MeGUI: OneClick v.Next

[Zathor]

Based upon many requests I put some work into enhancing the OneClick part of MeGUI. As it will take a lot longer than expected to finalize it, I decided to release a preview build of OneClick. I would like to hear your feedback: if it is developing in the desired direction, if there are any bugs, feature requests, ...

Changes so far:
xxxx improved OneClick encoder:
- added subtitle control (including delay, language, name, forced/default flag). Feature request #2752988
- enhanced audio control (added delay, language, name)
- AVS files as video input supported. Feature request #3412229
- folder as input supported. Feature request #3429875/#2773587
- embedded VOB subtitle support (IFO must be available)
- every OC job will be stored in a unique working directory. Feature request #2798486
- added option to select default audio/subtitle languages
- added option to select default working directory
- remember "Show Advanced Options" setting
- added option to specify the indexer priority
- added option to define the project name settings
- the x264 target playback device settings will be used for resizing
- Input DAR detection moved from postprocessing to initial opening step
- added DVD folder + file processing (including PGC support). Feature request #2817190
- convert TrueHD and DTS-HD tracks with eac3to when the track should be encoded
- added Blu-ray processing (Folder + Playlist)

Merged with official builds and not available as separate download anymore Use at your own risk! Also please do not update the MeGUI core with the built-in updater until the new OneClick tool has been added to the dev build.

How to test:

Install (extract) the build above to a directory (e.g. c:\tools\MeGUI).
Update MeGUI ("Options\Update") and update all files. At least one restart of MeGUI is required.
Disable AutoUpdate or make sure that you do not update anymore the core program as on the development server the OneClick changes are not included yet.

How can i use AviSynth plugins with new One -Click tool...Is it possible?
Can i use FFVideoSource() with One -Click tool?

[Zathor]

How can i use AviSynth plugins with new One -Click tool...Is it possible?
Which AviSynth Plugin do you want to use? You can add that to an AviSynth profile which can be added to an OneClick profile.

Can i use FFVideoSource() with One -Click tool?
Yes, FFVideoSource will be used automatically based upon the source detection and the priority of the indexer which you can specify in the OneClick profile.

[Zathor]

Added a new build to the first post. Changes:
- Updated to 2069
- Improved folder batch processing

[Zathor]

Updated to 2076 (including some minor changes/fixes to the OC part)

[meshaun]

How to use this ?
Copy and paste the files to the Megui directory?

[Zathor]

Yes, sorry, I forgot to include those details:

Install (extract) the latest stable build to a directory (e.g. c:\tools\MeGUI). This file can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/files/latest/download
Switch in the MeGUI settings ("Options\Settings\Extra Config") the setting "Use stable update server" to "Use development update server". Update MeGUI ("Options\Update") and update all files. At least one restart of MeGUI is required.
Extract the files in the first post into the MeGUI folder replacing the existing files.
Disable AutoUpdate or make sure that you do not update anymore the core program as on the development server the OneClick changes are not included yet.

[meshaun]

hi, I did as above and got the MEGUi working. It's great. Adding up avs and also many functions than the Stable version. I came across a problem I think. It's taking too long I think. Opening for NiCAudio encoding takes like a long time..

Attached the log file

[Zathor]

I have posted a updated build in the first posting. There are no changes in the OC area.

@meshaun: I will have a look at your problem as soon as the log file gets approved.

[tebasuna51]

Opening for NiCAudio encoding takes like a long time..

NicAudio don't support decode DTS-MA.

Edit: Please use MeGUI -> Tools -> HD Streams extractor

[Zathor]

NicAudio don't support decode DTS-MA.
I can block that in MeGUI, but the strange thing is that on my system DTS-MA and DTS-HRA can be decoded with NicAudio (AC3 TrueHD fails)

[meshaun]

Hi, I left the PC to encode and went to have a nap. Suprisingly, the encoding was going on. Though it's kinda slow comparing with the Normal MEGUi Build, the encoding is moving on.

The Audio was decoded and encoded to AAC

[Zathor]

Though it's kinda slow comparing with the Normal MEGUi Build, the encoding is moving on
That specific part is the same in both worlds.

[kalehrl]

Sometimes I get this error with the latest MeGUI 2080 (development server):

http://i43.tinypic.com/9qb7l2.png

I encode in xvid using oneclick encoder. Source files are usually h264 mp4s. There is also accompanying error in log but I don't have it now.

Edit

I also get this error:

http://i40.tinypic.com/33230cl.png

In the log I have this:

I see.
But anyway, I'm gonna encode more and I'll post about the progress here. Thanks for this product mate

[Zathor]

So you are not using the build in the first posting of this thread? In that case a better place to report the problem is:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151159
Please post there your complete log file. Also please try to disable the option "improve avs opening" in the MeGUI settings.

[tebasuna51]

dts Core extraction in DTS HD. Seems work fine with DTS High Res. (CBR),
still in beta stage with DTS Master Audio (VBR) please report any problem.

Sometimes work, but not always.
Only decode the core.
Is very slow.

With eac3to (HD Streams extractor) work always.
Can decode lossless DTS-MA if ArcSoft decoder is installed.
Work fast.

Block at least DTS-MA.

[kalehrl]

So you are not using the build in the first posting of this thread?

No, I'm not. I will write there then.

[Zathor]

Updated to 2087 including several fixes and improvements in the OC area.

[meshaun]

WIth the OC, should I always Extract the audio and then use it or is it okay to just select a .mkv as the input and auto select the audio as the OC does?

[Zathor]

WIth the OC, should I always Extract the audio and then use it
At the moment the audio files can only be extracted if a DGIndexer is used or the source is a MKV container. If an MKV file is used also subtitle streams can be extracted.
In all other cases it is required to demux the audio/subtitle streams on your own at first (it is planed to improve that step as well).

...or is it okay to just select a .mkv as the input and auto select the audio as the OC does?
Yes

[meshaun]

Found a problem, select a .srt for subtitle and tick the "Default subtitle" and give's a error . "Megui encounted a fatal error....."

and also, suggestion, for adding a new subtitle, replacing the "Right click" on the subtitle 1 and add new track, double click on the subtitle tab giving a new tab or something would do good .

[Zathor]

Found a problem, select a .srt for subtitle and tick the "Default subtitle" and give's a error . "Megui encounted a fatal error....."
Thanks, fixed the problem also for the forced option.

Added

New build online in the first thread.
- Updated version to 2088
- fixed problem with default/forced flag selection for external files
- double click on audio or subtitle tab will add a new track
- cosmetics on the main page

[meshaun]

Thanks for the fixes Zathor.
How can add a Drag and Drop function too? Like. drag and drop the video files or drag and drop the audio / subs and etc. That will be good to go...

[kalehrl]

I think the new oneclick window is cluttered with options.
I prefer the old one.

[meshaun]

The "Old One" as you referred is still there. This a a experimental One Click Part which is still on testing purposes.

-------------------------------------------------------------
I found a problem with megui. Fatal Error. Happens when I click the "GO" in the final part.

Yes but I'm afraid that after testing it will be included in the "official" release.

[meshaun]

Yes but I'm afraid that after testing it will be included in the "official" release.

It's good to have more options than having a little. That expands the MEGUi options and gives more opportunities to the users.

[Zathor]

Please post the log or send me a PM with it.

Yes but I'm afraid that after testing it will be included in the "official" release.
Yes, that's of course the reason for testing. There will not be a OneClick and "TwoClick" tool in MeGUI. Nevertheless when you disable the "Show Advanced Options" there are less options. Which of the advanced options is confusing for you?

[kalehrl]

I understand all options because they are self explanatory.
I think the current main oneclick window is more compact and not so cluttered with options like the one in this thread.
I mainly encode in xvid avi and never include subtitles in a file so, for me, subtitle part of menu is redundant.
For me, audio language and audio delay are redundant as well.
All these things make new version of oneclick window not so appealing for me.

[meshaun]

PM sent.
How about the Drag and Drop video/audio thing? That might come handy mate. And also, someway to check the Final Size using the Bitrate Calc would be nice. If we form the profiles right, it gives definite bitrates and megui loads the durations and all from the scripts. How about showing the Final Size and things before the encoding?

[Zathor]

PM sent.
Your audio input file has no audio (at least that is what MediaInfo reports). I catch now that problem and you can try the build in the first thread again. I have updated it to 2093 inlcuding your bug fix. If the problem is still there please send me again the log file.

How about the Drag and Drop video/audio thing? I have tried to enable it quickly but failed. Will try it later again.

And also, someway to check the Final Size using the Bitrate Calc would be nice. If we form the profiles right, it gives definite bitrates and megui loads the durations and all from the scripts. How about showing the Final Size and things before the encoding?

Why do you need to know the filesize before? If you target a specific file size you should enable that in the settings - if not you will get the final size at the end.

So you really want a simple tool? I can add an option (off by default) that only the controls from the old tool are shown.

[meshaun]

Why do you need to know the filesize before? If you target a specific file size you should enable that in the settings - if not you will get the final size at the end.



To know the filesize before an encode is finished, have to use the Bitrate Calc right? But what about encoding with settings for bitrates only?Then can't have a slight idea about the final output. So, knowing the Final Size is a plus information to the Encoder.

[tebasuna51]

You can supply time, audio and video bitrate to Bitrate Calculator and you get the file size.

[kalehrl]

I can add an option (off by default) that only the controls from the old tool are shown.

That would be very nice. :)

[Zathor]

Uploaded a new build. Beside minor fixes/improvements there are
- Drag&Drop support
- Three different GUI modes (basic, default, advanced)

[alter4]

Thx for the nice job!!
When do you expect your changes with main dev branch merging?

[Zathor]

I do not have a clue ;) At least not before the next stable release and there are still some features missing.

The Three Different modes is a good idea mate.

[meshaun]

Error again. PM Sent on log.
Loaded the .mkv and loaded the audio and Go gives the error. And also, after loading the .mkv to the video part, the audio file wasn't recognized. OC window just had this busy mouse pointer for minutes and didn't still recognize the audio or the subtitle files.

[Zathor]

@meshaun & kalehrl: Thank you very much for testing and reporting the problems. I have just uploaded a new build with fixes for your problems (including an update to 2094).

@meshaun: your problem can not be fixed completly with the new build. It seems to me that the mediainfowrapper.dll (not mediainfo.dll) in your MeGUI folder is still the old one causing problems when accessing the new commands. Please make sure that you are using 0.7.52 (date 28th december 2011). To be sure replace it with this one: http://megui.org/auto/mediainfowrapper_0_7_52.7z

[kalehrl]

Now it works. :)

[meshaun]

@Zathor, thanks for the quick fixes. I'm testing out the new build.
Passed and detected the audio file. No more mediawrapper error's. Thanks again. You work really hard on this project.

Update : Had an error. Megui closed with the windows error and can't copy the log file. Restarted it and started the queue again and again megui error. Will send a PM on the log .

[Zathor]

I have uploaded a new build. Please try it and report back. Please upload the log nevertheless as it is strange that the DTS file is reported to be an AVC file. There may be another problem.

[meshaun]

@Zathor. I'm sorry to say, there's still a problem. It can't be a problem with the file I'm using because other video processing tools work fine with it. We can fix this problem. And PS:- I'm in love with the MeGUI :)

[Zathor]

Are you sure that you are using MKVMerge 5.2.1? It looks like you are using 5.2.0 (or older) as the wrong track is extracted.

Oh, now I see the problem in your log. You are still connected to the stable update server... please switch it to the development branch and update all required files (make sure that you not include the core file). The "guide" is in my first posting.

[meshaun]

Sorry. I hadn't updated the other files. I did now. I will encode once again and will tell more about it.
I updated started to encode. Another audio error. I also encoded by selecting the .dts file extracted from the .mkv file. But the audio error shows up.
I've PM you about the log.

PS: I think that the audio thing has to do with the channels mate. I started to encode a 5.1 DTS and it's on the process now. started audio encoding. The earlier file was 7.1 DTS
There isn't an option to down 7.1 to 5.1 using NiCAUDiO i guess. maybe that's the thing.
Can you check on that please?

[Zathor]

As I see in the log none of the three audio decoders can deal with your DTA-MA file. On all of my DTS-MA files I have been able to use FFAudioSource() but that failed for you too. Can you please try it once again with the new ffms release (r624) which I have added to the update server a few hours ago?

The real solution to your problem in order to avoid such problems will be to use eac3to to extract the dts core from your source file. This is planned but at the moment not available in the automatic OneClick process. As it requires more work than those simple fixes the last days it will not happen today, very likely not before the weekend and likely not this month. As a workaround you can extract the core dts with the "HD Streams Extrator".

[meshaun]

Hmm. I updated to the r624 and tried. Same thing mate. can it be because of the 7.1 to 5.1?

[Zathor]

Maybe, but I think I tried that also with a 7.1 DTS-MA track (no access to that at the moment).
EDIT: Are you able to upload a short sample? You can split the MKV with mkvmerge (mmg.exe).

[meshaun]

I tried another file which 5.1 audio DTS but had the same Inner Exception:Null error. Just like the earlier ones.
But after extracting the audio using the ctrl+7 and then selecting it went smooth.
Not the video encoding is in progress.

[Zathor]

I tried another file which 5.1 audio DTS but had the same Inner Exception:Null error. Just like the earlier ones.
Please send me this log as well.
Your sample-002.mkv is btw working without problems on my side. The 7.1 DTS-MA files is decoded without problems with FFAudioSource. I do not know why it is failing for you.

[meshaun]

Decoded by the OC or HD Streams Extractor?
With the ctrl+f7, the audio is decoded fine but using the OC itself, the decoding fails it seems

[Zathor]

Directly with OC. I think I have used the same environment as you (W7 x64, AviSynth 2.6b2, ...) but for me your sample is working. Can you please upload your whole MeGUI directory (the update_cache subfolder is not required) including the demuxed dts file?

[meshaun]

I tried the Foobar audio encoder to extract the audio and encode it. It works fine Zathor. Isn't there any method that you could implement something like that? Changes all codes? Anyway, what do you mean upload whole directory and dts? the dts is like 3 or 4 GB mate/

[Zathor]

I do not need the full DTS file. Only the extracted file from the "sample-002.mkv". That sample is failing for you, too, isn't it?

[Zathor]

Updated the build in the first post to 2098

[meshaun]

the cores are same now, are they? Anywy, Tried a new mkv. Audio encoded fine mate

[meshaun]

Problem again . Inner Exception Null error. Will PM the log. I find the problem similar to this : If I use the HD Streams Extractor and extract the audio (DTS) and select it in the OC, the encoding takes place fine. The audio encoding goes okay. But when I only give the OC the mkv file to extract the DTS and go with it, it fails. Is the OC using the HD Streams Extractor? Or MKV Extract? and any new builds with the new x264 release?

[Zathor]

OC is using MKVExtract at the moment. But as said several times - that is working for me. Your extracted files cannot be opened.

[meshaun]

Hmm. I am going to use the ctrl+f7 until this is done mate. Because, that makes perfect encodes without hassle. If there is a way to use the HD Streams Extractor instead of the mkvextract, it will be great. that never made error's or problems for me. Anyway thanks for the concern.

[Zathor]

Nevertheless I would like to reproduce your problem. So if possible please upload the extracted DTS from the OC tool and also your MeGUI directory. If the DTS works for me it must be something on your system (missing Hali splitter or so but I do not know if for decoding some DTS files with FFAudioSource really an external dependency exists).

[meshaun]

Bonne Idee! Like I said, there was one encode which was okay, detected the audio itself and made a perfect rip. But not all encodes are like that. The .DTS will be over 1 or 2GBs mate. and you want my MeGUI directory? zip it and send a link or something?

Sent you a PM with an image on the error

[Zathor]

Updated the first post with a new build. There is no special OC improvement this time.

[meshaun]

Great. I've sent you a PM with the problem with file naming. After renaming the file to "1" it worked. Is there a limit to the name or what mate? Anyway, thanks

[Zathor]

Maybe the path is too long or has invalid characters in it.

[meshaun]

Oh.. Thanks Zathor.

[meshaun]

In the update, there is a new server version. Update to it? or still leave the core ?

[Zathor]

Do not update the core with the update server. I have added a new build in the first post.

[Zathor]

Updated build again including a few small OC fixes.

[meshaun]

With the latest build, tried a mkv and this time, it extracted the audio file fine. Made 2 encodes and they went smooth. The OC Detects the muxed subtitles. If I leave them, that's selected, encoding the output in a .mp4 makes subtitles burnt or hardcoded or just ignores the selected subs since mp4 doesn't have that option?

[Creat]

I know it's just a small thing, but MeGUI creates unique folders for all temporary files of "One Click"-encodes. They are correctly removed once the job finishes, but if it is canceled, the (empty) folder remains. Would be nice if it could be cleaned up if the Job is removed.

I also have to say that I think the "file size" option should be part of the Basic, or at least Default setting and belongs on the first page ("Output" section). I understand that it's predefined in the OC-profile, but to me this is about as basic as it gets. I quite often have to change it, and it's the ONLY value that I change frequently (on a per-encode basis).

Lastly, if I enter a new custom target size, it isn't remembered in the list of recently used custom file sizes.

[meshaun]

The OC works fine now. No more audio null exception errors. Thanks for the fix Zathor

[meshaun]

Got an error with another installation I had. Updated it to the latest and made it to the OC .
Sent you the log file.

[Zathor]

You get "Short read while reading frame" while indexing your file with ffmsindex.exe. There is nothing I can do as this is a FFMS related problem. Please get in contact with the FFMS guys (e.g. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037). But I assume that your source file is corrupt.

Thanks for the remarks. I have taken care of them in the dev branch and they are available in build 2110.

[negorv]

- folder as input supported (feature request #3429875)
[/LIST]

Thank you for impoving One Click Encoder!

Folder as input does not work as expected.
It asks confirmation after each encoded file - somewhat like "Do you want all the 87 files encoded" - then "Do you want all the 86 files encoded" etc - ruining whole idea of oneclick - so it could not do bunch of sliced DV AVIs overnight - because of confirmation needed for each file to encode (also it doe not matter really if you pressing YES or NO - result is the same).
Also for folder input it obeys working directory just for 1st file encoded - then switches to the source file directory.

Thank you for reading this

[StainlessS]

@Negorv, take a look at "MeGUI AutoEncode Batcher" in the Avisynth Usage forum.
EDIT: And the DGIndex Batcher, they work together, mpg->AVS->MP4.

This has been changed a long, long time ago. Are you sure you are using the recent build in the first post? If yes please post the complete log (for a folder with two files).

Also for folder input it obeys working directory just for 1st file encoded - then switches to the source file directory.
It will always use the settings in the OneClick profile you have selected. Other settings are ignored. So you have to select the proper working directory in the profile.

[negorv]

Are you sure you are using the recent build in the first post? If yes please post the complete log (for a folder with two files).


Yes, I am using most recent MeGUI 2115 (svn) Developer Update Server from the first post in this thread.

I was trying to do that on both Win7/64 and Vista/32, also tried different location of source and work files.

It seems to work with 2 and 3 files OK. But asks confirmation in case of 4+ files in dir - for each file.
Log attached (DV AVIs -> 264 MKV).

Many thanks again

[Zathor]

Thanks for the report. I thought that was already fixed and have tried it only with two files. Nevertheless it should now work as expected. Please try the new version in the first posting.

[negorv]

it should now work as expected. Please try the new version in the first posting.
It really does work now! Thanks a lot Sir!

[Zathor]

New build uploaded to the first post. This build brings:
added DVD folder + file processing (including PGC support)

Now you can convert a DVD and select the PGCs you want to process. Either select the DVD folder or a specific vob/ifo file.

[Zathor]

Updated build in the first post.

[meshaun]

Thanks for this wonderful version mate.
This is the best encoding tool out there.

[Zathor]

Updated to 2119 including some minor OC improvements.

[aMvEL]

I get a .net framework error when trying to convert a dvd with multiple titles, in this case a TV-series dvd.
The error says DragDrop Registration did not succeed.

System.InvalidOperationException: DragDrop registration did not succeed. ---> System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it.

It happens right before it should start to encode video, and you can select continue and it starts to encode, and it results in a correct mkv file as far as I can tell.. Only a bit annoying as it happens in between every title of the DVD.
I looked at the log file and it doesn't show anything malicious..

[Zathor]

I get a .net framework error when trying to convert a dvd with multiple titles
Thanks for the report. It is fixed in the new build which I just uploaded.

[aMvEL]

Seems to be working flawlessly now, Zathor.
I've just finished encoding an entire season of Friends without any errors or interruptions. Really loving this new OneClick-mode :)

[Pooh_by]

Hi
I test new One-click interface, and I have some comments.
With full DVD structure no problem , but no possible to open rip (DVDDecrypter). Why not?
Now, if I need to convert set of the elementary stream (separated demux video, audio, "sub" files), to add additional audio or sub stream it is necessary double-click to audio(sub) tab. It seems to me that it isn't user friendly. Maybe can it is necessary to make additional button, which would add new audio or sub tab.
Also not friendly audio-->Encode field. Maybe its better to add (or rename) option "keep original audio"
And more filesize templates (like : DVD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6, CD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6, BD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6 etc.)
And one more
Now you add 3 settings view : "default", "basic" and "advanced". It seems to me, that Its no any basic difference between "default" and "basic". Maybe unite "default" and "basic", named "basic"? And add new settings view "Expert"?
Functional "basic" leave like now "default",
With "Advanced" like now, but without possibility to choose any encoders templates (user can choose video, audio , sub streams; video codec, encode mode for audio; output resolution, autocrop,keep input resolution, aspect ratio, deinterlacing; filesize, splitting, container etc.)
End "Expert" like now "Advanced" : user can modify all option by manual.
I hope that my comments will appear useful.


P.S. English is not my native. I hope for understanding.

[Zathor]

With full DVD structure no problem , but no possible to open rip (DVDDecrypter). Why not?
No clue. Does DVDDecrypter provide a DVD structure (IFO + VOB)? Please provide all file names in your directory.


And more filesize templates (like : DVD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6, CD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6, BD --> full, 1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4 , 1/6 etc.) I will not add more file size templates as the list would be too long. But you can add your values without problem in the MeGUI settings.

if I need to convert set of the elementary stream (separated demux video, audio, "sub" files), to add additional audio or sub stream it is necessary double-click to audio(sub) tab. It seems to me that it isn't user friendly. Maybe can it is necessary to make additional button, which would add new audio or sub tab.

Also not friendly audio-->Encode field. Maybe its better to add (or rename) option "keep original audio"

Thanks for the GUI suggestions. I am also not very happy with the current GUI and will make some changes in that area. But at the moment I focus on the functionality and will change the GUI afterwards.

.
I mean,that when I open DVD like a "file" or "folder" from folder on HDD, or from, DVD-ROM, its no problem - One-Click determine all streams correct.
But, if I and riped by DVDDecrypter(or other tool) only needed streams , One-Click don’t want to work with result files (IFO+VOB).

I mean filesize menu look like now( but with submenu) :
DVD

|--> 1/3
|--> 1/4

And one more.
Maybe need "Queue " ("Add to queue ") button

[meshaun]

Hi, now MeGUI does the DTS properly. I mean with the last updates to use NiCAUDiO I guess.
Now, TrueHD audio problem. I have to use the HD Streams Extractor and then convert it and mux the audio. Can't you add a feature like,
HD Streams Extractor in the same OneClick window and selecting the TrueHD, and leaving it, and in the end, MeGUI encodes the TrueHD and then takes the encoded audio and muxes it automatically? So, there is no need of using HDSE, again and then the OC again.

[Rat Killer]

Finally had time to give the new one click utility a real try. Read through this thread but still do not see how to set the priority of the indexer. I see the 'other' tab in the OC configuration dialog with a list of indexers but how do I change the priority for one encode? I can select one, but it is not saved in the profile nor is it used with the current file. What did I miss?

[aMvEL]

I've been encoding a lot of tv-series dvds lately, and I'm wondering if it's possible to sort the pgcs by number (pgc 1, 2, 3 etc.). As it is now I believe it's sorted by runtime?

It's not really a huge thing, but It's a bit annoying to have to go through all encodes afterwards and sort them into the correct episode order.
This "problem" only occurs when the episodes are on seperate pgc's on a single VTS.

[Zathor]

Update to 2140

Now, TrueHD audio problem. I have to use the HD Streams Extractor and then convert it and mux the audio.
It is planned to add that also to the OC tool.

Read through this thread but still do not see how to set the priority of the indexer.
Select one item in the list and use the arrow keys on your keyboard (will be changed in the future to buttons).

At the moment it is runtime - I need to have a look if it is easy possible to add an option to resort it.

Thanks Zathor!

I cannot reproduce that.

I think maybe they are saying he ripped it with DVD Decrypter in maybe a movie-only mode?
(or perhaps using Stream Processing in IFO mode?)

anyhow, I look forward to having IFO processing integrated into this package.
thanks


EDIT:
perhaps include "IFO" and "VIDEO_TS" in the "Open" file and folder windows options, under all available streams, and with its own entry below that.

````````````


also, I am unable to get the auto-download of profiles to work in this package. It prompts me, but I always get this error:

http://thumbnails60.imagebam.com/18735/a99477187340447.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/a99477187340447)


It does this for the video profiles too, if i just cancel out of the audio profiles before hand.

I deleted the folder and tried over several times, including changing drives and locations on drives. no luck. always the same error.
is this working or is this a unique issue of mine?

[Zathor]

Yes, but this works for me. I need the exact steps to reproduce it or better resulting files which do not work.

With the latest OneClick (2144) it doesn't extract the subtitles, thus throwing an error when trying to mux saying the idx/sub is missing.

[Zathor]

Please try with 2147 and - if the error is still there - please post the complete log.

[meshaun]

Hi zathor,
I noticed with the latest build, there is no CBR for AAC?
Why is that mate? Because, I checked the VBR for 320 and got 600KBps audio files.
Can't you please put the CBR again?

[Zathor]

:confused:

Maybe related to this?

2143 NeroAacEnc + DGIndexNV are now disabled by default as external dependencies are required.
In order to use them, they have to be enabled in "Options\Settings\External Program Configuration".

[meshaun]

yah. Done now :)
Can't decode TrueHD ? That's the only remaining audio format I can't get megui through

It does work for me as expected. Please provide more details.

Can't decode TrueHD? That's the only remaining audio format I can't get megui through You have to use at the moment the HD Streams Extractor to get only the core AC3 from the TrueHD track.

[locotus]

Sorry, don't waste your time. My fault.
Don't how I manege to vanish the ifo files.
Ripped again, working right.

[meshaun]

Hi, after the new updates, am not getting the audio encoded in AAC.
It's DTS-MA but this worked fine earlier. Now, getting the same old, Null Exception errors mate. Says that opening file failed with FFD, NiCAudio and the Direct
Works okay with the HD Streams Extractor mate, I wish if you consider like, using the decoder in the HDStreamsExtractor and it's converter into the OC profiles, which decodes any audio file without a problem .

I've had some problems recently when trying to process DVDs from some seasons of TV-Shows, where the title-selection doesn't detect the main title episodes or just lists one of the episodes instead of all four.
If I then delete the VIDEO_TS-files (ifo, bup, vob) it then correctly identifies all titles. Is this a bug or just bad mastring of the DVDs?

[darkw1zard]

For first time use, do you need to update the core from 2149 to 2150??

-update
Ok, I got the answer, Just need to update to stable version & disable future update (even if its from stable version)?

Ok Zathor answered in next page..

[Zathor]

For first time use, do you need to update the core from 2149 to 2150??
No, disable the core updates. But good point - I have uploaded build 2150 in the first post.

These are the ifo-files of one of the discs that only show one of the episodes out of a total of four.

[flebber]

Is there a way to define in a profile that I never want more than one audio file or subtitle file? Is there a way to set a default output directory?

[Zathor]

Is there a way to define in a profile that I never want more than one audio file or subtitle file?
No(t yet). The problem is - which track should be used when the source file has more than one? The first? The biggest?

Is there a way to set a default output directory?
Yes, in the global MeGUI settings. But good point, it should be also the in the OneClick profiles.

[Zathor]

These are the ifo-files of one of the discs that only show one of the episodes out of a total of four.

Thanks, the information in VIDEO_TS.IFO is wrong. When you delete this file you get the correct information. I will implement some kind of workaround (e.g. ignoring always the information in VIDEO_TS.IFO).

[flebber]

No(t yet). The problem is - which track should be used when the source file has more than one? The first? The biggest?


By default language?

[Zathor]

Oh, that is already possible. You have to select your required language in the OneClick profile and than e.g. only English tracks will be added. But if there is more than one English track all English tracks will be added.

[flebber]

Oh, that is already possible. You have to select your required language in the OneClick profile and than e.g. only English tracks will be added. But if there is more than one English track all English tracks will be added.

Ah I had done that but been to specific. I chose "Australian Languages" and I ended up with 2 English, 1 Norwegian and 1 Danish audio track.

So The danish prince married an Aussie so the Danish track selection maybe ;) but why Norwegian?

[Zathor]

When no track can be found which matches your selected language, then all tracks will be selected. Add also "English" and only the 2 English tracks will be selected (as no tracks can be found for "Australian Languages")

[Zathor]

I choose a folder but in Queue it only do first file in that folder

Sorry, maybe this is not the right place to requests, but:
1. Output to .AVI (besides .MKV)
2. "Intuitive" or automatic Cropping and anamoprhic encoding (Eg: from DAR=2,37 (1920x808) to DAR=16:9 (anamorphic 720x480 NTSC) output.

[Zathor]

1. Output to .AVI (besides .MKV) This is already included. You have to enable this output type in the OneClick profile settings.

2. "Intuitive" or automatic Cropping and anamoprhic encoding (Eg: from DAR=2,37 (1920x808) to DAR=16:9 (anamorphic 720x480 NTSC) output.
As I need this also quite a lot this will come - don't know when.

[Rat Killer]

Just some small bugs I noticed in the beta onclick encoder that might could be easily cured in the next revision.

Selecting folder for input where the folder is a video_ts DVD folder. If the file names are not correct and the dvd folder cannot be parsed, there is no way out of the selection box other than task manager to force megui closed.

No way to cancel or close the selection box.

Also noticed that the onclick routine fails to load the next file for some oddly named video files. It errors just after adding the video and audio jobs to the queue but not the next idx and oneclick. The files had ... and some spaces as part of the file name. Renaming all the files and they flowed normally.

[Zathor]

Update to 2154 in the first posting including some minor other updates as well.

Selecting folder for input where the folder is a video_ts DVD folder. If the file names are not correct and the dvd folder cannot be parsed, there is no way out of the selection box other than task manager to force megui closed.

in one click mode "v.2160" subtitles forced are not muxed into the mkv final. Why ?

For me this is working. Therefore please provide more details (e.g. the log file).

Thanks for the details. I am now able to reproduce the problem. External subtitle files will not be muxed. This will be fixed in the next build - should be available in the next days.

yes the problem is fixed ,thank you

Not sure if I should be posting this here or not, but using the dev builds with the new OneClick enhancements, is there a way to make it include audio when using AVISource? It always says internal audio track 1 has to be skipped because AVISOURCE is being used, yet I know for fact that settings audio=true in the AVISource line in the AVS file works just fine.

And on top of that, even if I have AVISource at the bottom of the list of which method should be used to open the file, it still uses it, even though the file indexer is at the bottom and works fine when using it standalone ( Audio works as well ).

That is already the case. Only if in batch processing the first part of the jobs are failing, the following files will not be processed.

[Incendia]

No. If you provide a patch it will be faster.


Can you tell me where I need to look? I have no experience but it doesn't seem like it would be hard or time consuming to add. Since AVISource is required to pull in frameserving, this is pretty much useless without such an options ( Since I have to go back and encode the audio separately, then remux the files... Might as well just manually make the avs file that has audio=true at that point, less work overall. )


That is already the case. Only if in batch processing the first part of the jobs are failing, the following files will not be processed.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? If one job fails to index it's file ( broken file or simply a hiccup since it never retries to make sure it's really broken ), every other job that would normally be spun up after it is never put in the job list and thus never takes place ( Because for whatever reason one click doesn't add every file to the pending jobs list ahead of time like it should ). It just dies right there ( Kind of annoying to wake up to that in the morning, so many encoding hours lost! ).

Doing some tests on the new one click system i ran into a odd issue. When doing an encode of a dvd output depends of whether the input file (.vob) has been splitted into multiple files or it is one big file:

Case 1: Using unstable (2231): Using dvd decrypter split set to none. Produces 1 .vob file. Input is 2.38 hour. Output is 1.16 hour.

Logfile: http://pastebin.com/698AZGRA

Correct chapter is selected and is shown as the correct length but still whole vob is not processed and over half the movie is missing in the output file:

http://static.inky.ws/image/3500/pgc-megui.jpg


Case 2: megui unstable (2231) Using dvd decrypter split set to 1 gb. Produces 4 .vob files. Input is 2.38. Output is 2.38

This work.

Case 3: Using megui-stable: Using dvd decrypter split set to none. Procuces 1 .vob file. Input is 2.38. Output is 2.38

This also works, so something must be off in the later versions.

for some reason ... when using one click encoder the audio and video are always 2seconds out of sync after encoding

Please post the log of both encodings.

Doing some tests on the new one click system i ran into a odd issue. When doing an encode of a dvd output depends of whether the input file (.vob) has been splitted into multiple files or it is one big file: MeGUI is using now pgcdemux to process VOB files if there is more than one PGC. Either DVDDecrypter is producing wrong IFO information or pgcdemux is reading those information not correctly when using one VOB file. In both cases I cannot fix it so please split the VOB files.
