0.2.5.1006
Commit by berrinam:
- Applied chiklit8963's patch for 1696276 (Ask whether to overwrite file if already exists)

0.2.5.1007
Commit by berrinam:
- Fixed some profile behaviour bugs in OneClick window
- Added a help button to all the windows, which links to the relevant page on http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/Main_Page

[bob0r]

Please update x264 to revision 663, this x264 revision fixes some blocking issue with certain h.264 decoders.

megui 0.2.5.1007 is on http://x264.nl

0.2.4.1043
Commit by berrinam:
- Add support for AVI-Mux GUI muxing
It's not in AutoUpdate, because putting it there would crash current MeGUIs. I've fixed that bug in 0.2.3.1043; I'm going to wait about a week for people to update to 1043 before putting AVI-Mux GUI on AutoUpdate. In the meantime, you can get it from http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

is it working in vista?

[Adub]

You Rule Berrinam! Keep up the good work. Thank you very much!

I'm not entirely sure why a port is necessary, given that MeGUI still needs a lot more work to run on Linux anyway...

I got it all up and running, but there are a fair few rendering issues in Mono which are (i think) currently being worked on. So at the moment it doesn't look particularly pretty, but does run.

The port was mostly to see how it ran under mono, so i could report bugs and suchlike to the mono team (i'm currently interning at novell and working on mono ;) ). So hopefully when avisynth does get finished everything will render beautifully.

little 'bug' (since latest versions) in Automatic Encoding -> Size and Bitrate:

When entering an average bitrate, filesize is calculated, but not the other way around. :(
Iirc in older versions one could entering a file size and the resulting average bitrate was calculated and shown. ;)

Cu Selur

Ps.: didn't post this in the tracker since I'm not totally sure if it really was possible in older versions and this is a bug or if it wasn't and it's a feature request. ;)

0.2.6.1001
Commit by berrinam:
- Parallel job execution. See http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI:Parallel_job_execution for details.

[SkilledAbbot]

Mr. Berrinam,
Is the Job Worker Feature only applicable to multi-cored PCs?


0.2.6.1001

[berrinam]

Well, you'll only get speed gains on multi-core (and for the video encoders, only small gains). But the ability to run jobs now, without waiting for other jobs to finish is available to all PCs

[SkilledAbbot]

I see. Thank you. I went back to 0.2.5.1007 though . . . for now.
Here's a little something I saw, some of the help buttons throw a fatal error, but the meguiwiki still opens up fine.

[seggitek]

I hope this is the right place to post this. I noticed that I can't rename the video output file in MeGUI. Regardless what filename I enter the output video is always rendered to the file suggestes by MeGUI by default.

Example:

I load my file called nighty_frags.avs

MeGUI inserts nighty_frags.mp4 into the output filename textbox

I change this to nighty_frags_aqstrength05.mp4 but in the queue there is always nighty_frags.mp4 as output filename and the video is also rendered to that file.

I'm using MeGUI 0.2.5.1007

[~bT~]

^ just change the name of the .avs file to whatever filename you want instead.

Just curious if it would be possible to support the Logitech G15 keyboard's LCD screen in Megui? Im often times using my monitor for other tasks while encoding, and it would be great to have it display the percentage, time left etc on the LCD screen. Has anyone thought of this?

[anybody]

With 0.2.6.1001, in the AviSynth script generator,
i always get a
ColorMatrix(hints=true,interlaced=true)
for progressive sources.

This happens when "Deinterlace: Do nothing" is selected, which is the default after analyzing a progressive source... I have to manually uncheck the Deinterlace checkbox to get rid of the interlaced=true option.

Other than that, i'm pretty happy with the new 2.6.1001 version, the new worker thing is cool and seems to work fine for me :-)

[check]

This thread is not for support, or for reporting bugs, or for suggesting features. This is for megui coding work!

A patch has been made available here to fix mp4box muxing: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1026270#post1026270

[chros]

I have invastigated the calculator, and I don't understand the given DVD sizes. eg:
- if a 1 DVD: 4586496 ,
- how come a 1/4 DVD : 1126400 (*4: only 4505600; which is 80896 minus KB or 79 MB minus)

Is this for the file-overhead of the DVD structure? But 79 MB ?

And is this DVD size for DVD+5 discs?

Thanks

[Sharktooth]

ask doom9. IIRC it was him to code the bitrate calc.

[Kurtnoise]

Can we discuss freely the future meGUI development here or should I use my SF account ?

I played with the code during few days last week and I changed several things (mostly redesign and fixed some bugs).

I need to play again with the sources though...:D C# is quite new for me.

I plan to add Aften encoder and redesign some other parts...

[Sharktooth]

we can discuss here, but if you have feature requests it's better you post them into the appropriate place.
however if you're interested in megui development i can add you to the project devs and give you svn write access since i sincerely have almost no time to contribute to megui dev at least for the near future.

[Kurtnoise]

My free time is also limited. :)

For the moment, I haven't features requests. Aften encoder was already mentioned by someone else in the tracker.

The only thing I would like to have, it's some feedback about redesign. If it's ok to speak about that here, I'll post some shoots soon (better to have pictures than code concerning design, isnt it ?)...Let me just finish to play with the sources. I'll be in vacation the next week.

btw, thanks for the offer about svn write access. :)

[chros]

ask doom9. IIRC it was him to code the bitrate calc.
Thanks Sharktooth, I think it's a little bug, so I'll post it in the proper topic ...

EDIT: I can't post in the proper topic: it's closed ... :)
So where should I post it?

@Kurt.: It would be nice to see Aften in megui ...
Thanks

[berrinam]

I don't have much to say right now, just encouraging Kurtnoise with contribution to MeGUI, and I'm happy if you want to redesign. I'll read what you post, but probably won't code much.

[chickenmonger]

Thanks Sharktooth, I think it's a little bug, so I'll post it in the proper topic ...

EDIT: I can't post in the proper topic: it's closed ... :)

@Kurt.: It would be nice to see Aften in megui ...
Thanks

I'd say the bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798476) on SF.

[Bigmango]

I'd say the bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798476) on SF.

Are you sure ? The tracker doesn't seem to be used.

I see bugs listed there since 2006 and none of them has been assigned to anyone.

It rather looks like a good black hole to drop the bugs so they won't get lost until some kind soul resurects the project. :)

[Sharktooth]

devs read it, so post it there.

[berrinam]

I never really assign to anyone, but I do fix a lot of bugs there, and I do appreciate people using that, as it's the easiest way to keep track. If you want evidence that it gets used, why not look at the list of 52 closed bugs?

[Kurtnoise]

Yes, it's a great feature...:) All users should use it to summit bugs.

Speaking of bugs, I've uploaded some patches here (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/) to fix them :

# 1758807
# 1767122
# 1772571
# 1785319

@devs : Feel free to submit them. Some other might follow...Otherwise, if you haven't time I'm ok to have the write access. (my login in SF is the same as D9 :: kurtnoise13)

[ACrowley]

Any Chance for a fixing the Time Calculation Engine ?

I mean :
1. "Elapsed Time" Value resets to zero after 24h
2. Remainig Time Value jumps around. Older Builds and x264 in cmd Window shows a more or less "static" Remaing Time Value

[Kurtnoise]

Why not posting in the SF bugs tracker instead of here ?

btw, I'll look at this...

[berrinam]

I've given you SVN access on SF. Have fun.

[Sharktooth]

mitsubishi posted a patch for megui. get it here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1033012#post1033012
also i think we can now remove the tags folder, berrinam?

[Kurtnoise]

thanks...:)

The *big* question now : how to close bugs tickets ?

[Sharktooth]

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/6140/bbhi0.th.png (http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bbhi0.png)
then hit the submit button on the bottom of the page

0.2.6.1003
Commit by Sharx1976:
- Fix One Click Encoder crash (patch by bbel)
- Drag&Drop support for avs input in main window (patch by dako-kun)

[Sharktooth]

since today it seems i have some free time i posted a couple of builds and i did a small cleanup on the project trackers. i also disabled the CVS since it's no longer in use.

@devs: please ensure to check the feature request tracker frequently.

EDIT: Where i can get the megui install script used for the 0.2.5.1007 release?

[Kurtnoise]

EDIT: Where i can get the megui install script used for the 0.2.5.1007 release?
you mean the NSIS script ?


btw, here is a screenshot of the audio part refactoring :

A white panel on the top with a short text + the logo of the encoder with a direct link for download or something when we move the mouse on it.

What do you think about that ?

Note: the ND logo is free of charge (available for free on the official website (http://www.nero.com/eng/AppLogos_NDA.html))...

[Sharktooth]

yep the NSIS script.
some time ago i was thinking to add ftp download capabilities to the auto-updater so to fetch the nero encoder directly from their FTP. however, i like the encoder logo on the audio cfg window.

[Bigmango]

@ berrinam, Kurtnoise13, Sharktooth & Co

Thanks a lot for the great work on this app, it's good to know it is still updated :thanks:

Btw, if anyone of you guys happens to be looking at the source files, there is one very small fix I would like to use:

- increase the max possible nero audio (aac) bitrate from 320k to 640k (like the official nero gui allows 448k and 640k). This is primarily for multichannel audio.

[Sharktooth]

done.

[Sharktooth]

0.2.6.1004
Commit by Sharx1976:
- Always check to see if an event handler delegate is non-null before calling it (Patch by Sean McGovern)
- Increased the neroaac encoder max bitrate to 640kbps
- (Kurtnoise) add "Français" in the Language Selection (supported by the ISO 639 code and also needed for the parsing of the DVDDecrypter Info Text File)

[Bigmango]

Awesome ! :thanks:

[Sharktooth]

we have 27 bugs left in the megui bugtracker.
i suggest to concentrate our attention on fixing those bugs before implementing new features.
i think 0.2.5.xxxx is a bit too buggy to call it "stable".
what do you think?

[Kurtnoise]

yes, it's my main goal...:)



About NSIS script, try to ask to bob0r maybe...

[Sharktooth]

rev164 disables the updates if the avisynth plugins path is not found in the settings (that could mean avisynth is not installed since this path is get stright from the registry). afterall avisynth is required or megui wont work...
if you dont agree with that behaviour ill change it.

[Sharktooth]

0.2.6.1005

[Kurtnoise]

I'm ok with it but the stored path in registry is not OS dependent ? I mean, is it the same name for Vista and XP/2K ?
