv", fps=23.976, audio=false, pixel_type="YV12")

Spline36Resize(1280,720,0,0,1920,1080)


That´s all. Since Years i use it, and with older Versions of Megui/mkvtoolnix the resulting "video.mkv" gehts 23.976
in the Header. Now Is 23.975 and is complained in poppy and eac3to and maybee more devices and demuxers.

I see the problem, that "Millions of Peoples" use the "Default-Scripts" since years, and now the "AssumeFPS(24000/1001) is needed ?

I think it makes more sense, when a source comes with "ntsc_film", then the resulting ES-Stream has the 24000/1001 correctly setted as "default", like in the old MeGui-Versions ;-)

[tebasuna51]

DirectShowSource("BDsource.mkv", fps=23.976, audio=false, pixel_type="YV12")
Use DirectShowSource("BDsource.mkv", audio=false, pixel_type="YV12").AssumeFps(24000,1001)

Is a DirectShow problem, not MeGUI or AviSynth.

[himan2001]

Use DirectShowSource("BDsource.mkv", audio=false, pixel_type="YV12").AssumeFps(24000,1001)

Is a DirectShow problem, not MeGUI or AviSynth.

Why is this NOW a problem ? It worked a long long time without the "new" settings, but thx anyway.

I´am not changed the decoder or avisynth or the directhsow.dll the last 2 years, but i made updates to Megui/mkvtoolnix, and now there is this problem (back again)...

This Problem WAS fixed in Megui, but can´t remember, why is now back.

I think it´s easier to handle this internaly as default.
I really see not the Problem to fixx 23975 -> 23976 finaly :(

There is only one real "ntsc_film" Frequency, so i see no problem to handle this always correctly without producing new non-standard filmrates ?

Hmmm...

[AMED]

@himan2001
Try indexing your MKV with the file indexer in MEGUI.

[tebasuna51]

The problem is related with the file to decode, not always appear.

@AMED, the same problem with ffms2.
Always put the explicit AviSynth statement AssumeFps

MeGUI add the needed AssumeFps with the Tool AVS Script Creator.

[Zathor]

2050 [Update] added check so that files can only be installed using the correct MeGUI build
2049 open avisynth script handling improved

Why isn't there a option to Resize to a Higher resolution?
I have some Mobile videos in 320x and I want to resize those to 720x480.
Since the aviscript should be manually edited to make it resize, the calculations go wrong.
Why not make megui select the height automatically and enable options to maximize the resolution?

[Zathor]

Would be wonderfull can encode h264 @10 bit using megui. Is possibly??

Never tried it. What happens when you replace the exe files?

Why isn't there a option to Resize to a Higher resolution?

I assume the reason is that in most cases it makes no sense to upsize. But there should already be a feature request in the list.

Is there any chance that MeGui will support DGAVCDecDI?

I do not have DGAVCDecDI and therefore cannot add it.

Are there any plans to add subtitle support to the one click encoder? I have recently started using it but it's only good for titles which don't necessitate subtitles.

BTW I should have started using the one click encoder years ago. It make the whole process much less involved.

As I do not have much time for MeGUI I primarily add time consuming things only when I need it for my work or when there is a high demand. OneClick is my favorite in MeGUI and that's the reason for the changes in it during the last year or so. And yes, I also need to handle subtitles so it is likely the next "big thing" in OneClick. Please explain what you want to have a little bit in detail so that I can verify if my plans are fine for you too.

BTW I should have started using the one click encoder years ago. It make the whole process much less involved. I discovered it also quite late and that's the reason why I am thinking about giving it more prominent place in MeGUI so that this is the default process for handling easy tasks. But of course subtitle support is needed before.

[Carpo]

@all:
Another of my workflows is in need of a more appropriate denoiser as the MeGUI ones and therefore I am fiddling around at the moment with the integration of better/newer avisynth filters. As I am no avs expert I would love to have some input. At the moment I am thinking about adding MCTemporalDenoise() (with the options "very low" to "very high") and removing all other denoisers. The good thing with MCTemporalDenoise() is that is only a short step to TempGaussMC(). But I am unsure if it can replace all deinterlacers or which settings should be used by default. Any feedback is welcome!

i would post that question over in the avisynth thread, your more likely to get better feedback in there :)

I am very interested in this feature request, and would like to see the ability to output a Blu-ray structure with subtitles muxed in by TSMuxer, with the ability to specify the Font, Font Size, and Border Width options for the subtitles (ideally with MeGUI offering the option to assign a default Font, Font Size and Border Width option - all these options are in TSMuxer, of course).

It would be nice as well to be able to add (at least) two subtitle tracks and (at least) two audio tracks to the Blu-ray structure using One-Click. That would really help simplify my workflow. Thanks!

[saint-francis]

I think that the current subtitle dialog is fine and would be great if incorporated into the one click encoder. Just be able to select one, multiple or all streams and be able to name them and order them. For example when I'm dealing with subtitles I usually only keep the English track but I will sometimes keep other languages if I think I may have an interest in learning that language at a later date. I name them "English Subtitles" or "Spanish Subtitles" and so on, but the English track is always first and default.

And of course BD support would be great but I imagine it's pretty involved so I'll take it if and when it comes. Until then I'll continue to use the regular MeGUI processes for dealing with BD's. It still is much less time consuming than going through whole process manually.

Thanks again.

[JoeH]

I forgot one other feature I often use in TSMuxer for the subtitles - the offset in pixels from the bottom of the screen, which is necessary to adjust based on the aspect ratio of the video.

The main issue I have with MeGUI is that when you create new x264 presets, if MeGUI is not closed properly (if it crashes) none of the presets or changes to the presets are saved.

Yes, that is a known point and there should be already a feature request regarding this behavior. I also do not like the way it is handled at the moment. Nevertheless it requires a lot of work to change it and I do not have this time (or want to spend it in other MeGUI areas). So do not expect a change soon.

Hello,

I repost my problem because on this forum. I'm not sure that in the site "http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798479" there is live.

I want to know if it's possible to index the input video file with the Direct Show Filters in "One Click Encoder" ?
When I use Avisynth Script Creator I have no issue, Notice : In this case I use the option DirectShow Filter to index the input file.

Thank you a lot.

[Sharktooth]

DirectShow cant index. To index the source you have to use ffms or dg tools.

[soehest]

Hi all :-) I am having some trouble when using the one click encoder. I am adding two sources (.vob) and when starting the queue one of the jobs will fail at source detection.

http://eth0.dk/images/megui-sourcedetection.jpg

A work around is to send entire queue to worker 1 but this will probabaly not give the quickest encodes, and is kind of annoying if having a huge queue and i forget to reassign the workers ;-) My guess is that megui is trying to use two files at the same time. Is there a workaround for this behaviour?

Best Regards

[Famille_CB]

DirectShow cant index. To index the source you have to use ffms or dg tools.

First of all : thank you Sharktooth.

Secondly, I want to explain something : the files I want to encode with MEGui come from Sony Vegas through a Frame-Server called DebugMode : http://www.debugmode.com/frameserver/).
I know it's not a real file, it's a virtual one; but it's OK when I use "Script Creator" of MEGui.

I'm not sure of the word I have to use. When I use the script creator one window appear :

If I click "DirectShowSource" I have no issue. It's not file indexing perhaps but it works perfectly. I just want to know how can I use "One Click Encoder" with my frame-server.
"One click Encoder" wants to file index my file, it's not the good way perhaps.

Look like you ran out of memory. Try using SetMemoryMax(value) with a reasonable value (and decrease it to lower value if crash is still occurred).

And lower --rc-lookahead value. 60 is high enough, 250 is just waste of memory for nothing. Also --merange above 32 is useless too.

Do you understand any thing?

See you later...

[Hiritsuki]

Look like you ran out of memory. Try using SetMemoryMax(value) with a reasonable value (and decrease it to lower value if crash is still occurred).

And lower --rc-lookahead value. 60 is high enough, 250 is just waste of memory for nothing. Also --merange above 32 is useless too.

Thank you, but my memory have 12GB enough to run this, I don't know why 2074 well but 2085 error with MeGUI lastest beta version.

BTW, at first is x264_64(64bit) and error than MeGUI auto trun it to x264(32bit)

[Zathor]

I know it's not a real file, it's a virtual one; but it's OK when I use "Script Creator" of MEGui

Your file type is not supported by the OneClick encoder as it cannot be indexed or the audio extracted. So please use the script creator way.

[the_weirdo]

Thank you, but my memory have 12GB enough to run this, I don't know why 2074 well but 2085 error with MeGUI lastest beta version.

32-bit applications can only use about 2-3 GB, regardless how much memory you have.

Did that script work well with x264 r2074 32-bit?

[Famille_CB]

Your file type is not supported by the OneClick encoder as it cannot be indexed or the audio extracted. So please use the script creator way.

OK. I'm a little bit sad but...

Thank you for your answer.

[JoeH]

@Zathor, I use the same workflow as Famille_CB: create an AVI using DebugMode FS from Vegas, then encode with MeGUI. I use the Script Creator.

I wanted to mention this because it actually affects the feature request I made a little ago about being able to mux in external subtitles and output a Blu-ray structure (TSMuxer) using the One Click Encoder. Looking more carefully at the One-Click Encoder, maybe what I was thinking of would be more adapted to the AutoEncode dialog box, which already (I believe) supports external audio and external sub files (although I haven't used it much).

[Hiritsuki]

32-bit applications can only use about 2-3 GB, regardless how much memory you have.

Did that script work well with x264 r2074 32-bit?

No, I just say with 64bit will error on last version now.

ps. MeGUI x264 error will change the 64bit to 32bit.

[the_weirdo]

No, I just say with 64bit will error on last version now.

ps. MeGUI x264 error will change the 64bit to 32bit.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. From your log, you're using 32-bit version of x264 and with that extreme settings, you ran out of memory (as 32-bit x264 can only access 2-3 GB RAM).

You should enable 64-bit mode of x264 (in Settings) and try to run that script again. If there's any error when running 64-bit x264, you should that log here (not the log with 32-bit x264).

Whenever I change or create a new script in the avs script creator and save it, MeGUI tries to reopen EVERY preview window from avs files I have created during the recent program session. I have this issue for a long time so I guess it is a known bug? Will this be fixed any time?

Also I was wondering why the preview window does not use the actual video size on opening video sources in the avs creator. For 720p and 1080p content the preview window is way bigger than my screen resolution (which is 1080p), making it very difficult to navigate. When I press the [1:1] or check the preview- button, the windows size seems to be correct, but I lose some of the buttons. See this picture:
http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/ginact94/thumb/megprev.png (http://www.imagebanana.com/view/ginact94/megprev.png)

OS is Win7 x64.

Hey guys,

I have re-written the bitrate calculation class in C++. I mostly used the same variables and functions the C# one uses, but I did quite a few restructuring to accommodate my needs. eg I don't use the full VideoCodec/ContainerType classes. My question is do I still have to release under the GPL? I was thinking to go LGPL for the bitrate calculation class.

Why I did this? I just wanted a standalone bitrate calculator. Now, I can write a simple command line program that uses the class(for use in conversion tools) AND a GUI program too. Oh did I mention portability too?

The problem is the Prerending. I used it only one time in the past and it worked.

Please post or upload the log file. You can find it in the MeGUI\logs folder.

[kalehrl]

I've been using megui for quite some time now and I find it very versatile and powerfull.
I mostly encode in h264 mkv format and there is one thing which is bothering me.
When I encode at a target size of 700MB, my encodes come out as 696MB so there's 4MB missing.
When I encode in xvid avi with AutoGK, my encodes are bang on 700MB or 699MB.
What could be causing this little problem in megui?

Thank you very much for the feedback. I am not aware of this issue and cannot reproduce it. Please describe the steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks for your quick response Zathor. I guess I was just "lucky" before and the problem does not always show up when you're forcing it.^^
However, I think I have found a way to reproduce it. At least it's working on my system now every time:

1) Startup MeGUI
2) Open Avisynth script creator
3) Have a custom made script, there are lots of possibilities here. What seems to work best to reproduce this bug is create a script with NO resizing filter enabled. If you don't have any, create one with no resizing filter (checkbox disabled under Extra Setup), save it and close MeGui. Now restart MeGUI, open Avisynth script creator and select your script if not already preselected.
4) open your source file, it does not matter which indexer has been used
5) Press Preview
6) Give your avs file a custom name, f.e. test1.avs
7) Save it and close Avisynth script creator
8) Enqueue your avs script in the video encoder, codec and settings doesn't really matter. You don't need to encode anything either, but the job has to be in the queue for at least once while Megui is running. CLOSE the video preview of the job if it is still open.
9) Go back to Avisynth script creator
10) Open a 2nd video source, this has to be a different one than the first
12) do the very same as in steps 5-8, name it test2.avs f.e.
13) Open the Avisynth script creator for a 3rd time.
14) Do not open any file, press CONFIG on your Avisynth profile and edit it.
15) Now enable the resize filter, activate it by tipping the checkbox on the Extra Setup tab.
16) Press Update, then press OK

The very moment the editor of your custom script closes, MeGUI SHOULD reopen the preview windows of the two jobs (test1.avs & test2.avs) you created before.

I tried this three times in a row now. And every time the first two video previews showed up again. Hope it works for you, too.

Once again I am not aware of the issue and cannot reproduce it. I also have an 1080p display (+W7 x64) and 1080p content will be displayed correctly. Also I can see all buttons when clicking on 1:1. Do you have something special (e.g. dual screen, ...)?

Yes I use a dual screen setting indeed. But I also use the medium text size (125%) in Windows. Maybe that's the reason. This is the preview window of a DVD source which is way bigger than the video resolution:

I do not know the answer to your GPL/LGPL question but please be aware that the M2TS calculation is broken in MeGUI.

I wasn't trying the M2TS calculation anyway. I publish my code under the GPLv2, but it isn't functioning correctly. Anyone interested please see my thread here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1530998

up :thanks:

I tried to do manually, without oneclick or autoencode: Prerendering-job works.

I queued Video Encoding, then I queued audio encoding and when both finished I muxed manually with mkvmuxer in Megui

However I have renounced at K-frame chapters, cleanup job and every other automatism of Onclick/Autoencode :(

So the problem is the job list created by OnClick/Autoencode

The very moment the editor of your custom script closes, MeGUI SHOULD reopen the preview windows of the two jobs (test1.avs & test2.avs) you created before.
I can not reproduce this to 100% but I am able to get at least one wrong video preview. I have fixed that in 2055 and maybe this fixes your second window as well.

Yes I use a dual screen setting indeed. But I also use the medium text size (125%) in Windows. Maybe that's the reason. This is the preview window of a DVD source which is way bigger than the video resolution:
No time yet to look into this issue.

The changes between the stable and the current development build are quite small. But stay tuned for a real change coming soon. But soon in my time frame means very likely several weeks if not months - but a preview will be available a little bit sooner.

Thanks a lot for all your hard work on MeGUI. We really appreciate it. The improvements have been great.

[luke83]

What kind of functionality do you need/expect?

The Oneclick bug solved. If I remember it would have been solved in 2054 version :)

[poisondeathray]

Would including qtaacenc or qaac as audio encoding options be difficult to implement? The recent listening tests linked in the audio subforum and hydrogenaudio seem to favor quicktime aac these days

[Zathor]

The Oneclick bug solved. If I remember it would have been solved in 2054 version :)

Development build 2057 is already available since two weeks or so. You only need to select the development update server in the MeGUI settings.


And I decided to release a preview build of OneClick v.Next as it will take a lot longer than expected to finalize it. But I would like to hear your feedback if it is developing in the desired direction.

xxxx improved OneClick encoder:
- added subtitle control (including delay, language, name, forced/default flag)
- enhanced audio control (added delay, language, name)
- AVS files as video input supported
- every OC job will be stored in a unique working directory
- added option to select default audio/subtitle languages
- added option to select default working directory
- remember "Show Advanced Options" setting
- folder as input supported (in progress!)

[Rat Killer]

Is there currently or is there planned a method for adding multiple jobs to the queue? IE I have a group of files that all process the same via the one click encoder, can they be added all at once or only one at a time?

For recorded TV episodes, the one click encoder now work very well indeed using a profile, just would like to add files in batches.

Also, is there a way to tell one click processor which indexer to use? I have dgindexnv in stalled and it works great with h264 video but for tv episodes that come from tivo in mpeg2 format, nv has LOTS of problems and is very unstable. Has been for many iterations so I just don't use it for mpeg2 content. Normally I have to rename the licence file so meGUI thinks its not installed in order for oneclick to not use it. Could I just define an avssynthprofile for mpeg2 files and use that to force dgindex or ffmsindex? Pointers on how to do this would be very helpful.

[teddg]

I'm getting an error message from megui when using the AVS script creator. Upon loading a d2v file, an error message says "...[plugin].dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." as it tries to load avisynth plugins. This repeats through a bunch of plugins and then MeGui crashes.

Avisynth and the plugins work fine by themselves - tested with ffmepg and MPCHC. The errors started after wiping my hard drive and a fresh reinstall.

It is planned.

Have you already reported that issue to neuron2 (DGIndexNV developer)?

[Rat Killer]

Thanks, look forward to the new features. Nice to know I am not missing a better way just because I don't know how.

I did report a previous problem where encodes using dgindexnv were comming out 2x the correct length and that got fixed but since then its very unstable with mpeg2 files. IE when encoding a batch of mpeg files, I'll get exception not handled in dgindexnv errors every few hours. Redoing the same file passes fine but the error comes back and shuts things down again on a later file. Using dgindex or ffmsindex runs for days without problem. Trouble is, I cannot reproduce the error in the same place on the same file.

Thanks again for all the hard work on MeGUI.

[Zathor]

I have updated the above mentioned preview build. No new features - just less bugs.

[Amateur]

I typed this in for the thread search and haven't seen it requested as a feature. My suggestion would be to have a built in screenshot ability to take a still image of whatever is in your preview window. maybe from the preview window you can right click the image and have a menu appear where one option is "take screenshot" and that gives you the option to save that particular frame onto your computer in whatever format you want (jpeg, png, etc.). I guess have the default name of the picture come up as the exact frame number but of course you could change the name to whatever you want.

This would just be much simpler than what I currently do which is prntscrn and open it in paint then crop down to just the preview window.

Please let me know if this is a good idea or if you've already thought of it but decided to leave it out for a particular reason


(side note: is there a way to have a side-by-side screenshot taken? either have two frames next to each other where left frame is before and right frame is after filters? or just one frame where left side of frame is the before and right side of frame be after and I guess a line down the middle?)

[Zathor]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded from the stable build to the development build, currently running 2057. I have the following problem: when I load an avisynth script, MeGUI automatically picks up the script name for output name, but now the option to insert custom output name is often greyed out. In other words, it often happens that it is not possible to specify custom name for the output other than the name of the avisynth script. It is not always like that, but I was not able to determine any pattern as to when this happens. Am I missing something or is this an actual bug?

EDIT: This also sometimes occurs with the stable build 2050.

[sake42]

please
make Megui support 10Bit encoding

[alter4]

New preview build with some fixes and new features:

[CODE]xxxx improved OneClick encoder:
- added subtitle control (including delay, language, name, forced/default flag)

For this thank you very much!!! Just what I need.

I typed this in for the thread search and haven't seen it requested as a feature. My suggestion would be to have a built in screenshot ability to take a still image of whatever is in your preview window. maybe from the preview window you can right click the image and have a menu appear where one option is "take screenshot" and that gives you the option to save that particular frame onto your computer in whatever format you want (jpeg, png, etc.). I guess have the default name of the picture come up as the exact frame number but of course you could change the name to whatever you want.

This would just be much simpler than what I currently do which is prntscrn and open it in paint then crop down to just the preview window.

Please let me know if this is a good idea or if you've already thought of it but decided to leave it out for a particular reason


(side note: is there a way to have a side-by-side screenshot taken? either have two frames next to each other where left frame is before and right frame is after filters? or just one frame where left side of frame is the before and right side of frame be after and I guess a line down the middle?)

any chance of this becoming an option in a future build? or am I the only one who would want this?

For me really, batching is the most important thing. If I could point to a directory which has lots of .avs scripts, and then choose a setting for them all (vid/aud) and then do "one click" and choose there mp4/follow-settings-of-profile, and have them all enqued? That'd be SO helpful... I mean, Over past 2 days I've put ~150files to encode... Each file say it take... 5-7 seconds to put there...~1050 seconds... that's like, lets say 20 minutes of just mind-numbingly doing just that operation... Christ...

I just tried the new oneclick features and it failed. The same process done the conventional way in MeGUI works fine.

Would be Awesome if it could take audio from same .avs file, or like, have a separate folder of .avs or audio files specified for it.

[nibus]

Sometimes I'll come back to check my encodes, and a queued encode will be processing at a ridiculously slow rate - like .03fps. If I close MeGUI and open it again, and restart the job, it will resume at full speed. But why does this happen? I've noticed it started happening when I upgraded to DGDecNV 2041 but I don't know if that is the cause.

[Danguard]

Hello,

I'm Using the One Click Encoder and DGIndexNV and can't find a way to tell him to use the various DGDecNV commands (Nvidia deinterlacer and so on)
Ex (i'm using MeGUI core v2060):
What i have after he create the AVS file is:
DGSource("D:\Rips\CG\1x03\umibjh2w.lob\VTS_07_1.dgi",fieldop=0)
And there's no way to change it
For my source i would need to use something like:
DGSource("D:\Rips\CG\1x03\umibjh2w.lob\VTS_07_1.dgi",fieldop=1, deinterlace=1)

Am i missing something or it's impossible yet?

It is impossible yet.

At least the first part of you request is now inlcuded.

New preview build with some fixes and new features:

xxxx improved OneClick encoder:
- added subtitle control (including delay, language, name, forced/default flag)
- enhanced audio control (added delay, language, name)
- AVS files as video input supported
- folder as input supported
- embedded VOB subtitle support (IFO must be available)
- every OC job will be stored in a unique working directory
- added option to select default audio/subtitle languages
- added option to select default working directory
- remember "Show Advanced Options" setting
- added option to specify the indexer priority
- added option to define the project name settings
- the x264 target playback device settings will be used for resizing
- fixed AC-3 files will be re-encoded even if "if codec does not match" is selected

[LeXXuz]

Whenever I change or create a new script in the avs script creator and save it, MeGUI tries to reopen EVERY preview window from avs files I have created during the recent program session. I have this issue for a long time so I guess it is a known bug? Will this be fixed any time?



I can not reproduce this to 100% but I am able to get at least one wrong video preview. I have fixed that in 2055 and maybe this fixes your second window as well.


No time yet to look into this issue.

Sorry to report that the issue still exists with build 2065. It seems my problem is still different from the one you could reproduce. However, I learned to live with that. ;)



Another question: when I select "Blu-ray" as target device in the x264 configuration, the Ref-Frames are set to "3" and I can't set it any higher. According to Blu-ray specifications a max. of "4" Reference Frames is allowed. Is this a bug or is there a reason why it's set to 3?

[Hotpocketdeath]

Woah, major breakage with Build 2066.

Completely incapable of encoding the video. It acts like it starts but completely freezes after a few meg is written.

And, once it locks up, I have to go through the task manager and manually force MeGUI closed.

Had to roll back MeGUI to 2065 and x264 to 2106 to get things working again.

[Zathor]

I do not have such problems. Is anyone else having the same problems?

@Hotpocketdeath: As long as you do not use fullrange/range you can use 2066 together with 2119 (and 2065 with 2106). Please try that so that we can find out if MeGUI or x264 is causing the problem. If using the x64 x264 please try also to use the x86 one.

[AMED]

I'm not seeing any problems.

28 mins in to a encode with 84MB written.

i'm encoding with this
program --level 4.1 --preset veryslow --tune grain --crf 18 --deblock -1:-1 --output "output" "input"

Well, I'm at work now, so I'll need to check the settings when I get home, but I know I have fullrange enabled.

I am on 64bit, so I'll check that as well when I get home.

Hi, I am trying to use the batch proccessing option. I got a dir woth ~90 .avs files and 90 video files. I load it up, it loads it for like... 3-4 minutes, loading the ffdshow icons in the corner. *waits*. "do you want to proccess all 79 files in the folder?" I click yes... BOOM red fonts! And error-sound! "Incomplete configuration" "please select input and output file" ummm... I though I ... Umm.. wha? ok, let's see what goes next... I hit ok... If I hit "go" it still gives me the same, so lets click the "output file" it only lets me choose a file name, not a directory :(. I gave it a name, and it qued jsut 1 file... *sighs*

Anotehr problem is that it's only MKV, no mp4 option :(.

Anyway...

In that mode only files which have video & audio can be processed. Also the file type must be supported by OneClick.

Yes, that’s the desired behavior. After the file has been preprocessed the next file will be queued. The reason is that you do not need so much temp space on the HD that way.


Anotehr problem is that it's only MKV, no mp4 option :(.
What feature do you miss for mp4?

[DarkT]

Sorry, no log - I'll redo it and then up the log.

As to the behaviour, well, does it mean I have to be there each time and give them all names? that defeats the entire purpose of BATCH proccessing... Ya know? Much more usefull if it just adds a prefix like "muxed" to them all and does it all automatically... Removing human intervention is kinda key for me, Yesterday night I've put ~89 files for encoding... Still is being encoded... Which is great, no intervention by me besides the initial queing... If that can be removed, I'd be SOOOO much happier.

What feature I miss for mp4? what do you mean? there's no mp4 there... I mean, I can't choose mp4... As to why(if that's the question) there's plenty devices whcih do not read mkv, but will read mp4. Without the ability to make it all mp4 it's also not useful for me anyway.

Anyway, I already tried creating a mouse-macro, didn't work... I suppose I could try again but... I'v'e seen a few people wrote interesting batch-scripts, for CMD... which I might try and adapt... Dunno... Or wait for stainless - or you guys... In the meantime it's by hand I suppose...

Anyway, thanks for all the work and stuff ;).

It is already working that way. All of the later files are processed automatically.

What feature I miss for mp4? what do you mean? there's no mp4 there... I mean, I can't choose mp4... I do not create MP4 files myself but when you select MP4 in the OneClick profile (and maybe removing the MKV option) you files should end as MP4 files. If not please post the log after you have selected one file in the OneClick tool.

[Zathor]

when I select "Blu-ray" as target device in the x264 configuration, the Ref-Frames are set to "3" and I can't set it any higher. According to Blu-ray specifications a max. of "4" Reference Frames is allowed. Is this a bug or is there a reason why it's set to 3?
Thanks for the report. I have to look into that. In the meantime please choose a slower preset.

EDIT: Fixed in 2067.

Is it possible to add more features to the --zones option?

Currently there are only bitrate adjustments available.

Specifically: deblock, psy-rd, me, merange, and nr (noise reduction) would be great.

http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#zones

[Starworx]

Well, I'm at work now, so I'll need to check the settings when I get home, but I know I have fullrange enabled.

I am on 64bit, so I'll check that as well when I get home.

How did you solve it?
"--fullrange on" doesn't work like described in the changelog. "--range tv" works but "--range pc" not. I don't know if it's a problem of MeGUI or x264.

How did you solve it?
"--fullrange on" doesn't work like described in the changelog. "--range tv" works but "--range pc" not. I don't know if it's a problem of MeGUI or x264.

Assuming your input is PC range, you'll need to enter "--input-range pc" to Custom Command Line, otherwise x264 may detect your input as TV range and perform a range convertion from TV to PC. However, I tested x264 CLI without --input-range parameter and it did convert range but didn't hang like with MeGUI, so the problem seems to be a MeGUI bug.

It seems the problem because MeGUI don't know how to parse this line:
[swscaler @ 0033a180] full chroma interpolation for destination format 'yuv420p' not yet implemented

[Hotpocketdeath]

How did you solve it?
"--fullrange on" doesn't work like described in the changelog. "--range tv" works but "--range pc" not. I don't know if it's a problem of MeGUI or x264.

--range PC caused my lockups. I had to switch it over to auto to get things to work properly.

[the_weirdo]

Revision 2068 does fix the hang with --range pc. However, the better solution would be add input-range option to x264 configuration dialog because x264's range auto-detection is still not accurately (it may detect PC range as TV range and perform a range convertion, causing wrong result).

EDIT: Or maybe MeGUI should auto add "--input-range pc" when users choose --range pc. Because when a user chooses --range pc, he must be aware that his input is PC range, I think.

[titlis]

How about adding advanced option taps for audio encoder?
Just like x264's
It would be very nice to allow users to tweak settings for their taste

[XMEN3]

Is there any chance that MeGui will support DGAVCDecDI?
Or is there a way to replace DGDecodeNV with DGAVCDecDI?

As it is now, when I try to open a h264 .ts file in file indexer, MeGui seems to use DGAVCIndex, which is old, and cannot demux multiple audio streams at once.

And when I index the file "manually" with DGAVCIndexDI.exe (creating a .dgi file), and try to open it with AVS Script Creator, I get this error:
AviSynth scrip error:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "<path to megui\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll"But that is natural since I don't have a Nvidia GFX card.

If there currently is no way to use DGAVCDecDI in MeGui, consider this a request :)

Thank you.

me too

Without ArcSoft decoder you can't decode DTS Express, not supported by libav.

[keith70]

I never dealed with that. Do you know a good way to convert an english only C# project to multi-language?


Here is an example:

put all UI string into an xml file like this:
lang.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<lang>
<core>
<details>
</details>
<gui>
...
<MainForm>
...
<mnuFile>File(&amp;F)</mnuFile>
...
</MainForm>
...
</gui>
<plugins>
</plugins>
<util>
</util>
</core>
<packages>
</packages>
</lang>

then add a language static class to the project:
Lang.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;

namespace MeGUI
{
static public class Lang
{
static private XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

static Lang() //load language xml file into memory
{
doc.Load("lang.xml");
}

public static string getText(string s)
{
return doc.SelectSingleNode("/lang/" + s).InnerText.ToString();
}
}
}


and then,for example,the "File(F)" Menu in MainForm.cs
...
// mnuFile
//
this.mnuFile.Index = 0;
this.mnuFile.MenuItems.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem[] {
this.mnuFileOpen,
this.mnuFileImport,
this.mnuFileExport,
this.mnuFileExit});
this.mnuFile.Text = Lang.getText("core/gui/MainForm/mnuFile");
...


And so that if we change the lang.xml file,we change the UI language.

@cybersharky
Sometimes that happens when you randomly seek through the video when using FFMS, it doesn't affect the final encode since you won't be randomly seeking when encoding.

If you go forward a few frames and then back a few frames the blocks usually go away.

I wouldn't call this a MeGUI bug.

There are two update servers which will be synced every ~15mins or so. The update server where I have no direct access to has the old builds available and therefore you are "forced" to downgrade. Just ignore it for now. Should be hopefully fixed soon. There is nothing I can do at the moment.

keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 /qpmin=10

These settings need to be fixed.

For 24fps content, they should be keyint 240 / keyint-min 24

But that is only valid for new presets. Existing ones will not be changed.

The keyint values will only be changed based upon the source fps if the BluRay/AVCHD/DivX-HD target playback device is selected. For other devices you have to change the keyint values in the preset on your own.

It doesn't happen every time I use it.
It happens only when I add several jobs in a oneclick queue.
When there is only one, no problem.
The reason I use oneclick is that it is possible to queue a lot of files which is, I believe, the main purpose of oneclick.
I didn't get these errors with earlier versions.
The problems started from 2080 I believe.
Did you have a look at those logs I sent you on pm?

Yes, I had a look at your log but that one error message is unspecific. Please download the new build with the improved OC mode (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163399) and try to reproduce the problem. If it is not possible to reproduce the problem there it has been fixed and if the problem is still there the debug version should generate a better error message.

It makes sense to me to adjust the keyint values to match the framerate (ie: keyint 240 for 24fps content) as a general rule of thumb, rather then just for specific devices.

[Zathor]

For some device a specific keyint value is required and will be forced (or lowered to be in spec). For all other devices you are free to choose whatever you like. But in one point you are right. It may be better to remove the direct keyint values in the settings and replace them with a factor. E.g. keyint factor 10 = fps * 10, minkeyint factor 1 = fps * 1.

[hello_hello]

This is carried over from a different thread but I thought I'd reply here for Zathor's attention. Just a minor thing:

If you want you can disable ITU by disabling "Options\Settings\Use ITU Aspect Ratio". It is available since a few builds. ITU values are used for 720x576/720x480 sources only.

Awesome!! Thank you. No more forgetting to change the resize method!
I'd not looked in MeGUI's options for a while so I'd not noticed that.

When disabling the "use ITU aspect ratio" checkbox though, I did notice an erroneous tooltip you may wish to remove. The tooltip for "use ITU aspect ratio" says "Error: No update available."

[hello_hello]

No doubt this isn't an MeGUI bug, but as I let MeGUI update ffms2 today and immediately started having problems I thought I'd post about it here in case you might want to remove the update until the problem is fixed.

I posted a bug report in the FFmpegSource thread and someone else has previously reported the same problem.

2097 [Bitrate Calculator] improved M2TS calculation assumption.
Warning: it is better but also not correct


I find it ~1,700 kbit/s high for a bd-25 (over 100% on ImgBurn)

The calculator, on core 1888, for the same bd-25, I add 375 kbit/s to the calculation, with a result of 98% in ImgBurn. A bd-9, adding nothing, results in 98% as well.

I've been using 1888 soley for that purpose and the results have been VERY consistent. (BTW, it was Zathor's advice, way back in the thread, to revert to that build, in response to my query re the newer overshoot results)

[hello_hello]

I just updated MeGUI on two different computers running XP SP3 (.Net Framework 2.1.21022). I was running core version 2087 and it appears the update took it to 2098. In both cases MeGUI would not run after the update. Instead I got a popup message saying MeGUI has encountered an error and needs to close. In both cases deleting the MeGUI.exe file and restoring the backup allowed MeGUI to run again.
Sorry, but I don't know if there's any way to supply more details regarding the problem.

[alexVS]

Hi All!
I used megui version 0.3.5.0 for some time. (x264.exe x32 core 114 r1924 08d04a4)
Now new available version is 2050
I'm confused about the version numbers.
Does megui changed so drastically? Seriously.
And why all the dots gone? :)

I haven't bluray yet, but I have videos encoded with megui (bluray profile) on my HDD. Are those videos (encoded with 0.3.5.0) still compatible with bluray or there can be some troubles? Shoud I immediately switch to 2050?

I replaced in the current x264 package the vfw4x264.exe with this one:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162656
As it is only a test at the moment I have not changed the source so vfw4x264 is still being called therefore I have renamed avs4x264mod.exe to vfw4x264.exe.

I find it ~1,700 kbit/s high for a bd-25 (over 100% on ImgBurn). The calculator, on core 1888, for the same bd-25, I add 375 kbit/s to the calculation, with a result of 98% in ImgBurn. A bd-9, adding nothing, results in 98% as well. I've been using 1888 soley for that purpose and the results have been VERY consistent.
Sadly the specs for muxing MT2S (with tsmuxer) are not known and therefore there are no correct open sourcebitrate calculators available. Also the old bitrate calc changed in 1898 was not correct as it just added an overhead of 6% to all values resulting in way wrong values in several calculations. If you are able to do a correct calculation - please share it. The only other option is to add an option to switch between both wrong calculations in MeGUI if this is required by someone.

I can not reproduce the problem. Are you able to upload your whole MeGUI directory (exclude update_cache)? I would like to test it with your data.

[disklib]

MeGUI 2098 just updated x264 to version 2145. In the x264 config dialog - "load defaults" now creates the following:

program --crf 20 --min-keyint 25 --output "output" "input"

Am I correct in thinking the "min-keyint 25" component shouldn't be there?

[hello_hello]

I've been keeping an eye on this thread for other reports of the same problem but so far it does seem unique to me, only it happens using 2 different computers. Admittedly though the two computers are about as close to being a single computer as two computers can get. Aside from the CPU they have identical hardware and the Windows/Programs installation from one was originally imaged and installed on the other.

I just updated MeGUI on one PC again. This time it also updated x264 and ffms (although I'd already reverted to the previous ffms version manually) and MeGUI still won't run. Here's the entire MeGUI folder excluding the update cache (after it's been updated so it's not working). MeGUI.rar (http://wikisend.com/download/232934/MeGUI.rar) (97.8MB)

Yes, it should only be applied to the final command line as then the FPS of the source is known.

[kalehrl]

I've noticed that when I use 1.3.2 xvid_encraw with MeGUI, the speed of encoding is much slower than when using the default one.

This is the encoding speed using default xvid_encraw:

http://i40.tinypic.com/5mg4so.png

The same file encoded using the command line gives the same speed:

Tot: enctime(ms) =142663.00, length(bytes) = 40368645
Avg: enctime(ms) = 12.01, fps = 83.25, length(bytes) = 3399
I frames: 44 frames, size = 12101/ 532456, quants = 3 / 3.23 / 4
P frames: 4203 frames, size = 5910/ 24842104, quants = 3 / 3.31 / 4
B frames: 7627 frames, size = 1965/ 14994085, quants = 5 / 5.60 / 6

Everything is fine here. The speeds match.

However, when I use 1.3.2 xvid_encraw the speed is like this:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2mwuix4.png

The same file encoded using the command line pointing to the 1.3.2 xvid_encraw in MeGUI folder gives this info:

Tot: enctime(ms) =94058.00, length(bytes) = 42714577
Avg: enctime(ms) = 7.92, fps = 126.24, length(bytes) = 3597
I frames: 44 frames, size = 12993/ 571724, quants = 3 / 3.23 / 4
P frames: 4203 frames, size = 6522/27412859, quants = 3 / 3.30 / 4
B frames: 7627 frames, size = 1931/14729994, quants = 5 / 5.60 / 6

Instead of giving me around 125fps, MeGUI encodes in 56fps.

Could you please look into this and try to make MeGUI more friendly for users who want to encode using the latest xvid?
Latest xvid is much faster as you can see from the logs (126.24 compared with 83.25)

Thank you

[Zathor]

I've been keeping an eye on this thread for other reports of the same problem but so far it does seem unique to me, only it happens using 2 different computers.

Thank you very much for your report and the upload of your MeGUI folder. I was able to reproduce it. The reason for the crash is that I am using a function in 2095 which is causing the crash when .NET 2.0 SP1 (or older) is installed. It does not crash with .NET 2.0 SP2 or 3.x/4.x. I already fixed the problem and it will be in the next update (should be available in the next days). As a workaround you can update your .NET installation.

Thanks for the quick fix. It makes using MeGUI even more of a pleasure.
The only reason I install .NET at all is in order to use MeGUI but I didn't realize there was a .NET 2.0 SP2. I'll try to overcome my .NET aversion and look at upgrading it. I guess sooner or later I won't have a choice.....

A minor feature request, or a minor bug, whichever way you want to look at it.....

When opening a file (in my case an MKV) using MeGUI it offers to index it using ffms and gives you a choice whether or not to demux the audio. If however, the file contains no audio it's necessary to select the "no audio" option when indexing or MeGUI will fail to index the file as it first tries to attempt to demux the non-existent audio.
No big deal, admittedly, it's just necessary to remember to select "no audio" manually, but it'd be nice if MeGUI could be smarter than I am. :)

When opening a file (in my case an MKV) using MeGUI it offers to index it using ffms and gives you a choice whether or not to demux the audio. If however, the file contains no audio it's necessary to select the "no audio" option ...

"No audio" should be always preselected in such a case, but nevertheless I found the problem mentioned in 2106 with mkvextract.

2106 [File Indexer] fixed trying to extract audio from MKV files without audio when using the FFMS indexer
2105 [Audio Encoder] show the opening of files in the job progress window as FFAudioSource may need some time to index files
fixed crash when using DTS-ES with NicAudio
2104 [MediaInfo] fixed "File not found" error in the wrapper. Bug #3480347

[hello_hello]

Are you sure? I just tested this and for me with a video only MKV file the "no audio" option is preselected. Please upload the whole file indexer log file (as there is the media info of the file included).

Not that it's probably anything to worry about but MeGUI 2106 is definitely defaulting to "all audio" for me using my little test MKVs, but the file indexes normally now and the issue I was having is gone. Here's the log file anyway:
http://wikisend.com/download/433176/logfile-12-01-29_05-29-57.log

"No audio" should be always preselected in such a case, but nevertheless I found the problem mentioned in 2106 with mkvextract.

Edit: I wrote a bit about MKVExtract and the way version 2103 seems to produce an error, but not long after I posted it I realized that's what you'd referred to regarding 2106. I'm having a very slow day.....

Thanks for the quick fix.

I add one more bug (I think). Sometimes, I get an error about conhost.exe. This is the software which manages the style of prompt windows in... Windows 7. I get this error when I don't run megui minimized; but not everytimes. When it happens and the next job is mux, mux doesn't work. Also I noticed that mux works again after some core updates, even if conhost.exe crashes.
However, I haven't any error running megui minimized, so it isn't a big problem ;)

Nothing. However, when it happens, I'll read and post it. At the moment don't care about it ;)

[Inspector.Gadget]

LAME needs to be updated once again, though the version number remains the same:

LAME 3.99.4
2012-01-30
Bundle compiled with Intel Compiler 12.1. (32 bit compile updated 20120130 to correct compiler options.)

[Zathor]

Thanks, uploaded.

[rtjnyoface]

I've not used megui in about 2 months or so. Have I missed an announcement about update servers or something? I have 2050 and it's saying I'm up to date. SF also has 2050 as it's latest update.

edit:NM, I just changed to the developer server for updates. All fixed...

[Zathor]

Interestingly the next "stable" build will be released soon. If no new problems arise it will be released likely during the next weekend.

[Poutnik]

Do you consider easier launching of AVS cutter before Interlace analysis of AVS creator ?
( for avoiding Interlace analysis of not used video parts, what can lead to improper analyzer suggestion )

[Zathor]

As I do not have much time for developing MeGUI I focus on fixing bugs/problems, implementing simple features and features which I need for my personal use (like OneClick). Your feature request does not fit in any of those categories and therefore it is unlikely that it will be implemented by me in the next time. But... of course I will commit a patch so feel free to create the required code on your own.

[neveja]

Hi all

1. Please, add the option "Quantizer for first pass" (select manually - 1...4) when 2-pass encoding XviD.
2. Show you how to properly use fourcc DX50 with two pass encoding Xvid? DX50 doesn't change.

Thanks in advance.. Sorry for my bad english

[locotus]

Don't know if I'm making something wrong, but when converting old
movies dvds to MKV with Megui, the ones with AR: 4:3, without any resize applied,
Megui changes AR to 3:2. No problem is source is 16:9, no matter if AR is 1.66, 1.85 or 2.35.

[kalehrl]

Instead of giving me around 125fps, MeGUI encodes in 56fps.

Could you please look into this and try to make MeGUI more friendly for users who want to encode using the latest xvid?
Latest xvid is much faster as you can see from the logs (126.24 compared with 83.25)
hi Zathor and sorry for the wrong information.
Latest 1.3.2 xvid_encraw is in fact 30% slower both when encoding via command line and with MeGUI.
The information about the speed of encoding via command line reported by 1.3.2 xvid_encraw is in fact wrong.
I compared the duration of encoding using a stopwatch and concluded that it is slower.
So there is actually nothing to change for you. :)
MeGUI reported real fps whereas 1.3.2 xvid_encraw reported wrong fps speed via command line.

[AMED]

Hi Zathor,

I was hoping for a few little fixups\improvements for the HD-DVD/Blu-ray Stream extractor window.

* Add tick box to use input folder for output
* Allow the whole window to be resized and also remembered on close.
* Allow the Feature(s) and Stream(s) boxes to be manually resized vertically within the window and remembered once the window is closed.
* Allow the Features(s) box to be manually sorted by name and duration, it sorts be duration by default which make encoding episode blurays annoying.

2) Correct. I checked the source code and the FourCC in the settings seems to be ignored in the processing.
1+2) I have no experience with XviD and no idea if this is the intended behavior.

* Allow the Features(s) box to be manually sorted by name and duration, it sorts be duration by default which make encoding episode blurays annoying.

By length descending is the way that eac3to outputs and assigns the F1,F2,F3 etc to the features so that cannot be changed without changing eac3to code.

I agree that this does make episodes difficult to process however I can't see how sorting this will help as there is no guarantee any other sort will determine the correct order.

Most will be in playlist or mt2s order but I have seen some which appear random.

Where there is a single playlist for all episodes you can use the drop down list for that feature to determine the order of the single episode features otherwise always have to start each episode from the menu on a blu-ray player to determine the episode lengths and therefore the correct order. This is of course impossible if more than one episode have the same length!

hi Zathor,

i would like to ask you to integrate the qaac encoder in megui. nero aac is great, i know, but the last listening tests and many users in the hydrogenaudio forum recomment the windows command line quicktime aac encoder.

http://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/

it is working with eac3to and is not only an alternative to nero aac, but also to flac! because qaac ia an alac encoder, too. - i think, a must have for megui :)

I would like to report a bug (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1558755#post1558755), confirmed by tebasuna51.
As request, is it possible to add MP4Box support in MeGUI to extract tracks from MP4/M4V containers?

Thank you.

[hello_hello]

A feature request.....

Almost every time I use MeGUI to index a file, I find myself wishing I could just run the job, rather than have to add it to the job queue and then run it from there. Which got me thinking it'd be nice if the file indexer also had a "run it now" button, which then led me to wonder if it'd be a fun idea to be able to hold down the shift key (for example) while hovering the mouse over the "queue" button (anywhere a queue button can be found) which would change it's function from adding the job to the queue to just running it.

[HeadlessCow]

There is an Autostart Queue option in the settings that probably does what you want.

[hello_hello]

I forgot it was there to be honest, but no that's not quite it.
I know it's only a minor thing, but it'd be nice to be able to autostart an indexing job, queue an encode, autostart the next indexing job.... that sort of thing. Being able to autostart by simply holding down the shift key when hitting the queue button (or something similar) would be a nice touch.... in my opinion.

[Alex_080]

That's more or less the same functionality like running the job immediately in a temporary worker, isn't it?

Thanks for the log. I tried to reproduce it but failed as I do not have a file with your specifications. Can you please upload a short part of the input file?

[Zathor]

It seems you are using an old mkvmerge build. Please verify that you are using 5.3.0.

[cengizhan]

There is a problem with one click encoder.

do not encode video option doesn't have any effect (it always encodes video to x264) if an avi file (xvid,ac3) is selected as input.

my target is a mkv file containing original video (xvid) and aac track converted from ac3.

[Zathor]

You should see that in your log:
"Don't encode video" has been disabled as at the moment only the source container MKV is supported

That will change in the future. It will be first introduced there:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163399

[cengizhan]

Thanks.

i have converted avi to mkv with mkvmerge. megui gave an error during muxing. but mmg.exe successfully remuxed encoded audio to input file which is also a mkv file converted with mmg.exe.

actually megui gives error during muxing jobs with some other cases like mkv files with audio and video only (no subs, no chapters).

[Zathor]

Please post the log and maybe try the new OneClick feature in the thread mentioned above.

Is not a problem with the ac3, seems a bug when only one cut is selected.

Here the problem is in the first job (cut), BeSplit finish ok generating the desired and correct "zzz_0_01.ac3".
The second job (join) is generated but not executed and any join file, like "E:\movie\Rip\Song 1\kh1w1tgi.5ee" in Aghora log, is generated.

If I request 2 cut's all work fine.

Seems MeGUI must check when only a cut is selected because a second job to join is not necessary.

Then, what do you think?
Is a problem related with OS (XP)?
Or with .NET version? (mine is 2.0)

[Kurtnoise]

Hi Zathor

I'm not sure if I should post here or somewhere else but, since I use MeGUI, I will write here.
Today I tried to do my first HD h264 mkv encode but it didn't go well.
I captured a DVB full HD recording in a ts file.

I extracted the audio and video using a HD Streams Extractor and got a mkv file which plays fine.
I then indexed it and tried to encode it using this script which I created with MeGUI:
LoadPlugin("D:\Programs\MeGUI_0.3.5_x86_WithoutInstaller_OfflinePackage\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("D:\Dreambox\movie\convertxtodvd\T1_Video - .mkv", threads=1)
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("D:\Programs\MeGUI_0.3.5_x86_WithoutInstaller_OfflinePackage\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=1)
crop( 0, 0, 0, 0)

Spline36Resize(1280,720) # Spline36 (Neutral)
LoadPlugin("D:\Programs\MeGUI_0.3.5_x86_WithoutInstaller_OfflinePackage\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium Noise

After 4.5 hours I got a file which stutters like crazy.
Instead of 25fps it now reports 50fps.
I also tried playing the avs script using MPC and there it also stutters. Please check the log.

Is a know issue of FFVideoSource with interlaced source.
Try open the mkv with DSS2 or DirectShowSource.

To be honest I have no idea. If it would be failing in the join part I could create a workaround but for you it is failing in the split part. Can you please try it with the OneClick debug build and send me the log? (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163399)

Don't worry. Maybe the problem is .NET 2.0.

Also I can't update MeGUI OneClick always crash with:

I'm getting this error.

MeGui encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed.
Reason: The File "....avs" cannot be opened.

Its stranger that there is no problem when using Video Preview! I mean its loading the avs normally but when i try to start encoding its shows me this error

You have extracted the files to a working MeGUI folder, haven't you? Otherwise you have to copy the three 7zip and zip dll files to your folder.

I mean its loading the avs normally but when i try to start encoding its shows me this error
Please post the content of the AVS or better the complete log.

[Vol666]

the avs its not an issue because i used the same script for my previous encode and it works fine....

I changed the video source using the same script and the problem came out...

there is no problem using virtual dub...

here is the log file

[tebasuna51]

You have extracted the files to a working MeGUI folder, haven't you?.

Yeah, I make something wrong.
Installed MeGUI OneClick and the Audio Cutter works fine now.
Thanks.

[Overdrive80]

Is possible include lagarith as lossless compress in megui??

Such request, would be cool to be able to specify DAR in mkv and/or mp4 container from megui. ^^

[Shevek]

I'm using the latest dev build 2117

The VobSubber included with MeGUI seems to be messing with the timings when extracting the idx/sub

Example:-

Here is a screenshot from BDSup2Sub showing the final subtitle from the idx/sub extracted using the MeGUI VobSubber tool:

http://i.imgur.com/bhVYf.png

Here is the same screenshot for the idx/sub extracted using VobSub Configure:

http://i.imgur.com/THN0p.png

Note the differences in timings. The second one is correct, the first one is actually after the last frame of video!

I have noticed this on 2 different PAL Studio Ghibli DVDs

EDIT: The versions of vobsub.dll located in my Windows\syswow64 dir and MeGui\Tools\vobsub dir are identical - both are version 2.0.23.0 dated 11/12/2002

http://i.imgur.com/JxDG6.png

[Zathor]

I have tried to reproduce it but in my tests the subtitles have been in sync. Can you provide us with more details about the movie (E.g. PGC number, angel number, ...)? Also it may be helpful when you upload the IFO and the created subtitle files.
But I fear that the problem is related to the different calls of vobsub and then nothing can be done from our side.

I've done some more investigations, there is definitely a difference in the .idx files - CELL 1 is identical but from CELL 2 onwards the timings in MeGUI's .idx are off (vobsub version on right):

http://i.imgur.com/RPoYI.png

It looks like the first time code in CELL 2 is doubling the last time code from CELL 1 instead of continuing.

All subsequent transitions (e.g. CELL 2 -> CELL 3, CELL 3 -> CELL 4 etc) are fine and continue from previous cell (again, vobsub version on right):

http://i.imgur.com/858H9.png

This seems to be peculiar to Studio Ghibli titles - I cannot replicate on other DVDs I have.

Could it have something to do with this option in VobSub Configure:

http://i.imgur.com/1RxNS.png

I also note that the MeGUI extract is not keeping the colors (again, vobsub version on right):

http://i.imgur.com/FyXX8.png

The colors problem is happening with all extracts, not just Studio Ghibli ones.

If you still want me to upload the ifo/idx/sub then let me know.

MeGUI 2112 (svn), resists shutdown.
Shuts down OK prior to any encoding, but resists after encode complete and standing idle.
Shutdown via hardware (powerbutton set to shutdown) and software eg "AMP WinOFF".

AMP WinOFF here:

Will shutdown via AMP WinOFF if "Forced Shutdown" selected in WinOFF options.

I'll leave this one to Zathor then!

[StainlessS]

By 'Resist Shutdown', I mean it will not close when instructed to do so by the OS prior to machine shutdown.
It closes just fine via menu and little 'x' button.

You can set the machine to shutdown on pressing the power button:

(Control Panel/Power Options/Advanced/When I press the power button on my computer: = Shut Down).

Or to Hibernate, Hibernate works OK, because the application (MeGUI) does not need to close to
allow Hiberantion, but it does to allow ShutDown.

On pressing the power button (on/off button), MegUI should close, which it does just fine if
no encoding has been done.

If you render either/or AAC audio : x264 elementary, it will not allow shutdown, either via hardware
(power button) nor by software (AMP WinOFF). WinOFF is a machine level auto shutdown utility to
allow shutdown/hibernation etc under user controlled conditions eg CPU usage drops below a certain
level for an amount of time.

If you set MeGUI to close on completion, there is no problem and all works OK, you can also set
WinOFF options to do a 'Forced Shutdown' which will kill the MeGUI instance and shutdown OK, but
that is really ignoring a problem in MeGUI.

You can easily test it out, config power button to shutdown. Run MeGUI, press power button,
it will shutdown.

Re-boot, run MeGUI, encode either audio/video/both and mux if you like, and when it finishes
and is standing idle, press power button again. You will see when you press the power button,
that MeGUI loses focus (Title bar dims) but refuses to allow shutdown. If you now manually close
MeGUI, and press power button again, it shut down OK.

It is not a major problem and can easily be gotten around, but it should shutdown when instructed,
there might good reason to prevent shutdown when busy, but it looks like this persists after encoding
is finished and until MeGUI is closed.

Tested on both 2112 and 2117.


PS, I'm not a Windows programmer, but am aware that VB has a

SubRoutine Form_Unload(Cancel Integer)

Routine, called before a form/program closes and if you set the 'Cancel' int, it will prevent
closure (and shutdown), presumably there is something similar in the OS API's.

Try downgrading Nero to 1.3.3.0. I see this "The pipe has been ended" error all the time with Nero 1.5.4.0 and some 5.1 tracks. The other thing you can try is changing the target bitrate. For whatever reason, that sometimes works to avoid the bug in 1.5.4.0. But 1.3.3.0 is always solid.

[Lyle_JP]

I have noticed a "bug" (or at least a new behavior) in 2117 x64. In previous builds of MeGUI, the individual workers could be assigned different thread priorities, and those priority settings stayed put for each worker. But now, when one job ends and another begins in worker 1 (for example), it will often adopt the higher thread priority setting of Worker 2 when starting the new job. Especially if that value (for worker 2) was the one most recently changed.

If this is intentional for some reason, I'll live with it, but I really liked the way it worked before.

Is Nero required anymore with QAAC, Fhg AAC & FFmpeg AAC as available options?

@Lyle_JP yes going to 1.3.3.0 did resolve it for me.

2078 [Progress Window] changed priority will be kept during the whole application session. Feature request #3445179

Before this change every new worker/job started with the default priority set in the MeGUI settings (not the recently used priority!). I will have a look at the change if it can be easily moved from a global to a worker setting.

[Zathor]

Is Nero required anymore with QAAC, Fhg AAC & FFmpeg AAC as available options?

At the moment faac and neroaacenc are available in MeGUI. I will not add a third AAC encoder. If you want a new AAC encoder I need more information as I am not using AAC myself and I have no time/interest to read/investigate myself.

So which new encoder should replace which old encoder and why? Does the new encoder can be distributed free of charge, can the complete encoder be added to the MeGUI update server (that is the part of Nero which annoys me), can the encoder be run from CLI? Which CLI parameters must be available in the GUI? ...

QAAC need QuickTime installed (or at least a a big part of it).
Fhg AAC need WinAmp installed (or at least copy some dll's from it)
The command line ecoders for both are free soft but the full package can't be download from the uptade server.

So ffmpeg(libavcodec) is the only AAC encoder that fits the bill? Was trying to locate some cli docs specific to this encoder but couldn't find them. Have tried it in handbrake on two samples and it worked well.

[cengizhan]

I wish to see qaac which is better than nero aac. This is his web site: https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki

It depends on quicktime component but you dont have to install it. Putting required files in to QTFiles subdir is enough.

i know you can't distribute quicktime but i will appreciate it if you put an option to select an external encoder with command line options.

Yes, 31 files 40.7 MB. Without license to distribution.

but i will appreciate it if you put an option to select an external encoder with command line options.
That is a good idea, but only experimented users can use that.
And experimented users always know other methods to encode aac (eac3to, Foobar2000, command line, ...)

As I do not have much time for developing MeGUI I focus on fixing bugs/problems, implementing simple features and features which I need for my personal use (like OneClick). Your feature request does not fit in any of those categories and therefore it is unlikely that it will be implemented by me in the next time. But... of course I will commit a patch so feel free to create the required code on your own.

It was rather design flaw report than a feature request,
something like if a car allowed opening the doors
only after starting engine....

Unfortunately, I do not have coding skills.

Same thing happening here. (since update to core v2127)
Crash at the end of encoding or writing phase.

[Zathor]

I am trying right now to reproduce the problem. Is it reproducable for you, too? Or does it crash randomly?

:confused:

Hi Zathor, Crashed right after it finished (or so i believe) the muxing stage.
It definitely doesn't crash randomly but always at the end of a stage.

Regarding Sourceforge, i've been trying to bugreport the crashes there, but i cannot post, the website simply replies with "XSRF Attempt Detected!" or "No group_id was chosen. "

[Overdrive80]

I had posted bug in sourceforge with ticket ID 3515735. No its randomly, ever end encoding.

I had trying downgrade to 2021 from update server but launch error. Any idea?

I had trying downgrade to 2021 from update server but launch error. Any idea?

Do you mean downgrade to 2121? (it's the version listed for me using the development update server) but either way I get the same error, so....

You should be able to restore an older version from the update cache, or delete the "MeGUI.exe" file and remove the backup extension from the "MeGUI.exe.backup" file (wherever MeGUI is installed). That should take you back to the version you were previously using. For me at appears to be 2122.

Was there ever actually a version 2121 which was released?

PS I've only run one encode using version 2127 but it was crash free. (XP, .Net crap 2.1.21022, AviSynth 2.5.8.5)

[Betsy25]

EDIT 2 : Manually reverting core to *ANY* version, crash remains, but....
Manually reverting to mediainfo_0_7_54 -> NO more crashes ! (even with latest core2127) :)
Link of interest : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3515515&group_id=86862&atid=581181



Well, i've done a backup from the whole MeGUI folder just in case, and manually installed the older megui-core_2122.zip ... I still had the crash exactly at the same location. The last line in the log file i saw flashing up before crashing was related to MediaInfo. I'll try a small encode and put up a screenshot.

EDIT: Screenshot :


v2127
http://s16.postimage.org/6jugu37wx/2012_04_07_232127.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/6jugu37wx/)

http://s13.postimage.org/v50rni0lv/2012_04_07_232523.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/v50rni0lv/)

@Zathor, don't get fooled by the 0% progress bar, the testfile is cropped really small, the crash happens at the end of the writing stage.

[Overdrive80]

I am in same point than Betsy25. Actually, i am using megui 2106 with mediainfo update to 0.755 for testing it.

@hello_hello I had installed megui 2127, and updater tool detected update to 2021, that is a downgrade system file, isnt it?

[Zathor]

I have no time the next days to check for and fix the problem. Therefore I force a downgrade of some MeGUI components.

[hello_hello]

@hello_hello I had install megui 2127, and updater tool detect update to 2021, that is a downgrade system file, isnt it?

Yeah but you said 2021 while your screenshot shows 2121. I assumed that was a typo and you meant 2121 (which is the version I see when I try to run an update) but I do wonder whether there was a version 2121 released, hence the error when using the update server to downgrade.

Anyway, is anyone experiencing these crashes muxing to MKV rather than MP4 (MeGUI 2127)? I always use MKV and haven't had any crashes so I thought I'd give an MP4 theory a shot. What's happening for me is when I switch to MP4 I get an error message at the muxing stage (although it doesn't crash). I tried reverting back to an older MediaInfo version but the problem persisted. Reverting back to the previous version of mp4box fixed it.

---[Error] [8/04/2012 7:54:12 AM] Inner exception: null

Maybe the problem I just found is unrelated to the crashes being reported but maybe the problem is partly MP4Box related. As I'm still on XP and .Net 2 maybe the result for me is an error rather than a crash.... or maybe I've found an unrelated problem with my setup.

I use MKV, so it's easy enough (even if I was experiencing crashes at the muxing stage) to use MeGUI to encode the video and mux the audio manually with MKVMergeGUI when it's done (well I usually do anyway).
Rather than downgrade everything, maybe manual muxing might also be a temporary solution for others.

[Overdrive80]

I had encoding video with megui 2106 with last mediainfo and the result is crash.

Betsy25 has found error, with version 0.754 of mediainfo there isnt problem. Therefore isnt megui´s bug.

Byeeee

[Zathor]

Thanks for the reports. It really seems that mediainfo was the root cause. I have updated the servers to 0.7.56 which brings those fixes:

x #3515515, MPEG-4: crash with MPEG-4 container + H264/AVC video stream
x #3515393, MPEG Audio: infinite loop (freeze) with some files

Please report back when you still have problems.

[Zathor]

2129 [AutoEncode] enabled option to set the audio language
2128 [Audio Encoder] NicAudio will be tried for DTS-MA decoding
when DirectShowSource and FFAudioSource fail

[TECK]

Lots of crashes for me also on latest SVN with AVS Script Creator and One-Click Encode, had to go back to the old 2115 version I had saved. I'm retesting everything with latest SVN and mediainfo 0.7.53, I'll report back if I experience crashes similar to the ones reported by other users.

Edit: I get the following crash report:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: MeGUI.exe
Application Version: 1.0.2129.0
Application Timestamp: 4f841e1e
Fault Module Name: DGDecodeNV.dll
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.2041
Fault Module Timestamp: 4e8e3d5b
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 00006e44
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

When the error occurs a small popup shows many times with the following text on it: CuTxtReadme()
I'm guessing on the text as this popup open and closes extremely rapid, until I kill MeGUI.

I have a valid DGDecodeNV license.

[Zathor]

Any errors in the MeGUI log? Please upload the file.

[TECK]

Zantor, the new version of dgindexnv (2041-1) you released fixes the crash, thank you for your great work.
Running the latest SVN versions, including mediainfo.

There is one error left that I had for a while but did not really bothered me.

.h264 stream had been extracted by mkvextract. Regards

[TECK]

Are both errors reproducable for you? I am asking because for me everything is fine.
The first one related to Video.dgi occurs every time and I had it for a while. As I said, it does not really bothers me as I usually close MeGUI and delete the file manually... but since I got into a little debugging, I wanted to report it. :)
For the MkvInfo error, I did not noticed it until I upgraded to 2129. I was running before 2122. To tell you the truth, I did not checked the logs for a while and I did a clean Windows install few days ago.

So far I got 2 movies showing both errors on 2129, I'm going to encode another one and let you know.
Edit: I see you released 2138, that is a big jump. :)

.h264 stream had been extracted by mkvextract. Regards
That's not a MeGUI error, is some poorly encoded movie you probably downloaded from the Internet.

[Overdrive80]

That's not a MeGUI error, is some poorly encoded movie you probably downloaded from the Internet.

Not, I had tried with my rips too, i hope that it may be problem of mkvextract. Because extract stream with 0 bytes size

Snapshot of mkvextract:

Could you also confirm if the same happens to you with mkvextract?

[TECK]

Do you get an error if you extract the streams with MeGUI HD Streams Extractor? I use it all the time and never had an issue.

[Overdrive80]

Do you get an error if you extract the streams with MeGUI HD Streams Extractor? I use it all the time and never had an issue.

HD Stream extractor uses eac3to, and its uses mkvmerge for extract tracks of matroska files. I work directly with mkvextract that is mkvtoolnix´s part.

The .flac generated by the command line is correct no matter the WARNING and ERROR sended by flac.
Seems the lenght expected by flac is incorrect.

We have to options:
- Ignore the ERROR reported by flac and don't delete the output.
- Add to command line the parameter --ignore-chunk-sizes
always recommended for STDIN, but with the problem of the inexistent progress info.

Could all audio tracks extracted in a megui audio queue have the job number appended to their extracted output? audio_1, audio_2 etc to stop the below issue.

Makemkv rips all dvds to the same name for me title00.

I always output my completed files to the same directory. Each video comes from their separate video directories.

Due to the naming being the same title00 when extracted it appears the extracted AC3 audio files are overwriting each other.

Therefore the error I get is that the first movie has in its final output the muxed audio track of the last video in queue and all subsequent encodes fail to encode as Megui deletes the unnecessary files after a successful encode from job1 leaving no audio file for the other jobs to processes.

hi Zathor
Could you please have a look at this log.
I cannot index an mp4 file unless I disable audio.
I extracted the audio with yamb and when I ty to encode it, it gives this error:

Zathor,

I have sent you a pm about a file which megui fails to convert flac track to aac.

[Zathor]

2144 [Settings] cosmetics
2143 NeroAacEnc + DGIndexNV are now disabled by default as external dependencies are required.
In order to use them, they have to be enabled in "Options\Settings\External Program Configuration".
2142 fixed problems with Turkish characters (e.g. in the File Indexer)
2141 [OneClick] added some changes for the upcoming next release of the OneClick tool
2140 [Update] if a component is missing no jobs can be started
2139 [DGA/DGI Indexer] added job status message during processing

hi Zathor
Could you please have a look at this log.
I cannot index an mp4 file unless I disable audio.
I extracted the audio with yamb and when I ty to encode it, it gives this error:
It seems that no decoder for your file is available. What happens when you use the indexer?

I have sent you a pm about a file which megui fails to convert flac track to aac.
Please post the full log file also.

Any idea what's causing this?

Hi Zathor, Since 2098, can not select the invisible option.


So I fixed the MeGUI interface size...........

hope to give you helpful recommendations.

The .flac generated by the command line is correct no matter the WARNING and ERROR sended by flac.
Seems the lenght expected by flac is incorrect.

We have to options:
- Ignore the ERROR reported by flac and don't delete the output.
- Add to command line the parameter --ignore-chunk-sizes
always recommended for STDIN, but with the problem of the inexistent progress info.

Thanks, I have added --ignore-chunk-sizes to the command line.

Thanks, but for me it looks already OK (like in your second screenshot). Nevertheless I can apply your patch - can you please upload the patch file?

[Zathor]

2147 [OneClick] fixed problem encoding WMA files
2146 [Update] improved handling of missing files in the MeGUI x64 build
2145 [Flac] added --ignore-chunk-sizes to the command line

[Shevek]

I get an update and downdate loop forth and back between rev. 2144 and 2147.

mine's stable on 2147

[LigH]

Stable now too. Might have been a very brief issue while Zathor was still managing the server?

[Zathor]

I have only direct access to one of the update servers. The other will update itself within ~15min but during that time it may happen that a downgrade is forced (as the servers are choosen randomly).

[LigH]

Then I caught the async moment... :o — Should be in-sync now. :)

[rapscallion]

@Zathor....did you not see my post # 2474, prev pg?

There appears to be a problem with the latest x264.

[Zathor]

I do not have a problem with the recent x264 in 2pass mode (using the 64bit x264 build)

[rapscallion]

I'm using 32 bit ver.

With bat file I had encoded without problems although reports warnins about non-standards sub-chunks:

The wav files are created with adobe premiere.

[tebasuna51]

Hi, i am encoding wav file 24 bit depth but megui reports an error. I think that is because there isn´t option --no-warnings-as-errors
...
The wav files are created with adobe premiere.

I can confirm the problem with all 24 bits WAV file.
Work fine with 16 bits.
Is not a problem with sub-chunks.
Is not a problem with NicAudio (WavSource also don't work)
Is not a problem with flac parameters.

Tested with the same .avs and flac parameters with Wavi work fine and send this log (differences with MeGUI log in green, in red wavi messages):

[Zathor]

So what to do? Add

[tebasuna51]

Is not a solution.

Maybe the current MeGUI STDOUT is not compatible with flac STDIN.

[Zathor]

Is that maybe related to --ignore-chunk-sizes ?

[Zathor]

I think I found the differences between BeHappy and MeGUI. MeGUI is sending a WAV Header and BeHappy is encoding it as a RAW stream. I have changed that for a debug build - please test it an report back:
http://www.mediafire.com/?smam02q5aos1ydf

I also removed --ignore-chunk-sizes so please test your other problematic file as well.

[Overdrive80]

I test with your fix and work fine. If encoding wav file using megui, CRC32 code is different to flac file created from the command line. I do not know if it is of interest to you.

Yes work also here.
Of course sending raw data the --ignore-chunk-sizes, and --channel-map=none, is not needed.

And, yes, send raw data is the method I use by default with BeHappy. But work also sending wav header (is easy change the method without recompile, we only need change flac.extension).

Well, the different behaviour remain but we have a working solution.

Thanks Zathor.

Why there is no BlackmanResize resizer in Resize Filter list of AVS Script Creator?

[LigH]

The selection of resize filters might be limited to scaling functions provided by AviSynth 2.56; Blackman and Spline64 were introduced in 2.58, Sinc in 2.60.

[DrPhill]

Hi there, I have a problem adding audio to video in MeGUI.

The betting is that I am doing something wrong, or that my system is broken somewhere - but I wonder if you could help me zoom in on the error, please?

Problem: I can produce an MP4 file, but it has no sound.

I have used two methods:
- video from avs file* and audio from mp3
- video from avs and audio from avs file (sole line "return directshowsource("AileinDuinn4.2.mp3",audio=true)") as suggested in the Wiki (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI/FAQ#How_do_I_import_audio.3F)

I am beginning to think this is me jinxing things...... surely it cannot be this difficult

*Script is now only:
video = BlankClip(length=300, width=640, height=480, pixel_type="RGB32", fps=24, fps_denominator=1, audio_rate=44100, stereo=False, sixteen_bit=True, color=$000000)
return video.Info().ConvertToYV12()



Version? MeGUI 2112 (svn)

Any help gratefully received,

thanks

[LigH]

To get an MP4 file containing both video and audio streams, you would:

add a job to convert the audio script (either a separate one or the same with the video), if you don't have already a format compatible with the MP4 container
add a job to convert the video script (either a separate one or the same with the audio)
add a job to multiplex the yet separate video stream and audio stream to a new, combined media file (Tools » Muxer › MP4 muxer [Ctrl+5])

You did not document if you executed the third step. More details about your workflow, please.

Thank you for replying, and apologies for not supplying all the information.

I enter the names of my audio and video sources n the 'Input' tab of MeGUI, hit the 'Auto Encode' button, and the output is a file named testAudio-muxed.MP4 so my guess is that I have done the multiplexing. The file size is large enough.

So I try to follow your three-step instructions:
After I have entered the source video (.avs) and source audio (.avs or .mp3) on the ''Input' tab (first two steps). For step 3 I open the MeGUI MP4 Muxer dialog window.
But I cannot enter the names of the 'intermediate' (.MP4 and.AC3) files as they have not yet been produced?

Maybe I am missing something here?

[LigH]

If you run the three steps manually, you will indeed have to finish the first two jobs before you can create the third and select the existing intermediate files.

I have no real experience with one-click features, usually I need custom solutions anyway. So I can't confirm if there is any issue with MeGUI in Auto Encode mode.
__

AC3 in MP4 was not very usual until the last year. There might be players or software which don't handle it properly (AC3 = Dolby Digital is not part of the MPEG specification, therefore it has to be stored as "private stream"). The current development version of MeGUI should contain an MP4Box which can create a proper MP4. A current MediaInfo should detect this audio stream.

[DrPhill]

Running the three steps manually still gives the same result - a silent video.

I just tried my video with VLC. Does VLC support MP4 with AC3? (VLC mentions AC3, but for all I know there may be a differnce between AC3 raw support and support for AC3 embedded in an MP4.) (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.php?cat=input)

If so then my video has not been composed correctly - the latest version of VLC plays my video silently. Alternately, which player can I get (preferably free) that definitely does support this so that I can 'prove' that my video is at fault?

Sorry to ask - I do not know if I am asking the right questions here.... and I want to narrow down the nature of the problem (could be me and my ignorance of course).

[LigH]

A current VLC certainly supports AC3 in MP4. It just might prefer digital output (S/P-DIF: Coax or TOS-Link) which you might not have connected to an external decoder (A/V receiver)? Configuring VLC is a little elaborate...

MPC-HC supports it as well. Here you may try to disable (uncheck) the internal MP4 splitter to leave the splitting to Haali, and you can quite easily configure the internal audio decoder (double-click) to whether or not use S/P-DIF output, or disable (uncheck) the internal AC3 decoder to leave it to a DirectShow decoder you installed (e.g. ffdshow) which you may have to configure separately.

[DrPhill]

I thank you for that explanation, but it all sounds very complicated. I think that I may have got myself to a place I do not want/need to be. Let me backtrack and explain what I am trying to do, and maybe you can tell me if MeGUI is the way to go.

I have some videos that I have been creating (AVs scripting) now I want to add some audio (WAV or MP3) to them and produce them in a generally useful format. Someone on Doom9 suggested MeGUI was the tool to use.

But if it is so hard to find and configure a player for MP4/AC3 then surely this combination of formats is not a readily usable one? Most people just fire up whatever default player is linked to MP4...... I am lost, I think.:o

[LigH]

Not yet. :)

First check if the result should be technically correct, using MediaInfo and VLC's internal information about the opened media file.

And then, VLC has visualization plugins, so you should be able to see if there is audible sound included and decoded at all, and might just be put to the wrong outlet.

[StainlessS]

@DrPhill
Here is MediaInfo for Windows, you want the GUI version.

OK, thanks for the support.....

VLC recognises two Streams - Video H264 and Audio A52 (aka AC3) - so that at least indicates (proves?) that the MP4 is built correctly?

Off to download MediaInfo.
......................................................
Downloaded MediaInf: not sure what I am looking for. It recognises both streams (AVC video, AC3 audio).
.......................................................
The 'audio' menu in VLC has no enabled menu items. Is that a hint?
......................................................
Ah..... playing the original WAV gets me an audio spectrum, playing the MP4 gets me nothing. It might then be that the MP4 has an audio track that ie not playable or has zero volume?

[LigH]

You can http://forum.doom9.org/images/buttons/edit.gif your own replies and add content, instead of replying yourself...
__

MediaInfo can export its analysis to a text file which you can post here in a CODE block, or in a "pastebin" website. So we might find suspicious details (e.g. unusual bitrates or sampling rates an AC3 audio stream should not have).

The "disabled" VLC Audio menu content is possibly an interesting part of the issue.

I am not certain if the spectrum visualization may be disabled while audio passes through digital output, and is therefore not decoded by VLC.

[DrPhill]

I got out of the habit of editing replies in discussion fora because it can make subsequent comments look odd. I tidied up the four above into one.

I have attached example.txt as a flat text file output from MediaInfo.

The disabled VLC menu is a bit of a red herring - the menu is only enable while the clip is playing and I had the clip on pause initially (it is only 10 seconds or so long). If I hurry I can enable the spectrum. However, that is more interesting because while playing the clip it has no audio 'spectrum', whereas the source audio file does.

Oh, I notice that the text file requires approval - in case it takes to long I will paste a code block.

[LigH]

There may be two problems:

a) 384 kbps for only 1 channel is overkill; simple consumer DVD compatible A/V receivers won't decode that, maybe even some PC software decoders may be confused. 192 kbps is often enough for stereo, and mono will be fine with 128 kbps already.
b) the 44.1 kHz are another reason why it may fail, DVD and Blu-ray are based on 48.0 kHz, you should consider either a sampling rate conversion — or leaving the audio as MP3.

[DrPhill]

If I reduce the frequency of the audio in Audacity (from 44.1KHz) I can reduce the kbps, If I increase the frequency to 48kHz I increase the kbps. I am not sure what I need to do. Should I reduce the frequency to 24KHz, or 12Khz, or even 6Khz (ie power-of-two fraction of the 48Khz)?

I am taking up a lot of your time here, and I am immensely grateful for your help, but would understand if you are finding this a chore....

I can export the audio as mp3. I will try that now.
Using mp3 as audio input file gives MP4 with no audio stream.
Using an AVS 'helper script' to load the MP3 give exactly the same frequency (44.1 KHz) and rate (384Kbps).

Should I change the output of Audacity to a lower bitrate? I can do so easily, but you said that 48Khz was more normal?

[LigH]

Frequency and bitrate are rather independent for lossily compressed audio like AC3 or MP3. The bitrate is related to the encoding quality in such cases. As example, you can encode both 44.1 and 48.0 kHz (stereo) WAV to e.g. 192 kbps; and you can encode to e.g. 128, 160, 192 or 224 kbps (keeping less to more of the original quality).

Don't refer to Audacity when the output format is PCM WAV, because that is uncompressed audio, here they are directly related.

To achieve DVD/Blu-ray/etc. player compatibility, you should resample the sound to 48.0 kHz, increasing the sampling rate. You can do that inside MeGUI. Decreasing the sampling frequency to a fraction of this value would filter the high frequencies off, making it sound dull; and you would break compatibility again.

And you should reduce the encoding bitrate to a sane value. 384 kbps is a "conservative" value for 5.1 multichannel audio sources; stereo or even mono audio does not need so much bitrate for a similar quality.

By the way: Why is your audio stream mono, at all?! What strange kind of source do you have?

[Shevek]

As a test, are you able to encode the AC3 to repeat the mono track in both L&R instead of C and see if that makes a difference in VLC?

OK, I understand, done. I now have 128Kbps, 48Khz, 1 channel AC3. Still no sound from the clip.

By the way: Why is your audio stream mono, at all?! What strange kind of source do you have? I recorded myself playing whistle. Mono seemed appropriate. I have remixed the WAV to stereo to see if that helps.

- I now have 128Kbps, 48Khz, 2 channel AC3. Still no sound from the clip.

As a test, are you able to encode the AC3 to repeat the mono track in both L&R instead of C and see if that makes a difference in VLC?
Not sure how to do that - will take a look.

[Shevek]

If you've done this:

I now have 128Kbps, 48Khz, 2 channel AC3.

there's no need to do what I suggested...

Can you post the MediaInfo output from the 2 channel AC3?

EDIT: Please use QUOTE instead CODE to put MediaInfo's

[Shevek]

Another thing to test would be to use an MKV container instead of MP4.

MKV has supported AC3 for much longer.

[StainlessS]

Does an alternative audio format work (other than AC3)?

EDIT: Maybe put it up on MediaFire, to test on another system.

[DrPhill]

Does an alternative audio format work (other than AC3)?

I have not tried another format in MeGUI. I did not realise that I could.

I do not wish to diminish the patient help that you have been giving (above and beyond anything that could be expected of you), but is it really this hard to take a video (AVS Script, even m2v) and an audio track (MP3 or WAV) and wind the two together to make a video with sound? I mean no disrespect to MeGUI - it seems fast clear, and crash free software - but I only wound up here because someone told me that it would do what I needed.

For example, I can just add both my m2v video file and my mp3 audio to 'windoze live movie maker' and ''crash bang wallop" I have something that works. Now I hate to use Microsoft stuff if I don't have to, but the alternatives seem non-existent. True the output from 'movie maker' is non-optimised (and non-portable), but if needs be I can wedge it into YouTube and let YouTube converters worry about it.

A lot of the problem is probably my profound ignorance of a world of competing standards. Maybe I am just not up to this?

Please, please, please do not take this as any form of criticism (except maybe of my self and my expectations).

EDIT:EDIT: Maybe put it up on MediaFire, to test on another system.
I can put any and all bits up for test - I have not used MediaFire, but will look at that. Alternately I could host stuff on my website. The script is easy to cut and paste, the audio is quite small, and the finished MP4 is not that large..... what would you like?

[Zathor]

I agree that it should not be so difficult as it seems to be right now. Please try the OneClick tool in MeGUI. Add your input (video) file, select the audio file and have a look in the config tabs. The container format can be changed in the OneClick profile configuration (default is MKV). If you still hear no audio when using that tool, then please upload the complete log so that we can have a look at it.

But I am still not sure what target device you have. Do you need to play it only on the PC? In that case I suggest to use MKV as it has less restrictions.

Aaaaaah! Success. So a different container works. As for target, well whatever - I am mainly doing this for my own delight, but to share with friends too, and to learn a bit about video (a very tiny bit of what there is to learn, it seems). If it works on my windows pc then it should work on others, and that should cover most of my audience. If I want to share it more widely then I will let YouTube distribution/conversion handle it for now. (I use SourceForge developer web as my webServer, and videos would be an unfair bandwidth use).

I noticed that MeGUI seemed a lot faster converting these files than other technologies, as well as being the first to work with audio. Can I use a command line version? That is my preferred final modus operandi. If so then it probably will do all I need except editing AVS scripts. Cool.

I will research the restrictions of MKV, but I can probably live with them. Certainly for now.

So a BIG thankyou to all who have been helping me add sound to my videos. Your patience is astounding.

WMP does not recognise MKV (will not load the files even). No Big deal for my own consumption, and for sharing I can use the Tube. Interestingly I can package the video as an MKV into an MP4 container (I think that I have the terminology right) and WMP will play the video, but not the sound. VLC plays either just fine.
Is there another audio format that would be worth trying?

MeGUI cannot be used from a command line, but when you have a loom in the log files you will see all commands and can create your own batch script. Additionally you can have a look at the next version of the OneClick tool:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163399
It has improved a lot compared to the stable OneClick tool so e.g. batch processing is possible which may also help in your case. But... this new OneClick build may be unstable.
Also there are other tools out there and some of them may be more helpful for your use case.

WMP does not recognise MKV (will not load the files even).
Try installing the Matroska Splitter. WMP should then able to play the file.

Scripting is good too (actually what I was going to do with commandline option and bat files), and maybe portable (I am planning on decamping to a Unix OS in the autumn)((I assume MeGUI runs on Unix?)).

Try installing the Matroska Splitter. WMP should then able to play the file.

I have no particular yen to run WMP - it is would only be of interest if windoze users could use my output. Or are you saying Matroska is an alternate container? I get a bit lost still.

Perhaps I could be a little cheeky and ask for your opinion on formats. I am processing MPG from my camera merging with JPG from the camera. I use an AVS script to create an intermediate video (currently m2v). This was chosen based on the toolset of the moment. If I use MeGUI to do this transformation, and then MeGUI to join the intermediate videos and to add sound, is there a better intermediate video format than m2v?

[StainlessS]

DrPhil,
Zathor only mentioned WMP because you said it did not work. MatroskaSplitter allows you to use WMP to view.
Also, your AC3 problem might well have been as simple as your not having an AC3 codec.
EDIT: Although VLC should have been able to play via internal codec. NOTE, VLC seems to just fail
if it does not have an internal codec to suite, and does not fall back on DirectShow, whereas eg
GOM Player and MediaPlayerClassic-HomeCinema seem to fall back to Directshow if they dont have suitable internal
codecs.

Maybe you just even caught the moment when rev. 2150 was uploaded. Try again.

[Zathor]

No, the xml file for the x64 build was faulty. Btw - someone is really using the x64 MeGUI build :)

[Zathor]

hi Zathor
Could you please have a look at this log.
I cannot index an mp4 file unless I disable audio.
I extracted the audio with yamb and when I ty to encode it, it gives this error:

Neither FFAudioSource or NicAudio can open those files. I have muxed your aac file with MkveMerge to an MKA file and then at least DirectShowSource was working for me. Also it should work when you use other audio decoders like BassAudio.

[unreal666]

The selection of resize filters might be limited to scaling functions provided by AviSynth 2.56; Blackman and Spline64 were introduced in 2.58, Sinc in 2.60.
Why might be limited by AviSynth 2.56?
To last AviSynth 2.56 release already almost 7 years. Can it is time already forget about it?

[LigH]

If someone implemented the missing functions, it will. Might be as simple as adding a few entries in a list; Zathor may know.

[hello_hello]

I discovered an ffms problem while discussing encoding with MeGUI in another thread. I've only tested this with AVIs containing MP3 audio.

Before ffms was updated (r683) I was having no problems with indexing AVIs and MeGUI would create a script for encoding the audio. After the ffms update (2.17) AVIs which use a delay for the audio stream don't seem to index properly if the audio is selected while indexing. The log file says "Indexing Error: Audio Decoding Error".

I've indexed an AVI successfully, opened it with VirtualDub, applied an audio delay and resaved it as a new AVI for MeGUI to encode but the new version produces the error so I assume it's not a problem with the audio stream as such. I reverted back to ffms r683 and the AVI to which I'd applied the audio delay could be indexed again.

[Kurtnoise]

Remux your avi file to mkv and try to reindex it...anyway, it's not megui fault but more ffms. So, report your bug there.

[defalopii]

Is that possible to make MeGUI Distributed Encoding like in RipBot264 ??

If you like feature why not just use ripbot? Personally variance is better to me gives better choice.

[defalopii]

MeGUI is more advance but more simple than RipBot
I can setting the encoding as i want, and MeGUI also compatible with many Windows OS without error or need to install or tweak or touch anything like RipBot that make RipBot more complicated actually

[hello_hello]

Feature request(s):

Is there any chance, one day MeGUI might leave the world of mod16 behind and move to mod2 like some other encoder GUIs?
When it comes to anamorphic encoding, mod16 as the only resizing method doesn't bother me much, and it's fairly easy to open MeGUI's script to change the resizing to something else anyway, but when it comes to square pixel encoding.....

Is there any reason why MeGUI couldn't also have an option to suggest resolutions other than mod16? Could we have a drop down box next to the current "suggest resolution" check box which tells MeGUI to suggest mod16, mod4 or mod2 instead? Or maybe an option which allows you to select a width using something other than mod16 increments, and the "suggest resolution" function could follow accordingly?
Calculating a mod2 height would allow for more accurate resizing and is more important when resizing HD video as anamorphic encoding is rarely used. Currently I get around it by using a resize calculator and manually enter the dimensions rather than let MeGUI suggest one, but it'd be nice if MeGUI could do it rather than use an external tool.

On the subject of resizing..... Many media players are fairly dumb when it comes to MKV/MP4 aspect ratios.... well they simply ignore them, so the next best option would be to resize the width "up" when encoding (720x576 -> 1024x576 for example). MeGUI won't allow this, so once again I use the resize calculator rather than use 720x400 or whatever MeGUI suggests. Which takes me full circle and back to mod2, because 720x404 would be a more accurate resize.

Cheers.

PS Would it be a little more intuitive for new users if the anamorphic "encode non mod16" option was called something like "encode mod2" instead? Given the option will actually encode mod16, even if it doesn't enforce it.

[Zathor]

Is there any chance, one day MeGUI might leave the world of mod16 behind and move to mod2 like some other encoder GUIs?

The whole resizing part was written long time ago and I never touched it. To be honest I am not very familiar with advanced resizing and would need to read about it first and currently I do not have the time to do it. If you can help me with that part and specify exactly what need to be changed the changes are higher that it will happen sooner.

[Zathor]

I am going to remove DGAVCDec from MeGUI as it is old, outdated and causing problems. The only reason why it is still included is the handling of TS and raw h264 files which FFMS is not able to open. Therefore I plan to mux TS/264 files into MKV and use than FFMS. As a side aspect I can than use the same function to extract audio/subtitle files from other files (like AVI/MP4) when I mux them into the MKV container. Any hints/objections?

Remember than fake audio delay in AVI container (garbage before first valid header) is ignored with this procedure.

Therefore I plan to mux TS/264 files into MKV
That's the way I do it when dealing with HD h264/TS files.
I extract video and audio using HDStreams Extractor but I have to choose rawh264 data which is not default option.
If I leave the default option - MKV I get problems which result in a stuttering video.
Then I mux rawh264 video with audio in a MKV file and all is good.

DGAVCDec has saved me a few times when encoding interlaced h264 streams (e.g. Sherlock season 1 & 2). When using FFMS on these sources the output would flicker and glitch.

[hello_hello]

The whole resizing part was written long time ago and I never touched it. To be honest I am not very familiar with advanced resizing and would need to read about it first and currently I do not have the time to do it. If you can help me with that part and specify exactly what need to be changed the changes are higher that it will happen sooner.

If you mean can I write software code, then no, but when it comes to calculating resizing I don't think it's particularly difficult.

The way I understand it, it's just a matter of using the source video dimensions after cropping and the desired width after resizing to calculate the new height. I'd have assumed that's how MeGUI does it now, only it rounds it to mod16.

For instance if you were take a 1280x720 video, crop 4 pixels from the sides and a total of 176 pixels top and bottom, then re-size to a width of 704, it'd be:
(544/1276)*704=300, giving you 704x300

When it comes to resizing DVDs as square pixels, it'd be the same process, except I assume you'd just add the pixel aspect ratio into the equation. So if it's 720x576 16:9 (non-ITU), and you crop 4 pixels from the sides and 108 from the height, then resize to a width of 704:

(468/718*1.422222)*704=323, so you'd probably round it to 704x324

I've always been fairly impressed with the way AutoGK resizes and wondered why no other GUI has ever implemented the same method. I've contemplated trying to use similar resizing when creating Avisynth scripts with MeGUI, but I've never got around to learning the process exactly.
The effective upshot of it though.... AutoGK lets you specify a width and cropping etc, then it gets AviSynth to calculate an exact height. The height is rounded to mod16, the width is increased by the same percentage, then AviSynth crops the width a second time to give you the final width you requested. That way, being restricted to mod16 dimensions has never stopped AutoGK from producing encodes with virtually no aspect ratio distortion. If mod2 is acceptable though, there'd probably be no need for AviSynth to crop a second time and with AVISynth calculating the height, there'd probably be no need for MeGUI to calculate one, mod16 or otherwise.

The downside would be you'd probably lose the ability to mess with the output aspect ratio manually, although I guess it wouldn't be too hard to delete the resize formula from the script and manually add back the cropping or desired resizing in it's current form. You can't do that using AutoGK, so if I want to deliberately change the aspect ratio of the video, I do it at the input stage by decoding via DirectShow and using ffdshow to resize first, but MeGUI makes changing the input aspect ratio easier.

AutoGK even has an option to add 4:3 cleverness to the script which, if the video dimensions are close to 4:3, gets AviSynth to automatically crop to give you a 4:3 output display aspect ratio, so you won't be too likely specify a width of 640 for example, and find your output is 640x464, or something similarly annoying. The same thing could possibly be done when the output is close to 16:9.

Now you've got me thinking about it again, I'll have to have another look at implementing the type of Avisynth resizing AutoGK uses in MeGUI scripts, but as I just happen to be encoding a 4:3 video using AutoGK at the moment, if you're interested, here's what an AutoGK script looks like. I disabled autocropping and specified a cropping of 14 pixels from the left, two from the right, and an output width of 640. The option to force a 4:3 aspect ratio is enabled, so the final output will be 640x480.

cropclip = autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=0,threshold=0,samplestartframe=0,
leftadd=14,rightadd=2,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)
fixed_aspect = 1
c_width = width(cropclip)
c_height = round(height(cropclip) / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(c_width)/float(c_height)
input_par = (input_par > 1.4) || (input_par < 1.25) ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = 640
out_height = round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=0,samplestartframe=0,
leftadd=14,rightadd=2,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)

PS Zathor, did you per chance see or have any thoughts regarding my post #6689 (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1584436&postcount=6689) and adding frame rate conversion to MeGUI's script when indexing using ffms2 (as it does when decoding via DirectShow)? Something like: FFVideoSource("E:\video.mkv", fpsnum=25, fpsden=1)

I was having audio sync issues when converting some old video, which it seems contained duplicate frames that weren't being handled correctly until I added the frame rate conversion bit. While possibly not the ideal way to convert variable frame rate video, at least you could. Would it have any adverse effect when converting constant frame rate video or is there only an upside?

Cheers.

The Chapter Creator appears to be assuming a framerate of 25fps when creating x264 QP files regardless of the actual framerate.

MeGUI version 2153.

For example, I selected frame 7540 for a chapter point in a file with a framerate of 23.976fps. The Chapter Creator correctly listed a timecode of 00:05:14:481 (the same as the Preview window). The resulting QP file had frame 7862 selected instead.

7541 / 23.976 = 314.48 seconds
7863 / 25 = 314.52 seconds

The next I-frame should have been at 16576 but was actually set to 17284.

16577 / 23.976 = 691.40
17285 / 25 = 691.40

After update to mediainfo 0.7.59 a few days ago (no other update), I got this error on the 2nd pass of a 2 pass Blu-ray encode :

This happenned about 7 min into the encode. I tried it again from scratch and this time it happenned after 3 hrs of a 8 hr encode.

Is Mediainfo tied into the encode in any way and could cause this type of error (never happenned before btw)?

Is possible add support to handle lagarith fourcc on x64 build of megui...the following script works only using megui x86 after installing lagarith on the sistem:
AVISource("losless.avi", audio=false).AssumeFPS(24000,1001)

With megui x64 the follwing pops up.

Using vdub x64 and avisynth x64 the script loads fine.

:thanks:

[LigH]

@ rapscallion:

MediaInfo is not involved in the x264 encoding algorithm.

Are you sure you created the MB-tree statistic file in a 1st-pass with the same parameters (where necessary) as the 2nd-pass, especially with the same movie? This error message rather looks like the MB-tree stats file does not belong to the video source used for a 2nd-pass.

@ XMEN3:

The problem is not the MeGUI, because the MeGUI is only a user interface for AviSynth.

If you don't install a VfW codec for Lagarith, you won't be able to decode Lagarith encoded AVIs via AviSource() in AviSynth. But it may have to be registered for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. I am not sure how to ensure this...

Anyway you are the expert, I'm not.

[LigH]

I am not really the MeGUI expert either, but I believe it uses only the 64 bit version of x264 because it gives a good speed gain, but avoids the 64-bit version of AviSynth because it is neither complete nor reliable. Most AviSynth plugins only exist as 32-bit DLLs. Therefore it uses a "bridge tool" to pipe the video from 32-bit AviSynth to 64-bit x264. And therefore the support of the Lagarith VfW codec has to be checked with a 32-bit VirtualDub.

When I start MeGUI after previously using several workers, the status window does not show for all of them.

How to recreate bug:
1. Use 2 workers for different tasks.
2. Close MeGUI and restart it
3. Start another task using 2 workers.

A video of what I mean is here:

Hi Zathor,

I have just updated to the latest 2157 build and have noticed that the one click encoder folder mode doesn't use more than 1 worker.

1. Make sure 2 or more workers are created (i have 3 workers setup).

2. Open click encoder, load in a folder of .mkv (i'm testing with 19 mkv files) and click ok.

3. On the queue tab click start.

Only 1 worker will be used.

Also is it possible for the one click encoder to add a ignore subtitles check box.

Thank you for all your hard work with MeGUI :)

I have just updated to the latest 2157 build and have noticed that the one click encoder folder mode doesn't use more than 1 worker.

That is the desired behaviour - at least at the moment.
Two possible changes:
- Create all jobs at the start. Drawback: You will need a lot of disk space as every file will be extracted first.
- Split the initial files which will be processed in as many parts as there are workers present. The same result can be achieved if two folders will be processed in the current mode. Drawback: An OneClick chain may need a lot more time than the other. Also if you add/remove workers lateron it will have no effect.

A .mkv file. As soon I select the file, I get the error I posted earlier.
HD Stream Extractor > Select File as Input > video.mkv > Error

I tested this with 2 different movies I already encoded with MeGUI. I discovered this by accident, when I wanted to modify a SRT file that was not properly formatted.

[Wam7]

I have just updated to the latest 2157 build and have noticed that the one click encoder folder mode doesn't use more than 1 worker.It works fine for me, using it now with 3 workers. Maybe try adding the workers after you've started the queue.

Please post the media info of your files. I have tested it with several MKVs and I do not have this problem.
EDIT: If possible please upload a short sample.

[AMED]

That is the desired behaviour - at least at the moment.
Two possible changes:
- Create all jobs at the start. Drawback: You will need a lot of disk space as every file will be extracted first.
- Split the initial files which will be processed in as many parts as there are workers present. The same result can be achieved if two folders will be processed in the current mode. Drawback: An OneClick chain may need a lot more time than the other. Also if you add/remove workers lateron it will have no effect.
Thanks Zathor, I can live with using the file mode instead of the folder mode so i can use multiple workers.

Is it possible to add an ignore subtitles option to the oneclick profile? or a right click on the subtitles tabs "remove all subtitles"?

[TECK]

Please post the media info of your files. I have tested it with several MKVs and I do not have this problem.
EDIT: If possible please upload a short sample.

Here it is a sample (http://www.mediafire.com/?auaw7fc2uz3hdzc) that fails to extract and produces the error I mentioned earlier.
Reverting back to 2153 works beautiful. This is what I did: with all files upgraded to 2157 release, I replaced the MeGUI.exe file with the one versioned as 2153 that I had as backup. Everything works as expected, I can extract properly the MKV contents.

[Kurtnoise]

@Zathor : here is the fix :

The fix you proposed solves my extraction issues, nice job. :)

@Zathor : here is the fix
Thanks!

[Zathor]

Is it possible to add an ignore subtitles option to the oneclick profile? or a right click on the subtitles tabs "remove all subtitles"?
Yes, it should be possible to block subtitles in the OneClick profile settings. As a workaround you can select only one subtitle language in the profile settings. And only subtitles from this language will be shown if there are those subtitles - if not everything is shown (maybe I should change that...)

For some reason, the temp dir cannot be deleted. I have to manually close MeGUI and delete all files.

[Zathor]

2160 [OneClick] added option to disable audio/video tracks completely by default
2159 [OneClick] use the correct input file if using Blu-ray input with the option "don't encode video"

[TECK]

2160 solved also the bug I reported earlier related to file deletion, thank you for your great work Zathor.

[bxyhxyh]

Please add qaac and drop faac that already have stopped development.

--------------------------------------------------
Sorry my english is not good.

[LigH]

But qaac requires the installation of the Apple Application Support for the CoreAudioToolbox. See the qaac site at Google (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/).

[tebasuna51]

Please add qaac and drop faac that already have stopped development.

I agree about faac encoder. Lame is always equal or better and more compatible.

About qaac there are the problem related by LigH, and we have always NeroAacEnc. With movie audio tracks is recommended use VBR encode, and seleccting quality 0.4-0.5 we have the same quality/size than using qaac.

[LigH]

Even if MeGUI won't support qaac internally in near future, it will support multiplexing an externally made audio stream.

[Kurtnoise]

it should be easy to make several check to test all files required to support qaac...I'll give a try this weekend.

[LigH]

Both qaac and qtaacenc are CLI tools using the Apple AAC/ALAC codec. Just qaac is slightly more advanced, supporting more features; the development of qtaacenc appears suspended.

[Kurtnoise]

Sorry, I meant qaac...

[manolito]

But qaac requires the installation of the Apple Application Support for the CoreAudioToolbox. See the qaac site at Google (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/).
There is no need to install Apple Application support. You can extract the necessary files from the .msi with 7-Zip.

The easiest way to obtain the required files is to download Mkv2Mp4 by oreons and copy the whole subfolder "qtfiles" (it is under "tools\qaac\1.xx").


Cheers
manolito

[LigH]

This may be a possible solution, but not the one covered by Apple's license, I guess. Remember "QuickTime Alternative"?

[Shevek]

...but not the one covered by Apple's license...

Wouldn't that then break MeGUI's OS licence?

(I am no expert, this is an assumption on my part and I may be entirely wrong!)

[the_weirdo]

Actually, qaac only depends on these files of Apple Application Support: ASL.dll, CoreAudioToolbox.dll, CoreFoundation.dll, icudt46.dll, libdispatch.dll, libicuin.dll, libicuuc.dll, objc.dll, pthreadVC2.dll. Just put those files in sub-folder "QTfiles" of qaac folder and qaac will regconize them automatically. However, I don't know if someone distribute them in this way can lead to involve in some legal issues or not.

EDIT#1: I forgot to say those dlls require MSVC++ 2005 Redistributable (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387) (they're also in AppleApplicationSupport.msi as well).

EDIT#2: nu774 have even made a batch file to extract necessary files for qaac from iTunesSetup.exe/iTunes64Setup.exe/QuickTimeInstaller.exe to QTfiles sub-folder, which can find at here (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/cabinet) (makeportable.zip, need 7z.exe in PATH or you can just extract this compact version (http://www.mediafire.com/?091um11j38vk0dc) to folder which contains madeportable.cmd and iTunesSetup.exe/iTunes64Setup.exe/QuickTimeInstaller.exe)

[Zathor]

it should be easy to make several check to test all files required to support qaac...I'll give a try this weekend.

That would be great! I think the best will be to implement it like NeroAACEnc/DGIndexNV. So disabled by default and if enabled only the legal files will be downloaded. The user must take care of the rest.

[cpasmoi]

hello there, is possible to add in the future 2 pass encoding for nero aac ?

thanks you very much.

[LigH]

-2pass : Enables two-pass encoding mode.
Note that two-pass more requires a physical file as input,
rather than stdin.

Because MeGUI uses piped input via stdin (the AviSynth script is no "physical file as input"), I doubt this will be implemented. After all, quality-based encoding is optimal and does not even need 2 passes. Or do you have circumstances which require an as-constant-as-possible audio bitrate?

[cpasmoi]

thanks for infos

Or do you have circumstances which require an as-constant-as-possible audio bitrate?

i don't know, i use default built-in preset (aac LC 96 adaptive bitrate - for 2 channels tracks), i give a try to quality based encoding next time i encode something.

[Kurtnoise]

Please add qaac and drop faac that already have stopped development.

Here is the 1st test version (http://www.mediafire.com/?t11rmoirga0hzsl).

How to use :
1/ Create a new folder into MeGUI\tools\ as qaac. Put all required files into there. In my tree, I just copy libsoxrate.dll, msvcp100.dll, msvcr100.dll, qaac.exe, refalac.exe. Check the official wiki (https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki/Installation) in order to have all required files.
2/ Copy all files from the test version package and enjoy...


N.B : Currently, qaac is not available through the updater. I'lll add it after several testing from you.

[bxyhxyh]

N.B : Currently, qaac is not available through the updater. I'lll add it after several testing from you.

hehe, i'm just a newbie. I just copied that pic.
So test information from me is not good idea.

If it is work, then it is enough for me.

Anyway thank you very much

I needed those files.

Yeah, it is working
Problem is:
Can't select higher than 127 kb/s.

Here is my tests and logs http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ruubu1l9mea

I tested on my old computer
Core 2 Duo processor
1 GB RAM
Working good since it is an Audio Encoder.

[Zathor]

Thanks, Kurtnoise!

[aMvEL]

If I feed a .ts-file which contains a teletext-stream to the oneclick-encoder it gives of an error

--[Error] [23.09.2012 17:44:55] An error occurred: Error: (mkvextract) Error: No EBML head found.

It shouldn't try to extract teletext with mkvextract, it can't be done ... it should just ignore the teletext stream alltogether.

[Zathor]

Mhm, mkvextract should not be used at all on a TS file... I will have a look into it.

[Zathor]

If I feed a .ts-file which contains a teletext-stream to the oneclick-encoder it gives of an error


Thanks for the report. It is fixed in 2174.

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Thanks for your tests.

Yeah, it is working
Problem is:
Can't select higher than 127 kb/s.

Here is my tests and logs http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ruubu1l9mea
.
how did you run your tests ? did you create your own presets ? you can't move the slider to change bitrate values, it's that right ?

[bxyhxyh]

Hi,

Thanks for your tests.


how did you run your tests ? did you create your own presets ? you can't move the slider to change bitrate values, it's that right ?

Slider is moving. I can change it to higher than 127 kb/s.
But when i click config again it is still on 127 kb/s. And encode is 127 kb/s too. Even if i create a preset it is still same.
This problem is on Constrained VBR, ABR and CBR. Not on True VBR

I think this problem is based on that True VBR's max is 127.

ill try to find a tool to cut those videos to add some samples files.. wich tool i should use to cut ?

[Zathor]

You have two errors. The first is that ffms cannot index the audio part of the input file. Have you already updated ffms to r722? You can also try to downgrade ffms to 2.17 (http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/detail?name=ffms-2.17.7z&can=2&q=)
And the second error may be a result of the first one.

Beside the file (cutting with VirtualDub may be possible) I need one full log file covering the whole OneClick process. So close/restart MeGUI, add one file to OneClick, start the process and wait untill the first error comes up. Upload this log.

[flebber]

Not sure if this has been asked before but would it be possible for the chapter creator tool to accept and extract chapters from mkv input?

its a just zero urgency as it is easily done manually
mkvextract chapters source-filename

[Kurtnoise]

Slider is moving. I can change it to higher than 127 kb/s.
But when i click config again it is still on 127 kb/s. And encode is 127 kb/s too. Even if i create a preset it is still same.
This problem is on Constrained VBR, ABR and CBR. Not on True VBR

I think this problem is based on that True VBR's max is 127.
For the moment, I cannot reproduce on my side...did you create several jobs and you're running them afterwards ? or did you use multiple workers for each jobs ?

It's just to avoid to forget it....

[bxyhxyh]

No

Yes and No both.

I selected True VBR's q=100, Next i changed mode to Constrained or ABR or CBR. Then bitrate is changed to 100 kb/s.

Maybe several slidebar like NeroAAC can solve this.

By the way ALAC is not working. And encoding only in LC-AAC. These may only on my side.

@ bxyhxyh:

[Alt]+[PrtScr] captures only the active window. Saves you some crude cropping... ;)

Ok...I'll check it out asap.

Thanks again for your tests.

If I've done a previous job with 2 or 3 workers, the next time I start MeGUI and do a single encode the Status window disappears after completing the index and there is no way to get it back (it goes from using the 1st worker to 2nd worker). This can be a pain as I sometimes want to change priority which is impossible to do so when this happens.

Edit:
Maybe it's out of keeping with your design but I suspect many who use the 'One-Click' would find it useful to have click button also on the 'Queue' tab. It would save having either to press Ctrl-F1 or clicking the Input tab.

Great work Zathor on the recent additions. The 'Select Folder' is worth it's weight in gold. Though when selecting this the 'Avisynth Profile' on Advanced config they cease to affect the multiple files. They work fine is selecting a single file.

So the AviSynth profiles will not be applied to all files? Have to verify this and will fix it.
EDIT: All settings in the advanced tab will be ignored in batch mode. Maybe this is the problem. Have you selected the proper AviSynth profile in the OneClick profile?
EDIT2: To make it more clear. This behaviour is intended.

[Rat Killer]

I too would like to have the 'OneClick' button on the queue tab.

I keep running into a problem encoding from mpg files captured from my tivo. Opening such a file sometimes shows audio tracks that simply do not exist. The one click tool correctly identifies the main track and shows it as audio 1 but also loads these phantom tracks in additional tabs. If I process a folder, when the one click batch reaches such a file, the batch errors and stops complaining it cannot find the audio track file. Since it happens so often, I figured it would get knocked out as a bug fix but it has not.

Suppose Zathor could use an example file to work from. Let me know where to send it, I can find one thats not too large.

Hi. this is my first post here on Doom9, so first of all many thanks to all the devs who put in all the hard work on MeGUI :)

I use CineForm AVIs a lot, and they can not be indexed with FFMS. Maybe I'm missing somethings, but I don't see a way of using OneClick with AVISource/DirectShowSource.
Is it possible? If not could this option be added?

Thanks.

[Kurtnoise]

Could you upload a sample of your file please ?

[LigH]

I would suggest to place the EXE files not in "\Program Files\MeGUI" but rather in "\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to" (so eac3to is able to use it in its own conversions); anyway, do configure the path.

A "beginner's guide" is not quite the topic of this thread. It may not even be the exact purpose of MeGUI to be used by beginners... You will find several different sites searching the web for "megui tutorial", even videos. But beginners may prefer different software with possibly less freedom, but better guidance. StaxRip (SourceForge project: staxmedia) may be one alternative.

I tried handbreak before, xmedia encode or recode but i only like megui as it is the best for dvd ripping, please help me mate to learn this please...........

[ion12]

Could you upload a sample of your file please ?

I have no problem uploading a sample, but as CineForm is a propriety codec you would need to install the decoder to read it. (there's a free "GoPro CineForm Studio" installer).

Note that when I have the codec installed, I have no problem importing an .avs that uses AVISource or DirectShowSource into MeGUI (using any method, including OneClick). I also have no issues using MeGUI's AviSynth script creator and choosing AVISource in the "choose your prefered way to open..." dialog.

However I can't see a way to open the AVI directly with OneClick, since there's no apparent way to fall back to AVISource/DirectShowSource when the file is not readable by any of the indexers.

Let me know if you still want a sample,
thanks :)

[Kurtnoise]

yes, I need it...;)

[ion12]

Just 2 seconds sample, to keep filesize down. Do you need a longer sample?

In the stable build of MeGUI, it is possible to load up the VOBs of a DVD into the HD Streams Extractor, and extract the streams (cf. beginning of this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163647) for step by step instructions, images, etc., if this idea is not clear).

In the Development build of MeGUI, this no longer works. It works for a single VOB, but once the whole VOB sequence is selected it does not work (or, in general, if more than one VOB is selected).

[Zathor]

If those file can be detected by MediaInfo we can switch to DirectShowSource/AviSource automatically. I assume that is the reason why Kurtnoise asked for the file. As a workaround you can create a AVS file with the AVS Script Creator (using AviSource) and load this file ans input file in OneClick.

The FourCC in your file is not recognized yet by FFmeg libraries...

So, you need to change this with a small tool like Nic's FourCC changer (available in the Xvid codec package) :

http://uppix.net/6/9/7/9fd2406d7c8bcc12e0cbf73c3e007.png

and that should be ok...

[ion12]

Sorry, but I don't understand your suggestion/request...
I understand how to use Nic's FourCC Changer, but then what?

btw, MediaInfo can read the CineForm file, can this be somehow used to tell OneClick to open the file with AVISource instead of trying to index and open with FFmpeg libraries? Or maybe have an option to use AVISource in the OneClick configuration dialog?

Is it possible to include aspect ratio distortion calculator into avisynth script creator window? When I encode, I have to use Yoda's resize calculator to get the least amount of distortion because this feature is missing in MeGUI.
Also, I would like to see an option in avisynth script creator which will enable me to encode square pixels but using mod2. Now, I have to use mod16 and save the script, then manually open the .avs file and change, for example, vertical resolution from 400 to 402 or whatever and then open the script in MeGUI again.

The spinners step in jumps of 16 but you can just type over the height with whatever value you want

I did it today as I encoded a film which has OAR 2.40:1

Closest mod16 is 720 x 304, I just manually typed in a height of 300 (which is actually mod4)

[kalehrl]

you can just type over the height with whatever value you want
Thanks for the tip.
I will try it next time I encode something using h264.
Still, I would like something like Yoda resize calculator added in MeGUI.
I believe Staxrip has something similar included.

[hello_hello]

There appears to be something odd going on with MeGUI 2188 and/or the development update server. I assume it relates to AVISynth although I've not touched the AVISynth installation and I've never had this problem before. I've duplicated the same problem using two PCs running XP.

After upgrading to version 2188 I get a "required component is missing" message and MeGUI decides "AVS" is not installed and wants to install version 2.5.8 (using the development update server).
I switched to the stable server, MeGUI gave me the same message on startup, only after letting it check for updates "AVS" is no longer included in the update list.
I rolled back to version 2174 and got the same "required component is missing" message at startup but AVS was not included in the list of updates.

Anyway, without knowing exactly how the process works, after switching update servers a couple of times, MeGUI 2174 now works while set to use the development update server and no longer tells me a required component is missing, but as soon as I switch back to version 2188 it does. At least I can use MeGUI if I stick to version 2174.

"2140 [Update] if a component is missing no jobs can be started"

Seems like a reasonable idea until MeGUI decides a component is missing which isn't. Although if it's the update server which decides a component is missing which isn't, maybe it's not such a good idea.

Erm, just let 2188 install the AVS package...

[LigH]

The AviSynth 2.5.8 DLL in the AVS package is just a fallback for the case that you did not yet install AviSynth before using MeGUI. If you already installed AviSynth, MeGUI should be using your installed version. That may well be e.g. AviSynth-MT 2.6 by SEt (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148782) as an update to the generic version 2.5.8 instead...

[Zathor]

Correct. The reason is that MeGUI is now able to operate without installation (=portable) from a client where you do not have administrator permissions. Only remaining point is that for some actions in eac3to or dss2 you need the Haali splitter installed. Maybe this can be solved also - but currently you need to install it (but I will at least add a check if and which version is installed).

[Rat Killer]

Please upload it somewhere where I can download it e.g. mediafire.

This link should get you one such file. Its an mpeg of an OTA tv show downloaded from my Tivo. When loaded into the onclick tool, it shows a phantom second audio track that mucks up the batch processing.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thanks!

I have 2.5.8 installed. It's been installed from day 1 (after last reformat) and hasn't been touched since. MeGUI has always just used it.

Okay I let it install the AVS package and everything's back to normal. It's just the "required component is missing" message is rather counter-initiative if the required component is really a fallback and isn't actually required, as such.
I guess I just wasn't sure if the AVS package was something which would mess with the "system" AVISynth installation, hence my hesitation to install it, but I understand how it works now.

Hi.. i use a lot megui to rip my tv series so i use a lot the same settings, the same size and in general the bitrate calculator, it's not possible to autoselect in bitrate calculator the format i choose like output? (for example i want to save it to mp4, i select it, i open the bitrate calculator and i find the right format already selected). It's a little improvement but that will help everyone.
Same thing for the size of the bitrate calculator, it isn't possible to remember the last selected size? Or at least add an option to do that. with this option if i want the same size i just have to click ok, if i want instead to change it i still have to select the new size even without the option.
Thx in advance and sorry for my english

I didn't know about this specific feature, but i think it's not enough for me because i use a lot avisynth with different plugins and scripts and it's difficult to use this method with my own script.
Btw i think that my suggestions are still good and useful for everyone, not just me or recursive jobs, in the end with the bitrate it's already in place, if i select mp3 at 128 kbps in the bitrate calculator it is already selected, why not for the output format?

Hello,

I am encoding my DVDs into MP4 files using X264 & Nero AAC. When I play the MP4 file, I see av sync issues in cycles.

For few seconds, the av will be in sync. After 1 minute, it will slowly go out of sync. Then, after 3 to 4 minutes, av will be in sync. This cycle keeps repeating through out the movie.

When I extract .VOB from DVD, DVDDecrypter created the following log:

I am using below AVISynth script to resize and place watermark:


LoadPlugin("D:\MeGUI_2153_x86\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("D:\Output\MyTestVideo.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("D:\MeGUI_2153_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
LoadPlugin("D:\MeGUI_2153_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
tfm(order=-1).tdecimate(hybrid=3)
a1=LanczosResize(768,432) # Lanczos (Sharp)
a2=ImageReader("D:\Logos\Watermark_80x80.png")
a3=ImageReader("D:\Logos\Watermark_80x80.png",pixel_type="RGB32").ShowAlpha(pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a3, x=640, y=1)


Then, I am using the attached X264 profiles to encode the video into 1800k variant. I am NeroAAC to encode AC3 into AAC with 128k bitrate.

Once the video & audio tracks are ready, I am muxing them using MP4muxer. But, when I play the MP4 file, av will be in perfectly sync for 1 minute (approx.) and then it will go out of sync for next 3 to 4 minutes. Audio comes 0.5 seconds before the video.

The above cycle repeats through out the movie.

Please let me know, if you have any suggestions. Thank you for your time!

[Kurtnoise]

The MP4 Muxer uses MP4Box not FFmpeg...your last mediainfo reports it's weird. Are you sure that you used MeGUI ?

Thank you for looking into my request. I initially used MeGUI MP4 muxer and then tried FFMPEG with qt-faststart. But, the result seems to be same for the av sync issues.

Please let me know, if you need any other details.

Thank you

[Kurtnoise]

Could you upload a sample from your MyTestVideo.VOB somewhere ? (say 50MB)

You can use DGSplit (http://neuron2.net/dgsplit/dgsplit12.zip) to split your file...

[streamingguy]

Sure. I will send the links to download full vide and sample video.

Thank you for your time!

Hi Zathor,

[Zathor]

I have found a bug in the OneClick encoder when using .mkv in per file mode. If the file name has the word Error in the name the job will fail at mkvextract.
Thx for the report - the problem has been fixed:

2215 [OneClick] always mux output file
2214 [MKVExtract] fixed handling of input file name which contains error or warning
2213 [OneClick] added leading name option
2212 [DGIndexNV] added support for MP4 container (requires dgindexnv 2044+)
2211 [OneClick] optimized TrueHD handling with eac3to
2210 [OneClick] optimized job creation process when several tracks are used

[Pulp Catalyst]

2215, when adding a file index job, when i click start it gives an error about cant start as there is no object reference set to an instance,

the job seems to be ownerless (usually most jobs are added to default owner 1, that doesn't seem to be happening any more)


if i transfer the job to owner 1 and click start, error,
if i transfer the job to temporary and click start error,

however, if i right click the job and click start in temporary thread.... it works fine!

[Zathor]

Please post the log (including the part of the file adding in the file indexer)

[hello_hello]

As I live in PAL land I don't convert NTSC DVDs much, but I found a little oddity while analysing one today. It's frame rate is 29.970 and according to the d2v file created after indexing it's 95.52% film. What's happening is if I let MeGUI analyse the video it displays the results in the script creator window and writes the deinterlacing to the script, however if I manually select the same de-interlacing method, the deinterlacing MeGUI writes to the script changes (and in this case appears not to be correct). Anyway....

After Analysis:
Script Creator Window: Partially Film, Top Field First, TIVTC
Script: tfm(order=1).tdecimate(hybrid=1)

Manual De-interlacing Selection 1:
Script Creator Window: Partially Film, Top Field First, TIVTC
Script: tfm(order=1).tdecimate(hybrid=3)

Manual De-interlacing Selection 2:
Script Creator Window: Hybrid Film/Interlaced. Mostly Film, Top Field First, TIVTC
Script: tfm(order=1).tdecimate(hybrid=1)

Maybe I just don't understand NTSC video well enough and I'm missing the obvious, but after the analysis and MeGUI has decided on deinterlacing and added it to the script creator window, should manually selecting the same de-interlacing in the script creator window cause MeGUI to write the same deinterlacing to the script? Cheers.

[hello_hello]

This is probably going to be one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions, but I suspect something similar has happened to me before. As per my post above I was running some test encodes to compare deinterlacing using exactly the same encoder settings each time. No target device option set and the same cropping and resizing (to square pixels). No anamorphic encoding. One of my test encodes had it's aspect ratio changed a little but I don't understand why. I checked the log files and they all included this line:
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1
Except for the one encode where it was:
x264 [info]: using SAR=210/209
and --sar 210:209 had been added to the command line.

Thinking I'd done something silly I rechecked the script, ran the encode again but this time SAR was back to 1/1 as it should have been, so I couldn't repeat the problem. I'll run some encodes again using the same script to see if it occurs again but is there any logical reason why MeGUI would randomly change the aspect ratio a little? Or something obvious I'm missing?

[Pulp Catalyst]

no errors with this one, but a lot slower adding the queued project to the main GUI, tested several times, definitely a delay with this version compared too 2174 (which i use a lot, solid version for me)

only issue i had which was weird, it moaned that the nero encoder wasn't installed, yet it was, MeGUI tried to download, then errored (at a lost how to spell the former word) out because it was already there, so i just pointed MeGUI back to the location on my drive, it also wanted to download "avs" again..... even though it was also there..... but that could considered as one of those things.....anyway!

...should manually selecting the same de-interlacing in the script creator window cause MeGUI to write the same deinterlacing to the script?
Yes. Please upload a sample file.

[Carpo]

Is anyone else who is using Windows 8 having the issue of when selecting Suggest Resolution (mod16) - it's not suggesting a resolution, it stays at the original resolution, or is it just me

[LigH]

Did you activate the "Clever Anamorphic" option? That's the one I remember immediately which may cause no resizing. Not sure right now if there are others...

[Carpo]

no i haven't selected that as they are old 4:3 dvd's, wonder if it's because I am using Avisynth 2.6, although I was using that when I was using Windows 7 and it worked fine on there........

Is anyone else who is using Windows 8 having the issue of when selecting Suggest Resolution (mod16) - it's not suggesting a resolution, it stays at the original resolution, or is it just me

It works fine with me I'm using x64 version of Megui:

but I have an issue regarding the CPU frequency. Megui or x264 encoder is not using the all 4 GHz of my CPU:

[Carpo]

i am using the x86 version of megui, have put Avisynth 2.5.8 back in and will see what happens, x264 never uses all 8 cores of my cpu on first pass, but gets up to about 90% on the second

[Sm3n2]

I'm using CRF to encode. And here Megui uses all my 8 cores.
I'll try to encode using XviD to see what is the difference...

[Carpo]

this is strange, if I do some of the older discs in the series, meGUI says to resize them to 640 x 480, if I do later discs in the series it is saying to resize them to 720 x 544, very strange

[LigH]

It cannot depend on AviSynth. As long as you are changing settings in the GUI, AviSynth is inactive. It becomes active only when the conversion starts (or the preview is displayed).

The less details you can provide about the difference between the "older" and the "newer" projects, and the setup you are using, the less we can tell you about the reason.

[Carpo]

they are all the same, same series, same resolution, same x264 profile, everything is the same except for changing OS, after having gone back to 2.5.8 i notice that it is slower than 2.6. I will do some more tests and see what happens

[Sm3n2]

If Megui doesn't use all my processor it's because of the new generation of processor. When the process is about 3,90 GHz he runs 100% but not on all the cores and when the process is abot 3,64 GHz (like with Megui) he runs 100% on ALL my cores. So it's logic and absolutely normal.

@Carpo: Try with Megui x64 ;) http://megui.org/auto/megui-core_2217_x64.zip Don't forget to add those .dll 7z, ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib and SevenZipSharp. If not you can't install all the componant. After that, install avisynth 64: http://avisynth64.googlecode.com/files/avisynth64_4-16-10.rar And try again.

[Carpo]

have an encode going atm, will try it out once its done - thanks, I am guessing this goes without saying but any x86 updates it wants to bring down I should ignore, and attempt to find 64bit versions of them as per the readme?

edit: x64 is slower than x86 version unless i use the MT mode, on first pass it jumps between 60 -70% + of the cpu

edit2: [Error] [18/11/2012 13:04:56] Process exits with error: 255 after 10 minutes doing first pass, not looking too good for x64 version of meGUI

[Sm3n2]

Ok.
What codec do you use on your pc ? Because you need (sorry to say that just right now) x64 codec. I think it's slower because of that (he did the same with me if I remember). I have only k-lite codec pack for x64 and haali media splitter. I assure you it's very fast ;)

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Haali-Media-Splitter
http://codecguide.com/klcp_64bit.htm

During the installation, at the end, don't forget to choose "I don't remember what... DXVA decoder" for h264 (on scroll box)
Make a new avisynth script and look at the bottom right if haali and ffdshow codec are open ;) (don't forget to change audio=false to audio=true to see if ffdshow audio codec is open)

[Carpo]

I use LAVfilters, have installed ffdshow or anything like that in a long time, the crashing on the first pass is an issue, I am wondering if is where i have put the setMTMode, but the same .avs script is working fine under x86 meGUI, I will test it out on a smaller video once this one is done

[LigH]

Codec Packs are the best reason to re-install your OS. Chances are high that they contain outdated, unnecessary, dangerous, or pirated content (not mutually exclusive). Better know what you really need, and install that from official sources only.

[Carpo]

I tried k-lite, nothing in there i didnt already have, and it has been removed, all files and reg entries have been removed :)

[Sm3n2]

I have an issue when I load mp4 file (.264 + aac) Megui can't decompress aac. only ffdshow video decoder open on taskbar. ffdshow option is aac=libavcodec. I heard about bass.dll, bassaac.dll but it's only for audio.aac file and not for movie with aac audio.
Is there a way to do decode and encode directly like other movie file ? Thx

[Kurtnoise]

:logfile:

[Sm3n2]

Thx :)
Tu es français ? Mes paramètres d'encodage du mp3 sont réglés sur downmix to stereo mais je comprends pas pourquoi il me dit "Unsupported number of channels: 6"

Yeah, I live in the frogs country too...;)

1/ Could you load your mp4 directly in the Audio Panel, then choose your mp3 presets and try to run the conversion ?
2/ Post your log result after if that fails...

[Sm3n2]

I hate frogs :)

I thought the file has a bad audio encode but with virtualdub and using the AACACM plugin and can decode without any problem.
It failed again: (I just tried to encode audio this time)

much better...

1/ Try to remux your mp4 into mkv within MKV Muxer from Megui.
2/ Retry again audio conversion through the Audio Panel using this mkv as input.

You have IDM to grab it ?
I tried with a previous version of ffdshow and still not working. The haali splitter works well because it opens but not the ffdshow audio.

I'm using Jdownloader and all is fine for me :

Try to download again your file...audio encoding uses avisynth filters not any directshow filters to decode the streams.

[Sm3n2]

My log says "FFAudioSource: Seeking is severely broken" I don't get it.
I'm using MeGUI x64 it doesn't matter isn't it ?

[LigH]

If you are using AviSynth 32-bit, it would use FFMS2 32-bit.
If you are using AviSynth 64-bit, it would use FFMS2 64-bit.

MeGUI is only a user interface.

But that's not exactly the point. In general, FFMS2 contains splitters on one hand, to "take the media container apart" (demultiplex) and extract its content (video stream, audio stream), so that decoders on the other hand receive only the data of the streams they are able to decode (the video decoder gets only bytes from the video stream; the audio decoder gets only bytes from the audio stream). This requires the splitter to know where in the media file a part of the video stream is located, where a part of the audio stream is located, and so on for the next parts... so the splitter has to "seek" the media file (access different positions in it).

Often an index block helps a splitter to know the positions. If this index is missing or corrupted, seeking can be unreliable, which means that the splitter may send wrong bytes to the decoders. But it is usually also possible to seek "sequentially", without an index, though it means to follow the media file from the start to the end byte-by-byte, reading and interpreting additional data between video and audio streams, present to support a splitter to find their contents.

Sometimes the whole media file is corrupted, maybe due to download errors. Then the splitter discovers that the data it tries to read doesn't look like useful information to seek and demultiplex the file, but instead like nonsense. What shall it do now? Continue reading the file until it finds something which looks sane again? That will be slow and may not even be successful. And certainly it will leave a hole in the extracted content streams. Possibly one that may confuse the following audio decoder so much that it fails decoding the rest of the audio stream.

[Sm3n2]

So, My previous french message was deleted. I'll try to tell you in good english :)
Apparently ffms2 doesn't work with MeGUI x64. I tried with x86 and actually it works very good. I also try to downgrade the version of ffms2 of MeGUI x64 but still the same and I also try to rename the dll to ffms2-x64.dll like the ffms2's r683. Still doesn't work.
I think the problem is here. ffms2 can't work with megui x64.

Hi Zathor, I had tried to extract streams of matroska file using HD Stream Extractor, and this message is launched:

Hi,

What does it mean in english >> "La longitud no puede ser inferior a cero." ?

[tebasuna51]

"La longitud no puede ser inferior a cero." = "The length can't be less than zero."

[Kurtnoise]

mmh, weird...

@Overdrive80: could you rename your input file without the "---" (ex: Patlabor 1 La pelicula.mkv) and retry extraction ?

[Zathor]

Hi Zathor, I had tried to extract streams of matroska file using HD Stream Extractor, and this message is launched

If renaming the file does not solve the problem:
Are you able to reproduce it with a short part of the file? If yes please upload this file.a

Ok, I'll try with your sample to fix the bug...

Please replace those + in the file name. The + is used for seamless mode when using input files. This problem was there for years - thanks for finding it. I have already fixed it locally and will commit it after a few tests.

In this case, an inline image would have been useful. More than in other cases when people post FullHD screenshots inline, without thumbnails... :rolleyes:

QAAC support!
Thanks Zathor! :thanks:

[flebber]

Is there a safe location to down load CoreAudioToolbox.dll from?

[the_weirdo]

Is there a safe location to down load CoreAudioToolbox.dll from?

From qaac's homepage:
Since 1.00, qaac directly uses CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Therefore, QuickTime installation is no more required. However, Apple Application Support is required.

Apple Application Support is included in recent Apple products such as iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari. Therefore, you can install it via installation of one of these products. However, Apple Application Support itself is actually independently packaged as AppleApplicationSupport.msi. If you want, you can extract it from installer exe file using 7-zip archiver, and directly run AppleApplicationSupport.msi. This way, you can install only necessary modules to run qaac. No iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari needed.

[Zathor]

QAAC support!
Thanks Zathor! :thanks:
Kurtnoise did this part.
Thanks, kurtnoise!

[sneaker_ger]

It should not be necessary to actually install the AppleApplicationSupport.msi.

I've created a script to extract the necessary files for qaac from e.g. the QuickTimeInstaller.exe (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/):
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ysj4ph04vt3b8g

Please report in case I have missed a file. I have only tested it with QuickTimeInstaller.exe and done one quick encode.

[Overdrive80]

Hi, megui detect qaac as installed but profiles doesnt showed. But I can export profiles with qaac. What do I wrong??

[TheLongshot]

I seem to have a problem file. I was indexing an old MPG file which was a TS recorded with an OTA card, with the commercials edited out. Indexing with DGIndex crashes. Indexing with FFMSIndex generates an error that Audio changes modes (presumably because of residual commercial information.)

I've searched around, but I haven't found how I can fix this. Any hints?

[Zathor]

Hi, megui detect qaac as installed but profiles doesnt showed. But I can export profiles with qaac. What do I wrong??

Have you enabled the QAAC checkbox in the MeGUI settings? Have you closed MeGUI after you have enabled it?

[LigH]

After clicking the checkbox "Enable QAAC" in the "External Program Configuration" tab of the "Settings" dialog, you'll get the message:

---------------------------
Restart required
---------------------------
You have to restart MeGUI in order to get access to the QAAC profiles!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

[Kurtnoise]

It's not profiles imho...presets should be use instead.

[Shevek]

I had to restart twice to get the profile, this was how it worked with me:

Tick the QAAC box in settings.

Restart MeGUI

Prompted to update and download QAAC

Profile not in drop down

Restart MeGUI

Profile now in drop down

Is it possible to prompt for a restart from the updater if downloading QAAC for the first time?

[Overdrive80]

Have you enabled the QAAC checkbox in the MeGUI settings? Have you closed MeGUI after you have enabled it?

Yes, I did it but dont show it. Im going to force download again.

EDIT: Already show it. Thanks

I have a lot of avi files that have ac3 audio in them and now I have to use VirtualDubMod to extract the audio. Would it be possible to add support for extracting ac3 audio from an avi container or to add support for muxing ac3 audio in a avi container into a mkv container?

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Could you open a feature request in megui website to mention this please ?

[DoctorM]

Since "Target Playback Device" is replacing x264 presets, any chance we could get some more devices listed? Would very much like to see BD5 and BD9 get added.

Also it looks like some of the profiles could benefit from separate 720p vs 1080p settings.

[tebasuna51]

I have a lot of avi files that have ac3 audio in them and now I have to use VirtualDubMod to extract the audio. Would it be possible to add support for extracting ac3 audio from an avi container or to add support for muxing ac3 audio in a avi container into a mkv container?

Until a integrated MeGUI tool can do the job, you can use manually the megui\tools\avimux_gui\AVIMux_GUI.exe:

1) Open your avi in upper window.
2) Select the avi and click over 'Generate data source from files'
3) Select the audio track to extract and right-click -> 'extract binary'

There are a important difference between audio tracks extracted with AVIMux_GUI and VirtualDubMod when the audio track have a fake delay in avi container.

The VirtualDubMod extracted files have garbage (normally bytes '0') at the begining of the file, before the first valid header, to emulate the delay. AviMuxGUI remove this garbage.

The VirtualDubMod extracted files with garbage can be rejected by MkvMerge or stored without the garbage and you lose the delay.

When you select the audio track in point 3), AviMuxGUI show the delay than you need add to the extracted track when you mux with MkvMerge.

I will release a new stable build in the next days. Are there any open problems left?

[Zathor]

Great work Zathor!

Please explain that in more detail. Do you need the information about the aspect ratio error? Or anything else?

After using 2 workers, the next time you restart MeGUI and do one job the status window will disappear after creating the index.
I cannot reproduce that. Please provide more details. Additionally please upload the file joblist.xml and the folder jobs (saved after closing MeGUI and a second copy a while later when MeGUI is running and not showing the job status window)

[Wam7]

I cannot reproduce that. Please provide more details. Additionally please upload the file joblist.xml and the folder jobs (saved after closing MeGUI and a second copy a while later when MeGUI is running and not showing the job status window)Here is a video of exactly what I mean. Do you still need the above? http://youtu.be/6LLjd4mUZkk

You will see that clicking on the 2nd status window does nothing. The 'tick' does not go on and off like the first status window. (It is not on another screen somewhere). Does this just pertain only to my computer?

[kalehrl]

Do you need the information about the aspect ratio error?
Yes, that's the additional information I would like to see in the AviSynth script creator below resize.
When resizing, it is advisable to choose resolution which will give the least aspect ratio error.
For example, if a movie is shot in 2.35 I choose 640x272, if it is 1.77 - 624x352, 1.85 - 624x336.
This aspect ratio error calculator would take into account the original movie resolution, cropping options and then display the aspect ratio error according to the chosen resolution:

You will see that clicking on the 2nd status window does nothing. The 'tick' does not go on and off like the first status window. (It is not on another screen somewhere). Does this just pertain only to my computer?

I cannot see which kind of jobs have been started before the one progress window disapaered. So yes, I still need the files.
Nevertheless I can now reproduce the problem with two idle workers and a OneClick job. After the OneClick has finished the next jobs are done hidden. Is that also your problem?
But even after several hours debugging around I cannot find the cause of this problem and will now stop finding it. I will implement a workaround for this but it will only work for OneClick generated jobs.
EDIT: please try 2237.

[hello_hello]

Yes, that's the additional information I would like to see in the AviSynth script creator below resize.
When resizing, it is advisable to choose resolution which will give the least aspect ratio error.

I don't think it's maintained any more and I prefer MeGUI anyway, but HDConvertToX displays the aspect ratio error as a percentage as you make adjustments. I always thought that was a nice addition to the resizing/cropping area.
http://www.videohelp.com/toolsimages/hdconverttox_1192.jpg

The ability to resize up would get my MeGUI improvement vote. Doing it the way other programs tend to.... changing the color of the resize text area to let you know you're doing it, but not actually stopping you.....
Now that MeGUI can do mod2 resizing, the ability to resize up would be next on my wish list. :)

Hi, you can download this script http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=165004

In Megui, you write: Subtitle(String(Aspect_Error(4,0,-2,0))). If you want specify output dimensions, then:

Subtitle(String(Aspect_Error(4,0,-2,0, 640, 480)))

Thanks for fixing the status window bug. It was really starting to 'bug' me. I often like to change the priority depending on what else I'm doing and I was unable to do this easily with that bug.

Also thanks for adding subtitle support for .mp4. Excellent.

[unknownsoldierX]

I've just had a horrible experience. I set MeGUI to encode a video, edited the audio encode job to switch to a different audio track, but I forgot to edit the mux job.

MeGUI worked on the video for over 5 hours, completed the video encode, tried to mux and gave the error "Exception message: Calling setup of processor failed with error 'Required file 'd:\audio.mp3' is missing". It then deleted the video track it just spent 5 hours encoding.

edit: I understand that there is a "delete intermediate files" option, but it should not do that if there has been a muxing error.

[bin_ch]

Zathor, MeGUI stable got mkvtoolnix updated to 5.9.0, but that version of mkvmerge has a bug (https://trac.bunkus.org/ticket/807) on muxing date, you might want to push a pre-release (https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/) build.

[Zathor]

If you go to the megui main site and download the archive file 2237 core and try to extract it. For me it will give an error that the archive is corrupted.
Thanks - I have fixed that yesterday. As I do not have direct control of the mirror site I have uploaded the same file with another name and it seems to work now. Additionally I have uploaded a fully extracted archive to SF.

I understand that there is a "delete intermediate files" option, but it should not do that if there has been a muxing error.
For sure - please upload the full log file covering all involved jobs.

[Zathor]

I cannot reproduce it. Was the mux job part of an AutoEncode or OneClick job? Or did you created this mux job with the tools\muxer tool? If yes which one (Adaptive / AVI)?

[unknownsoldierX]

I used AutoEncode.

[Zathor]

I used AutoEncode.
Ok, in that case it is intended as the input vide file is a true intermediate file. Those files will be deleted when the corresponding job is finished successful or the job will be deleted. The second part has happened in your case. I have to think about the ways to handle that better - currently I have only the idea that a warning message box should appear when deleting such a job.

[unknownsoldierX]

Well, I don't think it makes sense to delete intermediate files if there is an error. It would be great if there were a warning message saying which file(s) were affected. Maybe a prompt asking if MeGUI should delete the involved intermediate file(s).

In my situation, I simply forgot to update the mux job. So the encoding when perfectly fine, but then MeGUI couldn't find the audio file it was told to mux, so it deleted the video file. If there is no prompt before deleting such files, I'd rather MeGUI just leave them. Better to leave a couple gigabytes in a folder, which I would easily find and deal with myself, than delete a perfectly fine video stream that took hours to encode.

Disabling the deleting of intermediate files altogether avoids this issue, but then I'd manually be deleting files all the time.

In short, if MeGUI has a file missing error, it shouldn't freak out and delete all the other files which are most likely still viable.

[Zathor]

In short, if MeGUI has a file missing error, it shouldn't freak out and delete all the other files which are most likely still viable.
Correct, MeGUI will not do that on his own in case of an error. The files will still be available.
Instead you have deleted the job in the queue which will then delete the intermediate files - this is the part of the cleanup process. As said before for this part a warning message should be added.

[unknownsoldierX]

I don't remember deleting the job, but perhaps I did. Maybe with the warning message, you could have a prompt asking if the files should be deleted?

[Zathor]

Maybe with the warning message, you could have a prompt asking if the files should be deleted?
Yes, something like that will be added in the future.



2239 [AviSynth Script Creator] added "Aspect Ratio Error"
2238 [AviSynth Script Creator] enabled upsizing

[Overdrive80]

Hey Zathor, I have perceived that value of aspect error is diferent to mine. I attach snapshot:

http://s2.postimage.org/p2f17fkvp/Algorithm.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/p2f17fkvp/)

I use this algorithm:

Function aspect_error(clip B, int "L_crop", int "U_crop", int "R_crop", int "B_crop", int "Op_width", int "Op_height")
{
#Defaults

In_width = B.width()
In_height= B.height()

Op_width = default( Op_width, In_width)
Op_height = default( Op_height, In_height)

#Crop & calc

Crop_width=In_width - abs(L_crop) - abs(R_crop)
Crop_height=In_height - abs(U_crop) - abs(B_crop)

Calc=(1-(float(Op_width*Crop_height))/(float(Crop_width*Op_height)))*100

return Calc
}

If you change crop value (that case) or resize, not exists autorefresh aspect error value.

After update today to last build (2239), I am unable to open AVS Script Creator. :helpful:

[Zathor]

Any error? How are you trying to open the ASC?

[Zathor]

If you change crop value (that case) or resize, not exists autorefresh aspect error value.
Thank you very much - indeed the crop event was not checked (resize is checked) and it will be fixed in the next build. Beside that I use already more or less the same code as you so the result should be the same:

int iHeight = (int)file.VideoInfo.Height - Cropping.top - Cropping.bottom;
int iWidth = (int)file.VideoInfo.Width - Cropping.left - Cropping.right;
double aspectError = Math.Abs(1 - (iWidth * (double)verticalResolution.Value) / (iHeight * (double)horizontalResolution.Value));

[Overdrive80]

@Zathor I believe that the use of abs, in this case, is not necessary. Negative values ​​also represent a valid case, indicate zoom or upsize.

[hello_hello]

Wow! Ask and you shall receive..... and over the xmas period too!

Just a thank you for changing MeGUI's resizing to allow resizing "up" and for the addition of the aspect error information. If I had a first born, he/she would now be yours Zathor. :)

A few things.....(MeGUI 2243)
The light grey text is pretty hard to read when the background turns red. At least using my monitor.

When you activate the resizing, the aspect ratio error turns red when it's equal to or greater than the acceptable aspect error set it MeGUI's options (I assume). Which means, as I have the acceptable aspect error set to 0%, the aspect ratio error box is always red, even when I'm not actually resizing. Just checking anamorphic encoding or enabling resizing will turn it red.

The resize dimension colour change doesn't seem to take cropping into account, only the original source resolution, so it can fail to turn red when you're resizing up even when you are, after cropping. Personally I think as soon as you crop a couple of pixels, the appropriate width or height should turn red if it's not automatically reduced accordingly.

There's a minor GUI oddity between the way the anamorphic encoding options and the "suggest resolution" option interacts. When enabling anamorphic encoding and "resize to mod16", the "suggest resolution" option is available. Change the anamorphic option to something else and it becomes greyed out. Switch back to the "resize to mod16" anamorphic option and it remains greyed out until the anamorphic encoded option is disabled completely and then re-enabled.

Currently the aspect error calculation seems to work based on the source storage aspect ratio rather than the display aspect ratio and I'm not sure it's offering the correct aspect ratio error when using anamorphic encoding. Is it supposed to?? For example when opening a 704x384 AVI and cropping 2 pixels from one side, with resizing still at 704x384 the aspect error displayed is 0.235%. With anamorphic encoding enabled and the resolution the same, MeGUI adds 170:93 as the aspect ratio to the script which seems correct, in which case shouldn't the aspect ratio error reduce accordingly?
When opening a PAL 16:9 DVD with resizing left at 720x576 (non-anamorphic), MeGUI displays a 0% aspect error. Using "suggest mod16 resolution" resizes to 720x400 but increases the aspect error to around 30%, so I guess the calculation isn't taking the source pixel aspect ratio into account.

MeGUI's anamorphic encoding option seems to do it's resizing in an odd fashion since the changes, when using the anamorphic resize to mod16 option.... which I guess becomes resize to mod2 or mod4 depending on the "suggest resolution" setting. It's the same when resizing to square pixels with "suggest resolution" enabled. With it set to mod2, cropping 2 pixels from the side of a PAL DVD automatically changes the resizing to 720x578 while the height displays red, rather than resize down to 718x576. Cropping 4 pixels gives me 720x580 instead of 716x576. Of course it's easy enough to manually change the width to 716 and MeGUI will change the height back to 576 but it seems to be calculating the wrong way. A week ago MeGUI wouldn't let me resize up, today it's almost insisting. ;) It'd be more consistent if cropping the width reduces the width the same way cropping the height reduces the height.

The aspect error being displayed and the aspect ratio MeGUI adds to the script can't always both be correct, as the aspect ratio being added to the script changes according to the "acceptable aspect error" setting in MeGUI's options, however the aspect ratio error calculation does not. I'm still not sure if the aspect error being displayed is supposed be correct when using anamorphic encoding, but if it's supposed to be, I guess it isn't.
For instance if you have the "acceptable aspect error" set to 2% in MeGUI's settings, cropping a few pixels from a DVD won't change the aspect ratio being added to the script. It'll stay as 16:9 until you've cropped more than a few more pixels. The Aspect Ratio Error being displayed increases with each crop, which is at least the expected result.
When you change the acceptable aspect error option to 0%, the aspect ratio being added to the script changes each time you crop as it should, but the aspect error calculations remain the same as before. I assume if the aspect ratio being added to the script changes according to the "accpetable aspect error" setting, so too should the aspect error calculation?

Anyway, thanks again for the resizing improvements!! I guess either there's still a few bugs, or I'm simply not understanding how it should work. It's really only since the changes I've started using MeGUI to do the resizing. Until a few days ago I've been adding it to the script manually, so maybe I've still got to get my head around how MeGUI does it. :)

[Zathor]

Changed

When you activate the resizing, the aspect ratio error turns red when it's equal to or greater than the acceptable aspect error set it MeGUI's options (I assume). Which means, as I have the acceptable aspect error set to 0%, the aspect ratio error box is always red, even when I'm not actually resizing.
Fixed - it is now only red if the value is greater than (and not equal) to the selected error value.

The resize dimension colour change doesn't seem to take cropping into account, only the original source resolution, so it can fail to turn red when you're resizing up even when you are, after cropping.
Fixed

I guess either there's still a few bugs, or I'm simply not understanding how it should work.
The point is that I am not using the resizing part myself very often and I have never used the anamorphic resizing part for productive videos. Not the best prerequisites for rewriting that part (and that is one reason I did that not before) - I will likely miss some options and therefore I am glad that you provide so much and constructive feedback. I will come back to your other points later as I have to check several things and I have no time for that at the moment.

[hello_hello]

Thank you Zathor.

While I was playing around with MeGUI I had a look at StaxRip and it appears I was wrong when I posted a while back and said it displays the correct aspect ratio error for anamorphic encoding. It doesn't. I'm pretty sure HDConvertToX only calculated it correctly when resizing to square pixels and the Yoda Resize Calculator does the same (well it displays the correct aspect ratio to use for anamorphic encoding but the aspect error calculation assumes square pixels).

As MeGUI didn't seem to be always calculating the aspect error correctly when resizing DVDs to square pixels I didn't go as far as trying to work out whether it should be getting it right when using anamorphic encoding, and given none of the above programs do I thought maybe it's hard to implement, or just not necessary when using anamorphic encoding, given MeGUI basically takes care of the aspect ratio via the script.

If that's the case, maybe relabelling the aspect error calculation as "non-anamorphic aspect error" might avoid confusion, or disabling the calculation completely when anamorphic encoding is enabled to make it clear it's not required might be an idea.

Anyway.... thanks for all the hard work on MeGUI. It's greatly appreciated.

[Zathor]

There's a minor GUI oddity between the way the anamorphic encoding options and the "suggest resolution" option interacts. When enabling anamorphic encoding and "resize to mod16", the "suggest resolution" option is available. Change the anamorphic option to something else and it becomes greyed out. Switch back to the "resize to mod16" anamorphic option and it remains greyed out until the anamorphic encoded option is disabled completely and then re-enabled.
Thx - fixed.

Also I changed it so that the aspect error will only be shown when not using the anamorphic options.

Therefore only one of your remarks below is open - the resizing behavior when using anamorphic options.

[durwood]

I updated to version 2237 the other day and it does some strange things that I cannot figure out how to change. If it's by design and not a bug I apologize.

Using the oneclick it forces pgcdemux even if I have the movie only? Maybe I don't understand the purpose.

Also in oneclick, it encodes all audio tracks even if there is only 1 selected and no other additional ones selected.

[hello_hello]

Thx - fixed.

Also I changed it so that the aspect error will only be shown when not using the anamorphic options.

You're awesome Zathor!

I was thinking a little about anamorphic encoding vs resizing to square pixels and how the "suggest resolution" mod16/8/4/2 option interacts with each. Maybe the "resize to mod16" anamorphic option could now use a new name. Something like "resize to mod16/8/4/2" to reflect the fact it now changes according to the mod setting? Just to make it less ambiguous. I know it's only a little thing.

And I guess one day it'd be nice if the overcrop and undercrop anamorphic options all followed suit and obeyed the mod/16/8/4/2 setting to keep everything consistent, as mod16 only is kind of obsolete these days. The "encode non-mod16" option would be a handy one to keep though as then there'd still be one anamorphic option which ignores the mod16/8/4/2 setting.

Just some thoughts anyway.....

Thanks again!

[invy]

Hello, I just updated to 2237 and I have a couple of questions:

1. Is there a reason why when I use the OneClick, it is adding a duplicate/extra audio job to the queue, and therefore making it encode the same exact track twice?

2. I used the OneClick and selected a folder of 5 MPGs to encode. Why, then, when I check the Queue, do I only see 1 set (idx,oneclick) of jobs appear for the 1st MPEG? The 2nd set doesn't appear until the 1st is done, the 3rd set doesn't appear until the 2nd is done, etc etc.

Was this intentionally done so MeGUI doesn't stall for so long while adding an entire folder that could contain a large amount of files?

[Zathor]

Using the oneclick it forces pgcdemux even if I have the movie only?
To avoid problems with multiple PGCs.

Also in oneclick, it encodes all audio tracks even if there is only 1 selected and no other additional ones selected.

1. Is there a reason why when I use the OneClick, it is adding a duplicate/extra audio job to the queue, and therefore making it encode the same exact track twice?

This does not happen for me. Are you sure that you have selected only one audio track? Also please provide the complete log.

I believe that this revision breaks EVO files & Seamless branching extraction. I've an error when I trigger the Jobs Creation...I'm investigating.
Are you sure? I just extracted some files from a EVO and two combined VOB files without problem.

2. I used the OneClick and selected a folder of 5 MPGs to encode. Why, then, when I check the Queue, do I only see 1 set (idx,oneclick) of jobs appear for the 1st MPEG? The 2nd set doesn't appear until the 1st is done, the 3rd set doesn't appear until the 2nd is done, etc etc.
Was this intentionally done so MeGUI doesn't stall for so long while adding an entire folder that could contain a large amount of files?
No, the reason is that if you have several large files which need to be demuxed your hard disk space may be not sufficient. Therefore one job will be handled completly and then the next one will be created - deleting the intermediate files inbetween.

[invy]

I think it may be because I pressed the "+" next to where it says Audio 1 in the One Click Encoder window? Could that have been the reason for 2 identical audio jobs?

Also, is there a way to make it add all of them to queue at once? (for those that are certain hdd space won't be an issue)

EDIT: Fixed. Yeah I think that's why it was adding duplicates...

[Zathor]

Also, is there a way to make it add all of them to queue at once? (for those that are certain hdd space won't be an issue)
Maybe I will add that in the future. But I do not understand the reason. Why do you want to see all jobs?

[invy]

Maybe I will add that in the future. But I do not understand the reason. Why do you want to see all jobs?

Well, for one, so I could queue some to a secondary worker.

And two, every once in a while I may have a MPEG file that would stall while its being indexed due to some minor corruption (OTA caps that could usually be fixed by a quickstream fix in VideoRedo). So as you could imagine, the result would be nothing further being processed from that point on in the queue.

Whereas, typically, before the update, I could just wait around a few minutes to make sure all the jobs were indexed. And from there on, I could start a secondary queue if need be (back to my first reason...) .

[Zathor]

MeGUI's anamorphic encoding option seems to do it's resizing in an odd fashion since the changes, when using the anamorphic resize to mod16 option.... which I guess becomes resize to mod2 or mod4 depending on the "suggest resolution" setting.

A week ago MeGUI wouldn't let me resize up, today it's almost insisting. ;) It'd be more consistent if cropping the width reduces the width the same way cropping the height reduces the height.
Thx & fixed. Btw. this was not caused by the recent changes. MeGUI "since ages" did an upsize in such a case. With the recent changes (mod2 and marked red) it is now better visible.

@Zathor: Is it possible to put only muxing jobs in higher priority (or normal at least) by default? It's always bothered me that muxing always goes hell slow when it's on "low" priority.

Like right now, I came back to my PC to see it was muxing a 1.23 GB file. The time elapsed was over 5 MINUTES and it was not even half way done. The moment I put it on below normal, normal, or above normal priorities, it zipped right through and finished it within a minute.

I want to keep audio/video jobs on low, though. And, as it stands right now, I believe MeGUI remembers the priority of the last/current job, and when the status window of the next job pops up it will use the same priority of the last one that finished.

It would great if there is a way, or if not, I'd like to put in a request for it. :)

Hello Zathor,

thanks for all the work.

I often use MeGui with the option Oneclick to bring avi (with audio ac3 or mp3) in mp4 (video x264 and audio aac 48kbps).
Sometimes it doesn't work properly:

1. I noticed that when the audio in the avi was muxed with delay (positive or negative) Oneclick gives an error and was not able to extract the audio.
2. Sometimes all seems to go on well, but at the end (but not always) the muxed mp4 files was not in syncro though the avi was perfect.

The one point I can get around with having the avi no delay in the audio track, but point 2.... I don't know.
Now I'm using AutoEncoder, is it not the same thing... OneClick is better for me.

Please sorry for my english. I wish you a good new year and thanks again.

Hi Zathor, I have found a bug in the Http Proxy code.

If you check the Use Proxy option in settings but don't enter server details then you get an error the next time MeGUI is launched:

MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.

This is un-recoverable and MeGUI exits and so you cannot fix the settings through the UI.

I could only fix it by editing the settings.xml file:

<UseHttpProxy>true</UseHttpProxy>

to

<UseHttpProxy>false</UseHttpProxy>

Whilst you are looking at this part of the code, could you implement system proxy details pass through for the user credentials as well?

Without knowing how you are implementing your call to the update server, I can't provide a full code sample but, as a starting point, to access the system proxy settings you can use:

System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

[Zathor]

1. I noticed that when the audio in the avi was muxed with delay (positive or negative) Oneclick gives an error and was not able to extract the audio.
2. Sometimes all seems to go on well, but at the end (but not always) the muxed mp4 files was not in syncro though the avi was perfect.
Please post the log and also try an older FFMS build (like 2.17).

If you check the Use Proxy option in settings but don't enter server details then you get an error the next time MeGUI is launched
Thx, fixed in 2254.

As I do not have a proxy I cannot test it. If you can provide a patch I will implement it. The relevant code part is core\gui\UpdateWindow.cs:1270


WebClient serverClient = new WebClient();
WebProxy wprox = null;
ICredentials icred = null;
if (meGUISettings.HttpProxyUid != null)
icred = new NetworkCredential(meGUISettings.HttpProxyUid, meGUISettings.HttpProxyPwd);
wprox = new WebProxy(meGUISettings.HttpProxyAddress + ":" + meGUISettings.HttpProxyPort, true, null, icred);
WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = wprox;
serverClient.Proxy = wprox;

Zathor,
I just updated to version 2253 and the adjustments to the resizing are great. Thanks! But.......

The calculations for the aspect ratio/error must be a little off at times.
16:9 PAL DVDs resized to 704x396 show an aspect error of 0%, which is correct, yet if you open a video of different dimensions, tell MeGUI the input aspect ratio is 16:9 and resize to 704x396 again, it shows a slight aspect ratio error. A very tiny one admittedly but 704x396 is still exactly 16:9 regardless of the input resolution.
The one which stands out the most is when resizing 4:3 DVDs to 640x480. The aspect ratio error shown is 0.13%. Oddly enough I opened a 704x384 AVI and told MeGUI it's input aspect ratio was 4:3, and a 640x480 resize showed a 0% aspect ratio error. I've sometimes wondered in the past if the aspect ratio MeGUI adds to the script was just a little off.....

A couple of little nitpicks if I may......
The anamorphic "to the selected mod" change works well, only using the undercrop and overcrop anamorphic options you can't actually select the mod because it's greyed out. I guess the "selected mod" setting is connected to the resizing so maybe it's not worth worrying about, but I'm OCD when it comes to consistency.
The anamorphic options aside from "resize to" disable the resizing, but the resize fields sometimes turn red when you crop. Maybe fixing that is already on your to-do list?

Anyhow..... thanks once more.

[hello_hello]

While I'm here...... :)

When you open a video via DirectShow MeGUI automatically adds frame rate conversion to the script, which I think is a good idea, but I've often wondered, why not do the same thing for ffmsindex? AVISource uses Assumefps instead, although maybe there's a good reason for that, but given ffmsindex can open all kinds of video including AVIs, I can't think of a reason why adding it's own frame rate conversion to the script would be a bad idea. I'd assume if the video is CFR then adding it would make no difference, but if it's VFR at least MeGUI could encode it without losing audio sync. Am I missing something?

Cheers.

Changing the input AR did not refresh the aspect error calculation. That is now fixed. Beside that I can not reproduce your problem. Will test later.

I've sometimes wondered in the past if the aspect ratio MeGUI adds to the script was just a little off.....
The calculation of the aspect error is complety new and has nothing in common with the other logic regarding SAR/PAR/DAR values which will be used and applied to the script for anamorphic encodings.


The anamorphic "to the selected mod" change works well, only using the undercrop and overcrop anamorphic options you can't actually select the mod because it's greyed out.
Fixed


The anamorphic options aside from "resize to" disable the resizing, but the resize fields sometimes turn red when you crop.

Also fixed - now the same logic as for the non-anamorphic upsizing takes place. Therefore the width/height will be reduced accordingly if upsizing is not enabled.

Thanks again for your feedback!

[Zathor]

The one which stands out the most is when resizing 4:3 DVDs to 640x480. The aspect ratio error shown is 0.13%. Oddly enough I opened a 704x384 AVI and told MeGUI it's input aspect ratio was 4:3, and a 640x480 resize showed a 0% aspect ratio error.

When doing a non-anamorphic encode the target SAR is 1:1 (square pixel). Therefore the input video must be converted also to SAR 1:1 to get the aspect ratio error:
720x576 with an aspect ratio of 4:3 has a SAR of 16/15 which results in 768x576 in SAR 1:1. Therefore you have an slight error with 640x480. Instead an 704x384 4:3 file has a SAR of 8/11 resulting in 512x384 for square pixels - wich is the same as 640x480 and therefore 0% aspect ratio error.

When you open a video via DirectShow MeGUI automatically adds frame rate conversion to the script, which I think is a good idea, but I've often wondered, why not do the same thing for ffmsindex?
Adding AssumeFPS can cause problem with telecined video as FFMS will alter the frame rate. At least that is the reason I remeber.

[Zathor]

2255 [AVS Script Creator] resize is enabled by default in the profiles (only for new profiles)
[AVS Script Creator] suggest resolution is automatically pre-selected when doing a resize
[AVS Script Creator] DAR changes also triggers a recalc of the "Aspect Ratio Error"
[AVS Script Creator] avoid upsizing (if disallowed) when "Clever (TM) anamorphic encoding" is used
[AVS Script Creator] some minor cosmetics / changes
2254 [Update] fixed a crash if the proxy has been enabled without server address

[hello_hello]

When doing a non-anamorphic encode the target SAR is 1:1 (square pixel). Therefore the input video must be converted also to SAR 1:1 to get the aspect ratio error:
720x576 with an aspect ratio of 4:3 has a SAR of 16/15 which results in 768x576 in SAR 1:1. Therefore you have an slight error with 640x480.

Maybe I'm just being dense, unless there's rounding involved when doing the math which is causing a slight aspect error to be displayed, but even so 768x576 and 640x480 are both exactly 4:3.

(576/768)*640=480 or
(720/576)*(16/15)*480 = 640

However you do it, it comes out exact. StaxRip and the Yoda Resize Calculator both agree. MeGUI has always seemed to give slightly different results to other programs. Generally only by a couple of tenths of a percent I think, but I'm sure it always has. Many times I've opened a "strict" anamorphic encode and compared it to the original DVD and thought the aspect ratio was off by a pixel or two. I'd always assumed it's the way MPC-HC resizes, but now.....

There's another little oddity in the "trust what MeGUI is telling me" department. It seems to happen regularly when opening video containing square pixels (I haven't played with anything else much yet). For example I just opened a 640x480 AVI and enabled resizing but left it on 640x480. MeGUI displays a slight aspect error (it's only around 0.16% but it's there). The only way to correct it is to manually select the input aspect ratio (1.333) and then adjust the resizing or cropping. Once you return the the cropping back to zero or the resizing back to 640x480, MeGUI will then display a zero aspect error as it should.

I think maybe there's too much rounding happening when calculating the input aspect ratio although I'm not sure how it works. For me, opening a 704x384 AVI displays an input aspect ratio of 1.833, which is correct, but when enabling resizing it displays a 0.142% aspect error at 704x384. Changing the input display aspect ratio to 1.832 (which unless I'm going mad MeGUI actually did itself once) displays the same aspect error at 704x384. With an input aspect ratio of 1.834 the aspect error changes to 0%, but the problem is that's not the input aspect ratio MeGUI chooses when opening the file.
Once again too, changing the input aspect ratio has no effect on the aspect error being displayed until cropping or resizing has been adjusted.

Cheers.

Edit: I just saw your previous post. I see input aspect ratio changes now cause the aspect error to be recalculated.

[Zathor]

Maybe I'm just being dense, unless there's rounding involved when doing the math which is causing a slight aspect error to be displayed, but even so 768x576 and 640x480 are both exactly 4:3.
Yes, there was a rounding problem which resulted in 767x576 causing the error. If will upload a fix in the next minutes.


Many times I've opened a "strict" anamorphic encode and compared it to the original DVD and thought the aspect ratio was off by a pixel or two. I'd always assumed it's the way MPC-HC resizes, but now.....
This aspect error calc is completely new an has only the SAR calculation in common with the internal functions for anamorphic encodings. Of course they may be wrong as well - but in that case they are wrong for years. Nevertheless when you find a reproducable problem in that part I will have a look as well.

Please try 2256 and let me now if everything is fine.

[Overdrive80]

How its possible?? http://s9.postimage.org/j7xwecnkb/Captura.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/j7xwecnkb/)

Yoda calc and me, obtain the same result than is very different to showed by megui.

EDIT: Ok http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=22497

[Zathor]

MeGUI calculates it in this way:
AR Error = 1-((Input Width*Output Height)/(Output Width*Input Height)) (which is the same as in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=130085#post130085)
Which is in this case:
AR Error = 1-((714*480)/(704*480))=1-(714/704)=-0,014204545454545=-1,4204545454545%

You and Yoda are calculating it:
AR Error = 1-((704*480)/(714*480))=1-(704/714)=0,0140056022408964=1,40056022408964%

Which one is correct?

You can say (with simplified values) that 100 is 33% larger than 75 - and 75 is 25% smaller than 100. So both are showing a correct aspect ratio error but the point of view is different. Staxrip for example is using the same as MeGUI. Which is the most common point of view? I can change it if required.

Hi Zathor,

Here is the patch to use system proxy if a username is not supplied:

http://pastebin.com/yaEMEcUc

I have tested this here at work this morning and it works

Of course this may require a stable build release otherwise those who rely on it won't be able to get the revision which fixes it :D

[Zathor]

Thanks - does this also work when using a proxy without user name / password? Or do I need to include a new setting if no credentials, specified credentials or default credentials should be used?

[Shevek]

Thanks - does this also work when using a proxy without user name / password?

Ah, I'm not sure.

Perhaps we should have an additional checkbox "Use System Proxy"

Actually, thinking about it, the system credentials include the URI of the proxy so it needs to work differently anyway.

Should be:

Use Proxy?:-

Yes: - Use System Proxy?:-

Yes:- use CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

No: prompt for url/port/uid/pwd

How easy is it to add a new flag to settings?

EDIT: I've found the MeGUISettings class - I'll have a play

[Shevek]

Is the Sourceforge repo not up to date for read only checkouts?

I am only seeing up to 2232 on 9th Dec and there have been many more commits since then...

[Zathor]

Perhaps we should have an additional checkbox "Use System Proxy"
Maybe a combobox with all the 4 settings (no proxy, system proxy, proxy with and without user/pwd)

But isn't there a way to remove this whole part in the settings and use the system proxy (= IE proxy) setting all the time?

[Zathor]

Use https://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megui for gthe checkout. There has been a move to a new repository which I have missed.

Good idea

Hmm, yes that's true. It's a .Net application so it will always have access to the IE settings, as both Chrome and Firefox do. I'll do some more testing on my work and home PCs and ensure that this will work in both situations.

Use https://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megui for gthe checkout. There has been a move to a new repository which I have missed.

Great, I now have the latest code, tx!

Hi Zathor,

It will need to be the multiple options as there could be some users out there who use proxy servers which require a separate log in from their system account (i.e. windows clients on a network that uses a unix/linux proxy server)

Proposed solution:

Replace global setting "usehttpproxy" with an enum setting "HttpProxyMode":
public enum ProxyMode { None = 0, SystemProxy = 1, CustomProxy = 2, CustomProxyWithLogin = 3 }

On Settings form remove the checkbox and replace with drop down with options from the enum

None, SystemProxy = address/port/uid/pswd disabled
CustomProxy = address,port enabled, uid/pswd disabled
CustomProxyWithLogin = address/port/uid/pswd enabled

Logic in UpdateCacher.cs and UpdateWindow.cs updated to build proxy settings based on HttpProxyMode

How does that sound? I'll get on with coding this and provide a patch.

Let me know if you want anything tweaked.

[Zathor]

Sounds good. Looking forward to your patch!

[Shevek]

Having problems opening the Settings form :angry:

Could not find type 'MeGUI.core.gui.TargetSizeSCBox'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced. If this type is a part of your development project, make sure that the project has been successfully built using settings for your current platform or Any CPU.

Have you seen similar?

I'm using VS2010 on Windows 7 x64 (both fully patched)

[Zathor]

Switch to the x86 platform in VS. This happens also for me when x64 is enabled (and I do not know why).

[Shevek]

Ah, that's fixed it :D

Yeah, I noticed after for this reason, I edited the post with the link. Really I think that you method is more proper, only I want know that happens it.

Thanks

Hi Zathor,

Here is the patch:

http://pastebin.com/BW9dmF9k

It should be applied in the trunk folder

It includes a new helper class core/util/HttpProxy.cs as the proxy is used in both core/gui/UpdateCacher.cs and core/gui/UpdateWindow.cs

[tebasuna51]

MeGUI calculates it in this way:
AR Error = 1-((Input Width*Output Height)/(Output Width*Input Height)) (which is the same as in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=130085#post130085)

You and Yoda are calculating it:
AR Error = 1-((704*480)/(714*480))=1-(704/714)=0,0140056022408964=1,40056022408964%

Which one is correct?
None, a few of maths:

A relative error is = Error/Exact_value

Or
(Approximated_value - Exact_value) / Exact_value = (Approximated_value / Exact_value) - 1

Here the AR Exact_value is 714/480 and the Approximated_value is 704/480 then

AR relative error = (704/714) - 1= -1,40056022408964%

1,40% less (-) than Exact_value.

EDIT: Suggested formula:
AR Error = ((Output Width*Input Height)/(Input Width*Output Height)) - 1

[bamsebo]

I have a problem with the latest release 2237. Queue processing seems to have changed. Normally I will queue files ready for indexing but process them one at a time by right clicking and "Send to Temporary Worker" Normally this will process only that job. With the latest, when doing that it seems to work as if I had clicked the "start" button and wants to process all other jobs in the queue.

Is there a way round that or will the old method return in a future release?

BTW its a great suite of programs, been using it for a while now, keep up the good work!

[Overdrive80]

EDIT: Suggested formula:

Ok. I understand than:

Absolute_error = Approximated_value (Resize) - Exact_value (Crop)

Ok, then my algorthym was wrong by the order of the summands.

I agree with Tebasuna51, my mistake.

Thanks, Tebasuna51 and Overdrive80. I changed the calculation - hopefully the last time ;)

The "Temporary Worker" handling has once again changed in the latest development builds. Either switch to the development update server or wait for the next stable build.

Zathor: could you please respond to my previous post, please? d:

Also for whomever is/are the talented coding folks here.. I would like to request there be a way in OneClick mode so that it will automatically select the correct OneClick profile, based on the filename (partial match) of the file you selected, and add it to the queue.

So, it would go something like this:

1. First, obviously you would need to setup each string you want to match. Let's say you type in, 'banana', and next to it you select the OneClick profile it would use. We'll call it 'banana', too. Click a button to confirm and add it. (MeGUI would save this information to a settings file)

2. Next, the actual auto-loading in action! You would select a file, and drag it over to the auto load window. I drag over a file named, "AdventuresofBananaS01E05.mpg" (multiple file drag or a folder load would be convenient here).

3. It would acknowledge that you dropped a file in the window, and whether or it found a matching OC profile to use. Something like, "Found a match! Using 'banana' profile for 'AdventuresofBananaS01E05.mpg'..... Done!"

4. It will log it for each file you dragged over, or if you loaded a folder, for each supported filetype it found.

5. From here, you can delete any which one that you don't want, re-order them, check the "and Start" box, or click the 'Queue' button right next to it.

Wouldn't this be like the coolest, and more importantly, most convenient thing ever?

Because quite frankly I've grown tired of having to navigate through MeGUI's interface. Not that there is too much wrong with it - it's the best GUI around :p - But, it's just the fact that I have had things to encode, on just about a daily basis, and I simply cannot do it anymore.

I'm not the first one to request this, am I? I would really love a feature like this.

[TSoft]

"Wouldn't this be like the coolest, and more importantly, most convenient thing ever?"

I don't think so.

I think the most important thing (and here I am sure I am not the only one who asked for it) is the compressibility test XD

[bilditup1]

Request: the mp4 muxer actually does almost everything right in terms of getting things to work properly on iDevices. However, there's one thing left out - specifying a group for audio tracks, so that they don't play all at once. This is achievable by adding ":group=1" to the end of each audio track's command line section, and, additionally, ":disabled" to the end of each audio track *except* for the first one.

One nice feature is the autoconversion of chapters from ogg to xml formats when specifying iPhone or iPod output; I haven't found a separate tool that does this. But it would be nice to have an extra option, a checkbox, say, that allowed the chapters to be added in the original txt format as well as in the xml format, to foster the widest compatibility. Or maybe a radio button, one each for 'mux txt', 'convert to xml', 'use both', with an accompanying tooltip explanation.

It might be worth doing the same for srt (which are also autoconverted, though to my knowledge this is a feature of mp4box).

I would build this stuff myself if I knew what is necessary to compile it.

Thank you very much for listening, and thank you very much for making this indispensible tool!

[hello_hello]

I don't know if there's plans to do so but I still think the Resize section could be tweaked a little when using any of the anamorphic options which don't resize. As an example using a PAL 4:3 DVD.....

If I crop 4 pixels from one side using "resize to mod16" the width remains at 720 but turns red as it should. However it does the same using any of the other mod16 options which don't resize, and as the width turns red it implies resizing even though there isn't any. Doing the same thing while selecting "overcrop to mod16 " should ideally cause the resize width to automatically change to 704 etc in order for MeGUI to correctly display the output resize dimensions.

Also the way the resizing displayed is updated makes it inconsistent (even though in reality it doesn't apply). For example selecting "overcrop to mod16" before enabling cropping and then cropping 4 pixels from the side causes MeGUI to display 720x576 with the width background red, enabling "overcrop to mod16" after cropping causes it to display 720x592 with both width and height background red, and finally if you crop, enable "resize to mod16" and then switch to "overcrop to mod16", MeGUI displays 720x592 with the width given a red border on a white background while the height background turns red.

I realise in all the above examples MeGUI isn't actually resizing, but ideally it should display the correct output dimensions and if you change the desired mod after cropping and resizing, any changes MeGUI makes to under/over cropping should also be reflected in the output dimensions it displays.

I guess the aspect ratio/error discussion has continued over the last few days and the calculations have been changed again since 2256? If that's the case then the rest of this post is no doubt obsolete as I was just wanting to report 2256 still gets it slightly wrong. Only enough to be noticeable occasionally, but it still causes MeGUI to report an aspect error sometimes when in fact there should be none.
I tried tebasuna51's formula on the video's which were causing MeGUI to display an incorrect aspect error when resizing and it seems to be spot on, so I'll look forward to the next MeGUI release.

Thanks for all the hard work guys.

@Invy: Sorry, no time and interest in your two requests at the moment. Please add them to the feature request tracker so that they get not lost. Especially the first one will be added but I have no ETA.

Request: the mp4 muxer actually does almost everything right in terms of getting things to work properly on iDevices. However, there's one thing left out - specifying a group for audio tracks, so that they don't play all at once. This is achievable by adding ":group=1" to the end of each audio track's command line section, and, additionally, ":disabled" to the end of each audio track *except* for the first one.
Does this harm the compatibility of MP4 files with specific devices? I have no native MP4 devices to test. If no I will add it.

One nice feature is the autoconversion of chapters from ogg to xml formats when specifying iPhone or iPod output; I haven't found a separate tool that does this. But it would be nice to have an extra option, a checkbox, say, that allowed the chapters to be added in the original txt format as well as in the xml format, to foster the widest compatibility. Or maybe a radio button, one each for 'mux txt', 'convert to xml', 'use both', with an accompanying tooltip explanation.

Same question as above. Is it possible to add both formats wiohtout harming the compatibility? So is it possible to add "-add filename.xml:chap -chap filename.txt"?

I guess the aspect ratio/error discussion has continued over the last few days and the calculations have been changed again since 2256? If that's the case then the rest of this post is no doubt obsolete as I was just wanting to report 2256 still gets it slightly wrong. Only enough to be noticeable occasionally, but it still causes MeGUI to report an aspect error sometimes when in fact there should be none.
The changed calculation will not have an effect on your mentioned scenario where an error is reported when there is none. So please provide an example.

Regarding your other points I have to reproduce it later.

[Kurtnoise]

Hi Zathor,

HappY NeW YeaR...;)

Does this harm the compatibility of MP4 files with specific devices?
nope...this trick is used to switch audio tracks. I've an iphone to test this. No worry.

Same question as above. Is it possible to add both formats wiohtout harming the compatibility? So is it possible to add "-add filename.xml:chap -chap filename.txt"?
I don't think so...At least, Apple devices should not be read the track corresponding to the -chap filename.txt, only the first one. Incompatibility may arise with other players, not Apple devices...I'll check it out.

[Zathor]

Happy new year :) - and thanks!

Here is the patch:

Thanks again - it has been added a few minutes ago to the trunk.

[hello_hello]

My mistake, I think. I tried to reproduce it again but couldn't.
I "think" I may have done something silly at the time such as used DirectShow for decoding while leaving ffdshow's cropping filter enabled and because MeGUI doesn't display the input resolution I didn't notice it had change. Actually..... MeGUI displaying the input resolution as well as aspect ratio..... that'd be nice. ;)

But sorry, I guess I made a boo-boo.

[hello_hello]

I think the most important thing (and here I am sure I am not the only one who asked for it) is the compressibility test XD

Maybe it'd be too hard to implement for the usage it'd get given quality based, rather than file size based encoding seems to be more the norm these days. StaxRip can but I'm not sure if there's any other "currently maintained" GUIs which do.

AutoGK and StaxRip run their compression tests by adding a simple function to the script and it generally produces quite accurate results. You could add the same thing to the script MeGUI creates and then use it to run an encode, which effectively becomes the compression test.

SelectRangeEvery(300, 15)

The above is what AutoGK generally adds to the end of the script which means it encodes the first 15 frames out of every 300 which gives you 5% of the video. It always seems to encode 15 frames in a row but for shorter clips it changes the the range. ie SelectRangeEvery(150, 15) gives you a compression test over 10% of the video. For a five minute video AutoGK uses SelectRangeEvery(43, 15).
I ran one compression test with StaxRip and it used SelectRangeEvery(280, 14) but I guess the end result would be about the same.

For Xvid you'd run the compression test using a single pass encode and a constant quantizer of 2. For x264 I think it's just CRF18 (that seems to be what StaxRip uses). The above method will allow you to at least run a compression test using MeGUI, but given MeGUI won't do it for you, someone may be able to supply the formula for doing the math yourself
Maybe calculating the quality/file size/resolution from a compression test result might be a subject worthy of a new thread. I'd assume once you know the formula it can't be too hard.

[Kurtnoise]

No one use compressibility tests these days with codecs like x264...So, why bother ?

It might be worth doing the same for srt (which are also autoconverted, though to my knowledge this is a feature of mp4box).

I would build this stuff myself if I knew what is necessary to compile it.

Thank you very much for listening, and thank you very much for making this indispensible tool!

I initially posted a feature request here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/feature-requests/495/
and then submitted a patch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/patches/65/

I eschewed modifying the gui in favor of a more practical approach, since SRT subs are converted in any event and never just muxed in - so creating a new device profile seemed silly just for the chapters. I patched the iOS stuff (described in detail at the patch link above) and changed the behavior of chapter adding to always add the ogg chapters, even when also adding xml chapters for iPod and iPhone. This does not break functionality for software that only uses either form of chapter. I'm not sure if this violates a standard (probably does) but it's the practical move and I believe the right one...

[bilditup1]

and, additionally, ":disabled" to the end of each audio track *except* for the first one.

Kurtnoise asked why this is necessary. In my testing I have found that if this is NOT done, then all audio tracks still play all at once, until the user goes and selects one audio track or the other (even if the UI says that the first track is selected). Now, sometimes this does NOT happen, and everything works fine. But the behavior is inconsistent, and adding :disabled has gotten rid of this problem every time I tried opening a file.

Adding the disabled flag both prevents this stupidity and has no detrimental effect in my other players (OpenELEC-xbmc-rpi; MPC-HC w/LAV or with internal filters on Win7 x64)

[Zathor]

If I crop 4 pixels from one side using "resize to mod16" the width remains at 720 but turns red as it should. However it does the same using any of the other mod16 options which don't resize, and as the width turns red it implies resizing even though there isn't any.Doing the same thing while selecting "overcrop to mod16 " should ideally cause the resize width to automatically change to 704 etc in order for MeGUI to correctly display the output resize dimensions.
Thx - fixed.

Also the way the resizing displayed is updated makes it inconsistent (even though in reality it doesn't apply). For example selecting "overcrop to mod16" before enabling cropping and then cropping 4 pixels from the side causes MeGUI to display 720x576 with the width background red, enabling "overcrop to mod16" after cropping causes it to display 720x592 with both width and height background red, and finally if you crop, enable "resize to mod16" and then switch to "overcrop to mod16", MeGUI displays 720x592 with the width given a red border on a white background while the height background turns red.
Also fixed.

The next build will have the "aspect ratio error" for anamorpic encodings enabled again. Both input and output are converted to square pixels and then compared. Interestingly not all settings have 0% AR error. If the expected behavior is that with "Clever anamorphic..." enabled it must always be 0% I will have a look at the reson.

Good idea re detecting ac3.
If you'd like to restrict the audio stuff I suggested to the iOS device profiles then I suppose that's fine; makes no difference to me. I guess if you're gonna be checking for ac3 anyway then you might as well keep things organized.
About the subtitles, it was based on A misunderstanding of how mp4box handles them...and I wasn't really talking about conversions. I thought that srt subs were mixed in to mp4 without any conversion unless the iOS device profiles were used. That's not what happens though. mp4box, in the process of musing, converts the files from srt to the t3xg subtitle format. So my idea to have multiple options, like I suggested for chapters, where the user would specify whether to mux srt, t3xg, or both, made no sense.

[bilditup1]

Oh cool, you guys accepted the patch! Ha. Much less fuss than the ruby people. They want a zillions and one tests. Thanks!

[hello_hello]

Well I hate to harp on the aspect error calculation, but...... (MeGUI 2266)

Take a PAL 4:3 DVD and work out the aspect ratio using 16/15.

(720/576)*(16/15)=1.33333333
So without cropping I resize that to 640x480 and MeGUI shows a zero aspect error which is correct.

Now lets crop 20 pixels from the width and 16 from the height.
(700/560)*(16/15)=1.33333333
Resize that to 640x480 and MeGUI displays a slight aspect error which it shouldn't.

I'm still not sure why MeGUI and Yoda consistently disagree by a small amount. As best as I can tell Yoda is getting it correct.

In the subject of aspect ratios..... now that the aspect error calculation has been enabled when using anamorphic encoding, why should MeGUI ever display anything but a zero aspect error? Even when using the encode non-mod16 method some combinations of cropping produce a slight aspect error, which I'd thought shouldn't happen if you're not resizing at all.

[Zathor]

Well I hate to harp on the aspect error calculation, but......
Thank you very much! Please continue with your feedback. If there are errors they must be fixed.

700/560 with SAR 16/15 are in square pixel 747/560 and have an DAR of 1,333928571. So the error is:
(560 * 640) / (747 * 480) - 1 = -0,0446229%
In my opinion this is correct. What do you think?
EDIT: There seems to be a rounding error. Searching...
EDIT2: Fixed - I am now using not an INT value anymore for the square pixel dimensions. So it is 746,6666666 / 560 = 1,33333 resulting in a 0% aspect ratio error.

That was my question some posts above as well. So should the new SAR setting of the AVS file always result in an aspect error of 0%? Or do we have such slight differences like in the example above?

[Zathor]

Please try 2267:

2267 [AVS Script Creator] improved accuracy of the "Aspect Ratio Error"

[hello_hello]

That was my question some posts above as well. So should the new SAR setting of the AVS file always result in an aspect error of 0%? Or do we have such slight differences like in the example above?

I guess in an ideal world it should always be 0%, which I thought was originally the reason for disabling it when using anamorphic encoding..... because it should then be pretty much obsolete. Even when resizing using anamorphic encoding it shouldn't matter in theory. You should be able to take a 4:3 DVD and resize it to 9634x208 and still set the aspect ratio to 4:3 without an aspect error..

I had noticed small changes to the input aspect ratio sometimes failed to cause the aspect ratio error to change accordingly. For example an input aspect ratio of 1.83 might show the same aspect error as 1.84 (input and output resolution unchanged), but the aspect error displayed for 1.85 would be different. I figured it must be due to rounding somewhere, so hopefully the new method you're using to calculate the aspect error will fix that too.

And to me (I know you said MeGUI has always done it like this) the way MeGUI increases the height when you crop the width rather than reduce the width when resizing drives me nutty. At least now it turns red it's something of a reminder, but from a user perspective cropping 16 pixels from the side of a DVD should give consistent results. This is where my OCD for consistency kicks in.
Open a DVD for encoding. Enable cropping, crop 16 pixels from the sides, enable resizing and you've got 704x576.
Open a DVD for encoding. Enable resizing, enable cropping, crop 16 pixels from the sides and you've got 720x590.
And my favourite:
Open a DVD for encoding. Enable cropping, crop 16 pixels from the sides and you've got 704x576. Enable "resize to mod" anamorphic encoding and you've got 704x576. Disable "resize to mod" anamorphic encoding then enable it again and you've got 720x590. Switch to "encode non mod16" and you're back to 704x576.... etc. etc.
Yoda adjusts the resolution the same way when you let it automatically resize though so maybe there's a reason for it.

Have you compared MeGUI's results with Yoda yourself? MeGUI has always been a little "out" compared to Yoda (only around 0.05%), and it's that tiny amount which seems to cause aspect errors to be displayed when there shouldn't be any. Given you've changed the way it's calculated though, maybe the problem's now solved.

Thanks.

Please try 2267

In theory both calculations should be 100% accurate right now. The display of the error has been corrected which was off by a pixel here and there and also the DAR calculation of anamorphic encodings has been improved. Previously the fraction has been limited to x/100 - now it is x/1000 which should present way better results. In my tests at least everything had an error of 0%.

EDIT: I now had some values with an AR error of 0.000x% using an DAR of 1294:965. I can improve that even more but then we have fractions in the x:10000 area and in my opinion the error is small enough so a change is not necessary.

[hello_hello]

Ahhhhh.... I think a few days ago I mentioned anamorphic encodes sometimes seemed a pixel or two off compared to the source (when I thought maybe that might be contributing to the aspect error error). Not enough to worrying about it, but at least it's nice to know I probably wasn't imagining it. :)

Cheers.

[hello_hello]

Well MeGUI 2267, and as luck would have it my first test crop still produced a 0.00007% aspect error using any of the anamorphic encoding options. PAL 4:3 DVD, 8 pixels cropped from width and 8 pixels cropped from height. Adjusting the cropping either produces a 0%, 0.00007%, or 0.00008% aspect error.

MeGUI doesn't display the aspect error to as many decimal places as Yoda so it's hard to tell, and I'm really sleepy at the moment so don't have the energy to work out how to calculate it correctly myself, but even now that MeGUI uses more exact aspect ratios, it doesn't always quite agree with Yoda, and it seems when it doesn't agree is when it also displays an anamorphic aspect error. When it agrees, it doesn't.

My above example (8 pixels from width and height) produces a 1424:1065 aspect ratio from Yoda, and 1305:976 from MeGUI. So Yoda: 1.337089202. MeGUI 1.337090164
Now I think the difference between the two is also the 0.00007% aspect error MeGUI is displaying when using anamorphic encoding, but don't hold me to that.... I'm too tired to think.

However, if I change the cropping to 6 pixels width, 8 pixels height..... MeGUI 476:355, Yoda 476:355, MeGUI zero aspect error.
4 pixels width, 8 pixels height.... MeGUI 1233:917, Yoda 1432:1065, MeGUI aspect error 0.00008%.

I suspect MeGUI is still a little over-enthusiastic with the rounding somewhere..... :)
It appears the aspect error calculation might be correct but the aspect ratio on which it's based isn't always exact.

Is this driving you to drink yet Zathor?

[Zathor]

Is this driving you to drink yet Zathor? No :cool:

As written above MeGUI will not go over the x:1000 fraction resulting in the slight differences between the two calculators. The question is if higher fractions are really necessary and if yes up to which amount? There may be fractions like 12345678912:2345678911...

I don't think I've ever seen yoda use more than x:"5 digit" fractions but I don't know if that means x:99999 is it's limit.

I guess the choice is really to use higher fractions, or to ensure the aspect error is fudged when using anamorphic encoding to always display 0%, or to keep letting it be honest and admit the aspect ratio is sometimes off by 0.00007%, or just disable aspect error calculations for anamorphic encoding again.....

The first option would be my first choice, probably followed by the last one, but in reality the aspect error calculation for anamorphic encoding is a little redundant if it's never going to be out by any more than just a tiny fraction of a percent. I guess it always has been in the past, probably more so than now..... but ignorance was bliss. ;)

My physics teachers kept preaching: "Use a meaningful precision. If the first decimal doesn't mean a lot to you, there is no sense in displaying even the third."

Hey guys,
I noticed when you applied my patch for mp4, the commented-out else, which ensures that both the original ogg chapters and new xml chapters are added to the mp4 file in case the iPod or iPhone device profile was selected, was removed (the else is no longer commented-out). I put it back and recompiled it myself, but is there any reason it was removed?

[Zathor]

As written here and in the patch ticket on SF - I have not committed the chapter part because I do not know if this breaks compatibility. It is up to Kurtnoise to commit this part.

[hello_hello]

Well my previous resizing of a 4:3 DVD to 640x480 after cropping, now displays a zero aspect error as it should. And for a 4:3 DVD at least, MeGUI seems to agree with Yoda exactly as far as aspect ratios go when cropping. A square pixel source however....... (MeGUI 2260).

Resizing a 720p video (1280x544) to standard definition (square pixels).

(544/1280)*720=306. Zero aspect error. Yoda acquiesces. MeGUI displays a 0.0250% aspect error.

Switching to anamorphic encoding still reveals a slight aspect error in the display aspect ratio MeGUI adds to the script, although it now displays a zero aspect error.

AR(1280/544) = 2.3529411764705882352941176470588
Yoda (40:17) = 2.3529411764705882352941176470588
MeGUI (2353 : 1000) = 2.353

I know we're well into "what does it matter" territory there, but is it just that MeGUI rounds it's initial aspect ratio calculation too much before it calculates the rest?

The only other little quirk I noticed is when using anamorphic encoding with the acceptable aspect error set to 0%, even though MeGUI always displays a 0% aspect error now, the 0% it displays sometimes changes from black to red to black to red etc as you crop/resize. Well it didn't appear to do so when I opened a 4:3 DVD, but it definitely does when opening the 1280x544 video I referred to above.

Cheers.

[Zathor]

Just to be sure - you wanted to write 2268, correct? Or are you really using 2260?

For me using MeGUI 2268 it is also 0%. If you are also using 2268 please describe in detail how to reproduce this.
EDIT: It may be related to your input file. If MediaInfo does not report the correct input DAR the result of the calculations may be wrong. I tested with an AVS script where MediaInfo does not calculate the DAR.

MeGUI (2353 : 1000) = 2.353

For me using MeGUI 2268 it is also 40:17

The only other little quirk I noticed is when using anamorphic encoding with the acceptable aspect error set to 0%, even though MeGUI always displays a 0% aspect error now, the 0% it displays sometimes changes from black to red to black to red etc as you crop/resize. Well it didn't appear to do so when I opened a 4:3 DVD, but it definitely does when opening the 1280x544 video I referred to above.
Correct - that may happen if the value is not 0% but the all shown digits are 0. That is easy to fix but I will not release commit only this - I wait for other things to change.

Once again thank you very much for your feedback!

[hello_hello]

Just to be sure - you wanted to write 2268, correct? Or are you really using 2260?

Sorry, I'm a little dyslexic with numbers. 2268 is what I should have typed.

[hello_hello]

Well you got me wondering if I was having a stupid, so I double checked.

Okay..... I'm an idiot. Stupid poster of the day award for me. Well not completely..... I was only 50% wrong.
So after trying the same file on a second PC and getting different results the penny finally dropped and I realised MeGUI had the acceptable aspect error set to 1% on this PC and 0% on the other. Doh!

Now they're both behaving the same way it seems it's somehow tied to the acceptable aspect error setting. I just opened a few different 720p files via DirectShow (different heights) and....

My original 1280x544 file:
1% acceptable aspect error, small aspect error resizing to 1280x544, same anamorphic aspect error, script 40:17
0% acceptable aspect error, small aspect error resizing to 1280x544, zero anamorphic aspect error, script 2535:1000


1% acceptable aspect error, 1280x720 input file, small aspect error resizing to 1280x720, same small anamorphic aspect error, script 16:9
0% acceptable aspect error, 1280x720 input file, small aspect error resizing to 1280x720, zero anamorphic aspect error, script 889:500


1% acceptable aspect error, 1280x534 input file, zero aspect error resizing to 1280x534, small anamorphic aspect error, script 163:60
0% acceptable aspect error, 1280x534 input file, zero aspect error resizing to 1280x534, zero anamorphic aspect error, script 2397:1000


One more try:
1% acceptable aspect error, 1280x690 input file, small aspect error resizing to 1280x690, small anamorphic aspect error, script 128:69
0% acceptable aspect error, 1280x690 input file, small aspect error resizing to 1280x690, zero anamorphic aspect error, script 371:200


Am I going mad??

[Kurtnoise]

I noticed when you applied my patch for mp4, the commented-out else, which ensures that both the original ogg chapters and new xml chapters are added to the mp4 file in case the iPod or iPhone device profile was selected, was removed (the else is no longer commented-out). I put it back and recompiled it myself, but is there any reason it was removed?
Not tested yet on my part but did you try w/ iTunes or any apple Devices ? Does it work w/ any directshow players (like mpc-hc + LAV splitter) ?

I don't see any reason why that breaks compatibility but who knows...Only cons seems to be the reductant information.

@Zathor : care to update mp4box (http://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/) ? There is also qaac 2.10 (http://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/cabinet) available...:cool:

[Zathor]

Am I going mad??
No ;) It is because of:
2268 [AVS Script Creator] use very high accuracy for anamorphic encodings if acceptable aspect error is set to 0%

No problem for qaac - I am not sure about mp4box as we had some major problem with some older builds ~2 year ago. But hey, let's see :)
EDIT: done (including a few quick tests with the new mp4box)

[hello_hello]

No ;) It is because of:
2268 [AVS Script Creator] use very high accuracy for anamorphic encodings if acceptable aspect error is set to 0%

But if my results are anything to go by that's not what it's always doing. In fact setting it to zero seems to reduce the accuracy of anamorphic aspect ratios. Unless I am going mad, or missing something.....

The most obvious example is the 1280x720 video I tried. With the acceptable aspect error set to 1% it's more accurate than 0%.
Without cropping, the acceptable aspect error setting should have no effect on aspect ratio/error because there isn't one, yet at 1% MeGUI uses 16:9, at 0% it uses 899:500 for a 1280x720 video. That's the confusion I was having with the original 1280x544 video I tried. What I don't understand is why the aspect error being displayed doesn't always correspond, and if you look at my examples there's no resizing involved, it was just enabled, so once again there should never be an aspect error, anamorphic or not, regardless of the acceptable aspect error setting.
The only video I've opened so far where everything seems to work as expected is a 4:3 DVD. Anything with square pixels seems problematic, and I even tried some 516x570 4:3 files I have. Same problem there. Zero acceptable aspect error causes MeGUI to add 1333:1000 to the script. Using 1% it's 4:3.

On that subject.....
Should the acceptable aspect error setting still work as it always did? At the moment a zero setting gets MeGUI to more exactly calculate the anamorphic aspect ratio etc (at least in theory), but that kind of makes it more of a "how accurately should MeGUI do the math" setting rather than a "how much can MeGUI fudge the aspect ratio" setting. Maybe it's original purpose has gotten a bit lost during the changes?

For instance given the "acceptable aspect error" name, you'd assume you can open a 4:3 DVD with it set to 3%, and happily crop away while maintaining the original 4:3 anamorphic aspect ratio until the aspect error exceeds 3%. Logically, I guess MeGUI would only adjust the aspect ratio in increments of 3%. Same when resizing to square pixels with "suggest resolution" enabled too... I guess..... maybe. I didn't use it much that way but it's how it seemed to work previously when using anamorphic encoding. Now you can set it to 2 or 3% but it seems if you want 4:3 you've got to crop to 4:3. No more cranking it up a bit to crop a couple of pixels without changing the aspect ratio. In fact playing with the acceptable aspect error I'm not sure I can see the difference between setting it at 1% or setting it a 5% when cropping my 4:3 DVD. Either way, cropping 2 pixels from the height changes the aspect ratio by the same amount.

Just some more thoughts.....

[Zathor]

The most obvious example is the 1280x720 video I tried. With the acceptable aspect error set to 1% it's more accurate than 0%. I am sorry but I cannot reproduce it. I open a plain AVS script with 1280x720 and it doesn't matter if 1 or 0% accurarcy is enabled.

At the moment a zero setting gets MeGUI to more exactly calculate the anamorphic aspect ratio etc (at least in theory), but that kind of makes it more of a "how accurately should MeGUI do the math" setting rather than a "how much can MeGUI fudge the aspect ratio" setting. Maybe it's original purpose has gotten a bit lost during the changes?
Yes, that's correct. It will be reintroduced in the next build.
EDIT: Please try the build in my next post.

[Kurtnoise]

I am not sure about mp4box as we had some major problem with some older builds ~2 year ago.
which were ?

EDIT: done (including a few quick tests with the new mp4box)
Does it still have the -psp switch ? Forgot to check this...:o

[Zathor]

@hello_hello: Please try this build http://www.mediafire.com/?fpdvbtjbq44eh2m

which were?
I believe sync problems.

Does it still have the -psp switch ? Forgot to check this...:o
Me too :( It does not have the switch anymore... Is this switch still needed or should we remove it from MeGUI?

[Kurtnoise]

PSP is still there as device, though I'm not sure that it's still used...I'll put my own compile online then.

[hello_hello]

@hello_hello: Please try this build http://www.mediafire.com/?fpdvbtjbq44eh2m

Same deal. It's not an XP thing or a dot net crap thing is it? I think both PCs are running dot net version 4 but I'd have to check the other one.

Just so you know I'm not going nutty though, or maybe so you can point out why I am...... same file both times, same PC, only I'm pretty sure they're both wrong now. Shouldn't it be 40:17?

Acceptable aspect error set to 0%

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a142/dashpb1/0_zpsc3649fd3.gif

Acceptable aspect error set to 1%

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a142/dashpb1/1-2_zpsb25c2ce2.gif

PS Yes I just switched back to the previous 2268 build and for a 1% acceptable aspect error it does use 40:17 for the anamorphic aspect ratio.

Is it possible there's only a certain number of times a person's brain can deal with typing "acceptable aspect error" in forum posts? :)

[Zathor]

I will have a look at that tomorrow. At a quick glance I notice that the input DAR is detected by MediaInfo as 2.353 and therefore 2353:1000 is better than 47:20 (or 40:17).

[MOS-Marauder]

Hi Folks.

Well from Time to Time i got problems with MeGui encoding to XVID 2 Pass.

Its performing Pass1 perfectly with approx 450 FPS encode speed and then it crashes starting Pass2. (Log below)

That can this be ? Its most time only on Xvid with 640x272 Resolution.

Hi Zathor, to update eac3to, megui dont remove some .dll that wont already use.

avcodec.dll
avutil-50.dll

Maybe could create conflicts?

EDIT: Maybe would be useful add to megui application to enviroment variables


@echo off
set Path=%Path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI

rem echo %Path%

rem pause

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%Path%" /f

Maybe - but with the current implementation of the MeGUI updater it is not possible to remove files which are not used anymore. This is only possible when the backup behavior is changed so that the backup files are not created in the program folders anymore. Also there are some files like the license file of DGIndexNV which should never be removed.

Maybe would be useful add to megui application to environment variables
Why? And I fear for this action admin access is needed which MeGUI does not have.

Hi again, I got a error encoding audio files to flac. I think that megui not support oriental language, not?

Thanks

2268 cropping seems a bit off, MeGUI reported a error of -208%, the cropping value for the bottom bar was found 42, however it didn't do the top bar, so it was set to 0,

the output obviously had a black bar running along top... i put in manual 42 for the top bar crop, the error went to 0%... it happened on two out of 7 episodes of midsomer murders series (and it was reproducible)

[Zathor]

Can you please provide more details? E.g. can you upload a sample file?

[Zathor]

Is it possible there's only a certain number of times a person's brain can deal with typing "acceptable aspect error" in forum posts? :)
;)

Please try:

2272 [AVS Script Creator] moved "acceptable aspect error" setting into the AviSynth profile (1% by default)
[AVS Script Creator] improved AR chooser
[MediaInfo] improved aspect ratio detection
2269 [MP4 Muxer] restrict "group=1" to the Apple Devices regarding Audio streams

It should be better now as the MediaInfo result will be used to find the correct DAR - but it is not the only source anymore.

[stax76]

My calculations were similar to GordianKnot in the beginning but were improved constantly for about 8 years,
after a quick research I agree with rel. error = abs. error / real value and changed the code accordingly.

[tebasuna51]

after a quick research I agree with rel. error = abs. error / real value and changed the code accordingly.

You don't need use absolute_error, with signed_error you preserve the sign in the relative_error:

relative_error_signed = signed_error / real_value
relative_error_signed = (approximated_value - real_value) / real_value
relative_error_signed = (approximated_value / real_value) - 1

[stax76]

I've meant approximated_value, it was just called abs. error on a german page:

http://www.frustfrei-lernen.de/mathematik/relativer-fehler.html

The code should be fine now however, it returns the same value as discussed before:

((p.TargetWidth / p.TargetHeight) / Calc.GetTargetDAR) * 100 - 100

[hello_hello]

Well guys, I've given version 2272 a bit of a spin and it looks like my days of typing "acceptable aspect error" in forum posts might finally be over.And just as I'd thought to add a keyboard shortcut to my macro program so to save me the trouble of typing it. ;)
Thanks for the hard work again!

The only thoughts I have on the resizing topic at the moment (aside from the resizing up when cropping) is when opening a video it'd be nice to have the output aspect ratio displayer under the resize area. So with anamorphic encoding there's no need to keep bouncing back and forth between the I/O and script tabs if you're wanting a nice 16:9 output aspect ratio etc, although it'd probably be better if it wasn't displayed as a fraction (unless both would be easy) because then as you crop it's simple to tell if you're cropping in the right direction.
And if you wanted to be really fancy the original input dimensions could be displayed above the cropping area with the input dimensions after cropping displayed below.

Thanks!

[hello_hello]

On a topic unrelated to aspect ratios for a change....

I was thinking how nice it'd be if MeGUI could become the first encoder GUI on the planet (as far as I know) to correctly convert the colors when converting from HD to SD as very few people seem to know they should do it and it's one of my pet peeves. Maybe implementing automatic conversion according to resolution might be a bit tricky, but having a check box in the script creator might get people using it. Just a method to tell MeGUI you're converting from HD to SD would do. If the box is checked MeGUI could automatically add the appropriate color conversion to the script. ie ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601", clamp=0). Doing it that way it'd be independent of the method used to open the video.
Given upscaling is far less common than downscaling it'd probably not be necessary for MeGUI to be able to convert the colors in the opposite direction, although I guess a checkbox to tell MeGUI you need to convert the colors and a dropdown box next to it to specify the direction you're going might be a nice touch.

If MeGUI's current Color Correction option is checked it'd probably be nice to tweak that too. Based on my understanding of the way the colormatrix thingy gets it's info from dgdecode and the colorimetry dgdecode reports if the stream doesn't contain colorimetry info, it'd probably convert the colors correctly when converting HD mpeg2 to SD as it is, but I assume it'd still convert the colors when converting HD mpeg2 to HD if MeGUI's color correction option is checked, which would be incorrect.
So maybe if there was a method implemented whereby you could tell MeGUI you're converting from HD to SD, with that option checked the Color Correction currently being added to the script for mpeg2 video could be left as it is, but with it unchecked it could be omitted from the script so no HD to HD color conversion takes place. I can't imagine it'd matter in the slightest if it's not added to the script when converting DVDs as it's pretty much redundant anyway.

Just some thoughts.....

[Zathor]

Thanks for the hard work again!

Yes, will be added - but it may take a while. I need to find a place to show those values.

Just a method to tell MeGUI you're converting from HD to SD would do. If the box is checked MeGUI could automatically add the appropriate color conversion to the script. ie ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601", clamp=0)
Also a good idea. Maybe in the first place I will only add a option to convert between those values.

Sorry, I missed it. AviSynth does not support unicode - or at least some/most plugins do not support it.

Sorry, I missed it. AviSynth does not support unicode - or at least some/most plugins do not support it.

Not only it, its for buttons overlaps. And support for decoding to wav format.

Hi,

I remember this is not the first time I got this shop-stopping error, it happens every time after the audio per-processing, when the actual audio-encoding starts. This time it happened with QAAC, but I remember it happening when encoding a 6-channel audio file with NeroEncoder also.

Exception message: Abnormal encoder termination 2
Inner exception: null

Logfile : https://dl.dropbox.com/s/z67vkhqc6kpwe3f/Megui-error.log

[Kurtnoise]

It's pretty clear to me...:rolleyes:

CoreAudioToolbox.dll: The specified module could not be found.

Since 1.00, qaac directly uses CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Therefore, QuickTime installation is no more required. However, Apple Application Support is required.

Apple Application Support is included in recent Apple products such as iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari. Therefore, you can install it via installation of one of these products. However, Apple Application Support itself is actually independently packaged as AppleApplicationSupport.msi. If you want, you can extract it from installer exe file using 7-zip archiver, and directly run AppleApplicationSupport.msi. This way, you can install only necessary modules to run qaac. No iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari needed.

You need recent Apple Application Support package (QuickTime >= 7.7.1, or iTunes >= 10.5). With older version, at least AAC-HE encoder is not usable, and there might be some other problems. Of course, the latest version is desirable.

I had a dream......

In my dream the AVS cutter was integrated into the AVS Script Creator. It had been added to the script creator as an additional tab.
And in my dream (probably because I've been doing this myself when encoding some old video recently) the interaction between the cutter and the script creator was quite clever. If I used the AVS cutter to encode three sections of video, then not only was I editing while encoding, but by selecting one of the cuts under the AVS Cutter tab, the Script Creator would apply any subsequent changes to just that particular section of video. Of course MeGUI automatically applied the same global resizing to each section and the anamorphic aspect ratio was set according to the first section of video, but I could apply different types of noise filtering, crop each differently (and the I/O tab would calculate the aspect error for the selected section individually :)) and I could easily add additional filters to each section by manually adding them to the script.

Just before I awoke, I recall saving the script and going back to MeGUI's main window. I noticed there was now an encoder option to simply copy the audio. I wondered why it was there at first, but then I realised with the Cuts file loaded in the audio section, and when selecting "copy" as the audio encoding method, MeGUI was automatically using the Audio Cutter to split the audio according to my cuts, rejoin each section as a single file, then mux it and the encoded video together when it'd finished.
I recall opening the script MeGUI created for me, but as I opened it my dream ended so I only caught a blurred glimpse, however I'm pretty sure it looked like this:

# 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\MeGUI\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("E:\video.d2v")
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\yadif\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=1)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")

__film = last
__t0 = __film.trim(0, 13912).FluxSmoothST(7,7).crop(10, 8, -10, -8).Spline36Resize(704,560)
__t1 = __film.trim(24768, 45004).crop(2, 8, -8, -0).Spline36Resize(704,560)
__t2 = __film.trim(59443, 72618).crop(26, 20, -4, -4).Spline36Resize(704,560)
__t0 ++ __t1 ++ __t2

No need to tell me I'm dreaming..... but I still think adding the AVS Cutter as a fourth tab in the Script Creator would be a good idea, along with MeGUI being able to automatically split the original audio rather than re-encode it.

[Betsy25]

It's pretty clear to me...:rolleyes:

CoreAudioToolbox.dll: The specified module could not be found.

Thanks for the explanation. I have another same inner-exception: null happening with NeroEncoder also, especially with a 6 channel audio & choosing "Keep original channels". I'll reproduce it & post the errorlog for that.

P.S. NeroEncoder does work correctly when choosing "Downsample to 2 channel"

I am not sure if do anything incorrectly ( using last stable MeGUI )..

I have 2 OneClick jobs in queue ( M2Vindexing1 + OneClick1 + M2Vindexing2 + OneClick2 )

It frequently ( always? ) happens they are processed simultaneously, what I do not want.
I did not play with different workers at all.

I have to confirm yet, if it happens when all jobs are already in queue when started,
of if it happens when additional job are added while queue is being processed,
or at both cases...

Edit: It could possibly to be related, if queued independently, or by consequent OneClick "Queue and next",
and also if indexing was already done in advance or not.

This may be related... #447 AVS creator Interlace analysis after AVS cutting (https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/feature-requests/447/)
But I was told by Zathor he is very probably not going to implement it.

Currently I launch AVS creator once to save just dummy AVS to provide raw source.
Than I run AVS cutter.
Than I run AVS creator again over cut Video as if it was original one.

Are you sure you are not using several workers? Please check the workers summary. Also you can try the recent development build.

I have just made trial reencode of 2 already finished mp4 projects..
I used oneclick with checked And open next.

After queue start both projects started.
I have not set any explicit workers, and owner column in job overview was empty.

BUT - workers summary has shown both W1 and W2 are working.
Strange, from my point of view...

I will try latest development 2272.... It does the same.

When I have explicitly set for all 4 jobs Worker 1,
it started sequentially as expected.
But after indexing of the first project
it started Worker 2 as before...

[Hotpocketdeath]

Ouch, something got broken in the latest builds (2272).

I've lost all ability to mux my encodes into MP4's. Tried 2 movies so far, one of them muxes, no errors, but the video is size is way off. Video starts as 3.5GB and audio is 400MB, but result is only 2.4GB and won't play.

The second video won't even mux at all. I get this error.

I'm using the same settings I've always used. Switched over to YAMB and was able to mux them fine.


Also, has the bug with the temporary workers been fixed? I haven't seen a changelog that addressed the issue I've been having with them.

I have a hefty computer that I can't fully get to 100% cpu useage for certain jobs, so I tend to send a lot of jobs to temporary workers. Lately, if I send a group of jobs to a temporary worker, it was running the first job and then just stopping. Refused to continue to any more jobs until I deleted the worker. Before, I would usually have 2 or 3 seperate complete encodes going at once (audi,video,mux) So without the workers working right, it really cripples my productivity.

[Zathor]

When I have explicitly set for all 4 jobs Worker 1,

But after indexing of the first project

Idle workers will always be used - in my opinion this is the correct behaviour and it is has been corrected some weeks ago. If you do not want a worker to process jobs you have to delete it or set it to stopped.

Thx for the report - that problem is new for me. I will try to reproduce and fix it. It may be related to some of the other worker changes.

[Poutnik]

Hm, this is strange.

At least it would be good if one could set default behavior, like disabling Worker 2, or disabling trigerring it implicitly....

It would make sense for 1 core audio encoding, but MeGUI seems refusing in my case more audio encoding jobs, at least with NeroAACenc.(possibly related to used audio AVS plugins )

If there are IO intensive jobs, like indexing,de/muxing or wav encoding, simultaneous jobs are rather obstacle each other. ( Analogically to 2 independent file copying tasks, what is bad idea as well, especially if file fragmentation is considered )

If there are CPU intensive jobs, like MT AVS together with MT X264 encoding, the resulting performance will be probably lower.

It is like if you would use for e.g. dual core 4-6 threads instead of 2-3 in AVS a/o X264, what is not recommended. It would make more sense in this case if single threaded AVS/X264 would be used, but it would loose sense if only one encoding left.

Combination of IO and CPU intesive tasks makes sense,
as well as the user wish to avoid parallel video encodings.
I may do not want to have 2 movies in 6 hours, but in 3 + 3 hours.

There could be also sideeffects, like FFT3DGPU encodings, I do not use it now, having failed G card now, but I remember I had such issues. Possibly other plugins not allowing/working properly in multitasking can have issues as well.

AFAIK If I use the "smaller automation" ( I forgot name, not having MeGUI handy), I thing there was not such workers issue. But as you say , you have changed it recently ( or just for OneClick ) ?

Use revision 4275 or higher from here (http://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/#Windows%2032%20bits)...That should be fixed your issue.

I'll upload a new build on megui server tonight...

What is recommended procedure to add jobs to already running queue, without having them launched immediately ?

Not having MeGUI handy, but I think there is settings if to run queue immediately, but not if jobs can be added in stopped state.
And if there is, do they run when it is their turn ?

after the crop, 720x572 must be resized to 720x392.133 (AR 1.8361)

The AR error is (1.7727/1.8361) - 1 = -0,03452 = -3,452%

Even if I do not like it, I understand it is your intended default behavior. But why MeGUI ignores explicit setting ? It is the only chance for user to tell MeGUI he wants it by other way.

Edit: could it be that partial Oneclick jobs do not inherit worker ( they should ) settings from mother Oneclick Job ? ( cannot check now )

Sorry, you have written a little too much so I will describe how the workers should work from my point of view (simplified):
- An idle worker will process any waiting tasks which are not assigned to other workers. This will be triggered when a job is completed (also from other workers!) or new jobs are assigned but not when a worker is shut down or sent to stop after the current jobs.
- A temporary worker will process only the assigned jobs and will be deleted afterwards
- Stopped workers will not process any jobs until started again
- You can at any time disable / delete a worker (immediately or after the assigned jobs are finished)

Why do you need idle workers which are not processing any jobs? Why are you not deleting/disabling them? Why are you not using temporary workers?
EDIT: I am not asking why you need more than one worker - the reasons are clear.

[hello_hello]

Currently I launch AVS creator once to save just dummy AVS to provide raw source.
Than I run AVS cutter.
Than I run AVS creator again over cut Video as if it was original one.

I hadn't really considered de-interlacing issues as the video I was working with was purely interlaced, but as I was wanting to apply different filtering and cropping to each section of the video I tried quite a few different methods to get there. So far the easiest seems to be to tell MeGUI not to close the Script Creator window when I save the script, preview the first section of video and apply the relevant filtering/cropping etc, manually add Trim(), save the script as "part 1", delete Trim(), move onto the next section, adjust the filtering/cropping as necessary, add the second Trim(), save the script as "part 2", delete Trim(), move onto the next section..... finally I'd create a new script from scratch to import the individual scripts and encode them as a whole. I also tried adding multiple trims to the same script then applying different copping/filter to each and appending them together, but either way if the video is split into more than a few sections it's a slow process. I tried using AvsPmod instead but it didn't seem to make it any less painful. If there's an easier way to do it I'm definitely open to suggestions.

[Poutnik]

Hm, I stand corrected, I have not seen anywhere settings of worker numbers, and I forgot / never knew I can even disable/delete one... :)
I probably created 2nd one in past and forgot it.

So, nothing to solve, thanks for a hint, sorry for wasting your time ....

Actually any filename with a '.' in it will cause the MKV muxer to crash. Tools -> Muxer -> MKV muxer.

Enter an Mp4 video input with a '.' in the name into the video and audio fields and choose queue when it runs it will produce the xmlserialize error.

Again my old issue :(
With OneClick trying to encode an avi to mp4 (the audio have the audio track with a delay of 3600ms):

[LigH]

And again, no MediaInfo analysis of the AVI file telling us which format the audio stream has.

[TSoft]

Audio is AC3 format.

[Kurtnoise]

Upload a sample of your AVI please...

[TSoft]

Upload a sample of your AVI please...

I removed the avi file. To work around the error i adjust the delay from the AC3 track with BeHappy, then remux in avi and then encode again with MeGui - OneClick to mp4
Sorry :(
The next avi that have the some problem I will upload a sample.

Thanks for now.

[hello_hello]

Here's a sample where indexing fails when the audio is included in the indexing. (7MB (https://www.yousendit.com/download/UW16S3dpTk1iR0lsYzlVag))

It seems like an ffms problem to me. When I opened the AVI from which that sample came with MPC-HC via a script like this:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFAudioSource("E:\video.avi")
The index file was created and MPC-HC displayed a "no audio found" message.

If I delete the index file and use this script, I get audio and video after it's indexed:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFIndex("E:\video.avi")
AudioDub(FFVideoSource("E:\video.avi"), FFAudioSource("E:\video.avi"))

Without deleting the index file ffms created the second time, if I open the first script again using MPC-HC I get audio.

[docholliday]

I have a problem with MeGUI. when it finished Encoded Audio it dosent Encode Video suddenly error and stop. Does anybody knows?

Remux your avi into mkv and retry indexing...some informations in the mp3 header are missing for ffms.

[tebasuna51]

The problem is the same with TSoft and hello-hello samples:
The audio stream don't begin with a valid audio header.

But seems have different origen:
- The hello-hello sample occurs always than cut a avi, the cut is at video frame boundary but at the middle of a audio frame.
A decoder must search, at least, along a frame size to found a valid header.

- The TSoft sample seems have a fake avi audio delay, along the first 3600 ms there are garbage in audio stream.
Here there are a question, how many bytes must a decoder search for a valid audio header?
With NicAc3Source I put a limit of 1 MB than allow 13 seconds delay for a 640 Kb/s AC3 or 21 seconds for 192 Kb/s AC3.

When the avi is muxed to mkv, MkvMerge detect and delete the initial garbage (I don't know if there are a limit) and put the equivalent delay in the mkv header info. Problem solved.

Another workaround is use AVIMux_GUI (supplied with MeGUI) to extract the avi audio and add the delay (detected by AVIMux_GUI) to the end mix.

[hello_hello]

Remux your avi into mkv and retry indexing...some informations in the mp3 header are missing for ffms.

Yeah, I've got into the habit of doing that. What about the AVI containing AC3 someone mentioned earlier. Same reason?

Given ffms and AVIs haven't played together nicely for as long as I can remember, could MeGUI get around it by using VirtualDubMod for demuxing AVI audio? StaxRip does it that way and I guess it's nice to have the audio stream demuxed anyway.

I forgot about AVIMux_GUI. I opened the AVI with it, it showed me the same 320 bytes of junk data MKVMergeGUI did, and after AVIMux_GUI resave the AVI as a new file ffmsindex was quite happy to play.

Can AVIMux_GUI demux audio streams from AVIs via a script as VirtualDubMod does?

[tebasuna51]

Can AVIMux_GUI demux audio streams from AVIs via a script as VirtualDubMod does?

AVIMux_GUI can do some jobs with .amg scripts (was used by MeGUI to mux avi) but I don't know how can demux audio (and inform about delay) with a .amg script.

Maybe someone than know better the .amg script languaje.

Ok now it works without error, but on mux in to mp4 container the delay is forgotten.

I have just now encoded an avi with an audio track ac3 2 channels 192 kbps witch has a delay of 500ms, to mp4 with audio aac 48 kbps.

OneClick now works without error, but, at the end, the encoded mp4 was out of syncro exact 500ms.

Sorry for my english.

MEGui doesn't detect Haali Media Splitter (installed thru CCCP) and doesn't allow the use of the DSS2 AVS plugin. Even if the box is checked in the AVS creation window, it's not used in the final AVS file

[hello_hello]

OneClick now works without error, but, at the end, the encoded mp4 was out of syncro exact 500ms.

Are you using MPC-HC?? If it's a MPC-HC bug it's been there for years and I guess nobody else has noticed (except one other poster over at videohelp) but I can't get MPC-HC to obey the audio delay in MP4 files no matter what I do and I've tried just about everything. I even dragged out the earliest version of MPC-HC I have (2008) and it's the same.

If you're using MPC-HC check the MP4 with MediaInfo to see if there's an audio delay specified in the file as there should be. If there is, try another player. VLC should play it correctly.

Thx for your sample. Please post your full log file so that I can compare it with my own tests.

I did several test encodes (also with own files with 5s delay) and I have the same problem as hello_hello. When encoding the audio file everything is fine as the delay is removed in the encoding step and the resulting delay in the mp4 is 0ms - but when muxing the audio the delay is applied to the MP4 (correctly regarding mediainfo) but MPC does not use the delay value.

Something has gone wrong for me with 2277/78.

Files that transcoded perfectly fine before now fail with errors. Even files that were created with MeGUI. These are .mp4 files.

The error log strangely refers to the file as 'Test.mkv' when in fact the name is 'Test.mp4'

I found another Bug in Megui...

When i use that DGI below (log from DGIndexNV) as input, the AVS Script Generator always shows wrong Width. (1904) Even if i dont choose resizing.

This and the error not passing the Deinterlace Settings to the AVS is since 2 or 3 Core Updates (Developer)

will MeGUI come with some basic sharpeners already ready to apply, a bit like the included "Noise" filter, could a sharpener filter working similar be included for the future?

megui does in Tools -> AVS script creator but not in the oneclick

[Pulp Catalyst]

where?

[flebber]

where?

http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af10/Sayth_Renshaw/scriptcreator_zpsee9b9dc7.png

Which would produce something like.

#resize
LoadPlugin("C:\Rip\Megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium Noise
LSFmod()

[Pulp Catalyst]

i see, so turning on resize doesn't necessarily mean a resize is actually done..... didn't know that.

although usually i would just prefer an option that had sharpening (without the need for turning on the resizing option)

as it is, to sharpen an image you need to resize???

anyway, thanks.

my idea was to put an option in to activate a sharpener in all scenarios, even when not resizing!

Well you could, I would just use LSFmod() for sharpening without resizing.

Not sure if MeGUI can benefit from this, but AnandTech is saying Intel has finally open sourced its dispatcher code for Quick Sync support.

Intel's Quick Sync: Coming Soon to Your Favorite Open Source Transcoding Applications (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6665/intels-quick-sync-coming-soon-to-your-favorite-open-source-transcoding-applications-)

[Kurtnoise]

Don't trust AnandTech and other websites like this...

If you use LAVFilters in your toolchain and if you have an Intel GPU, I'm pretty sure that QuickSync is already used within MeGUI.

Can't test myself coz I don't have an Intel GPU...

I cannot reproduce a problem with your file. Also you log file seems to be fine. input has a delay of 500ms, removed during audio step and the resulting file has 0ms delay. If you have a delay please encode your sample (which seems to have only a small delay and not 500ms) and upload the resulting file together with the log.

Even if i enable resize and switch to Mod8 or mod whatever im not able to use the 1920by1072.

Another problem: After File Indexer does its job and passes over to AVS script creator, I get an error saying "Avisynth script creator: FFVideoSource:Insanity detected:decoder returned an empty frame". I believe it might be size problem, because the file is 74GB big. But I can't tell for sure.
The log doesn't say much.

"Insanity detected" used to be pretty common for FFVideoSource working in multi-threaded mode. Adding the parameter 'threads=1' to this call often fixed this issue, at the cost of some decoding speed.

If you have uncompressed AVI, you can also try using AviSource instead of FFMS2. The button in the script creator may still be titled "DirectShowSource", though...

[Kurtnoise]

Hold on, I just checked the log and it says Haali is not installed. Is this absolutely needed? I am using LAV splitter instead.
From the log :
--[Warning] [22.1.2013 8:42:20] Haali Matroska Splitter not installed properly.
--[Warning] [22.1.2013 8:42:20] Therefore DSS2() and certain functions of FFVideoSource() and the HD Streams Extractor may also not work.
So, it depends on what you use...

[Octo-puss]

I tested a bit further and it seems to only be doing with uncompressed video, no matter the size. Just tried with just 10GB and same error. When I feed it with for example MJPG compressed video, it gets processed without a problem.

How do I do this?

From the log :

Oh. That's not cheerful news. I don't feel like installing Haali again, but guess I have no choice...

[LigH]

If you convert to MKV first (especially TS), FFMS2 doesn't need Haali. It doesn't need Haali for indexing and decoding AVIs either. The Haali Media Splitter is mainly required for MPEG containers (Program Stream, Transport Stream) which FFMS2 really can't handle reliably; even with Haali's help it is not very reliable.
__

If you open an AVI in the AVS Script Creator, MeGUI offers you to use either the One Click Encoder, the File Indexer, or AviSource (in earlier MeGUI versions, this button still used to be titled "DirectShowSource", even though AviSource was used for AVI sources). So if you have installed a matching VfW codec to open an AVI, it may be suitable to use AviSource instead of the File Indexer. There are reports that FFMS2 may not be the optimum for uncompressed (RGB), losslessly compressed (Huffyuv), or keyframe-only compressed (MJPG, DV) AVIs; and furthermore, there are VfW codecs not supported by FFMS2 (Ut) which require the use of AviSource.

[Octo-puss]

Ah that sounds like a solution. I still don't quite understand most of what you guys speak about, but I am just a stupid basic user who is happy to get the job done :P
Now I just need to do something about the PCM audio extracting...

[LigH]

Raw PCM audio streams in AVIs – codec 2cc = 0x0001 (Integer PCM) or 0x0003 (IEEE Float PCM) – should not be demultiplexed to raw PCM, because they would not contain any information about their channel count, bit depth, sampling frequency ... instead, they will require a WAV container (or W64 if the data chunk may exceed 4 GB).

That's contrary to e.g. AC3 or MP3 audio streams which are preferably demultiplexed without additional container.

[Octo-puss]

Well, whatever, I just need to extract the audio (I guess I was using bad wording and caused confusion) so I can mux it into the final file :) And thus far it's not working.

[LigH]

You want to copy it as uncompressed PCM? Wouldn't you prefer encoding it to a more efficient format? MeGUI is able to feed it into different audio encoders, most of them providing excellent quality with well chosen parameters.

What format shall the final file be (container, video, audio)?

Indeed, MeGUI does not support AVI as input of its HD Stream Extractor; but AVI is no common container for HD media, it is too outdated, does not support modern video streams correctly. VirtualDubMod may be able to extract a WAV from its Stream list, but I wouldn't recommend it, it may not support >4 GB. Avidemux may be able. Anyway, I see no sense in extracting raw PCM as file for later multiplexing. If we knew more about your intentions, we may be able to find a workflow which is able to avoid unnecessary huge files.

[Octo-puss]

Of course I would compress it (again, writing fail), most probably into mp3 format like I always did. But I need to extract the audio first. At least I think so.

I've always used x264 for video, mp3 for audio, all in mkv container.

[LigH]

Now you will use MeGUI for both. It will feed the video from the AviSynth script into x264, the audio from the AviSynth script into LAME, and multiplex everything.

Ah, by the way: MPEG4-AVC as target video ... could be combined with MPEG4-AAC as target audio, using the Nero or QAAC encoder (the latter if you provide the Apple QuickTime CoreAudioToolbox DLLs), multiplexed into the MP4 container. Tight specifications, high compatibility. But MKV will take it all, of course.

[Octo-puss]

Are you talking about the one click encoder here?

[LigH]

No. I never used that one so far.

You can open the same AviSynth script (which the AVS Script Creator wrote) as source for the video and the audio part in the MeGUI main window.

If you used AviSource as source filter, and it loads the audio stream from the AVI (parameter 'audio=true' is the default), then you will have an audio stream in the AviSynth output of your script, this can be used as input of many audio encoders.

Add an audio conversion job.
Add a video conversion job.
Run the jobs.
Add a multiplex job from the Tools menu.
Run the job.

[Octo-puss]

Audio=false is what the script says for some reason. Is there any setting anywhere I can change except for obvious manual editing (which is simple and quick enough though), just out of curiosity?
It works though :)

Considering how it's simplier than using File Indexer, would you say this is the preferred universal method for creating encodes?

[Kurtnoise]

Load your AVI directly in the Audio Panel and select an mp3 preset...that should work to encode your audio stream.

[Zathor]

Even if i enable resize and switch to Mod8 or mod whatever im not able to use the 1920by1072 I cannot test it currently with DGI, but with DGA it is possible when upsizing is enabled (for MOD16). With MOD8 no upsizing is needed.

[TSoft]

@Zathor

Last two encode (from DVD to avi) there is always this error:

It is working as well with DGI.

I cannot help with xvid as I am not using this encoder. Maybe someone else can. Does that happen also when you use x264 as encoder?

[TSoft]

It is working as well with DGI.

I don't know. Till now only with xvid. :thanks:

EDIT:
I fixed the mistake was my fault. I accidentally set 8 threads instead of 0 in the config xvid

got errors converting a HD DVB Capture to mkv h264 and mp3:

---[Error] [24.01.2013 06:43:01] Source detection failed: Error opening analysis script:

and an error for a SD DVB capture conversion to avi (xvid, mp3):

--[Error] [24.01.2013 07:25:30] Process exits with error: 0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (-1073741819)
What can I do?

[LigH]

You are possibly using the outdated DGAVCDec to decode AVC material it doesn't support well; try instead:

a) FFmpegSource2 – after multiplexing the (M2)TS to MKV with mkvmerge (FFMS2 doesn't read Transport Streams reliably, not even when the Haali media Splitter is installed)
or
b) DGDecNV – if you have a CUDA generation Nvidia card and want to buy a license

Or you may have a corrupt video stream. It may help to clean and pre-cut it; or not.

Furthermore, it may be that your DVB recording software creates non-standard transport streams. Unfortunately, you don't provide useful details.
