Worker->Settings.

But usually it doesn't make sense to increase this. I recommend leaving it on low priority.

Either you pay that or use a free alternative like DGMPGDec/mpeg2source/dgindex (same author as DGDecNV, just not maintained anymore and software instead of Nvidia CUVID). Is also included in MeGUI.

Though the missing license doesn't explain the x264 crash.
I didn't know there was a paid version - I haven't installed that myself, so just assumed I was using a free version that comes with MeGUI. How do I resolve this (i.e remove the paid version and only use the free one)?

OK by the looks of things that paid one is DGdecNV.dll which isn't what my script is loading - it's loading MeGUI\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll, that's the free bundled one isn't it? the updater lists it as DGIndex 1.58 dating from 2010

also previewing the generated AVS on the main input page of MeGUI works fine - no green at all. Surely if there was a license problem with the decoder, this would still be the case when previewing the script as it would when running the script

Sorry, you are right. I didn't know "dgdecode_mpeg2source()" is an alias for "mpeg2source()". Ignore my other posts.

update: I've restored an old version from a backup, disabled updates, and encoding to x265 no longer produces the green screen. I don't have time today to go through all the component updates to see what's causing the green problem, but I will get to that soon.

x264 still produces the same crash. It's now that I realise that all the encodes I was doing previously in MeGUI (back when "everything used to work") have all been to x265 - it's likely that x264 has never worked. I'd like to figure out why!

I've already set that but it's not working. Every job starts at Low.


I use development updates. Maybe that's the problem.
What do you mean by it doesn't make sense? I thought higher priority level utilizes cpu more.

All my job types are set to Normal in the settings, but when I launch an avs encode, it's Low, a demux Below Normal, etc... Is there another option I haven't found to apply the priority settings?

Since version 2896, I cannot get two scripts to run together. I've set every Worker option I can find to '3' but if I Queue two scripts and then click Start, all jobs are done one at a time.

It would be great this feature could be returned to the way it was.

Might it be that my copy of MeGUI isn't performing correctly with my Windows 10 PC? I've tried the 32 and 64 bit versions but they both produce a settings screen that just isn't right - words missing and a digit box that can't be clicked. It should look like the screen posted by zdzdz above.

If anyone can identify my problem, I'd be grateful.

The "default fps" should be the same frame rate as the input video (except for deinterlacing or Inverse Telecine results). Arbitraty frame rate matching usually decreases the quality unnecessarily. And converting VFR content further is not recommendable, anyway. So, why do you believe you need that feature? But check if saving an AviSynth script preset (a template including an FPS conversion) already provides the wanted feature.

You can specify some track attributes explicitly if you use manual multiplexer tools as part of the manual queue management mode. The quicker usage modes (Auto Encode, One Click Encoder) provide less flexibility than the manual mode with queue control.

I want to set all contents fps to 23.976 so if possible please add this feature.

It has that feature but you'd generally only use it on 29.97fps telecined sources. Run the analysis in the de-interlacing section under the Filters tab. MeGUI will try to pick the best method, which may or may not involve changing the frame rate. Let MeGUI decide because (no offence) it's probably more likely to get it right.
If you don't like the result, upload a small sample of your source video for someone else to look at, but don't try arbitrarily changing the frame rate.

Could you please upload your settings.xml?

Please upload your settings.xml, too.

If you delete all rule sets, your are back to the old behaviour.

Please upload your full log as I do need dpi values of your screen(s).

Thanks, Zetti. Forgot to mention that one.
I will NOT update for the moment as I need to figure out the changes which have been done in 18.08 already. For the moment MeGUI is still on 18.05

Hello Zathor and thank you so much for the reply. With all 'rule sets' deleted, I can now run two jobs together. It took me a while to discover how to delete a rule set as the button for it is hidden (see the image in post #6710) but luckily there was just enough visible to click on.

As requested, here's the log. Hopefully, you can find out why my 'Options' screen is not displayed correctly. Thank you once again.

This is exactly LigH's point of why this should NOT be implemented. Forcing this frame rate will destroy all content that's not already 23.976fps, and it's unnecessary for all content that already is.

If you have 29.976 content that's telecined you should be inverse telecining it, not forcing it to drop frames.

My bad, I didn't understand the way the new worker settings were displayed in the settings panel, I changed them again so they are all set to normal, I'll try again and see if it's OK

Thanks for the log, I was able to reproduce the problem. A fix should be available soon (however you have to switch to the development update server to get it for now).
