I am wondering if there is a problem with Xvid encoded files with MeGUI 0.2.3.1058? I can't seem to play it with any DS application players like MPC and etc. But I am able to view it with Mplayer without problems, what is the problem with it?

I am using mencoder 20060101 to encode the Xvid file. Output will be in 1:1. FFDShow Nov 29 installed with Haali Media Splitter Nov 25 build and the file is encoded into an .avi file. Encoding is fine but the final output can't be viewed with MPC, WMP and the likes of it. Mplayer can play it though..... The funny thing is, if I encode it halfway through and aborts the file ( I select don't delete aborted outputs in Megui ) and view the file, the file can be viewed through MPC...:weird:, but a 100% encode can't be viewed |

In mencoder you are encode via VfW or CLI? I don't use mencoder, so I don't know. But I do know that you can't just place Mpeg4 CLI encoded video into AVI files. There are errors when it Directshow tries to render the frames. Try to place your Xvid encode inside a MP4 container using YAMB. This should help you see if its your video, or if its your video in wrong container.
If it does play in MPC after you mux to MP4, then that means that you will have to convert the Xvid file to an AVI compatible file (which I don't know what program does that, maybe AVC2AVI?). If it doesn't play, then your file is borked in some weird way... That's my best guess, and probably not a good one. But at least a start

Using CLI here but my previous builds all can be viewed properly. This 1 I can't get it to view only (its a DVD rip 1 hour 48 minutes), looks like I need to PM the experts on this and see what is wrong.
Tested with a 1 minute clip, no problem at all....hmmm....hmmmm |

In regular there are no problems when using mencoders integrated avi muxer.
Show us the generated mencoder commandline in the logfile/window and if its all right ... then try a different mencoderbuild and see if it helps. |

Well.. I'm afraid the mencoder muxer isn't all that it's cracked up to be. At least muxing raw asp/avc streams into avi gives you something that only mplayer can play. If encraw finally comes to a stable state, I'm going to replace mencoder with it. BTW, what's your output? AVI or MP4? MP4 shouldn't be a problem, Matroska neither.. but I've heard previous reports of mencoder, XviD and AVI being a problem.. that's why I'm considering other muxers (but those thoughts haven't progressed very far).
BTW, @Dayvon: just because nobody said anything, we didn't miss your icon so let me say thanks at this juncture.

The output is in .avi container. The last time I used to encode Xvid via Megui is through MeGUI 0.2.1024 .Net 1.1 and it works fine with Mencoder 20060101. After I changed to 0.2.3.2033, I only tested with AVC encodes. Now after changing to 0.2.3.2058, Xvid encode gives me this problem, revert it back to 0.2.3.2033 gives me the same problem also Last edited by Shinjite; 3rd February 2006 at 10:26. |

@ berrinam: It's not an ODML issue, but a MinGW issue. In linux I have no problems creating even 12GB large files with mencoder and they play perfectly in Linux and in Windows, in both VirtualDub (VFW) and DirectShow players. But mplayer compiled with MinGW has problems, it only plays the first GB. According to this thread on the mplayer mailing list, one solution is a mplayer compiled with cygwin.

I remember when I just added --enable-largefiles to my ./configure line when compiling mencoder (even under MinGW) mencoder resulted encodings with filesizes bigger than 2GB played back properly. Ok, these where mpeg2 encodes, but it really seems that largefiles enabling could be the cure (imho).
EDIT: I also remember of an direct avi (xvid/mp3)mencoder encode I did which resulted in 3GB - no problems. Last edited by Inc; 3rd February 2006 at 18:56. |

Mine was encoded from DVD. Output was 1.4GB and it was rendered unplayable so I had to use VFW in VDM. Tested with Nov 23rd version of mencoder also has the same problem. So I will conclude for myself that in my case, only large output files in .avi is a no-no. I haven't try out the --enable largefiles command yet though... |
