MeGUI development

[Kurtnoise]

I think that part must be tuned...:p

Here is an user case:
open an input file (let's say d2v).
select a subtitle file.
choose a noise filter from the list.
Hit Preview.

Subs are removed from the script as soon as you select the noise filter...

I think that part must be tuned...
something like that... (http://pastebin.com/f1f0357cf)

[Sharktooth]

ok, commit it.
but there is a problem, your patch wont keep multiple subs.
we can either allow 1 sub only or modify your patch.

hi, sorry for my absence :P. Is there any outstanding work waiting on me?

[Kurtnoise]

mmmh...I wasn't aware that you would like to have nth subtitles in the script (but wait...why nth subs w/ one source ? :confused:). I'll see what can I do.



btw, I fixed also a typo in the Xvid Encoder command line...:p Now, 2passes Home Theater Profile (and others) works fine.

[Sharktooth]

theatre is UK english... theater is US english... :p
tnx for fixing the damn typos btw... :D
however, i thought about multiple subs... let's keep one.

hi, sorry for my absence :P. Is there any outstanding work waiting on me?
have you some time to update the wiki? or, if you like, time to learn c#? ;)

@kurtnoise: im working on the avs creator.

edit: fixed the script issue. only 1 subs file allowed.
time for a new build...

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

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)...
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?

Also, I put the patch in pastebin (http://pastebin.com/m38d48708) for ease of access.

update your svn tree & remove trailing white space...
Updated patch on pastebin (http://pastebin.com/m14813175) for the latest rev in svn, though no changes in this code.

Not sure what white space you are seeing... I see only <CR><LF> at the end of each line.

[UsedUser]

Patch in pastebin (http://pastebin.com/m698c3c7e) to remove redundant controls.

There appears to be a redundant set of controls in the DGM Indexer that overlay the actual controls used for the audio demux settings.

The following controls take user input as they are topmost in the GUI, but are not checked for their settings:

groupBox1
listBox1
radioButton1
radioButton2

The following controls do not take user input (they are concealed by the other controls) but are checked for their settings when creating the processing job:

groupBox3
AudioTracks
demuxAll
demuxNoAudiotracks

[Kurtnoise]

I'll commit your patches tomorrow.

edit: done...

@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 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.

w/ build 7100...no problem so far.

[Dark Eiri]

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.

Why you put tsmuxer 1.8.4 when there is 1.10.1 as lastest and its more stable than 1.8.4

[Sharktooth]

coz i downloaded it from the main post (which points to 1.8.4(b) as the latest version).
if you can kindly provide me a link for the latest one, ill update it tomorrow.

@Sharktooth: if you don't mind, could you update MP4Box (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=mp4tools/&file=MP4Box-0.4.6-dev_20090519.zip) (highly recommended for subtitles_ipod_compliant) ?

[b66pak]

@Kurtnoise please post the log with the modifications for mp4box...

[Kurtnoise]

I don't understand what you mean...there is the patch included in the package.

Correct. It's a licensing issue. To download, simply use google or go to Nero's website directly and click through the download section.

When this is enabled and if the video compressor selected is x264 *and* if a chapter file is found, megui will create an x264 qp file automatically and will use it to force start chapter frame as key-frame. Useful for splitting...In the near future, chapter file restriction will be removed.

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.

0.3.1.1039
- (sharktooth) [x264] Made FullRange an option.
- (sharktooth) Added AvisynthWrapper solution and project files for VS2008

@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.
