MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Lighto]

.xml chapters created by Chapter Creator is broken.

Current .xml created:

....
......
.......
</ChapterLanguage>


Working example .xml:

....
......
.......
<ChapterLanguage>eng</ChapterLanguage>


However a more suitable fix would be to remove the current </ChapterLanguage> generated since Chapter Creator in MeGUI does not allow language to be chosen.

Hi:

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

The error says:
"The following error ocurred when trying to get Media info from file E:\xxxxxxxxxxxx\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB. The input string has not the right format"

Log shows nothing

Anyone can help?

[Zathor]

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?

megui 2035

[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.

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.

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.

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.

[rtjnyoface]

The avisynth creator keeps saying I may not have a yv12 decoder for some reason. This has only happened recently. Any ideas?

Reinstalled megui and fullyupdated

Why does MeGUI crash when trying to encode anything with 854 pixels wide?

[Error] [7/1/2011 10:21:39 AM] An error occurred: avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )

x264.exe itself can encode the avs script just fine, but I think vfw4x264.exe doesn't like it for some reason.

[Overdrive80]

Hi, i am trying extract video stream using one-click mode. However, megui show a error of resize and is because to create avs file, it automatically adds line LanczosResize(0,0)

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....

[Emp3r0r]

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?

[hello_hello]

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.

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?

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]

@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.

@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.

[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

1080i25 and 1080i30 need --tff and --sar 1:1

720p50 and720p60 need --sar 1:1

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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, 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.

[Zathor]

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.

[Overdrive80]

thanks for your effort.

[JoeH]

It will be back with the next build.

Thanks!

[Overdrive80]

When does this error occur? Please upload the error log somewhere else so that I can have a lookm into it.

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.
