MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[Zathor]

Have you tried the OneClick tool? Maybe this is what you are searching for.

[ph4nt0m]

Yes I did, and I would love to use it instead of AutoEncode, since it would even further reduce the amount of manual work required. But since I need to specify the crop values by hand (remember my request (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1643758#post1643758)), I tried to go the AutoEncode route:


Open source file
Let MeGUI index the file and check "On completion load files"
Change the cropping as intended (the rest of the avs script will already be prepared thanks to the AviSynth templates :))
Save script and click "AutoEncode"


This workflow would be nearly perfect for me because the most time-consuming steps (encoding and muxing) could be performed without any further input. It's just that I would like to store a decent video title inside the mp4 container (preferably just the input file name), which cannot be done at the moment.

[hello_hello]

New numbers will be assigned from 1 on of they are free. So if a job is completed and deleted from the queue this number will be reused. I do not understand the reson for this request as this should not cause any problems. Can you describe in more detail why you think this change is needed?

It's not that it causes problems. It was just a thought to make searching through the log file a little easier. Often jobs can be very similar, or even the same, and a unique job number would make identifying the correct one in the log file a little easier. Other than that, it's no major concern.

[hello_hello]

In MeGUI's options, under Default Languages, the language choices are in alphabetical order.... aside from "English", which can be found in between "Hungarian" and "Icelandic".

[Zathor]

Thanks, changed!

[Zathor]

How did you add the zones?
EDIT: Problem is likely the , in q=21,2 - should have been a .
Will be fixed in the next build
Workaround: Use 21,0 instead of 21,2 and 26,0 instead of 26,2

[mini-moose]

after update to 2409 the program asks for restart, but it doesn't launch back. When I relaunch it manually it's still at 2402.

[Zathor]

Yes, that is sadly the out of sync mirror server. You must update to 2407+ to get rid of that. As you wrote you are still at 2402, correct? Otherwise please post the log.

How does one update to 2407+?
I have only ever updated when MeGui is launched and says there is an update. :confused:

EDIT:
Just tried changing the update server, and after trying stable and then reverting back to development it now correctly made the update to 2409. :cool:

A example for --zones:

--zones 0,1000,crf=16.5/1001,2000,crf=18/2001,3000,crf=16

it works now. I've modified 26,2 into just 26

Thanks.

1 more question: if i set only the end credit zone, is the main movie encoded with the quantitizer setted in the x264 config window (21.2) ? or is it encoded as the end credit zone (26) ?

This is the new log that works, with only 1 zone:

The zones are overwriting the values in the normal command line. Therefore all frames outside of your zone are using 21.2.

Also, but I might be wrong, when that happens, right-click on Windows taskbar also dont work.

[Zathor]

Please upload somewhere your job\job[number].xml file from the job which is failing when you do a right click on it.

[mini-moose]

When I use One Click Encoder and add 3 subtitles (.srt in my case), the first one follows the default language I chose for subtitles, the 2nd and 3rd need to be set manually for that.
However, once I add the third srt stream, the language tag I added on the 2nd stream disappears.

[Zathor]

Thanks - fixed

@Zathor
Is there a possibility to let work MeGui with xvid_encraw 64 bit ?

http://www.xvidvideo.ru/component/docman/doc_download/1823-xvid-122-x64-vaq-stable-release-----without-installer.html

[detmek]

Please upload somewhere your job\job[number].xml file from the job which is failing when you do a right click on it.

Sorry Zathor. I couldn't reproduce the problem. Maybe it was problem with my AV program. I was testing Avast 9 Beta, so maybe that was a problem.

[TSoft]

Other question, I have enabled x264 10 bit encoding but in the task manager I always see x264_64.exe and not x264-10b_64.exe.
What do I wrong ?

[detmek]

You have to enable 10-bit encoder in MeGUIs main settings and in x264 configuration dialog.

[Leinad4Mind]

Hi there, I've created this simple .avs:

DGSource("D:\Blu-Ray\GLOBAL_EDITION\5star.dgi") with DGAVCIndexDI.exe (using DiAVC) and when I try to load the .avs on MeGUI, the .avs can't load and crash MeGUI.

I tried to open the same .avs on avspmod, and there are no problem for it to open. Does MeGUI support DGAVCDecodeDI.dll ? Why it crash?

BRegards

[TSoft]

Thanks you very much my friend :)

[TSoft]

I do not know for sure the capabilities of the x264 10bit, but in a test the result was horrible. The video was unwatchable, the DRF was too high. Encode time higher 60%. Maybe I was wrong in some stettings....

[detmek]

10-bit usually provides 10-20% better quality for 20% longer encoding time. What is command line use for 10-bit encoding?

Unwatchable how? I assume you need to have a decoder that
can play it right too.

[TSoft]

Oops :(

What player ? I used Media Player Classic - Home Cinema with CoreCodec

[mini-moose]

Oops :(

What player ? I used Media Player Classic - Home Cinema whit CoreCodec

To be honest I don't have 10-bit decoder installed, but I tried playing a x264 10-bit encode once and it's like in slow motion and choppy without a proper decoder.

[TSoft]

Ok I think that mplayer2 does the trick. I will do some tests and let you know. Thanks guys.

[mini-moose]

Ok I think that mplayer2 does the trick. I will do some tests and let you know. Thanks guys.

I could be wrong, I don't have a lot of experience with 10-bit.

[detmek]

LAV Video decoder works just fine with 10-bit H.264 files and is internal part of newest MPC-HC now (available as standalone filter too).

Recently when I click right mouse button on a job, MeGUI always returns an error. Then I try again and no error appears.
Are you able to provide more details? E.g. which job type is it? Please upload your job files (MeGUI\Jobs).

[cengizhan]

i have encountered this same bug after right clicking on an aborted job.

[Zathor]

Which job type was it? E.g. x264 encoding, AVI muxing, ...

[Overdrive80]

[Feature request]

I wonder if would be possible load files in megui on mode batch. For example, open windows from "Audio Input" and select 10 files. Then megui save of way internal (in array, for example), for encoding 10 files with same "Enconder settings". Would be implement???

Thanks.

[detmek]

Hi Zathor. Since my problem is same as previous poster I managed to reproduce error.
Here is log (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19804113/Forumi/Fajlovi/doom9/MeGUI%20log.log) and job files (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19804113/Forumi/Fajlovi/doom9/jobs.rar).
I got error by right clicking on aborted 1st pass x264 encoding job, as you can see in log.

[Capsbackup]

I am having problems with MeGui using the chapter creator feature.
I record 1080i HD captures with a Hauppauge HD DVR, cut the commercials with VideoRedo, and use MeGui to reencode the video using the AVCHD profile.
I set the chapters in MeGui where the commercials were cut so to add an I frame where I want the chapter but on several occasions there is no I frame inserted at the location, and in some cases for an additional 7 seconds before an I frame is inserted. Needless to say the chapter points will not even be close in these instances.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to force more I frames with x264? :confused:

[Kurtnoise]

A logfile can help...

[Kurtnoise]

this is not the logfile but the jobfile.

The logfile is created when you right click on the log tab...

I guess my question regarding using the chapter creator option is that even though I create a QP file, and set desired chapter location frames, there is no I frame created at this frame number, and on a few encodes there was no I frame inserted either before this frame number or after, and not for several seconds after on some attempts.

[Capsbackup]

I ran another encode of the same file that was not placing I frames according to the chapter creator QP file made, but this time inserting, in the x264 configuration dialog, Misc, Custom Command Line:
--keyint 24 --min-keyint 1
Now the chapters are placed correctly, or are at least so close that this is acceptable! :D Now I frames appear about every 22-23 frames apart.
Was this what I was missing?
Will the encoded file still be AVCHD / Blu-ray compatible?

You may prefer to copy the log after you actually encoded a job. Your currently posted log does not contain results of any just recently processed job, just what happened after starting MeGUI.

Log files are also saved into the folder MeGUI\logs; try to find the log of the date and time when a reportable job ran.

[Kurtnoise]

Seems like you have close/reopen MeGUI after your encoding, right ? Your logfile is not complete...you've pasted only the 1st part.

In this case, the logfile is located in the logs folder in MeGUI subdirectory. Just copy & paste here the last file from this folder.



/me slower than LigH

I was wondering why the log was incomplete! :(

I was using the AVCHD profile for this job and posted log, but after inserting:
--keyint 24 --min-keyint 1
I now am successful to get the chapters aligned with the commercial cuts. I was not getting any I frames for several seconds at these locations before adding this.

From my understanding, MeGUI's Chapter Creator only creates QP files based on 25 fps. If your video is anything other than 25 fps then the key frames are going to be off.

I have submitted this bug here (https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/bugs/735/)

Possible workarounds:
Use the One Click Encoder when loading mpls (Blu-ray) or other files with chapters in them.
Manually create QP file (if you use the built in AVS cutter you can copy down the displayed/saved frame numbers)
Use other chaper creating tools (eg ChapterGrabber, others?)
