MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[alter4]

Hello Guys! Thx for the great app!
Is it possible to add to one click mode subtitles extraction phase?

[the_weirdo]

New error

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.

[Famille_CB]

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 :
http://www.ouplo.com/img/mini/R3ljsSpgCwjOBitB0cFiEmcDl.jpg (http://www.ouplo.com/img/R3ljsSpgCwjOBitB0cFiEmcDl.jpg)

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.

Thank you for your help!

I just want to put my logs:

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]

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?

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, ...)?

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

If I don't use Prerendering, enconding works.
If I don't use Oneclick and Prerendering is active, encoding does NOT work

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

[Zathor]

Thanks, Luke. The problem is fixed in 2054.

At the moment it is only in the svn:

But of course it will be included in the next build which I release.

[Zathor]

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.

[luke83]

Oh yes. A preview version would be very appreciated, because I have to encode all my Lupin DVD and I can't set all manually every times :(

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.

[Zathor]

Thanks for all the one click encoder work Zathor! I'll be sure to try it out in the next few days and report my findings.


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?)
