MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Zathor]

My XP is 32bit, not 64bit. So I thought it would write x86 (I may be wrong).
There's absolutely no issue with that. MeGUI works great.
It's only (probably useless) for your information. :o
I fixed that already yesterday and committed it a few hours ago to sourceforge. [OSInfo] changed x64 detection, fixed a few typos But thanks for your report! Oh, and it is NOT useless. Without this fix another function does not work properly.

[TDC.net]

Another question:

If I run several audio encodes in temporary workers, it asks me to close each of this workers at the end.
Why does it ask for this? What is the idea for that? I don't really understand it, so it seems useless to me.
Do we need this or could it be removed (or optionally disabled)?

Thanks

You answered your own question. You are using temporary workers in this situation. If you don't want to shutdown your workers, then create permanent ones.

And just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it is useless.

[Zathor]

If you don't want to shutdown your workers, then create permanent ones.
Exactly that is the point. Is the question "do you want to shutdown the worker" really necessary? Or should a temporary worker be closed automatically after the assigned job has been completed? And as I understand TDC.net that is his question, too.

[Adub]

Ah! I understand the question now. Okay, I see your point. Since I don't edit the code myself, you can do it one of two ways. Have a checkbox in the settings menu to disable this, or simply turn it off all together. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

[TDC.net]

Sorry if my question was confusing.

Zathor, you're right, the question is "why do I have to confirm the closure of this temporary workers".
I do not want to have permanent workers because I want only one video to encode at the same time, cause it's using almost 100% CPU, but several audio encodes at the same time to speed up audio encoding (nero uses only one of my eight threads for each transcode).

So what'S the idea for this question "Close temp worker"?

BEst would be an option to have several workers for audio, but (as option) only one worker for video. But I guess this is really a little bit special, so I don't know if this would be useful for others as well...

Is your patched build merged with the SF.net one or aren't all the changes and fixes implemented on it?

i.e. your build = SF.net MeGUI SVN?

Edit: Looks like I have to delete a profile two times to actually delete it. (edited again, happened one or two times, I can't reproduce. maybe bad profiles?)

Edit 2: The profile (http://www.mediafire.com/?rzqezmjz1qj) I use for anime, if anyone is interested (not a bad profile).

[quantum5uicid3]

the profiles are saved when you close megui, so if you delete it in explorer when megui is open, it will recreate it when you close megui. yes-no?

[ircopdd]

why megui 1059 use dgavcindex??

I can not choose dgavcindexNV

[Adub]

TDC,simply create one worker for your video files then assign your audio files to a different worker or workers. An encode will only queue on a worker basis, so as long as you use separate workers you should be fine.

[TDC.net]

Thanks Adub for the hint!

[Zathor]

Regarding the temporary workers. I would like to change it that way that a temporary worker is closed automatically without question. Any objections arising?

Correct. Settings, log file and profiles are saved during closing of MeGUI.

;1354533']Is your patched build merged with the SF.net one or aren't all the changes and fixes implemented on it?
i.e. your build = SF.net MeGUI SVN?

No, the build I am using is different from the one at SF. Otherwise I had to commit every few minutes and the commit may be not stable at all. I commit only the changes as soon as I am sure that they are working.
EDIT: Sorry, I have been half asleep. Yes, the build you can download in this thread is already merged completly with SF. But some new things have not been committed yet.

why megui 1059 use dgavcindex?? I can not choose dgavcindexNV I had to change it because of the a few changes to the tool paths. Nevertheless the next build will have hopefully support for DGIndexNV and therefore you won't need dgavcindexnv anymore.

My question about content of x264_r1376.zip at http://www.constructd.com/megui/:
why it include project files and some .exe files
x264_64_wrap.c
x264_64_wrapper.c
avs4x264.exe
vfw4x264.exe
avisynth_c.h

The next build includes support for x64 versions of x264.exe. The wrapper is needed to feed 64bit x264 with 32bit avisynth. The source code is included because that's the way the author has been distributed the files.

Is that means if my OS is 64bit (which it is), MeGUI will automatically execute x264 64bit version instead of 32bit version? Any idea on speed benefit?

:thanks:

[Zathor]

I did several benchmarks and the process has been in average 6% faster (mostly between 4 and 8%) than the 32bit x264. My conclusion is also that the avs4x264.exe is slightly faster than the "old" method with pipebuf.exe and avs2yuv.exe. But this may vary from system to system and setting to setting.

Thanks for the input and great to know about the 6% improvement. To me 6% improvement is A LOT in encoding world, which I'm very happy to hear. But I guess you missed my first question. :p

Yes :)

[nakTT]

Yes :)
Glad to know that too.

Is there any way for the to tell which version (not revision) of x264 (either 32/64 bit) used by looking at the output video? I mean, does MeGUI have any tools to determine it? Thanks for your excellent work for MeGUI.

The output video is the same for both encoders. In the log file you can see which command is executed - avs2x264.exe for 64bit and x264.exe for 32bit.

My OS is Vista Business 64bit, here what I got from MeGUI log.

Job commandline: "C:\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264.exe"

Is that means the 32bit version of x264 has been choosen by MeGUI instead of the 64bit?

:thanks:

[Zathor]

Yes...

In the log file is a line about your OS. There should be an x64 in the string.
EDIT: MediaFire is sloww as hell for me at the moment. So I cannot check if the file has been correctly uploaded. Does the MEGUI.exe has a timestamp from today?

hello, i've a simple question on MEGUI.

I've downloaded it from sourceforce (i have version 1056 installed).

If i use internel update megui download for example x264 build 1183. But i check on x264 website that is out version 1376.

Maybe internal update is... out-of date?

Or did i dowload a wrong version? Thank you very much

The new changes have not been published to the stable server. If you want to test them you can switch to the development server (Options\Settings\Extra config\Configure Servers\Development)

This is the old build. Redownload the file from the first post and extract them to your MeGUI directory. The MeGUI.exe should be newer that your file.

Perhaps you want to download "MeGUI Patched Build" by Zathor. It has all the latest updates.

Just curious, is that means the one on the update server is not the current one? Because mine is the latest update as far as the update server is concern.

I see. Now I understand that I need MeGUI 1060 to get x264 64bit work.

x264_64_wrap.c
x264_64_wrapper.c
avs4x264.exe
vfw4x264.exe
avisynth_c.h
Before this I thought that as long as I have all of the above (updated by the update server), the x264 64bit will just work.

Thanks for clear things up.

:thanks:

A request

It would be nice to have a droplist with --sar values somewhere.

10:11, 1:1, 12:11, 40:33, 4:3, 15:11, 16:11, 3:2, 160:99, 18:11, 20:11, 64:33, 2:1, 24:11, 80:33, 32:11

I'm too lazy to write it in the command line everytime I need one of them.

I haven't had any problems with the GUI so far.

Thanks

[SacredCultivator]

Just tested the new Dev. Build and got to say, loving that it auto detects my OS as 64-bit and uses the 64-bit of x264. Thanks.

Yes, but I deleted using MeGUI.
But they were old profiles, they weren't supposed to be there anyway, so no problem. :)

With the new dev. build, my XP SP3 32bits is now detected correctly.

Regarding your DGAVCIndex problems. I have the same problem with your file even with a basic avs script outside of MeGUI. Therefore I assume it is a problem with the file or DGAVCIndex. Please have a look at the DGIndex forum: http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=5
