Error2: SVT (AV1) codeck not working - causing fatal error

The last encoder not work for me, using the same avs to test the x264 encode:

8 bits sources encoding is broken with current svt-av1-psy windows builds. We have to convert input to 10bits or wait a bugfix.

You are right, but it is weird, without options it's working good = the same codeck

Using ConvertBits(10) in the .avs also crash:

And the libsvtav1 inside ffmpeg seems more updated (december-october)

Hello.
There is a problem in the last 2 releases.
When indexing a FFMSIndex video, after finishing, just a dark window appears, there is no picture.
L-SMASH everything is fine.

Holy sh....

I've been using MeGUI since it came out and was very sad to see there was no real development in years.

And it almost took me a year to stumble upon this thread and notice Kurtnoise is back and working on my fav GUI again.

Boy, I'm so happy I could cry.

And you'll probably cry when you see my list of feature requests and fixes that are really needed.

Btw what happened to you old account ???

Any log please ?

Okay, you asked for it. But one at a time.

BUG(?):
There is visual bug with MeGUI on high resolution desktops for a long time now.

On Windows 10/11 with a screen with 4k resolution AND a scaling >100%, MeGUI's progress windows look like this:



REQUEST:
Could you allow a zoom factor >100% for the preview window? FHD and especially SD content is tiny on a 4k screen. At the moment I usually enlarge the videos at the end of my script to see more detail in the preview window. However, I lost count of how many times I forgot to remove that last line and encoded an entire film with the wrong resolution.

Allowing a higher zoom of the preview would prevent that for lazy old bums like me.

[stimco]

https://ibb.co/wrW5KRcg

how I came out of the situation.
I took megui from earlier versions and replaced it.
everything works ok.

By the way, during updates, avisynth is updated 2 times.
and.. is it possible to immediately get mkv when encoding av1.
to see the result.

[nechto]

time of requests?
is it possible to add batch mode ? even I need to submit every file settings.
e.g. To choose not more than 10-15 file and for each of them settings window will appear. If possible to have an option to autosubmit, but this one I think will be enough for beginning. Unlimited number of files can crash - it is why 10-15 if possible. Now to convert my 1000 videos from mp4 to mkv with little loss I need to spend a lot of time (to queue all of them)

"standard error stream" here means the redirection of the output of the tool in order to catch up error messages and diagnostic information. Nothing to worry.

btw, did you move the progress bar in order to check out the preview ? Sometimes, the 1st frames are blanked. Thats why you see nothing.

Maybe because the 1st time, downloading was corrupted or something.
