MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Kurtnoise]

where is located your avisynth.dll ?

Did you update your avisynth bundle ?

[Sharktooth]

do not use avisynth 2.6. it's unstable!
revert to 2.5.8.5.

[Zathor]

Here are the files you requested Zathor.

Meguifiles.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?a498j9k4q2u2j5g).

Here is the log file from 0.3.5.22

[Information] Log
-[Information] Versions
--[Information] MeGUI Version : 0.3.5.22
--[Information] OS : Windows Seven Ultimate Edition x64 (6.1.0.7600)
--[Information] Latest .Net Framework installed : 4.0 (4.0.30319)


My version of avisynth.dll is SEt's Avisynth 2.6. You can get it here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1312666#post1312666)

Thanks. The problem is that these AviSynth builds do not provide a build number (and the real problem is that I have changed the detection logic in 0.3.5.23 because I assumed that every avisynth.dll has a build number - memo to myself: do not make assumptions).

0.3.5.24
- (zathor) removed "AviSynth is not installed" message if the avisynth.dll does not have a version number

[mastrboy]

anyone else that can adjust "Deadzones (Inter / Intra)" in MeGUI (0.3.5.24) under x264 configuration dialog? (Find it under Rate-control) It is greyed out/control disabled...

You probably have trellis enabled. Disable trellis and try again

[mastrboy]

:scared: ... should not mess with x264 when tired.. I knew that deadzone was incompatible with trellis, it just didn't occurre to me that MeGUI also was aware of this, bedtime i guess..

[lych_necross]

@Kurtnoise
Its located in C:\windows\syswow64
I installed the official avisynth installer then replaced the avisynth.dll as instructed by SEt.

@Sharktooth
I've never really had any problems with it, but I am considering rolling back to the official version after this.

@Zathor
I was taught in college that assume means ass/u/me :p

So I was trying to re-encode this youtube video with a resolution of 470 x 360.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJq4jWSQNd8

When "Suggest Resolution(mod16)" is checked, only the height is a mod16 resolution, the width isn't
When "Clever (TM) anamorphic encoding:" is checked and "Resize to mod16" is selected, it's the same thing, the width isn't a mod16 resolution.

Is it meant this way for the user to input their own mod16 width or is this something that was accidentally left out?

[Rat Killer]

Need a bit of help. I have run MeGUI for a long time but just installed a new file server and am installing on it. WindowsXP SP3. I followed the simple installation instructions in the first post of this thread. Launching MeGUI gives a windows error box that reads "The applicaton failed to initialize properly" a memory address and a ok box to terminate.

Tried several things but nothing seems to work. What have I missed in setting this up?

i think only the height is checked.

Okay. Thanks for the confirmation.

I made a feature request at sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3098351&group_id=156112&atid=798479

[guista]

I recently fixed an audio/video sync issue thanks to MKVMerge GUI which allowed me to stretch the audio track.

1/ the "MKV merge" MeGUI feature invokes MKVMerge but the stretch feature is not available in MeGUI interface so why not adding it ?

2/ why not also adding an "auto-stretch" feature (as discussed with yetanotherid on another thread) so MeGUI auto-calculates the stretch ratio so the audio track length matches the video track length (and solves some potential audio sync issue) ?

My vote for not include such features in MeGUI.
The use of mkv audio stretch can be a source of problems.
You can always use MkvMergeGUI at your risk.

[Rat Killer]

Thanks! that was it. Knew I was missing something obvious.

[pokazene_maslo]

Hello. I have one feature request. What about adding QTGMC deinterlacer into standard package?

[Sharktooth]

feature requests should be posted in the megui project feature request tracker on sourceforge

[sinz718]

Try using a different indexer. To index it with FFMS you have to mux your 264 file in a mkv container.

If ffms does not solve the problem rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe" to another name and "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264_64.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe".

Fixed my issue.
The solution is here in case anyone runs into it:
Virtualdub + Megui error problems fix (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1454415&postcount=6)

:thanks: for the help!
To note I am also not using the development version, as I say in the thread post linked above It was a bad or corrupted avisynth filter, which is my best guess as nothing else worked until I removed them from the plugins folder.

[guista]

I recently decided to run the analysis before reencoding my big MKV files (the idea was to decrease the size of my MKVs by reencoding them).
I did the analysis on 3 files and each time the 'M-in-5 tri-decimate' requirement was detected by the analysis.
After hours of encoding, I got the all my MKV frame rate changed from 23.976 FPS to 19.181 FPS.
MeGUI HD stream extractor stopped and complained about the non-standard 19.181 FPS frame rate but MKVMerge GUI worked for muxing AC3 with x264.
The resulting video was so choppy that it was unwatchable.

I do not know if it can corrected but my advice would be to use the analysis with care if you do not want to lose hours of encoding.
As far as I am concerned, the best thing to do is watching the video myself (frame by frame) then manually deduce which filter is needed.

[guista]

If you forget changing the ouput video file name when performing some MKV to MKV reencoding : when the encoding will start (pass 2), the input source file will be overwritten by a zero length file.
You lose your original file (if unsaved) and this is unrecoverable because the data is overwritten.

This is due the fact MeGUI defaultly set an output file name identical to the input source file name.

My suggestion would be to auto-generate the output file name by concatenating the input file name to a prefix.

[guista]

Actually, when the main encoding task is started, you have to wait until it is finished before shutting down your computer (it can last hours : 3 to 20 hours for me).

I tried to enter hibernation but Windows complained telling there was not enough resources to perform the operation even when the encoding process was paused (this is very true for x264.exe which eat a lot of OS resources even when paused).

My idea is to use the Windows DbgHelp API and override a SEH (Structure Exception Handler) from which a full memory dump of the encoding process can be performed upon reception of a control-break signal sent by MeGUI.
The process can then be restarted from the saved memory dump at the next MeGUI start.

[Sharktooth]

all bug reports must be posted in the megui project bug tracker on sourceforge.

When attempting to enque the audio encode portion of a job, dts to ac3 using either ffmpeg or aften, click enque MeGUI errors with the message: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' Tried several different files and they all do this when trying to enque the audio job. Used to work fine so no sure what changed.

I can still convert the audio using eac3to via the stream extract tool but not from the input tab. Any ideas what's going on?

[saint-francis]

did you run megui with administrative privileges?

No, but it looks like it doesn't matter since eac3to won't work over a network either. I posted about this in the eac3to thread. I'm surprised that this hasn't come up before. I just mapped the drive I'm working with.

I am running the latest everything from the dev server update.

I've hit the same error, same environment.

I've had several movies hit this error and I noticed the pattern.

Any time the video exceeds 2GB, the error occurs. All the isotmp files reach either a size of 2,097,128 KB or 2,097,109 KB and then crash MP4box like clockwork.

There is nothing wrong with the streams. Using a separate mp4box install, I was able to mux the streams and the result plays fine on my PS3.

...Using a separate mp4box install... Which one?

I believe you need the whole mp4box folder.
I tried replacing the mp4box in MeGUI with RipBot264's by replacing the whole mp4box folder without getting an immediate error.
I didn't tried muxing file of size bigger than 2GB though.

[Zathor]

MP4Box build has been changed today. with this build I cannot reproduce anymore the problems mentioned above. But with all the GPAC problems in the last weeks I assume we will find new (or old) problems soon.

0.3.5.26
- [Audio Downmix] enhanced avisynth script in order to cover more input channel configurations. Patch by tebasuna51
0.3.5.25
- [MKVMuxer] changed log output language to English
- [x264] added option to disable the 64 bit mode of x264
- [x264] in case of a problem with the 64 bit mode of x264 it will be disabled (and not automatically enabled again)

@Zathor
Thanks for the updates!:D

Anyone have an idea on what is going on with the audio encode input tab? I posted this question a few days ago with no response so I assume its just me but could use some ideas. Now using MeGui 0.3.5.26 and still same problem.

When attempting to enque the audio encode portion of a job, dts or ac6 to ac3, 5.1, 448kbps using either ffmpeg or aften, when I click enque, MeGUI errors with the message: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' Tried several different files and they all do this when trying to enque the audio job. Used to work fine prior to 0.3.5.24 so not sure what changed.

I can still convert the audio using eac3to via the stream extract tool but not from the input tab. Any ideas what's going on?

[Zathor]

I posted this question a few days ago with no response Bug reports (and feature requests) may be overlooked here so if somebody really need/want the attention then the report has to be created in the SourceForge tracker.

Please post the log file. Also I assume that it has nothing to do with changes between 0.3.5.23 and 0.3.5.24 (please try it with extracting this file into your MeGUI directory http://megui.org/auto/megui-core_0_3_5_23.zip)

The file in Input tab must be a standard DTS or AC3.

If you have the audio track inside a container (mkv, m2ts, ts) is always better use eac3to with the stream extractor tool.

[Rat Killer]

They are standard dts and ac3 files created by dgindexnv.

Hi. Could you update oggenc2 in both x86 and x64 versions to this one (http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggenc.php)?

[dtscript]

I'm glad the "and close" check box was added to the muxer windows a couple versions back

However, when you uncheck it, queue a file to mux, and then start to select the next files to mux, the muxed output filename does not change

so for example I have 1.mp4 (vid), 1.m4a (audio), 2.mp4 (vid), 2.m4a (audio)
I use mp4 muxer
I select 1.mp4 for video and 1.m4a for audio
the muxed output will be something like 1-muxed.mp4
I uncheck "and close" then click queue, all is good
however, if I then select new video and audio inputs to be muxed, the output filename is still 1-muxed.mp4

I think the output filename needs to be updated based on the video input filename - this is how the indexer works

thanks for the great GUI and all the recent updates!

[Sharktooth]

seems reasonable

[Zathor]

Yes, and it has been implemented a few days ago. Forgot to mention it here. Sorry.
