MeGUI development

[stax76]

I must confess that I decided to stop the development from now.

Why? I also considere to stop StaxRip since a very long time, a lot of the work is a bit boring to be honest and I don't feel it lacks much regarding my personal needs. I spended so much time and users also spended much time so it's really hard to let it down. I would much like to fork MPC or MediaPortal, rather MPC in order to improve my C++ skills, I know .NET pretty well so it's not that exciting because there isn't much to explore. Gabest is afaik very talented and experienced so I would gain much from that.

[Sharktooth]

well, i also consideret to stop some time ago but im still here...
well, my activity as a developer has reduced... and by much but...

[Kurtnoise]

Why?
mostly the lack of interest for coding. Coding is fun sometimes but sex is better you know...:D:D:D

Second reason is mainly because I'm tired to fix bugs and the lack of knowledge to fix some others...

[Ramir Gonzales]

That's really harsh to hear, just now, with x264 getting vital changes (always had, actually) it's hard to hear developers of great tools saying these words.:(

[Ajax_Undone]

Well as long as you guys keep up the development I will keep donating what I can...

It is a great addition to the community here at doom9 and would hate to lose it...

0.3.0.2015
- (sharktooth) [ProgressWindow] Fix for #2114239 (Progress Windows size).
- (sharktooth) [x264] Changed subme to 2 for turbo first pass. Should ensure a much lower quality drop at the cost of some encoding speed in the first pass.
also released as installer package on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=156112

0.3.0.2016
- (sharktooth) [MainForm] Fixed a cosmetic bug (#2120787)
- (sharktooth) [AviSynthWindow] Fixed various bugs in Auto-Preview
- (sharktooth) [ProgressWindow] Cosmetics (feature request #2119132)

I dunno. It's just a large number.

[Sharktooth]

oh well... i think that's a global number for all projects hosted on sourceforge or something like that.

[qyqgpower]

Is crf 1st pass in the TODO list? I think it's pretty useful to determine the approximate bitrate for 2nd pass.

And maybe an automated CRF->VBR 2pass mode can be added?
If the developers would like to implement this feature, I suggest that an option is needed to calculate 2nd pass bitrate(for example 80%) from the result of crf 1st pass.
Since if the crf 1st pass is in Turbo mode, result bitrate is higher, and use this bitrate to do a full quality 2nd pass is overkill for the desired rate factor.

[Sharktooth]

0.3.0.2017
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Fixed #2123859 (psy-trellis value passed to the commandline when trellis disabled).
- (sharktooth) [AVC CQM Editor] Fixed bug #2120046 (CQM editor crash)
- (sharktooth) [x264] Removed --weightb from the "turbo" options since its behavior was changed when --b-adapt 2 was added.

no. please post feature requests in the feature request tracker on the megui sourceforge project page.

Regarding the issue on finding/predicting mpeg Audio Tracks in OneClick/D2V Creator, was there any particular reason for not using MediaInfo instead of looking at DGIndex -preview when the IFO or DVD-Decrypter file isn't around?

I only found some mention on a google search of MediaInfo not being reliable with .vobs in 2006 (hopefully should have IFO files for these anyway, so could keep MediaInfo as fallback) although I'm hoping that's been fixed.

[Kurtnoise]

1/ Radioboxes (Quality - Bitrate - Lossless) shouln't be there imo...
2/ I don't think that putting checkboxes for compliancy is a good idea (let's say hd-dvd and ipod. Uusers could check both in this case or I miss something in your statement)...or this should be divided into different parts.
3/ anyway, that's not bad after all. :)

it is(was) my plan to add mediainfo queries for this...

[Kurtnoise]

for those who want to use x264 rev988 or higher within megui, you can use this build (http://www.mediafire.com/?nutmjzmybvk)...:)












or wait an update. :p

[hydro]

I was trying to get oneclick to work so originally added an extra DGIndex -preview index job with a hack of an extra job.DemuxMode set to 3 to add --preview to the command line and skip all other post-processing tasks. This works but doesn't give me any track selection in the GUI.

I then added some MediaInfo stuff to the oneclick GUI so now need to see if I can undo the DGIndex stuff in the indexing part and use the MediaInfo data.

Let me know if you want me to post the changes although I'm not a developer and this is the first time I've used csharp (other than hello-world to test Mono installs at work) so the code probably needs some refinement.

[Kurtnoise]

yeah, post a patch...we'll see what we can do with it. :)

that looks nice kurtnoise:)

does it by any chance have the ability to find out the language of the audio and subtitle streams as eac3to cant:(

some crashes i experienced in a recent megui and x264 build, these were when i had opened a .avs file in avs script creator as i was wanting to determine how much to crop top and bottom on a bluray movie. I was scrolling through the video and experienced this crash message, the application worked fine though, kept functioning:

http://i37.tinypic.com/5zqob8.jpg

same with the below screenshot:

http://i36.tinypic.com/10ruviv.jpg

The bluray movie had VC-1 video and truehd audio, i used graphstudio, avsp, megui, x264, haali, ffdshow. The source was a single .m2ts file.

Hmmm... TortoiseSVN patch/diff isn't as forgiving as the GNU equivalents :-(

I've posted it as:
2141406 MediaInfo in OneClick and D2V for audio files patch

It builds clean and have tested it against an assortment of .vob, .mpg, .ts and incorrectly named .ts files which are really in MPEG-PS format.

edit: could you upload a new patch against the last revision please ?

I've comitted a lot of your code...I would like to have the rest.

[hydro]

I think you've got most of it, there are some minor changes I've made since then and one correction -- if (putDummyTracks), which I'll post shortly.

I've removed my DGIndex --preview entries as they were occurring too late in the process and didn't allow for read-only source directories (.log file).

The only other changes I have from the repository are for the addition of a default output directory for oneclick, d2v creator and mainform video. I'll post these separately once I've also done mainform audio and added a output text box for AviSynth script creator, which are the areas I've been using recently.

Do you know what this is about in mainform and if it's still relevant post some fixes done months ago by berrinam:

public void openOneClickFile(string fileName)
{
#warning fix bitrate calculator
/* OneClickWindow ocmt = new OneClickWindow(this, VideoProfile.SelectedIndex,
GenericProfile<AudioCodecSettings>.SelectedIndex, jobUtil,
videoEncodingComponent1.VideoEncoderProvider,
audioEncodingComponent1.AudioEncoderProvider);
ocmt.Input = fileName;
ocmt.ShowDialog();*/
}

I noticed it when checking to see where I need to set the output directory?

I forgot to say thanks earlier to all the current and past developers for a great product!!! :thanks:

See third patch in 2141406.

I had some trouble opening Form1 in VS2008 Express designer so I did something to fix it in the 3rd patch but I'm not sure if that was the right thing in the right place?

I've posted the default output dir changes in 2144486 (use the _fixed version) although I think the GUI changes may conflict with the new proxy support in the settings window.

What version is this in? What is being used for extracting the streams? eac3to?

[Sharktooth]

i think kurtnoise is working on it.

[Greif]

Ok, lots of questions...

What are the design goals for MeGUI? Is there a roadmap for the project? Are there milestones?

I see that there is a Visual Studio 2008 solution in the trunk. Can the project be upgraded to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2005 support be dropped?

How does one get svn commit access? I`d like to take a stab at some of the smaller bugs to get started with the project. :)

:thanks:

edit: I guess I will have to submit patches for review. I will take a look to see what I want to work on and submit something. No clue how to make a patch file - only thing I have ever done with SVN is retrieve a HEAD revision. I will figure it out.

[Kurtnoise]

I'll check it out...I used to use the Pro Edition not the EE.

[Kurtnoise]

yes, it uses eac3to. Let me know if you're interesting by patches, although this part is not finished yet.

[Kurtnoise]

What are the design goals for MeGUI?
none that I know of...:p

Is there a roadmap for the project? Are there milestones?
no roadmap, no milestones clearly define. Just random ideas...

I see that there is a Visual Studio 2008 solution in the trunk. Can the project be upgraded to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2005 support be dropped?
iirc, that's been already discussed before. Yes, the project can be updated to the .NET 3.5 but it's limited to Win XP/Vista/Server2003-2008. So, to avoid restrictions, we use still the 2.xx. Anyway, I'm still open about this...:)

How does one get svn commit access? I`d like to take a stab at some of the smaller bugs to get started with the project. :)
1/ Install TortoiseSVN
2/ Right click on a folder where you want to store the projet --> SVN checkout
3/ Copy this url of repository in the right place : https://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megui/megui/trunk
4/ Click ok
5/ That's all ;)

The best way for reviews is to split big patches into small ones.

To create a patch:
1/ Select the main folder where the megui code is located.
2/ Right click on this folder --> TortoiseSVN --> Create Patch.

[Greif]

yes, it uses eac3to. Let me know if you're interesting by patches, although this part is not finished yet.

I love eac3to, I use it all the time. I can help with getting this incorporated into MeGUI.

You can look to some of the GUIs available for eac3to to see how some of the more advanced settings are exposed from a usability perspective.

[Greif]

iirc, that's been already discussed before. Yes, the project can be updated to the .NET 3.5 but it's limited to Win XP/Vista/Server2003-2008.

At this point, anyone running versions of Windows prior to XP shouldn't be using MeGUI. :p

[Kurtnoise]

You can look to some of the GUIs available for eac3to to see how some of the more advanced settings are exposed from a usability perspective.
keep in mind that I don't want to extend all eac3to settings in this part. Just use it to demux BD & HD-DVD discs and applied gaps.

[Greif]

Yeah, I definitely agree, keep it simple.

80% of the users only use 20% of the features.

[Kurtnoise]

Once you've added the second patches in 2141406 it should all (hopefully) be working :)

A problem remains for those who don't use the oneclick feature (like me :p). In the d2v creator, by applying your patch, getDGindexLogInfo() is running at the end. However, the log file is not created there.

So, here is an idea:
1/ create a boolean to use the DGindex preview.
2/ Apply it to "true" when we run the oneclick form or to "false" when we run the d2v creator tool.
3/ Hence, using this bool value to raise getDGindexLogInfo().

What do you think ?


btw, all patches & fixes from you have been committed now except the log. So, many thanks to you. :)

[saint-francis]

keep in mind that I don't want to extend all eac3to settings in this part. Just use it to demux BD & HD-DVD discs and applied gaps.

Will eac3to be also added to the audio encoding options in MeGUI so we can transcode some of the new HD audio formats? I understand that you don't want to make MeGUI a full front end for eac3to but the original purpose of eac3to was to deal with the new audio formats. For example if one demuxes all of the tracks from a BD, re encodes the video with x264 and ends up with a 4-8 GB file and then has only a truehd audio track which could be the same size as the video.

I'm really excited about all of this.
Thank you all for you time and effort.

Edit: Are there any updates on being able to donate money to the project?

[Kurtnoise]

well...with the current build you can already transcode HD audio streams (except eac3 format).

[Greif]

Any thoughts around prompting EUL agreements from the UpdateWindow?

Looking towards adding NeroAacEnc as an available update.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2023934&group_id=156112&atid=798479

[Kurtnoise]

where licence.txt file is located in your example ? in our server ?



@saint-francis: I believe there is a link to donate on SF but admins project don't seem to activate it in the settings. Wait an answer from Sharktooth or Berrinam or Doom9 himself about that...

[Greif]

I was thinking if UpdateWindow was to display the EUL prior to downloading, the EUL text would have to be downloaded and prompted to the user.

<neroaacenc type="file">
<eulpath>[path to license]</eulpath>
<filepath version="1.3.3.0">NeroDigitalAudio.zip</filepath>
</neroaacenc>

The [path to license] in the above example would need to parse the EUL from http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nerodigital-nero-aac-codec.php. Not very clean. Unless the EUL text can be stored seperately on MeGUI servers (ie NeroDigitalAudio_eul.txt).

In this second example, the EUL is contained within the download and it specified by the 'eul' attribute. The update is downloaded and the license is prompted to the user. If the user does not agree, then the files will be deleted.

<neroaacenc type="file">
<filepath version="1.3.3.0"
eul="license.txt">NeroDigitalAudio.zip</filepath>
</neroaacenc>

It all depends on how the program authors allow their application to be distributed.

[Greif]

In the case of Nero, they have a public anonymous FTP which they offer the code from. There is nothing requiring users to agree to an EUL prior to downloading from the FTP site.

I'm not a lawyer though, so I don't know if that is legit. :devil:

[Kurtnoise]

yep...it's the Sharktooth idea. ;)

Patch welcome. :p

It seems to be working ok for me and demuxes the audio (if I remember to select a track or select demux all) into the project directory. It even loads it into the main form if you tick the load box, however, I did notice that it doesn't automatically load the video. Did that break recently?

[Greif]

Got an unstable patch submitted: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2146987&group_id=156112&atid=798478

I don't know why but the eul attribute isn't being read in properly. I"m not sure if I have the property being set in the correct spot.

I'm still trying to learn the solution architecture...

[Greif]

Got the patch working. The EUL is downloaded prior to the update. Either the EUL text file is stored on the application author's server or on MeGUIs.

Please verify the way I am handling the EUL is proper.

As a side note, I'd like to redo the way updates are managed.

[Kurtnoise]

yes as I said, the DGLog part hasn't been committed yet. (Only on my local tree for testings).

I read this in your patch:
+ //AAA: DGLog: List<AudioTrackInfo> list;
+ //AAA: DGLog: getDGindexLogInfo(Path.GetDirectoryName(projectSource) + "\\" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(projectSource) + ".log" , out list);
+ //AAA: DGLog: for (int counter = 0; counter < list.Count; counter++)


So, I assumed that to use the DGLog part, we have to enable these lines. Am I right ?

So, I assumed that to use the DGLog part, we have to enable these lines. Am I right ?

The DGLog part was a work in progress that was never finished after I realised that the dgindex log doesn't contain audio PIDs for transport streams and I then found I can get the all the information from MediaInfo so you can discard those lines.

[Kurtnoise]

aaa...ok.

So, there is still an issue with the one click encoder. Try with a VOB file as input. Problem rises after the d2v file creation but this is not related to your code afaik.

[hydro]

aaa...ok.

So, there is still an issue with the one click encoder. Try with a VOB file as input. Problem rises after the d2v file creation but this is not related to your code afaik.

Hmmm... d2v uses IFO or now MediaInfo, I forgot Oneclick used the DVD Decrypter file instead of the IFO to get information. I didn't have any DVD Decrypter sources with the stream info present.

Easy fix, delete stream information.txt :sly:

Alternate fix, see videoutil_getsourceinfo.patch in 2141406.

[Kurtnoise]

Well...instead of delete it, I prefer to rename it >> patch (http://pastebin.com/f296bfe7c) :)

coz this file shouln't be use anymore.


All in all, the one click encoder is fully functional now. Great...;)

[hydro]

coz this file shouln't be use anymore.


I that case just remove the call to the function so the file is ignored - smallpatch (http://pastebin.com/m61ea802e)

It's not used anywhere else as far as I can tell and I would have included it's removal in an earlier patch if I'd noticed that subtitles weren't supported in oneclick anyway.

[Kurtnoise]

applied. Thanks...

[Greif]

any chance of being added to the sourceforge project? i'd like to take part in the dev forum there.

[Greif]

@kurt: how's the stream extractor coming along?

I've been creating an object model around the eac3to (ie Feature, IStream, VideoStream, ChapterStream, etc) and developing the code to properly parse the data from StdOut to create the associated objects.

[Kurtnoise]

almost finished (http://pastebin.com/f20ad40ec)...

quite huge, isn't it ?

Here is my go at it... I still have a lot to do :)

[Kurtnoise]

I think you can merge featureWorker_DoWork() & streamWorker_DoWork() by adding members in the function to expose exe path, source drive and extra command lines

something like:
void Worker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e, string exec, string inputdrive, string args)
{
features = new List<Feature>();
featureWorker.ReportProgress(0, "Retrieving features");

using (Process compiler = new Process())
{
compiler.StartInfo.FileName = exec;
compiler.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", inputdrive, args);
compiler.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
compiler.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
compiler.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

// Set our event handler to asynchronously read the sort output.
compiler.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(featureCompiler_OutputDataReceived);
//compiler.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(LogData);

compiler.Start();
compiler.BeginOutputReadLine();
compiler.WaitForExit();
}

e.Result = "Completed";
}

[Greif]

I think you can merge featureWorker_DoWork() & streamWorker_DoWork() by adding members in the function to expose exe path, source drive and extra command lines

Could I not pass in the arguments when kicking off the background worker process? Something like this...

Create a new Args struct to contain any of the required arguments the DoWork event requires.

struct Args
{
string eac3toPath;
string inputDrive;
string args;
}

Populate the Args struct, then pass it when starting the worker process.

backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync(args);

Reference the arguments in the DoWork event of the background worker.

Args args = e.Argument as Args

[Greif]

And here (http://pastebin.com/m7d93a161) is what I have so far with my eac3to domain.

[Kurtnoise]

Could I not pass in the arguments when kicking off the background worker process? Something like this...

Create a new Args struct to contain any of the required arguments the DoWork event requires.

struct Args
{
string eac3toPath;
string inputDrive;
string args;
}

Populate the Args struct, then pass it when starting the worker process.

backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync(args);

Reference the arguments in the DoWork event of the background worker.

Args args = e.Argument as Args
yeah...everything is possible you know. ;) but that needs to be tested. :p

Some notes regarding your code:
AAC should be dropped (not in BD or HDDVD dics) or you want to have TS files support ?
f.Number = int.Parse(s.Substring(0, 1)); >> f.Number = int.Parse(s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf(")"));
stream.Number = int.Parse(s.Substring(0, 1)); >> stream.Number = int.Parse(s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf(":")));
because you can have digits length > 1

I'm reviewing it. Thanks...

edit: looks ok to me. I need to test it though and I'm waiting Sharktooth reply on this before to commit it.
dont have time to review it. feel free to post a test build for ... testing :)

[Kurtnoise]

It was just to have your comment on this. :) Do you like it or do you prefer something else...?

because EULA clearly mentions that : This License does not provide any rights to reproduce and/or distribute this software package in whole or in any part.


So, to test a build, I need to upload on my website the licence and package files.

[Kurtnoise]

@Greif: I fear that your idea needs to be revisited...See my comment in the previous post above.

[Greif]

It may only apply to commercial software, but who knows...

Like I said, I'm no lawyer. I think if the data were retrieved from Nero's servers, it might work???

Further down, it states to contact Nero for licensing guidance.

There are a few Nero employees who are regulars on these forums, we could run this idea - or another - by them.

Yes, this is an issue with Nero, but how about other software? In general, does software come with EULs which does not allow for distribution?

Another option would be to list the update on the update, but require a manual download by the user.

[Kurtnoise]

and what about adding a link into the node like you have done with eula ? this way:

<neroaacenc type="file" displayname="Nero Digital Audio"
eul="http://server/eul-neroaacenc.txt" link="ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/">
<filepath version="1.3.3.0">NeroDigitalAudio.zip</filepath>
</neroaacenc>

and add also this item for all nodes. Dunno if it's doable...

[ggf31416]

Sorry, wrong thread.

[Doom9]

I asked Nero once if we could distribute their encoder in a way (even if it meant showing the eula first).. the answer then was no.

Column header 'extract as' is ambiguous and can suggest no transcoding is taking place. I think you should use a heading which makes it clear to newbies a conversion is taking place. Maybe 'encode to'?

btw, drive & folder tabs should be merged imo...

[Greif]

any patches/code to share ? :p

Not yet. I have quite a bit let to do:
code stuff, like commenting, adding license header
inserting into the Job queue (no clue how to do that yet)
waiting to hear back from madshi wrt StdError stream and warnings/information messages
GUI stuff like adding a target output folder
lots of work around my eac3to domain model - getting properties parsed out properly, override ToString()s, etc

Hopefully, I should have something to submit in the next couple of days.

btw, drive & folder tabs should be merged imo...

Yeah, now that you mention it, that makes perfect sense. I have code in there querying via WMI to get a list of populated drives. Seems silly now...

[Greif]

Column header 'extract as' is ambiguous and can suggest no transcoding is taking place. I think you should use a heading which makes it clear to newbies a conversion is taking place. Maybe 'encode to'?

But what about the scenarios where there is no encoding taking place? How about "Extract To"?

For naming of the extract files I was going to use the following syntax:
[featureName]_[streamNumber]_[streamName].[extractType]

The screen shot shows the stream.Description in the Name column, I have to change the heading to "Description". The name would be the fist token (via comma split) of the description.

[rack04]

But what about the scenarios where there is no encoding taking place? How about "Extract To"?

How about "Output Format"?

[Sharktooth]

I asked Nero once if we could distribute their encoder in a way (even if it meant showing the eula first).. the answer then was no.
we wont distribute... we will get it directly from their servers.

@kurtnoise: the link should better point to the file not a folder. i mean, IF the file link is present then that link should be used to get the file (btw the correct link is http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroDigitalAudio.zip).

[check]

But what about the scenarios where there is no encoding taking place? How about "Extract To"?Yes, it's tricky. If you could add a column that listed the source format people could work it out themselves. But your choice :)

[Kurtnoise]

@kurtnoise: the link should better point to the file not a folder. i mean, IF the file link is present then that link should be used to get the file (btw the correct link is http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroDigitalAudio.zip).
mmh, maybe I was not clear enough... this implies few modifications in the upgrade.xml file and some changes in the current code.

My goal is to have 4 parameters in the main node:
type
name
eula
link


Then, in the children node only the version corresponding to the package filename.

So, something like that:
<neroaacenc type="file"
name="Nero Digital Audio"
eula="licence.txt"
link="ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/">

<package version="1.3.3.0">NeroDigitalAudio.zip</package>

</neroaacenc>


and so on,...

<x264 type="file"
name="x264 AVC Compressor"
eula=""
link="http://megui.org/auto/">

<package version="r998 - Skystrife's patched build">x264-998.zip</package>

</x264>


Hence, to download we parse link + package...If it's to complicated, we can create several nodes instead :
<264
<type>file</type>
<name>x264 AVC Compressor</name>
<eula></eula>
<link>http://megui.org/auto/</link>
<version>r998 - Skystrife's patched build</version>
<package>x264-998.zip</package>>
</x264>

[Ramir Gonzales]

It's been a long time since I tried (and couldn't get a hold on) MEGui, what drove me away was the fact that there was no real logic in how you would take the steps one after another to get your desired output, but most was that the needed tools where installed in the Programs Folder, thereby disrupting the operation of other movie editing tools.

So my question is : Does the current MEGui version installs the needed apps in a subdirectory of its own, or does it still install them in their usual folder as when you would install the apps manually ?

I really would like to try out the new MEGui, while making sure that other apps (Avisynth, MKVToolnix, etc...Etc...) keep operating nicely with other front-ends.

[Sharktooth]

megui never did what you say. the only thing that megui will install in another program folder are the avisynth filters.

I still have to get this integrated with MeGUI and figure out how to add to the job queue.

[Jawed]

I was, until recently, using MeGUI:

MeGUI Version: 0.2.6.1044
OS used: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Framework used: 2.0 SP1

but have fully updated:

[Information] Versions
-[NoImage] MeGUI Version : 0.3.0.3002
-[NoImage] OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 (5.1.196608.2600)
-[NoImage] Framework used : 2.0 SP1 (2.0.50727.3053)

I'm using x264 r998.

The clip I have tried to encode is 704x424. The Avisynth script sets:

global MeGUI_darx = 2361
global MeGUI_dary = 1000

With the old version of MeGUI the SAR passed to x264 in the command line was 7109:5000. With the new version of MeGUI the SAR is 195433706533:137439094203.

For whatever reason x264 can't cope with that SAR and sets it to 1:1.

Jawed

[Nightshiver]

This has been discussed several times before.

[Sharktooth]

there is a bug in the SAR detection. please feed it manually to x264 with the --sar option (custom commandline options in the codec config window) until we find and fix the bug.

[brogan]

I have an .mkv that has a resolution of 1920x808 & I'm trying to make it playable in my standalone BD player...I've used Ripbot to stretch files like this but they looked too stretched unfortunately...is there a way in Megui to add borders to get to the 1920x1080 resolution?? I'm not sure if it could be done but there is obviously much more in the way of options than RipBot...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Revision 554 of core.util.dar introduced some funky binary search technique for generating fractions.

Well how about this reply? Re-encode without cropping.

[brogan]

Well how about this reply? Re-encode without cropping.

That's what I was trying to find out how to do. If I knew how to do that, I wouldn't have asked. I have several files that were either 1920x800 or 1920x808 & I would just make them 1920x1080, in Blu-ray Structure & burn them...but they looked totally stretched...my understanding (I could totally be wrong) was that even if I left the files at their native resolution, when I choose "Blu-ray" as output, they would automatically be resized to 1920x1080...that's why I wanted to know if there was a way in MeGUI to do the "AddBorders" command when creating the script so the video would still be 1920x800 & add the black borders so they would be letterboxed..AddBorders(0, 140, 0, 140) for example...if a movie is in a 2.35 AR, I would like to keep it that way so it doesn't get all mucked up when converting it...

[Sharktooth]

you dont get it. re-encode from the original without cropping.
if you dont have the original discs then your request is a forum rule 6 violation.
also your posts are off-topic. this is the megui DEVELOPMENT thread. for troubleshoting and other issues or any other help, there are other threads.

[LeXXuz]

there is a bug in the SAR detection. please feed it manualli to x264 with the --sar option (custom commandline options in the codec config window) until we find and fix the bug.

What about just cropping down the number of digits to 4 or 5 of the calculated sar values before passing them to the encoder? Still should be accurate enough and would solve the problem.

It's just a simple idea ofcourse. :D

[Kurtnoise]

I don't know why number digits would be the problem but I cannot reproduce here on my side.

So, could you try to describe more precisely what you do (+ what kind of source, pal or ntsc, etc...) ?

[Sharktooth]

i had such a source once... but it was a rented DVD i no longer have.

[Jawed]

I don't know why number digits would be the problem but I cannot reproduce here on my side.
x264 can't cope with a 12-digit numerator and 12-digit denominator - have you checked what the acceptable size is for x264?

When given these over-refined SARs, x264 produces a video file with a SAR of 1:1. The encode is fine, in my case, just the SAR is wrong.

If I progressively reduce the significant digits in the fraction sent to x264 (in order to find when the SAR is correct), I eventually get to 10 digits, and an encode with the correct SAR:

I did this test from a command line, I didn't use meGUI.

Notice the info line "using SAR="? This line does not show when the SAR fraction has too many digits. I guess x264 will only accept numerator and denominator smaller than 2147483648 (2^31). 9 significant digits seems like a safe maximum (i.e. 1e-8 in the code).

So, could you try to describe more precisely what you do (+ what kind of source, pal or ntsc, etc...) ?
25fps PAL in my case, the rest of the info is here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1193855#post1193855

I hand code the Avisynth (copy+paste is my friend), not using any of MeGUI's cropping/resizing features - I merely use meGUI as a task manager. I set MeGUI_darx by calculation with MeGUI_dary always set to 1000, unless it's a regular case such as 16:9, and use a simple calculation for X based upon the cropping, the original frame dimensions and the original DAR.

So that's why this particular clip has MeGUI_darx=2361 and MeGUI_dary=1000 and the SAR is 1.421965909090909090909090909...

I can confirm this. At the moment I'm backing up most parts of my DVD-collection (PAL) to h264 for use with my Tvix box. Almost every third source ends up with those long numerators/denominators. Mostly 21:9 sources get this strange error.

At the moment I start the encode, watch the log file and If I see those long numbers, I simply write down the first 4 or 5 digits, cancel the encode and restart it with manual --sar setting from the numbers of the logfile.

NicMPG123Source always create the .d2a file, then the patch must be for mpa, mpg, mp2 and mp3.

Maybe in next version I make optional create the file.
If the file exist AviSynth don't need scan all the audio file to know the sample count when open a second time the same file.

I would to provide the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray tool as a MeGUI tool window but also as an external EXE.

Pretty much the only place I would need to use them would be on form load/close and on job queue.

Let me know what you think.

[Kurtnoise]

@Greif: welcome...:) and I asked you something about that on devs forum on SF.

@Hydro: I committed the first one (jobControl).

@Sharktooth: I think it's time to upgrade the package on SF. Now, megui is more stable than before...

@Check : I'm ready to move to the trac system now...:p

[ggf31416]

Is this intentional?

CommandlineJobProcessor.cs
public void changePriority(ProcessPriority priority)
{
[...]
case ProcessPriority.HIGH:
proc.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.RealTime;
break;


If it's intentional, could you add a confirmation dialog when the priority is set to HIGH (for OS other than Vista, as Vista already have one)

[Kurtnoise]

you mean high priority ?

well, no...it's not intentional but I can add the confirmation dialog as well.

[ggf31416]

you mean high priority ?


I mean if setting PriorityClass to RealTime when priority is HIGH is intentional or not.

[Sharktooth]

@Kurtnoise: done

[check]

@Check : I'm ready to move to the trac system now...:p
Bah! If you had mentioned this 15 days earlier :P But it's OK, assuming the other main devs (sharktooth) approves also I'll set it up either this weekend or next.

BTW, about priority, why even have realtime as an option? I think even High should not be there, if people want it they can use taskmgr.exe :p

[Sharktooth]

RealTime hangs other processes. IMHO it shouldnt be an option. High should be more than enough...

[hydro]

NicMPG123Source always create the .d2a file, then the patch must be for mpa, mpg, mp2 and mp3.

Maybe in next version I make optional create the file.
If the file exist AviSynth don't need scan all the audio file to know the sample count when open a second time the same file.

I thought I'd pointed it at an mp3 and didn't notice a .d2a but just tried it again and yes it's there.

Is it supposed to work with .mpg files as it just hangs on my system with no output, in MPC hangs at "opening..."?

I can see the usefulness in AviSynth to avoid scanning large audio files but do you think processing an audio file multiple times is a frequent occurence in MeGUI, I din't notice anything that does 2-pass audio encoding and AVS cutting doesn't open the audio file either?

Much simpler change for all Nic123MPG sources: http://pastebin.com/m22dff47

@Kurt: SF nick is ateeq, although I'm not a developer so once I fix the things that feel broken to me in MeGUI I'll probably lose interest...

[Sharktooth]

hydro, all megui devs code it in their free time. so if you feel you can lose interest, well... that's not a big problem. even occasional patches or discussion about features and bugs are welcome and i gladly accept your work even if you do it only occasionally or when you have time.
that said, the kurtnoise offer is still valid ;)

[Sharktooth]

welcome on board hydro :)

0.3.0.3005
- (ateeq) mod16 undercrop for anamorphic encoding

Can someone explain this one?

[Nightshiver]

What's to explain? There was a mod16 overcrop, now there's a mod16 undercrop. What do you think it does?

[Greif]

I wasn't aware of this feature... had to look deeper to find it.

[Sharktooth]

from what i see there is now an option to Undercrop instead of overcrop or resize.
Undercropping means the cropping function will not remove some lines to comply with mod16 but it will leave some small black borders around the picture.
over/undercrop features can be automated (using a 8 pixel bias to decide where to undercrop or undercrop)... one day ill do it...

This is my fault, I had my msys environment set up incorrectly for the build (I had it set to my testing environment and stuff borked). I'll post a fixed build soon.

I find switching between x264 profiles in the x264 configuration dialog tends to throw a lot of annoying errors in the event handlers.

IMHO when setting Macroblock options to custom, I should be able to select P4x4 regardless if it breaks compliance.

I appreciate a warning, but hate being forced. :)

Thanks.

[hydro]

The previous behavior was to reset the level to unrestricted if you tried to set p4x4 so you can achieve the same by setting level to unrestricted (after the next update to fix a stupid bug) before trying to set p4x4?

[Audionut]

so you can achieve the same by setting level to unrestricted

No you can't. P4x4 is not selectable unless the AVC Level is 2.2 or lower.

P4x4 works fine with x264 and level 4.1 on PS3.

- (sharktooth) [AviSynthWindow.cs] Default resize values now equal to the source file resolution values.

I have noticed that now on the music dvds that i encode the resolution defaults to 720 while before it was at 680....

might sound a silly question as i'm not well up with the resolutions and such....but does this mean that before i was encoding or resizing at 680 where the source was 720?

thanks

[Dark Shikari]

Please stop trying to force false compliance... all levels allow p4x4.

[Adub]

@tomcat_
Yeah. The standard resolution for DVD's is 720.

[tomcat_]

so before the megui was defaulting at 680?

*edit* from what i understand aspect ratio is a hot subject...so reading a bit around...i'm very confused...so i guess i will have to read more...cause i have no clue what i have been encoding so far...as all the dvds were at 680 using the default settings of megui...

[Adub]

Yes, before MeGUI was defaulting to 640, or whatever it thought was best.

Edit: fixed to 640. oops.

[Sharktooth]

IIRC it was 640... and that was an arbitrary value, so i removed it.
a fix for the p4x4 thing has been committed. a new build is coming soon.

re: trac setup. I was hoping to set trac up on my main server (rather than a spare VM like it was) but it's proving complicated. More updates later this weekend.

[Sharktooth]

take your time, there is no hurry.

[hydro]

Please stop trying to force false compliance... all levels allow p4x4.

MeGUI used to reset Level to unrestricted if P4x4 was selected in levels > 3.1 or 3:

invalidLevelHelp = "P4x4 macroblocks are not allowed in level > 3 or in level 3 with B frames.";
I just took that for granted and changed it so you couldn't select P4x4 except <3.1 and unrestricted (ok I got the logic wrong in the current relase so you can't select p4x4 in unrestricted).

If it's related to MaxMvsPer2Mb http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-125734.html, then I take it you are saying the check/restriction should be lifted for all levels as the likelihood of running into problems is negligible?

thanks.

[Adub]

That's a feature request. All feature requests need to go into the sourceforge page, or they will probably be ignored.

[hajj_3]

is it not a bugfix? as the audio encoding section of the main window can open .mpa files to encode to .mp4 etc so surely the bitrate calculator should be able to do this otherwise the bitrate wont be able to be calculated properly.

[check]

whatever it is, it's not what should go in this thread.

[Dark Eiri]

Can I suggest something? I think it's well known that no MP4 splitters are able to fix negative audio delay.
I wonder if MeGUI could detect if the delay is negative, in the MP4 Muxer and delay the video instead. Wouldn't it fix the problem?

[Kurtnoise]

nope...

If there is an audio delay, it should be "fixed" during your audio transcoding unless you use directly the muxer ?

[Dark Eiri]

Oh, I didn't reencode the audio. I'm trying to encode some HDTV .ts, the audio already is AAC, so...

[Kurtnoise]

this belongs to containers forum but...

did you try to mux directly your audio stream from the ts file ?

[Dark Eiri]

Demuxed it with DGindex and then added it to the MP4 Muxer inside MeGUI.
I mean, YAMB lets me delay the video, so the audio sync is fixed, I was thinking something like that for the internal MP4 Muxer.
I don't know if standalones can detect the video delay correctly, though...

@Sharktooth: can you update the upgrade.xml file ? to have the yadif node in the avisynth deinterlacer subtree. Thanks...:)

like this one (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=MeGUI/&file=upgrade.xml).

[Sharktooth]

why ?

[Kurtnoise]

as I said...in the updater, to have the yadif plugin in the avs deinterlacer subtree.

Currently, yadif is only in the root, not part of the avisynth filters.

[Sharktooth]

no, it's not possible. if you move yadif under avisynth section the file will be extracted in the avisynth plugin folder... and that's wrong coz it is a stdcall plugin and should not be placed in the avisynth plugin folder.

[Kurtnoise]

you can store yadif wherever you want...it's just LoadCplugin or Load_Stdcall_plugin the most important.

[Sharktooth]

if you move it under avisynth tree it will be stored in the avisynth plugin folder...

[check]

I believe yadif is no longer a weird plugin but is instead called normally. http://avisynth.org.ru/yadif/yadif.html

[Adub]

Nope, it's still "wierd". Read a little down on the page you linked to.

Implemented as Avisynth C-plugin (not regular Avisynth plugin).
Must be loaded with Load_Stdcall_plugin("yadif.dll") or LoadCplugin("yadif.dll") (not LoadPlugin !).

[Sharktooth]

yep, that's why it should not be placed in the avisynth plugins dir, or avisynth will try to autoload it (using the LoadPlugin) whenever an .avs is "run". that may cause problems.

[Emp3r0r]

I'm working on a bitrate calculator to help with choosing filesizes based on quality rather than just target filesize. I need this because:

I rarely do a compressablity check
I'm not as concerned about fitting to physical media
When I do aim for a target size, I want to verify I'm using enough bitrate for the video


It essentially adds bits per pixel (bpp) as a prominent guide for choosing the filesize. The idea is that each codec has different efficiencies at different bpp. The ranges can be set and that allows the calculator to give an educated guess about the quality.

There is also one extra component that can be set based on the complexity of the source material. Changing this from low to high that will slightly skew the efficiency ranges.

My question, would anybody else find this useful? If so, I can work towards a patch for megui rather than a standalone app.

i've just replied to a guy in the italian forum that was unable to obtain a 8mbps encode (1080p) coz of the default min qp set to 10...
if the source slightly varies from the average compressibility, BPP becomes completely useless...
dont waste your time, all we need is a compressibility test... and i already know how to do it, it's just i dont have time...

[Emp3r0r]

@Sharktooth: I think you missed the point. Not everyone wants to take the time to do a compressibility test. Also, bpp has been useful to me as a guide for many years. Especially as I tend to encode at various resolutions.

With the calculator, if someone does a compressibility test you could just replace the "complexity" with "compressibility".

[Sharktooth]

maybe it could be handy if it will be only taken as a guidance.
ill think about it.

[Selur]

... taking it as general guidance and using it as an option to 'calculate by' like Emp3r0r suggested in his screenshot are different things. ;)
I think a field that shows the bpp shouldn't hurt. :)

Cu Selur

[Adub]

@Emp3r0r,
I am most definitely interested.

[Emp3r0r]

@Emp3r0r,
I am most definitely interested.Any suggested changes to the prototype?

Should we relabel quality to something else like, "potential quality" :) or "guidance"? and possibly make complexity more prominent and add some better explanations. I think veteran coder's know what makes a video harder to compress.

Edit: also it isn't obvious from the screenshots but both the audio and ranges were built to support an unlimited number. A scroll bar get's added automatically.

Edit2: the buttons next to the sizes allow you to toggle between "GB, MB, KB, kbps, Mbps"

Also, are the radio button's even needed, I'm not sure what purpose they serve.

Devs, I'm shutting down my MeGUI auto-update mirror as I'm planning to move MeWiki to a new machine with a bandwidth cap. I'm hoping to get this done before christmas. It will result in a few hours of downtime for the wiki too, but nothing serious. Might be worth looking for someone else to host an update mirror in the coming weeks. I can't really say how much bandwidth is required because it all depends how much gets updated, but in busier months it was hitting around 300gb.

I'll be looking again at setting up Trac once the wiki is on this new server. Side note: Trac is the most annoying web app I have ever installed :p.

Regarding BPP: I really don't see the point of including a tool for this metric. It's an inaccurate measure and would clutter up the program. It has fallen out of favour for a reason, I hope it dies soon.

Today I updated to MeGUI 0.3.0.3009 (and 0.3.0.3011 via internal update). I have a couple of questions/complaints.

version 0.3.x has a new bitrate calc. it will fit your needs for sure.I'm sorry to say, but it does not. The Bitrate Calculator has to be functional for everyone who uses MeGUI in my opinion! As explained in the quoted thread, it doesn't fit my needs.
I've kept using MeGUI 0.2.5.1007 for a long time solely because the Bitrate Calculator showed me KBs. When I would change the bitrate, all filesizes (in KB as well as MB) would change automatically along. The Bitrate Calculator with 0.3.0.3011 only shows me MBs.
Forgot how the Bitrate Calculator with MeGUI 0.2.5.1007 looked like?
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/848/megui0251007bitratecalczw7.th.png (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/848/megui0251007bitratecalczw7.png)
If you would be so kind as to (re!)include this very simple feature, then I'm a very happy man!

Another reason I had to update was because I couldn't use x264 anymore since ± rev.1000, which made me believe there were new features that MeGUI 0.2.x doesn't support.

I noticed the standard 2pass HQ profile now has --subme 7 (Subpixel Refinement: 7 - RD on all frames) set by default. What's the difference between --subme 6,7 and the new -subme 8,9? Is it really worth using as for the time it takes, as for the image quality it produces?

I noticed Adaptive B-frames got another option. MeGUI tells me the recommended setting is 1-Fast, while the 2pass HQ profile has 2-Optimal. So I guess it ís a rather important setting, or is it?

Where have the settings "RDO for B-frames" and "Bidirectional M.E." gone?

I also noticed the 2pass Anime_Toons HQ has Adaptive Quantizers disabled. Is this in some way harmfull for anime content?

Everything else looks very well origanized.
Oh yes, almost forgot... what are "Workers" and what can I do with them?

[Sharktooth]

about x264 :search:
about the calculator, see below.
workers are used for parallelizing jobs.
every worker can be run in parallel with other workers. that's for maximizing the CPU usage for encoders that do no support multithreading or to just encode 2 or more different things simultaneously.

bitrate calculator (how to set a custom filesize - same applies for audio.):
http://mirror05.x264.nl/Sharktooth/MeGUI/bitrate.png

[Reino]

I was afraid you would come up with this...
This is not what I meant! I mean the other way around.
When I change the bitrate (with the little arrow-buttons for example) I'd like the filesize (preferably in KBs and MBs and maybe GBs to be future-proof) seeing changed accordingly, just like it did with 0.2.5.1007(!).
If I want to enter a specific filesize to begin with, I'd like to do it the same way I can now as with the bitrate. It's so discursive when you have to go through a menu to be able to enter a specific filesize in KBs, while the end result is still in MBs...
The 0.2.5.1007 Bitrate Calculator was oh so perfect for me in all these aspects! :(

dont waste your time, all we need is a compressibility test... and i already know how to do it, it's just i dont have time...

I agree the bits/pixel ratio can only serve as a very rough estimation, it can vary greatly between sources

A compressibility test would be great, so I hope you (or anyone else) finds the time to implement it :)

When I change the bitrate (with the little arrow-buttons for example) I'd like the filesize (preferably in KBs and MBs and maybe GBs to be future-proof) seeing changed accordingly, just like it did with 0.2.5.1007(!).
If I want to enter a specific filesize to begin with, I'd like to do it the same way I can now as with the bitrate. It's so discursive when you have to go through a menu to be able to enter a specific filesize in KBs, while the end result is still in MBs...
The 0.2.5.1007 Bitrate Calculator was oh so perfect for me in all these aspects! :(
what you say does not make any sense. the encoders rate control is not so perfect to hit the very exact size, also if you need a specific size, why dont you set it instead of highering/lowering the bitrate to reach your desired size?
you're grabbing the snake by the wrong end...

[check]

yep, that's why it should not be placed in the avisynth plugins dir, or avisynth will try to autoload it (using the LoadPlugin) whenever an .avs is "run". that may cause problems.

oops, my bad. I have a copy in my plugins dir though and no problems caused.

[check]

MeWiki has been migrated. Can you please release a new version of MeGUI without my server in the autoupdate list?

[Kurtnoise]

you need just an exe or you want to use the updater ?

I have no preference. It's worth waiting though, I'm helping alexins set up a mirror now.

[Sharktooth]

about "[MuxProvider] add also AC3 streams as supported audio codec for the mp4 muxer", i think mp4box should be updated.
do you know a relatively stable revision that supports ac3 in mp4?
i mean... is this (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=mp4tools/&file=MP4Box-0.4.5.zip) safe to use?

EDIT: it worked... so i assume it is...

[Kurtnoise]

yes, it's quite stable for the megui tasks...

Guys, change default parameter values in x264 preset for Blu-Ray of VBV Buffer size and max bitrate to 30000 and 38000 respectively, for compatibility to Sonic Scenarist (and also Blu-Ray spec at all, 30000 is max allowed cpb buffer size).

[Dark Shikari]

what do you think?

[tebasuna51]

I think the Audio Option 'Improve Accuracy using 32bits and Float computations' in now obsolete.
And the 'Increase Volume automatically' is, at least, confuse. I can't select Normalize without DRC.

I suggest delete these options and use something like:
- Apply Dynamic Range Compression in AC3/DTS sources
- Normalize peaks to 100% (or a slider/box to select a value)

And maybe we can add also a new option easy to implement like the 'Ouput channels' list with:

Samplerate/Speed:

Keep original
Change to 44100 Hz SSRC(44100)
Change to 48000 Hz SSRC(48000)
SpeedUp (23.976->25) AssumeSampleRate((AudioRate()*1001+480)/960).SSRC(AudioRate())
SlowDown (25->23.976) SSRC((AudioRate()*1001+480)/960).AssumeSampleRate(AudioRate())

[Kurtnoise]

Good idea...I'll add/remove them this week. :)


There is also a new feature about audio stuff that came to my mind yesterday : built a custom transcoder (to use any audio encoders).

[Kurtnoise]

@Sharktooth: when you have time, could you update aften ac3 dvd presets ? (just force the resampling to 48000Hz)

I can upload them if you prefer...

[Sharktooth]

tonight or tomorrow, or just upload them.

[Kurtnoise]

http://www.mediafire.com/?kmjjzmomw2q

[JarrettH]

This may be a little broad to say so, but I don't think we need 40-50 audio presets. It's an extremely confusing list. Forgive my ignorance, but who is using anything besides Nero or LAME to encode audio for a video file? AC3 can just be used straight from the DVD rip, Vorbis is a nice alternative but not needed really, Winamp AAC not sure why when most people believe Nero to be the best AAC encoder. Just my thoughts. I've never encountered the situation where I would want to use any of the other options.

[Kurtnoise]

you're not forced to download all presets...;)

[COOLBGT]

Not sure why but after the last update 0.3.1.1011 when encoding everything appears more yellowish. I haven't noticed such a weird issue before that. I guess there is some issue with the color corrections since when turned off the problem disappears.

[Kurtnoise]

the only thing that changed is the adding of "threads=0" for ColorMatrix(). So...:rolleyes:

[terminate]

I am not absolutely sure, but I have the feeling that since a couple of updates MeGUI, (using version 0.3.1.1011 at the moment), is always normalizing the Peaks, (e.g. to 100%), even if I have not checked the "Normalize Peaks to ..."-Checkbox in the audio configuration dialog.
This seems to happen with all audio profiles, (only tested with Nero AAC and lame .mp3 profiles). Can anybody confirm this behavior?

As I said, I am not absolutely sure but I do not remember that MeGUI did any changes to the volume, lets say, half a year ago.

[tebasuna51]

When there are a downmix (5.1 -> 2.0) a Normalize is added always. To avoid clips the downmatrix coeficients must sum 1.0 but this can cause low downmix volume and the Normalize pass is recommended.

The stereo presets have Downmix and Normalize activated.

[terminate]

When there are a downmix (5.1 -> 2.0) a Normalize is added always. ...

Yes it has something to do with the "Output Channels"-setting in the audio configuration dialog. To keep the original peak levels from a stereo source track in the encoded audio track it is not sufficient to just uncheck the "Normalize Peaks to ..."-Checkbox you also have to select "Keep Original Channels" in the "Output Channels"-Setting!

Suggestion: To avoid misunderstandings the "Normalize Peaks to ..."-Checkbox should always be checked and greyed out if the user have selected an "Output Channels"-Setting that is different from "Keep Original Channels".

Edit:
In the mp3-"configuration dialog" there is no "Keep Original Channels"-Option in the "Output Channels"-Setting, does this mean that there is no possibility to avoid peak normalizing when encoding stereo tracks to mp3?

[tebasuna51]

MeGUI try to be easy to configure and offer only the options more frequent. For user than need more control to transcode audio you can use BeHappy or, best, you can write your own avs. Both, MeGUI and BeHappy accept avs files to transcode.

If you put Downmix to stereo with a source stereo, yes the Normalize is applied.

Thank you for your answers! Nevertheless, personally I definitely would consider the possibility to convert "standard"-stereo tracks into aac or lame-mp3 tracks without any peak-normalization at all, as a very frequent required option. Simple example: If I wish to encode single songs from the same concert, even the "mostly harmless" peak normalization could disturb the dynamic differences/relations between the songs when played together in the same playlist afterwards.
I also agree with you, that MeGUI should be as easy to configure as possible, but I always had the impression that MeGUI is that one application that always tries to balance very well between the ease of use and still offering as much options as possible compared to other encoder GUIs.

I put my first question into the "MeGUI development"-Section, because I thought it would be a simple bug which somehow crept in between several updates of MeGUI, (didn't recognize until now, that there seems to be no simple setting to encode stereotracks to mp3 in MeGUI without peak normalization), but now that I see that this may be a general / feature request topic which may not belong into the "MeGUI development"-Section, its ok to stop the discussion in this place.

At least my wish: "I would like to be able to encode stereotracks in MeGUI to aac or lame-mp3 without peak normalization by using standard options in the audio configuration dialog".

[tebasuna51]

At least my wish: "I would like to be able to encode stereotracks in MeGUI to aac or lame-mp3 without peak normalization by using standard options in the audio configuration dialog".

You are right and I don't read your EDIT comment, sorry:
Edit:
In the mp3-"configuration dialog" there is no "Keep Original Channels"-Option in the "Output Channels"-Setting, does this mean that there is no possibility to avoid peak normalizing when encoding stereo tracks to mp3?
I was thinking the option was accesible.

Then I second your petition, the option "Keep Original Channels" must be a option also for stereo output.
Does make sense the Downmix for a stereo input.

[Kurtnoise]

done in rev 990...

@Sharktooth: an update (http://www.mediafire.com/?my4etzdzz2y) for LAME presets...

currently megui crashes without any error if i open an avs file with .dgv index. Really? MeGUI 0.3.0.2015 works fine for me. Make sure you start the CUVID server fresh before opening MeGUI (no stuck ones in the task list), and close the preview right away.

ok, maybe that was my mistake i opened megui 1st.

why close the preview right away..? just curious. :)

[Guest]

The CUVID server cannot support multiple simultaneous decodes, and the preview counts as a decode.

Is the Corrupt Memory error going to be fixed in the new build? A few more people I know claim to have this error. I am able to delay the error by clicking "OK" to a certain point only. On adding filters and previewing the script, the error keeps on popping on every click on the meGui interface. Hope this is fixed or a workaround is posted soon.

I'm tired to read nth time the same thing (seems that some people don't know that a search function exists...dangg) about the last x264 build error. So, to fix it, grab the last one (32 bits) from here (http://x264.nl/). That works...

[Sharktooth]

ill revert it back to rev1113.
however it works here.

[Sharktooth]

i uploaded a new x264 rev1114 build in the autoupdate server. please test if it works on 64bit OSes.

Im encoding with Megui x264 v1113 atm when it is done I will try the update. Thanks!

[jamos]

new update works fine with Vista 64 dual core. :thanks:

[needsoft]

The new version works fine at my vista64.

[QuadraQ]

I like to take my original source and output it to several different formats (1080p, 720p, 480p). Sometimes that involves using MeGUI to do some simple cuts. All the tools are there - I open the AVS Cutter window, and save the cuts to a file. However, when I create a new AVS file for the next format I want to process, there doesn't seem to be a way to load the cuts file again. Since it's the same video, just at a different target resolution, the cut points don't change and should be reusable (on large video it takes some time to find the right cut points). Am I missing something? Would this be difficult to add?

[Sharktooth]

this is the megui DEVELOPMENT thread...
for troubleshooting look here: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=105920
feature requests must be posted in the feature request tracker on the megui project page on sourceforge.

[QuadraQ]

Sorry, didn't realize you have a sourceforge homepage. I'll post the feature request there.

[Inspector.Gadget]

@MeGUI Developers - In light of this problem (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145262), does it make sense to have the AVS Script Creator use DirectShowSource by default for AVI input files?

[Kurtnoise]

nope...

[squid_80]

That's an ffdshow issue, not a directshowsource issue.

@ateeq : if you have some time, could you look at issues #2606513 & #2602264 This is the same thing (this concerns the one-click encoder). Yesterday, I digged it but unfortunately, one problem remains (fact is there are 2 issues - first one about null string for filename [easy to fix] & another one, completely unknown to me) and I've no idea why. Quite strange though...

#1 in #2606513 was due to #2. I couldn't find any multi-language DVD's (to use the IFOparser against) but submitted a change that should fix .Vobs read via MediaInfo. If I come accross a suitable DVD I'll confirm it works with IFOparser.

@kurtnoise: was there a reason to remove mod16 notice for x264?
i mean, it can cause problems with some avs scripts. so if the reason was 1920x1080 is not mod16 then an exception for 1080 would be enough.

[Kurtnoise]

@kurtnoise: was there a reason to remove mod16 notice for x264?

Re: OneClick: Filename characters change case - ID: 2699718 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&atid=798476&aid=2699718&group_id=156112)

@kurtnoise
Thanks for your response. I see you closed the bug in Tracker, so I wanted to ask the question here.

I see that changing the OneClick Project Name on the Advanced Settings tab does change the output filename accordingly, but I'm wondering why the user should be required to exert manual effort just to preserve the input filename in the output? It seems that should be the default.

Assuming you do want to format a filename with spaces instead of underscores, which I can see as desirable, why is it desirable to alter the case? Underscores are typically used where a space cannot be, so a change there makes sense, whereas there's no particular reason I know to alter the case. Is there a use case I don't see?


Obviously, a fix is easy. The question is whether there is a reason other users want the output/project case changed. Is there such a reason?

dunno...It's not me that coded this part in the past. iirc, that's been coded to change the path name from DVDs (i.e retrieve only the name)...

I know it's easy to change (btw, did you check the whole code ? maybe this function is used somewhere else) but some other people might prefer the current format.

Maybe, a checkbox to choose whether or not this format could be great in the One-Click Settings. What do you think ?

@devs: do you think it will be a good idea to include dgavcindex/dec in megui auto-update?

[Kurtnoise]

sure...no objection from me. :)

Note that like I'm lazy man, there is only one textbox for DGAVCindex/DGAVCindexNV path...might be one issue if you put both packages on the server.

[Sharktooth]

no. DGAVCindexNV is payware. i cant put it on the server.

[Kurtnoise]

the license is payware but not the package itself. It's freely available/downloadable from DG website.

anyway you better should ask directly to DG I think...

[Sharktooth]

i'll ask him. but i think we'll better include dgavcindex/dec by default. if anyone wants the NV version they'll pay the license and use that instead just by swapping the path in the megui settings.

[Kurtnoise]

ok...no problem for me. :)

[Kurtnoise]

I have to wonder why my encodes start OUT around 30-40fps encoding speeds for a good 2-3 minutes, and then gradually come down to a crawl @ 7fps?

[EuropeanMan]

of course I'm serious...

Could you PLEASE explain this...

even when I encode JUST 15 minute video portion with NO CREDITS on either side or anywhere in between....WHY does a dramatic drop of 75% in encoding speed happen?

[Kurtnoise]

it's because I put a daemon in the code to detect bad sources...
:stupid:

[EuropeanMan]

:stupid:

OK, SO I'M STUPID...are you happy? I'm trying to understand this.

What do YOU define as a bad source? Tell me?

What do YOU define as a GOOD SOURCE that won't GO through the 75% drop in encoding speeds? I'll even go BUY the damned source just to prove you wrong.

[Sharktooth]

could you please discuss your issue in another thread? it does not belong to this one.
megui has nothing to do with the encoding itself. it just passes the avs script to the encoder.
so, if you use the commandline encoder with your avs you will have the same results you get with megui.

That looks exactly like what it's trying to do, which it still does with my patch, it just doesn't change the case in the process.

I know it's easy to change (btw, did you check the whole code ? maybe this function is used somewhere else) but some other people might prefer the current format.
I did a 'Find All References' and a text search on the full solution - the only use is the one I want to change for the output name in the OneClick window.

I assume there are those that might prefer it as-is, but I'm not sure why changing everything to lower case is advantageous. As long as it still finds the correct parts from a DVD path, which it does, I would think retaining the correct case would either be desirable or inconsequential.

Maybe, a checkbox to choose whether or not this format could be great in the One-Click Settings. What do you think ?
That would work for me, it's a matter of whether it's important enough to add a specific setting to control it.

Can we ask the original author if it matters to them? Do you know who that is?

@Kurtnoise: i dont know how did you compile .1033... (MeGUI.core.util.IFOparser' does not contain a definition for 'getSubtitlesLanguage' G:\usr\projects\megui\megui\trunk\core\util\VideoUtil.cs 311 67 MeGUI)
maybe you missed to commit an updated IFOparser.cs file...

[Kurtnoise]

sorry...should be better now w/ the last revision.

[Buggle]

Hi guys,
Thank you for a great program! I hope this is the right place to write this, but I was hoping you could implement an extra option to the 'after completion, do this or that':

I often use the automatic shutdown option to let it close automatically when I am away from home.
However, I just keep forgetting to turn it back off, so that the next time I for instance do a little muxing while playing music and going about doing other things (like the dishes), the computer suddenly shuts down. This has happened multiple times, also during important or time consuming businesses like writing reports (thank god I'm an Ctrl-S junky) or doing subs OCR (which doesn't auto save).

For this reason it would be great to have a choice if the shutdown option should be for 'always', where the setting is remembered, or for 'only this instance', where the next time you start MeGUI, the automatic shutdown is not selected anymore. This could be implemented in the settings, where the option is now, or in the progress window to illustrate it is only for this session. Your preference is of course to be chosen.

I can confirm that there's no issues at all with Windows 7 RC (7100). Have been using MeGUI on it for five days, quite a lot, and it works fine.

If it's not too much trouble I'd like some clarifications about this bug i've reported:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=798476&aid=2798204&group_id=156112

I feel that maybe what I wrote was misunderstood and the bug was closed too soon.


My scenario is very simple. I have two avs scripts so I need to do two 2-pass video encodings and 2 mp3 encodings.

I've queued all jobs and then I've moved up the second audio job so that it goes right below the first audio job because I wanted to do both before the video, and then I thought that I could do both at the same time as my Q6600 should be capable of both at the same time.

So I've created a second worker, assigned the first audio job to the first worker (the default) and the second audio file to the second worker, left the video jobs unassigned and started the process.

Both encodings started at the same time but (and this is what I reported as possible bug) when the first worker finished it didn't close the window and just said "Finalizing encoding" or something like that.
As soon as the second audio job completed (on Worker 2), this first worker also closed its window.

At this point, I'm not 100% sure what happened but I think Worker 2 started to do the next job in the list (first pass of video) and Worker 1 (which waited for Worker 2 to finish before) started automatically the next video job, the second pass of the video, and this job failed with an Error.

This confused me, because I assumed as there are no Worker assignments for these jobs (the field was empty), only the default Worker (Worker 1) would handle them.

Since I reported this strange behavior, I managed to encode another set of two audio files and two pairs of video jobs by setting both audio files to Worker 1, first video pair on Worker 2, second video pair on Worker 1, and everything worked great.

@mariush: once you use workers you should assing jobs to workers. if you leave them unassigned, then results may be unpredictable.

[Sub-zero]

Hi

I suggest to add a processing speed limiter to the GUI. I think it can be very usuful.
and thanks for the great efforts made :)

[Keiyakusha]

Afaik there is "priority" thing. Why you need to limit the speed when CPU resources are free? Choose tesa then, it will be slower and even with a little bonus of quality ^_^

[Adub]

Can I suggest that anyone who posts feature requests, bugs, or whatever, in this thread that should be either in other threads or the tracker be struck or something? It's kind of annoyingly ridiculous how many people think that this thread is for every "bug" that they find.

[mariush]

@mariush: once you use workers you should assing jobs to workers. if you leave them unassigned, then results may be unpredictable.

Well that's an easy way to say "I'm too lazy to fix a bug".

The default MeGUI configuration has by default 1 worker, so rather then leaving each job unassigned why not just set each job to Worker 1 by default?
"Experienced" users who use more than 1 worker will then just move the jobs from one worker to another.

As I see it, it's simply a change that won't effect anyone but will solve the "unpredictable" results.

Right now, with two workers, it's not unpredictable, it's clear that if you have an audio job and two passes and you forget to set the workers, the second pass will always fail because Worker 1 will start the audio and probably will finish encoding before first pass is done by worker 2 and start working on second pass and fail.

It's very easy to forget to assign workers but if the software would set all jobs automatically to the default worker 1, when the queue is started user will notice there's only one job running, go to queue and set the two passes to worker 2 and start the second worker.

----

No matter how you view it, there's still another bug here.

Queue three mp3 encodings, a short one first, a second much longer mp3 encoding and a third of whatever size.
Assign the second mp3 encoding to Worker 2 and the first and third to Worker 1.
Now start encoding and you'll see Worker 1 finishing its mp3 encoding but instead of starting to encode the third mp3, it just waits until worker 2 finishes its job.

My guess is that instead of waiting until *his* lame.exe process finishes, it waits until both or the last running lame.exe process is finished, which is wrong.

[Sharktooth]

@mariush: this is the development thread, bug reports should be placed at the MeGUI project bug tracker on sourceforge.

[mariush]

The only reason I'm posting here is because the thread I posted on sourceforge was closed with the same type of short answers that are received here and I was basically ignored. It was actually closed by you, I think, based on the nickname. I don't see any way to re-open that thread, that's why I posted here.

The answer on Sourceforge was not ever related to what I wrote, or the one who answered misunderstood what I wrote and closed the message without even giving opportunity to reply or give more details (which sucks, don't see why the rush to close all tickets - it's not like it's a competition to have the project with the least open bugs on Sourceforge or something).

[Sharktooth]

you can reopen it by posting in that thread. if you cant i'll reopen it.

[Sub-zero]

Afaik there is "priority" thing. Why you need to limit the speed when CPU resources are free? Choose tesa then, it will be slower and even with a little bonus of quality ^_^
yep, i know. and it is really helpful. But the goal is to let the CPU dont get 100% of clock speed busy for long times since some old processors (like my Pentium 2800MHz) cannot endure for long timed encodings ^^"

and i think this feature (speed limiter) has many advantages like increasing utilization .

e.g. : i tried to encode an anime episode (SD) in megui with automated 2-pass several times , each time the computer restarts (cpu heat). I finally gave up and was forced to encode with x264vfw in VirtualDub with setting the speed limiter to half . It took longer time.. but actually did the job. and by this way, the CPU can stay much cooler and not get overheated. right?

i dont want to use VFW anymore T-T


i hope that i made my point clear. Because i'm not native English talker ^^"

[nurbs]

If your processor, no matter how old it is, overheats while encoding then either your cooler is insuficient or not properly installed. The CPU can run at the speed it was designed for under full load as long as you want if everything is correctly installed and there are no defects.

Ah, thanks :). That solves the autoload problem, but MeGUI informs me that the DGx deinterlacer is incompatible with the DGM input file - I can edit in the last tab to add the option and the preview shows it working, though. Also, opening a DGM file in the AVS Script Creator with the CUVID server already running crashes MeGUI. MeGUI is definitely well on its way to handling files from the NV tools - thank you, developers, for all your hard work in bringing us this great program.

I will plan to give all three index types a more thorough test tomorrow morning with this new build.

[Kurtnoise]

I've received a PM from XhmikosR. I post his message here coz I couldn't commit anything for the next 2 months from now...

I modified the bat files which are used to build MeGUI in order to build also the installer IF NSIS is installed. I also made the output to show in the same cmd window and made the output of msbuild a little more minimal (errors and warnings still show of course).

If you want you can adapt some of my changes.

You can download the bat files here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywqqyoinbjg/megui_bat.zip).

I'd prefer also using ECHO OFF since the errors in the bat files still would show up, but that's up to you to decide.

PS. Update your NSIS to the latest version if you haven't done it already since it has many fixes for Win7.

Personally, I don't care because I don't use this to compile megui...

[komisar]

I have a question about the auto-update in MeGUI.
I work in a system with limited rights.
But I have the right to write to the directory containing the program and AVISynth plug-ins. After Ctrl+U I get this:

http://komisar.gin.by/img/trash/megui_err1.jpg

What is the "...directory Source..."?
For any additional directories are needed right of write?

[Sharktooth]

the error message is "Can't create directory"
then it continues with "Source of exception: ..."
blame M$ for those criptic .net error messages.
megui, however, needs administrator rights to work.

[komisar]

2developers, how about add in public static DirectoryInfo ensureDirectoryExists(string p) from core/util/FileUtil.cs something like
IOException("Can't create directory: "+p);

megui, however, needs administrator rights to work.
This is a bad idea... :-/

[Sharktooth]

i'll add the exception handling in the weekend.
i know admin rights is somewhat annoying expecially with vista and newer M$ OSes but still it will solve a lot of problems accessing files.

[komisar]

This is not an option to use administrative rights to the work with program (for installing -- maybe, but not for work).
And also... In "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\www.doom9.net\" megui store user-settings, but after update version current settings not migrate. And in this directory appear new and new (e.g. 0.3.1.1035, 0.3.1.1037, 0.3.1.1039), but settings not migrate...

[Kurtnoise]

This is not an option to use administrative rights to the work with program (for installing -- maybe, but not for work)...
give me a *good* reason why it's bad ?

you should install it directly in a folder where you have all permits...that's all.

[komisar]

Kurtnoise, why I need to switch administrative right for update Megui if "you should install it directly in a folder where you have all permits...that's all."???

[Kurtnoise]

depends where you have installed megui and/or where is located your update_cache folder...

[komisar]

Kurtnoise, megui (with update_cache) installed in folder where i have full access. plus i have full access to avisynth-plugin folder.

P.S. Why megui need access to "%windir%\Debug\UserMode\ChkAcc.log"? AccessDenided occur...
I suspect that this happens when the program was installed by another user (with another credentials)

[Kurtnoise]

define "full access" ??? How did you install megui ?? what did you try to do ? anyway, it's off-topic here.

btw, I don't understand your second question.

should i understand that autoencoding to raw (.264) and muxing with audio to .mkv is OK but autoencoding to raw (.264) and muxing with audio to .mp4 is not? why did you add "force QT compatibility" when was not needed?
_

[Kurtnoise]

no, it's because some users have reported some muxing issues with the previous code (i.e force muxing with .h264 extension for you know what...). Now, to run the same way as you want, you have to check the appropriate case.

Hi,

can i request here please if you Dev guys don't mind... is it possible to have a lossless profile for XVid?

there is one for X264 but importing the .mp4/mkv using directshowsource() always had issues with me.

OR if you can guide me how to make one even that will help me. [check/uncheck options in xvid scratchpad]

Thanks,
Avinash

[nurbs]

XviD and Mpeg4-ASP codecs in general don't support lossless encoding.
Your post sounds like you are trying to do something specific with the encode, so if you describe what it is maybe somebody can give you an advice.

[mavinashbabu]

Thanks for the reply.

I have got a bunch of DVD9's which i want to encode to DVD5 using HC. For what ever reasons how hard i struggle i cannot keep HC encode use more than 1 processor [ i have quad Q6600 ]
. Hence i tried to do it via x264 lossless and imported it using directshowsource() in a separate .avs file, but result was i got a half black screen on right side of screen and half movie on left side, can't provide a screenshot as i had deleted files.

Now actual point of my post above, i was happily achieving 90% CPU utilization with 4 processors running in a x264 lossless profile.

Resultant .MP4/MKV files absolutely does not have any issues at all.

Hope i am clear.

Thanks.

[nurbs]

x264 has a very efficient threading method, I guess it's more efficient than the method HCenc uses, so you might see speed loss there. Why don't you just ask in the Mpeg2 subforum for some help with your setup. You could also try running several encodes at the same time.

tnx... update in progress.

edit: the trunk version of megui is also ready for the new x264 defaults and options. ill make a new build as soon as some x264 rev1178+ builds with nal-hrd patch are made.

edit: the trunk version of megui is also ready for the new x264 defaults and options. ill make a new build as soon as some x264 rev1178+ builds with nal-hrd patch are made.Won't it require some significant modifications to allow users to use presets and tunings, because all other settings set by MeGUI will override the preset/tuning?

[Sharktooth]

the actual trunk version doesnt support presets and tunings. just changes in the commandline options and defaults to ensure compatibility with newer x264 versions.
presets and tunings support will come shortly.

[Dark Shikari]

On that note, will we be able to completely dump all of the speed-related MeGUI presets?

It seems that with these changes, the only thing needed is device-related restrictions and bitrate-related options, since users can select the speed/quality tradeoff rather easily.

[Sharktooth]

exactly.

Bug #2819292 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2819292&group_id=156112&atid=798476)

OneClick's automatically-created chapter files suffer from progressive desynchronization when encoding NTSC DVDs (I haven't tested PAL.) At then end of a one-hour encoded MKV, the chapter marks will be early by three or four seconds.

This is an old problem I've had with ChapterGrabber, which can be solved (in the ChapterGrabber GUI) by a) loading NTSC disc, b) Change current FPS to 30.000, and finally c) Convert Chapter Times by FPS to 29.970.

As a quick and dirty fix to get proper chapter times, I did this:

There must be a better way (and one that also addresses other input FPS values), but I don't fully understand the GetStreams() code in class IfoExtractor.

[Sharktooth]

uhm... i cant accept that patch but if you come up with a better (and global) solution i will be glad to commit it.

@all: some megui presets (all baseline presets) are broken due to the 3 b-frames as new x264 default. i will patch the relevant code in megui soon to fix the problem. also since x264 has a new --profile switch and automatic fast first pass (unless disabled with a switch) some other changes are needed... i will make those changes as well until i finish the new x264 configuration form and changes required to x264 command line generation.

It doesn't make sense to leave out in the wild a known-broken system when you can easily fix it.

[Sharktooth]

coz i will probably fix it tomorrow... ;)
also rolling back to an older version of x264 will require an older version of megui due to the new x264 options already implemented.

EDIT: read the next post...

[Sharktooth]

b-frames patch commited and new version rolled out... will cost you a beer ;)
fast 1st pass and --profile support is coming tomorrow. however, that is not mandatory since x264 will do a "best guess" detection for profile and will automatically do a fast first pass unless specified... so everything will work even without that support...

0.3.1.1048
- (sharktooth) [x264] Fixed b-frames controls behavior and commandline generation to respect the new x264 b-frames default value. Should also fix the baseline profile encoding.

... so where's my beer? :p

[Sharktooth]

0.3.1.1049
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Additional checks to ensure proper options values are passed to the commandline generator.
- (sharktooth) [x264] Fixed x264 --subme & --ref commandline options generation due to the new x264 defaults.

[Sharktooth]

0.3.1.1050
- (sharktooth) [x264] Added --profile support with a slight difference with x264 defaults. Autoguess means no --profile option will be specified. High/Main/Baseline will set the --profile option accordingly.
- (sharktooth) [x264] Set CRF 23 as default encoding mode.
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Trellis is now enabled by default as well...
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] More fixes...
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Additional checks and fixes for h.264 Profiles restrictions.
All major bugs in x264 configuration and commandline generation should be fixed by now even if some options will still be redundant...

thanks...

Sharktooth, ContextHelp.xml file needs to be updated to reflect the last x264 changes. Do you (or any volunteers ??!! quite easy to do as task) have the time to look at this today ? If not, I should have some free time tonight to check this & fix the lossless issue.

Frankly, I don't understand your hack...w/ a NTSC DVD as source and the current code, pgc.FramePerSecond returns 29,97002997003 (that's the result of 30D / 1.001D). How this value can create a drift of 3/4s after one-hour ?

When I set B-frames to zero in the Xvid configuration dialog, the checkbox "Use VHQ for B-frames" automatically disabled and become unchecked, even it was checked. But when i set B-frames to some numbers, this checkbox enabled with NO check. Think it would be better, to disable this checkbox with check, if it was checked, to correctly restore it's state.

If you don't want to wait any longer, go to the settings -> Extra Config -> Configure Servers and then select development branch, remove all links and add mine : http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/

After that close & restart megui...:)

Thank for the reply.

by default, "--preset fast" will be load. Is there anyway for me to customize my encoding without any interfere from the preset? I can see that Medium option have no "--preset" switch but does it let me customize my encoding setting? Please advise.



My settings until x264 version 1170+ was:

program --pass 2 --bitrate 500 --stats ".stats" --ref 6 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --direct auto --subme 9 --trellis 2 --partitions all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 2500 --me umh --merange 24 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"

Any Idea how can I get this setting without any interference from any preset? Of course I will use MBtree and "--subme 10" but I would like to keep my old setting for the rest of the encoding option. Please advice.

I don't see this behavior with the version 0.3.1.1051. Are you sure you have really set the number of ref frames to 3 ?

[x10amin]

Well, is 1053.Futher more if I set the output container to MP4,the encode will fail but RAWAVC works.
Just realize this is a development thread but I guess is okay to post here.

[nurbs]

What x264 build do you use? Are you sure it has been compiled with mp4 output enabled? If you type "x264 --help" in a command line window it will tell you the version number and if mp4 support is enabled as part of the first couple of lines it outputs.

BTW that looks like the first pass of a two pass encode and it's normal that settings aren't the same as you specify for the second pass unless you explicitly tell the encoder to use the same settings, although you shouldn't have a video file and refs should be reduced to 1 in that case.

[x10amin]

You mean this?I get all required files from auto update features in MeGUI
x264 core:70 r1206M 9a54c48
Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight]

Infile can be raw YUV 4:2:0 (in which case resolution is required),
or YUV4MPEG 4:2:0 (*.y4m),
or AVI or Avisynth if compiled with AVIS support (yes).
Outfile type is selected by filename:
.264 -> Raw bytestream
.mkv -> Matroska
.mp4 -> MP4 if compiled with GPAC support (yes)

Win7 has already been released on MSDN/TechNet ...

[Doom9]

Good thing I do have a sense of humor ;) I've previously outed myself as having access to MSDN. Furthermore, I didn't say RTM or RC.. you can still download the RC. And playing devil's advocate... since Win2000 it's not about the software anymore, it's about your key. Microsoft doesn't really care if you download something off P2P as long as you have your own legal key for it. It's just when you start playing around with activators or BIOS mods along with leaked OEM keys that you're going to have a problem.

[Yoshiyuki Blade]

I have very little knowledge on the 64-bit side of encoding, so I'm interested in this as well. I've never tried it myself but I've looked around for the things needed for it. For AVISynth, you can get a 64-bit build and compatable filters on squid_80's site (http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/). http://x264.nl/ stays up to date with the 32 and 64 bit builds of x264. I hear MeGUI has a 64-bit mode, but I don't know the specifics of that. I might just put it all together and see if it works :D

Do keep us updated on your quest. I also interested in using 64 bit version of x264 (on 64 bit MeGUI) if it is reliable and not too hard to setup.

:thanks:

[JEEB]

Basically for 64bit encoding you can either go through the "not so many filters and maybe slower"'ish AVS64 and 64bit x264 route (that Yoshiyuki Blade mentioned), or the route with the same 32bit AVS, avs2yuv, some piping and 64bit x264.

Both should work and currently the 32bit AVS does have a bigger selection of filters.

[Dark Eiri]

I think the best approach, at least for the time being, would be inserting avs2yuv in the MeGUI chain, if a x64 OS is detected, like Ripbot264 does. For the full featured x64 chain, it would need several plugins that don't support 64 bits yet, so it would be kinda crippled, right?

You make a lot of sacrifices in convenience and choices when switching entirely over to 64-bit. I managed to get a test encode running via commandline, but I've had some issues getting MeGUI to properly handle it. I might just do what JEEB said and do some piping... whatever that means :D.

On .1053, when I check the "Turbo" on x264 config, I'm limited to 1 ref-frame. Why is that?

[buzzqw]

because is TURBO ?
if you don't wanto to use turbo .. don't check it

also.. on newer x264 revision the first pass is now ALWAYS Turbo , unless requested as slow-first-pass

BHH

[Dark Shikari]

because is TURBO ?
if you don't wanto to use turbo .. don't check it"Turbo", as defined by what x264 does by default with --pass 1, is not a reasonable speed/quality tradeoff for anything except the first pass of a two-pass encode, so it should only be available for expressly that purpose.

[CpT]

Ok, I've searched for the better part of 2 days and can't find up-to-date info reguarding the One Click encoder and file types.
Is there any way to mod the allowable file types for the input of the one click encoder? eg .mov's.
I do a ton of 100mb source encodes. Thus far I'm getting amazing results with MeGui, like really amazing! :thanks:

But having to set the output Width every time via the script creator "Resize" is really annoying. Yes I'm lazy, but I'm usually doing the convert's while doing a million other things "working".

I see there's a really slick option in the one click setup for Output Resolution Width in the one click encoder setup/conf and would love to be able to use it with .mov sources.

Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated! Luv the App guys!:thanks:

[Dark Eiri]

BHH

Guess you didn't get it.

If I uncheck Turbo, it adds "--slow-first-pass" to the CLI. If I check it, it removes --slow-first-pass, but adds --ref 1. Before .1053, checking turbo would keep me with the ref quantity I wanted (--ref 3, which is now the default, so it shouldn't add anything to the CLI), and still would do a fast first pass. That's the issue. I want to use turbo only as the first pass, which is how MeGUI used to do it before.

[Underground78]

When --slow-firstpass is not used ref is always --ref 1 :

814 /* Set faster options in case of turbo firstpass. */
815 if( b_turbo && b_pass1 )
816 {
817 param->i_frame_reference = 1;
818 param->analyse.b_transform_8x8 = 0;
819 param->analyse.inter = 0;
820 param->analyse.i_me_method = X264_ME_DIA;
821 param->analyse.i_subpel_refine = X264_MIN( 2, param->analyse.i_subpel_refine );
822 param->analyse.i_trellis = 0;
823 }

so I'm not sure it's a real issue ...

[pitc]

where can i get the latest version of megui??

[Dark Eiri]

When --slow-firstpass is not used ref is always --ref 1 :

814 /* Set faster options in case of turbo firstpass. */
815 if( b_turbo && b_pass1 )
816 {
817 param->i_frame_reference = 1;
818 param->analyse.b_transform_8x8 = 0;
819 param->analyse.inter = 0;
820 param->analyse.i_me_method = X264_ME_DIA;
821 param->analyse.i_subpel_refine = X264_MIN( 2, param->analyse.i_subpel_refine );
822 param->analyse.i_trellis = 0;
823 }

so I'm not sure it's a real issue ...

On the second pass too? I can understand why it would decrease to 1 on the first pass, but should it limit it to 1 on the final pass too?

[Underground78]

but should it limit it to 1 on the final pass too?

If it does then it's a bug.

[Dark Eiri]

It's been doing it in all of the 2pass presets. They use the "Automated 2 pass" setting. So when Turbo is checked, I can't set the 2nd pass settings by myself. It locks the ref-frame setting and others. If I uncheck the Turbo, I can customize every single setting, but --slow-firstpass is added. The correct behaviour, or at least what MeGUI used to do, would be using the Turbo settings for the 1st pass and the settings I specified for the second pass.

Ah so it wasn't me, I noticed this as well. If I check "Turbo" in a profile I can't change values like # of Ref Frames, Trellis, Partitions, ME Algorithm anymore (greyed out to Hexagon, Subp Refinement 2, like the first pass), so the 2nd pass is set to these values as well now.

[CpT]

It's been doing it in all of the 2pass presets. They use the "Automated 2 pass" setting

That explains a lot. Thanks... Couldn't for the life of me figure out why I was getting decent fps during the 2nd pass.:rolleyes:

[Raere]

It looks like when you select 'automated 2-pass' and turbo, the x264 config window sets itself as if you have selected '2-pass first pass'. The old behavior was that with turbo, the first pass would be set up already behind the scenes, and you were only changing the settings for the second pass. Right now it grays out certain options because it thinks you don't need to change them for a turbo first pass. It looks like it's a bug, and the window needs to go back to its old behavior of only setting up for the second pass. You can do both passes manually (2-pass first pass, 2-pass second pass) as two separate jobs to get around this. Or, you can downgrade back to .1052, which is still on the Sourceforge page. I haven't looked at the code, but it looks like that's where the problem lies.

[hajj_3]

is a 64bit megui being developed at the moment or not? It might help speed up a 64bit avisynth being created then all we would need would be 64bit filters.

Megui bugreport (version 1053).
There is a bug in Video preview window at AVS script creator:
1. Press '+' to zoom preview to 2x
2. Press 1x to return preview to normal size.
3. Now if I press again + it scales to 3x, nor 2x! Now if I press 1x and '+' again it zoom to 4x! Seems like button 1x does not reset zoom variable.

This might seem like an extraneous request but would it be possible to get the font in the status window darker? There are many times when I have difficulty reading it. Like I said it might seem extraneous but even people peeping at my pc while it's encoding have had difficulty seeing the time remaining and such. This is but a small request and I understand if other things are given priority, especially since you're doing this stuff for free.

I guess it says something about your work when requests are fixing small errors in zooming and being asked for a darker font in a specific window;)

It uses WinAPI standard controls/values used by thousands of applications, the problem is your LCD or your configuration. RipBot264 has serious issues regarding unreadable stuff, maybe it assumes a large resolution which I don't have.

[Jawed]

MeGUI uses standard controls in a non-standard way.

Windows has a concept of "make a control hard to read to indicate to the user that this information is irrelevant". This is being misused in this case, because the information being shown is highly relevant.

I'm not sure about this, in the latest StaxRip beta I use readonly text boxes as well as cue hints in text controls often and it's not hard to read on my 1024x768 Samsung analog monitor. What about VirtualDub and DGIndex, don't they also use readonly text boxes in the status display?

I assume that everybody has good well calibrated MAT lcd monitor. I don't care about rest.

That's exactly what I assumed because RipBot264 targets HD users mostly which are likely to have a good LCD. Not that I'm concerned but would it be such a problem to support older/cheaper hardware?

Greyed-out text, deliberately defined by Microsoft to indicate that the text is not meant to be read, should never ever ever be used by an application for text that is meant to be read.

It's irrelevant how readable any developer thinks it is, the UI specifically reserves greyed-out text for text that is not meant to be read.

blame constructor then instead of any developer...

[stax76]

It seems MeGUI don't use just readonly text boxes since readonly text boxes have black and not grey text, I'm confused.

edit (overlap): maybe it's grey because of the flatstyle used?

[Jawed]

As I already explained before, that's because you are using the wrong kind of control. You should be using a label.

A text box is a kind of control used for entering data. A label is a kind of control for showing data. A label can never be edited by the user.

That's why, by default, a text box is accompanied automatically by a label control (when added to a form), which the developer uses to put a description of the function of the text box. The text in this label can not be edited by the user, so does not need locking, and is therefore highly readable.

yes it does...but this is dependant of the OS used. In the case of Progress Window, the textboxes are disabled (so...grey-out) but are readable.

[stax76]

Ah, it's disabled, I agree then text should be black like in VirtualDub, DGIndex, StaxRip etc.

[Kurtnoise]

better ?

[Betsy25]

Actually, I agree. In the end, they are used as status indicators, which purpose are to be kept visible. You can think about any kind of status indicators, the most known perhaps the installation progress windows of the main windows installers, they aren't greyed, because the user wants the see the progress at any time it is running, so for me, these should not be greyed out, after all the MeGui status windows do run for hours and hours and especially then, users are interested in taking a keep once in a while how far the process is.

So my conclusion : Better readability, the first shot is better, regarding the Time indicators, these are (for most) the most important parts, so bolding them wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[stax76]

@Kurtnoise

Read only text boxes allow focus, text selection etc., I think it's OK but not perfect. Better would be using a label and apply border style using WinAPI overriding CreateParams or using ControlPaint class to paint a border. Maybe there are easier solutions.

[Kurtnoise]

I decided to stick as "Vdub" style (like 1st picture) for the moment...

[stax76]

If you want to prevent focus/selection a easy solution is using labels and drawing a border:


Private Sub TestForm_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
For Each i In New Label() {Label1, Label2}
Dim r = i.Bounds
r.Inflate(1, 1)
ControlPaint.DrawBorder3D(e.Graphics, r)
Next
End Sub


Another way:


Public Class StatusLabel
Inherits Label

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim ret = MyBase.CreateParams
ret.ExStyle = ret.ExStyle Or Native.WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
Return ret
End Get
End Property
End Class

Public Class Native
Public Const WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE As Integer = &H200
End Class

[Kurtnoise]

Thanks...anyway, I think to switch to WPF asap to have a better UI.

[stax76]

Are you sure you want to convert a complex form like your x264 form or mix WPF and WinForms in the same application? I've done some mixing too but only a small piece. I had a WinForms custom control with 350 lines code and replaced it with a WPF version achieving the same thing with only 50 lines code so I have smaller code and a little fun learning WPF. I'm looking forward to use WPF in the player I'm building.

[Kurtnoise]

Honestly I don't know...I've some random ideas but I'm not sure that it's doable or not. If I jump to WPF and succeed, x264 form will change probably...In fact, all forms must be changed. :D

¿Bug in 0.3.1.1055?

CABAC toggle dont work?

[Kurtnoise]

fixed...redownload or force to reinstall it.

[hajj_3]

got a bug with latest megui, i get the following when closing megui after i manually replaced x264.exe v1235 32bit with x264.exe v1146 32bit:

http://i28.tinypic.com/r8h0mb.jpg

also in "update" it shows the version as v1135 still instead of reading the x264.exe to see what build it is. Hopefully you can fix these 2 bugs shortly, many thanks:)

[stax76]

It's bad practice to show a stack trace to the user, it's bad practice to save to a system directory and it's bad practice to require elevated privileges in order to be able doing so.

[Kurtnoise]

this is not the right place to report this...

got a bug with latest megui,
which is ?


also in "update" it shows the version as v1135 still instead of reading the x264.exe to see what build it is.
what ? no, nothing is parsed to retrieve the version #.

[hajj_3]

0.3.1.1055 is the version of megui i am using.

http://i26.tinypic.com/2zo8z0z.jpg

as you can see in the above screenshot it says that i have x264 v1135 installed but i actually have v1146 as i manually over-wrote the x264.exe in program files\megui\tools\x264. It should report the actual version i'm using.

[Kurtnoise]

this version # is read from the upgrade.xml on the server...whatever you do.

Why use textboxes instead of labels?

[stax76]

Because labels don't have a border unless you draw one or apply a style using pinvoke.

[morphinapg]

Because labels don't have a border unless you draw one or apply a style using pinvoke.

label.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;

That's what I use in ASXGui

[stax76]

I didn't notice it's that simple, last time I only saw and tested the FlatStyle property and didn't notice the BorderStyle property. Sometime the easiest things are hard to see.

Is MeGUI dead? Just curious.

Look here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151159) for a temporary thread until MeGUI is maintained fully again.

[Octo-puss]

What happened btw? I haven't been here for 3 months or something.

I guess the guys working on it are just busy at the moment. If they have time to work on it, they'll probably be back again.

I want to find source MeGUI 2153 but on CVS and SVN, I see developing MeGUI version
Where can I find them ?

[Kurtnoise]

Why do you need revision 2153 ? You can easily grab this using svn tool, specifying your revision #.

Zathor has migrated the megui project. You can find the new url here (https://sourceforge.net/p/megui/code/2272/tree/).

[MaterSystem]

I want to find the version, not add One Click Folder
I see the core 2153 run pretty good
But core 2237 is not very good

2. Structure inappropriate folder Protable AviSynth

+ Move DirectShowSource.dll (MT.dll) on directory avisynth_plugin, the file (dll, avs) without LoadPlugin (), Import ()
when creating Script by AVS Script Creator
3. One Click folders but files with multiple audio tracks
4. if possible refer source code AvsPmod, the IDE integrated into MeGUI\AVS Script Creator\Tab Script
5. AviSynth Template
replace <input>, Clip properties by every <clip>, <fps>, ...to facilitate the mold load and processing clip

[Kurtnoise]

I don't understand all what you want to do but I can provide you sources from rev 2153 if you want...

[MaterSystem]

I don't understand all what you want to do but I can provide you sources from rev 2153 if you want...Thank you
I need the source code MeGUI 2153 to slightly modify to suit video coding

- I can edit upgrade.xml file, the file in folder update_cache to change the directory structure appropriate tools for the integration of Protable AviSynth, had AviSynth integrated and so the script LoadPlugin in avisynth_plugin folder no longer needed anymore

- Try integrated IDE of AvsPmod to Tab Script of the AVS Script Creator, Tab Script will likely remind Script

- Edit to AviSynth Template: add a number of variables
<clip> video input path
<sub> sub path

- clip => AVS Script Creator => clip.avs
clip.avs => KillAudio() => encode Video
clip.avs => KillVideo() => encode Audio

I do not have high-level programming, did not attend a training program programmer. I learn the programming language via the internet. It was his idea.

[Kurtnoise]

Well...you know that AvsPmod is written in Python whereas MeGUI is in C# ?

Feel free to modify it to suit yourself. You can checkout any svn # you want - code is located here: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/megui/code

I am sorry but your English is very hard to understand. Can you please explain in detail what is wrong with 2237 for you, if possible I would like to change it for everyone else as well - especially 1, 2 + 3.

[MaterSystem]

I'm not good at english. Should I use the help of google translate.

I know how to get the source code MeGUI 2153 with TortoiseSVN

1. AviSynth
- As I understand it, AviSynth as a compiler code in the AVS file
- If your computer has not installed AviSynth, MeGUI 2237 to create jobs related to the AVS file encryption, will notice almost no support AVS file, this error seems related to the sign extension

2. AviSynth Plugin
- In the register key "Plugindir2_5" this is the key to register the plugin directory path, the plugin (.dll), the new function definition (.avs) means in this directory will automatically load, import
- DirectShowSource.dll, MT.dll is AviSynth Plugin

3. One Click Folder
- Should do the same interface MKVToolnix
- List of video file will show all tracks
+ Track video: color gray, no box marked
+ Track audio, subtitles, chapter: color ... , with the box marked
- Not encode, mux any track off of tracks that
