Btw... in MeGUI the words profile and presets are several times mixed up. I am not sure myself where the difference should be (profile e.g. = x264, preset = x264 specific profile configuration?) so maybe it makes sense to rename everything - to profile? |

As a starting point please create the index again (so the step which takes so long time) and then please upload the MeGUI log e.g. to pastebin.com. You can find the log in the MeGUI\Log folder (please close MeGUI before you export the log so that it is written in the correct way).

Since encoders use presets to set a whole group of parameters at once, I believe you should avoid "preset" in MeGUI where possible. The set of parameters per encoder managed by MeGUI may possibly be best called "templates", I believe?!

That doesn't seem to be the problem though - the problem is MeGUI using the same physical disk for processing the file, resulting in extreme slowdowns. Quote:

Given it's an AVI containing lossless video, you could try opening the Script Creater from the Tools menu and selecting the AVI as the input video. When MeGUI asks how you want to open it, select AviSource. No indexing required.

I've often longed for a "scratchpad" button next to "ok" and "cancel". That way you could change a preset and hit the "scratchpad" button to load the new settings in scratchpad while closing the encoder configuration, without MeGUI having to offer a dialogue box asking you what you want to do. All the video/audio encoders have a "load defaults" button, if that's what you mean by a "reset" button. As do the OneClick and AVS profiles etc. I definitely wouldn't remove them. They're kind of like a sanity check button. That's probably a good idea. Off the top of my head though everything has profiles, except the encoders which have presets, so it's kind of logical, but I don't know why they all couldn't be called one or the other. |

Every so often, for reasons unexplained, it seems Avisynth doesn't load a plugin from it's auto-load directory when MeGUI opens a script (I have MeGUI set to use the "installed" Avisynth 2.6.0.6). When it happens, the problem is 100% repeatable until I restart MeGUI, then the problem goes away. Any script in the queue requiring the plugin in question will fail to encode. In the mean time, I can open the same scripts with MPC-HC without issue.
It only happens now and then, and usually loading a script while another one is being encoded seems to be where the problem starts, but would it be fair to assume this will remain one of life's unexplained mysteries? I was having trouble making sense of the log file because my attempts at loading scripts seemed to be mixed up with the jobs that were running, but below is the error for a job in the queue that failed to run.

EDIT: How much memory is consumed by MeGUI at that moment? Last edited by Zathor; 21st September 2015 at 20:52. |

Profile with video encoding disabled: Profile with video encoding enabled. Manually enabling it without changing profiles still results in a greyed out drop down aspect ratio arrow. Opening a video gets the correct aspect ratio to display, but the drop down arrow is still disabled: After restarting the OneClick encoder. No settings changed in between: I rarely use the OneClick encoder, but it was something I noticed. Ahhhhh..... the button to reload the preset's settings doesn't work any more either. I'd forgotten about those two. |

I guess anything's possible......
I had another play and it's kind of working for me. I previously tested it by selecting a preset, loading the default x264 settings, then using the "preset settings" button. I think now because the defaults are loaded in the current preset, if they're loaded first they become the preset settings so the preset settings button appears not to work. Also for me, no changes under the Misc tab seem to be altered when using the "preset settings" button. I can't remember if that's always been the case, but it probably shouldn't be. The Misc settings should be reverted too. Edit: A bit more testing seems to indicate the "preset settings" button is more hit and miss than I thought. None of the settings under the Main tab seem to be effected by it. It reverts any changes to the deblock settings and number of B frames but the B Frame bias setting is unaffected by it. I haven't tested everything but I can't see a pattern to what it reverts and what it doesn't. Odd..... There is a difference between the main "load defaults" button and the "default settings" button under the Misc tab. The former resets everything to the defaults, whereas the latter leaves the custom command line area alone, and doesn't make all the advanced settings tabs disappear, which means I'd probably be more inclined to use it now I've refreshed my memory as to how it works. Unless all of the above works differently when you're not using XP..... I really should pull my finger out and get the new PC build under way.

Is there a way to get as included AviSynth the 2.6 MT one instead of standard AviSynth?
I have tried to manually replace but it's overwritten at every startup.

EDIT: I was able to reproduce it now... EDIT2: Fixed in 2592 I received a bug report that lsmash cannot deal with 10 bit sources. http://sourceforge.net/p/megui/bugs/812/ After some investigation this seems to be true: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...27#post1713627 In any case I have to check if the source is > 8bit. Question is what to do then: - ignore lsmash (and use ffms) - or add the format="YUV420P8" or format="YUV420P16" (stacked) as mentioned a few posts below I have tried to reproduce the OnceClick profile button oddness with my virtual XP machine and there ii works also as expected. Are you able to upload your profiles which you use for the test? Last edited by Zathor; 27th September 2015 at 12:40. |

Thanks for the fix.
Another question: Why does the updater delete any other file when tools get updated? For example, when I got the qaac update, I had to copy back the DLL files from Apple to make qaac work again. I also like to keep the x64 files of qaac and dgindexnv in the same folder, but x64 builds aren't part of the updates, so they get deleted, too. |

EDIT: found it Easiest way is to create a new directory in tools. E.g. .\tools\qaac_x64 Last edited by Zathor; 27th September 2015 at 17:21. |
