you think I'm playing to include some viruses or something like that in there ? *sigh*

it's due to the versioning number of course the sources are freely available idiot.

[zezinho]

I'm not saying that you put the virus in, I'm just saying that Microsoft's antivirus detected it.
It could be that the antivirus interprets some file as a virus.

[kalehrl]

Well, in my case there was no such detection.

[Kurt.noise]

Maybe its related to the latest 7-zip vunerabilities found out since I'm using that to create packages.

[VoodooFX]

Are those update issues fixed?

On VirusTotal (64bit MeGUI) 1/68 (AliCloud) detected as malware:- https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/...3be588fd09f085
On VirusTotal (32bit MeGUI) 2/66 (AliCloud/MaxSecure) detected as malware:- https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/...d1cb5cb9a0f28c

So at least 64 out of 66 AV's all thought things are tickety-boo (OK).
[EDIT: Microsoft AV did not detect on either bittage zip]

Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the new upload Kurt.

EDIT: I once had a detect on a Visual Basic program which I wrote, where there was a 7x7 grid of GUI buttons
for 47 balls (old UK Lottery balls format), and had bad detect on those, I just changed the draw ordering of the balls
and no more detect. Anti-Malware 'guesses' are far from perfect.
[EDIT: I believe that the array of buttons with slightly changing coords were being perceived as some kind of software mutation device, ie self changing code, and that spooked an AV detector]

For a broader picture than your single AV provides, you can upload suspect files to VirusTotal here:- https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

Hi
I'm trying to encode with MeGUI a MOV file to Blu ray compliant, but I got this issue:

[Emulgator]

MeGUI can not do anything about it, 1920x1080@60fps is not BD-legal.
You got to take care of your script that it delivers BD-legal framerates.
Mediainfo of source would help.

[Kurt.noise]

what does this file "C:\Users\Javier\Desktop\test\3yuwn0yq.h3y\C241211_00115.mkv.timestamps.txt.x264" looks like ? (open it in any text editor)

The double 0 at beginning of timecodes looks a bit suspect to me. (but what do I know )
I would delete one of them and retry.

However, what Emulgator said would still apply.

But MeGUi should reencode the video to compliant Blu ray, no? this is the reason

[Kurt.noise]

your issue here seems to be that your input is vfr, not the fact to transcode it to be BD compliant.

Could you share the file somewhere ? I'll see what can I do.

[Emulgator]

VFR from 59.465 to 12 000.000 fps... well.
Could be from a mobile phone ?

I just record a video with Iphone with variable frame rate

https://we.tl/t-UqtkUzspAR

[Emulgator]

I was almost betting on a recent Apple iphone.
To reencode that source for BD I would just Assumefps("ntsc_double") and stretch Audio a bit by 1.001,
1280x720x59.94p would be BD-legal
To reencode that source for UHD-BD I would just Assumefps(60.0)
1980x1080x60p would be UHD-BD legal, 3840x2160x60p would be UHD-BD legal

and how convert to 1980x1080x60p that video for UHD compliant

[Emulgator]

The x265 target device preset has to be modified. Make your own.

x264 for FHD on UHD-BD: (not your use case with 60p source, but for reference)
If 8bit are desired then AVC, SDR only. No 8 bit HEVC (at least it is not mentioned in Whitepaper) !
If 8bit are desired then FHD only 1920x1080
If 8bit are used, then AVC, SDR only, then FHD 1920x1080 only, and only the 2 following film framerates are possible: 23.976p,24.000p.
(I guess this was meant to accommodate re-using BD assets for UHD-BD Disc Extras)
No 25,29.97,30,50,29.94,60p ! No interlaced !
--level 4.1 --bluray-compat --preset veryslow --tune film --crf 17 --keyint 24 --open-gop --slices 4 --qpmax 48 --ipratio 1.2 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000

x265 for UHD on UHD-BD:
If 10bit are desired then HEVC only, no AVC !
If 10bit are used, then possible: UHD 3840x2160, FHD 1920x1080
If 10bit are used, then possible: SDR (BT.709), SDR (BT.2020), BDMV HDR (BT.2020 / ST 2084)
If 10bit are used, in UHD and FHD the following framerates are possible:23.976p,24.000p,25.000p,50.000p,59.940p,60.000p.
No 30.000p ! No interlaced !
GOP size = Ceil(framerate)
A more recent UHD-BD commandline for x265 can be found somewhere in the x265 threads,
searching and understanding would be on your side.
