MeGUI 6.6.6.6 20260403 released

[StainlessS]

Other encoders may add padding (bucket loads of zeros) to acquire required bitrate,
perhaps AV1 dont do that or not as yet implemented.
As suggested earlier, ask in appropriate forums.
[EDIT: Perhaps AV1 is not yet at a stage where they wanna add unnecessary stuff, perhaps will be added eventually]

[Kurt.noise]

Does anyone have any issues using the current update server ?

[StainlessS]

Seems to work ok for me, just updated eac3to and ffmpeg.

[tebasuna51]

The old HDStreamsExtractor seems can't support the last eac3to 3.55 language codes (also OPUS tracks).

[Kurt.noise]

Language code is not handled by eac3to but something else.

Opus & AV1 cannot be extracted within the current haali demuxer. I've to use mkvextract.

[tebasuna51]

Language code is not handled by eac3to but something else.

It is managed by the HDStreamsExtractor code inside MeGUI, like you see in the track names now eac3to inform about the 3 ISO 639 set 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes) characters instead the full language names like before.

Then HDStreamsExtractor code can't undestand them and show all like 'english'
If you can't modify the code it is better preserve the previous eac3to version 3.54 with no major changes except that.

@Kurt.noise

1) "svt-av1-psy" in the updated program is not "psy" anymore. Rename it to "svt-av1".
2) Doing "svt-av1-psy" job, the program is passing "crf" as float ["33.0" for example] - that leads to error.

I've pushed patches two days ago in the main tree.

Ok, thanks.

[nechto]

why could it be? megui executing, showing splash and ... nothing happened. I need to kill process to stop it.
latest version, doesn't matter 32 or 64. previous the same

[Kurt.noise]

maybe something related to avisynth(+) library and the wrapper used into megui...otherwise, I've no idea.

[StainlessS]

Solved it (crash) Kurt,
Needs updated Redist files (too old for the compiler used for Avs+, ie old 2019_x64),

[Kurt.noise]

You're testing latest avisynth+ in it, right ?

Yeah, that works fine after upgrading runtime dlls :

[StainlessS]

Yep, I only ever use system installed AVS+, scripts are created independently, MeGUI only for encode.
Redistributables are well due for update.

[nechto]

I have error in update ..

[StainlessS]

Just say what the error is or post on some image host eg Postimages.org

[nechto]

Cannot use update server http://megui.org/auto/fork/. Reason: Update server is not available

[Kurt.noise]

Just retry later on...that works fine here.

Another request if possible...

I have some material which was originally shot at 23.976FPS, but when released as a PAL retail disc, it was encoded at 25.000FPS, with the audio having been sped-up.

I'm re-encoding those discs back to the original 23.976FPS and using the built in default AC3 encoder to slow-down the audio track to remove the "chipmunk" effect.

"AutoEncode" lets me do just about everything I want, EXCEPT, the FPS selector is greyed out in the "Adaptive Muxer" and won't let me set it to 23.976, it is set at 25.000, the original source frame rate.

Are you able to unlock that so that I can select 23.976 and have the process automatically mux all of the new tracks at the corrected frame rate?

Many thanks!
TRJB

[Kurt.noise]

Yes, sure

[tebasuna51]

With mkv source file for video 25 fps I can select other FPS, like 23.976, but is ignored when send the mkvmerge job.
Still send --default-duration 0:25/1fps instead the necesary --default-duration 0:24000/1001fps

[nechto]

Seems second Default language doesnt work for me((

Default is Russian first and English second

I was still having problems using recent system installed Avisynth+,
so till now I'de gone back to an old verstion of avs+.

I've now installed most recent XP version of avisynth+, and restored original MeGUI redist folder, and no problems encountered.

Here is the latest ver$ Avs+ for system install (Use/Install the XP version for MeGUI).

New build: Avisynth r4483
https://github.com/pinterf/AviSynthPlus/releases/tag/v3.7.6pre-r4483

20260203 3.7.5.r4483 (pre 3.7.6)
--------------------------------
* rst documentation update: RGBAdjust https://avisynthplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/avisynthdoc/corefilters/adjust.html
* rst documentation update: ColorYUV https://avisynthplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/avisynthdoc/corefilters/coloryuv.html
* optimization: add AVX2 TurnLeft/TurnRight/Turn180 (R/L: 1,5-3x speed).
* optimization: ConvertBits AVX2 integer->float
* optimization: ConvertToPlanarRGB(A): YUV->RGB add AVX2 (2-3x speed)
* optimization: ConvertToPlanarRGB(A): YUV->RGB 16 bit: a quicker way (1,5x)
* Fix: C version of 32-bit ConvertToPlanarRGB YUV->RGB to not clamp output RGB values.
* ConvertToPlanarRGB(A): add bits parameter to alter target bit-depth.
* ConvertToPlanarRGB(A): from YUV->RGB full range output: optimized in-process when bits=32, other cases call ConvertBits internally.
* Fix: Packed RGB conversions altering the bit-depth (e.g. rgb32->ConvertToRGB64() worked always in full range.
* Add more AVX512 resampler code. (WIP)
* Add more AVX512_BASE code paths (Resamplers)
* Build: add _avx512b.cpp/hpp pattern in CMake to detect source to compile with base (F,CD,BW,DQ,VL) flags.
However AVX512_BASE itself is set only when AVX512_FAST found.
For pre-Ice Lake (older AVX512) systems you can enable it with SetMaxCPU("avx512base+") and get the optimized AVX512_BASE functions.
* Build: add new architecture z/Architecture

EDIT: Folder x64-xp, or x86-xp for 32 bit.

[Kurt.noise]

@nechto : there is only one audio stream based on your logfile...so, you can't have more as target. Maybe, that was another job ?

@StainlessS : so, basically, you say that the latest C++ Runtime dlls (https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe) are not xp compatible ?

[StainlessS]

I copied files from my system32 to redist folder,
cant remember if I also tried copy dll's from the linked installer. (or from system32 AFTER install of the linked installer).

I usually keep my runtimes quite current using https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases
[EDIT: Whenever posted in this thread New versions of free software used in the GUI's :- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=184719 ]

However, I've just noticed the user seagate is now posting alternative All-In-One dll packs, by user stdout12 (perhaps an alias for abbodi1406).

Repack – Visual C++ redistributable runtimes v.0.103.0 – by abbodi1406 (https://gitlab.com/stdout12/vcredist/-/releases/v0.103.0//)

EDIT: abbodi1406 and stdout12 seem to be the same person. [abbodi1406 on Github, stdout12 on Gitlab]

EDIT: What I do know is, if I install Avisynth+ latest, NON-XP version, it dont work with my system dll's [copied into redist] and current MeGUI.
(MeGUI, starts and immediately disappears in a puff of smoke).

the problem is:
I have Russian as default and English as second default.
in result I cant recode folder due to system automatically not getting different than Russian language(first default).

P.S. And I would prefer to have setting "make video without audio if noone audio is matching" and if this setting is not set + video has only 1 audio to include this audio automatically without match to choosen language - sometimes video contain language of system, not real language(eg Android in French will give you video with "French").

probably because the AvisynthWrapper.dll is not compatible within the latest Avisynth+ library.

What sure that works currently its : latest Avisynth+ r4483 & AvisynthWrapper library both compiled w/ VS2026 & latest VC++ runtime dlls

because this is what I'm using these days on my machine (Windows 11 Pro x64).

A new AvisynthWrapper.dll could be a good thing. The one that's included in MeGUI is like from 2018 or so is i recall correctly

I need the 32-bit version to use the custom filters I had made, but I'm getting an Avisynth error and MeGui crashes when I try to add MT.


"There were many missing components in the MeGUI program updates, so I added them manually instead of using the auto-updater. I also have the AviSynth portable inactive error. These manual files might be causing the issue — could that be why the program is not working correctly?"

[pooksahib]

Hi. I downloaded MeGUI 6.6.6.6, adjusted the settings to my liking and indexed a video. All worked well. I then UNticked the box saying 'always use the included avisynth' and MeGUI just shut down and won't reopen - the logo appears for a second (as it normally would) but then disappears. So I have MeGUI 6.6.6.6 on my PC but can't open it.
Does anyone know cause and cure for this weirdness? Many thanks.

No support for 32bits stuff from me. Its time to move on.

Do you have avisynth as standalone installed in your system ?

[pooksahib]

I have 3.7.0 (32 and 64 bit) installed via AvisynthRepository. If I delete settings.xml then I can open 6.6.6.6 but unticking the 'always use the included avisynth' box results in me not being able to open it next time. Uninstalling the Repository avisynths fixes the problem but I shouldn't have to do that surely... MeGUI 2944 has no such problem. Thanks for your interest.

Sometimes a video just won't edit properly. I've just had an old wmv video that went out of sync when I used 64bit but perfect with 32bit.
The Repository only goes as far as 3.7.0. I'm using 3.7.5 with MeGUI 6666's internal avisynth but would still like to know why 6666 shuts down if I untick the 'always use...' box.

That you should report to Avisynth+ thread: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=181351

What that is?

It's this:

That is not "the repository", the repository of Avisynth+ is there: https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus

[pooksahib]

I see what's happened here. What I've been talking about is the Universal Avisynth Installer but, once you have it, your working folder is called AvisynthRepository. Just to reiterate, my issue is: my MeGUI 6666 won't open if I've unticked the 'Always use the included' box. To get it back up I either have to delete the settings.xml file or uninstall my avisynth (from the Universal Avisynth Installer).

[StainlessS]

@pooksahib
Yes, I had the same thing, If you install XP version AVS+ from avisynth repository, then should work ok.
I need to test some stuff to see if there is a better solution.

See earlier in this thread. :- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2027905#post2027905

EDIT: Copy the XP version (avisynth.dl, etc) into you Groucho2004's Avisynth Universal Installer directory and install that via the Universal Installer setavs.cmd.
Hopefully, we can come up with a better solution soon.
(maybe ideally, MeGUI would have its own pre-installed requirements [not including any redistributed dir stuff] and current non MeGUI avisynth could have it's own requirements,
and no redist directory stuff required at all. I hope that this is possible, but dont know.)

[pooksahib]

Thanks, StainlessS, good to know it wasn't just me. However, since I last posted, I've had a second encode fail with 6666 (audio sync issue) so I'm going back to MeGUI 2944 for now.

[pooksahib]

I edit a lot of WMV's with MeGUI 2944 and, in the last week or so, a problem has arisen that I've never had before: the audio encode stage takes forever. So long, in fact, that I 'end task' and convert the audio to WAV and start again. Has anyone else had this slow audio encode and maybe knows of cause and cure? It seems to be very random: I've had WMV's that I've worked on a few times successfully but when I go back to make another cut - audio takes ages. Very odd...
