MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Groucho2004]

Another one is mt_masktools.dll , that's an older one . There used to be mt_masktools-26.dll and mt_masktools-25.dll (for avisynth 2.6.x and 2.5.x , respectively, for masktools2 a48), but those are older too. The newest one is masktools2.dll (masktools 2 beta 1) for avisynth 2.6 , I would try updating that too

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/MaskTools2
I believe I covered that in my previous post.

I believe I covered that in my previous post.

Sorry, I didn't see it before posting. 2 min too late :o

Hey, we're getting somewhere, thanks to all!

Here is thelogfile from the speed test. I used a very short clip. I didn't include the script from the logfile (Huge!)

I tried to slip in a "changeFPS (30000, 1001)" at the end, but it didn't take, (it's still 14.985, maybe someone here will help me in the placement of that later.

With the script successfully getting through the meter, I tried MeGUI, and, success!

Now I just need to figure out how to get it back to 29.970, and then press on with what comes after I get me .264 file.

So, what does the AVSmeter tell us?

[Groucho2004]

FPS (min | max | average): 0.208 | 0.737 | 0.323
So, what does the AVSmeter tell us?That you have to have a lot of patience using that script. :D

[poisondeathray]

What was the culprit ? So that other people facing the same symptoms can get help next time. Does avspmod still not work for you ?

If you script has something like "return last", add the changefps() before that, or erase the return line . Or post the current version of the script

[Bruce/Fl]

That you have to have a lot of patience using that script. :D

Yeah, and I've only got 6 hours of film to process! lol

Maybe 3 hours, since I'm taking out the dupe frames .....

EDIT: I know John really worked on the speed, and he had great success. He has provisions in place for multi threading, but I'm not messing with that yet. (I'll probably need to reincorporate that MT_masktools.dll then?) My desktop that I am at has an old processor, an AMD A6-3650 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.60 GHz (Quad core)

My laptop has an i7, I hope to use that as much as I can, till I spring for a new desktop.

It looks like it was those newer .dlls Groucho had me switch out. Was it one in particular? I don't know.

After everything gets straightened out I can swap some back in and see which 1(s) jam it up.

I had temporarlily forgot about my AVVSPmod issue. I just tried it, still nothing. Won't open, and when I drag a script to the shortcut (or the executabe) nothing happens. Tried running as admin also, still nothing.

I'll post the script at present, next.

Part 1 of probably 3

# film restoration script by videoFred.
# denoising, resizing, stabilising, sharpening, auto-levels and auto-white balance.
#
# Modified by John Meyer, October 7, 2012
#
# Changes made by Meyer (June 8, 2010):
# 1. Replaced the MVDegrainMulti function, which was part of the original MVTools
# with the equivalent function using the newer and faster MVTools2.
# 2. Added RemoveDirt function prior to Degrain in order to eliminate large dust spots. This
# substantially improves the dirt removal capabilities of this script. The user will need to
# download this plugin at:
# http://www.removedirt.de.tf/
# 3. Eliminated a great deal of sharpening. The original script did sharpening in at least four places.
# With grainy film stock, this sometimes created objectionable grain. Also, the limitedSharpenFaster
# function, while excellent for video, is uncessarily slow, and isn't really needed for this low
# resolution source. Too much sharpening can make the film look too much like video.
# 4. Added multithreading. I was able to roughly triple the script performance. It may be possible to
# substantially increase this, perhaps as much as 12x instead of 3x. However, the autolevels function
# would have to be replaced.
# 5. Fixed several things I found. The result3 option didn't have the manual color correction code, so I
# added that back in. All the numbered "stab" variables (stab1, stab2, etc.) aren't needed except
# for providing a test function for stabilization. I eliminated all of this to streamline the script.
# 6. Deflicker seemed redundant, given all the averaging that takes place with MDegrain, and also the averaging
# that is done when the autolevels outputs are selected.
# 7. I reduced the number of frames used for averaging autolevels from the default (which is 5) to 2.
# I probably should add a variable in the header so the user can change this. Something else to do
# in the future ...
# 8. I added yet another set of crop parameters. I did this because both my capture and my output are
# done using NTSC DV AVI which is 720x480. However, 8mm film is almost exactly square, so the captured
# 720x480 video has black bars on the side. These need to be cropped off prior to doing motion
# stabilization, but then added back prior to the final output, which must still be 720x480 with the
# black bars on the side.
# 9. I reduced the default depan settings to 20, which is what was recommended in the original script. I
# also reduced the post-depan cropping. I did this so I could keep as much of the original frame
# as possible.
# 10. I removed the second denoising and sharpening function. It just seemed to be too much, and made the
# result too artificial
# 11. I removed the MVFLowFPS interpolation. I did this during one of dozens and dozens of attempts
# to improve the speed of the script. I should probably add this back, but if I do so, I also
# need to make it work correctly for interlaced output. If the goal is to show this on an NTSC or PAL
# television set, then it is not correct to convert from the film fps to 25 fps progressive (PAL) or
# 29.97 fps progressive (NTSC). Instead, this should be done as follows (example given is NTSC):
#
# MFlowFPS(source,super,backward_vec, forward_vec, num=60000, den=1001,ml=200)
# SeparateFields()
# SelectEvery(4, 0, 3)
# Weave()
#
# This yields interlaced 29.97, which has twice the temporal resolution as 29.97 progressive, and will
# therefore look correct on a TV set. I have done a lot of this as part of my Kinescope to video
# conversion scripts. For those scripts, the goal is to make the filmed version of a TV show look
# like it was actually videotaped. However, for something that originated on film, this "does violence"
# to the original feel of the media. It is true that it can make horizontal pans less "juddery," but
# it won't feel like film anymore. Also, this technique does break down, espcially with fast motion
# in the foreground.
# 12. Removed the unecessary "coloryuv(off_U=blue,off_V=red)" statement from the denoising section.
# 13. Added killaudio() statement to prevent lockups when using SetMTMode().
#
# Changes made on October 7, 2012
#
# 1. Modified RemoveDirtMC function to do estimation in two steps. This improves performance and quality.
# 2. Modified MDegrain to do estimation in two steps. This provides roughly the same quality with blocksize=8
# as what I was getting with blocksize=4, but with virtually no performance penalty
# 3. Updated to use special build of MVTools2 that works with SVP.
# 4. Moved Autolevels inside special multi-threading section in order to improve performance with autolevels.
# 5. Removed all trim commands because I do all editing outside the script (in Vegas).
# 6. Included two alternative ways to do frame interpolation: SVP and InterFrame. The InterFrame script is probably better
# but I included the SVP code because it may provide a starting point for more customized approaches. Neither is enabled by default.

I'm trying to set up both my desktop and my laptop with the same programs/scripts.

I have my desktop running the script, and the speed test and MeGUI both work with the script now.

Using the same avisynth, same plugins, etc, when I try to run the speed test on my laptop, it fails at the following step.

"There is no function named "MT_Binarize"

Here is the offending segment.

#STABILIZING
#....................................................................................................................................................................
stab_reference= cropped_source.crop(est_left,est_top,-est_right,-est_bottom).tweak(cont=est_cont).MT_binarize(threshold=80).greyscale().invert()
mdata=DePanEstimate(stab_reference,trust=1.0,dxmax=maxstabH,dymax=maxstabV)
#stab=DePanStabilize(cropped_source,data=mdata,cutoff=0.5,dxmax=maxstabH,dymax=maxstabV,method=1,mirror=15).deflicker()
stab=DePanStabilize(cropped_source,data=mdata,cutoff=0.5,dxmax=maxstabH,dymax=maxstabV,method=1,mirror=15)

My desktop avisynth setup lets it through, the laptop (windows 10, if it makes a difference) flags it.

Does that point to any particular dll that I may have mishandled, if anyone knows?

[poisondeathray]

mt_binarize is from masktools2.dll ; the older version was called mt_masktools-26.dll for avisynth 2.6.x

welcome to avisynth .dll hell :D everyone goes though it at some point

[Bruce/Fl]

I wonder why it works on my desktop and not on my laptop though, I'm not positive, but I believe I've got all the same files loaded up on each.

Make sure you comment out the explicit "Loadplugin()" statements in the script and check if the the auto-load directory has all the right plugin versions.

[Bruce/Fl]

A question for you. The way the script is written with that MT_binarize command, doesn't that necessitate having that MT_masktools plug-in in play? Maybe I accidentally left that in when I replaced it with the new masktools and that's why it's working?

I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd look myself. Just doing a thought exercise.

[Groucho2004]

No. The masktools2.dll I linked to in post #5080 contains mt_binarize.

Some advice - Try to get more familiar with Avisynth, this site (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Main_Page) is excellent for reference and tutorials.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Ooops...

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Can I remove the "update_cache"?
Or does MeGUI need this for something.

I regularly cull the "obsolete" and duplicate files, leaving a single file of each type, and I've never had a problem. I think (ha ha) that MeGUI automatically reverts to an older version if the updated version proves problematic, which is why I keep the newest backup. Someone more knowledgeable than I might offer insight...

OK, that explains why it worked on my desktop.

Yes, I've been there often, I did the first few pages of tutorials, the "getting started" stuff. I usually go back there when needing a new .dll for whatever reason, that site has legitimate and usually current links to get the latest and correct files.

There is a ton of useful info in there, and I try to read up as much as I can, although obviously not enough.

Make sure you comment out the explicit "Loadplugin()" statements in the script and check if the the auto-load directory has all the right plugin versions.

That made sense to me to do that, so I did that. Now, when the script tries to run in AVSInfo, it stops and says:

Script error: Clense does not have a named argument "cache"
<C:\Users\Bruce\Desktop\Practice\BJM1c.avs, line 330>
<C:\Users\Bruce\Desktop\Practice\BJM1c.avs, line 360>
<C:\Users\Bruce\Desktop\Practice\BJM1c.avs, line 202>

The only difference between my latest try and the successful one before it was I commented out that group of "Loadplugin" commands.

Does one (or more) of the Loadplugin commands I commented out need to remain, or does that kind of error point to something else entirely?

[Bruce/Fl]

I think I may have stumbled upon something here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172002

Which says that rgtools doesn't include removedirt.

But that raises another question, why does the script run when I do the loadplugin on rgtools, even though I took out the removedirt dll, which supposedly isn't included in rgtools?

There are about 238 remove dirt variants and versions

You have one in your script, called as a function as a dependency for removedirtmc . That actually relies on one of the 164.5 versions of removegrain.dll

I know you're trying to lead me down a path to understand what's happening, but I'm afraid I'm too inexperienced to see it..

I guess my question still is, it appears that that particular removedirt needs a loadplugin? I thought that if I had its replacement (rgtools) in the autoload folder, it would load by itself. When I manually load the RGtools, the script works.

[poisondeathray]

Script error: Clense does not have a named argument "cache"


Your script uses the old versions of clense etc.. rgtools isn't completely backwards compatible

Notice in the rgtools documention , the clense version there doesn't have cache argument, the original one does
https://github.com/tp7/RgTools/blob/master/README.md

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/RemoveGrain_v1.0b/RemoveGrain/Clense

You would have to modify your script or use the other version



I don't think rgtools needs loadplugin(), not sure what is going on there. Do you have the .dll in the plugins folder (not in a subfolder) ? rgtools does include removegrain, which is part of that function for that version of removedirt

I found out I still had the removedirt and removegrain DLLs in my syswow folder. I put them both in the plugin folder, and removed the rgtools and the script worked. I did them one at a time to see which ones were needed. So I kind a got a flow going now,l.

I'm still kind of having a hard time figuring out where to get the speed back up to 29.97 after running the filters. I looked for a return final statement, or something similar, and the script isn't written exactly that way. Looking at the script, do you have any suggestions on where I might put it? Maybe there is some verbiage in there that you recognized as the equivalent of the "return final" type of statement?

[poisondeathray]

Your last line of the actual script is

Eval(result)


All the stuff that comes after it are just function definitions

and at the top of the script, where you enter parameters, you've defined result as:

result="result4"


So find the line with result4 and add it to the end of it

It would be this one:

result4= PreBorderFrame.coloryuv(off_U=blue,off_V=red).levels(black_level,gamma,white_level,0,255).addborders(bord_left+in_bord_left, bord_top+in_bord_top, bord_right+in_bord_right, bord_bot+in_bord_bot).ChangeFPS(30000,1001)

It looks like that did the trick!

I think I tried that spot, (I tried a few places) in the same position, but not as a continuation of the same text line you did, (after adding a period) I just put a new line of text with the changeFPS command under that line. If that not working doesn't make sense, then I must be mistaken.

But regardless, it worked. Thank you PDR, and also Groucho, thank you very much also. And kudos to you both for putting up with my beginners level of comprehension about these processes.

Now that that has been hammered out, alond with my issues with AVSPmod, I think I'll go back to the other thread in Avisynth Usage, and try to get from having a good .264 file, to having it authored and ready to put on a BD.

And probably before I do that I also need to incorporate the L-Smash into the script so as to be able to take on some more robust files out of Vegas.

Again, thanks to all.

MeGUI version 2624 has a bug that it cannot export presets.

When I export my custom presets I get an empty 1kb .zip

If I revert to previous MeGUI 2525 version I am able to export the presets.

You can reproduce this by following these steps:


Download this: http://www.hejyhej.com/files/presets.7z
Open the /presets/ directory and extract hejmegui.zip
Import hejmegui.zip and all presets within.
Then attempt to export the presets you've just imported.


End result: empty 1kb .zip file.

[hello_hello]

MeGUI's script creator is somewhat misleading at the moment when anamorphic encoding is enabled. It doesn't matter if the resizing and aspect error are wrong because resizing is disabled, but it's misleading, especially for someone new to MeGUI, and it's hard enough for them to understand the anamorphic options. Today I found myself once again explaining to someone via a forum post why you can encode mod16 with an option called "encode non mod16". Could the name be easily changed? "Anamorphic strict" as Handbrake describes it would make more sense.

http://s28.postimg.org/57zysmkrh/Me_GUI.gif

I don't know whether you saw my bug report a while back Zathor, but switching encoder presets still doesn't work when the encoder configuration is open, it only has an effect if you also change an encoder setting. If you select a different preset and close the encoder configuration it'll revert to the previously selected preset.

Opening the preview via the button in the video section and changing the DAR should force MeGUI to use the selected DAR if you add the script to the queue for encoding immediately after closing the preview. It's not working.

Thanks.

[Carlo75]

I'm not sure if it's a real bug or I doing something wrong, but maybe you can help me.

I have several times try to encode some different mpeg2.ts files, but everytime the encoding crashed at the second rendering job with this error:

Process exits with error: 0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (-1073741819)

The error comes only when the second pass encoding starts, whitout them anything works well, but for better quality I want the second pass...

I already tried different thinks like disable x264 64bit, but nothing help. For the last test I deinstalled and reinstalled MeGui complette, but without success...

Errorlog is attached.

Greets

Carlo

[hello_hello]

The error comes only when the second pass encoding starts, whitout them anything works well, but for better quality I want the second pass...

I don't know why it's happening (can't see your error.txt file yet), but in case you didn't know...
x264's quality based encoding (CRF) encodes exactly the same way as 2 pass. There's very minor differences, but if each method encoded the same video at the same bitrate, the quality would be identical.

So for 2 pass encoding the bitrate or file size is known, but the quality is unknown.
For CRF encoding it's the other way around. You pick the quality and the bitrate will be whatever it needs to be (according to how hard the video is to compress).

[Carlo75]

Hi hello_hello.

Ok, I had always selected CRF18 and pre-rendering. If I understand you right, that was not necessary.

But on the other way, it should work anyway... for that there must be something wrong.

Greets

Carlo

[hello_hello]

Carlo75,
I'm not sure if I'm following your log file exactly.... there seems to be some OneClick encoder stuff in there.... but when you referred to a second pass I thought you meant you'd configured x264 for 2 pass encoding. It runs the first pass to work out how to distribute the bits and a second pass to encode, and you'd specify a file size or bitrate.

A pre-rendering job is something else. To be honest I've never used it as it was probably intended. I think the idea is if you're using 2 pass encoding (x264 configured for 2 pass) and you've got very slow filtering in a script, the pre-rendering job applies the filtering to the video but the output is encoded as a lossless AVI in a single pass. Once that's done the lossless AVI is used for 2 pass encoding and the encoder can run each pass at full speed. The filtering doesn't have to be run twice as it normally would.
I'm pretty sure MeGUI lets you add a pre-rendering job when using CRF encoding but I can't imagine there'd ever be much point. Without pre-rendering the source is being decompressed and re-encoded, with pre-rendering the source is being decompressed and saved as a lossless AVI which is then re-encoded, but the result should be exactly the same either way.

I did manage to reproduce your problem. Process exits with error: 0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (-1073741819)
I'm running XP so I can't use the latest ffmpeg (which is used to create the lossless AVI) because it doesn't work, so I rolled back to an earlier version. It created the lossless AVI for me, but after that was indexed x264 produced the same error in the log file.
I tried again while encoding with Xvid and I thought it was successful, but I discovered it had encoded the error message instead. This time it was:
CAVIStreamSynth: Access Violation at 0xba3c06, reading from 0x1091020

Best as I can tell it's ffmsindex's fault. If I manually create a script to open the lossless AVI with L-Smash it encodes successfully. For the moment though it's probably not something you need to worry about because it seems like creating a pre-rendering job isn't necessary in your case.

For anyone who might want to look at the problem, if I create a lossless AVI using MeGUI's pre-rendering option, and I then create the following script to open it, the script will open in MeGUI's preview, it'll open in MPC-HC, but it won't encode via MeGUI. That's me and MeGUI and XP, if it's relevant. I can't test older versions of ffms2 myself at the moment as I'm in the middle of some encoding jobs that are using it for decoding.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("D:\test.avi", threads=1)

Hello, I'd like to request the ability to sort the columns in the HD Stream Extractor window, specifically in the Features pane. Right now when you click on a column name/header, it does nothing. Having them sort in both ascending and descending fashion would be helpful when processing discs with Screen Pass protection, for example.

did as you said, replaced it with new one but crashed at 67% :/

[LigH]

So the reason is probably not the encoder itself, but possibly the hardware (e.g. overheating CPU or RAM), especially when it's a different location each time you try, and crashing earlier with less cool-down break. Or the source video when it's always at the same position.

[Ma]

did as you said, replaced it with new one but crashed at 67% :/

Thanks for info. If not x264 then maybe Avisynth.

Could you try to delete (comment out) the line from your script:
InterFrame(Cores=4, GPU=True)

I know that this will be different result of encoding but this is only for testing.

[hello_hello]

The encode in the log file only ran for a minute or so before it crashed, but MeGUI seemed to be able to finish the cleanup jobs without any problem, so my vote wouldn't be for overheating.

DirectShowSource + Interframe seems a bit daring to me. DSS2 + Interframe mightn't be as daring, but still a little brave.

The first thing I'd try would be something other than DSS2 to open the video with GPU=True taken out of the equation for Interframe.

You can open MP4s without indexing with L-Smash. They open pretty quickly. You still need to use the File Indexer to open them or you'll only be offered DirectShowSource as an alternative, but after the File Indexer runs the Script Creator opens an MP4 with LSMASHVideoSource (LSMASHAudioSource for audio encoding) rather than LWLibavVideoSource. I'd try that rather than DSS2.

[adem940]

the thing is, I don't get this error in every video, it was happening before too with some videos but when I replace an old version of x264.exe, it was working fine, but this time it doesn't work, always giving error with this video, tried another video with same type, I mean really same type, bitrate and all but it worked well, this video gives error :/

@hello_hello

I deleted them manually cause it gave error...

@Ma

it gave error ''cannot open video output''

I think I will just give up on this video :/ it is working with same type other videos but not this one, too weird.

I just wanted to make some comparison tests between x264 and x265. it seems there is a missing space when megui creates the commandline for x265 in the case of using high bit depth input.

between the paramters "--input-res 1280x534" and "--tune ssim" is a missing space.

edit2: by removing the parameter "--input-csp i444" (which should be optional according to the commandline help) the issue disappeared. weird...

The numbering in the changelog seems to be a little off:

2933 updated the wiki links to point to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MeGUI
2931 [MediaInfo] improved DVD audio track language detection
2930 [Audio Encoder] fixed a crash if a very large audio delay is used

I assume they should be 2630, 2631, 2633 and 2634?

I'm not sure when this started happening but I don't think it was an issue with the previous version of MeGUI/MediaInfo (on 2634/0.7.84.0, respectively)

[LigH]

I would not be surprised about that. AviSynth scripts are text files. I doubt that MediaInfo supports the AviSynth API to report details about the frameserver output. MediaInfo is a tool to analyze headers of "physical" media files, it will most probably not handle logical media sources.

But I believe MeGUI should not report this error prominently when using an AviSynth script as source. There is not much sense in checking *.avs with MediaInfo, except to ensure that it is not an accidentally renamed file with a wrong filename extension.

MediaInfo consistently throws up errors when I load up an avs:

It's fine for me (running XP) and MeGUI 2634.
I assume you're referring to loading a script in the video section for encoding?

Under the MediaInfo section in the log file, I found this after loading a script and having a look.

[Information] [23/05/16 9:32:35 PM] MediaInfo
-[Information] [23/05/16 9:32:35 PM] File: D:\Video.lwi
-[Information] Indexed File: E:\Source Video.mkv

Are you using the same file indexing or script opening method each time?

I reverted AvisynthWrapper.dll in the MeGUI folder to the old version quite a while ago. I don't know the version number but the file date is 2009. I haven't tried the new one again since, but it gave me grief at the time, hence the switch. It's something you could try.

A slightly related question.....
Has anyone noticed if loading scripts with LWLibavVideoSource (and probably also containing slow filtering such as QTGMC), takes a fair bit longer than the same script with ffmsindex? The cursor turns to "busy" for a little while, then the script loads. It's not a tragically long time but I'm sure it takes longer than an ffms2 script to load.

It could be an XP thing or the older XP compatible L-Smash I'm using, and I did play with AvisynthWrapper.dll, which is why I'm asking the question. I don't have a non-XP PC I can use as a comparison at the moment, so I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a script loading speed difference. Encoding speed is fine, it's just the script loading.

[hello_hello]

Specifically mentioning XP (in case I should), is there a way to tell software to stop complaining and get on with it if the software itself doesn't offer an option to try?

MeGUI drives me a little nutty with this when it's in the middle of an encoding job and there's a few in the queue. The job still finishes, but I have to keep my eye on the x264 process using Task Manager and restart MeGUI's job queue when it's done.

This was a result of my second favourite way to make MeGUI think it's crashed.... by changing the resolution of the output with complex filtering in the script, maybe combined with having done something dumb, then refreshing the preview.
As you can see from the the tasks I initiated after it happened (aside from the running encode), MeGUI appears to be functioning perfectly. I'd like to be able to dismiss the error message or at least change it's "always on top" status so it's not in the way. I'm not sure if it's possible at the moment though.

Thanks.

[hello_hello]

As a result of a discussion here (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/379213-Keep-aspect-ratio-in-AviSynth?p=2452742#post2452742) I discovered a bit of a problem with MeGUI muxing DVD subtitles into an MP4 container.... sometimes..... but here's a copy and paste of what I wrote in the other thread after a bit of experimenting.

It seems there's an oddity in the way VobSubber extracts subtitles and the way MeGUI adds them to the command line for MP4 muxing in relation to the track number of the subtitle.... or something..... I'm not 100% sure yet. It seems though, automatically adding them via the OneClick encoder mightn't always work.

When I opened the IFO file I was using for testing, VobSubber showed a single English subtitle stream numbered 01. When I checked the "show all subtitle streams" option there was a stream 00 listed, a stream 02 listed, a stream 03 listed etc, but all listed as "not detected".

I extracted the single English stream and MeGUI used the following to add it to the command line for MP4 muxing:
-add "E:\testing\VTS_01_0.idx#trackID=1:lang=eng:na me="
There was an obscure warning in the log file about "track 1 ID not being found in file" and there were no subtitles muxed.
I tried again, but rather than selecting the single subtitle when extracting, I checked "keep all subtitle streams" in VobSubber. Only the stream "01 English" was being displayed. After extracting I tried muxing again and MeGUI created the same command line. This time though, the subtitles were muxed and the warning was replaced with:
VobSub import - subpicture stream 'eng'

I don't quite understand what's happening. When opened with VobSubber, the English subtitle (and the only subtitle) appears to be track one (although the first stream could be track zero). When extracting by selecting the single English stream VobSubber must extract it as track zero and MeGUI can't find it, although why it detects it as track one when adding it for muxing I don't know. I'm making guesses here, but if it's a track identification problem it only effects MP4 muxing as far as I can tell. MKV muxing is fine.

I tried three different versions of MP4Box and I could successfully mux the subtitle file MeGUI didn't mux with MyMP4BoxGUI, so I'm fairly confident Mp4Box is not to blame. Anyone experienced anything similar?

As a result of a discussion here (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/379213-Keep-aspect-ratio-in-AviSynth?p=2452742#post2452742) I discovered a bit of a problem with MeGUI muxing DVD subtitles into an MP4 container.... sometimes..... but here's a copy and paste of what I wrote in the other thread after a bit of experimenting.

In that same thread I eventually wrote a lengthy post describing the cause of the problem as I understand it.
http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/379213-Keep-aspect-ratio-in-AviSynth?p=2453503&viewfull=1#post2453503

There's a possible issue with MeGUI detecting subtitles in DVD (IFO) files I'm yet to test properly, but that aside, MeGUI detected a single subtitle stream for the DVD I was experimenting with, and they were subtitle stream one. Subtitle streams appear to be numbered beginning with zero, so in this case after VobSubber extracted the subtitle stream, it created an idx file where stream 0 was empty and stream 1 contained the subtitles.

Best as I can tell, when muxing subtitles into an MP4, MeGUI always specifies track 1 in the command line. Track 1 = Subtitle Stream 0, which means when Stream 0 is empty no subtitles are muxed.

When muxing MKVs, whatever the command line MeGUI uses (I can't remember) MKVToolnix always muxes all the streams containing subtitles (found in the extracted idx file).

If what I've written doesn't make immediate sense, the screenshots in the post I link to should illustrate the problem.

[Carlo75]

I installed this days Windows 10 on my new Computer and have now a problem with MeGui.
Since I have Win10 installed, I can't drag & drop any file into MeGui. For other programs (for example MKVToolNix, MKVExtractGui or TSMuxerGui), there are no issues.

As I know, it has to do with User account control, but disabling UAC should not be the solution. Because drag & drop works in other programs as well, I think there must be another way.

Do you known this issues and is there a solution or you working on a solution?

Greets

Carlo

[LigH]

The reason is probably that MeGUI wants to create job files below its installation directory.

The most usual solution is to install MeGUI outside of an UAC monitored directory branch (e.g. if you have several partitions, to D:\MeGUI).

To adapt the structure of MeGUI to circumvent the UAC would require some efforts (e.g. storing job files as well as executable tools - to be easily updateable - in %APPDATA%).

[Carlo75]

I reinstalled MeGui on another patition and now works.
Thank you for support!

Are you allowed to publish it in binary form, according to the license? I doubt...

[Barough]

An earlier version of it was posted here by Kurtnoise so....... but if it's not allowed so can some1 remove my post.

[hello_hello]

I'll confess I've never quite got my head around the difference between mpeg2 and mpeg4 AAC profiles, but of the profiles in MeGUI's fdkaac encoder configuration....

The MPEG2 HE v2 profile doesn't work with the previous version of fdkaac I was using (fdkaac 0.6.2, libfdk-aac 3.4.12, according to MediaInfo) and after updating it to the version Barough uploaded (fdkaac 0.6.3, libfdk-aac 3.4.22, according to MediaInfo) my very quick testing indicates it's now bye-bye to all three MPEG2 profiles in MeGUI's encoder configuration (none of them work).

A quick google led to this, which probably explains it, if I found the correct changelog for that version of fdkaac:
https://github.com/nu774/fdkaac/blob/master/ChangeLog
"* Ticket #23: quit supporting MPEG-2 AOT"

There doesn't seem to be any indication the AAC encoding has been improved, or changed, or modified recently, so maybe it's better not to upgrade, at least if you're using fdkaac with MeGUI.

PS. Well while I'm here.... what, for example, would be the difference between mpeg2 LC-AAC and mpeg4 LC-AAC, both being options available in MeGUI's encoder configuration. Anyone know?

Cheers.

Ever since it auto-updated some files, MeGUI has been giving me this error:

LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\Users\J\Desktop\MAIN\OTHER PROGRAMS\MeGUI_2525_x86\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll", Module not found. Install missing library?

That dll is in the MeGUI_2525_x86\tools folder. I even copied that dll to both System32 and SYSWOW64 folders but it still isn't being recognized.

That dll is in the MeGUI_2525_x86\tools folder. I even copied that dll to both System32 and SYSWOW64 folders but it still isn't being recognized.

Is msvcr120.dll in the same folder as LSMASHSource.dll? ie in the tools\lsmash folder? LSMASHSource.dll doesn't belong in the System32 or SYSWOW64 folders, but it sounds like it's needing a missing dependency.

According to the LSMASHSource page it requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (which is why MeGUI normally puts msvcr120.dll in the same folder as LSMASHSource.dll), but try installing that. It's a small download. There's a link to it here. http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSMASHSource

If you haven't, also try rebooting. Every so often MeGUI gives me a similar error because it can't load a plug-in. One that it's been loading for days but suddenly it claims there's a missing dependency. I can use the plug-in in question in a script and successfully open the script with MPC-HC, but not with MeGUI. For whatever reason, rebooting fixes it.

[mini-moose]

I can confirm this behavior with XP and W7 using FFMS2 2.22 - I have not tried other FFMS2 or OS versions, but L-SMASH works. So it must be related to FFMS2 together with the new wrapper. I cannot do much there. Maybe I can load the video twice when FFMS2 is used as a workaround.

Has there been some workaround for that ffms2 issue? I've been using lsmash mostly, but this mp4 I'm trying now doesn't get to the correct fps with lsmash, so I tried ffms which does produce the correct fps but I can't preview after indexing. I get a black screen...

OS is Win10 not XP.

edit: It seems fpsnum=50, fpsden=1, threads=1 on ffms is what made it keep on correct fps, that bit is not added on lsmash. Still, I can't preview the indexed source under ffms, but can under lsmash.

[hello_hello]

I reverted back to the old AvisynthWrapper.dll to fix the black preview issue, which was a constant issue using XP.

For the record.... the frame rate conversion issue with ffms2 and AVIs.... the frame rate conversion causing ffms2 to sometimes drop or duplicate frames it shouldn't..... I've witnessed a similar issue several times with MKVs and MP4s when there's frame rate conversion in the script, with both ffms2 and L-Smash.
I think it might be a "jitter" thing and sometimes there's too much, but I've completely reversed my original theory that adding frame rate conversion to a script by default is a good idea. Well it still is a good idea.... if it always worked correctly, but alas....

[mini-moose]

I reverted back to the old AvisynthWrapper.dll to fix the black preview issue, which was a constant issue using XP.

Thanks for your advice hello_hello.

I found AvisynthWrapper.dll in megui's root. I'm not sure what it does exactly and if it's safe to revert it..will do some research.

One I currently seem to have is v1.0.2626.0. Which one did you revert to?

[hello_hello]

I think there's the latest one and the old one. I'm not sure I've been using MeGUI long enough to have experienced a prior version, if there was such a thing.

I'm not sure about the version number (it doesn't say) but if you have AvisynthWrapper.dll.backup in the same folder, renaming the current version before removing.backup from the old one should do the job. Unless MeGUI is deleting backup files, in which case I've uploaded it here (http://www.filedropper.com/avisynthwrapper) for you.
Mines got a modified date of 2nd Jan 2009 and it's 57kB.

[kuchikirukia]

It would be nice if MeGUI would cache avs scripts you queue. More than once I've loaded a script, hit start, gone back to edit the script for the next encode, saved it, and had MeGUI use the new one, because it seems to go back to the .avs after indexing, even though this doesn't show in the log anywhere.

[hello_hello]

Could you expand on "seems to go back to the .avs after indexing"? Maybe I'm being dumb, but I don't quite understand what you mean.

[tebasuna51]

I found another bug (first one (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1761542#post1761542)) related with MediaInfo info and how MeGUI use that info.

Many thanks hello_hello, I'll give it a try. I usually delete the backup files after a while so I don't have the old version.

I couldn't find anything newer than r4352 from 2008 on a web search: http://avisynthwrapper.codeplex.com/releases/view/10429
Seems is was updated by tebasuna51 who is a mod here :)

The dll you kindly provided seems to fix the issue with ffms2. I'm just somewhat unsure exactly what the wrapper does and whether it's important to run a more recent version or not. I can't really find a lot of info about it.

[kuchikirukia]

Open avs
click queue
MeGUI starts work
quickly edit avs
save
MeGUI encodes with new avs settings

So it's reloading the avs at some point at the beginning of the encode.

[tebasuna51]

So it's reloading the avs at some point at the beginning of the encode.

Like you can see in logs:

there are a few of steps before send the Job command line than can include the avs file, if you modify the file in this time (9 sec in my sample) the encoder read other file than the analyzed or showed in log.

Recommended workaround: if you edit the avs before this time save it with other name.

[kuchikirukia]

Like you can see in logs:


It will do it after that. I've had it encode an entirely different video than the script it shows in the log. So at some point it reloads it again without logging.

[tebasuna51]

So at some point it reloads it again without logging.

Not MeGUI but the encoder, because complete command line is like this:

x264 [parameters] INPUT.avs -o output

then the avs is passed like a filename than x264 must read, if is not the same...

[j8ee]

Just noticed the muxers doesn't accept matroska input files for audio, whether .mka or .mkv. Megui 2634
(posted this in the wrong thread before)

[LigH]

They may support only the raw audio inside these containers. That depends on the CLI multiplexers used by MeGUI. Multiplexing to Matroska using mkvmerge should probably accept MKA input, though, that will be worth an investigation. Support by multiplexers to other formats is doubtful, you may have to extract the raw content of the audio streams first.

[tebasuna51]

MkvMerge (MkvToolNix) accept .mka and .mkv input, of course, but the 'MeGUI ->Tools -> Muxer -> Mkv muxer' filter the audio inputs without accept .mka or .mkv (but accept .m4a or .mp4 and other standalone audio formats).

Also 'MeGUI ->Tools -> HD Stream Extractor' don't support .mka or .mkv with only audio.
You need other tool, MkvExtract or UsEac3to, to extract the audio previously.
Or mux the .mka/.mkv after with MkvToolNix.

qaac 2.60 was released (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/news/qaacrelease260):



Fix: combination of --adts and --concat was generating invalid AAC file.
Changed 7.1ch rear channel layout in favor of Apple QuickTime.
Support new Wavpack v5 64bit API
Update: libsoxr
Update: taglib


qaac was using 3 front + 2 side + 2 back for 7.1ch rear output. However, it turned out that Apple QuickTime cannot handle this, and only recognizes 3 front + 4 back. OTOH, libavcodec couldn't recognize the latter until this patch http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-cvslog/2015-June/090556.html. Anyway it now handles both, so I decided to change 7.1ch rear layout to 3 front + 4 back, which is supported by both of them.


Will this be included in MeGUI development server?

[tebasuna51]

WARNING: the qaac 2.60 seems a buggy version.

A standard wav 7.1: FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,SL,SR

Well, can you explain what exactly got worse on 2.60/2.61 compared to 2.59 ?
It's almost unbelievable that everything on your table has been "OK" on 2.59.

[igrat]

Okay, file under "W" for "weird"... this sounds strange, but I've tested it multiple times, even with a clean download of MeGUI and it seems completely consistent.

It appears that MeGUI updates go about twice as fast as normal if you hold down the right mouse button within this part of the window:

Is this a freak occurrence that only happens on my machine, or does it happen for other people as well?

First of all say than all my test with 5.1 seems work fine with all qaac versions, .aac or .m4a output and all decoders.

The problem is only with 7.1.

I checked 2.60 because the change:
Changed 7.1ch rear channel layout in favor of Apple QuickTime.

But you are right the version 2.59 is also buggy.
I can't trust in a encoder/decoder than itself don't preserve the channel order:

qaac260 --adts -o TEST.aac FL_FR_FC_LF_BL_BR_SL_SR.wav
qaac260 -D -o FC_FL_FR_SL_SR_BL_BR_LF.wav TEST.aac

qaac259 --adts -o TEST.aac FL_FR_FC_LF_BL_BR_SL_SR.wav
qaac259 -D -o SL_SR_FC_LF_BL_BR_FL_FR.wav TEST.aac

After many test I can say:

- BassAudio and Faad decoders don't work with 7.1, .aac or .m4a, created by any version of qaac or NeroAacEnc.

- qaac decoder don't work with 7.1 .aac created with any qaac version or .m4a created by NeroAacEnc.

- NeroAacDec work fine with any .m4a created with any qaac version or NeroAacEnc.

- decoders bassed in libavcodec (LWLibavAudioSource, FFAudioSource, Foobar2000, ...) works fine with .aac or .m4a created by any version of qaac or NeroAacEnc.

- I don't know what happen with others soft/hardware decoders.

My final recomendation is don't encode 7.1 to .aac, use always .m4a. The metadata in mp4 container have more chances to be well interpreted than metadata in ADTS headers.

I found another bug (first one (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1761542#post1761542)) related with MediaInfo info and how MeGUI use that info.

Reading ADTS headers (without decode) we can't know if is HE-AAC or LC-AAC but the channel number is well know and I can't understand for what this: 2 / 6 / 6

The problem is when the user select downmix and MeGUI refuse that:

Hi,

Are you sure that the other and this bug are not MediaInfo problems? If not what should I change in MeGUI?

[tebasuna51]

Are you sure that the other and this bug are not MediaInfo problems? If not what should I change in MeGUI?

Of course is a MediaInfo problem, but when there are a conflict MeGUI must trust in AviSynth and continue without abort.

[Zathor]

I am just changing it in the way that the MediaInfo from the block will be used which matches the AVS channel count.
E.g. MediaInfo
7 channels / 6 channels
3/2/1.1 / 3/2/0.1
With NicAudio (6 channels in AVS) 3/2/0.1 will be selected, with LWLibavAudioSource (7 channels in AVS) it will be 3/2/1.1.
==> The "channel count mismatch" warning should be gone

May I ask you also to have a look at your post?

To downmix to stereo, dpl, etc.?

Easy, apply first function c71_c51() or function c61_c51() and after the downmix 5.1 to stereo selected.

Thanks for the updates, Zathor.

However, I find the vobsubber change to be very bad. Personally, I rather have all vobsubs from a DVD in one idx/sub set and not in several idx/sub files with no visible language tag.
I don't always mux the vobsubs as there are many different players with different kinks (some won't play vobsubs at all, some will only play external, some will only play internal etc).

Perheps you can add an option to choose between split streams and one set on the vobsubber dialog or in global megui settings? I've rolled back to the previous version for now.

Informative note: the latest Komisar x264 r2721 build (VLC didn't release an official build since r2705), has a new variation of --preset slow:

Thanks for the info.
I use --preset slow a lot and I can't say I noticed a difference in performance (I generally use slow filtering) or a difference in quality, but I had a feeling something was different when I looked at the encoder settings written by x264, but I never investigated further. Now I know why.
Unfortunately it means the advanced settings displayed by MeGUI's encoder configuration are now wrong for --preset slow. I've added it to the bugs list at sourceforge in case Zather doesn't see these posts.

tebasuna51, did you have a chance to test fhgaacenc and fdkaac for 7.1? Thanks.

The situation for 7.1ch audio is even more of a mess than it was for 5.1ch due to hacks for encoding/decoding. Here's what I worked out a while ago. Someone correct me if I've got any of it wrong.

There's two main 7.1ch speaker configurations:
7.1ch (rear) = L R C LFE BackL BackR SideL SideR (in wave file order)
7.1ch (front) = L R C LFE BackL BackR FrontSurroundL FrontSurroundR (in wave file order)

The first layout is the one we care about (home theatre 7.1ch). The second layout is the default for AAC (cinema 7.1ch), so it gets funky. Instead of side and back surround there's an extra pair of surround speakers at the front between the left and right speakers, with a single pair of side/surround channels (the same as 5.1ch).

AAC encoders/decoders can support 7.1ch (rear) by writing an element to the AAC stream, but before some of them did, 7.1ch (rear) was generally remapped as 7.1ch (front) for encoding then remapped as 7.1ch (rear) for decoding. Unless it's changed quite recently, ffmpeg still decodes under that assumption by default (I don't know if "remapping' is technically the correct description, but rather 7.1ch rear is simply encoded as 7.1ch front and 7.1ch front is decoded as 7.1ch rear, and two wrongs can make a right). If it's not encoded and decoded the same way you end up with the side surround channels in the front surround. That sort of thing.

NeroAAC encodes 7.1ch (rear) as 7.1ch (front), therefore I wouldn't use it for 7.1ch encoding.
FFmpeg's native AAC encoder encodes 7.1ch (rear) as 7.1ch (front).
FhGAAC encodes 7.1ch (rear) as 7.1ch (front). It remaps the channels slightly differently to Nero though so if it's decoded as 7.1ch (front) the result isn't as bad.
FDKAAC encodes 7.1ch (rear) as 7.1ch (rear).
QAAC encodes 7.1ch (rear) as 7.1ch (rear). It didn't always, but it's done so since version 2.35 (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/news/qaacrelease235refalac135).

A few other observations:
Some encoders assume the audio is a certain layout based on the number of channels when it isn't. NeroAAC, FhGAAC & FFmpeg's native AAC encoder can potentially remap channels when encoding and not tell you about it.
FDKAAC is well behaved and rejects layouts it doesn't support. It don't think it ever remaps channels.
QAAC is well behaved and either rejects layouts it doesn't support or remaps channels only when it makes sense (5.1ch wave files with back surround or 5.1ch wave files with side surround are both encoded as 5.1ch surround etc). QAAC Multichannel Handling (https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki/Multichannel--handling).

ffmpeg has a "-strict 1" option for decoding 7.1ch AAC so 7.1ch (front) is decoded as it should be (mentioned in the qaac changelog I linked to). Without -strict 1 it assumes 7.1ch (front) is really 7.1ch (rear) and remaps the channels accordingly when decoding.
Foobar2000 uses ffmpeg to decode and has an option to set -strict 1 in it's preferences (Advanced/Decoding). Unless I'm losing the plot, which is quite possible, that option is broken at the moment and has no effect. I'll test it again later.

None of the above specifically answers the question you asked tebasuna51 as I'm not sure I understand what the issue is there. Foobar2000 appears to be decoding 7.1ch (rear) encoded by QAAC 2.59, 2.60 and 2.61 the same way (I only checked m4a files, not raw AAC).
I wrote all of the above to explain why I'd probably avoid FhGAAC for 7.1ch audio. I'm assuming MeGUI and the AVIsynth decoders keep the correct/original channel layout when decoding 7.1ch. I don't use MeGUI for audio encoding much myself.

[hello_hello]

First of all say than all my test with 5.1 seems work fine with all qaac versions, .aac or .m4a output and all decoders.

The problem is only with 7.1.

I checked 2.60 because the change:

But you are right the version 2.59 is also buggy.
I can't trust in a encoder/decoder than itself don't preserve the channel order:

qaac260 --adts -o TEST.aac FL_FR_FC_LF_BL_BR_SL_SR.wav
qaac260 -D -o FC_FL_FR_SL_SR_BL_BR_LF.wav TEST.aac

qaac259 --adts -o TEST.aac FL_FR_FC_LF_BL_BR_SL_SR.wav
qaac259 -D -o SL_SR_FC_LF_BL_BR_FL_FR.wav TEST.aac

Are you sure that's correct? The channel mappings in red, how are you determining them? Is QAAC supposed to remap to wave file layout when it decodes?
7.1ch (front) should be encoded as (AAC channel order):
Centre FrontSurroundL FrontSurroundR Left Right SurroundL SurroundR LFE
If it's 7.1ch (rear) it'd be (AAC channel order):
Centre Left Right SurroundL SurroundR RearSurroundL RearSurroundR LFE

The output for 2.60 seems to make more sense than 2.59, assuming 2.60 isn't being remapped back to wave file channel order when it's decoded, but I can't quite seem to get my head around your result. It's as though 2.59 is remapping to wave file layout but not correctly (something to do with 7.1ch front being decoded as rear maybe?) and 2.60 is decoding it as 7.1ch rear but not remapping back to wave file layout at all.... or something.

Currently if I decode 7.1ch (rear) in an M4A with foobar2000 it seems okay, but if I extract the audio as AAC, foobar2000 reports it as unsupported. I'm not sure if that's something new or why it's happening.

[tebasuna51]

tebasuna51, did you have a chance to test fhgaacenc and fdkaac for 7.1? Thanks.
(Sorry I do not have fdkaac.) I found a fdkaac v 0.6.2 from 2016/05/01.

1) I don't like 7.1 audio, for me is a commercial idea to force buy new audio systems.
With only four speakers (FL,FR,BL,BR) is enough to offer a 2D audio surround.
Other question is 3D audio surround with ceiling speakers.
Then, for me is more than enough 5.1 audio.

2) But exist 7.1 audio systems.
Where you put the surround speakers?
The Side speakers at 90-100º and the Back speakers at 140º more or less. That correspond to channel layout: FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,SL,SR
Do you change the speaker position to listen other channels layout?
Nope.
Any other channel layout 7.1 is usseless to end user. Then encode to other channel layout than FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,SL,SR is usseless at all. Maybe for lab test but not for audio movie tracks.

3) Each codec can rename and reorder the channels internally without problems but must guarantee than a pair encoder-decoder preserve the channel order.
At least if I supply a standard 7.1 layout FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,SL,SR to encoder I want the same decoder output.

Seems than AAC 7.1 have many problems about this:
Encoder/Decoder Bass Faad LWlibav NeroDec qaac
--------------- ---- ---- ------- ------- ----
fhgaacenc (1) (2) (3) (3) OK
ffmpeg (1) (4) OK OK (3)
fdkaac (4) (4) OK OK OK
NeroAacEnc (1) (4) OK OK (3)
qaac (m4a) (4) (4) OK OK OK
qaac (aac) (5) (2) OK - (4)

(1) Seven channels with all channels muxed.
(2) Wrong channel map: FC,SL,SR,FL,FR,BL,BR,LF
(3) Wrong channel map: SL,SR,FC,LF,BL,BR,FL,FR
(4) Wrong channel map: FC,FL,FR,SL,SR,BL.BR.LF
(5) Empty

@hello_hello
Yes, I'm sure than it's correct.

m4a from qaac seems work fine with libav patch (LWlibav, Foobar2000) but don't work with the old decoder faad and with last Bass decoder (2015-04-01)

EDIT: Add fdkaac test

Also, if anyone finds it useful, L-SMASH Indexer works with VC-1 video if the video (only the video, no audio) is muxed as a .ts file (using tsMuxeR) then indexed with L-SMASH. I don't know why this works but it does (I've been doing this successfully for several years). Out of paranoia I demux the video to raw .vc1 (using the HD Steams Extractor) then remux it with tsMuxeR, but it might work otherwise, too.

Mhm, I have to test that. But in any case even if it works that way that is far from being optimal as I would always have to include steps to remux it.

I agree that it's not very practical and isn't really doable within MeGUI, I just posted the information in case someone found it useful (since it's a way to still use MeGUI for the encoding) :) .

[tebasuna51]

When you use 'HD streams extractor tool' to extract the video muxed as .mkv, eac3to need Haali Matroska Muxer.

But you can extract (Extract As) that video as elementary video stream .h264, and now you don't need Haali Matroska Muxer.

[j8ee]

Thanks, and I also wanted the developers to know that megui's default settings produce errors.

[Zathor]

Thanks, but which default settings produce errors? Do you mean that the external tool is not properly installed?

For some functions the haali splitter is needed. You have that twice in the log. It cannot be installed by MeGUI as for that administrative permissions are required. MeGUI will not perform such actions automatically, but you will be informed that it is required.

Also not all eac3to use cases need the splitter.

[LigH]

I would even doubt that TransportStreams with AAC audio are very common. I guess a surveillance camera may produce that. But I don't know any consumer media format for cinematic movies offering such a combination.

[sneaker_ger]

AAC in TS is used for TV broadcast in some regions so it shouldn't be that uncommon. (German DVB-T2 specs require HE-AAC player support as well)

[j8ee]

Thanks, but which default settings produce errors?
/.../The HD Streams Extractor tool's.

Do you mean that the external tool is not properly installed?
/.../I wouldn't know, I'm just an end user that hasn't changed any of the settings of that tool.

Even if it's rare with AAC in ts, other people than me will end up with this problem too, for sure. Maybe doing it the same way as it's done with the Nero AAC encoder, that a popup informs you of a separate and manual download in some part of the configuration? At least a more informative log message would be useful, one that informs you that something needs to be installed manually, and preferably how.

[Zathor]

Ok, I will add something.

[hello_hello]

It'd be a large post, because it was a detailed feature request, so rather than copy and paste it here I'll paste a link to the feature request on SourceForge.... if anyone would care to read it, comment there or here, and/or offer further suggestions, or tell me it's a silly idea... but I think it has potential and others may come up with better ideas for implementing it, or for implementing something similar.

Its a suggestion for making it easier to add custom filters to a script via the script creator and to enable and disable them via the GUI, and a method of working around the problem of adding custom filters to a script manually, only to have MeGUI re-write the entire script if you change something in the script creator GUI.

I see it allready happend...

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=115083

[Adsmt]

Current MeGUI UI is ugly in high DPI settings in Windows 10.

Could you release a build with DPI aware?

It's quite simple, just uncomment following code in app.manifest and rebuild it.

<!--
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true</dpiAware>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
-->

[hello_hello]

Maybe there's more to it than that? I don't know for sure, but from the changelog:

2609
removed the DPI aware flag (requires Windows Vista+)
The application will now look blurry when using 150+% DPI but all controls are visible

Known Problems:
- Windows XP and older is not supported
- Unicode is not supported
- non default DPI values are not supported

[kathykit]

Totally agree from others!

Oneclick encoder problem:

DTS-HDMA to FLAC doesn't encode the lossless MA but the DTS core only (first it demuxes the DTS-HDMA, then it extracts the DTS core, then it encodes the DTS core to FLAC).

And there is no toggle switch to tell it not to extract the core.

This doesn't make any sense.

eac3to extracts the DTS-HDMA directly to FLAC.

Could you please fix this so it encodes the lossless to FLAC?

Thanks !

Hi Zathor.

Unfortunately it's the same i updated to the new MeGUI and ffmpeg 3.2

Digging on the weekend i found out, that...
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2937

Nothing is wrong with MeGUI
Only solution to use it under XP is with this ffmpeg - without Intel QSV which breaks compatibility with XP

[hello_hello]

Am I missing something? The image is displaying normally in the post for me.

[LigH]

I don't know why, maybe because you have seen it before (or you are a registered tinypic user?); for me it's always denied, like a deep-link block. May depend on the browser and its setup, who knows... the direct URL (http://i65.tinypic.com/54t736.png) is always expanded to a wrapping website (http://de.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=54t736&s=9#.WDMI9EbHbL8).

[VoodooFX]

On latest Firefox, Chrome for Windows image shows like it should be. Direct URL expands to wrapping website, only if I disable Noscript plugin. Nothing on old Opera v12.16, not even a link. I'm not registered on tinypic.

Yup, i did...
It's funny thing, both of the versions require to work ping.exe in ...\system32\

I have my windows extra tight, didn't have it, but fixed it for the test.
the newest version of LSMASHSource gives some other error in log and the old one that i downloaded from the link that You specified gives also an error but different one.
Window pop out saying that i don't have some library...

Not gonna put log of it, it's not worth while since FFMS is working.

[hello_hello]

Sorry for sidetracking the thread a bit folks, but as the topic came up and people post images here.....

I don't know why, maybe because you have seen it before (or you are a registered tinypic user?); for me it's always denied, like a deep-link block. May depend on the browser and its setup, who knows... the direct URL (http://i65.tinypic.com/54t736.png) is always expanded to a wrapping website (http://de.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=54t736&s=9#.WDMI9EbHbL8).

So far, I can repeat the following over and over using Firefox.

Load this forum page.
Click on the link in post #5207 to open it in a new tab.
Direct image loads. Click again and load in a new tab, it's always the direct image.
Switch to the tab displaying the direct image and refresh it.
The "wrapper page" loads.
Now every time I click on the link in #5207 the wrapper page opens in a new tab, until....
I refresh the doom9 page in which case clicking on the link goes back to taking me to the direct image.

Pasting the direct link into the address bar opens the the direct image until I refresh the tab after it's opened, and once I do the wrapper page also appears when pasting the direct link into the address bar....

I thought I was losing my mind at first.... if I refresh the doom9 page containing the link when I paste the direct link into the address bar it goes back to opening the image directly again, but clicking on the link in the doom9 page isn't required. Simply refreshing the doom9 page is enough.

I've gone through the above cycle something like 20 times and it's been 100% repeatable. Most fun of all, it doesn't seem to apply to images globally, but on a per image basis.

Pale Moon.... no matter what I did the direct links always opened directly to the image. No wrapper page. I disabled referrers, checked and deleted cookies... nothing made a difference.... and just as I was about to give up it occurred to me to put Pale Moon into Firefox compatibility mode (it identifies itself to sites as Firefox as well as Pale Moon).
That did it. I could repeat all the above behaviour with Pale Moon even though I don't understand any of it.

[hello_hello]

Hi

Yup, i did...
It's funny thing, both of the versions require to work ping.exe in ...\system32\

I think that was some Zathor trickery in order to display the progress window.... maybe.... I can't remember the exact reason.


the newest version of LSMASHSource gives some other error in log and the old one that i downloaded from the link that You specified gives also an error but different one.
Window pop out saying that i don't have some library...

According to Avisynth InfoTool it requires msvcr100.dll whereas the current version requires msvcr120.dll. You can put msvcr100.dll in the same folder as LSmash, but if it's in the MeGUI Lsmash folder, MeGUI might delete it each time it starts. You'd have to check.

Or install this. It's only about 5MB.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

FFMS2 does my head in because if you index with it and crop or resize too quickly in the script creator, MeGUI has a hissy fit and crashes. Lsmash doesn't have that problem.
On the other hand if you don't select any audio in the file indexer, MeGUI will tell ffms2 not to index the audio so it'll index very large files noticeably faster than LSmash, which has no such option.
On the other hand, LSmash can open MP4s without the need to index them at all.....

[Zathor]

New bug, when you add custom commands to x265 it repeats twice:
Thanks & fixed - will be in the next build

Yes, that is the reason.

[dev84]

...According to Avisynth InfoTool it requires msvcr100.dll ...

Yup thats it...

hmm so there is no "best" solution, gona stay with FFMS newer versions work and i used it only once for testing.
I encode mp4 from camera, it's XAVC video na PCM twos audio.
MeGUI needs only HalliMediaSplitter and ffdshow to do it without indexing, other mp4 files with AVC video it indexes, but not does from the camera.
I was using StaxRip but of course there are no working updates on XP and the last working didn't read twos so i had to use audacity and ac3 encoder.
What i'm trying to say is that MeGUI does it's job very nicely and I'm using almost last ffmpeg for audio... i'm happy.

Sorry for offtopic...,
do You maybe know which ac3 encoder is in 3.1.5 ffmpeg and where can i find some technical information about it?


Thx again

[hello_hello]

To the best of my knowledge, AFTEN was merged back with ffmpeg a fair while ago and no longer seems to be updated, but the extent of my knowledge ends with "it's an AC3 encoder".

The AFTEN page still works, and there's a link for it's command line options, but I don't really know anything else. I've rarely done any AC3 encoding.

@ hello_hello:

Issues with image deeplinks may rather be specific to Opera 12 (which I still prefer due to the built-in extra clients), in this case... I'll stop complaining generally, then. But may still repeat the URL occasionally, I may not be the only one using just the browser which does not support the cooperative method to retrieve them.

Regarding AC3 encoding via ffmpeg: I believe to remember too, that the encoder in ffmpeg is slightly superior to the former separate Aften builds now. It is certainly based on Aften, but I don't know either how much it was improved since. But also I do remember that some people are interested in continuing the development to E-AC3 and more than 6 channels. Not yet done, though, I hope they will be successful.

Yep, the author of Aften work in ffmpeg team and the ffmpeg versión is better than Aften, at least in:

- 2.0 Aften do some mix of channels, ffmpeg not.

- 5.1 ffmpeg now use channel coupling features, not present in Aften, to improve output.

Confirmed. Holding RMB there seems to flood the application with Windows messages which seem to make the messaging queue hurry. Someone explain why it appears to idle in normal use.

Any ideas, Zathor and others?

[hello_hello]

Sorry about the off topic post again people. It should be the last one.

Issues with image deeplinks may rather be specific to Opera 12 (which I still prefer due to the built-in extra clients), in this case... I'll stop complaining generally, then. But may still repeat the URL occasionally, I may not be the only one using just the browser which does not support the cooperative method to retrieve them.

I discovered I could prevent a TinyPic hosted image from displaying in Firefox this way.

- Open a forum page with an image such as the one in VoodooFX's post.
- Right click and select "view image". The full image displays own it's own.
- Refresh the page. It's redirected to the "sharing page" instead of the full image.
- Click back to return to the forum page. The image no longer displays.
- Refresh the page and the image returns.
- Rinse and repeat.

Well that's what was happening a little while ago, but this time the image is still displaying in the post. However the direct link keeps redirecting to the "sharing page" until the forum page is refreshed, then it goes back to being a direct link.

When Pale Moon is in Pale Moon mode, the TinyPic site obviously has no idea what browser it is, so it must run in "dumb mode" and I'm never redirected to the "sharing page". As soon as I enable Firefox compatibility mode, the behaviour for Firefox and Pale Moon become the same.

I don't understand where it's going wrong as such because I can't work out how the redirection is controlled, but I think in some circumstances a browser might load a page containing a hosted image and the request is redirected. It's the only logical explanation I have so far but if it's correct it'd mean it's happening for you every time Opera loads a page containing a TinyPic hosted image.... for reasons unknown so far.

I partly confabulated that theory by looking at the links provided by postimage.org. Their site is pretty much the same but seems to work without the redirection. They give you a link for sharing the image and reading ads if your ad blocker is disabled:
https://postimg.org/image/xda7mn7h9/
Along with a direct link that only ever opens the image directly:
https://s22.postimg.org/3ld57gko1/HS_5.jpg
All the other links they provide combine the first two in some way. For a forum thumbnail, as an example (I broke the URL and image tags deliberately):
https://s22.postimg.org/xda7mn7h9/HS_5.jpg
I suspect that's how they get around the sort of potential problem we're experiencing with TinyPic.

That's my theory and it seems logical at the moment, but it could very well be a load of bullocks. I sent the support folks at TinyPic an email asking them though, because I think I'm at the point of no return now. I need to understand. Hopefully they'll reply. I'll let you know.

[Zathor]

Any ideas, Zathor and others?
Regarding what?

[LigH]

Why holding the RMB speeds up the decoding process, or, saying it differently: Why the decoding of ZIP archives is so much "idling" when not.

Before placing these on the Project Page, I just want to make sure they don't already exist and I simply can't find them:

- In the Muxer options: I'd like a batch demuxing and batch muxing capability for each container type.

- In the One-Click: I'd like an audio option to keep the original audio.

- In the One-Click: I'd like the ability to select the indexer I prefer. Right now, when I choose a folder of MKV's having m2v codecs to batch process, the L-SMASH Works (yuck!) indexer dominates even though I have DGIndex selected as the first priority.

Out of curiosity how would batch muxing work? If you had a folder full of various files and streams, how would the batch muxing determine what gets muxed with what?
Or are you just referring to batch muxing files from one container to another, rather than individual streams?
The only GUI I can think of off the top of my head that does batch demuxing is MKVCleaver, but obviously that only helps for MKV.

- In the One-Click: I'd like an audio option to keep the original audio.

I don't know how long it's been there because I don't remember seeing it before (although I rarely use OneClick), but one of the options in the "encode" drop down list is "never". It seems you need to have "show advanced settings" enabled down the bottom of the OneClick window to see it. Or you can create a OneClick preset with "never" as the default.

Do you mean DGIndex or DGIndexNV?, because the former won't open MKVs.

[Danette]

Thanks for the rapid reaction, hello_hello (I’ve always noticed your useful recommendations on various video forums). Answering your questions:

Out of curiosity how would batch muxing work? If you had a folder full of various files and streams, how would the batch muxing determine what gets muxed with what? Or are you just referring to batch muxing files from one container to another, rather than individual streams?
The only GUI I can think of off the top of my head that does batch demuxing is MKVCleaver, but obviously that only helps for MKV.

While I developed my own ability to batch files in MKVMerge with a program called MacroXpress, it was very cumbersome. Recently, I discovered “MKVBatch” which is a front end to MKVMerge. I don’t know how their code is setup, but it performs batch merging of codec, audio and chapter files (all previously extracted) just as you’d expect. It takes all such files in a folder and correctly muxes all of them, in individual streams, in one step.

I don't know how long it's been there because I don't remember seeing it before (although I rarely use OneClick), but one of the options in the "encode" drop down list is "never". It seems you need to have "show advanced settings" enabled down the bottom of the OneClick window to see it. Or you can create a OneClick preset with "never" as the default.

Yes, I have seen that “never” option from the ‘encode’ drop-down, but had assumed that it would simply remove the audio, as opposed to a passthru, based upon the wording. You’re right: it does retain the original audio.

Do you mean DGIndex or DGIndexNV?, because the former won't open MKVs.

I do mean DGIndex, not the NV version (which I don’t own and am only interested in indexing m2v’s anyway). I was expecting that the One-Click process, as part of the batch processing, would first extract the codecs from the MKV and then index them. I didn’t think that the indexer would open/extract the MKV container. So, my thinking was that the codec is extracted and then indexed by MeGUI, but that I should be able to select which indexer MeGUI would use on the codec after the extraction.

[LigH]

I was expecting that the One-Click process, as part of the batch processing, would first extract the codecs from the MKV and then index them.

"The codec" is a piece of software, and it is not included in an MKV. A video stream in a specific video format is probably included. That may be extracted if necessary and supported.

MPEG-2 video in MKV is not supported by DGMPGDec. FFMS2 and L-SMASH Works will support it without preparing the source file. Extracting a raw video stream from an MKV container instead is a severe effort, and handling raw video formats is sometimes less reliable than using it from within a container which has additional information about the content. Raw MPEG-2 is not a big issue. But raw AVC or HEVC may lack of some important attributes (like the frame rate).

If you need the raw video stream, you can probably use the tool "HD Stream Extractor"; but this is not automated in the One Click Encoder, apparently.

[Danette]

You're right LigH, about codecs. I was thinking the coding format, not the software.

I've read, over and over, that it's better to index the raw stream rather than doing it from within the container. Are you sure about your statement to the contrary? Can you point me to supporting discussion on it? I would be very interested to read it.

I'll take a look at "HD Stream Extractor", but I have also been using MKVCleaver for years and it seems to do a pretty good job. rt

[LigH]

It depends on both the video format and the handling software.

DGMPGDec supports MPEG-2 video both raw as well as in ProgramStream (e.g. VOB files) and TransportStream (with or without TS frame timestamps, 188 or 192 bytes) containers. But not the MKV container. DGMPGDec is so old, the MKV container format was not yet common in these times.

AVC or HEVC video streams may be handled raw as well as in TS or MP4 or MKV container by some source plugins for AviSynth. But the raw video stream may not contain some attributes a video tool would usually need to know. If I remember right, raw AVC may not contain the frame rate. When it is in a container, the container will preserve it. And MeGUI will remember it as long as it is processed in a job (e.g. if x264 creates a new raw AVC video stream, MeGUI will tell the MP4 or MKV multiplexer the frame rate of the source video).

[hello_hello]

I've read, over and over, that it's better to index the raw stream rather than doing it from within the container. Are you sure about your statement to the contrary? Can you point me to supporting discussion on it? I would be very interested to read it.

I can't point you to a discussion, but about the only time I've ever indexed raw video streams would be in the case of mpeg2 in an MKV, which I'd extract first. Either that or I'd open the MKV with TSMuxer and remux the video as a TS file first (DGIndex can open them).
I don't rip DVDs with MakeMKV though, so 99.999% of the time I'd use vob files as the source. For Bluray video I've always used the HD Streams Extractor to extract the video to an MKV for re-encoding.

Given MakeMKV is commonly use for ripping DVDs these days, maybe MeGUI needs to become more clever with MKV sources containing mpeg2 video. Most Avisynth GUI's assume NTSC/PAL mpeg2 will be in a DGIndex compatible container as that's how it's traditionally been done.

Technically there's probably no reason why L-Smash or FFMS2 can't be used to index MKVs containing mpeg2 video, but currently it doesn't handle those sources in an ideal way. Info here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1788049#post1788049

2679 [Update] improved updater to download appropriate architecture packages
2678 [AviSynthProfile] added option to treat sources as anime for deinterlacing
2677 [OneClick] fixed wrong track information in some use cases
2676 [x265] fixed duplicated custom command line values (regression of 2673)
2675 improved portable AviSynth runtime handling

The updater downloads now packages based on OS/MeGUI architecture. E.g. on x64 Windows the x64 mkvmerge package will be downloaded. Also ffmpeg & lsmash should be on an XP compatible build for XP systems. During the first run of the new process several files will be downloaded/applied, even if they are already available - this is intended.
Please check if the feature works as expected.
PS: The blocking for XP was a minimal work on top. XP is still not supported, but I thought it may not harm to block new updates properly :)

[Zetti]

Is it all available x64 versions or only a few versions like MKVToolNix, FLAC, LAME, OggEnc2 etc??

[Zathor]

MeGUI x64 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153904)

It has also been updated today (link in the post is still the old one). There are however a few problems.

[hello_hello]

Please check if the feature works as expected.
PS: The blocking for XP was a minimal work on top. XP is still not supported, but I thought it may not harm to block new updates properly :)

On XP MeGUI went through a couple of update cycles, from what I could tell mostly downloading and installing the versions of tools it was currently using, except...

For the two current XP concerns, L-Smash and ffmpeg....
L-Smash was replaced with the version I was currently using which is fine because MeGUI couldn't know I'd already done so myself, but it appears ffmpeg 3.1.2 was replaced with version 3.0. The flavour I've been using recently is this one:

ffmpeg.static.2016-08-12-v3.1.2.32-bit.ffmpeg-static-xp-compatible (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpegwindowsbi/)

Thanks.

PS. Will you have read this Zathor, or would you like me to summarise it and add it as an official SourceForge bug report?

The 3.0 should be the last XP compatible build from Zeranoe. The same build has been around for some time on the dev servers for everyone so it should be "stable" so that it can be freezed forever. I do not plan to upload for XP anymore updates after that freezed state. I only want MeGUI to stay on a "working" level.

If that is not a problem for you, yes, but in this case it is not needed as I will restructure the x264 packages and will I am working on it I can also change x265 (again - I did know why I did not wanted to touch the --sar parameter)

Much thanks to you both. Because of your help, the issues in my OP have been resolved.

I have hundreds of DVD's of NTSC shows I am in the process of backing up in x264. I have used MakeMKV for years for DVD's. I extract the files (m2v, ac3, xml) from those MKV's and have always used DGIndex, along with various AVS script to address the varying issues with telecine, interlacing, etc. and then x264 them. Then I remux.

Although I was uncomfortable with your thoughts about indexing from within the MKV container (as I mentioned), LigH, I went with your reputation and decided to buy DGDecNV. I've just finished some testing with it against the older process I used and you are right: the quality and size seems to be identical. So, no more manual demuxing and muxing. I can now use MeGUI One-Click for a truly one-click procedure using only the MKV container.

I agree with you, hello_hello, that MeGUI would do well to adapt as much as possible to MKV containers (although the process I'm using going forward certainly takes care of it). DVD's still dwarf BD's in production of, at least, TV shows and MakeMKV seems to be the easiest means to simplified backup.

There is an issue I've known from using VSRip in the past. It has issues with extracting the entire vobsubs (only partial subs get extracted), when the movie vobs are not split into 1gb files but on big vob file.
It happened for me usually on feature movies (90mins+), have not encountered it for shorter videos such as tv episodes. This issue does not exist in Vobsub.

Also there seem to be an issue with the feature, megui crashed when no forced subs are found:

That follows with a freeze and crash.

VSRip is also capable of extracting Closed Captions (SRT) streams. It does however produces 4-5 different files in different text codes (UTF, unicode etc), so that can be confusing.

[Zathor]

This should fix the issues:

2689 [VobSubber] improved error handling if forced subtitles are not found (regression of 2686)
added a warning if VOB file sizes above the specification limit are used
2688 [x264] fixed incorrect command line when using a x86 OS (regression of 2681)

[LeMoi]

Thanks for the update. Where can I get it? Using the development server in MEGui settings, latest one is 2687, not 2689!

[Zathor]

You have to wait up to 6 hours (depending on your last online update check) or you can get it here:
http://megui.org/auto/megui-core-2689-32.zip

Thanks for the link!

[Zathor]

And the exact same script with the BDMV file did work yesterday? I can encode without issues, but I do not use DirectShowSource. Could you please try another input filter like FFMS or another file?

[LeMoi]

I came back to latest stable release from sf.net, and the 1st pass went fine, but I got an error on 2nd pass.
I've tried 2 files but both of them were m2ts file, i'll try another source or filter to see...

EDIT: I just ran MEGui, it asked me to update to 2689 (while I already did manually 2 hours ago), I did the update and the encode finally started! I hope this time 2nd pass won't fail...

[mini-moose]

This should fix the issues:

2689 [VobSubber] improved error handling if forced subtitles are not found (regression of 2686)
added a warning if VOB file sizes above the specification limit are used

thanks Zathor. I'm not 100% sure when the file size becomes an issue to extract full subs, it only happened to me with full length movies really.
I can try and play around with some files and see if there is a cutoff point.

It appears to be extracting forced subs vobsubs now, whether there are or aren't any (0byte .sub files). Won't that be an issue?
i.e users adding empty subs to their files. If it also extract forced subs for all additional languages there could be a lot of those.

[LigH]

MeGUI still updates a lot faster when you hold down a mouse button in the updater window while it downloads and extracts. Doesn't matter which button, left or right. And it is very obvious for extracting, but also true for downloading. Without pressing a mouse button, the updater idles a lot.

These files are already deleted. You do have the deletion of intermediate files enabled, don't you?

[mini-moose]

Thanks, that would be great
Good news. It appears I've been using v1.0.0.6 which has that bug. Was not aware there is a 1.0.0.7 beta (the one you're using) which does not. The warning can be lifted off then. Sorry for misleading.

These files are already deleted. You do have the deletion of intermediate files enabled, don't you?
I do not have that enabled in settings. I assumed it deletes stuff I may like to revisit or reuse, so I never had. For example, video only mkv/mp4 files, I may want to mux them again if I wanted to add or remove something from
the initial mux.

Trying it now, I see it does a nice cleanup. However when multi streams is enabled, all the various vobsubs outputs have the same size, which is identical to single file mode with all the streams included.

I tried a dvd with lots of lang streams. Single file for all is 25mb for .sub, split into langs, each .sub is 25mb too even though it only includes one lang. I'm guessing the pointers on .idx are just for the selected lang but the .sub
maintains the entire bitmap.

I tried a DVD with a closed captions stream in it, it seems the extraction routine goes: Demuxing closed captions -- demuxing vobsubs -- demuxing forced subs.
you end up with all the next files for the CC stream:

01_VTS_01_1.cc.raw
01_VTS_01_1.cc.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf16be.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf16le.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf8.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.raw
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf16be.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf16le.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf8.srt

That's with deletion of intermediate files enabled. I don't know if you wished to keep those or not. They can be useful, but not all of them are needed + CC never has forced subs, also extracting them adds quite a bit of time to the
process as VSRip runs the extraction process 3 times.

I did an x264 encode with the preset=slow setting. That setting now uses me=hex instead of me=umh. I think that also trellis is changed (2 - Always instead of 1 - Final MB). I just wondered why, i thought me=umh gives better quality than me=hex.

new preset slow is me=hex, trellis=2, b-adapt=1. Guess they figured it gives the same/better results. Or were "downgraded" to me=hex and b-adapt=1, cause trellis=2 slows down the encode by quite a bit.

Me again, still an error, 2nd pass didn't launch, here's the log:

Does the problem come from new x264 encoder?

[Glarioo]

new preset slow is me=hex, trellis=2, b-adapt=1. Guess they figured it gives the same/better results. Or were "downgraded" to me=hex and b-adapt=1, cause trellis=2 slows down the encode by quite a bit.

Found this on the Videohelp website.
http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/381653-x264-preset-slow-but-MediaInfo-shows-the-result-differently?mode=hybrid

There's a link to Videolan
http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264/x264-sandbox.git;a=commit;h=4e5adb87070c82b937c03e0cc030eae3578c251d

Adjust --preset slow

* Swap --me umh for --trellis 2. They have a similar effect on performance
but the latter gives slightly better results in most cases.
* Change --b-adapt from 2 to 1. Negligible difference in quality since the
b-adapt 1 improvements, but it's significantly faster.

Also remove a redundant assignment from veryfast (--me hex is set by default).

I've never done 3 passes, but shouldn't there be pass 2 first?

[LeMoi]

Indeed, I don't know why the command line shows pass3. The xml job says "<VideoEncodingType>threepass2</VideoEncodingType>", and for the 3rd pass it says "<VideoEncodingType>threepass3</VideoEncodingType>", but I don't know how the command line should look like

Try to do 2-pass instead of 3 pass and see if it works.

Also:

avs [info]: AviSynth 2.58, buildec 22 2008 [08:46:51]

why are you still using old AVS?

"--pass 3" does NOT mean 3rd pass.

"--pass 1" means "write a new stats file"
"--pass 2" means "read stats file, don't update stats file"
"--pass 3" means "read stats file, update stats file"

So if you were to do 5 passes you would do:
--pass 1
--pass 3
--pass 3
--pass 3
--pass 2

or:
--pass 1
--pass 3
--pass 3
--pass 3
--pass 3

"--pass 2" is not really needed except for debugging/review.

[mini-moose]

Thanks for the info. Good to know. so if you do 3-pass, on the 2nd pass 3 is where the actual video is being encoded?

[LigH]

No. If you do 3 passes, you will need


a first "--pass 1" to gather statistics,
a middle "--pass 3" to encode based on the first-pass statistics once and refine the statistics, and
a final pass to encode based on the refined statistics;
for the last pass, it doesn't matter much whether you prefer "--pass 3" (statistics are refined further) or "--pass 2" (statistics are not refined anymore) because you will probably delete the statistics file after the final pass created the video output. But you will keep the encoding result of this final 3rd pass.

[LeMoi]

I'm doing a clean reinstall and trying to encode with existing preset to see if the problem comes from my preset. I'm doing a 2-pass job, it's almost finished and well done.
I'll try with my own preset later and see if the problem i that my preset is not compatible with latest x264 anymore...

[mini-moose]

No. If you do 3 passes, you will need

Okay, when I installed latest stable release, it asked me to add "ConvertToYV12()" at the end of my script, which I didn't use to do before because it perfectly worked without it.
If I add this line, encode works fine, like it used to before the latest update... I don't know, maybe a change in the encoder, that used to allow scripts without ConvertToYV12() with DSS and don't anymore ?
Anyway, I think i'll have to add it every time from now to be able to encode like I used to!

[mini-moose]

Okay, when I installed latest stable release, it asked me to add "ConvertToYV12()" at the end of my script, which I didn't use to do before because it perfectly worked without it.

You mean that AVS Script Creator added that in the script tab? or how did it ask you to do that?

[LeMoi]

After I loaded the avs script, when I clicked 'queue' it asked me to convert to YUV12. It used to do so years ago but it worked fine without...

[Zathor]

Trying it now, I see it does a nice cleanup. However when multi streams is enabled, all the various vobsubs outputs have the same size, which is identical to single file mode with all the streams included.
Yes, this is intended as even when you select to have multiple files, that in the first pass only one file is created which will be splitted afterwards. Therefore all sub files have the same size. Otherwise I would have to run vsrip on each track twice (normal + forced) and that would need too much time. As a few hundred MB should not harm anyone today, this is the way to go.


I tried a DVD with a closed captions stream in it, it seems the extraction routine goes: Demuxing closed captions -- demuxing vobsubs -- demuxing forced subs.
you end up with all the next files for the CC stream:

01_VTS_01_1.cc.raw
01_VTS_01_1.cc.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf16be.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf16le.srt
01_VTS_01_1.cc.utf8.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.raw
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf16be.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf16le.srt
01_VTS_01_1_forced.cc.utf8.srt

That's with deletion of intermediate files enabled. I don't know if you wished to keep those or not. They can be useful, but not all of them are needed + CC never has forced subs, also extracting them adds quite a bit of time to the
process as VSRip runs the extraction process 3 times.
This however is not intended. It seems none of my DVDs which I have tested has CC streams. I try to find some so that this can be deleted or not created in the first case.

After I loaded the avs script, when I clicked 'queue' it asked me to convert to YUV12. It used to do so years ago but it worked fine without...
That is the problem with DirectShowSource(). What has been working yesterday may produce tomorrow other results.

[mini-moose]

This however is not intended. It seems none of my DVDs which I have tested has CC streams. I try to find some so that this can be deleted or not created in the first case.

You will need an American DVD for that, I don't think any european DVD have CC. Not all American DVD have them either.

Those are not bad files as they are SRTs. But not all of them are useful. Maybe the UTF8 one can be useful to some.

If VSRip has commandline interface you might be able to choose which of the 3 functions it has can be ran.

I assume you saw the bit about the VSRip beta fixing the large files bug.

[Zathor]

Yes, I saw your message. Could you please try this build and check if the CC streams are properly deleted (only when deletion of intermediate files is enabled):
MeGUI Test (http://megui.org/megui_test.zip)

[LigH]

Regarding the idling updater: Do (any) you have any idea how one would in general push the message queue? Possibly by regularly calling ProcessMessages() in a main loop?

[mini-moose]

That build cleans up the CC files nicely.

Could you maybe change the feature so that in "Single File Output" the Forced Subs pass does not run?
If one wants it all in one idx/sub set, there is no need for a seperate one for just forced as they are all included in the single file already.

Question:
Noticed the move to avs4x26x from avs4x264mod. Is avs4x26x superior in some way or it's mostly for being more x265 friendly?

[Zathor]

Sorry, no clue. To be honest I do not care much as it works. This for me is not a bug, it may be a feature (change) request.

Maybe, not sure about that. How much time do both passes need for you on average DVDs?

It was already for a long, long time indeed avs4x26x - I had only to change the name so that no source code change was needed. As I had to do a few changes in that area I harmonized both encoders to use the same tool.

[LigH]

And how often do I have to request this feature? ... ;)

Well, I hope, any other programmer with generic knowledge in .NET programming can suggest an improvement.

[mini-moose]

Maybe, not sure about that. How much time do both passes need for you on average DVDs?

Looking at how the files are being written it goes in this order:
1) CC normal
2) Vobsubs normal
3) CC forced
4) Vobsubs forced

*CC when present on disc, otherwise 1+3 are not running. So about x2 or x4 the time I'd say.

I'm not sure how it works from megui, but from using the standalone tool, the forced subs part is a separate function you need to check and run, CC is identified auto and checked along with reset time (can be unchecked too). From what I can see megui runs it twice?:

Reasons for my request
1) Forced subs are not needed if you do single file output.
2) I rather not use delete intermediate files by default.
3) Takes longer (not really a big issue).

2690 improved x64 build
[AviSynth] replaced Yadif by Yadifmod2

Based on the changelog a simple one, but as several internal decisions for x64/x86 had to be changed, they may also have an (unwanted) effect to x86.

If someone would like to test MeGUI x64 - it should have now nearly all functionality of MeGUI x86. More details can be found here: MeGUI x64 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153904)

EDIT: Also several plugins and packages have been updated / changed.

[Zathor]

And how often do I have to request this feature? ... ;)
Is this really a problem for you if it takes a few seconds or the double amount of a few seconds? :)

[Zathor]

Looking at how the files are being written it goes in this order:
1) CC normal
2) Vobsubs normal
3) CC forced
4) Vobsubs forced

*CC when present on disc, otherwise 1+3 are not running. So about x2 or x4 the time I'd say.

As I do not have a DVD with CC could you please try to replace the ALL in the configuration the track numbers? for that you have to uncheck the "keep all tracks" in the GUI. I would like to know if then also the CC information is demuxed.

I changed Keep All to Select. It still extracts the CC.

If you instruct me how to do the extraction with commandline I can try and play around with it. I tried following the routine on megui logfiles and some advises I found online, but to no success.

Edit: I figured out how to run it but not been able to find a setting in config file that will just run the vobsubs and skip the CC part although it's perfectly possible on vsrip gui tool.

This is a copy of the following bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/bugs/863/

The latest round of updates seem to have broken x265 encoding, maybe for x86 operating systems, or maybe just for XP. Should avs4x26x.exe be getting a mention in the command line?

One minor thing... when opening the x265 encoder configuration and clicking "load defaults" the CRF value is set to 23, but the default x265 CRF value is 28.

Thanks.

[LigH]

The latest round of updates seem to have broken x265 encoding, maybe for x86 operating systems, or maybe just for XP. Should avs4x26x.exe be getting a mention in the command line?

In case of x264, the "pipe bridge" avs4x26x used to be only required for feeding 32-bit AviSynth output to a 64-bit encoder process. If a 32-bit encoder is used, there is no need for a pipe ... but only as long as the encoder could handle AviSynth scripts on their own (via AviSynth interface or at least VfW compatibility). Unfortunately, an unmodified x265 is not able yet. It can only handle raw video or Y4M.
__

P.S.: x265 2.1+70-78e1e1354a25 (https://www.mediafire.com/file/2dkjjg82gi2t7wi/x265_2.1+70-78e1e1354a25.7z) is a "merge with stable" build; prepare for v2.2 "soon™"!

[Zathor]

Oh my, I was not aware that avs input can still not be used properly and without a 32bit OS currently I had no chance to test it. Sorry, will be fixed soon.

Zathor: As always, thank you for maintaining MeGUI :) .

I've been using the standalone 32bit MeGUI (updating from the development server) with the 64bit x264 hack for years. Unfortunately, since your recent updates I'm no longer able to replace "x264-10b_64.exe" with Komisar's modded version (kMod) by renaming it and replacing the unmodded version in "MeGUI/Tools/x264_10b". As a test, I've also tried replacing "x264-10b.exe" with the kMod version, but any encoded video still uses the unmodded version (according to MediaInfo). Please, what's the current location of the "x264-10b_64.exe" or "x264-10b.exe" that the latest updated version of 32bit MeGUI uses?

Thanks.

[hello_hello]

LouieChuckyMerry,
It appears stuff got moved around recently. Both the eight and ten bit x264 encoders now reside in "MeGUI\tools\x264". The "MeGUI\tools\x264_10b" folder can be deleted.

I had planned to do that for 2694 but because of the "emergency need" (missing blank support) I had to add the already finished vsrip changes to the repository a little bit sooner.

Thanks Zathor!
You are more than welcome!
To be honest most of the points are based upon your thoughts/recommendations :rolleyes:

Thanks a bunch for that, hello_hello, I appreciate it :) . I'm certain I would've discovered this eventually, as my next course of action was to search the entire MeGUI folder for the x264 .exe ;) .

I think I remember reading recently in this thread (or the MeGUI General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread, I can't remember), that MeGUI has changed it's use of "avs4x26x.exe" such that it no longer requires the "avs4x26xmod.exe". Am I remembering correctly? Also, would this be the reason that the 64bit version of "x264-10b.exe" ("x264-10b_64.exe") is seemingly no longer needed? Thanks in advance for any clarity.

avs4x26xmod.exe has been replaced by avs4x26x.exe, correct, but that was only a change in the name as avs4x26x.exe already had been used in the past. What you may want to know is:
- the 8-bit and 10-bit packages have been merged
- the 32bit and 64bit exe files however have been separated
- the 32bit package is downloaded and used on a 32bit OS (without avs4x26x), the 64bit package is used on 64bit OS (with avs4x26x when using the 32bit version of MeGUI, without when using the 65bit version)
==> you only have to replace the files in one directory - the x264 one

MXM2016

[Glarioo]

What is the advantage of the 64bit version version oppositte the 32bit? I've encode the same movie with both versions and the picture quality is the same. I do not see any difference. Used the same settings for x264 MKV.

[LigH]

You should certainly not expect any difference in quality.

The 64-bit CPU architecture is a bit more efficient (twice as wide and twice as many direct-access CPU registers), some encoders may work up to ~10% faster. But AviSynth used to be only available reliably in 32-bit code, and most plugins for AviSynth also existed in 32-bit code only. And you cannot call a 32-bit code DLL (like vanilla AviSynth 2.5 / 2.6) in a 64-bit code EXE. For x264 and x265, a helper application (avs4x26x) was called to pipe a stream of raw video from the AviSynth output into the encoder. If all used tools would be available in 64-bit code, making them work together would be easier and more efficient - thus faster. Now with the development of AviSynth+, chances are good that this will happen for MeGUI, as it already happened for StaxRip.

[nandoom]

Hello,

After looking up online, I came to know that PAL video is actually shot with 24fps but PAL DVDs made have 25fps with a pitched audio. I wonder a feature could be added in MeGUI to be able to encode PAL DVD video with 24fps with audio and subs sync accordingly.

Thanks

[LigH]

You cannot generalize this for every PAL production. "PAL speedup" happens often for original cinematic "film" material. But native PAL productions do exist as well.

Matching subtitle timecodes to the inverse (PAL/Film slowdown) is quite easily possible. But converting the audio will reduce the quality once more. Some people try to mix the video with NTSC audio tracks, but that may fail if you have different cutting in each production.

Thanks for your explanation.
About StaxRip, it seems that it is possible that Stax76 may terminate the development of StaxRip.

If it was filmed in a PAL country it could very well have been shot at 25fps.

As far as converting to 24fps though, for the video you can add AssumeFPS(24,1) to the end of the script MeGUI creates before encoding, or AssumeFPS(24000,1001) for 23.976fps, and the audio encoder configurations already have PAL/Film/NTSC conversion options (under Time Modification).

There's probably a way to change the frame rate of subtitles with some utility or another, although as I have no particular need for subtitles as a rule, if I'm changing the frame rate I don't bother with the extra work to keep them so I don't actually know. I guess any chapters would need adjusting too.

Hey,

will MeGUI ever support Vapoursynth....i know this would mean virtually a rewrite of the program, but Avisynth seems a redundant method now (multi-threading), i mean it's an obsolete and archaic system (please don't assassinate me for saying that).

But I've seen VapourSynth in action with Staxrip, for multi-threading, it really is incredible and very hands off for. And seems very thread safe compared to Avisynth.

[mini-moose]

Process exits with error: 0xE06D7363 (-529697949). Something similar occurs with the development version (with the same source file, not all files).

--[Information] [27-Dec-16 15:11:14] MeGUI: 2624

Not sure if that helps, but isn't version 2624 really old? MeGUI is currently at 2695. Maybe there were fixes for your problem since.

Actually, the latest stable version is indeed 2624 but as mentioned I've also tried the development version (currently 2679 I think).

[EuropeanMan]

trying to update to 2679 isn't working for me :(
keeps saying CORE: CANNOT CREATE A FILE WHEN THAT FILE ALREADY EXISTS


please help

[Zathor]

I do not have this problem, however extract this into your MeGUI directory: http://megui.org/auto/megui-core-2696-32.zip

[EuropeanMan]

I somehow managed to scrounge together 2696 onto my laptop...then switched back to stable server...otherwise, it keeps trying to update 5 things which just aren't happening for whatever reason. i THINK the problem is on my laptop, which doesn't allow megui to write over the file...it's a permissions thing I guess??? and i'm not too windows 7 savvy to figure out how to fix that...heck, for the last 4 hours i've been googling on how i could save files onto my desktop...then changing permissions on folders :( currently encoding that small file we talked about on the other thread...almost done.

[EuropeanMan]

Megui 2696 and I guess prior versions that I had from 2624 onwards

Yes, it's been more than a year and a half that I hadn't used this program. In the past, build 2525 was the last one I had used on an old laptop, whose HD is now an external HD on my current laptop which is hosting the 2696 build...and on 2525, when you encoded an XVID file, it was two passes/jobs...and it was done.

NOW I realise on both 2624, & 2696, that encoding the same takes 3 jobs??? the last being a muxing job by a process called ffmpeg. This last job I stalled/postponed. So after the first two jobs are complete, I have a file with an extension .m4v

This plays fine in VLC...no problems. In MediaINFO, it doesn't show the bitrate at all

https://i.imgsafe.org/c1aa301fc8.png

Also, I'm unsure as to why it STILL shows the Xvid Writing Library as 67???!!!

here is that file: https://www.sendspace.com/file/84ab3e

Now, once I begin the 3rd job...the MUXING section of the encode, it gets screwed up in playback!!! I'm truly frustrated

https://i.imgsafe.org/c1bc572d93.png

and here's the file: https://www.sendspace.com/file/51xxue
Lastly, it shows the bitrate as 143, when it was preset to 1999!!!


Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.

PLEASE HELP ME :( THANKS in advance

[EuropeanMan]

Since I've figured out on my 64bit Win7 laptop, that the culprit is INDEED the latest ffmpeg tool, I replaced it with the one from my 2525 build, and now the result is perfect.

Can someone please explain WHY this works? Please note, and I don't know if the current ffmpeg is written for a 64bit computer, that the 32bit ffmpeg from the 2525 build works!!!

here is that build: https://www.sendspace.com/file/qyadpm
the version that did NOT work for me: ffmpeg-3.2.2-64.7z

I also still don't know why it states in MediaINFO that the writing library for XviD is still 67

I do rgb encodes with x264. Now I can't do it with megui because of this change and avs4x26x doesn't support rgb.
2681 [x264] removed option to select 32bit x264 on a 64bit OS and merged the 8- and 10-bit packages

Can you restore x264 32bit support back?

Is changelog working with 2696 btw?

[LigH]

What is an "RGB encode"? Do you create an AviSynth script which outputs RGB24, so that x264 has to convert it to YUV internally to be able to encode it at all?

[bxyhxyh]

Do you create an Avisynth script which outputs RGB24
Yes.
And with --input-csp rgb --output-csp rgb options, it works without converting it.
But avs4x26x doesn't support it, so it converts it to YUV, makes end result wrong.
With older versions, I just unchecked x64 support. It feeds to x264 32bit directly.

[mini-moose]

With the current versions, it's only possible to create .d2v using pgcdemux to extract files from a DVD first (when an ifo is present).

I usually extract the vobs myself before (to vob+ifo with only what I needed from the VTS).

I'ts not possible anymore to load the vob I pre-extracted and d2v it. Megui load the ifo and tries to extract a new vobs set even if I selected the vob and not the ifo. That fails with my old routine as the ifo contains all the VTS info but not all its parts.

[Zathor]

Small update:

2699 [VobSubber] added option to extract forced subtitles in dedicated file(s)
[OneClick] fixed wrong assignment of automatically detected forced IDX/SUB subtitles (regression of 2686)
2696 runtime files will always be copied

[Zathor]

With the current versions, it's only possible to create .d2v using pgcdemux to extract files from a DVD first (when an ifo is present).
No, pgcdemux will only be used when either a multi-pgc or multi-angle structure is found in the IFO of the corresponding VOB files. This is necessary to avoid a/v/s sync issues or unwanted content.

I usually extract the vobs myself before (to vob+ifo with only what I needed from the VTS).
How do you do that? If you tool also adjusts the IFO file everything is fine, if it is a 1:1 copy (waht I assume based on your description below), it must of course fail.

Remove/rename the IFO, then the PGC/Angle (and also language) information is not available anymore - or adjust your ripping process :)

But avs4x26x doesn't support it, so it converts it to YUV, makes end result wrong.
With older versions, I just unchecked x64 support. It feeds to x264 32bit directly.

There are at least two options what you can do/try:
- raise a feature request towards avs4x26x to support RGB
- use the MeGUI x64 build (or a 32bit OS) as in that case no avs4x26x is used

I will think about an option to disable all 64 bit packages on 64bit OS with MeGUI 32bit. Only to do that for x264 would make no sense as then once again a special handling for one package only would be added.

I know very little about the DVD structure but it appears to me pcgdemux is used somewhat more enthusiastically than that. It's definitely being told to extract the video from the vob files in this case.

I ripped the DVD with DVDShrink in Re-Author mode by dragging just the movie title to DVDShrink's left pane and using the backup function. That's how I've being ripping for years.

I let DVDShrink rip the DVD as a single large vob file rather than splitting it. I don't think that makes a difference but I'll try another DVD. The one above didn't have subtitles so I'll rip one that does, then I can return later and complain about the subtitle handling in an accurate way. ;)

Thanks.

[Zathor]

I know very little about the DVD structure but it appears to me pcgdemux is used somewhat more enthusiastically than that. It's definitely being told to extract the video from the vob files in this case.

Yes, my bad. In the FileIndexer it uses pgcdemux when the pgc count is > 0 (so for all DVD sources - should have been > 1). OneClick does it correct and that is the tool I always use for my use daily use cases so this went unnoticed by me. Thank you very much for pointing this out with the log.

Update will be available shortly (2700 :D)

EDIT: 2700 is online

[mini-moose]

No, pgcdemux will only be used when either a multi-pgc or multi-angle structure is found in the IFO of the corresponding VOB files. This is necessary to avoid a/v/s sync issues or unwanted content.
A lot of VTS sets have extra 0:00 PGCs in addition to the main feature, e.g:

VTS_01 PGC 01 - 01:32:12.010 - (19 chapters)
VTS_01 PGC 02 - 00:00:00.500 - (1 chapters)
VTS_01 PGC 03 - 00:00:00.500 - (1 chapters)
VTS_01 PGC 04 - 00:00:15.500 - (4 chapters)
last one here has 100ms of what appears to be spanish dub credits. I also do it when there are multiple videos on the same VTS.
I can do the same using pgcdemux, but I'm used to do it on my own I guess :) with the older versions I could just load the vob and index it, now it will load the ifo and try to resplit it.

How do you do that? If you tool also adjusts the IFO file everything is fine, if it is a 1:1 copy (waht I assume based on your description below), it must of course fail.
Good ole dvddecrypter does it for example.

Remove/rename the IFO, then the PGC/Angle (and also language) information is not available anymore - or adjust your ripping process :)
Yeah, I know I can do that though it's a bit of a pain as I still need the ifo for extracting the subs.
I can change my routine but you get used to certain ones.

[Zathor]

A lot of VTS sets have extra 0:00 PGCs in addition to the main feature, e.g:

VTS_01 PGC 01 - 01:32:12.010 - (19 chapters)

VTS_01 PGC 03 - 00:00:00.500 - (1 chapters)
VTS_01 PGC 04 - 00:00:15.500 - (4 chapters)
In some cases it may also be the other way around and the main movie is in the middle or end. Also series are often in multi-pgcs on the discs.

Sadly there is no way to detect if the source has already been preprocessed in a not correct way. If it would have been correctly processed the IFO should not contain more than one PGC or only the tracks which are really available in the VOBs.

EDIT: While thinking about it... I may disable the PGC/Angle detection if VOB files > 1024 MB are found. Would that help?

[mini-moose]

Not sure about that. I believe the IFO itself doesn't get re-authored, so it will still have all the PGCs info on it.
The pgcdemux routine doesn't extract an ifo to the working directory so I can't say if pgcedit does it differently.

Part of reason of doing it like I do, is so I can sort it into a working dir/s, and then I can do the indexing and sub extracting all from there. While if I extract it with pgcdemux, I would have to go back to source files to reload the ifo to extract the subs. It can also be a pain if source is on an iso, as the default working path is same as source files.

I've tested with OCE now. It seems to be able to do all those functions at once. But only added the first 2 subs to the mux. I assume it's cause my setup is defaults to English and therefore the English subs were added?
If I want all of them I need to manually add any others. I don't always mux the subs into the container either, and that seems unavoidable with OCE if I want the subs extracted.


EDIT: While thinking about it... I may disable the PGC/Angle detection if VOB files > 1024 MB are found. Would that help?
I suppose it can make it easier for me. I output the vobs to one big file rather than multiple 1024mb files (others might do it differently though). Of course with mutlti angle/video/episodes, they could be under 1024mb too.

[Zathor]

One-Click encoder seems to be able to do all those functions at once. But only adds the first 2 subs to the mux. If I want all of them I need to manually add any others.

For me it adds all the subs for the languages I have enabled in the OneClick profile. Can you reproduce that and give me more information about your source & OneClick configuration?

I don't always mux the subs into the container either and that seems unavoidable with One-Click.
Maybe I do not get the point, but you can create also a configuration where no subtitle tracks are added at all. Also you can manually remove any subtitles you do not want (right click on the tab header).

Maybe I do not get the point, but you can create also a configuration where no subtitle tracks are added at all. Also you can manually remove any subtitles you do not want (right click on the tab header).

Sorry if I'm being confusing. I often post and then edit while you might be looking at the unedited post :s
I've not used OCE for subextracting before so I might need to tweak profiles I did use. I did realize after posting that I can set to none.

The point is, that if I want the subs to be extracted in OCE, I would have to set them to be muxed. So it's either:

1) File indexer (load source ifo-->pgcdemux-->indexing), then go back to source, load ifo again and run vobsubber.

2) Use OCE to do all the above in one go but will have to mux the subs.

2699 [VobSubber] added option to extract forced subtitles in dedicated file(s)
Thanks for that one, Zathor!

[hello_hello]

When I ripped the folowing DVD a week ago and extracted the subtitles, MeGUI extracted them three times. Today it's only extracting them twice (I guess the subtitle handling has changed a little with version 2699), unless I check the "extract forced subtitles separately" option in Vobsubber, in which case I end up with the same files as before.

Test_VTS_01_1.idx
Test_VTS_01_1.sub
Test_VTS_01_1_0_English.idx
Test_VTS_01_1_0_English.sub
Test_VTS_01_1_forced.idx
Test_VTS_01_1_forced.sub

The first and second pair appear to be identical copies, while the "forced" subtitles are empty ("Test_VTS_01_1_forced.sub" is zero bytes in size). Vobsubber only shows a single subtitle stream. Is extracting it twice necessary and is there a way for MeGUI to check if forced subtitles exist before attempting to extract them?

The next problem is not MeGUI's fault as it happens when I extract the subtitles with vsrip myself, but after extracting them from the extras on the DVD I used for testing, they look like this. I re-authored a single DVD extra with DVDShrink so there's just a couple of ifo files and a vob file in the folder.

https://s27.postimg.org/prv5gta43/subs1.gif

The video itself is less than twelve minutes long. When I convert it to an MKV with Handbrake and get Handbrake to mux the subtitles into an MKV, they look like this after I extract them:

https://s27.postimg.org/mjqo3rnub/subs2.gif

Which is correct. Subtitle Edit also rips them correctly from the ifo file. The only clue I have so far is MPC-HC displays 20 minutes as the duration of the video when opening the ifo or vob file, when it should be about twelve.
MPC-BE and VLC both display the correct duration when opening the ifo file, but they both display a 20 min duration when opening the vob file. Logically it appears the subtitle timing must be stored in two places and in this case one them is wrong, but does anyone know how I can investigate this further, or should I just file it under "one of those things"?

Thanks.

When I ripped this DVD a week ago and extracted the subtitles, MeGUI extracted them three times. Today it's only extracting them twice (I guess the subtitle handling has changed a little), unless I check the "extract forced subtitles separately" option in the file indexer, in which case I end up with the following files:

Toast1_VTS_01_1.idx
Toast1_VTS_01_1.sub
Toast1_VTS_01_1_0_English.idx
Toast1_VTS_01_1_0_English.sub
Toast1_VTS_01_1_forced.idx
Toast1_VTS_01_1_forced.sub

The first and second pair appear to be identical copies, while the "forced" subtitles are empty. The file indexer only shows a single subtitle stream but I don't know if extracting them twice is necessary.

MeGUI runs vsrip at maximum twice. Once for the normal extraction and once for the forced subtitle extraction which you now have to enable in VobSubber manually.

As you do not have enabled the "single output file" option, the files Toast1_VTS_01_1.* are not needed. I assume they have not been deleted as you have not enabled the option to remove intermediate files, correct?

There are no forced subtitles in the DVD in question. Is there any way for MeGUI to check if they exist before attempting to extract them?
No, I have to use vsrip for that. Could you please share the files with me so that I can check why they are shown? If they are empty (= no timestamps) MeGUI should delete them.

You must have not chosen the correct PGC when you ran VSRip on your own. Judging by the 12mins start timecode, it appears you may have used the "play all" pgc, which led to your subs starting in the wrong time.

The video itself is less than twelve minutes long. When I convert it to an MKV with Handbrake and get Handbrake to mux the subtitles into an MKV, they look like this after I extract them:

There might be some 15milisecond chapter at the end of the vob, I'm not entirely sure what those are for but they are very common. They could sometimes cause the video to appear longer than it is.
If you play it though with mpc, what happens after 12mins? does it keep playing or stops?

MeGUI gives it the following file name:

Test - [0] English.ac3

Is the number in the name [0] supposed to indicate the number of the audio stream in the MKV?
When I extract audio from an MKV with 2 audio streams, the file indexer shows them as stream numbers 2 and 3, but they're extracted as streams 0 and 1. Is that expected behaviour?

Cheers.

[hello_hello]

You must have not chosen the correct PGC when you ran VSRip on your own. Judging by the 12mins start timecode, it appears you may have used the "play all" pgc, which led to your subs starting in the wrong time.

After I re-authored with DVDShrink there was definitely only one PGC.

There might be some 15milisecond chapter at the end of the vob, I'm not entirely sure what those are for but they are very common. They could sometimes cause the video to appear longer than it is.
If you play it though with mpc, what happens after 12mins? does it keep playing or stops?

The video is exactly 12 minutes and 13 seconds long (I opened it with DGIndex to check) and the last chapter is at 00:12:12.520. Aside from being annoying, that's not caused a playback problem before.
When playing the vob file with MPC-HC it jumps straight from 12 minutes 13 seconds to the "end" at about the 20 minute mark.

[Zathor]

The point is, that if I want the subs to be extracted in OCE, I would have to set them to be muxed. So it's either:

1) File indexer (load source ifo-->pgcdemux-->indexing), then go back to source, load ifo again and run vobsubber.

2) Use OCE to do all the above in one go but will have to mux the subs.
Sorry, I still do not get it :confused: Why do you have to mux the subtitles manually in 2)? They will be automatically muxed by OCE into the output file. Please explain in more detail what 2) is about.

[0] is the track number. Depending on the tool it may be the overall track number (then usually video comes first, then audio then subtitles) or the number of the individual type only (e.g. audio) - also it can happen that the index starts at 0 or 1.
So yes, this is expected and should not cause any issues.

[Zathor]

After I re-authored with DVDShrink there was definitely only one PGC.

Out of interest could you try it please directly with the DVD source (not shrinked, remuxed, stripped, ...)? I would like to know if then the same (wrong) timestamps will appear.

I don't want to mux them (at least not always).
What I meant is if I want to do the indexing and subextracting in one go, I could then use OCE, but in order to extract them with it, they must be set to be muxed.

Many thanks for your patience. I'm just used to my old routine. It's possible I'm the only one bothered with those changes.

As you do not have enabled the "single output file" option, the files Toast1_VTS_01_1.* are not needed. I assume they have not been deleted as you have not enabled the option to remove intermediate files, correct?

Yes, the option is disabled. It's not possible to extract them with the correct name in the first place and avoid the intermediate copy? It's no big deal. I just wondered why it was happening.

No, I have to use vsrip for that. Could you please share the files with me so that I can check why they are shown? If they are empty (= no timestamps) MeGUI should delete them.

I'll have to do it a bit later (the real world calls) but did you want the extracted idx/sub files or the original ifo/vob files?

They certainly appear to be empty. I opened the extracted idx file with subresync and it didn't display anything. When I open the original ifo/vob files with Subtitle Edit, the option to only show forced subtitles is unavailable, so it doesn't think there are any.

Actually, looking at the log file again, MeGUI agrees, but they're not being deleted. Are the empty forced subtitles counted as intermediate files?

I don't love deleting working files either, as I believe this also deletes video-only encoded files (the video.mkv/mp4 that was encoded and then muxed). Sometimes one would want to remux for some reason but files are gone.

They certainly appear to be empty. I opened the extracted idx file with subresync and it didn't display anything. When I open the original ifo/vob files with Subtitle Edit, the option to only show forced subtitles is unavailable, so it doesn't think there are any.

Actually, looking at the log file again, MeGUI agrees, but they're not being deleted. Are the empty forced subtitles counted as intermediate files?

Empty subs are deleted for me.
Keep in mind that Forced subs could be for any of the languages. It might appear empty when you view the first stream on idx, but there could be forced for another language.

[hello_hello]

This is where my understand of the DVD structure is lacking. In re-author mode DVDShrink just displays title numbers, as does MPC-HC when View/Information is enabled. That's how I know which titles to re-author, by playing each episode with MPC-HC and noting the title numbers. How does everybody else do it, if they want to rip just a single episode, for example?

Anyway, I was able to find the correct PCG due to it's duration (DVDShrink and MPC-HC display it as Title 27). I ripped the subtitles directly from the disc with MeGUI, Unfortunately the timings were still wrong, but it must be something peculiar to this DVD. I don't think I've ever had this problem before.

Zathor, I'm trying File Indexer with pgcdemux now.

Couple of questions:

1) It doesn't extract the chapters (another thing I always do with pre-extracting vobs on my own). The chapters are extracted on OCE though.

2) There is an option with DGIndex to choose which audios to keep, but it's greyed out (I think it's been like that for a long time?) :

https://s23.postimg.org/899ffb20b/pgc.png

From what I can see, if I want to include all subs I need to add all the languages on the langs menu?

Yes, now the File Indexer is PGC aware, it'd be nice if it could be configured to extract all the required streams. Although as it uses DGIndex to extract the audio and index, I don't know how hard it'd be to implement.

2) There is an option with DGIndex to choose which audios to keep, but it's greyed out (I think it's been like that for a long time?) :

It's been greyed out for quite a while. I've wondered about that myself, but because I only ever keep the required audio streams when ripping/re-authoring, I generally don't need to select specific ones, so I've kept forgetting to mention it.

[Zathor]

Thanks, uploaded

What I meant is if I want to do the indexing and subextracting in one go, I could then use OCE, but in order to extract them with it, they must be set to be muxed.
Ah, so you area searching for a way to only extract with OCE. Yes, this is not directly possible. As you mentioned you have to create a profile where video encoding is disabled & all audio processing is set to "never encode". That way everything will be extracted and muxed again - if you do not run the mux steps you have your extracted files.

Yes, the option is disabled. It's not possible to extract them with the correct name in the first place and avoid the intermediate copy?
If you have selected to use independent files for each track: no


I'll have to do it a bit later (the real world calls) but did you want the extracted idx/sub files or the original ifo/vob files? They certainly appear to be empty. I opened the extracted idx file with subresync and it didn't display anything.

Correct, so I do not need the files anymore.

1) It doesn't extract the chapters (another thing I always do with pre-extracting vobs on my own). The chapters are extracted on OCE though.
Correct, you have to use either OCE or the ChapterCreator for that. The FileIndexer is not a "demux everything tool".

2) There is an option with DGIndex to choose which audios to keep, but it's greyed out (I think it's been like that for a long time?) :
Thanks, was a regression of a recent change. Will be changed in 2701.

OCE and subs:
You said I can add edit a profile to include more/all subs.
From what I can see, if I want to include all subs I need to add all the languages on the langs menu?
Yes, or no selection at all (no entry, no even [none]) and then the option "languages to select if selection does not match" to all. But yes, an [all] option would make more sense.

Exactly.

Tried OCE with encode phases disabled. Sadly, it won't work for what I wanted.

Yeah it turned out to be caused by the qpfile error. I thought the first pass had run though and there was a problem with the second pass and it didn't appear to be related to the qpfile problem. I guess I was wrong about that.

Thanks.

Taking a look at the "Add pre-rendering job", it looks like ffmpeg is running the huffyuv encode in the same thread as Avisynth. (opening in process explorer, I don't see anything that looks like a separate thread.) Since Avisynth is single-thread limited, can the encode be split out into its own thread?

[LigH]

Only if ffmpeg can create separate threads for reading the input and encoding it. AviSynth will then be used by ffmpeg, not by MeGUI.

The ffmpeg option "-threads auto" should enable multithreading in general.

Just looked at the command line and it's set to -threads 0, which I take it should do it. So I guess it's unsupported?

Avisource, directshowsource and dss2 should load almost instantly.

Yeah.... if you're referring to loading them into the video section and adding them to the job queue. At one stage Zathor removed some of the checking MeGUI does (I believe) and it became faster, but for some reason it appears to be getting progressively slower again, especially when there's slow filtering such as QTGMC in a script, and for whatever reason it seems to be slower when L-Smash is used for indexing than when ffms2 is used, which is kind of annoying given ffms2 and the script creator don't play nice together. Six or seven seconds is probably longer then the delay I experience, but it'd be several seconds.... however many that is. ;)

A couple of times I've loaded a script into the video section and clicked the Queue button before MeGUI had finished whatever checking it does, and ended up with the previous script added to the job queue only with the name of the current script as the output file.... or something like that.... but I learned to be a bit more patient after that did my head in.

[LigH]

The index files are in different formats, I believe (one binary, one in plain text), thus have different sizes. Also don't forget, one of them may only index audio streams when audio is indexed first, the other instead may always; but I can't keep in mind which does what.

[hello_hello]

MeGUI tells ffms2 to only index the video when there's no audio selected in the file indexer or when the audio is being extracted. L-Smash has no such option and always indexes each stream.

The same type of thing has happened to me in the past, so I was forced to learn (at least a bit of) patience. Thanks MeGUI!

[kalehrl]

The biggest "freezes" are when saving avisynth scripts and queueing video files to be encoded.

[StainlessS]

So long as AVS files exist, and nothing special is required in MeGUI, could try MeGUI AutoEncode Batcher,
just select a bunch of existing avs in FileSelector, click OK button and go to the pub, no patience required (unless you order Guiness).

here:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163343&highlight=Megui+autoencode+Batcher

EDIT: In avs scripts, can use eg RT_Stats RT_SignalDar(4.0/3.0) or RT_SignalDar2(16,9) to auto set
Display aspect Ratio in avs and pass it on to MeGUI without having to set manually in MeGUI.

EDIT: From RT_Stats Docs

RT_SignalDAR2(int darx,int dary)
As for RT_SignalDAR() except it allows setting of numerator and denominator individually.
Signal DAR to MEGUI. Sets Global vars MeGUI_darX and MeGUI_darY which are read during MEGUI loading of AVS file.

[Zathor]

MeGUI has to check the AVS file and has therefore to open it in several internal steps. If you have a script which need a long time for that, you will have those delays.

[kalehrl]

There aren't any heavy filters, just source, resize, minimal noise denoise.
I remember MeGUI being faster in the recent past.

[LigH]

Well possible that MeGUI now ships more (and more complex) plugins which are scanned for functions each time a script is opened (and if your AV guard is active, it may scan their DLLs as well)...

[hello_hello]

(MeGUI 2702)
I disabled my Avisynth auto-loading plugin folder and indexed a 720p video twice (1280x536). Nothing fancy. Something I encoded myself with the x264 Slow preset and Tune Film.

Script one:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll")
LWLibavVideoSource("D:\Video.mkv.lwi")

Script two:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("E:\video.mkv", cachefile="D:\video.mkv.ffindex", fpsnum=24000, fpsden=1001, threads=1)

I didn't time it exactly..... 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi..... but the first script takes around three seconds to load into the video section (preview disabled) and it's repeatable. That's the time from double clicking on the script after opening the "Open Avisynth Script" window, to the cursor changing from busy back to a pointy thing. During that time Task Manager said MeGUI's memory usage went from just under 50000k to about 75000k and back (I'd been running some encodes, but they'd finished). CPU usage hits 25%, so I guess that's a single core of my old Q9450 working hard.

Script 2 takes CPU usage to 6%, if memory usage increases it decreases again too quickly for the human eye, and it loads too fast for me to time.

So at least I wasn't imagining the L-Smash thing, which gets noticeably worse with fancy Avisynth filtering, but maybe someone else who isn't running XP and the last XP friendly version of L-Smash can try the same thing to see if the result is similar. If it is, I don't know if MeGUI or L-Smash would be to blame. I'd assume the latter, but what do I know....

Edit: I enabled the auto preview when loading scripts and tried again. Around 5 seconds for the preview to display after loading the first script, and something approaching one second for the second script.

And one last look-see, a quick encode of the first 10000 frames using each script.

Script 1:
[Information] [08/02/17 9:02:13 PM] encoded 10000 frames, 40.57 fps, 1934.23 kb/s

Script 2:
[Information] [08/02/17 9:07:29 PM] encoded 10000 frames, 41.01 fps, 1934.23 kb/s

So it's possibly not a decoding speed issue, although I think it is time for a faster computer. Hurry up AMD, I want to see what Zen is like first.

[Zathor]

Do you have the same loading times with these scripts in e.g. VirtualDub?

[hello_hello]

I can't check that properly today as I'm in the middle of a run of encodes, but I'll test and report back tomorrow(ish),

[hello_hello]

Do you have the same loading times with these scripts in e.g. VirtualDub?

I guess nobody wants to test a newer L-Smash, but yes..... it's slower loading a script using LWLibavVideoSource with VirtualDub than with FFVideoSource. Maybe not quite as much difference in speed, but I assume VirtualDub doesn't have any checking to do.

[nandoom]

Forgive me if this has been answered before. I wonder if it is possible to add AvsP plugin in MeGUI so one can able to edit an avs? I think this will be an awesome addition.

Thanks

[hello_hello]

Forgive me if this has been answered before. I wonder if it is possible to add AvsP plugin in MeGUI so one can able to edit an avs? I think this will be an awesome addition.

What about copying and pasting the script into MeGUI's script creator?
You'll have to specify the input video first, but you can use Lsmash and DGindex index files for the input video, or ffms2 index files if they're in the same folder as the source, so you don't have to index again, and once the video has opened you can copy and paste the rest of the script into the script creator to edit it.

Another method is to load the script into the video section and open the preview. Edit the script with Notepad, save the changes, and click the reload button at the bottom of the preview window to see them. You can keep Notepad and the preview open as you do it. No need to close either till you're done.

[nandoom]

Yes, those are the ways that I know to edit an avs file. However it requires you to manually edit ( not bad thing at all ) and you got to know the right text for any new arguments you might want to add. The script creator doesn't populate the script parameters in the respective tabs after pasting the script. The AvsP offers more controls, options, tools. So I just thought the AvsP integration would be an awesome feature to add on. I understand that it's easier to say than done. Of course, the developers would better and would know the feasibility of the integration. So I thought to ask away.

[hello_hello]

MeGUI 2706 is still displaying incorrect resizing in the script creator when anamorphic encoding is enabled.

- Open a 4:3 PAL DVD, Input DAR 4:3.
- Without cropping or resizing enabled, the resize section displays 720x576.
- Enable cropping and crop 20 pixels from both left and right, and 16 pixels from both top and bottom.
- The remaining video is 680x544
- Enable anamorphic encoding, and select "encode non-mod16" (silly name). The resizing now displays 640x512. It's not being added to the script incorrectly though.
- The "resize to selected mod" option at least lets you resize it back to 680x544, and the resizing doesn't change to red until it exceeds 680x544, so that's okay.

Oddly, if the "resize to selected mod" option is selected, and you switch to "encode non-mod16", the width in the resizing field very briefly displays 680, before it changes back to 640 again.

[Sharc]

Never mind, I am just occasionally asking myself: Is it really more difficult to understand resizing basics and do the resizing manually, writing your own simple script, or try to understand, hangle through and trust all the tickboxes, tabs, options and windows of advanced GUIs ..... rant closed :devil:

I find it is, especially if you're encoding a bunch of related videos with different cropping required, but you want them all cropped neatly and resized to the same resolution and/or aspect ratio.
Often I'll crop a section of a video differently, and the aspect error calculator makes it easy to crop cleanly and resize to the same resolution as the rest of the video.

Plus.... for an anamorphic output, even if you don't resize, if you want exactly 4:3 or 16:9 you can switch to square pixel resizing, crop and resize to exactly 4:3 or 16:9, then switch to anamorphic encoding and you'll know the cropping is correct to still give you a 4:3 or 16:9 output. Saves having to do pixel aspect ratio calculations.
It's also easy to create custom input display aspect ratios and when you change the input DAR, all the usual calculations are based on that.

Having said all that, I recently created an Avisynth script function (my first) for auto-cropping and resizing based on the cleverness AutoGK was endowed with, only allowing full user control over the output aspect ratio. It not overly complicated and seems to work as intended so far.
CropResize Script (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/382601-CropResize-Script)

MeGUI's cropping and resizing is working fine, but for some reason when resizing is disabled it displays an incorrect post cropping resolution in the resize fields when anamorphic encoding without resizing is enabled.

[hello_hello]

Someone found a bug in the latest flac. https://sourceforge.net/p/flac/bugs/453/

In case it'd be an idea to update MeGUI's version, there's a patch on the above sourceforge page, or there's a patched exe in the Foobar2000 Encoder Pack 2017-02-13.
http://www.foobar2000.org/encoderpack

[hello_hello]

There appears to be an odd encoding speed bug when encoding audio with the FDKAAC encoder. I haven't been able to find the cause as yet, but the details are in the post linked to below. I strongly suspect it's something to do with the encoder not handling 32 bit input well. So far, if I add ConvertAudioTo32bit() to the script and open it with foobar2000, FDKAAC encoding speed drops dramatically, but QAAC still encodes at the normal speed.

I'm not sure if the same applies to 32 bit float though because the foobar2000 AVS input plugin doesn't seem to accept it, but if I remember correctly, FDKAAC downsamples to 16 bit before encoding, in which case it'd probably be an idea to convert the audio to 16 bit for FDKAAC encoding anyway.

[dissory]

I've been using MeGUI and found the one-click profile really helpful. One thing I noticed was that when transcoding audio e.g. FLAC -> AAC within video files, it doesn't retain attributes such as audio title name or language in the new video file with the transcoded audio. I'm not sure if the same happens with video but it does with audio.

Is it possible to make it so the attributes/metadata of the original audio stream are also transferred to the transcoded stream?

@Zathor

Is this something possible by MeGUI?

[LigH]

This would probably require

a) a common way for many audio formats to read out such metadata in a similar way (does MediaInfo support that?);
b) support of the target container to store such metadata per stream; MeGUI is mainly a converter for media formats containing video, using container formats to keep sync with audio.

IMHO: If you want to convert audio only, without related video stream, an audio-only converter like BeHappy (based on the same AviSynth engine as MeGUI) would be the better tool to possibly create metadata in a target audio-only format.

[tebasuna51]

IMHO: If you want to convert audio only, without related video stream, an audio-only converter like BeHappy (based on the same AviSynth engine as MeGUI) would be the better tool to possibly create metadata in a target audio-only format.

BeHappy, or Audio section in MeGUI, can't do the job because AviSynth audio decoders ignore any metadata tag's in audio source.
I recommend Foobar2000 to transcode audio only preserving tag's.

Other cuestion is track attributes, like title and languaje, than can be stored in mkv container.
Then, maybe, a one-click recode from mkv to mkv can read title and languaje with MediaInfo and restore the values in MkvMerge last pass.

[LigH]

AviSynth alone may ignore such metadata; but I wonder if it could be read by the calling application using a MediaInfo DLL, and then added to the CLI encoder's parameter set.

[tebasuna51]

Maybe MeGUI, not BeHappy because don't use MediaInfo at all.

BTW is a hard job know all metadata tag's than each audio code can support at input source (and what are reported by MediaInfo), and how convert to metadata tag's supported by output code.
This job is already done in Foobar2000, lets MeGUI for other questions.

EDIT:
And not all encoders have the parameters to include tags, Qaac can use:
--album <string> --band <string> --title <string> --track <number[/total]> --artist <string> --date <string> --comment <string> ...

But NeroAacEnc don't have any parameter for that.
Using NeroAacEnc with Foobar2000 the tags are added after the encode automatically.

[LigH]

Nero has a separate tagging tool...

OK, back to MeGUI already.

Oddly, if the "resize to selected mod" option is selected, and you switch to "encode non-mod16", the width in the resizing field very briefly displays 680, before it changes back to 640 again.

Thanks, I have fixed that in my local branch. I you have better name for "encode non-mod16" I love to hear that.

The correct way to extract these tracks with HD Streams Extractor is the showed in the attached image.
Track 2: Extract As: EAC3 [if you add -core is ignored] -> The output is a EAC3 stream.
Track 3: Extract As: EAC3 +Options: -core -> The output is a AC3 stream even with extension .eac3.

You can decode/recode Track 2 (Other value in Extract As)
Any attempt to decode/recode Track 3 without the -core parameter can finish with a ERROR.
You can decode/recode only the core of Track 3.

----------------------------------------------
Now the same tracks in mkv container.

The unique option with these tracks in mkv container is extract them.
We can ignore the eac3to messages:
Bitstream parsing for tracks 2 and 3 failed. <WARNING>
Demuxing these tracks may still produce correct results - or not. <WARNING>
The outputs are bit-identical to obtained with mkvextract.
Can't be decoded, or recoded or extract the core of track 3. Only extract as is.

The problem is: MeGUI - HD Streams Extractor don't offer the option Extract As: EAC3
All options than offer don't work at all.

[Zathor]

Thank you very much for the details, Tebasuna, it is very much appreciated!

I have to check what I can do. One option may be to default the extract type of E-AC3 tracks to ac3 and use for that always the -core option.

[tebasuna51]

One option may be to default the extract type of E-AC3 tracks to ac3 and use for that always the -core option.
Nope. Default must be eac3, but you can add always the -core most the times ignored:

eac3to Eac30.m2ts 2: output.ac3 [-core] -> OK recoded to ac3

TSMuxer seems to be able to extract the full E-AC3, don't know how easy it is to implement and 2nd tool into an eac3to feature.

The main problem with this kind of E-AC3:
3: E-AC3, Spanish, 7.1 channels, 768kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -27dB
(core: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -27dB)
is if there are a free decoder than can decode the full E-AC3 (7.1), is usseless extract it full if only can decode the 'core'.

By the moment ffmpeg only can decode the 'core':
Stream mapping:
Stream #0:2 -> #0:0 (eac3 (native) -> pcm_s24le (native))
Output #0, w64, to 'D:\tmp\Back\Eac30.m2ts_.w64':
Metadata:
encoder : Lavf57.66.105
Stream #0:0(spa): Audio: pcm_s24le ([1][0][0][0] / 0x0001), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s32, 6912 kb/s
Metadata:
encoder : Lavc57.83.101 pcm_s24le
[eac3 @ 000000000057f840] Dependent substream decoding is not implemented. Update your FFmpeg version to the newest one from Git. If the pro
blem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented.

I've just updated to MeGUI 2714 from the Development Update Server.

Now, when attempting to use the File Indexer tool (or AVS Script Creator) with any of the available indexers (DGIndexIM, DGIndexNV, FFMSIndex, L-Smash Works) I am getting this fatal exception when starting the queue job:

http://i.imgur.com/7fB0yP4.png

I'm running on Win10 x64.

[Zathor]

Replace your MeGUI.exe with these two files http://megui.org/megui_test.zip
Then please reproduce the error and post/upload the full log file.

[WorBry]

Well since booting my PC today I haven't encountered the issue again, as yet. So I'm not sure what caused it. I just know that after the fatal error first appeared (and I can't recall with what input file) I got the same error with every video file I tested (except avi). What does that kind of error normally point to ?

Perhaps you can find the log in: Megui>logs.

Yes, here's the log for the first job after updating to MeGUI 2714:

[mini-moose]

The main problem with this kind of E-AC3:
3: E-AC3, Spanish, 7.1 channels, 768kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -27dB
(core: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -27dB)
is if there are a free decoder than can decode the full E-AC3 (7.1)

Yes, I tried just that kind of E-AC3 with TSMuxer. It gives out an .AC3 file that is bigger in size than core and bigger than the useless one (recode from core to 640).
Mediainfo seems to be unable to see it as 7.1, but if I run eac3to on it it reports it to be E-AC3 with core.

Another person showed it here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/bugs/870/#ce55

@tuanden0

Heap Corruption Exception 0xC0000374

Basic fault finding to narrow the problem down, try disabling lines in your script until problem goes away.
OR, disable all except source filter, and enable one at a time until problem appears.
You are in the best position to do this.

Having just updated MeGUI to the latest versions I get this error after using to successfully index a ts file:

Which version of AviSynth is used by MeGUI? Unfortunately, you cropped off the first lines of your log with the system analysis.

DGDecodeNV.dll may now use AviSynth 2.6 headers to be compatible with AviSynth+. But not sure if that causes issues on AviSynth 2.5.x with exactly this error message.

[Groucho2004]

Plugin C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll is not an AviSynth 2.5 plugin.
Avisynth 2.5.x cannot load 2.6 plugins. Update your Avisynth version to 2.6 (or AVS+).

[bamsebo]

many thanks for your help, yes that was the problem still on version 2.5, now with 2.6 all good.

[Groucho2004]

DGDecodeNV.dll may now use AviSynth 2.6 headers to be compatible with AviSynth+.
DGDecodeNV.dll is a 2.6 plugin and has been since r2052. However, AVS+ works with 2.5 plugins, there is no compatibility issue.

But not sure if that causes issues on AviSynth 2.5.x with exactly this error message.
That error message is exclusive to Avisynth 2.5.x.

[LigH]

Then it was possibly VapourSynth. I remember that Donald Graft had to decide either-or.

[Zathor]

2715 had been released as a stable build a few days ago (as you can see above).

2718 [FFMS Indexer] enabled AVI file handling
2717 [AviSynth Wrapper] improved error handling
2716 [VideoEncoder] extended avs log information

The included AviSynth has been updated to AviSynth+ r2455 and the wrapper did get a slight update as well. Please report any problems.

[LigH]

Please remember that indexing a keyframe-only AVI is not recommendable, it will take ages and produce huge index files... handling AVI files with little or no compression should really prefer AviSource.

[Zathor]

It has only been enabled again to be selected in the file indexer. Default still is L-SMASH. It is up to the user to skip the indexing.

[kuchikirukia]

Any idea why running FRAPS would give this error when trying to start MeGUI?
Win10, MeGUI 2624

https://picload.org/image/rclipiwi/untitled.png

(search terms)
There is already another instance of the application running

E: does it in 2715 as well. If FRAPS is running it won't start MeGUI.

[sumirecccp]

BUG:auto-detect display aspect ratio will still take effect even choosing the "keep input resolution" option, and "display aspect ratio" is in gray.

I use one 720x480 DVD VOB source, and use avisynth profile to crop the borders, and resize to 640x480, (keep input resolution is in check and display aspect ratio is in gray),but it will still produce a wrong ratio, 16:9.

when check off the "keep input resolution" ,and modify the display aspect ratio to 4:3, then check on "keep input resolution", it will be correct 4:3.

please fix this problem.
this problem did't happen in build 2680.

[Genu29]

Hello everyone, I am looking for help to decide which values I have to set to convert my SVHS-AVI PAL video files to MKV thru MEGUI from a size point of view. My target is Smart TV player (or Android box tv or PC) and I would like to see these files as 16:9.

Source files are SVHS-AVI PAL, 720x576, 5:4, interlaced, 25FPS, acquired with VirtualDub/HuffYUV (no filters), color space YUY2, audio is PCM (48kHz, 16bits, 2 channels).

I have to crop the bottom because of SVHS noise and thru AVS script interface I crop 18 at the bottom and resolution parameters shows to 712x552; then I changed input DAR from 5:4 to ITU 4:3, but when I played on Smart TV was showed with black bars. If I use Input DAR ITU 16:9 the I see it as 16;9 on Smart TV player. May you would suggest best values to use ? Should I use ITU 4:3, ITU 16:9 or stay with 5:4 ?

Many thanks for help

There seems to be some bottleneck when indexing with DGIndex through MeGUI.


Machine 1 (hyperthreaded quad, so 12.5% CPU util for max single threaded):
MeGUI 2624: 26MB/s. 4.5% CPU util
DGIndex GUI: 100MB/s, 11% CPU util (hard drive max read)

Machine 2 (quad core)
MeGUI 2715: 44MB/s, 13% CPU util
DGIndex GUI: 150MB/s, 30% CPU util

Indexing mainly means seeking on the harddisk. And it depends a lot on the material.

[kuchikirukia]

Indexing mainly means seeking on the harddisk. And it depends a lot on the material.

It's indexing the same material on the same drives with the same indexer. I have 10 episodes ripped, and alternating down the line (to avoid caching), MeGUI calling DGIndex far slower than using DGIndex's GUI. No audio, no demuxing.

Try it yourself.

[LigH]

Well, you reported "different machines", so I assumed "different hardware", comparing the speed on one machine with the speed on the other. My mistake... :o

Now I see the differences you mean ... between CLI mode and interactive mode on the same machine each. Now that's interesting. I wonder if it might be related to MeGUI capturing the CLI output.

...

And this reminds me on the discovery that the updater advances a lot faster when you hold a mouse button while it progresses. As if there is a lot of useless idling in .NET GUI's, and flooding the event loop with mouse events pushes it.

Any idea why running FRAPS would give this error when trying to start MeGUI?
Win10, MeGUI 2624
(search terms)
There is already another instance of the application running
E: does it in 2715 as well. If FRAPS is running it won't start MeGUI.
MeGUI searches at start for a second process with GetProcessesByName() which is using the same file path. So FRAPS seems to report wrong information for that function.

BUG:auto-detect display aspect ratio will still take effect even choosing the "keep input resolution" option, and "display aspect ratio" is in gray. Could you describe in more detail what you are doing? E.g. are you using OneClick, ...?

Hi all, DVD indexing seems to be boken on 2718.

The latest version 2722 of MeGUI is outputting MKV files with only limited metadata for the video stream when opened with MediaInfo. Demuxing the output from MeGUI with MKVExtract GUI2 and remuxing with MKVToolNix GUI restores full video stream information when opened with MediaInfo.

It is as if MeGUI has intervened somehow with an mkvmerge command line switch to limit metadata. Is this so, and if so is there somewhere in the options to restore full video stream information in MKV output? Or is this a bug with the latest version 2722 of MeGUI?

[sneaker_ger]

Are you using x265 and is MeGUI using mkvmerge 11.0.0? There is a bug in mkvmerge 11.0.0 "stable" that can corrupt HEVC headers. Replace mkvmerge 11.0.0 stable with the latest pre-build (https://mkvtoolnix.download/windows/pre/).

[kuchikirukia]

I figured it out. MeGUI sets DGIndex to run in low priority. Even without CPU and disk in use it still slows waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down compared to Normal.
This doesn't affect LSMASH or ffindex.

-When I set DGindex GUI to Low priority through Task Manager, the Base Priority and Dynamic Priority change, but I/O stays at normal and it indexes at full speed.
-When MeGUI is doing the indexing, DGIndex.exe's I/O priority is Low by default.
It does appear to be the I/O priority killing it since reading from RAM MeGUI indexes at 30% CPU util on Low. (same percentage as Normal priority).


Oh, and why is MeGUI pinging 127.0.0.1 when it indexes with LSMASH?

[sumirecccp]

>>Zathor, yes, i'm using one click encoder, to encode (or batch encode) some 16:9 VOBS. I want use avisynth profile to cut the blackborder, and output 640x480 mp4.

and when I drag the file to one-click encoder, the "display aspect autio" will auto become 16:9(when the "keep input resolution" is in gray), and it will output an 640x480,16:9 mp4.

my avisynth is like this:


<input>
<deinterlace>
LoadPlugin("E:\D\software\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
#tfm(order=-1).tdecimate(mode=1,hybrid=1)
tfm(order=-1).tdecimate(hybrid=1)
<crop>
autocrop(mode=0,threshold=50,samples=10)
<resize>
lanczos4resize(640,480)
<denoise>

[hello_hello]

sumirecccp,
Seems like MeGUI is trying to save you from yourself. You can't just resize a 16:9 picture to 4:3 dimensions without squishing it. You need to crop a fair bit of picture from each side so what's left is 4:3, or resize it to 4:3 dimensions and set a 16:9 aspect ratio (as it seems MeGUI is doing).

Assuming it's a 16:9 NTSC DVD and there's no top and bottom cropping required, to get to 4:3 you need to do this, rather than just resize:
Crop(90,0,-90,0)
lanczos4resize(640,480)

Or if you're using autocrop.dll rather than MeGUI's auto-cropping, set the appropriate aspect ratio so it crops to 4:3. You'd need to do it like this (I'm pretty sure) to compensate for the fact the DVD doesn't have square pixels, then resize it to 4:3 dimensions:

autocrop(mode=0,threshold=50,samples=10,aspect=1.125)
lanczos4resize(640,480)

OneClick may still change the display aspect ratio (I'm not sure how OneClick works as I don't use it), but try it without OneClick first to see what happens.

Or (shameless plug) try this script (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/382888-CropResizeBorder-script). It uses autocrop.dll to do the cropping, but hopefully it'll crop and resize with less aspect error than using autocrop.dll on it's own, as above.

[tebasuna51]

BUG:auto-detect display aspect ratio will still take effect even choosing the "keep input resolution" option, and "display aspect ratio" is in gray.

I use one 720x480 DVD VOB source, and use avisynth profile to crop the borders, and resize to 640x480, (keep input resolution is in check and display aspect ratio is in gray),but it will still produce a wrong ratio, 16:9.

when check off the "keep input resolution" ,and modify the display aspect ratio to 4:3, then check on "keep input resolution", it will be correct 4:3.
>>Zathor, yes, i'm using one click encoder, to encode (or batch encode) some 16:9 VOBS. I want use avisynth profile to cut the blackborder, and output 640x480 mp4.

and when I drag the file to one-click encoder, the "display aspect autio" will auto become 16:9(when the "keep input resolution" is in gray), and it will output an 640x480,16:9 mp4.

my avisynth is like this:

I'm not a 'One Click Encoder' mode user, but I have some questions (maybe a full log of the encode can clarify the problem)

- If your input is "16:9 VOBS", your output must be 16:9 even if your output is 640x480 pixels (here help the full log to see what hapens). A 640x480,16:9 mp4 can be correct.

- Seems there are some problem with "keep input resolution" and your AviSynth profile "640x480 auto 50 td" (the template than you show?). Both are incompatible.

BTW my recomendation for recode DVD input with x264 or x265 is use 'Autocrop' and 'Anamoph output' without Resize.

[sumirecccp]

hello_hello, tebasuna51, I tried your solutions but none works, it still output 640x480,16:9 mp4. the "display aspect autio" will still effect even when it's gray.

but I'm very sure build 2624 will output 640x480,4:3 mp4.

you may download 2624 at https://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/files/megui-stable/

and I uploaded the example vob here:
https://mega.nz/#!5sgDQIyQ!w9x-gq8IM3c9PpPilAXGv093P42A5psdw_EPM7X1hZ4

[Zathor]

I figured it out. MeGUI sets DGIndex to run in low priority. Even without CPU and disk in use it still slows waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down compared to Normal.
This doesn't affect LSMASH or ffindex.

When "idle" priority is selected it will also set I/O priority to idle so this is correct.

Oh, and why is MeGUI pinging 127.0.0.1 when it indexes with LSMASH?
I had to cheat a bit and needed a running process for the job progress while the index is performed in a MeGUI thread without process.

>>Zathor, yes, i'm using one click encoder, to encode (or batch encode) some 16:9 VOBS. I want use avisynth profile to cut the blackborder, and output 640x480 mp4.

<resize>
lanczos4resize(640,480)
<denoise>

I still do not get what you try to do and may miss some information. Is it possible that you upload beside the sample the log file and also all your profiles (select "file\export presets" in MeGUI)? Also MeGUI may have problems as you select that no cropping should be performed and you do have an autocrop in your script. Therefore all AR calculations may be off. Why do you not use the MeGUI crop function?

[sumirecccp]

>>Zathor, I'm not very sure why you can't understand my meaning.

so, here is a VOB sample in 16:9 with border:
https://mega.nz/#!5sgDQIyQ!w9x-gq8IM3c9PpPilAXGv093P42A5psdw_EPM7X1hZ4

and when use build 2624 one-click encoder with my avisynth profile, it will out put a 640x480,4:3 mp4. It's what my want.
https://mega.nz/#!B85DSarJ!leteVasSiGl7PvUvi4Am1ON778z05QQDpIhz0KcdD_k

but when use build 2722, it will out put a 640x480,16:9 mp4. I don't want this.
https://mega.nz/#!JtwBnRxJ!0QHo6tqvB0JQL-zPhF5oebSbd-514E4vFN9yhYHjJts

and your request logs & profiles here:
https://mega.nz/#!Iw4FVLpA!1kF1Xit5K5-JJSg9qYXk3gXbL4tOwO6LEkN7uhgcrLs https://mega.nz/#!dsoW3LIZ!6jBRnIydO4dvD8JdrFYn2RrQgg0_6gLMrM7TwJbvq8c

so, I wanna I can disable "auto detect display aspect autio".

[hello_hello]

Zathor,

If you'd care to play follow the links and update YadifMod2, apparently there's a newer version than the one MeGUI is using, although unfortunately if you check the newer dll's properties it shows it's version 0.0.2, when apparently it's actually version 0.2. MeGUI is currently using version 0.0.4, I believe.

The newer version was built by real.finder from the source at github and can be found here:
https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1798117&postcount=36
Here's real.finder explaining the story:

Is it possible to change the order of preference of source filters in the File Indexer (e.g. always FFMS2 over L-SMASH Source)?

Also asked in the VideoHelp forum (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/383449-FFVideoSource-vs-LWLibavVideoSource) by someone else...

[hello_hello]

LigH,
What type of files are you indexing? Multiple types, or something in particular? For me, when opening MKV sources at least, the indexer defaults to L-Smash.

Edit, sorry I misread your post. I thought you were saying it's currently defaulting to ffms2, not that you want it to.

I'd like MeGUI to remember the last indexer I selected for a particular file type (rather than set a default) so if I used ffms2 to index an MKV last, it'd default to ffms2 for the next MKV I index etc. Same for the option to demux audio. I'd reeeeeaaaaaallllly love it if MeGUI remembered the last choice there.

[hello_hello]

Zathor,

One day when you're bored, could a little change be made to the OneClick encoder configuration?

When you open an audio/video encoder configuration, the list of encoder presets is down the bottom, so if you have "show advanced settings enabled" (x264 configuration) you can switch tabs and the selected preset stays at the bottom of the configuration window. That way you can select a preset no matter which tab is selected, and the settings naturally change accordingly.

For some reason the OneClick profile list is glued to the first tab. I know there's only a couple of tabs in the OneClick encoder configuration, but still, it'd make life easier if it was tab independent too. Long post short.... could the "show advanced settings" drop down list swap places with the OneClick Profile drop down list?

Cheers.

PS when you edit an encoder preset and just wish it to be saved to scratchpad, is it really necessary for MeGUI to ask twice if you want to update the preset or save the changes to scrachpad. The old system of simply clicking yes to update the preset, or no to have the changes saved to scratchpad, was better IMHO. Less annoying, at least....

Previously, I was able to copy the contents of an avisynth script created by MeGUI in AvsPmod to preview the script and make further adjustments.
Now, when I click the preview button, it complains no matter what source filter I choose:

http://i65.tinypic.com/qn41ok.jpgOne reason for this error message is trying to load a 64 bit plugin into 32 bit Avisynth.

[hello_hello]

If Lsmash is working fine for MeGUI maybe try coping msvcr120.dll (or whichever version it is) from the MeGUI\tools\lsmash folder into the AvsPmod folder, or if you haven't, try rebooting. I occasionally have a bunch of encodes running in the queue, and suddenly all new jobs fail with an error because a plugin won't load. It usually happens the other way around for me.... a script won't open with MeGUI but it will with another program, however a reboot fixes it. Or try re-installing the correct flavour of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSMASHSource

Or try opening the script another way. MPC-HC or VirtualDub etc.
What happens if you open the existing script with AvsPmod, rather than copying the contents to create a new one?

MeGUI recently switched to Avisynth+ (development update server). Which version do you have installed and what's the whole script? I shouldn't matter, but maybe there's something going on there if MeGUI is using it's own portable Avisynth, which obviously AvsPmod won't be.

So if he's running 32 bit MeGUI and Lsmash is working when he loads a script in MeGUI, what's the cause?

[Groucho2004]

So if he's running 32 bit MeGUI and Lsmash is working when he loads a script in MeGUI, what's the cause?He creates the script in megui and tries to load/preview it in Avspmod. At least that's how I interpret his post. I don't know what megui does with plugin paths so Avspmod might load plugins from a different directory.

[LigH]

When running the script inside MeGUI, MeGUI will possibly use its own AviSynth environment with own plugins.

AvsPmod runs outside MeGUI and will use a system-wide AviSynth installation with default plugin locations. So it's quite probable that one has to make all plugins working in MeGUI also work outside of it.

Yeah but I'd assume he has 32 bit Avisynth installed, and he's using 32 bit MeGUI, so everything should be 32 bit, but maybe that's not the case and he switched to 64 bit MeGUI (although he didn't mention it). I guess we'll have to wait and see. I thought x64 MeGUI was still kind of experimental, but maybe more people are using it now.

Fortunately no reboot required this time. Just shutting down and restarting MeGUI. Computers.....

... tebasuna51, I tried your solutions but none works, it still output 640x480,16:9 mp4.

My solution implies don't Resize, if your output is 640x480 is not my solution.

I encode this sample with:
- Auto detected display aspect ratio -> Input DAR: ITU 16:9 NTSC (1.823169)
- Clever anamorphic...: Encode non-mod16
- Autocrop (without resize)

And I obtain a output DAR 646x472

But I think than is not the exact DAR of this sample.
Then I do other encode with:
- Selecting Generic non-ITU Input DAR: 16:9 (1.77778)
- Clever anamorphic...: Encode non-mod16
- Autocrop (without resize)
-[Information] Log for job27 (video, VTS_01_PGC_02_1.avs -> VTS_01_PGC_02_1.264)

And I obtain a wrong output DAR 646x472 like with job25

@Zathor
For what the change of aspect ratio (avs) 1,337 to the undesired aspect ratio (job) 1.370?

With a --sar near 32:27 we can obtain a correct output DAR 630x472

He creates the script in megui and tries to load/preview it in Avspmod. At least that's how I interpret his post. I don't know what megui does with plugin paths so Avspmod might load plugins from a different directory.

Did you shorten the avsinfo log?
LSMASHSource.dll is missing in the "normal" plugin dir...
If MeGui is looking in it's own plugin folder, make sure all required plugins are available.
Or make a "repair" update within Megui's updater.
Right click in options/update on LSMASHSource. Choose "force reinstall", press update...
Is there a mark in Extra Configuration / "always use the inluded avisynth"?
I dont use the build-in avisynth routines,
so please let us know what's your gameplay :D

LSMASHSource.dll is missing from the plugins dir but in the script it is loaded from the megui folder.

[hello_hello]

kalehrl,
Have you tried copying the lsmash dll to the installed Avisynth plugin folder? As long as it's the same version MeGUI uses, duplicating plugins like that shouldn't do any harm (I have quite a few of MeGUI's plugins copied to the "installed" Avisynth plugin folder).

Theoretically it should still produce the same error, but with LSmash in the auto-loading plugins directory, you can delete the LSmash loadplugin line from the script so it's not still being loaded from the MeGUI plugins folder and if it auto-loads okay, problem solved, well..... problem worked around, maybe..... it'd still be nice to know why it's happening. You could do the same with any other plugins that've stopped working with Avspmod, if there's others.

[hello_hello]

Same advice as above (post #5457).

Also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

Interesting. According to that, I must have run out of memory.

Which I kind of have been. Normally while MeGUI is running an encode I can create and preview another script, but lately with any CPU intensive filtering in the script (QTGMC, RMLogo etc) if I try to play/preview the script it only gets through a few frames and then MeGUI has a hissy, complaining about being out of memory. Then it disables the "improve AVS opening" option for the current session, which I'm fairly certain never achieves anything when there's a problem, so I have to go into options and enable it again. I must have done that 20 times in the last few days. Automatically disabling the "improve AVS opening" option every time there's a light shower within a hundred miles is sooooooooo annoying. At least for me.

Anyhow, I wasn't doing anything I don't normally do. When the error started there weren't any encodes running at all. Given simply restarting MeGUI fixed the problem I assume MeGUI must be holding onto memory unnecessarily, or something to that effect. If it was a plugin using lots of memory, shouldn't it be freed when the encoding finishes? I'll have to start keeping an eye on memory usage to see what's happening.

Maybe I need to have a cleanup. It's been at least four years since I installed XP and created an image, and I've not been to Windows Update since, or defragged any of the drives, or done any sort of maintenance, and this PC runs 24/7. It might be time for a reset. VirtualDubMod seems to think so. It started complaining a week ago when I open it, then it works normally anyway. OpenCL.dll is in the same place it's always been. Computers.....

I was under the impression Avisynth plays some type of error message lotto, and due to the law of averages it'll be the correct error message a certain percentage of the time. :)

Does Avisynth "standard" have identical error messages to Avisynth+? Are they the same error message for every flavour of Windows?
I ask, because when I deliberately replaced ffms2 with a 64 bit version and loaded it in a script (XP, AVISynth standard), this is the error message I was offered (when I didn't specifically load ffms2 in the script because it was in the plugins folder, the error message was "there's no such function as.....")

I have some encodes running so I'll have to do it tomorrow, but I might try the same test with x64 LSmash to see if it produces a different error message. It occurred to me that midts and I were seeing the same error message when ffms2 wouldn't load, whereas kalehrl was trying to load LSmash and the error message was different.

Not that it'd help to fix anything, but I'm curious now.

midts can't load ffms2. It results in an error message. I couldn't load ffms2 when I switched it for the 64 bit version (naturally) but the error message was the same as it was for midts.

kalehrl can't load Lsmash. His error message was different (not a 32 bit application). I'm curious to see if when I change Lsmash to 64 bit and try to load it, I get them same error message as I did for ffms2, or if I get the same error message as kalehrl.
ie If 64 bit ffms2 and 64 bit Lsmash result in different error messages. That's all.

That's all.I think you're getting the error messages that various Avisynth versions produce mixed up with the error codes thrown by Windows. Windows just produces a code (0x1C, for example). The application that catches the error (usually via GetLastError()) is responsible for formatting it into a user readable format (usually via FormatMessage()). Unfortunately, many programs just throw the error code at the user who then has to figure out what it means.

[hello_hello]

I see..... I think. :)

So you're saying Windows can produce an error message such as 0xC1, and Avisynth will translate it into something else, such as "not a 32 bit application"?

Because the error message Avisynth displayed was 0xC1 for ffms2 x64, in my case.

Edit. Now I see, 0xC1 is the error code for "not a 32 bit application", but for some reason Avisynth isn't translating it.

Cheers.

[kalehrl]

That's the 64 bit version.

See above.
OMG this is so embarrassing!
You are right!
I've been using the 64bit AvspMod that I updated some time ago without even testing it at that time. I believe I downloaded the updated 64bit version from this forum.
Now, when I needed to do some encoding, I forgot all about the damn update and that it could be the cause of the problem. I downloaded the official version from the github and it works. I'm sorry for wasting everybody's time. Thank you all for your help. These post, which are not really related to MeGUI, could be deleted if an admin thinks so.

I have tested it. My results:
2624 + 2722 produce the same "wrong" mp4 file with 16:9 AR. For me this is clear as MeGUI tries to keep up with the detected input AR of 16:9. Btw that is what will be selected in the OneClick settings: the INPUT aspect ratio. MeGUI assumes that the output AR must be the same as the input AR (if anamorph encoding is selected, otherwise 1:1 will be used as PAR). As you are changing the output in the script (autocrop & resize) MeGUI does not know that the input AR is not valid anymore for the output. Two suggestions to make it work:
- Do not resize - encode anamorph as the pixel information will be retained (as Tebasuna suggested)
- If you really want to resize: disbale the usage of ITU values in the settings, remove your resize & autocrop from the avs profile, enable the resize in the OneClick profile incl. autocrop together with a maximum width of 640. In my tests I ended up with a suare pixel 640:480 = 4:3 encode.

[hello_hello]

Is it possible MeGUI gets carried away with the file locking. This is all the same source file, and after the encode had finished. Why a source file is often locked by x264 before the script is encoded is something else I don't understand. If it wasn't for Unlocker I'd be living in a padded room by now.

https://s18.postimg.org/cp2080km1/unlocker.gif

And then MeGUI went and out-did itself, although that was a test script so admittedly I encoded it three times.

[Zathor]

But I think than is not the exact DAR of this sample.
Then I do other encode with:
- Selecting Generic non-ITU Input DAR: 16:9 (1.77778)
- Clever anamorphic...: Encode non-mod16
- Autocrop (without resize)

And I obtain a wrong output DAR 646x472 like with job25

@Zathor
For what the change of aspect ratio (avs) 1,337 to the undesired aspect ratio (job) 1.370?

With a --sar near 32:27 we can obtain a correct output DAR 630x472
How have you done that? I just did a manual encode (File Indexer, AVS Script Creator, X264) with your settings above and the output did had the correct AR.

Hard to guess. MeGUI itself should not have any file handles open to those files. Two exceptions: AVS scripts opened by MeGUI or mediainfo information.
Could you please replace your megui.exe with these files? http://megui.org/megui_test.zip
In the log tab you will find a new "AviSynth" chapter where you can see when MeGUI uses avisynth and if it will be closed properly. if the encode is finished the last entry there should be that the count of avisynth sessions is 0 = no file lock.
EDIT: I uploaded another debug build. Btw. you can also try the new worker settings if you like. The window is not polished at all yet, but workers are started based on the rules on that page.

[hello_hello]

Thanks. I'll give it a spin after the current bunch of encoding jobs have finished. Probably tomorrow at this rate.

Mind you, a few days ago I tried moving the d2v files from six completed jobs but I couldn't because they were all locked, then the next few were movable, then a couple not, and sometimes it doesn't happen for days, so it's fairly intermittent. I'll keep my eye on the log file though and let you know what it contains when it happens next.

Cheers.

thank you for Zathor and tebasuna51 for testing.
The best way to solve this problem I think is to add a "DAR select menu" on the one-click configuration dialog, so we can choose or ignore the DAR manually.

It's very useful in batch VOB converting I think.

[hello_hello]

I located the bug (at least in my side).

Aren't they both wrong?

I think you're at least partly a victim of MeGUI's option for anamorphic aspect ratio fudging, which is 1% by default, although I don't know what it aims for when fudging is enabled. It's probably of no use unless you want to aim for a nice 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, but for other aspect ratios I can't see much reason not to be accurate about it.

Anyway, I applied your cropping and checked the script.

Non ITU:
global MeGUI_darx = 2128
global MeGUI_dary = 1593
(1.3358)

SAR: 32:27

ITU:
global MeGUI_darx = 54720
global MeGUI_dary = 39943
(1.3670)

SAR: 5760:4739.
That's the old ITU SAR I MeGUI still uses, so it's what it should be.
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1058927#post1058927

If I change the option to 1%, I get display aspect ratios of 131:98 and 137:100 as you did.
SARs 7729:6517 & 8083:6650 respectively when I encoded them.

When you ran the encodes, did you resave/edit the script and add it to the queue without first reloading it into the Avsiynth script section (was it already loaded), or did you at least usie the "re-open video preview" button? Because that might explain the same SAR each time. Once you've loaded a script into the video section and MeGUI's done it's checking, it seems to stay married to that display aspect ratio if you don't reload the script. I'm not sure if it works exactly the same way for anamorphic encoding, but if you had a non anamorphic script outputting 640x480 (for example) and edited the resizing to 656x480 without reloading it (just for example) I'm pretty sure MeGUI will go all anamorphic & try to "correct it" to 4:3 by changing the SAR.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of another likely explanation, especially given for your previous test it used SAR 8083:6650 both times.

It's very useful in batch VOB converting I think.

The only way for an Output DAR option not to distort the encodes by different amounts would be for MeGUI to make sure they're all cropped to the same aspect ratio.

I had a cunning plan, but it was slightly thwarted by MeGUI in the end. Still workable though.
By somewhat of a coincidence (there's no guarantee the auto-cropping will be the same each time) applying your autocrop settings to your sample manages to give you exactly 4:3, if you assume a generic PAR/SAR of 32:27.

Autocrop defaults to a mod4 width and mod2 height when cropping (I forgot about that till after I finished playing around so didn't change it myself), however to ensure it's 4:3 each time, you should still set the correct aspect ratio, and if you're going to set a cropping aspect ratio, you might as well make it mod2 for some extra resizing accuracy if you resize afterwards.

If the source PAR is 32:27, that'll be:
Autocrop(mode=1, wMultOf=2, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.125)
Otherwise, and it might be more correct, if you use the mpeg4 SAR of 40:33, the aspect will be:
Autocrop(mode=1, wMultOf=2, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.1)

Here's the difference for your sample (without wMultOf=2):
Aspect 1.125 vs Aspect 1.1

https://s3.postimg.org/iumi60hi7/1125.jpg (https://postimg.org/image/iumi60hi7/) https://s3.postimg.org/76sgbgsdb/image.jpg (https://postimg.org/image/76sgbgsdb/)

The cropping/resolution mightn't always be the same, but the display aspect ratio should be.

Follow autocrop with resizing to 4:3 dimensions in your template if you want to resize, as you're doing.
Autocrop(mode=0, wMultOf=2, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.125)
Spline36Resize(640,480)

Create an encoder preset with the "force SAR" option set to 1:1 under the Misc tab for x264, or add --sar 1:1 to the custom command line section for x265 and save the encoder preset as part of your OneClick profile. That fixes the encoding, and it doesn't seem to matter if "keep input resolution" etc are enabled or not, but the muxing.... not so much....

I can't think of a reason why MeGUI should specify an aspect ratio when muxing with MKVToolNix. The SAR is always written to the video stream, and when it is, MKVToolNix uses it to set the correct display aspect ratio automatically, so it only seems like potential for something to go wrong.

All is not lost though. Until you've convinced Zathor to remove the aspect ratio from the muxing command line, set MeGUI to not delete temporary files, find the encoded hevc stream, open it with MKVToolNix GUI, click the "start multiplexing button" (add the extracted audio first etc if you wish) and in no time you'll have a 4:3 MKV.

If you want to use anamorphic encoding without any resizing instead and still output 4:3, remove the resizing from your template and add the appropriate SAR to the command line. ie:

Autocrop(mode=0, wMultOf=2, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.125).Spline36Resize(640,480) for --sar 1:1

Autocrop(mode=0, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.125) for --sar 32:27

Autocrop(mode=0, threshold=50, samples=10, aspect=1.1) for --sar 40:33

Whichever you use, you'll just have to mux the output hevc file yourself so MeGUI can't set the wrong MKV aspect ratio, but it should be encoded correctly.

The aspect ratio for cropping is easy to work out once you've picked a source PAR/SAR. I go with mpeg4 or generic PARs as they're easier to remember than ITU, and they can be found under "force SAR" in MeGUI's x264 configuration.
(4 / 3) / (32 / 27) = 1.125

The best way to solve this problem I think is to add a "DAR select menu" on the one-click configuration dialog, so we can choose or ignore the DAR manually.

Like I say I never use One-click encode, then I don't know if that can help or not.

But I don't understand for what you check 'Keep Input Resolution (disable crop & resize)' when you seems use a AviSynth Profile than make a crop and a resize:

tfm(order=-1).tdecimate(hybrid=1)
autocrop(mode=0,threshold=50,samples=10)
lanczos4resize(640,480)

What happens if you uncheck 'Keep Input Resolution (disable crop & resize)'? Maybe the Input DAR is ignored.

Aren't they both wrong?

When you ran the encodes, did you resave/edit the script and add it to the queue without first reloading it into the Avsiynth script section (was it already loaded), or did you at least usie the "re-open video preview" button?
See the full log's.

First log procedure:
1) Open MeGUI
2) Settings -> Main Configuration -> Use ITU Aspect Ratio NOT CHECKED
3) Load .d2v in Avs Script Creator, encode with detected Input DAR 16:9 (1.77778)
The AR 1.337 is not changed.
4) Again Load .d2v in Avs Script Creator, manually select Input DAR in AviSynth Script creator to ITU 16:9 NTSC (1.823169)
5) New encode, the avs AR 1.370 is changed to 1.337.
6) Close MeGUI

Second log procedure:

5) New encode, the avs AR 1.337 is changed to 1.370.

I think you're at least partly a victim of MeGUI's option for anamorphic aspect ratio fudging, which is 1% by default,...
I know, the question is not related with exact sar's to use, is for what MeGUI change the avs aspect ratio.

[hello_hello]

A couple more muxing thoughts....

I ask, because I discovered x264 is very good a variable frame rate encoding so I've been using TIVTC to create a timecodes file for NTSC sources, then it's simply a matter of adding the timecodes file to the x264 command line. It's surprisingly easy. So much so, it's a wonder no Avisynth GUIs have implemented a VFR mode (that I know of), but once again I can't let MeGUI mux the output because it adds a frame rate to the mkvmerge command line. Does that have a purpose, at least when the encoder is writing the output directly to MKV?

And I think sometimes it adds the frame rate like this --default-duration 0:29.97fps and sometimes in this format --default-duration 0:3000/1001, but I can't remember when exactly.

[Sharc]

I am pretty sure the PAR of the original .vob sample is 32:27.
The source is hard telecined, possibly with broken pattern (I didn't fully check though). Because of the interlaced frames, vertical resizing should be avoided unless proper IVTC is applied.
So my proposed script for an anamorphic 4:3 picture would be (without IVTC):
crop(94,0,-94,0)
spline36resize(710,480) #don't resize vertically
addborders(4,0,6,0) #pad to 720 width

Encode this with --tff --sar 8:9 (=0.8888... generic NTSC for DAR 4:3)

[Zathor]

I located the bug (at least in my side).

Beggining with Settings -> Main Configuration -> Use ITU Aspect Ratio NOT CHECKED
Now detected Input DAR is 16:9 (1.77778)


All correct.

I just tested it myself and sadly I cannot reproduce it. I did what you wrote and - as not mentioned by you - I did the first AVS, closed the AVS creator, queued the encoding, let it finish, started the AVS creator again (reused existing d2v), created the second AVS, closed the AVS creator, queued the encoding. Both have their correct ARs. No difference between the jobs and the files AR.
EDIT: Bug found - it appears only if the setting "show video preview after avisynth script selection" is unchecked.
EDIT2: fixed

All these fps/AR settings get applied to the muxers as for some input formats there are/were problems to be detected by the muxers resulting in wrong files. I am not sure if this is still true today. If not I can remove those forced settings at least for the formats/input files we now it works for.
Please keep in mind that we have four muxers and an "unlimited" count of input formats (while only 4 types are encoded by MeGUI, way more can be muxed e.g. into mkv).

I use MediaInfo to check if the input has fps metadata.


If MediaInfo.GetFrameRate(p.VideoEncoder.OutputPath, 0) = 0 Then
args.Append(" --default-duration 0:" + p.Script.GetFramerate.ToString("f6", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + "fps")
End If


MediaInfo code to get the frame rate:


Function GetFrameRate(Optional defaultValue As Double = 25) As Double
Dim num = GetVideo("FrameRate_Num").ToInt
Dim den = GetVideo("FrameRate_Den").ToInt
If num > 0 AndAlso den > 0 Then Return num / den
Dim ret = GetVideo("FrameRate")
If ret = "" Then ret = GetVideo("FrameRate_Original")
If ret = "" Then ret = GetVideo("FrameRate_Nominal")
If ret.IsDouble Then Return ret.ToDouble Else Return defaultValue
End Function


I believe most tools create fps metadata, one tool that don't is VCEEnc because of the VCE SDK.

Thanks, yes, MeGUI does it the same way with MediaInfo. However you still do not know if the muxer uses also the media information of the source file. E.g. HEVC was not parsed for some time by the muxers to my knowledge even as it could be added.

Like I say I never use One-click encode, then I don't know if that can help or not.

But I don't understand for what you check 'Keep Input Resolution (disable crop & resize)' when you seems use a AviSynth Profile than make a crop and a resize:

tfm(order=-1).tdecimate(hybrid=1)
autocrop(mode=0,threshold=50,samples=10)
lanczos4resize(640,480)

What happens if you uncheck 'Keep Input Resolution (disable crop & resize)'? Maybe the Input DAR is ignored.

I don't think the "keep input resolution" option should have anything to do with the aspect ratio directly. It seems to just disable cropping and resizing. Maybe I don't use OneClick enough myself, so I don't understand why it also greys out the InputDAR option.
It'd be like opening a source in the script creator and being able to set a different InputDAR when resizing is enabled, but you're stuck with the InputDAR detected by MeGUI if you disable resizing. The same applies to the anamorphic option. I don't understand why "keep input resolution" greys it out if all it should do is disable auto-cropping and auto-resizing.

I guess ideally OneClick would work the same way as creating a script with the Script Creator, using the InputDAR as the basis for it's calculations according to the script output. I guess that's what it does when OneClick is auto cropping and resizing, but it's oblivious to any changes in resolution or aspect ratio inflicted on the video by an Avisynth profile.

My main motivation for creating this script (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/382888-CropResizeBorder-script) was to make it easy to crop and resize to a specific output resolution/aspect ratio automatically for batch encoding, pretty much what sumirecccp wants to do with his auto-cropping, I assume, and it works a treat as long as I create individual scripts and load them for batch encoding rather than add it to an Avisynth profile for OneClick.
It be great if a GUI could do the same.... here's a bunch of files I want cropped to exactly 16:9 and resized to 960x540... as opposed to copping varying amounts of back and outputting whatever resolution/aspect ratio happens to remain.

See the full log's.

Yeah, I see what you mean and it appears Zathor's outdone himself and fixed it already. :)

[hello_hello]

Could you please share more details about that? e.g. sample file(s),...

Certainly. I'll wonder off and find some old scripts and return shortly.

Before I go.......

I also don't use OneClick enough to have discovered which settings in the Avisynth profile configuration effect the OneClick encoder. For instance if you create an Avisynth profile with anamorphic encoding enabled and select it as the Avisynth profile for OneClick, but leave anamorphic encoding unchecked in the OneClick configuration, which setting wins? That sort of thing....

Cheers.

Good point! I will modify it in the way that the AVS profile will enable the OneClick anamorphic setting if enabled in the AVS profile. But maybe the best way is to completly remove the anamorphic checkbox and only to use it from within the AVS profile. Any thoughts?

Regarding the "keep input resolution": To be honest the settings of the Display Aspect Ratio and anamorphic get in any case applied if if disabled. I will change that as well yo that you can modify the checkbox / AR selection.

[hello_hello]

Could you please share more details about that? e.g. sample file(s),...

Hopefully this essay won't make it look hard. I'm just being thorough. ;)

When I referred to VFR and TIVTC, I was referring to encoding any hybrid NTSC DVD. A combination of "film" and "video". TIVTC mostly outputs two constant frame rates. 23.976 and 29.970. There's plugins such as Dedup for producing timecodes files and removing as many duplicate frames as possible, but that's all they do.

If you're not fond of TIVTC's de-interlacing, I'm fairly sure you can still create a second de-interlaced clip for it to use.

I'm yet to find a way to IVTC the film parts and de-interlace the video parts to 60fps, although I'm not sure that's a big deal. If a source was predominantly interlaced I'd probably be inclined to de-interlace it all with QTGMC to 60fps and be done with it.

If I'm doing a bunch of encodes, my method is to create two scripts for each encode in advance, the first only with TIVTC for outputting the metrics files (I'll call it script A) and the second with TIVTC and whatever filtering for encoding (I'll call it script B). The trick is to be organised and name all the input/output metrics files in the scripts in logical way, so then it's just a matter of adding "script A" for encode one to the job queue as an analysis pass, "script B" for encode one as a normal encode, "script A" for encode two as an analysis pass, "script B" for encode two and so on...

Once the scripts are created the tedious part is having to open the x264 encoder configuration before adding each encoding script to the queue to change the name of the timecodes file to match the name of the timecodes file in the script.

Analysis and encoding scripts for a single job:

Analysis pass:
TFM(Output="D:\TFM Episode 1.txt")
TDecimate(Mode=4, Hybrid=2, Output="D:\TDecimate Episode 1.txt")

Encoding:
TFM(Input="D:\TFM Episode 1.txt")
TDecimate(Mode=5, Hybrid=2, Input="D:\TDecimate Episode 1.txt", TFMIn="D:\TFM Episode 1.txt", mkvOut="D:\Timecodes Episode 1.txt")

Before adding the second script to the job queue, the following would be added to the custom command line in the x264 encoder configuration:

--tcfile-in "D:\Timecodes Episode 1.txt"

That's pretty much it. None of the output files have to exist, including timecodes file for x264. TIVTC creates it as soon as the encoding script is opened. I always have x264 writing directly to an MKV so I don't know if it can work the same way when outputting raw avc.

The MeGUI "gotcha".....
Mainly due to it's checking of scripts as you add them to the queue. When you add an analysis script to the queue MeGUI does it's checking thing, and TFM and TDecimate spit out their respective metrics files, but only for the first few frames. When you run the analysis pass they're over-written with full versions, however... if the analysis pass has already run and you're silly enough to add the script to the job queue again, or have the audacity to open it an the preview etc, the complete metrics file will be over-written and you have to run the analysis pass again.
That's not a big deal because it's fairly fast. The problem is not realising it's happened before running the encoding pass, which will end up a mess. I'm pretty sure TDecimate has a setting to prevent that, but if memory serves it also prevents the loading of scripts in batch mode the way I described. I'd have to re-check those details.

TIVTC outputs a constant frame rate for Avisynth. I'm fairly sure it uses the average frame rate. Therefore if you leave the keyint settings up to MeGUI, they'll be set according to that frame rate. Personal preference.... I change the GOP calculation setting to fixed and set keyint to 240, or 250, or 300, depending on the mood I'm in.

An alternative is to not give x264 the timecodes file and simply encode at a fixed frame rate and add the timecodes file when muxing, but as x264 is frame rate aware, the resulting bitrate can be a little different for a given CRF value. I've not looked closely for quality differences but I assume x264 distributes the bits differently in VFR mode.

Encoding other VFR sources in VFR mode is a breeze if they're MKVs or something that can be remuxed as MKVs.
Remux, extract the video time codes, add them to the x264 command line and encode.

[hello_hello]

Good point! I will modify it in the way that the AVS profile will enable the OneClick anamorphic setting if enabled in the AVS profile. But maybe the best way is to completly remove the anamorphic checkbox and only to use it from within the AVS profile. Any thoughts?

To be honest 90% of my OneClick usage has been in the last couple of days, but I did find it a little frustrating at times.
By that, I mean MeGUI's encoder configurations have me well trained, so after opening OneClick and changing a setting and closing it, I kept forgetting it'd revert back to the way it was configured by the current OneClick profile. Quite a few times I unintentionally encoded with the wrong encoder configuration, or the wrong Avisynth profile etc, especially as some of those settings aren't visible initially.

Personally I think if the OnceClick configuration was much the same as the encoder configurations.... advanced options under tabs, no configuration within a configuration.... that's what configuring a OneClick profile seems like to me.... but a preset list at the bottom, and MeGUI asking twice if you want to update the profile or save it to scratchpad would give it quite a familiar feel. I know the configuration within the configuration works that way, but it just feels to me like the whole lot should be a single window.

For the Avisynth profile thing... I came up with various ideas but in the end decided they were bad, and part of the problem may be there's too many ways to change settings, so I kept going back to merging OneClick's configuration within a configuration into a single OneClick configuration, and maybe a better way to unite it with the Script Creator's Avisynth Profile Configuration will become more obvious.
For example, at the moment you can open the Avisynth profile configuration from both the OneClick/Advanced Config tab/Avisynth Profile/ Config button and also from the OneClick/Profile Configuration/Avisynth Profile Config button....

I don't know why, but having a Go button rather than a Queue button in the OneClick root configuration window makes me smile....

I still haven't managed to get around to playing with your MeGUI test build. Tomorrow....

[tebasuna51]

EDIT: Bug found - it appears only if the setting "show video preview after avisynth script selection" is unchecked.
EDIT2: fixed
Yes, I have "Show video preview after avisynth script selection" unchecked.

Thanks.

[Zathor]

2726 [OneClick] removed the "Anamorph Output" option in the OneClick profile. Please use the anamorphic encoding options in the AviSynth profile instead.
2725 [Main] fixed wrong AR of a "video encoding" queued job in rare cases (regression of 2610)
2724 [OneClick] cosmetic fix as sometimes even with "don't encode video" some video processing options were not disabled
2723 [OneClick] improved error handling of invalid AviSynth scripts

I still haven't managed to get around to playing with your MeGUI test build. Tomorrow....
Take your time. Btw I upload (at least until the new feature will be merged) always the test/debug builds in parallel to the normal builds.

And thanks for the VFR explanation! Do you have a sample file available?

[sumirecccp]

hi zathor, I test the build 2726 but it will crash when processing one-click profile.

I am not able to reproduce that. Could you please upload your OneClick profile? Export it please with File\Export Presets

[sumirecccp]

I am not able to reproduce that. Could you please upload your OneClick profile? Export it please with File\Export Presets

Oh sorry, I checked the "always use the included avisynth" incorrectly.

2726 will output 640x480,4:3 mp4 when choose INPUT DAR 4:3. but it will only take effect in single file mode.

when use foldermode/multi file mode, it will still output auto-detect 16:9 mp4.

https://image.ibb.co/iOZdo5/QQ_20170507120743.jpg

[Zathor]

Oh sorry, I checked the "always use the included avisynth" incorrectly.
:confused: It should not crash in any case. What have you changed so that it does not crash anymore or what was the reason for your crash?

2726 will output 640x480,4:3 mp4 when choose INPUT DAR 4:3. but it will only take effect in single file mode.
when use foldermode/multi file mode, it will still output auto-detect 16:9 mp4.
That is expected as you cannot choose the AR in the OneClick profile (yet).

[sumirecccp]

Zathor, I did't change anything except "always use the included avisynth" in settings.
after uncheck it, it works well again.

>>I am not able to reproduce that. Could you please upload your OneClick profile? Export it please with File\Export Presets

the preset is as the same as before, I did't change anything

>>That is expected as you cannot choose the AR in the OneClick profile (yet).

Hope you can add that function in future build.

[Zathor]

Zathor, I did't change anything except "always use the included avisynth" in settings.
after uncheck it, it works well again.
So it seems to be then a crash in AviSynth and not in MeGUI. Nevertheless it is strange.

@all: I rewrote the aspect ratio handling a bit. Please test as always. There will be some use cases which I did not had the chance to test.

2631 [OneClick] added aspect ratio selection to the OneClick profile
input aspect ratio can always be selected
if an input aspect ratio will be selected this will be forced
the aspect ratio will not be forced by the muxer if the video track has been encoded
cosmetics
2630 [AutoEncode] do not force the aspect ratio to be written by the muxer as it is available in the video stream
2629 [Muxer] added/improved aspect ratio writing (all muxers except the AVI muxer)
for the M2TS muxer only some input video types are supported
improved logging
2628 [VideoEncoder] forced aspect ratio to be written to the encoding
if not available in the job the avs aspect ratio information will be used
2627 [Worker] priority changes will also be applied to child processes. Feature request #615

[sumirecccp]

>>Zathor
check "always use the included avisynth" in settings will bring a crash: wait for other person's test, I think it should not be the avisynth's ploblem because it crashes at oneclick profile creation step


build 2631:works fine, it will output 640x480x4:3 mp4 at batch mode.
advice: I think there should be a "disable/ignore input DAR" option here,
https://image.ibb.co/ngBB85/QQ_20170508054054.jpg

Like if I have 2 avs, and one I want to output 1712*720 and another one 640x388, etc...

[hello_hello]

Today I realised what it is that bugs me the most about the double confirmation dialogue, aside from the fact there's two of them.

I'm not sure I've lined them up exactly, but it's close enough.
Of course normally they're in the same position vertically on the screen as they appear one after the other.

https://s27.postimg.org/90jvtdon7/confim2.jpg

If you're not careful with cursor placement, after the second popup message replaces the first, clicking "No" can become clicking "Yes" or clicking "No" can become clicking "Cancel", so there's two confirmation dialogues with required reading (I was fine with one but my brain doesn't seem to have enough memory for retaining two) and cursor placement needs to move up to a conscious level where it can be adjusted to compensate for button drift.

Maybe it's just me, but the second or two all that takes feels like hard work. :)

[hello_hello]

sumirecccp's post reminded me of something.

The subtitle section in the script creator is equally stubborn when it comes to removing subtitles from scripts. There's no way to "clear" the subtitle field once they've been added, short of shutting down the script creator and starting again.

I don't think any of the "x" buttons in OneClick or AudoEncode are Woking for me. They seem unable to clear anything.

[Zathor]

I do not have that problem at all with the included avisynth build and your profile. I may upload a debug build later for you to test to see where it will crash.

It is not so easy to change as both are needed for some uses cases and only in one specfic use case you see both.

only have VOB+txt in the directory, you can copy VTS_01_PGC_02_1.VOB I uploaded before and rename it with VTS_01_PGC_03_1.VOB and test for it.

but there're not a directory named D:\MEGUI\MeGUI_debug\packages\tools\avscreator\

[LigH]

Not on your PC. I believe that's the location of Zathor's sources.

[Zathor]

Dont know if this is one that HH is talking about, but, 2nd Dialog box in post 5521, little 'x' close dialog icon is disabled (greyed out).

I assume not, however that second X is also gone as the dialogue in this use case is gone:

2635 [MP4 Muxer] write always aspect ratio information to preserve anamorphic information. Bug #837
2634 [Profile] removed redundant second warning when changing a profile which should be saved to the scratchpad. Feature request #606
2633 [OneClick] added button to clear the working directory path and the chapters file
[AVS Script Creator] added button to clear the subtitle file
[Muxer] added button to clear the chapter file

[Zathor]

LoadPlugin("E:\D\software\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("F:\DVD_VOLUME\VIDEO_TS\iziwdfnu.2ow\VTS_01_PGC_02_1.d2v")



Thanks, so it does crash when opening the basic avs script. Could you add those two lines into an AVS script and open it in the AVS script creator? What happens?

Use for your tests this new version: http://megui.org/megui_debug.zip

[Zathor]

So it does crash there as well? Then it is an incompatibility outside of MeGUI which I cannot influence. Interestingly it does crash for you, while it does not crash for me.

let other people to test it too. I have no ploblem with "always use included avisynth" unchecked, but will crash when it is checked.

MeGUI x64 always wants to reinstalling DGIndexIM. Why is that so?
MeGUI x86 is not affected.

[hello_hello]

If you (incl. sumirecccp) tell me which X does not work or is missing I will check it.

Maybe we were talking about different X buttons.
Are these ones supposed to do something? They don't seem to clear anything for me. Same in AutoEncode. I think the X button in the audio section in the main window works.

I never used the OCE ... but maybe they are used to remove accidently added streams? So they only work when you clicked the '+' tab at least once? I don't have any material here right now...

They have been used to clean the "name" information in ancient times. I have them now removed in OneClick + the Muxers as they are useless.

I've been using MeGUI and found the one-click profile really helpful. One thing I noticed was that when transcoding audio e.g. FLAC -> AAC within video files, it doesn't retain attributes such as audio title name or language in the new video file with the transcoded audio. I'm not sure if the same happens with video but it does with audio.

Is it possible to make it so the attributes/metadata of the original audio stream are also transferred to the transcoded stream?

[Zathor]

Could you upload a sample file please?

[hello_hello]

Zathor,
I've briefly played around with the test version of MeGUI 2737 you linked to.
So far it's been behaving itself in respect to locking files..... naturally.... but the new Worker setup (which I'm still trying to get my head around) appears to have broken the right click "run in new temporary worker" option, which is killing me, and a little request while you're at it if I may.....

When right clicking on a job in the queue, each right click options effect only the selected job(s), aside from Abort. It aborts all running jobs which has caught me out a few times because it's inconsistent behaviour and I've clicked through the prompt without thinking. I think the same applies to the buttons at the bottom of the queue window.

I'll keep playing, eagerly awaiting the addition of a "pause" button for encoding in the next update. ;)

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback. The "temporary worker" issue is unintentional - I will have a look tomorrow and (hopefully) fix it.

Yes, I will have a look as well at the abort button. The confusion may be that abort is intended for the worker and the others for jobs. But as mentioned, I will check it.

Pause is a different story.

I had now the chance to test it myself. Temporary Workers still work as long as the rule set is fullfiled. I assume you want to overrule the rule set with temporary workers?

[hello_hello]

Zathor,
I don't know it it's my XP PC or not but if you'd care to look.....

Today I was opening a bunch of files in succession with the file indexer, pasting the same text into the script creator, and occasionally clicking the preview button before saving the script and adding it to the queue. I was indexing the jobs five at a time (in succession, so the result was five instances of the script creator open with a preview), pasting the desired text into each, clicking save to close and add to the queue, then indexing the next five. They were low resolution sources. I did that for 20 or so source files until MeGUI clapped out with an error message saying ffms2 couldn't be loaded due to lack of memory when I tried to index.

From there it'd do very little. It threw an out of memory error when I tried to save the log file and when I shut it down so it didn't write a log that was even remotely useful, but I did manage to manually copy a slab of entries from the "Avisynth" section and I checked a bunch of the previously opened source files and they were mostly locked. The Avisynth entries in the log specifying "closed" were few and far between (I should have taken a screenshot of that too). The part of the log file I copied doesn't seem to contain any.

If nothing seems obvious I wouldn't stress too much. This PC's overdue for a reformat. I could probably even use a downgrade to Windows 7 while I'm at it, but in case it's an obvious bug and fixable....

The zip file just includes the section of log file I managed to salvage and a screenshot. http://www.filedropper.com/meguilog

[Zathor]

New test build uploaded.
- temporary workers ignore now the worker rule set
- jobs can be suspended (and then resumed :))

The suspend feature is a "quicky". While it does seem to work - I have tested audio & video encodings - any kind of deeper test or polishing is missing. E.g. currently it is only available from within the progress window. However any kind of feedback is appreciated!

[hello_hello]

I had now the chance to test it myself. Temporary Workers still work as long as the rule set is fullfiled. I assume you want to overrule the rule set with temporary workers?

Yeah. I'm just used to being able to switch to the job queue and right click to run a job regardless of the worker situation and what's already running. It'd be good if temporary workers continued to work independently of the normal workers, but maybe I just need to understand the new setup better. I right clicked as usual to see a "no jobs waiting" message (or something along those lines) instead of the job in question just running as it normally would, especially as I was just trying to run an analysis pass (to find a hybrid NTSC source) while an encode was running.

So the maximum parallel jobs for a particular type/worker (one that's running) limits the temporary worker's ability to run new jobs?
I haven't played with it much yet but what if I have a worker configured for 2 parallel encoding jobs. Is there any way to only run one using that worker so I can then run a second encoding job in a temporary worker at my leisure, or will I need to create another worker?

Based on the screenshot you really run out of memory. However based on the log - if the last entry is the recent one - no avisynth thread was open at that time as the number of sessions was 0. It may be a memory leak in one of the avisynth plugins (e.g. ffms2). You can try to open again a number of avisynth threads and watch nearby the memory usage. When you close an avisynth thread the memory should go down again.

No, as written above this was a not desired feature (or bug) and a new build is already available where you can start as many temporary worker as you would like ignoring the automatic worker rules.

I'll have to play with that one a bit later but personally the only type of job I'm particularly interested in pausing is a video encoding one. The rest aren't usually CPU intensive or time consuming enough that it's an issue to wait until they finish in order to do something else.

[hello_hello]

Based on the screenshot you really run out of memory. However based on the log - if the last entry is the recent one - no avisynth thread was open at that time as the number of sessions was 0.

Yeah, I shut the two open instances of the script creator down before taking the screen shot to see if I'd get any memory back.
Any hints in that log file regarding locked source files?

It may be a memory leak in one of the avisynth plugins (e.g. ffms2). You can try to open again a number of avisynth threads and watch nearby the memory usage. When you close an avisynth thread the memory should go down again.

I'll give it a try, although that'll probably be a job for tomorrow so I can get something achieved today.

I've saved the log file to date and I'm running some encodes but would this be normal? Seems the trick might be to not add too many jobs in succession before starting an encode so I can have some memory back.

After indexing the first file (ffms2) and adding the job to the queue.

After indexing and adding the sixth job:

Immediately after starting encoding by right clicking on the last added job and selecting "run in temporary worker"

https://s2.postimg.org/dafv8oemx/memory3.gif

After MeGUI has added a job to the queue does the source file normally remain locked? I don't recall that being the case but the reason for the steps above was also to see if the files will be unlocked when encoding is done.... in an hour or so.... as according to Unlocker MeGUI has locked each one several times.

https://s2.postimg.org/k9tx81el5/unlocker.gif

I'll report back....

[hello_hello]

Here's a full log file Zather, http://www.filedropper.com/meguilogs
after having encoded the sixth file I added to the queue in my previous memory tests. After encoding finished, I checked that file with with Unlocker:

https://s16.postimg.org/bgy2qg3c5/Unlocker.gif

If the log file doesn't tell you anything, I'll just keep giving Unlocker a workout.

PS. I had intended to index each job, save the script, then add it to the queue for encoding before moving onto the next one, but I forgot to add the first two scripts to the queue until I'd indexed the third source file because I was busy watching memory usage, if that helps clarify the order I did things.

Thanks for all the hard work!

[hello_hello]

Zathor, I had a quick play with the new "suspend" function..... WhoooooHooooo!!!

A couple of thoughts, although you've probably thought them already....
The clock should stop and the fps guesstimate should do likewise.

Actually I'd like to see the fps guestimate far more responsive to changes in encoding speed. Currently if encoding speed was to drop by 50% it'd take minutes to be reflected in the progress window, but anyway....

WhoooooHooooo!!! Thanks Zathor!

[rhaz]

Both latest builds from dev server of MeGUI x32 and x64 crash when applying m2PA=true to your avs script and hitting Preview. MeGUI eats 100% CPU until it crashes.

Most basic scripts e.g.

LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("video.mkv", cachefile="video.ffindex", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
LoadPlugin("TIVTC.dll")
tdecimate(mode=2, rate=25, m2PA=true)

How do I fix/debug this?

[Zathor]

Please post the "versions" part of the log. Also try to run that AVS e.g. in VirtualDub (if you have AviSynth installed)

You're right, Vdub also crash. So what's going on? How do I apply m2PA=true?

[Zathor]

Are you using the new TIVTC from the recent avisynth_plugins pack of MeGUI = 1.0.8? If yes there may be the chance that printerf can fix it. Please post your problem here:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=82264&page=66
or send him a PM.

[Groucho2004]

You're right, Vdub also crash. So what's going on? How do I apply m2PA=true?
Define crash. Is there an error message? Have you read the documentation for m2PA? Here:
m2PA -

Will override the default read-ahead maximum of 100 for mode 2. This will allow the
one pass mode (metrics not available from an input file) to produce the same results
as if the metrics were available.

**NOTE: the cycle size could very well be in the 1000's or 10000's, so there is the
possibility setting m2PA=true could mean the processing will stall for quite
some time (5-10 minutes or more) when a new cycle starts!!! Please check the
largest cycle size that will be used using debug=true before setting m2PA=true!

true = override the default maximum
false = don't

Default: false (bool)


Run the script with AVSMeter and check memory usage.

[hello_hello]

You're right, Vdub also crash. So what's going on? How do I apply m2PA=true?

Is it crashing or just appearing to freeze because it's taking a long time to open? When m2PA=true it can take a while to open, and each time it reaches the end of a particular cycle everything will come to a halt again until it's analysed the next one.
You could swap TIVTC.dll for the old and well tested version to see what happens (assuming your MeGUI setup is using the far more recent version 1.06 or 1.08). http://avisynth.nl/index.php/TIVTC

Probably best not to apply m2PA=true though. Use a metrics file instead. It's easy enough.

LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("video.mkv", cachefile="video.ffindex", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
LoadPlugin("TIVTC.dll")
tdecimate(mode=4, Output="D:\some file.txt")

Create something like the above script and add it to the job queue using the "Queue Analysis Pass" button. Run it and the metrics file will be created. An analysis pass is pretty quick. Probably not any slower than using m2PA=true without a metrics file but usually more convenient.

Then modify the above script to the following and add it to the job queue for encoding:

LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("video.mkv", cachefile="video.ffindex", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
LoadPlugin("TIVTC.dll")
tdecimate(mode=2, rate=25, Input="D:\some file.txt")

When you add the analyses job/script to the queue, MeGUI checks it and an incomplete metrics file will be created. It'll be over-written when the analyses pass is run, but when that's completed, be careful not to load or preview the analyses script again or the metrics file will be be over-written with an incomplete version when MeGUI checks the script and you'll need to run the analysis pass again.

As a side note, if the source is 29.970fps as your script indicates, it more likely that you'd want to decimate it to 23.976fps. I'm not saying that's definitely the case, just that it's more common.

Does anybody else see the x265 encoder running under normal priority (8) even though priority is set to low in the status window, and avs4x26x.exe is running with low (4) priority? It's hard to see, but looking in process explorer it might be that avs4x26x is started in normal/8, but then switches to 4 just after x265 is started. Using MeGUI 2637.

edit: Feature request - it would be good if the file indexer could handle filenames that include the pgc number when extracted with dvdencrypter. Not often needed, but it would be convenient.

Using build 2637.

When extracting in ifo mode with dvddecrypter, normally the files look like:
VTS_01_0.IFO ; VTS_01_1.VOB ; VTS_01 - Chapter Information - OGG.txt ; VTS_01 - Stream Information.txt

When pgc numbers are included, the files are:
VTS_01_0.IFO ; VTS_01_PGC_01_1.VOB ; VTS_01_PGC_01 - Chapter Information - OGG.txt ; VTS_01_PGC_01 - Stream Information.txt

and when trying to use the file indexer on files ripped with pgc numbers included, opening VTS_01_0.IFO the file indexer can't find the VTS_01_PGC_01_1.VOB file.

[Zathor]

Using build 2637.

Then please in more details what you see when and how the default priority is configured (low?).

Because for me it does work. I have default priority to low, all processes start with low. If I then switch in the progress window to normal all 3 processes switch to normal.

Maybe it helps when you post your log (versions part).

Sorry, it was build 2737 apparently. I looked around for the version number and the changelog listed 2637 at the top, so I thought it was that. (And now, exactly _now_ I see that the version number is visible in the window title...)

The conhost process have always been priority 4 before when I have looked, don't know why that is different now on the screenshot - weird. When starting a separate encode in a temperary worker, avs4x26x runs in 4, conhost 4, and x265 in 8.

The processes all change priority immediately and to the intended value when switching in the drop down menu. For how long have that setting changed the priority instantly? Surely it hasn't "always" been like that? I haven't touched the priority setting after the latest upgrade anyway, probably not at all for several months, but I'm sure the encoders have been running at low all the time before.

[Zathor]

SInce 2727 also child processes will change the priority. however for me also the first job startup is already correct.

Hello
How can i add this settings? I using Megui 2525. Can you help me please?
aq=3:0.80 / aq-sensitivity=10.00 / aq-factor=1.00:1.00:1.00 / aq2=0 / aq3=0

[sneaker_ger]

Those options are not part of the vanilla x264 that comes with MeGUI. Probably something like (outdated?) x264 tMod (https://astrataro.wordpress.com/category/encode/x264/x264-bin/) was used. You need to replace x264, not let MeGUI overwrite it and manually set those custom command-line options.

[LigH]

1) Why use an outdated MeGUI version? Switch the update server to "development" to get the most current.

2) Which encoder do these options belong to? Neither x264 nor x265, as far as I read in their documentation (at least unmodified versions).

aq=3:0.80 / aq-sensitivity=10.00 / aq-factor=1.00:1.00:1.00 / aq2=0 / aq3=0

AQ mode 3 was added to the vanilla x264 years ago https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2014-December/010949.html
but it seems to have been somewhat ignored. It's never been added to MeGUI's encoder configuration. You can only select Adaptive Quantiser Mode - Disabled (0), Variance AQ (1) or Auto-Variance AQ (2).

aq=3:0.80 should be easy enough to achieve by adding --aq-mode 3 to the custom command line section of the encoder configuration and setting Adaptive Quantiser Strength to 0.8 under the rate control tab. When you'd want to do either, I'm not sure, but that's how you'd do it.

I agree the rest of the settings are specific to an old, modded version of x264. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170599
They're not settings the vanilla x264 writes. If they're still relevant they're obviously not user-adjustable.

The current MeGUI version is 2737 and x264 r2744 (Komisar).

You can test aq=3:0.80, like hello_hello say:

aren't supported by x264 r2744 (Komisar), you need replace it.

[dissory]

Thanks, it is fixed in 2638 (not online yet).

Thanks, can see the title now.

Also with the files mediainfos I posted before, the input file is FLAC1, FLAC2, AAC but output becomes FLAC1-transcoded, AAC, FLAC2-transcoded?

Is there a reason why the audio tracks shift position in the output file? If not, would be nice to keep it in the same positions as the input file

Thanks, updated

I am getting audio breakup when multiplexing HE-AAC encoded with QAAC.exe v2.63 and HEVC in MeGUI. I downloaded v2.63 from another source with the same result. I have gone back to the QAAC backup in MeGUI, which is I think v2.62, and no problems.

i'm encoding 6ch dts to 2ch lc-aac (fdkaac 32bit exe, v0.6.3, fdkaac_autobuild-master), decoder is LWLibavAudioSource().
win10 x64, megui 2741, all updates, uses its avs+ portable.

its so-o-o slow, megui only uses 12% cpu, fdkaac 1-2% cpu (6700k).
anything i can do to speed it up?

PS:
i also wanted to build and try fdkaac 64bit exe.
media-autobuild_suite-master is the only option for that, right?
but it fails to create 64bit compiler, one of the files doesn't pass signature check. so no luck with that either.

[Zathor]

Small one:
2743 [Worker] improved child process priority handling
2742 [Main] improved OS detection

Thanks for the report. I had after your first report enabled 2.62 again and will later-on enable 2.64.

QAAC.exe 2.64 appears to be working fine without audio breakup problems when HE-AAC is multiplexed with HEVC. Thanks to everyone.

Hi, I have a powerfull dedicated server, so i should run +4 worker for use maximum cpu usage, But I got this error eachtime:

https://picload.org/thumbnail/riddrgga/capture.jpg (https://picload.org/view/riddrgga/capture.png.html)

I am very familiar with this error, this error forced us to close MeGui but when i click OK/Close this error, Megui completely crash and not responding , but H.264 encoders stuck in the processores in task manager and we should stop them! look at this pics so i clicked "OK" and then:


https://picload.org/thumbnail/riddrgii/capture.jpg (https://picload.org/view/riddrgii/capture.png.html)

Well have no choice and click "Close Program" and Megui is completely closed but look at this , x264 enocder still being worked out in task manager and uses cpu but the application is closed :

https://picload.org/image/riddrrdi/capture.png (https://picload.org/view/riddrrdi/capture.png.html)

When this error occurs ? i tell you! I wish I could say clearly

i have 4 worker , and 20 job is "waiting" for encoding , i postponded 19 job and click start in megui , No problem so far at this time, look at this , We look forward too end first worker but , when first worker on 99% and ready too mux audi and video , i change status another jobs to "waiting" And at the same time we hit Start and another worker waking up, Exactly at this moment ,i got this god damn fatal error ! i use dev update and last update, i got more thant this error to the previous, For God's sake, fix error, And finally sorry for my english. and thanks,

Are you sure that you have copied both files? There should have been line numbers.

[Vincent Vega]

Sorry, no clue. I am not using fdkaac myself. What about qaac? Do you have there the same speed?



yes i just tried both megui x86 and x64 with 64bit qaac, same result.
total cpu usage during encoding no more than 17-18%, is that normal?
i decode dts, downmix to stereo, normalize and encode to aac.

are there any settings i can change on my side, or improvements be made on yours to utilize (more of) the remaining ~5/6 of cpu power?
where are software bottlenecks in this usage scenario?]

I just discovered that some of my encodes muxed with the mp4 muxer have been stripped of encoder library and encoder settings info, checking with MediaInfo. This seems to happen when I use the muxer manually - files encoded with AutoEncode or One-Click still have this info intact.

[hello_hello]

This is probably not MeGUI specific, and it's not even encoding related, but because it bothered me again and sometimes makes me want to cry and MeGUI is involved, I thought I'd ask here.
If I open the following script in notepad (it has empty lines)

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)

gradfun3()

and place the cursor at the beginning of the the crop line, and drag it down until the empty line below the resizer is highlighted, when I right click and cut, I'm left with this:

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

gradfun3()

Which is good, I think.

When I do the same thin in MeGUI's script creator.

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)


gradfun3()

As it turns out, the forum message box leaves an extra blank line too.

When I do it the other way around and paste (putting the cursor before Gradfun3 and clicking paste) if I've cut from notepad the result is exactly the same when pasting back into notepad or the script creator.

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)

gradfun3()

All good, but if I'd cut the same lines from the script creator and pasted them back, in both notepad and the script creator it'd look like this (assuming the lines were once again evenly spaced before pasting):

GreyScale()

QTGMC(Preset="fast")

SRestore(thresh=44, speed=1, cache=10)

crop(4, 2, -4, -6)

Resize8(640,468)
gradfun3()

I guess Notepad, Wordpad and Metapad (which I use more) copy the line break from an empty line when it's highlighted, but the script creator (and this forum) require you to also highlight the beginning of the following line to copy the line break from an empty line.

Is there a correct way, or a preferred way? Because I'm not sure what'll be copied any more and my life's become a relentless stress of extra blank lines and missing line breaks I'm forever having to fix. :)

x264 r2833 kmod is released.
http://komisar.gin.by/

[hello_hello]

Zathor,

After updating MeGUI to 2748 and x264 to r2833, MeGUI claimed it couldn't find 10 bit x264 & embarked on a never ending request to install it. Even when I told it not to, every time I started an encoding job the updater would open and try to re-install it. I'm using the 8 bit version though. I just thought I'd mention that in case it's not expected behaviour, but the x86 version of 10 bit x264 is named "x264-10b.exe.exe".
Removing the additional ".exe" from the file name stopped MeGUI from wanting to re-install it.

Thanks.

[Taurus]

@hello_hello:
hmmh,
just updated to 2748 and no sign of the curiosities you discovered.
There must be something weird on your side...

[hello_hello]

Taurus,
Maybe it's been fixed already or you're using a 64 bit Windows, but the curiosities were baked into the 32 bit, x264, 7z update file. ;)

I have stumbled upon exactly same thing. Being on Windows 7 32bit update installed files as "x264-10b.exe.exe" and it also installed it in the "x264" dir not in the "x264_10b" dir. Leaving new file in the "x264" dir and renaming it to ""x264-10b.exe" fixed the problem of missing x264 binary.

[LigH]

T...but the curiosities were baked into the 32 bit, x264, 7z update file. ;)

So it seems to be a mistake made by the one who uploaded the update package.

[hello_hello]

"Installing in the x264 directory" is normal now. You can delete the old "x264_10b" folder. Both x264 versions are in the "x264-2833-32.7z" file in the update cache folder and the update.xml file indicates it just gets extracted to the x264 folder.

I don't know how MeGUI determined the 10bit x264 was missing (or thought it was missing because it was incorrectly named), and therefore wanted to keep re-installing it. Obviously it did though.

[bxyhxyh]

Every time I uncheck and check "Use x64tools if possible" option, it "extracts" the tools.
Does it have to re-extract them everytime I switch between 32-bit and 64-bit?
Looks like a bug to me.

Hello,
I have a few questions about DXVA. Can you help me if you know about that?
I did not select Macroblocks P4x4 value and it seen as Mediainfo analyse=0x3:0x113 before.
And REF value calculated with that formula:
12288*1024 / (width*height*1,5)

But now all of the groups (TayTO, EDP, WiKi, EPiC, HDMANIACS...) using this settings (ALL analyse=0x3:0x133) on their movie sharings.
Macroblocks part selected ass ALL (analyse=0x3:0x133)

I wonder that will there be any problem if i select Macroblocks ALL for DXVA
Thanks

We have 2audio at the same time like this :


#1: English 1.0ch FLAC
#2: English 1.0ch AAC @ 192 Kbps (Commentary by Michael Powell and Martin Scorsese)

if we encode with "nero aac", Megui choose "Commentary track" for defaul track audio, when this happened ? when commentary track and audio encoder is = AAC

This is one of the oldest bug in megui, and hope the problem is resolved in future updates. thanks.

Does it have to re-extract them everytime I switch between 32-bit and 64-bit?
This is necessary as the 32bit and 64bit share usually the same file name. So if you select 32bit the 32bit ones have to be extracted (+ downloaded if not available yet). If you switch to 64bit the 64bit files have to extracted to replace the 32bit ones. Out of interest - why do you switch between them so often?

Could we not have the entire "Add pre-rendering job" text be an active selection area for the checkbox? I find myself accidentally clicking there and wasting hours filling my drive a little too often.
What do you mean with "active selection"? A message box to pop-up as a warning? Or to hide it by default?

Please provide more details. I do not know where you do have that problem (OneClick) and how to reproduce it. Also a (small) sample file would be nice.

@Zathor,

Is this something that can be fixed regarding the shift in audio track positions?


Also with the files mediainfos I posted before, the input file is FLAC1, FLAC2, AAC but output becomes FLAC1-transcoded, AAC, FLAC2-transcoded?

Is there a reason why the audio tracks shift position in the output file? If not, would be nice to keep it in the same positions as the input file

[Zathor]

@Zathor,

Hi all:

Seems that after the last couples of updates downmix multichannel to stereo is
somehow deprecated, although conversion don't crash it last forever and must be cancel.
No problem in doing the downmix outside Megui, with the Eac3to in Megui folder.

Thanks.

[Thunderbolt8]

would it be possible to implement better x265 GUI support? currently you can only choose between the presents or use the cmd line. there are no nice windows with knobs to play with (for people unfamiliar with the cmd line options) like there are in case with x264

[LigH]

I believe, previously Zathor hesitated to implement more basic parameters while x265 was in heavy development, and the set of command line options changing a lot. Already in v2.4 now, I hope that the most common parameters are quite stable now, I would dare him to be a little bolder too. ;)

[sneaker_ger]

It doesn't really make much sense. There are a bazillion "knobs". People who are too lazy to read the documentation and just want "to play" will only shoot themselves in the foot.

[LigH]

Then why did it make sense to support so many for x264?

I don't recommend to implement all of them. There is still the "custom command line". But a few commonly used, similar to x264, could be added?

[sneaker_ger]

Then why did it make sense to support so many for x264?
Who said it did? :p

(though I believe x265 is more complicated than x264)

[Thunderbolt8]

It doesn't really make much sense. There are a bazillion "knobs". People who are too lazy to read the documentation and just want "to play" will only shoot themselves in the foot.well "to play" was rather poorly worded. Im just looking for some rather basic stuff like deblocking options to set, number of reference frames and blu-ray compatibility. these could be useful even for people knowing not that much about encoding.

[hello_hello]

I'll confess I like the way the advanced options are implemented in the x264 encoder configuration, because when you change a speed preset or tuning etc the appropriate advanced options are changed to their new defaults, making it easy to see which settings they use. If ever I need to know for some reason but I can't remember, that's where I look.

Hi Zathor, I hope you're well :) . Please, would you return "L-SMASH Works" as an indexing option for VC-1 video? It used to be possible but currently it's grayed-out. Thank you.

That's interesting. Some years ago (Edit: it was May 2015) when I first tried to encode VC-1 video with MeGUI I had trouble with both FFMS and L-SMASH. Muxing the VC-1 as an .mkv led to artifacts in the output using either indexer. However, after much trial and error, I learned that muxing VC-1 as a .ts file then indexing with L-SMASH output artifact-free video (not the case with VC-1/.ts and FFMS; this output still had artifacts). So that's been my goto method for VC-1 sources. It's been about a year since last I did this, but a couple new-to-me Blu-rays are VC-1 and I'm again encountering artifacts using FFMS and .mkv. I realize that this isn't an issue with MeGUI, and it might not even be an issue with FFMS but instead an issue with my specific setup (multi-threading, perhaps?). If it comes to it I could single-thread any new VC-1 sources, but I'd prefer not to. Is there any way in MeGUI you can still have VC-1 video defualt to FFMS but also allow L-SMASH as an option? I find myself curious to check if VC-1/.ts/L-SMASH still works for me. Or is there any way you know to index a VC-1/.ts with L-SMASH independent of MeGUI (not to veer off-topic ;) ). Thanks for your help.

[hello_hello]

LouieChuckyMerry,
Both FFMs and L-Smash will index automatically if no index file is found. Simply create a script yourself such as
LWLibavVideoSource("D:\video.mkv")
and video.mkv will be indexed the first time you run it.

Are you limiting ffms2 to a single thread (there's an option in MeGUI's settings)? In my experience it fixes a lot of ffms2 problems. ie
FFVideoSource("D:\video.mkv", threads=1)
and remove any fpsnum & fpsden stuff MeGUI is adding to the script for ffms2 if you haven't tried it already.

I'll try this as soon as I can demux then remux the videos as .ts files. Thanks :) .

Update: After indexing several of the VC-1/.ts files with FFMS, then changing the "LoadPlugin()" line from ffms2.dll to LSMASHSource.dll and the "FFVideoSource" to "LWLibavVideoSource", I ran some 2000 frame Trim tests. The results are great, no artifacts. So, as a workaround I created a new profile by adding these lines to an existing profile and renaming it accordingly. I still hope that Zathor is willing to return "LSMASHWorks" as a non-default option for VC-1 video :) .

FFMS is limited to a single thread and I'll run a Trim test with the fpsnum and fpsden and threads additions removed. Thanks for the idea.

Update: I'll run some tests ASAP and post the results.

UpdateUpdate: I was finally able to run some tests. An FFMS/.ts combination resulted in much more (and worse) artifacts, with or without the fpsnum and fpsden and threads addition; an FFMS/.mkv combination resulted in the same artifacts (and frequency), with or without the fpsnum and fpsden and threads addition. Also, the results were the same regardless of indexing the source with video and audio or only video. Still, thanks for the thought :) . Ahhh, were you suggesting removing the "fpsnum" and "fpsden" additions but keeping the "threads" bit?

MeGUI sometimes completly crash for me when I encode some audiofiles.
It does preparation fine, the encode is fine, even the final outputfile is complete and plays fine, but the finish step makes MeGUI crash. For some reason not always.
Currently I observe it for mp3 and ac3 output and 32-Bit and 64-Bit version of MeGUI.
The log is not that helpful, it ends at the encoding step:

So maybe the Crashdmp ist somehow more helpful. I uploaded here:

The avs Script just looks like that:

__film = last
__t0 = __film.trim(67380, 75020)

Could you please upload also your full log or at least the versions block?

[Morku]

Sure. It's from a "well closed MeGUI", because logfiles when MeGUI crashs contains 'Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.'

i changed xvid_encraw.exe (MeGUI-2755-32\tools\xvid_encraw).
But Megui Error:
xvid_encraw.exe has stopped working

Maybe there is different solution

[Barough]

Beats me then...... been ages since i encoded any xvid with megui or anything else for that matter.

The Script Creator's Preview's frame count and duration calculations are off by a frame. The frame numbers and timings are correct, but the totals are a frame short.

http://preview.ibb.co/bS2Z05/preview.gif

I normally wouldn't have noticed or cared, but I've been encoding some BBC NTSC videos where I'd been de-interlacing the video sections and deblending the 25fps sections with SRestore and encoding as VFR. I was using MeGUI's preview to check the SRestore sections had much the same duration as if I'd simply de-interlaced, then adjusting the Trim lengths a little if need be. ie

Yadif(mode=1)
Trim(1,114).SRestore()
Would ideally have the same duration as:

Yadif(mode=1)
Trim(1,114).SelectEven()

For that example I think MeGUI's preview said the difference was 11ms while Avisynth says 19ms. Not much variation there I'll admit, but it can add up and I'd been so anal about it, only to put Info() at the end of a script and discover MeGUI had been fibbing.

2760 [OneClick] cosmetics
2759 [OneClick] improved handling of audio tracks:
- FLAC encodings use the HD track instead of the core if possible. Feature request #610
- fixed demux of multiple audio tracks using the same input track (eac3to only)
- fixed handling of TrueHD+AC3 tracks if using an intermediate MKV file
2758 [Muxer] removed dtshd and dtsma file extension and added eac3 and thd+ac3 file extension where suitable
[MediaInfo] improved audio codec/type detection
2757 [L-SMASH Indexer] improved error handling
2756 [Chapter] added a workaround for MediaInfo sometimes not detecting all chapters in MPLS files (regression of 2753)

If is really important put the full log of your crash (to know OS, script and command line parameters) and a link to the Xvid version than want use (I don't found that old version).

[olmicx]

If is really important put the full log of your crash (to know OS, script and command line parameters) and a link to the Xvid version than want use (I don't found that old version).

There is error at HVS Masking: Lumi setting. I using Megui 2760.
I changed xvid_encraw folder with this link

[Zathor]

It may help to change the masking settings. If not:
The last version with support for that ancient xvid version was MeGUI 2546. Either use xvid 1.3.x with the recent MeGUI or xvid 1.2.x with MeGUI 2546 (or older).

Btw why do you want to use such an old version?

[Morku]

Anything new about my crashing MeGUI at the step "[job1] Finalizing encoder" for audiofiles?
Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.

Or it's my PC? :confused:

[Zathor]

Sorry, I cannot help much with that as AviSource + DirectShowSource may lead to unpredicted behaviour. Test it again with a simple script - e.g. lsmash with the extracted audio track and report back.

There is error at HVS Masking: Lumi setting. I using Megui 2760.
I changed xvid_encraw folder with this link
http://megui.tmebi.de/test/xvid_encraw-2009-05-30.zip
The HVS Masking error is related to Job 1, see later.

The error in Job 4:

I can't reproduce the error in my system (W 7, last Avs+, your xvid_encraw) and this .bat encode:

I used "eqm_v3ulr_rev3.xcm" from https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=551562#post551562 because I don't have any ...megui\matrices folder and don't found eqm_v3lr.xcm

Do you have MeGUI-2760-32 X121UOF\matrices\eqm_v3lr.xcm?

Try to make a .bat file with:

"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\MeGUI-2760-32 X121UOF\tools\xvid_encraw\xvid_encraw.exe" -i "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\NYZGL\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.avs" -pass1 "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\NYZGL\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.stats" -bitrate 1593 -max_key_interval 250 -chigh 30 -clow 15 -max_bframes 1 -bquant_ratio 162 -bquant_offset 0 -vhqmode 4 -bvhq -qmatrix "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\MeGUI-2760-32 X121UOF\matrices\eqm_v3lr.xcm" -nopacked -imin 1 -bmin 1 -pmin 1 -threads 2 -par 1

And run it. If also crash is not a MeGUI problem.

Anything new about my crashing MeGUI at the step "[job1] Finalizing encoder" for audiofiles?

Try this script:
AVISource("1.avi", audio=true).AssumeFPS(25,1)
trim(75033, 95033)
KillVideo()
SSRC(48000)
Normalize()

[Morku]

Try this script:
AVISource("1.avi", audio=true).AssumeFPS(25,1)
trim(75033, 95033)
KillVideo()
SSRC(48000)
Normalize()

Gives error: Error parsing avs file
Input audio sample format to SSRC must be float. line 4

Without "SSRC(48000)", finalizing step makes MeGUI crash, too.

Next try, adding "ConvertAudioToFloat()"
AVISource("1.avi", audio=true).AssumeFPS(25,1)
trim(75033, 95033)
KillVideo()
ConvertAudioToFloat()
SSRC(48000)
Normalize()

MeGUI crash already by trying to open the avs file.

I also tried changing 'Prefered Decoder' from LWLibavAudioSource to NicAudio and DirectShow, but it still crash at finalizing.
There I found a little cosmetic bug. Changing to FFAudioSource, DirectShowSource and BassAudio and close MeGUI normally, the Prefered Decoder keeps saved. Changing to NicAudio, MeGUI changes Prefered Decoder to LWLibavAudioSource after restart MeGUI (currently testing with 32-Bit version).

Soooooo last try. I extracted wav with VirtualDub, put wav into Audio Input, Queue, Start, Encoding, Finalizing and crash...
Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.

It may help to change the masking settings. If not:
The last version with support for that ancient xvid version was MeGUI 2546. Either use xvid 1.3.x with the recent MeGUI or xvid 1.2.x with MeGUI 2546 (or older).

Btw why do you want to use such an old version?

Encode is better quality with the sharpening filter in the old version


And run it. If also crash is not a MeGUI problem.

This job crash showing xvid_encraw HELP because the -masking parameter is not supported by this old xvid_encraw, yes with the MeGUI default:

-masking [integer] : HVS masking mode (None:0, Lumi:1, Variance:2) (0)

i deleted -masking 1 value and added -lumimasking.
problem fixed. now i am using xvid_encraw-2009-05-30.
thanks:)

... I extracted wav with VirtualDub,..

Maybe the audio is not a PCM WAV.

To extract audio from avi use ..\megui\tools\avimux_gui\AVIMux_GUI.exe

- Load avi

- Select desired audio track (remember Delay if any)
- Right click mouse button
- Extract binary

Gives error: Error parsing avs file

I extracted a .raw file like you described with AVIMux-GUI.exe. It can't be loaded in MeGUI. Renaming to .wav doesn't work neither.

Hm... seems like, it doesn't.

[tebasuna51]

MediaIno reports for the avi file:

Do you have a avi file of 58 GB?
That can be a problem.

Try:

...\megui\tools\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i "1.avi" -vn -acodec pcm_s16le audio.wav

Hm... seems like, it doesn't.

Yep, seems a Avs+ bug, I must report it.

-[Information] Version: AviSynth+ 0.1 (r2508, MT, i386)
-[Information] AviSynth+: true
-[Information] MT: true
-[Information] Status: active

Work fine with AviSynth 2.60

BTW the input is already 48000 Hz then the SSRC(48000) is not needed.

[Morku]

Filesize is 68,1GB, but it never was a problem in past.

Now I think we are on the right track.

I replaced AVS+ with AVS260 ICL build.

When I load my avs and start encoding, I get an error:
--[Error] [03.07.2017 14:48:08] An error occurred: Input audio sample format to SSRC must be float.

Your example script still won't load, because of float error. So you are sure, it's a bug in AVS+?

This is interesting, because like you said my input already is 48000 Hz.
I wonder why it is a problem to keep the option "Sample Rate: Change to 48000 Hz".
When I check the log, MeGUI is able to detect when no change is needed, like this:
--[Information] [03.07.2017 14:48:07] ignoring downmix as there is only 2 channel(s)

So, I changed the option Sample Rate to: Keep Original Sample Rate.
Loaded my avs files and every audio encoding is fine! No Finalizing crash anymore!
Hz output is as input 48000 Hz.
But I like to keep the option Change to 48000 Hz for the case if input is not 48000 Hz and I don't need to check if I have to change the option.

So, going back to AVS+ r2508
now, keep the option to "Keep Original Sample Rate" and tried all my scripts in Queue twice. No crashes anymore!

[sneaker_ger]

The SSRC() and float thing is because of AviSynth+:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1669953#post1669953

So maybe ConvertAudioToFloat() should always be added. Or does it hurt when audio is already float?
But I believe SSRC() doesn't always work anyways. Sometimes you need ResampleAudio().

[tebasuna51]

I replaced AVS+ with AVS260 ICL build.
...

Yes, work fine with AVS260 ICL build.

Check your log to see what is the active AviSynth version in MeGUI, seems than now use the Avs+ portable.

When I check the log, MeGUI is able to detect when no change is needed, like this:
--[Information] [03.07.2017 14:48:07] ignoring downmix as there is only 2 channel(s)

Maybe MeGUI can do the same checking SampleRate to avoid
ConvertAudioToFloat(last)
SSRC(48000)

Something like:
48000==AudioRate(last)?last:ConvertAudioToFloat(last).SSRC(48000)

So, going back to AVS+ r2508
now, keep the option to "Keep Original Sample Rate" and tried all my scripts in Queue twice. No crashes anymore!

At least you have a workaround, but still remain the problem if we need SSRC(48000).

[Morku]

No, I replaced portable, too and SSRC(48000) did not work.

Zather, the 8 bit version of x264 v2851 for 32 bit Windows is named x264.exe.exe in the 7z update file again, so MeGUI unpacks it and then wants to install it again when it can't find x264.exe and around in circles it goes.... ;)

Thanks.

PS. For anyone else who bumps into the problem before Zather replaces the update file, just rename "x264.exe.exe" in the "MeGUI\tools\x264" folder as "x264.exe" and restart MeGUI.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Looks like zathor is using "hide file extensions ..." option in explorer. This would explain why files end up with duplicated extensions.

[hello_hello]

Last time it happened x264-10b.exe was named x264-10b.exe.exe and x264.exe was okay (they're both in the same 7z file) and this time it's the other way round. You're probably right though.

Thanks for the report. The file extensions are visible for me - I simply have renamed them in a wrong way as I was (as always) in a hurry. Let us see what will happen the next time :-)

[Zathor]

I also tried changing 'Prefered Decoder' from LWLibavAudioSource to NicAudio and DirectShow, but it still crash at finalizing.
There I found a little cosmetic bug. Changing to FFAudioSource, DirectShowSource and BassAudio and close MeGUI normally, the Prefered Decoder keeps saved. Changing to NicAudio, MeGUI changes Prefered Decoder to LWLibavAudioSource after restart MeGUI (currently testing with 32-Bit version).
Thanks, fixed in 2762

Zathor,
Are there any plans to add one more frame to the total frame count and duration displayed by MeGUI's preview? :)
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1810823#post1810823
I guess the frame count could be correct if you look at frame 44460 being the last frame in my screenshot and not the total number of frames, but the duration probably should be the same as the duration Avisynth displays.

And was I imagining things or did you give us a button to pause encoding and then take it away? Or was that just a test build? I'm sure I wasn't dreaming...

Thanks for the hard work.

It starts with frame number 0 and therefore it goes to the total number of frames - 1. So a video with 10 frames goes from 0 to 9. I could change it to start with number 1 but most (all?) avisynth frame functions are 0-based. Am I wrong here?

And was I imagining things or did you give us a button to pause encoding and then take it away? Or was that just a test build? I'm sure I wasn't dreaming...
You should not update your build with the MeGUI updater :) and instead each time you should use this build: http://megui.org/megui_test.zip I update it also each time with a new public release. I will commit it to the development branch as soon as I feel it is ready - but this will not happen before the next stable release.
Btw the test build is what I am using in my "production".

After upgrading to the latest builds of MeGUI and x264, any encode done is at 10-bit, even though the checkbox in the presets I use enabling 10-bit is *not* checked. After further investigation it appears that the builds have been misnamed - the new x264.exe should be named x264-10b.exe, and the new x264-10b.exe should be named x264.

https://image.ibb.co/h3s5ua/x264_switch.png

[hello_hello]

You're not wrong, but for a video with ten frames, MeGUI would display frame #3 as 3/9 whereas Info() says 3 of 10.
If you go to the tenth frame (frame number 9), MeGUI displays 9/9 while Info() says 9 of 10.

I'd always assumed MeGUI displays frames as x/y the same way Avisynth does.
ie "something of something"
Even though the frame count starts at zero it never occurred to me it might effectively mean
"something of something -1"

Same for the time positions. ie
Assumefps(25)
Trim(0,9)
10 frames x 40ms = 400ms

At frame #3 Avisynth/Info() says:
00:00:00:120/00:00:00:400
MeGUI says:
00:00:00:120/00:00:00:360

Different ways of looking at it... but I'll confess I prefer the Avisynth method, especially for the "time positions". Knowing the total duration can be quite useful, but knowing (total duration - (1000ms/fps)).... maybe not so much. :)

If you go to the tenth frame (frame number 9), MeGUI displays 9/9 while Info() says 9 of 10.
I still think that Info() is displaying it in a wrong way but... I have changed it now. However you wont be able to reach frame 11 (10 of 10).

[olmicx]

I am using FFmpeg AC-3 Preferred Decoder: NicAudio for audio encode. (DTS-->448AC3, 640AC3-->448AC3)
Megui 2764. Which is the best audio decoder? NicAudio, FFAudioSource, DirectShow, BassAudio, LWLibavAudioSource

[Zathor]

LWLibavAudioSource is the default one. DirectShow should be avoided.

[hello_hello]

I still think that Info() is displaying it in a wrong way but... I have changed it now. However you wont be able to reach frame 11 (10 of 10).

You can't reach frame 11 with Info() either, but I think it's probably best that MeGUI and Avisynth display that sort of thing the same way.
It'd never occurred to me until recently they didn't. Well I kind of knew, because you only have to navigate to the end of a clip to see something like 40582/40582 at the top of the preview, but for some reason when it came to calculating frame totals or durations it never stuck and my brain defaulted to the Info() way of looking at it.

Do you know what the logic is behind starting the frame count at zero rather than one? I assume it's because it makes more sense to a computer.

Thanks for the changes!

[stax76]

If you want to know exactly this probably fits best:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

[hello_hello]

Thanks for the link. I think I understood a portion of it, but I guess I was really asking why Avisynth doesn't translate it's counting convention into human counting convention when displaying frame numbers with Info() etc as it does for the total number of frames. If it did when you entered a frame number in a script it'd have to subtract 1, but is there a reason that would've been hard, or maybe not considered to be worth the effort etc?

[sneaker_ger]

Most plugins expect zero based frame numbers anyways. It would be even more confusing if info() used a different system. Like you said it didn't even occur to you until recently. Exactly because of that.

[LigH]

Some calculations are much easier if the offset is zero-based.

And programmers can handle that. -- Aren't AviSynth users all programmers, a little bit? ;)

[StainlessS]

First frame @ Start Time + (0 / FrameRate) secs.
Last frame @ Start Time + ((Framecount-1) / FrameRate) secs.

Also, if you have a printer that prints @ 300DPI, then to print a line that is exactly 1" long, requires 301 dots (601 for 2").

Incidentally, there are 12 inches in a Foot, but there are 13 inch apart graduations on a 12" ruler (dont forget 0 inches).

EDIT: Ignoring all other graduations other than full inch grads (ie not 1 + 1/8 -> 2 + 1/8, being also an inch apart).
S_G link below is Access Denied, site does not allow hot linking.
So HERE (same image):- https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/desktop-items/12clear-lacquer-wood-ruler.htm

The grads at 0 inches and 12 inches are clearly visible (despite that particular ruler being about an 1/8 inch short at each end
compared to most other wooden 12" rulers).

EDIT: Many 12" rulers today seem to be missing the extra end bits (or only a millimeter or so extra, perhaps economizing):- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=twelve+inch+wooden+ruler&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiugYGDifPUAhVhF8AKHUBgDbIQ7AkIuwE&biw=1280&bih=821&dpr=1#imgrc=GmkwF5khecnLlM:

No, there aren't. (https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/desktop-items/12clear-lacquer-wood-ruler-jumboextralarge.jpg)

[hello_hello]

Most plugins expect zero based frame numbers anyways. It would be even more confusing if info() used a different system. Like you said it didn't even occur to you until recently. Exactly because of that.

I knew MeGUI and Avisynth both started counting frames at zero, it's just the way they displayed the total that was different, because MeGUI displayed the last frame number instead of the total.

Plus... displaying "current frame/last frame" rather than "current frame/total frames" almost seems kind of arbitrary. I'm not sure the last frame is so special I need to see it's frame number all the time. Displaying "current frame/middle frame" wouldn't be any less logical and it'd make it easier to navigate to the middle of the video.

Thinking back I'm sure I remember occasions where I've had to calculate a duration or frame count and after feeling mathematically challenged, realised I needed to add a frame or a frame's duration to the "totals" MeGUI was displaying, so it's not really a new discovery, but something I appear to be forced to re-discover every so often, although now Zathor's changed it for me the old method will probably stick at last, and I'll have to re-discover how it works again in 6 months time.

No, there aren't. (https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/desktop-items/12clear-lacquer-wood-ruler-jumboextralarge.jpg)

See how confusing this zero based counting is?? ;)

If the ruler represented a video frame per inch and the left tip of the ruler represented frame zero, the ruler would be displaying 12 frames. You'd have to assume the 12 inch mark on the ruler only represents the end of frame number 11, or the end of the 12th frame, as frame number 12 has no duration. Unless the ruler was one of those with an extra 1/4 inch either end, in which case ffms2 and LSmash would probably assume it's a 13 frame, variable frame rate ruler, and decode it at a constant 0.94" frame rate, so you'd need to add FPSNum=1.0" and FPSDen=1 to maintain audio sync, or extract the ruler timecodes to use when muxing etc. :)

[StainlessS]

If the ruler represented a video frame per inch and the left tip of the ruler represented frame zero, the ruler would be displaying 12 frames.

A single frame has zero duration [EDIT: representing a single instant in time], like a pixel is an infinitely small sample, also a printer dot is like a pixel, of zero dimension (theoretically of course).

@ 12 FPS, you need 13 frames to span 1.0 second exactly. [EDIT: So a frame ~= a ruler grad : time ~= distance between any two grads]

[LigH]

Formal objection...

A frame is displayed with a duration of 1/framerate before the next frame appears. If it had 0 duration, every movie would have a playtime of 0 (because 0 * x = 0). A frame does not represent an infinitely short duration, it has a shutter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter#Optical_devices) time (maybe except for stop-motion clips, cartoons, or simple computer graphic movies which don't care about that, thus don't use motion blur).

And a pixel has a width of 1/resolution. If every pixel had a dimension of 0, there would be no visible pictures.

[sneaker_ger]

A single frame has zero duration
Naturally, we assign a duration to it (or construct something with the shutter duration like LigH said). Then at 12 fps we use exactly 12 frames to cover exactly 1 second. Like the ruler.

[StainlessS]

Nope, theoretically, a pixel has zero dimension, of course in reality on eg monitor display or printer dot on printed page, they do have some physical size.
In instance of printer dot, you can actually measure it, print 72 dots on eg 72 DPI 9 pin dot matrix printer, and it will be just
under 1 inch in length, print that 1 extra dot and it will be bang on exactly 1 inch (100% for sure).

Talking about shutter speed etc, is confusing the issue with technicalities and limitations of the technologies currently used.

And a pixel has a width of 1/resolution. If every pixel had a dimension of 0, there would be no visible pictures.

Nope, theoretically, that is spacing between infinitely small samples that gives dimension, and time between frames that produces duration.

EDIT: It may well be practice to display a single frame for a certain duration, eg 1 frame @ 24FPS = 1/24 sec duration, but the
frame itself has 0.0 duration.
Watching a movie where you had 24 frames per second, each of which was displayed for 0.0 seconds, would not make for interesting viewing.

EDIT: Where last frame is displayed for 1/FPS secs (and not 0.0 secs), then I guess I have to do a little back-peddling and admit to being wrong (to some degree) :( [Although total time elapsed between first and last frame captured, is that of one frame less then total displayed time.)

https://s10.postimg.org/6vzo24p49/frame3.jpg (https://postimg.org/image/q12xbw3s5/)
Above, on last frame, total time elapsed between first and last frame captured is 0.958 secs, but due to each frame being displayed for an extended (and false duration, imitating persistence of vision), so total display duration is 1.0 seconds (or ever so slightly less as any next frame would start at 1.0 seconds).

I believe a moderator should move most of the recent posts to a "philosophy" thread...

Not just display, also camera.

Yep, they are called physical devices and do not always conform to theory.

[hello_hello]

I think it'd be reasonable to look at a frame displaying a period of time, not just an infinitely small point in time.
If I took a photo while leaving the film exposed for a full second, it'd be capturing 1 second of time, but due to a limitation of the format it can't display the information the same way, so you'd have 1 second condensed to a single moment, but still one whole second. That's obviously used to help create the illusion of motion for film.
A frame of film mightn't capture the whole 41.67ms of time for which it'll eventually display, but it must capture more than an infinitely small amount of it, and unlike audio samples converted to a waveform, motion isn't reconstructed by a DAC, so at a particular frame rate a frame has a specific display duration.

It's probably semantics to a certain extent, but don't our brains provide us with picture and sound by processing tiny moments in time one after the other, or does the information arriving from our eyes and ears travel to our brains in continuous waves?

[hello_hello]

Whenever I try to encode lossy audio (AC3 & MP3 tested) MeGUI 2764 adds the job to the queue, then crashes as soon as I try to run it (the familiar "MeGUI has encountered a problem" error window pops up). Re-encoding a wave file seems okay.

I'm sure it's somehow related to LWLibavAudioSource decoding as when I change the preferred decoder to NicAudio it's fine. The problem occurs using both MeGUI's portable AVS+ and the installed AVS 2.6.
LSmash itself seems fine as I can create a simple script such as the one below and open it with MPC-HC and there's no problem.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll")
LWLibavAudioSource("D:\DW 64_VTS_06_1 T80 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")

I've included the log file but it's extremely uninformative. I'm still running MeGUI on XP and using LSmash r784.

Thanks.

Preliminary log file only. During closing of MeGUI the well formed log file will be written.

As I do not have any XP machine to test it may be either the used l-smash or a combination with your OS. The recent l-smash with Windows 10 at least does not produce any errors for me.

[Zathor]

2766 [OneClick] fixed an issue if the input audio codec cannot be used for direct muxing (regression of 2759). bug #890
2765 [Video Preview] aligned the total time and frame count in the title bar with the Info() output

[hello_hello]

It must be something that's changed in MeGUI (I'm still using the last XP compatible L-Smash). Maybe it's XP specific, but in case anyone reports the same issue with a newer flavour of Windows, version 2755 is fine so the problem was introduced after that. Versions 2760 and 2764 both crash.

Maybe fixing this will fix it, because it seems a bit co-incidental. ;)

Zathor: When will the new stable megui version be available?
I using DirectShowSource indexer with MEGUI 2764. But Auto crop section is often incorrect. (some Remux Videos, some x264 videos)
File Indexer (FFVideoSource,LWLibavVideoSource) no problem. Which better? Also is there fix for DirectShowSource indexer
I tested Avisyth 2.6 and Avisyth+ 2508.

[j8ee]

From 24th May 2017: I just discovered that some of my encodes muxed with the mp4 muxer have been stripped of encoder library and encoder settings info, checking with MediaInfo. This seems to happen when I use the muxer manually - files encoded with AutoEncode or One-Click still have this info intact.

Using MeGUI 2743 development server, mp4box 0.7.0 rev3 (gpac)

Have been busy for some weeks, just did an encode and encoder info is still stripped, using autoencode. MeGUI 2766.

log - https://pastebin.com/BPBsTQaE

sample - https://mega.nz/#!K5RzjRjR!r86jH_iA6lRWogiliIMFJIQnL1f7aLArOxXQ3n2yA1M (9 kB)

[Taurus]

mmmh,
here all encoder library and encoder settings in MediaInfo show the correct value.
Tried Autoencode and manual mp4 muxing-
Both show the correct entries in mediainfo.
Latest and greatest MeGui. Fully updated.

[j8ee]

:confused: What?

Encoder settings doesn't show up for me in the older mediainfo in mpc-hc either...

In a hex editor I can see the info is there, but for some reason it doesn't show up in mediainfo.

http://i.imgur.com/yiSHq91.png


This is how it looks for me if I encode to mkv instead:

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

[LigH]

In a hex editor I can see the info is there

So it appears possible that the SEI auxiliary info is not displayed for raw HEVC video streams by MediaInfo (in contrast to multiplexed video streams in an MKV container), despite being present in the raw HEVC video stream; so it is rather an issue of MediaInfo than of MeGUI, correct?

[j8ee]

Well, it's not a raw stream but an mp4 muxed with megui in AutoEncode mode. And seeing that the info is there does not mean much, it could have been put in there the wrong way by the muxer and therefor made it unaccessible.

If I mux it "manually" with the megui mp4 muxer, the encoder settings can be seen in mediainfo.

It could very well be a problem with mediainfo. I have no clue so far but continue to look into it, and I very much appreciate suggestions on what to do and check for...

What version of mediainfo are you using, Taurus? And 64 or 32 bit?

Could some more people please confirm that my sample above _do_ show encoder settings in their setup of medianfo, and also which version of mediainfo they are using? I just don't understand why my system/setup should have problems...

[Taurus]

What version of mediainfo are you using, Taurus?

0.7.97

All relevant settings are shown in mp4, mkv files. Autoencode, OneClick and manual muxing.
But this is for x264 files only.
Just tested x265/hevc, you are right, nothing shown in mp4 files.
Mkv files are allright.

[Zathor]

It might be an XP thing, or something that changed to upset the older version of LSmash, but I discovered I can't index video with LSmash any more either. The progress window opens and shortly after MeGUI decides it encountered an error etc..... Once again the log file isn't very helpful.

Should be fixed?
http://megui.org/test.zip

[Zathor]

Zathor: When will the new stable megui version be available?
No clue, maybe next week, maybe in one year. Between the last two stable builds have been > 15 months, the last stable build has been released in April so there is some time :)

I using DirectShowSource indexer with MEGUI 2764. But Auto crop section is often incorrect. (some Remux Videos, some x264 videos)
File Indexer (FFVideoSource,LWLibavVideoSource) no problem. Which better? Also is there fix for DirectShowSource indexer
I tested Avisyth 2.6 and Avisyth+ 2508.
I cannot and will not support DirectShowSource. Maybe it is time to remove that completly from MeGUI.

[hello_hello]

Should be fixed?
http://megui.org/test.zip

That did the trick. Both audio and video can be indexed again. May I ask what the cause was?

I cannot and will not support DirectShowSource. Maybe it is time to remove that completely from MeGUI.

It is handy sometimes, although I suppose if you really want to use it you can create a DorectShowSource script manually.

[wthreex]

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, But why does the Megui choose the English audio as the main sound while the main sound is something else? (I'm sure Japanese audio is a default track) :

http://uupload.ir/files/bth9_capture.png (http://uupload.ir/)

How can I get the megui to automatically choose/encode the original audio without changing myself ?

[LigH]

For many media formats, MeGUI can't know a "main" audio language because there is no preference defined in the container (even if the container supports it at all, not every author selected one).

And for many people there may be a preference of languages they actually understand, over any other original language the movie was produced in first. So MeGUI offers two "Default languages" in its "Main Configuration"; but it seems there is no choice to "prefer none" and just assume the track with the first number is your preferred one.

[wthreex]

Honestly, I've encode a lot of movies in the form of a folder with OneClick encoder, Most of the films inside the folder contain "English commentary", And if the main audio is the non-English, MeGui Choose the "English commentary" track for the main audio , And since I've automatically encoded a lot of movies, I can not manually select the original audio.
I hope Zathor finds a solution to this problem.

[LigH]

For such cases, you may need a new option to ignore preferred languages from the options and prefer the original order instead...

[Zathor]

Select the languages and the order you want in the OneClick profile settings. If you do not select anything on the left and the option "all" for "Languages to select if selection does not match" it should retain all tracks in the original order. I have never tried that to be honest. Please report back if it does not work and I will change it.

In the past I've been able to enter a custom sar in the x264 configuration field, and it's generally worked ok.

For a while now, it has no effect. Whatever the 'force sar' setting is will overrule any custom setting.
So having the custom sar in the screenshot attached has absolutely no effect.

It means I'm limited to only being able to use the presets in the force sar drop-down list.

Is this a regression, or has something else changed that I don't know about?

Like you can see in command line window there are:

--sar 33:34 --sar 32:27

and always work the last parameter.

Select "Default" in 'Force sar' box when you use a custom sar.

I've written some patches to fix various issues with MP4BoxMuxer. Long story short - AppleXML chapters weren't getting written, AppleXML chapters embedded in an mp4/m4v were not getting parsed properly, and due to an apparently undocumented change in mp4box, the par and name options to the '-add' parameter stopped being parsed properly. So, I rewrote the Apple chapters function to work like the other rewritten chapters functions, made a minor change that gets AppleXML chapters to parse the right way, and changed the syntax used to specify par and tracknames for MP4Box. These are IMHO critical so pls take a look soon. Thanks!

Actually, what I've found recently when using a custom --sar (in my case, 20:11, for an old 352x480 video from some random camera), is that it got ignored by x264 and mp4box even if "Default" is used in the 'Force sar' box. The latest patch fixes this, however. Thanks zathor!

https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/patches/70/

Thanks to fixes to mp4box in response to bug reports I filed at gpac, one of my patches, the one for tracknames and PAR, should no longer be relevant, as long as you update the version of mp4box to the very latest nightly including those fixes (which isn't out yet). I encourage you to make the switch to this nightly if only this once, because of a different bug, which I described in a bug report here (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/issues/874) and which can't really be worked around by MeGUI itself. If you don't switch to this build then my fix for tracknames/par remains relevant, though. More about this in a comment I left at the original patch submission at sourceforge, quoted above.

Hi Zathor.
I am using Megui 2767 version. When you share a new version of Megui.exe, despite the x264 version of the program does not change there is difference in the quality of the encoded video. I only downloaded a new version of Megui.exe. Do you think the difference in video quality is a normal thing?

[LigH]

@ olmicx: You ... downloaded. Zathor uploads. ;)

Apart from that, this complaint is way too vague. Hard to help without any facts and numbers: Complete logs of both encodes, complete MediaInfo reports, possibly even cut-out video samples of comparable scenes with obvious differences...

In general, with the same encoder version and the same script and the same plugins, there should not be a noticable difference. So if there is any, there must also be a reason. Maybe a change in the handling of the material, anything that changes either the generated script content or the command line calling the encoder.

[sneaker_ger]

In general, with the same encoder version and the same script and the same plugins, there should not be a noticable difference.
There should be no difference at all (unless you force x264 into non-deterministic mode).

So I agree: something must have changed. Best would be to compare the log files.

[Taurus]

Hi Zathor.
I am using Megui 2767 version. When you share a new version of Megui.exe, despite the x264 version of the program does not change there is difference in the quality of the encoded video. I only uploaded a new version of Megui.exe. Do you think the difference in video quality is a normal thing?
Look at the x264 settings tab if there is something changed during a new MeGui install.
I always make a backup of my favourit settings and store it under a new name. Just in case somethings going wrong :p.
But the best you can do, post a log file of a known "good" encode
and one from a "bad" encode.
So we might have a look at them.

To share full logs and find and share full log differences you can use www.pastebin.com and www.diffchecker.com, I recommend to use the option to store it only for one month and not post torrent file paths.

[wthreex]

Why does megui sometimes change the video framerate? some of my video is out of sync because of it.

I'd like make it as source , what is the avisynth code?

[LigH]

Please post a complete MeGUI session log of such a case, preferably including a full MediaInfo analysis of the source.

Where does your video source come from? May it have a variable framerate? - AviSynth can only handle constant frame rates. Some source plugins can resample the video to a constant frame rate, with the right parameters. But don't try that if it is not necessary; there are other possible reasons for a change. First we need to know details what you tried so far.

https://pastebin.com/0LDdm5Fq

you right fps has changed to the Constant mode, What are the solutions to this problem?

[LigH]

Two possible solutions:

a) You may manually edit the generated AviSynth script to use the fpsnum/fpsden parameters in LwLibavVideoSource (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSMASHSource/LWLibavVideoSource) to resample the video to a constant and convenient frame rate. Disadvantage: Choppy playback due to inserted or skipped frames.

b) You may extract per-frame timecodes before converting, and restore them in your result. Disadvantage: I don't know details about it, and it is only supported for specific target containers. Please try to find more about this technique on your own (or have patience and wait for links provided by other members). This may require more manual labor outside MeGUI.

Source MediaInfo (Frame rate mode: Variable:24.616 FPS)
Encode MediaInfo (Frame rate mode: Constant 24.617 FPS

you right fps has changed to the Constant mode, What are the solutions to this problem?

I'd try converting to a better constant frame rate. On it's own LSmash will just use the average frame rate. It might be worth going back to 29.970fps (replacing all the missing frames with duplicates) and then decimating as required.

LWLibavVideoSource("D:\video.mkv.lwi", fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
TFM().TDecimate()

Alternatively, extract the timecodes from the source MKV with gMKVExtractGUI or MKVCleaver, then use the timecodes file to encode in variable frame rate mode..
If the timecodes file you extracted is called "timecodes.txt" (for example) you'd add it to the x264 custom command line section like this:

--tcfile-in "D:\timecodes.txt"

Save the encoder configuration and add the job to the queue as usual. The frame rate of the video as it's being decoded by LSMash is then irrelevant.

Hey guys,

2761 [OneClick] + [AVS SC] select AviSource() or DirectShowSource() only if suitable

I saw it, I know. Is there a setting? How can I choose?

PS: Sorry, my english is very bad.

[LigH]

This change seems to make this choice only relevant if you select the One Click Encoder.

AviSource is only suitable if the source is an AVI (and possibly only necessary if it doesn't use a codec LibAV decoders can't handle reliably). And DirectShowSource will probably be offered only if nothing else is obviously more suitable (I guess...).

[hello_hello]

Hey guys,

I have a problem. Where is DirectShowSource on Avisynth SC? I want to use Lavfilters.

I have the DirectShowSource option when opening m2ts files that way (MeGUI 2768 on XP). Is this one of those instances where the Haali Media Splitter needs to be installed? If those screenshots are taken from two versions of MeGUI running on the same PC, then I've no idea what's happening. When are AviSource() & DirectShowSource() deemed to be suitable?
That change seems to have the potential to be annoying.

Other than that, you can create your own DirectShowSource script to open the file in question, and use the script as the input video for the script creator.

There's an issue with the generated .avs file for audio when indexing a video with 6 channel aac audio. In the scripts it says

# detected channels: 2 channels
# detected channel positions: 3/2/0.1

regardless of ffmsindex or l-smash being used. MeGUI throw warnings when encoding:

--[Warning] [2017-09-08 17:00:32] Channel count mismatch! The input file is reporting 2 channels and the AviSynth script is reporting 6 channels
--[Warning] [2017-09-08 17:00:32] Ignoring downmix because of the channel count mismatch

and the resulting encode ends up being multi-channel. Trying to encode an mp3 fails with the error message "Unsupported number of channels: 6"

Manually changing the .avs files to

# detected channels: 6 channels

makes everything work fine.

Using MeGUI 2768 development server

(By the way, is there an easy way of verifying that video/audio files actually are multi-channel without having any matching hardware for playback? A longer-than-normal google session only came up with tools and ways for checking playback and hardware, nothing for verifying the files.

Maybe not on topic, but I'm also curious of the big difference in bitrate for the resulting audio file, depending of the l-smash or ffms indexer being used, and other decoding methods. With the l-smash indexer the encoded 2-channel audio had 51 kbps, and with ffms it had 40 kbps. Just encoding the extracted aac file directly in MeGUI resulted in a 2-channel file with 66 kbps, and encoding in foobar2000 with it's downmix filter produced a file with 42 kbps. Encoding settings being the same of course. Is this all good and perfectly normal, especially the difference between l-smash and ffms indexers?)

[Morku]

Feature request:

1. Is it possible to support Hybrid shutdown for Windows 8 (and newer)? It should look like that:

You might have to wait for Zathor to weigh in on that one, but what was the container? MKA, MP4, or raw AAC etc?
Some AAC encoders save 2 channel info to the MP4 header (or something along those lines) for backwards compatibility as MP4 originally only supported 2 channels, so maybe that's confusing MeGUI.

As a workaround, you could re-encode as flac, as based on your MP3 test the flac output would have 6 channels, and then you could downmix and re-encode the flac file.

(By the way, is there an easy way of verifying that video/audio files actually are multi-channel without having any matching hardware for playback? A longer-than-normal google session only came up with tools and ways for checking playback and hardware, nothing for verifying the files.

As you're already using it, foobar2000's "peak meter" displays the number of output channels according to the source.
It's under "Playback Visualisations" in the list of UI Elements. You don't have to let it take up much space if it's at a premium as it has a full screen mode (right click on it).
Keep in mind it's an output meter so if you have a DSP in the playback chain downmixing etc, it'll display the DSP's output, but that aside, I tend to trust what it's displaying.

I extracted a stereo HE-AAC stream (is the source HE-AAC from an MKV and encoded it with QAAC's V91 quality settinge, comparing foobar2000 to ffms2/MeGUI and the bitrate was the same.
I'm using an older LSmash and it seemed to be confused by raw HE-AAC and was getting the sample rate wrong. For comparing decoders I'd convert to flac or wave first, or at least mux the raw AAC into an MKA or M4A. Re-encoding raw HE-AAC streams is probably something to avoid.

When I want to rip a movie from a Blu-Ray ISO mounted in a virtual drive (an M2TS file), MEGui doesn't allow me to use 'L-SMASH Works' with File Indexer, only FFMSIndex (which is way slower that the other option...), is there a way to solve this? I have no such problem if I extract the files in a folder on my HDD...

[Zathor]

The Index file has to be created in the directory of the input file.

[LeMoi]

Even if I choose another folder in the output section? So the only way is to copy the m2ts file in the HDD?

[LigH]

The AviSynth plugin will look for an existing index file in the same directory as the source file, and create a new one just there if it does not exist (and if you did not disable creating it – which LwLibavSource does not support; only FFMS2 supports keeping the index in the RAM, and LSMASHVideoSource would rely on an index chunk present in the source file, but only works with ISO Media container formats like MOV and MP4, not with M2TS).

So yes: First copy the file to the harddisk where an index file can be written. Your optical drive will enjoy less stress as well, converting directly from it may cause a lot more seek operations than just one straight copy.

[LeMoi]

OK, thanks for your answers, and BTW I was talking about a virtual drive, not optical, so I think read speed would be the same ^^

[Nope, the demux always output elementary video streams, before video outputs can be .h264, .m2v or .vc1

* added support for h265/HEVC bitstream parsing
* added support for m2ts h265/HEVC splitting
* added support for MKV h265/HEVC splitting
* added support for h265/HEVC framerate modifications
* added detection for Dolby Vision Enhancement Layer

Zathor,

any chance of adding an avc extension to the supported file types list for the muxers? It's easy enough to change the extension to to h264, but MKVToolNix is happy with avc (and gMKVExtractGUI extracts it that way).

Cheers.

[tebasuna51]

Now the muxer support .264 and .h264 for RAW MPEG-4 AVC Files
Maybe Zathor can add .avc

BTW any GUI for mkvextract.exe can select the extension without limits, maybe is more easy change gMKVExtractGUI to output .h264
Now my GUI for mkvextract.exe (UsEac3to) output .264 and can modify this to .h264 (in next version 1.2.7) to match the extension than eac3to demux output.
MkvToolNix (and eac3to) accept any extension because identify the stream by the header, not by extension.

Now the muxer accept only .hevc for RAW MPEG-H HEVC Files, must add .h265 (please Zathor) like eac3to output.

[LigH]

Apparently you run a 1st pass with x264 which generates no video output (--output NUL), but it is still supposed to be multiplexed to an MKV?!

[Zathor]

Hi, good morning!

Could someone help me with the error below.
I can not encode any videos in 2pss 1st pass, this same error always occurs.

Does anyone know what is happening and could help me?


How do you have created these jobs?

[mini-moose]

from what I can tell x265 config is only showing very basic options:
preset / encoding method / crf #.

Are there plans to add a more detailed view with all the various setting the encoder offers (like in x264 config show advanced settings) ?

thanks.

I'm getting a muxing error that seems to be caused by using MKVmerge 17.0 with an audio delay.

When I let MKV Muxer GUI auto-set the delay I get...
Error: Invalid sync option specified in '--sync 0:20ms'.

When I manually change the delay to 0 in the GUI it muxes without issue.

When I revert MKVmerge to the previous 15.0 version it muxes the delay without issue.

Here's the full log...

Seems than MkvMerge 17.0 now:

* mkvmerge: command line options: an error message will be output if the single-value-form of the `--sync` option is used and it isn't a number (e.g. `--sync 0:asd`). Fixes #2121.

then '--sync 0:20ms' must be now '--sync 0:20' without the 'ms'

As I am not using x265 myself and have very limited time: yes, it is on the road map but do not expect it soon.

1/1 - updating package LAME

Please try it again. If it still fails please post the full log.

[wthreex]

Fixed.

[ratpack]

https://imgur.com/SDPjwj0Aargh, I eagerly got the new MeGUI 2774 but the sar issue still isn't working. Additionally now it also ignores the option to not demux the entire video stream.

So if I try and add a custom sar, the space between sar and the numbers gets entered as a letter r. This throws an error in the job. If I don't use a space then the custom sar values get ignored.
https://imgur.com/SDPjwj0

Also, now when I try and start off using the File Indexer (FILE > Open > browse to the first VOB) it always creates a duplicate set of all the VOBs. Checking or unchecking the box to "Demux Video Stream" now has no effect - it's getting demuxed every time and creating an additional 7.9GB of duplicate VOB files.

[Zathor]

Please add always proper custom command lines otherwise they cannot be parsed. Therefore add "--sar 95:79" with the leading --.

Regarding the file indexer - please post the full log.

[ratpack]

OK thanks for the answer on the sar.

Attached is the log. The box to demux video stream was not checked, but the files were still created.

If it's not occurred in general testing then I wonder if it's because MeGUI isn't installed in the normal default location? It looks like it's been installed in the same folder on my system since back at version 2624.

Problems with update 2774 and audio

Yesterday version 2774 was installed on top of an existing 2715 version on Windows 10.
Result: problems of audio. The audio is messed and a clicking noise (like a gun is shooting) is produced in the audio.

What want I to do with Megui? I have m2ts-files and I want to convert them to mp4-files (h264-video en aac-audio). I do this with an avs-file like this:

I want this audio tranfered to :LC-AAC format

Before the last update I did this several years, without problems!! The last year I use the QAAC-encoder. Testing with several options of the audio-dialog shows that the problem is with the "Downmix multichannel to Stereo"-option is.

When I download the version 2774 from the official site and I run this version, the QAAC-encoder is not anymore present. Is this normal or a bug?
So my question is now: how to encode the audio to format lc-aac if QAAC-package is not present?

[tebasuna51]

Also, now when I try and start off using the File Indexer (FILE > Open > browse to the first VOB) it always creates a duplicate set of all the VOBs.

Thats hapens when VOB's have more than a PGC stream:

...
----[Information] PGCCount: 4

and the VOB's created aren't duplicated but with only the main PGC stream.
The others PGC's can have copyright message, credits, extras, etc. than must be eliminated from original VOB's using pgcdemux:

@laurentje:

QAAC is only a command line interface tool to the Apple CoreAudio encoder. To use it, you need to have either QuickTime or iTunes installed, or at least unpack the required DLL's from their installer (preferably from iTunes 64-bit), using the "makeportable" batch provided by the QAAC author. Furthermore, to use QAAC, you have to enable it in the "Settings" dialog in the "External Program Configuration" tab.

[LigH]

The "Abort" button in the updater window still does nothing...

Maybe best thing is to remove it.

[tebasuna51]

Yesterday version 2774 was installed on top of an existing 2715 version on Windows 10.
Result: problems of audio. The audio is messed and a clicking noise (like a gun is shooting) is produced in the audio.

I don't know if changes in last version modify the MeGUI behaviour, but if you use DirectShowSource to open a file we can't know what happens with the audio.

The correct way is extract the AC3 file (Tools -> HD Streams Extractor)
and recode it to aac-lc (using LWLibavAudioSource or NicAudio)

The QAAC package (and NeroAacEnc than can be equivalent for aac-lc) must be enabled (Options -> Settings -> External Program Configuration) and maybe manually download the first time or update.

Check if you have already, from your previous MeGUI version:
...\megui\tools\qaac\QTfiles...
...\megui\tools\eac3to\neroAacEnc.exe

[Zathor]

@laurentje: In any case a full log of the encoding (including versions header) is required for proper support - currently we can only guess that you have used DirectShowSource also for the audio encoding, which architecture you are using (32/64bit), ...

@All: If not noticed already I have released yesterday a new "stable" build 2774.

[laurentje]

@Zathor:
No problem for the log list but the audio is terrible. And the system is Windows 10, which is 64bit.
The log is here (https://rolandvl.stackstorage.com/s/pFY4YTNCmuoP35h).

The result video is here (https://rolandvl.stackstorage.com/s/GmSAJBHmDiaVV4B).

In the beginning of the clip you hear clicks like gunshots... which are not in the original clip.

[laurentje]

@tebasuna51

1) audio encoding AAC
Well, this was quite simple: in the Settings, 3rd tab 'External Program Contifuration', activate checkbox QAAC. Then the program shall ask for update, etc...

2) The splitting task via the tool is an extra step in the workflow, too much... A better solution is to put the name of the mts-file directly in the input field of the audio file. (the standard beheviour is that Megui put the same name here als the viedofilename)

[Zathor]

What is in this script?
Import("C:\tmp\video\can\m2ts_raw\can_dag01_raw2.avs")

Btw you can try OneClick. You have to setup it once but then you can drag your m2ts files on it or even use batch encoding if you drag multiple files on it. It will then be properly processed without DirectShowSource.

And again, the "Groundhog Day" of AviSynth in general, and MeGUI specifically: How old is the guide which recommends DirectShowSource over the File Indexer? We don't, rather the opposite.

[Zathor]

Give it a try, you can also resize in there if you need no preview.
Regarding your audio issues - I cannot support DirectShowSource. Either use the old MeGUI version if that works for you (change should only be the AVS+ version used) or switch to file indexer / OneClick.

[hello_hello]

Hi Zathor.

Is there any chance of an option to disable the disabling of the "Improve AVS opening" setting when MeGUI thinks it's crashed or there's been a preview error or a light shower within 30 miles while previewing a video? :)
I ask, because when you're fiddling with scripts and experimenting with plugins etc it's inevitable you'll do something to hurt MeGUI's feelings, and I swear I must go back into Options at least 354 times per day to re-enable "Improve AVS opening".

Under what sort of circumstance would disabling that option allow MeGUI to open a script it otherwise couldn't open?

Thank you!

PS. When you open a source, MeGUI always sets the Input DAR in the script creator, but if it's not a standard DAR and you change the Input DAR yourself, you can't change it back to what it was. An InputDAR "scratchpad" maybe? Otherwise you have to reload the source and start again or create a custom Input DAR, which will force you to delete any currently saved custom DAR's when you want to eventually remove it (which is annoying because MeGUI still uses the old ITU PARs rather than the mpeg4 PARs).

PPS I've noticed MeGUI is fairly attached to choosing an ITU or generic Input DAR if the source is of a DVD-type resolution. For instance if you open an MKV at 720x576 with something close to 4:3 written to the container/video stream, MeGUI will ignore it and choose ITU or generic instead. When the aspect ratio differs enough from a standard generic or ITU PAR, MeGUI starts to pay attention, but to my way of thinking it should always do so.

PPPS. Is there any chance one day MeGUI could display the resizing resolution in the script creator? Somewhere near the aspect error area maybe? So if you set 640x480 as the resizing for example, MeGUI would tell you it's 4:3. While 640x480 is fairly obvious, often it's not.

I'm sure I had something else to complain about, but I seem to have forgotten what it was. ;)

Thanks for the continued work. It's appreciated.

PPPPS. I remembered. :)
Do you think the option to add a pre-recording job to the queue gets much use? I ask, because I use it, but mainly to encode to a lossless output, and then I re-encode that, but usually after manually creating a new script and adding more filtering etc. Theretofore, I always have to delete the other jobs MeGUI adds to the queue, but it's the only way to losslessly encode with huffYUV.
I assume the original purpose of the "pre-rendering" option was to automatically encode to an intermediate file while running slow filtering and MeGUI would then busy itself running a 2 pass encode, which is why I asked how much use it's likely to get these days. I was wondering if it'd be more useful now if it simply ran a lossless encode and let the user do the rest.

I'm done now. :)

[laurentje]

Btw you can try OneClick. You have to setup it once but then you can drag your m2ts files...

Not sure anymore why I added that. It had something to do with preventing crashes. It may be time to remove it and see what will happen. Btw. it did not happen for me in years so not sure why it will be raised for you so often.

The last point is easy - disable "use ITU aspect ratio" in the settings. The part with the lost aspect ratio information is not so easy :-(

I never have used that option myself likely because I am not doing multi-pass encodings.

Ideally you raise for the changes feature requests on sourceforge. Likely it will not be faster, but your points are also no points I can implement / change right now. So it may happen that it will be burried here which I want to avoid. :)

Glad that you would like to try it - not so good that it crashes MeGUI. MeGUI itself should never crash itself so when it happens when the first time lsmash is called the crash very likely is related to it. Are there additional information? E.g. an error window? Maybe a redist is not installed.
As a workaround you can try to change the priorities in the oneclick profile so that ffms will be used as primary indexer.
Sorry for the trouble... :(

[hello_hello]

Not sure anymore why I added that. It had something to do with preventing crashes. It may be time to remove it and see what will happen. Btw. it did not happen for me in years so not sure why it will be raised for you so often.

I think it's just because I fiddle with scripts a lot while previewing. Naturally I couldn't make it happen when I tried. Next time MeGUI resets AVS opening, I'll make a note of what happened so I can reproduce it.

The last point is easy - disable "use ITU aspect ratio" in the settings. The part with the lost aspect ratio information is not so easy :-(

I maybe didn't explain it well.
I don't use the old ITU pixel aspect ratios because they were never exactly correct to begin with (MeGUI is the only current GUI I know of that still uses them). The mpeg4 aspect ratios are simpler and easier to work with, they match the SARs in the x264 encoder configuration, they generally make it easier to crop to exactly 16:9 or 4:3, and they apply to both PAL and NTSC.
I was just having a little whine about MeGUI removing the custom MPEG4 DAR's every time I create a temporary InputDAR and then delete it.

https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/MeGUI%20DAR.gif

Do you have a sample file for that? What does MediaInfo report?

Here's two.

NTSC & PAL.zip (https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/NTSC%20_%20PAL.zip) (6MB)

I started with an NTSC DVD (using an Input DAR of 15:11), cropped 2 pixels from each side and resized back to 720x480. I then encoded it again, resizing to 720x576. The script itself:

# Set DAR in encoder to 179 : 132. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 179
global MeGUI_dary = 132
<source>
crop(2, 0, -2, 0)
Spline36Resize(720,480) # or 720x576

MPC-HC (File/Properties) reports a DAR of 72:53 for the NTSC encode and 781:576 for the PAL resolution. Aside from some very minor rounding, both are correct. MeGUI opens both as 4:3 (or ITU).
It only applies when the resolution is exactly 720x480 or 720x576 and I haven't tried to work out how far the DAR needs to be from 4:3 or 16:9 before MeGUI starts using it, but there's obviously a point at which it does.

I never have used that option myself likely because I am not doing multi-pass encodings.

I only use it because it's the only way to encode as huffyuv. The pre-rendering option is possibly obsolete, but there's probably no need to remove it, however it'd be nice to have huffyuv as an encoder choice along with x264 and xvid etc.

Ideally you raise for the changes feature requests on sourceforge. Likely it will not be faster, but your points are also no points I can implement / change right now. So it may happen that it will be burried here which I want to avoid. :)
Btw great to have you here!

Thanks. I think I've still got a few requests waiting in the queue over there but I'll add some later. ;)
Did you ever read my request for adding filtering to each trim you add with the AVS Cutter? I'm longing for the day....
The idea was to be able to include filtering with each Trim so not only could the AVS Cutter do basic cutting, you could use it as an editor of sorts. Like so:

Trim(0,100).ThisFilter().ThatFilter()

MeGUI's preview is already open and ready to preview the changes, all that's required is a way to enter them and life would be joyous once again... :)

As a workaround you can try to change the priorities in the oneclick profile so that ffms will be used as primary indexer.

On the subject of indexing, when the output folder is something other than the input folder, MeGUI no longer deletes the lsmash index file from the source directory after copying it to the output directory. Was that an intentional change?

Thanks

[raymondjpg]

Is it possible to change the order of preference of source filters in the File Indexer (e.g. always FFMS2 over L-SMASH Source)?

Also asked in the VideoHelp forum (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/383449-FFVideoSource-vs-LWLibavVideoSource) by someone else...

Was this question ever answered? I can't find it.

Edit: Looks like ability to change priority of indexer has been implemented in One-Click under the 'Other' tab.

[LigH]

An issue with xvid_encraw has just been discussed in the German doom9/Gleitz board. It turned out that xvid_encraw (in contrast to other encoders) only accepts an avisynth.dll located in a directory where a registry value of the AviSynth installation points at, but not from its base directory or %PATH%.

Recompiling an enhanced xvid_encraw (after adding such code) would require Visual Studio. I can't offer this service. Any other volunteers? — Until that, MeGUI may have to temporarily manipulate this registry value (and "temporarily" means, there may be a risk of getting permanent in case it crashes before it restores the original value).

[Groucho2004]

It turned out that xvid_encraw (in contrast to other encoders) only accepts an avisynth.dll located in a directory where a registry value of the AviSynth installation points at, but not from its base directory or %PATH%.
That is not correct.

xvid_encraw (and I presume similar tools that use the VfW API) will work just fine with these registry entries present:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AVIFile\Extensions\avs]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}]
@="AviSynth"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}\InProcServer32]
@="avisynth.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"


Tools that use the native Avisynth API don't need them to work.

[LigH]

Well, maybe I misinterpreted these brief reports (https://forum.gleitz.info/showthread.php?47949-MeGui-Error-Diagnostik-hilfe&p=459748&viewfull=1#post459748).

Your analysis seems to suggest that MeGUI should "temporarily register AviSynth to the local copy" if AviSynth was not yet installed in the system? I hope I understood this time.

[Groucho2004]

Your analysis seems to suggest that MeGUI should "temporarily register AviSynth to the local copy" if AviSynth was not yet installed in the system?Yes. Installing Avisynth is not necessary but these 3 entries must be there. Xvid will then use the standard Windows search hierarchy to look for avisynth.dll/devil.dll. However, auto-loading plugins will not work without additional registry entries.

[LigH]

I guess these will have been redirected to MeGUI's selection while it is active, anyway.
_

P.S.: But that also means that making xvid_encraw use native AviSynth API would be quite an overhaul? That may not be worth the efforts, with an expectable obsolescence...

My report in the other forum really was not very precise. But the reg keys pointed out by Groucho are the ones who have been reported missing by Process Monitor and after writing them everything is fine. MeGUI will now check first if those exist and if not it will create them (in the HKCU part). Directly after xvid starts they will be removed again.

These are the keys (stripped down to the bare minimum):

No, it has not been implemented for the file indexer.

With the recent issue posts about lsmash I think about to move the default priority back to ffms.

[Zathor]

On the subject of indexing, when the output folder is something other than the input folder, MeGUI no longer deletes the lsmash index file from the source directory after copying it to the output directory. Was that an intentional change?

Sort of - it will only be deleted if "delete intermediate files" is enabled. While thinking about it, as it is copied I believe the original file can be deleted in any case. I will change it.

lame.exe in both versions (32/64) is detected as a virus by my virus scanner. this will only be a false alert very likely based on reputation - however if I upload it MeGUI will also get a bad reputation score as it is downloading such a thing. Therefore I will not update it for the moment.

[Morku]

Thats weird. I use Windows Defender and it's not detecting a virus. Also virustotal gives a good reputation: https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/36525f3f84c6512228152b9899265652e8c4e1bcd18d1a84ed74db1a612c7fd0/analysis/1511295863/

If not a bug, can I change the behaviour to make "All files (*.*)" as default? Since DGIndexNV supports mpls files, I prefer this way over finding out the m2ts files (especially when the movie is parted in many m2ts files).

No, that was the reason for the change. *.* does catch all files and therefore also exe, bat, cmd, txt, ... so that mpls has been left out is a mistake but it has also been left out in the file indexer.

Btw why do you open the mpls in AVS Creator? Why not directly with file indexer / oneclick?

[Morku]

Uh, good question. I have never tried the One Click before, so I use the "manual way" for years. I use AVS Creator to index the file and crop if necessary, "HD streams extractor" to get subtitles and audio. Convert audio with a bat, convert subs with SubtitleEdit and after all bring together with MeGUI. But I will have a look into the One Click Encoder :)

[Zathor]

OK, but then AVS Script Creator will just open the File Indexer, a bit faster would be to open directly the file indexer.
I will implement MPLS support in the same way as with IFO so that also the other indexers will work. DGIndexIM/NV will directly use the mpls, for the others eac3to will demux it.

[Pko]

The One Click Encoder window is not resizeable and the input selector field is too wide and part of it, the part that allows to select an option, is outside the window limits:

Also, the audio processing gets hung forever for some files:

Your log seems ok, but sometimes the NeroAacEnc have troubles with not congruent parameters:

-lc -q 0.3

In Automatic profile (always recomended with Variable BitRate) a quality of 0.3 output -he profile, use 0.32 at least to obtain -lc quality.

EDIT:
With a music sample file (48 KHz) I obtain a
HE 88 Kb/s with -q 0.3
LC 90 Kb/s with -q 0.32
LC 94 Kb/s with -q 0.35

I recommend at least 0.35 for LC (it's not good work in limits)

@Zathor
Maybe in Nero AAC configuration dialog you can disable the AAC Profile, and let in Automatic, when Variable Bitrate is selected.

And replace the label with:

Variable Bitrate, Q > 0,31 for AAC LC (Q=selected)

After update to MeGUI 2784 Dev, I can't open video as DirectShowSource.
The Message Box to chose way to open source is disappeared.
MeGUI automaticaly open source as index file.
How can I fixed it?

[LigH]

This is intentional. Read the changelog.

DirectShoiwSource is the most unreliable way to process media files. If you really want to use it, enable it manually. It's your own risk.

@LigH:
Thank You
This is my mistake because I didn't read changelog after update :(

Thanks & done in 2785

Since DGIndexNV supports mpls files, I prefer this way over finding out the m2ts files (especially when the movie is parted in many m2ts files).
Does this work for you? I tried it now in order to implement MPLS support and noticed this issue:

http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=605

EDIT: Solution found

[Zathor]

2787 [AVS Script Creator] added mpls as supported input type
[File Indexer] added mpls as supported input type
[File Indexer] do not reset the output path when selecting a different indexer if the path has already been set
2786 [DGIndex* Indexer] all: support absolute paths in the index files when written with Full_Path_In_Files=0
IM/NV: ensure that ResponseOnAudioMismatch=0 is not set (if set, it will be set to 1)
2785 [Nero AAC Encoder] if VBR is used the profile will automatically be selected

Does this work for you?

No :(

It worked fine before...

[LigH]

At least the stack trace at the end of this log should narrow down the reason a bit...

[numaios]

Hello to everyone.

I've been encoding several files in MeGUI 2787, with x264 codec, using preset Slow, and ticking the "show advanced settings" checkbox to change ME method from hex to uneven multihex and "adaptive b-frames" to 2 (Optimal) (the default option for x264's slow preset now is 1 (fast), but in fact the default option in MeGUI is 2).

The thing is I want to use --b-adapt 2 but even when I set it in the GUI, the command line is:

program --preset slow --tune film --crf 21.0 --me umh --output "output" "input"

(See this screenshot: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1825604#post1825604)

So, the encoded file is reported by Mediainfo as:

Writing library : x264 core 152 r2851 ba24899
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=8 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=3 / lookahead_threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=50 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=21.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

I know I can add --b-adapt 2 as a custom command line in "Misc" tab, but maybe this could be fixed in the next version?

Thank you very much.

No :(

Thanks, please test it with the debug build: http://megui.org/megui_debug.zip
EDIT: Ignore it, I found the line. But I do not know what is causing it... I tried several Blu-ray files and it does work as intended. Searching...

[Zathor]

program --preset slow --tune film --crf 21.0 --me umh --output "output" "input"

As you wrote MeGUI is not adding anything related to --b-adapt as it is the default. So the problem likely is somewhere else. Could you maybe upload an encoding log if it is added there? Have you already tried to reset the profile to default?

[sneaker_ger]

as it is the default.
It's not anymore.

[numaios]

As you wrote MeGUI is not adding anything related to --b-adapt as it is the default.
But the default (nowadays) b-adapt option is 1 (fast), since last year:
http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264/x264-sandbox.git;a=commit;h=4e5adb87070c82b937c03e0cc030eae3578c251d

It's like if MeGUI "thought" it has an outdated x264 version.

Could you maybe upload an encoding log if it is added there?

Have you already tried to reset the profile to default?
Yes, I have.

-If you select "0-Off" in the dropdown list, " --b-adapt 0" is added to the command line.
-If you select "1-Fast" in the dropdown list, " --b-adapt 1" is added to the command line.
-If you select "2-Optimal" in the dropdown list, nothing is added to the command line (as if the default option was 2, but it isn't, so the x264 version used by MeGUI won't apply the correct setting)

[Zathor]

Thanks, I have adjusted last year the "Swap --me umh for --trellis 2" part, but it seems I have missed the --b-adapt change :rolleyes:

Oh, you are using the x64 version... the debug files will not work for that. Give me a few minutes and I will post another link...

Thank you! Should I post this issue in the Project page?

Thank you! Should I post this issue in the Project page?
No, it is already fixed in 2788. But I wait for other changes before I upload it.
Btw you will have to reset your profile to defaults or it will stay with --b-adapt 2. So only new installations/profiles will have that changed value.

OK :-)

[Zathor]

Thanks, that is strange. Could you please epxlain what you are doing? E.g. where is the mpls file located which you select (or do you have selected something else?)? Is this a proper Blu-ray strcuture? Do you get the popup asking you which playlist to choose? ...

[Morku]

Hm... I start MeGUI, go to Tools, AVS Script Creator, Video input and select the mpls. After few seconds it asks for decoder, I select File Indexer. Than the fatal error occur.
Normally I was able to pick between LSMASH, DGIndexNV etc. and add to Queue.

Yes, it's a proper Blu-ray which I check with BDInfo before I start. In this case, the mpls refers to ..\GIRL_NEXT_DOOR_F2\BDMV\STREAM\00800.M2TS and it is currently located under D:\Temp\BluRay\

EDIT:

I have tested little more and found a workaround:
Instead of picking the mpls file, I chosed the 00800.m2ts file under BDMV\STREAM -> File Indexer -> now I get asked to chose a playlist (thats a new behavior), I chose 00800.mpls -> OK -> the Input file changes to BDMV\PLAYLIST\00800.mpls -> I chose DGIndexNV for Queue.

To start the task also works.
But I wonder if it is a wanted behavior? There are mpls which refer to multiple m2ts files. But maybe I want pick out only one m2ts file and not a whole playlist. How I do now? In my opinion, to chose a playlist makes sense when I chose a mpls file (which currently doesn't work for me).

Intended was that if you abort the playlist selection window that then the originally selected file will be used (e.g. the m2ts file). This does not work as intended currently and will be included in the fix.

[LeMoi]

I just updated (automatically) with latest 2789 development server built, and I'm not comfortable with latest changes (especially the disparition of the DSSource, and the more annoying new File Indexer tool, which uses mpls file instead of just the m2ts file, which doubles the indexing time). How could I go back to the latest version that has the old File Indexer? Is this the 2774 I found in some other sites, or is there another one between the two builds?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I found some files in the update_cache folder, I'll try to fix it manually!

[Zathor]

It will be fixed/changed at the weekend. Dss can be enabled in the settings if really needed.

[LeMoi]

Thanks!
When I load an m2ts file from a blu-ray STREAM Folder, is there way to choose to index only the m2ts file, without looking for mpls file and creating a big MKV File ? Or is this the new way to do it?

[LigH]

BTW, the warning for FFMS2 that it strongly prefers MKV as input format is not so serious anymore since FFMS2 got rid of dependencies to Haali and uses now libavformat like L-SMASH Works.

Hello.

In One Click Encoder, after you select a file as input, if you are editing the name field of an audio track (before hitting "Queue"), and you misspell something and press backspace key to edit, that audio track is removed.

I've found this strange behaviour both in Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines.

Thank you.

Hi Zathor,

As always been, I greatly appreciate your effort in releasing the update to the wonderful MeGUI. If I may, I would like request these two things.

Will it possible to provide a pop-up in the "update" showing the release notes like you do on here and the release notes links of the pkgs being updated ?
Although there are guide online ( many of them seems out-dated though ), would it be possible for you or anyone who are experts in the encoding area on here prepare some encoding guides for various entities/options MeGUI provides?

Thanks a lot

[Melan]

Is it possible to remove this warning from logs?

You can always open the changelog yourself - there is the option in MeGUI: Help\Changelog

Sadly not by myself as I do not have the time to do that.

[tebasuna51]

@Melan

I can reproduce your log with a capture from a spanish TV, using MeGUI 2791:
command line: eac3to "D:\Video\Captura\Telecinco HD\data0001.ts"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2TS, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 0:01:04, 50i
1: h264/AVC, 1080i50 (16:9)
2: MP2, Spanish, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48kHz, -2690ms
3: MP2, qaa, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48kHz, -2610ms

The unique WARNING (but many times repeated) is:
--[Warning] [03/12/2017 12:14:52] The language information "qaa/qaa" is unknown. The default MeGUI language has been selected instead.

You can ignore the WARNINGS (both audios are extracted ok), is only the "qaa" not recognized like a language code.
Sometimes the "qaa" track is the original language, sometimes is the same "Spanish" dup.

Updating MeGUI to 2798 the "qaa" WARNING's disapear.

BTW other spanish TV's put "v.o" in that second track (Original Version) without identify the language.
eac3to "D:\Video\Captura\laSexta3\data0001.ts"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2TS, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 1 subtitle track, 0:03:05, 50i
1: MPEG2, 576i50 (16:9)
2: MP2, Spanish, 2.0 channels, 128kbps, 48kHz, -964ms
3: MP2, v.o, 1.0 channels, 96kbps, 48kHz, -1013ms

And I get multiple:
----[Warning] [03/12/2017 12:48:59] The language information "v.o/v.o" is unknown. The default MeGUI language has been selected instead.

We can't expect than MeGUI support anything than TV's want add to identify the languages used.

[tebasuna51]

Although there are guide online ( many of them seems out-dated though ), would it be possible for you or anyone who are experts in the encoding area on here prepare some encoding guides for various entities/options MeGUI provides?

You are right the guides become updated quickly, and is a big effort try to maintain a MeGUI guide with so many options.

Lets Zathor with our job, ask here for bugs or feature request, or in MeGUI: General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=105920), with specific data (source files and desired output) and some experienced user can help you.

[Zathor]

BTW other spanish TV's put "v.o" in that second track (Original Version) without identify the language
qaa is a valid ISO language code, while v.o is none. I wil therefore not add that.
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php

[tebasuna51]

qaa is a valid ISO language code, while v.o is none. I wil therefore not add that.

Of course, and is correct than MeGUI send a WARNING, the user must know than the language is not identified, even with "qaa" than MeGUI identify like "spanish" (my default language) when it is not always true.

@xara:

Both your system-installed AviSynth (2.58) and the portable AviSynth+ (r2508 MT) in MeGUI are considered "out of date"; something is strange with the update state of your MeGUI version.

Me gots r2508 MT too, for MeGUI 2774 Stable, 'no update available', just tested works fine (although I've got v2.6 standard installed).

I think that is the question. I uninstall and reinstall AviSynth 2.58, restart the machine, didn't help.
Next step will be a MeGUI reinstall from scratch. I'm picking up several filters in MeGUI/tools/avisynth_plugin directory, painfully collected over the years. Don't want to lose them.

I noticed that in x265 tuning the settings are missing, that are in x265 included (see attached pictures). For me the setting "Animation" are important.
So the question is, do you will insert these settings in the x265 tuning? I would be very grateful to you for that.

x265 don't have the same tunning than x264, like your image show only are allowed:

-t/--tune <string> Tune the settings for a particular type of source or situation:
psnr, ssim, grain, zerolatency, fastdecode

Hi
I have PAL 25.000 FPS Interlaced source. I selected Megui-Source Type: Interlaced, Deinterlace:Yadif. And added this code.

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\MeGUI.2767\tools\avisynth_plugin\yadifmod2.dll")
Yadifmod2(order=-1)

Yadifmod2 05.07.2016 version. Do you have a better Deinterlace filter or code for x264? I using AviSynth_260.
Video quality is important for me

Thanks

[LigH]

Yadif is not the worst, are you not satisfied in a specific case? TDeint is not bad either, possibly a bit more elaborate. The top quality deinterlacer today is probably QTGMC, but it's not so easy to maintain all used plugins, and it's not provided via AVS Script Creator in MeGUI, you may have to write such an AviSynth script manually and open it as source.

But do not rely only on MediaInfo reporting an encoding mode flag. Some media is encoded in interlaced mode for different reasons, despite the video content being progressive. Or it may be a result of norm conversions with blending. In both cases, applying a deinterlacer would not be the optimal strategy (either superfluous, or not effective).

[Gser]

it's not provided via AVS Script Creator in MeGUI, you may have to write such an AviSynth script manually and open it as source.
You can write whatever script you want in the AVS Script Creator in the Script tab. IMO all the rest of that autoencode one click nonsense could be removed.

[LigH]

Of course, you can type there whatever you know, and even save a new AviSynth template for re-use.

I just mean that QTGMC is not available in the drop list selection of deinterlacers, code wise. You can't use QTGMC in MeGUI only by clicking with the mouse (yet?).

For a PAL source I've always been pleased with the results using TIVTC (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/TIVTC)'s default settings for TFM (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/TIVTC/TFM). It's quite simple:

LoadPlugin("WhateverPath\TIVTC.dll")
TFM()

Drag your source onto MeGUI and index it. When the "Avisynth script creator" window opens click on the "Filters" tab, then under "Deinterlacing" click on "Analyse" (be sure to tick the box if the source is Anime), then select TIVTC from the drop-down menu.

After this apply any cropping, noise reduction, etc. in the following order (to the best of my knowledge):

<deinterlace>
<crop>
<denoise>
<resize>
<sharpen>
<deband>
<dither>

It looks like there's a regression in latest build, when opening an m2ts file, I cannot choose a single m2ts anymore, the File Indexer automatically loads an mpls without even letting me choose, I cannot cancel and keep opening the m2ts file alone like I did in the previous builds

[LouieChuckyMerry]

I'm with you; I never could figure out the One Click Encoder ;) . I've found having a couple dozen templates covering various types of video much simpler; choose the template for, for example, "DVD[NTSC(Hybrid=1)]", then open the script with Notepad++ (with the user defined language (http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files) "AVISynth") and adjust any necessary cropping-resizing-denoising settings. Batch the videos, batch the audios, then batch them together with MKVToolNix (https://mkvtoolnix.download/).

[Zathor]

Different users, different use cases. I myself use mainly OneClick as for me(!) it is the best way to process my files.
But in general good point, maybe it is worth to think about to remove AutoEncode in favor of OneClick.

That surprises me a lot. What does TFM do on its own, beyond helping TIVTC finding the Telecine pattern? And PAL does not have a 3:2 Telecine at all, that's only valid for the NTSC/Film relation.

Would it also help reverting a 25:24 pulldown of a choppy half-second norm conversion? And does it have any meaning for a real PAL interlaced TV recording?

P.S.:

... then open the script with Notepad++ (with the user defined language (http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files) "AVISynth") ...

VDubFilterMod has an integrated script editor too. Unfortunately the syntax highlighting appears to be rather basic, not analyzing the available function set of the AviSynth installation. Might be a valid Feature Request to make the highlighting more customizable?! :rolleyes:

I live in NTSCland, so I've only ever encountered a couple PAL sources, always DVD's. These rare instances I've followed the TIVTC (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/TIVTC) recommendations:

PAL Cases:

1.) PAL, no decimation (just field matching)
mpeg2source("c:\oursource.d2v")
tfm(d2v="c:\oursource.d2v")


and the results have been fine. However, it seems perhaps these are simply instances where my ignorance has gone unpunished :D .

PAL DVD's, 25fps 1080 blu-ray's and tv is still interlaced, in this case I'm talking about original progressive frames separated into fields, so TFM makes sure the fields are properly combined without combing or heaven forbid using some kind of other deinterlacing. For hybrid material you can specify an externally deinterlaced source which is nice also, so if tfm detects a frame to be interlaced it will use that instead. I haven't seen any material that has added duplicated frames instead of speeding the material up from film speed but technically is is possible so you would want to remove those with tdecimate and tfm can flag those for removal (I'm only guessing the flagging works with PAL material).

Personally if I make more complicated scripts I use AvsPmod.

[Groucho2004]

Instead, I would prefer the AVSMeter method: Request a list of available functions from the used AviSynth.dll; but I am not one of its programmers.
The internal functions for syntax highlighting are hard-coded in CAvisynth.cpp in the VDub script editor code. Modifying the code to retrieve the functions dynamically should be rather simple.

[LigH]

@Gser:

That's what I mean ... AFAIR, TFM only flags frames, but it does not alter the clip's frame content. So, to remove duplicate fields, one would need a "TFM flag aware" other filter after TFM. Am I wrong here?

[LeMoi]

It does work for me (using 2800). I select a M2TS file, playlist opens and I click on cancel - m2ts only selected.
I tried today with another BD, and this time it worked fine, I don't know if the problem came from the other BD or anything else...

[Megalith]

Can MeGUI be updated so it remembers window size and positioning?

[LigH]

For me, the main window remembers its size.

Check if it is able to update its settings.xml (one of the reasons why it should not be installed in an UAC protected directory like C:\Program Files...).

[LouieChuckyMerry]

MeGUI 2800 Development Server (Portable Version): My main window remembers its size and position, and once I adjust my Worker 1 window position it remembers every time it's used until I close MeGUI (not that I ever do ;) ). None of my Tool windows (Stream Extractor, Bitrate Calculator, etc.) remembers its position, but this isn't an issue for me.

[Zathor]

Only the main window and the update window will remember size & position between MeGUI sessions

@Gser:

That's what I mean ... AFAIR, TFM only flags frames, but it does not alter the clip's frame content. So, to remove duplicate fields, one would need a "TFM flag aware" other filter after TFM. Am I wrong here?

It's not uncommon for the "fields" in a progressive PAL source to be out of alignment, or out of phase, or whatever the description is. Before I discovered that, I'm sure I would have de-interlaced progressive PAL in the past, thinking it was interlaced because it looked interlaced. It wasn't until I started de-interlacing to 50fps and realised the output had repeated frames that I discovered something was wrong.

So TFM definitely gets an occasional look in when encoding PAL, although usually only when it's needed for field matching as I usually disable it's de-interlacing anyway TFM(pp=1).
If the source is interlaced or partially interlaced I prefer to run QTGMC the standard way rather than create an external de-interlaced clip for TFM to use, and TFM won't de-interlace to "double frame rate" anyway.

Actually TFM could use an update in that respect. When it's in VFR mode it'd be nice if it could de-interlace to 50fps/59.940fps rather than 25fps/29.970fps. I should ask about it in the TIVTC thread.

[LigH]

I believe your reply does not answer my question. And I still believe you missed the whole point.

Does TFM on its own (without a following TIVTC or TDecimate) change the number or order of fields or frames, at all?

[hello_hello]

I believe your reply does not answer my question. And I still believe you missed the whole point.

Does TFM on its own (without a following TIVTC or TDecimate) change the number or order of fields or frames, at all?

Yes it does. For telecined NTSC, TFM does all the shuffling, dropping and duplication of fields (and de-interlacing if need be), and sends whole frames to TDecimate for duplicate removal. That's easy enough to confirm by adding TFM to a script without TDecimate when the source is telecined, although I think TFM keeps TDecimate fairly well informed to help it decide what's video and what's film etc, because TDecimate removes the duplicates and/or converts from 29.970fps to 23.976fps when the source is hybrid, or from 23.976fps to 29.970fp as the case may be. TDecimate also creates the timecodes file for VFR encoding, if you don't want to be dropping/adding/blending frames for a constant frame rate

There's a sample of the type of PAL source I referred to in my last post, attached to the opening post here (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/368124-Interlaced-scanning-progressive-video).
It looks interlaced and smells interlaced but it's progressive and all that's required to fix it is TFM(pp=0).

For progressive PAL sources with shifted fields it's usually quite safe to disable TFM's de-interlacing as I'd assume they're shifted by the same amount from beginning to end so there shouldn't be any de-interlacing required. When a PAL source appears to be interlaced but I think it should be progressive, I'm in the habit of disabling TFMs de-interlacing for testing anyway, so then if the combing disappears I know it must be the result of field matching and I won't be fooled into thinking it's not interlaced when it is.

[hello_hello]

It must be a while since I've encoded a PAL source with phase shifted fields, but I was reading through the VideoHelp thread I linked to for a memory refresh, and it reminded me I've used jagabo's suggestion from post #7 for outputting progressive frames successfully, no TFM required, because generally the fields will be phase shifted from beginning to end. All you need to do is separate them, remove the first one, then weave them back together again.

When opening an avisynth script with a 1080 video in megui on my laptop which I think has a 768 px vertical resolution, the video preview window is so large that the controls are below the screen and therefore unusable. I hope something can be done about that...? I seem to recall some 4K video I was working on appeared in a resized preview window. Using megui development version 2814.

edit: OK, now when I opened another script with the same resolution, the window suddenly _did_ fit the screen. The window had sliders to scroll since the content resolution is pixel by pixel on screen. Guess I actually need a proper description for when the window actually misbehaves. The problem script used FFVideoSource for an .afs file, and the good one LWLibavVideoSource for an .mkv file, but maybe there's more to it. Sorry, will be back...

[hello_hello]

Zathor, thanks for the update.

I'm posting this here because I uploaded a sample (DVD files) to another thread and thought you might want to look at it.
The sample contains closed caption subtitles and regular bitmap subtitles. The closed captions don't show up when you open the IFO with MeGUI's VobSubber but MeGUI does extract them as SRT along with the regular subtitles. I thought you might want to look at getting the CCs to display in the VobSubber window.

Cheers.
https://ufile.io/6b6k5 (18MB)

PS Possibly because it's such a small sample, I only get one shot at extracting the subtitles unless I delete the chunks file added to the source folder during extraction. If it's present, subsequent extractions will probably fail. I don't know what the chunks file does, but I thought I should mention it in case you have the same problem.

[Zathor]

Thanks, not sure how to detect that properly based on the IFO file format.

[j8ee]

Feature request: Being able to put a trailing/suffix project name for encoded files in the one-click configuration instead of only a leading/prefix addition. It's a small thing, but for me it would be much more convenient to have encoded files show up adjacent to the originals in a file listing when they are in the same directory..

[Zathor]

Only in the OneClick configuration or also when asked at the start of a batch job?

[j8ee]

hmm... I have never started a batch job I believe. Is it when you add a whole folder in the one-click encoder? But I guess it would be convenient in any case.

Infile can be raw (in which case resolution is required),

Outfile type is selected by filename:

* mode 6 = Lib/binary with 8 and 10-bit, and libavformat and ffms2 with video codecs only

[sneaker_ger]

Are those features relevant to MeGUI?

[LigH]

Saving as MP4 or MKV, possibly, marginally. Multiplexing raw AVC is supported quite well, too, even by providing attributes possibly missing in raw streams.

So, the best reason may be: MeGUI as a quite reliable source for an allround-useful x264 binary.

After "Suspend"

I'd imagine you'd have to abort the job before deleting it. If it's only suspended then it's probably effectively still running.

No. It's an user directory. All I did is, disabled "UseAutoUpdate".
And when I say yes, it updates fine (no UAC). But it's annyoing.

[Zathor]

There was a request that if "AutoUpdate" is disabled for each communication user confirmation should be raised. However I will check if this cannot be reduced (e.g. a never ask again checkbox for the second one)

2825 [Jobs] improved handling of jobs which cannot be paused (e.g. L-SMASH Indexer)

Thanks for the hint, there are 2 job types (L-SMASH + Cleanup) which cannot be paused. Pausing them before 2825 caused issues in the job queue handling.

[Morku]

I prefer the old way. I don't like automatic checks. I do myself.
And when I do, I don't need to get asked a second time. Why? When updates are found, I have to click update again anyway, which is fine, because there might be a package I don't want update yet and can be unchecked. The old way was perfect. I can't figure out, whats the benefit of this extra box. My opinion.

EDIT: qpmax defaults was changed from 69 to 81. Whats the cause of it? How it does impact the encoding result?

Seems like MeGUI have issues with indexing MKV file. It's a AVC stream extracted from a BluRay structure through the HD Streams Extractor.
I try and load the MKV file but then the indexer ask to select a playlist. Don't know what's going on....... it have never been like this earlier to my knowledge.

Probably because builds are now multi-bitdepth. qpmax is 69 for 8 bit and 81 for 10 bit.

[Barough]

In the screenshot you have "00348.mpls" selected, not any mkv file. Are you saying MeGUI automatically selected "00348.mpls"?

"I try and load the MKV file but then the indexer ask to select a playlist." and the playlist i selected was '00348.mpls'.

Something have changed in MeGUI. It wasn't like this earlier. No issues at all with loading MKV files.

[sneaker_ger]

No problem here.

Same problem with other mkv files or just that one?

[Barough]

Have 3 mkv files and it's the same with all of them. When i load the MKV file so do i have to select a playlist instead. This is so wierd.......

Gonna start over with a fresh MeGUI 'setup' and see what happens


[EDIT]
No difference with a 'fresh setup'. Still getting the same 'Warning' and why the hell is MeGUI's Indexer make me select a playlist when i load the extracted MKV file that just contain the video stream..........

This makes me nuts. :confused: :mad:

[Morku]

Probably because builds are now multi-bitdepth. qpmax is 69 for 8 bit and 81 for 10 bit.

Thanks. When loading defaults in MeGUI, x264 is set to qpmax 81 in 8-Bit.
Should I change...?

[sneaker_ger]

No, not necessary. It will probably be silently lowered to 69 in 8 bit mode.

[Zathor]

I prefer the old way. I don't like automatic checks. I do myself.
And when I do, I don't need to get asked a second time. Why? When updates are found, I have to click update again anyway, which is fine, because there might be a package I don't want update yet and can be unchecked. The old way was perfect. I can't figure out, whats the benefit of this extra box. My opinion.


In the old way MeGUI did always check (at program start and when you have opened the updater) if there are new files available. This did even take place when the AutoUpdate was disabled. Because of that you could not downgrade to an older version (while online) as always the new files have been used and not the ones in the update_cache folder.
Also it would have been downloaded any package automatically if detected as missing/outdated.

Maybe a third option is needed between autoupdate enabled and disabled.

EDIT: qpmax defaults was changed from 69 to 81. Whats the cause of it? How it does impact the encoding result?

I only changed it as the recent x264 has changed the qp max value range from 69 to 81.
--qp <integer> Force constant QP (0-81, 0=lossless)

Also I noticed this here but have not changed it:
--crf <float> Quality-based VBR (-12-51) [23.0]
--qpmax <integer> Set max QP [2147483647]

[sneaker_ger]

qpmax is an error in the help. devs already know about it.
crf is correct. Can be negative for 10 bit.

[sneaker_ger]

I only changed it as the recent x264 has changed the qp max value range from 69 to 81.
The range didn't change. It's the difference between 8 bit and 10 bit encoding. Not new.

[Zathor]

So 69 for 8 bit and 81 for 10bit?

[sneaker_ger]

Yes. (Luckily x264cli accepts "81" for 8 bit output and silently assumes 69. So nothing is really broken, only cosmetics.)

[Barough]

Ok...... here we go. Found a 'solution' for my issue. If i move the extrated MKV file out of the BR folder structure and then index it, so does it work just fine. But the thing is, something must have changed with MeGUI since i've NEVER needed to do this earlier. Hope to hear what Zathor have to say about this.

[Zathor]

Thank you very much, then I will not modify it further.

What is the issue?
EDIT: Nevermind, missed the other posts from today...

[LigH]

I never noticed a negative CRF being allowed. Surprises every day... is it only reported for a single-depth build? I usually create multilib builds.

[Zathor]

Seems like MeGUI have issues with indexing MKV file. It's a AVC stream extracted from a BluRay structure through the HD Streams Extractor.
I try and load the MKV file but then the indexer ask to select a playlist. Don't know what's going on....... it have never been like this earlier to my knowledge.

File Index Issues
Log : https://pastebin.com/VFe4t6aX
Screenshot : https://imgur.com/a1RvWR4

Last time i used MeGUI was with rev2808 or 2810 (or something like that). Worked just fine then.
[EDIT]
Could have been earlier then rev2808. The last encode i made through MeGUI was bk in the middle of December last year

Since 2787 MeGUI does always show the playlist selection dialogue if something inside of a proper Blu-ray or DVD structure is opened. Click the window away (e.g. with cancel) and your selected file is used instead.

What maykes me more wonder is why you get an error with the playlist.

[Barough]

Thnx for the reply/info m8. :)

The playlist error surely is wierd, since it's a vaild playlist in the BD structure

[Zathor]

Found the error:
Yours:
[Information] Format: Blu-ray Playlist / Blu-ray Playlist

Mine:
[Information] Format: Blu-ray Playlist

I use that one instead of FormatString to get the name which then lateron does not match.

[Barough]

Good to hear u found the issue. :)
Will there be an update/fix or you gonna leave it as it is?

[Zathor]

It will be changed for sure. I assume you get this because of the multi-angle disc.

What are the new conditions for using DSS ? I tried to open an m2ts file, an mkv and an mp4 in the AVS script creator, it was not available... Option is checked in the settings.

[LigH]

MeGUI 2826, DirectShowSource enabled in settings: It's available for me, testing with one MP4 file. Maybe MeGUI detected that your system is unable to build an automatic DS filter graph due to missing filters? Do you possibly have a log file of your attempt to open such a file? Maybe there are details logged why it failed, and DirectShowSource was withheld?

[LeMoi]

Sorry I don't know what happened, I just closed and opened MeGUI and it worked again... It looks some filter was busy or not recognized, but when I restarted MeGUI I had no problem using DSS

Haven't used MeGUI for a few weeks but when I did MeGUI 2818 Developer crashed upon opening and I was greeted with this error:

MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I checked Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Application and noticed that the crash was a conflict between MeGUI and .NET Framework 4.7.1.
I had resonantly installed a .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852 through Windows Update.

I uninstalled the KB4054852 update and MeGUI worked fine.

I've used MeGUI Developer for years and love it - This is my 1st real issue with it.

Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

Looks an issue with MeGUI not handling this .NET Framework 4.7.1 update.

Thanks for any info - RON

--------------------------------------
Update: After uninstalling the .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852, I updated MeGUI to v2827 developer then downloaded
NDP471-KB4054856-x86-x64-AllOS.exe and installed it manually and all is well.

My only guess is that MeGUI v2818 becomes dead in the water if you install the .NET Framework 4.7.1 update KB4054852 before updating
MeGUI to v2827.

So the lessen learned is to update Megui to the latest version before updating .NET Framework ;o)

Hi! Good day! I would like to ask some help if possible on how to make a hardsub video using MeGUI with an MP4 output.

Sources are almost MKV, small chances on MP4.

I think hardsub is the solution for videos I uploaded. The original videos I uploaded has softsub but it won't show on video hosting sites.

I hope you can help me. Thank you!

Best regards,

[hello_hello]

If you have the subtitles ready to go, open a source file with the File Indexer, add the job to the queue, switch to the Queue tab and run it. When the indexing is done, the Script Creator should open with a preview. Subtitles are added to a script under the Script Creator's Filters tab.

Or use the OneClick encoder. It'll also batch encode. I assume it can extract any subtitles contained in the source files. I'm not sure about using separate subtitles though (individual srt or ass subtitle files etc). Someone else will probably know.

"Hardsub" means to render the subtitles into the converted video, using AviSynth video filters, so you best look in the "AVS Script Creator" in its "Filters" tab at the bottom.

You'll have to index if you want to modify scripts with the Script Creator or preview each script for adding it to the queue for encoding. The OneClick encoder is designed to make the whole process automatic.
My previous post described one way of doing indexing, step x step. If you open a source file with the File Indexer as I suggested, MeGUI will add the indexing job to the job queue, and from there you can run it by switching to the Queue tab.
I'll confess I didn't include instructions on how to open the File Indexer, because I assumed you knew all the Tools are found under the Tools menu, the File Indexer included.

If you open a source another way, via the File/Open menu for example, or by opening the Script Creator and selecting the source as the video input, MeGUI should offer to open the File Indexer for you, and from there the steps would be much the same as the steps I described in my previous post.

Hi Zathor! Thanks for your great work.

I have a feature request for mp4 muxing:

Can you add an option to use the -ipod switch when you use the muxer. The reason for it is that in my experience DLNA servers usually don't recognise embedded subtitles in the file without it, but they work fine if it is used. Haven't had any negative experiences or incompatibilities using it yet.

An option for -itags 'name' and 'cover' would also be nice, but I suspect that's much more work compared to the benefit.

As written there "DirectShowSource or AVISource" is not supported. So this file cannot be opened at all with DSS - maybe a splitter or filter is missing.

But you should really use one of the indexing options as DSS may not be frame accurate.

Most probably. The "smarter" the anti-malware engine, the more suspicious. Already an update check may appear malicious then.

I find it entertaining that "suspicious" can have quite opposite meanings in English, whereas German has separate terms for them.

This happens sometimes sadly. I cannot do much. A file which doenloads other files is detected sometimes as a malicious program.

[LigH]

Malware experts even recommend not to trust 3rd-party security suites too much, because they are rather an additional attack vector, compared to Microsoft's own antivirus tools (e.g. exploiting previously secure connections insecurely to cloud services and opening unnecessary ports for company specific network services). With enough "common sense", it may even be safer to disable dedicated antivirus services and trust only your wit and the built-in firewall ... well, if you trust your wit. :o The fact that large companies still get compromised by "social malware" (email attachments with luring mail bodies) and ransomware (lacking OS updates due to "service contract" restrictions) prove that "common sense" is not common enough.

[kuchikirukia]

I haven't updated MeGUI in forever so I don't know if there's been a change to this, but is there a reason Abort doesn't just kill the x264 process? It's irritating when I'm encoding at 0.5fps and it locks the filename I want to use for 15 minutes until x264 finishes doing whatever it's doing unless I kill it in Task Manager.
Having the encoding stats logged is nice, but IMO that's not worth the interminable lag.

[Zetti]

Thanks for info Zathor and LigH

[LigH]

@kuchikirukia - do you use the x64 mode with avs4x26x bridge? I guess that MeGUI may stop the pipe bridge process, but that does not reliably stop the x264 encoder process as well?

[kuchikirukia]

@kuchikirukia - do you use the x64 mode with avs4x26x bridge? I guess that MeGUI may stop the pipe bridge process, but that does not reliably stop the x264 encoder process as well?

Yes. It doesn't stop x264 ever.
I'm guessing x264 queues up a bunch of frames (perhaps the lookahead number?) and it doesn't exit until it's done with those frames, because the lag certainly seems to be encoding-speed based.

[videoh]

I find it entertaining that "suspicious" can have quite opposite meanings in English Nah, that's false. What are these supposedly opposite meanings?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suspicious

[LigH]

a) I find some specific person (a suspect) or incident suspicious (ominous, fishy). Someone/something is "verdächtig", focus is on the subject.

b) I am quite suspicious (distrustful) on the average, possibly even without a specific reason. I am "argwöhnisch", focus is on myself.

Well, not opposite meanings, but opposite focus. If I said about myself being "verdächtig", I would be the suspect, I would e.g. be supposed to have commited a crime.

So, until further refinement, "I am suspicious" in English appears ambiguous to me, whereas in German, I am either "verdächtig" (blame on me) or "argwöhnisch" (blame on everything else), that's quite a difference.

I cannot change output path for the .lwi file anymore when I use File indexer, the opened window tries to open the lwi file instead of saving, is it normal?

"Only" 63 dlls :)
And yes, it is on purpose as MS is using a lot of files for the 2017 ones.

If anyone knows how to easily and reliable check if they are properly installed I do not have to do that.

OK :)

Could they possibly be dumped into a folder rather than to root?

I cannot change output path for the .lwi file anymore when I use File indexer, the opened window tries to open the lwi file instead of saving, is it normal?

Seems to be fixed in lastest update, thanks :)
