View Full Version : VC1 to H264, One Click changing framerate

I've used MeGui and its one-click encoding for a long time and have never had problems going from VC1 to H264. I wanted to do this because my streaming media player box cannot do VC1 for some reason. Anyway, it was working all great for a long time and then MeGui told me there was updates available for many of the files it uses so I updated everything. I don't remember what version I had prior but I am now on version 2427 of MeGui and 2377 of x264.

I had a profile setup that I called VC1 to H264 but now when I use this, it takes my VC1 title (I was trying to convert Hulk) and successfully produces a M2TS file however it somehow changes the frame rate from the original 23.976 to 24.514.

I have no idea where this 24.514 value comes from and I don't see any space that I assign this in the UI or my encoding profile.

Can anyone give me some ideas of where I should start looking? One thing that I was trying (but didn't work) was changing the GOP calculation from "FPS Based" to "Fixed" thinking that might force it to the correct 24fps but it didn't seem to help. I'm now kind of stuck and unable to migrate my VC1 titles over to my NAS server so I can stream them to my media player.

Attached is my log. It clearly shows that the source is recognized as 23.976 but for some reason it is showing these odd lines that I would not expect:

and

[Warning] [11/30/2013 11:46:55 AM] the selected device does not support 24566/1001 fps with a resolution of 1920x1080. Supported are 24000/1001, 24/1, 25/1, 30000/1001 and 30/1.


First of all, why does it look like it is trying to force it back down to 720x400? Does this mean that it is doing a 1080p -> 480p -> 1080p set of conversions? That is going to be terrible... Second, it is showing 24566/1001 fps when it should be 24000/1001.

I'm very confused by all of this. What settings/toggles in MeGUI do I need to make this work right? Everything was working fine before I upgraded...

Anyone able to help? I posted the log and screenshots, is there anything else that someone can point me to?

Are there steps that I can do manually that would have the same effect as doing the "One-Click"?

I tried Handbrake and that seemed to work just fine. Although I much prefer the customization of MeGui, until this gets fixed, I will end up using Handbrake.

Please try the recent development build 2441. Together with the new FFMS build your problem should be fixed.
