Now in Options->Extended we can select between:

- Use custom update server

Use the second one (custom) because if you select the development when select Tools->Update you get very old server versions not recommended:

We need download manualy the encoder and put it in:

...\MeGUI_66\tools\svtav1psy\SvtAv1EncApp.exe

Because it is not included in the Tools->Update

Even the message if you try encode to AV1 without the manual download:

The avs script work fine, the problem is how MeGUI send the AviSynth STDOUT WAV_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE file to the encoder.

And not only with flac encoder, also don't work with a recode with ffmpeg:

Well ok...may I missed something. Will check.

Now in Options->Extended we can select between:

Use the second one (custom) because if you select the development when select Tools->Update you get very old server versions not recommended:

Yes, thats why I recommend to install this new release into a new folder and update components afterwards.

I get this on my side using development server :

We need download manualy the encoder and put it in:

Even the message if you try encode to AV1 without the manual download:

Its because you have downloaded the release from yesterday, right ? I've made a silent build this morning in order to prevent that.

I have this error and i don't know how to resolve:



It happens both when trying to make the index file (with FFMSIndex or L-SMASH Works) and if I load an avs script (without filters of any kind).
I use Avisynth AviSynthPlus_3.7.3_20230715, windows 11 pro, AvsPmod_v2.7.7.8, VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.
I had no problems with the MeGui.x64-6666.1007 version. I only rip to x264.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

[Kurt.noise]

LWlibavVideoSource() from lsmash-works can't be used to open avs scripts. Did you have both bborders.avsi & bbmodY.avsi in your plugins avisynth folder ? Did you really need that ? Also, retry with a short name.

Thanks for you help.


The procedure I use to make the index file to create the avi script is: Megui - Tools - File indexer - Inpunt file - FFMSIndex or L-Smash.
I removed bborders.avsi and bbmodY.avsi , which I was using anyway, the result is this (with the short name):


The same crash is created if, by recalling a previously created avs script, I try to launch the encode and the same window appears.
In my opinion there is a problem with the latest version of MeGUi. If I try to install the old ones it updates and I'm all over again.

[Kurt.noise]

How would I know ?

Ooooo, lovely!

Does MeGUI autoload all plugins from \tools\avisynth_plugin?
I'm using the included avisynth+

normally, yes...except bestsource for Audio decoding.

[kalehrl]

When you switch from stable to development server and restart, you will get an update notification to downgrade tools.
Switching back to stable will not fix the issue.
So, once you change the server, you will always get annoying downgrade notification.

[Kurt.noise]

yes, I'm looking at it. Anyway, I think I will drop definitively the "stable" server from my fork for easier maintenance.

I get this error when I try to encode with ffmpeg aac:

Does MeGUI pay any attention to the new eac3to ini file? It's just that for version 1405 I thought it might have changed what MeGUI was doing. I'm sure at some point the HD Streams Extractor section in the log still contained the warning but -keepDialnorm wasn't in the command line. I was probably confused....
I was trying to find out why eac3to no longer fixes audio gaps so I changed MeGUI and eac3to versions a couple of times.

Thanks.

Maybe 3.52

Like Kurt say "nope..." and show warnings for "Unknown line...", but eac3to yes.

BTW check your eac3to.ini file like I say you in eac3to no longer fixes audio gaps

Can you upload your sample file? to make test by command line (out of HDStreamsExtractor) to confirm the behaviour.

Or execute in command line, and put the log:

"C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "M:\NVME1\gap.mkv" 2:"M:\NVME2\gap_T2_Audio - English.aac"

[hello_hello]

Yes I made a boo boo as I meant version 3.52.

If only I'd read your post 10 minutes earlier.... I thought it'd be easy to make another sample until eac3to 3.36 decided to ignore the gap too. There must be a minimum size or duration before it's interested as the first couple of samples I made were only about 30 seconds long.

As you can see for these two, foobar2000 is able to pretend there's no gap and report different audio durations for each, but it's the same audio. I split the sample in half, delayed the audio in the second half by 1500ms, then put the two halves back together. If you extract the AAC from 1500ms.mkv without accounting for the gap, when you stick the AAC into a container again foobar2000 will display 01:16.800 as the duration instead of 01:18.300.

Naturally 1500ms.mkv will lose A/V sync about half way through.

Done.

I tried appending the delayed section to the end of the original MKV to see if maybe a longer duration would make a difference, but according to the log file eac3to 3.52 noticed the gaps but didn't fix them. I deleted the eac3to ini file first.

Not related at all with MeGUI or HDStreamsExtractor, is a eac3to problem present from v3.40.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Kurt.noise: Thank you for your MeGUI 6666 work . A couple questions:

1) I was able to simply copy-paste my standard MeGUI's x264 and QAAC profiles to their corresponding folders in your version without issue, but copying-pasting my AviSynth profiles results in the error message "The file could not be loaded: 'PATH... .xml' It will be moved to the backup directory: 'PATH...' for each individual profile when I start MeGUI 6666. Any idea why?

2) All attempts to downmix audio results in MeGUI 6666 crashing, regardless of the "Preferred Decoder" selected.

Thanks for any help.
