MEGUI Process exits with error: 3

[Whimick]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an h264 (BBC HD )stream from my Dream box to xvid avi 720x400 1800 bitrate, or mp4.

And every time I try it stops on the first pass with Process exits with error: 3 after about five minutes.

Exstract for error log below:

Many thanks

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Obviously "xvid_encraw.exe" has crashed. As you are using Avisynth input, the crash may very well originate from Avisynth or (more likely) one of the Avisynth plug-in's involved.

I'd try to open the exactly same AVS file in VirtualDub and check whether it plays through properly...

Thanks for the reply,

I've tried to run the the avs in VirtualDub 32 and the programme failed after about 5 minutes, and showed this error

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

Virtualdub then showed:

crash details (best guess as to cause)
An exception occurred in module libavcodec
... while running thread Dub-I\O* (thread cpp:1630

The same error happens if I try and use x264 with MeGUI

So far I have not been able to convert any HD streams from my Dreambox, video stream details below:

I hope this info helps, unfortunatly I do not have enough Technical experience to solve this problem mty self.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\dgavcindex\DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("C:\Users\######\Videos\MeGUI\02. Wimbledon 2012 (Monday BBC HD).dga")

AVCSource is outdated and not recommended, especially with non-progressive streams.
Try FFVideoSource.

I'm pretty sure that this is the problem.

As you can see, VDub shows which module crashed (libavcodec).
Megui shows "error 3".:confused:
I also can't believe that they are still including DGAVC.
