MeGUI x64

[Sharktooth]

what you're experiencing is a IO error probably due to an external tool or the IFO parser... or maybe a corrupted VOB.

[quantum5uicid3]

after testing for a while, i don't think ffmpeg x64 is suitable for intermediary files, it's very unstable. if it's not too much code, i would backstep x86 to mencoder and for x64 probably use x264 --qp 0 or --crf 0 and --tune fastdecode and maybe --preset fast, but i think the speed setting is system specific. x264 was bottlenecked by hd with anything faster than fast on my sys. from what i could tell, x264 encodes faster but more demanding decoding, time difference seemed negligable overall though.

[trevaaar]

If it helps anybody, I've just grabbed the xvid-1.2.2 source and built a 64-bit version of xvid_encraw. It requires the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package to be installed. You can try it here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/i2jhuzg2tmo/xvid-1.2.2-x64.zip).

Performance difference in some quick tests running single-threaded on an i7 920 in Xvid 2pass HQ (no Qpel) profile, the original 32bit version got 92fps and my 64bit one ran at 112fps.

If all of the above versions did not work now while the older ones have been working for you a while ago it's not the fault of MeGUI. Sadly I have no idea what may cause the problem. You could try to uninstall avisynth (32 + 64) and reinstall it if not already done.
Some news about my problem:
A while ago i tried to run x264_64 from command line and it accepts avs input. But megui x64 still refuses to see avisynth x64.

Summary: megui x64 don't see avisynth, virtualdub x64 is opening avs files without any problem, x264_64 is accepting avs input, mpc-hc x64 refuses to play avs script.

what you're experiencing is a IO error probably due to an external tool or the IFO parser... or maybe a corrupted VOB.I deleted all the .IFO and .BUP files in the directories and now everything works fine in the one click encoder.

Thanks Sharktooth :)

[Sharktooth]

@AMED: so it was the IFO that was causing the problem in the IFO parser (probably due to a copy protection scheme). next time try using a different tool to rip the DVD. DVDFab Decrypter is free and is usually working very well.

@pokezene_maslo: megui has some checks for avisynth. last time i had a look at that code it was not supposed to look for avs 64 bits installation. however i will check with zathor.

[kartman_canada]

I'm not sure where my issue sits... I've been using MuGUI x64 for a while now but I don't recall doing anything but crops. Today, I moved to process a DVD. When I apply the crop, no issues but when I add a "lanczosresize" line to the AVS script, MeGUI crashes.

Might this be because the resize function is pulling an x86 build from the original avisynth install and not an x64 version?

I'm just guessing... is there an update out there or am I missing something else?

[Zathor]

When I apply the crop, no issues but when I add a "lanczosresize" line to the AVS script, MeGUI crashes.
Does it crash if you open the avs file (including the lanczosresize) in other tools like VirtualDub x64?

megui has some checks for avisynth. last time i had a look at that code it was not supposed to look for avs 64 bits installation. however i will check with zathor.
At least the check at the startup detects avisynth x64 since a few releases. And I did not find other checks. Nor did I find a way to contact you - have you received my mail?

[Sharktooth]

the avs check is at the startup only.
also, where did you send the email?

edit: ok, got it... damn hotmail junk mail filters....

Hello. Now I know why I'm the only one that is experiencing problems that megui doesn't see avisynth. Try to drag and drop avs file into megui window. You will receive "avisynth script error: cannot load avisynth.dll". But if I load avs script via open dialog (that button with three dots) it is working!

[Sharktooth]

oh... drag & drop doesnt work coz megui is run with administrative rights in win7 and vista... and stupid M$ screwed up D&D...

You were not the only one. I had the same problem and just couldn't find the cause of it. I was using MeGUI 32 bit to create AVS scrpts but today I decide to finally post something about my problem and you found out what it was only a day before! Thank you :D

[SaintDeath]

When I load a script into Megui x64 i get and error could load avs error in line 43 "couldn't find decompressor for fourcc lags" when dat is Lagarith Lossless Video Codec i have the 64 bit version install already.Dat same script loads fine in veedub64

[Sharktooth]

It makes no sense... if megui is x64, avisynth is x64, lagarith is x64 it should work...
also if it works in vbdub64 there is no reason it shouldnt work in megui64

Post your script please.

Hi,

Well no answer yet :( hasn't anybody a solution?! :confused:

[Sharktooth]

AFAIK there are 64bit libs...
however, launch windows update and update your system.
a personal advice... drop XP64 and get Win7-64

[Adub]

a personal advice... drop XP64 and get Win7-64

I second this advice. There seems to be much more support for x64 being built into Windows 7 now.

Plus, with the sudden burst of tools being developed for the x64 platform, now is as good a time to upgrade as any.

[Frogger13]

Thanks for the reply. I hope'd that I did not need to go for Win7 (not that much space on my System SSD :()

AFAIK there are 64bit libs...

Where can I find these MeGUIx64 libs?!! Here http://megui.org/auto/ the only one I find are the regular 32 bit! (http://megui.org/auto/megui-libs_0_3_5.zip) :confused:

[Zathor]

http://megui.org/auto/ the only one I find are the regular 32 bit! (http://megui.org/auto/megui-libs_0_3_5.zip) :confused:

They can also be used with native x64 applications and therefore these are the correct libs.

[Frogger13]

They can also be used with native x64 applications and therefore these are the correct libs.

Thank you Zathor. Just one last question about this problem: is it possible (allthoug it is recommended to upgrade to Win7) to run MeGUIx64 on WinXp Pro x64? Then How (See previous post which lists installed VC++ Redistribuables)... :thanks:

[Zathor]

It should be possible, but I do not have XP 64 and therefore cannot check it myself. We have to wait for someone else to check it.

[quantum5uicid3]

for anyone on a budget, vista licenses can be found pretty cheap these days and it's the same kernel as 7.

just find a cd with sp2 slipstreamed already.

I'm not sure what you're basing this on, but I'd say it's not true.

[Sharktooth]

for the sake of mind sanity... win7 is lighter than vista... there is NO reason on this planet to buy Vista (the biggest MS Epic Fail (tm) after Windows ME...)

[quantum5uicid3]

they're not the same bit for bit, but the changes were very minor. google it.

i agree vista had rough beginnings, but having used both, i think a clean installation of vista sp2 is equally fast and stable. maybe it's because i disable the themes service, so the tightening of explorer.exe ddidn't really make a difference for me.

edit
KB971644 probably helped too :)

edit2
everytime iuse ffms2.dll in an avs, megui just keeps grabbing more and more memory until crashes. i was able to rapidly open many(20+) instances of the same avs in mpc-hc without any problems besides the obvious performance hit and also tried running a bunch(20+) of x264 encodes at the commandline at the same time and also do not have a problem.

ive confirmed this in both 7 and vista. it's easy to see, just "enqueue" the same job repeatedly and watch the ram.

[doc_dvxm]

Hii there... I am using Win 7 Ultimate x64. I am planning to encode some HD stuff (The source is BluRay.)

I've downloaded a meGUI x64 and avisynth x64 (avisynth64_intel_3-17-10) according to the guide given above. İnstalled codecs on my system are:

ffdshow_rev3507_20100707_clsid_x64.exe + MatroskaSplitter.exe.

I've set H264 to ffmpeg-mt, and VC1 to libavcodec as video decoder.

Sooo... I've just described that my MegUI x64 working perfectly with AVC Codec based m2ts files. Decoding, Encoding everything is fine.

But, when I try to use a VC1 based m2ts files you can see what's going on:

http://i31.tinypic.com/dlkvo7.png

Btw, MPC x64 works fine with both of them (AVC and VC1 Movie....)

Sorry If I'am hijacking your thread, but I was looking too much, and there is no satisfying answers....

Every suggestions are wellcome....

Cheerz

[Sharktooth]

the problem could be FFDShow VC-1 decoder (MPC has its own).
if that it's the case try another FFDShow revision. if it still doesnt work Index the m2ts with DGIndexNV (license required) or FFMS.

[doc_dvxm]

Thank you very much.

My graphic card is HD5850 Ati Radeon. Previous, when I was googling this problem, I saw that DGIndexNV was developed for Nvidia Cards. I'll try with FFMS.

Thank you Sharktooth. Hope that your health is well :)

Cheerz.

[Sharktooth]

yes, dgindexnv requires an nvidia card.
however, you can get a second video card just for dgindexnv. check the supported cards list. there are some of them really cheap and even if they have a 16x PCIe connector they can be installed in a 4x slot too.
(my health seems to be ok at the moment, thanks).

Here's an x64 build of NicAudio compiled by myself: http://www.mediafire.com/?ozlnnjtgzam
Unfortunately, since the source wasn't designed for x64, it might or might not work. I'm not going to try fixing bugs, however. Let's just hope it works.
Compiled with VS2010, so you may need its runtime.

Just setting up MeGui X64 for the first time, and am having trouble using NicAudio. Usin the LAME MP3: MP3-128ABR profile, it's generating an AVS that loads the NicAudio DLL and then does a NicMPG123Source. At this point, it crashes ("Attempt to read or write protected memory").

One thing I'm not sure about is the VS2010 runtime - can someone point me to *exactly* what I should download for this??

Thanks

ok, try forcing decode via DirectShow (audio preset config)

[rtjnyoface]

real quickly guys, if a job is run and then accidentally double clicked again and the status changes, there is no changing is back to done (of course). But...if I've already run it I don't want to run it again (its a 1st pass). Tried changing the job in text file and I couldnt do it regardless of whether I change the read only option or not. Real PITA if I encoded for hours. Just thought I'd mention it. Been a nuisance cuz I think I'm changing the status of a different job. maybe others havent experienced this. Thanks for the continued dev guys.

[Sharktooth]

that's coz you're running vista or windows 7 and installed MeGUI in C:\somedir (in other words you dont have the write permissions in that folder if you're not an administrator).
run your text editor as administrator (for example right click on notepad and choose the launch as admin option) and modify whatever you want.

[livetolove92]

Although I had installed the meGUI x64 and Avisynth x64 following the instruction I still get this error when use Avs Script creator. I tried both DirectShowSource and FFMS on Notepad but it didn't work.

Yah, I had installed ffdshow_rev3507_20100707_clsid_x64. I tried to use the command line but it always get error.
