MeGUI development

@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.

Just tested and that works fine...:) Thanks...


@Sharktooth: here is a little update (http://www.mediafire.com/?diddyzjtmwy) for LAME presets. To avoid errors for newbies...

[Sharktooth]

all updates are up.

@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?
because I was annoyed by this message when I launched some x264 encodes...:p :D

this shouldn't be a restriction anymore (despite the fact there is still a warning in the code...:sly:).

I would try newest MeGUI build in Windows 7 build 7048 32-bit, and you can, guys, expect some notices from me. If it's work on Windows 7 pre-RC, of course.

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?

[Kurtnoise]

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 ?

[Greif]

Made some changes to hdbdextractor:
HDBDStreamExtractor.cs
-(fix) corrected spelling of ToolStripProgresBar to ToolStripProgressBar
-(fix) added Delegates & CallBacks to set ToolStripProgressBar and ToolStripStatusLabel for cross-thread UI calls

VideoStream.cs
-(fix) return initialized VideoStream object instead new instance
-(fix) use VType in switch statement instead of string comparison

[EuropeanMan]

When muxing MKV stuff, I'd like to see some additional language options for audio/subtitles...is this possible at all?

[Kurtnoise]

like what ?

this is not a Feature Request thread here...:sly:

[Sharktooth]

@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. :)

[EuropeanMan]

Well can you PLEASE point me where I could make a feature request?

I just needed Urdu & Punjabi added to the Language options, which are missing...thanks.

[nurbs]

Go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/megui
Click on "Tracker" (top, middle) then "Feature Request".

[EuropeanMan]

Next,

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?


PS - thank you Nurbs :) appreciate it.

[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?

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

[EuropeanMan]

a lag file is a bad source? are you serious?

[Kurtnoise]

of course I'm serious...

[th3obr0]

Next,

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?


PS - thank you Nurbs :) appreciate it.

I believe 'cause the first 1-2 mins of the movie are credits and not much motion. Later on when you get the real frames to be corrected the FPS comes down,

[Kurtnoise]

@devs: do you think it will be a good idea to include dgavcindex/dec in megui auto-update?
should be ok w/ latest revision now...

DGAVCDecode-1.01 package (http://www.mediafire.com/?wzdn125zn0x)
DGAVCindex-1.01 package (http://www.mediafire.com/?qgmt3h535vh)

and the upgrade.xml file updated (http://www.mediafire.com/?wxmkmmmjlnj) (beware that some packages filenames have been updated too in it : mkvtoolnix, eac3to, mencoder, ffmpeg).

[Sharktooth]

doh! i was about to make the changes in the weekend but you beaten me.
well, thanks.

[Kurtnoise]

and for this issue (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2723235&group_id=156112&atid=798476)...a faac build (http://www.mediafire.com/?tdkwdhjloby) not SSE2 optimized (i should keep my own SSE2 build for me)

[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.

nitpicking: shouldn't be "Home Theater" instead ? and there are also some others profiles available (SP & ASP) in the vfw interface...:)

[Sharktooth]

-re/-er depends on the language.
british english uses -re... in US english it is usually spelled -er instead... like Centre(UK)/Center(US).
about SP and ASP... well, i didnt feel the need to add them. however they could be an option.
