I've started dabbling with some 4K HDR10 movies and found MeGUI doesn't seem to be handling them properly. The color output looked dull and washed out.



Did some quick research and found some info that makes it seem as though the source isn't be treated as a full 10-bit source.



Is MeGUI even capable of handling these movies? I'm trying out another encoder, Fastflix, that seems to have been written primarily to deal with this issue.
Yes but you have to input everything manually on the custom command. Use staxrip

When using the adaptive muxer you are able to set a name for the video stream, but when the adaptive muxer is brought up using the autoencode function the video portion is grayed out. Is there an option that allows me to add a name to the video stream using the adaptive muxer via autoencode?

I have a problem with the chapters part of the MP4 muxer that I never had before.
I used to add the chapters files before auto-encoding my video. It all worked well. My chapters are in UTF-8 because they use Hebrew letters.
Not too long ago I got a new PC. Unfortunately when I use the same method as before, the Hebrew letters get messed up and become jibberish. When I mux in an external program (like MKVToolNix GUI), I have to specify UTF-8 for the chapters to show properly.
Is there any way to force the muxer in Megui to encode the letters in utf-8? I prefer to do everything in one program as before, and not have this extra step.

Maybe use the CLI

Thanks but I really prefer using the GUI... I guess there is no option?

Hello.
I'm having an issue when using the HD Stream Extractor in MeGUI when it comes to audio files of 24 bit.

It adds distortion to the audio regardless which format I use with the exception flac (thankfully) from wav, wavs, W64, RF64 all no good. This isn't the only program either as Audio Cutter also gives the same result.

As I have multiple episodes bunched together into one m2ts file making a back up copy annoying.

Is there a work around to this?

Please put the log file.

The MeGUI HD Stream Extractor tool is a GUI for the eac3to.exe program, and AFAIK eac3to don't have problems extracting and recoding audio files of 24 bits.

Maybe if we know the sources and the output format desired (the log file) we can help you.

Done.
Does it matter which MeGUI version its using? I'm still using version 2525 simply because it's the very last version that supports .h264 files to encode. I've tried on MeGUI 64 bit version 2896 with eacto ver 3.34 which only allows W64 nothing else and still adds distortion to the audio.

I'm not sure if it's needed but I also updated RawSource version v0.0.1 but no improvement.

Oh, DTS audio I know has no issues with 24 bit either. Same with TrueHD audio. It's just with PCM / WAV there's an issue. The issue persists in non-MeGUI programs such as Audacity when encoding into .wav higher than 16 bit.

Maybe MeGUI just can't do 24 bit for some reason even tho https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to...nd_Line_Syntax says it can do it.

Nope, the eac3to version is the same.

The last MeGUI version is 2924, and all versions admit all outputs (see Settings in HD Stream Extractor window)
"supports .h264 files to encode"?

I can't reproduce the problem (see log), the output file is bit-identical to the source. No problem with 16 or 24 bits PCM tracks.

This is a plugin for raw video not needed here.

Then you have a problem with the source or your player.
If you can upload a sample of your source we can test it.
I think than MeGUI, eac3to and Audacity works fine.

I like to establish where it states "There are 15 packages which can be updated" all of it has been updated long ago and everything I can possibly update that still enables MeGUI to run without problems as I attempted to update the MediaInfo but would not run after certain versions.

Also where it says "Haali Matroska Splitter is not installed" is so too installed it doesn't know where it is but it's installed via k-lite codec pack and I think "Haali DSS2 is not installed" requires Haali splitter? Not sure.

Quote:
The last MeGUI version is 2924, and all versions admit all outputs (see Settings in HD Stream Extractor window)
"supports .h264 files to encode"?
I know but can it encode using it? Was my issue. Is version 2924 an unreleased build? I only am seeing version 2913.

Quote:
I can't reproduce the problem (see log), the output file is bit-identical to the source. No problem with 16 or 24 bits PCM tracks.
My motherboard is a MSI B350M Gaming Pro on Graphic AMD Software ver 20.11.1 with Realtek High Definition Audio Driver ver 6.0.8703.1. Under the settings I have it set to 24 bit, 96000 Hz (Studio Quality).

Quote:

I think than MeGUI, eac3to and Audacity works fine.
When using foobar2000 it plays audio music files in 24 bit 48 kHz and 96.0 kHz just fine. I've been using MKVmerge to extract the 24 bit audio with no distortion. I also use MPC-HC video player (included with k-lite codec pack) to test audio quality, so I can decode just fine just not encode above 24 bit without issue.

Is there some .wav output option that I'm not aware of that I can change to "Auto" when it comes to bit depth like it has on the foobar program? Which of course the .wav gives distortion on it too when going to 24 bit.

I don't think its necessary to provide a sample but if you really want how exactly do I do that? I seem to have forgotten how to do a short clip using MeGUI from a lossless source.

Megui -> Options -> Extended -> Auto Update -> Use development update server -> Save

Of course is recommended update all soft, but your issue is not a problem of versions or soft needed. Your issue only is with eac3to and it is tested to work without problems converting PCM 24 bits, from m2ts, to WAV 24 bits files.

eac3to don't need encode, only need swapp Big Endian bytes from PCM in m2ts to Little Endian bytes in WAV files, and reorder the LFE channel.

Quote:

MKVmerge can't extract wav files from a m2ts. You need convert to mkv and use MKVExtract.
If you do so with the track 3 of the 00002.m2ts the output wav play without distortion?

To cut a sample of your m2ts you can use tsMuxerGUI (tab Split & Cut)

Of course is recommended update all soft, but your issue is not a problem of versions or soft needed. Your issue only is with eac3to and it is tested to work without problems converting PCM 24 bits, from m2ts, to WAV 24 bits files.

eac3to don't need encode, only need swapp Big Endian bytes from PCM in m2ts to Little Endian bytes in WAV files, and reorder the LFE channel.
I'll check it out later as I remember a version where no matter what I did the update would not stop and kept annoying me. Which I prefer to keep it off.

Is there a way to change how MeGUI uses eacto? Or maybe change it from within eacto so MeGUI can use it as per my instruction? Like it does with the audio portion in MeGUI, FLAC, AC3, AAC, Vorbis but it doesn't have .wav for some reason.

As you mention I notice I use a program called Spek and I see that when I drag/drop the m2ts file into it it says:
PCM signed 16|20|24-bit big-endian for Blu-ray media, 2304 kbps, 480000 hZ, 2 channels

However with the extracted .wav it says:
PCM signed 24-bit-little-endian 2304 kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels.
How did you switch it?

MKVmerge can't extract wav files from a m2ts. You need convert to mkv and use MKVExtract.
If you do so with the track 3 of the 00002.m2ts the output wav play without distortion?
Right, no distortion when I use MKVmerge it'll change the extension to .mks which has been fine to get around my issue. But when there's multi-episodes in 1 m2ts file I am in need of MeGUI's Audio Cutter program.

Otherwise I have resorted to attempting to cut them in MKVmerge using its split mode but it requires more time and effort for me as one mode may not work but another mode may. It's faster with AVS Cutter > Audio Cutter but as mention Audio Cutter seems to encode it into .wav which adds distortion if it's above 24 bit.

To cut a sample of your m2ts you can use tsMuxerGUI (tab Split & Cut)
Thanks so much for the cool program! I'm gonna keep it too. Will be a big help on those annoying multi-episodes I hope.
Here are the files and the key:
Code:
D-Z-NzO0mDDsSbAyW0ulCA
In addition I've included the result of this split .wav file extract using eacto in MeGUI so you can hear it for yourself. My MeGUI ver 2525 is also included, so you can see exactly how it is at my end but only has the eacto in the tools folder.

There are some GUI's for eac3to, the included in MeGUI is the HdBrStreamExtractor but you can use other eac3to GUI.
I make one UsEac3to but it is not the problem.

In the MeGUI Audio encoder section you can use a AviSynth decoder plugin
like LWlibavAudioSource (and others) to open your m2ts, but you are right
does not offer WAV output. If you want that you can use BeHappy than only can manage audio with AviSynth but with many more options.

Exact, the audio samples are the same but the bytes are ordered like big-endian in a m2ts (and the LFE channel is the last) but in a WAV file the bytes must be ordered little-endian and the channel order must be: FL,FR,FC,LFE,SL,SR (without differences in stereo)

The players know how must manage that audio data without problem.

If you load a m2ts in MkvToolNix and output only the audio make a .mka file. If I do that the .mka play fine but exactly like the .wav extracted by eac3to.

For me the MeGUI's Audio Cutter work fine with the wav extracted but there are other methods like MkvToolNix or tsMuxeR to split the audio.

Sorry but your wav file play fine here, and is bit-identical to the obtained with my software.

All sound fine, your m2ts, your wav and the .mka or wav extracted be me, seems is a problem in your players with wav 24 bits.
Tested here with foobar2000, GoldWave, Audacity, VLC, MPC-HC and all sound fine.

I used that program when I could not figure out how to extract eac3 audio in MeGUI. But it took me some time to kinda understand how to at least re-encode the audio. I haven't spent more time on figuring out the rest of it.

I been using foobar2000 for my .wav needs. I never used BeHappy but good to know there's a backup program I can try.

Oh ok that explains it. I really don't know stuff like that.

Thanks for introducing me to that program. I'm pleased to have such a program now but I wish it had a specific frame cutter with maybe a video frame to easily capture the frame, so I can completely replace both AVS Cutter and Audio Cutter.

Going by your words that you had no issue with the files and even the .wav file I extracted myself I had to do some investigating and came to the conclusion that you are correct and it is the programs I been using. Strictly the program MPC-HC and Potplayer video players.

Following what you've said that the video player knows what to do with the data and everything else you've said got me thinking what if I put a video with that distorted audio therefore "switching" from big-endian to little-endian which then turns out no distortion!

So when I use MPC-HC strictly to listen to the audio for any distortion I hear the distortion when its in PCM (.wav) but not when I tell HD Streams Extractor to encode it into FLAC or any other audio > play it in MPC-HC there's nothing.

Then I tried to place the distorted .wav file into my foobar2000, increased my volume to max to see if I can hear it and nope, I heard no distortion! Since its specifically for audio files which I shouldn't be surprised but I was.

Then I investigated MPC-HC just raw and... no distortion!

So now its one of the filters I'm using together with MPC-HC and turns out it was FFDShow Raw Video Source that's been causing the problem. Not sure why when it's for video. This filter I used sometime back because I could not watch DVD for some reason, so I included it specifically to watch my DVD. I also use FFDShow Audio Processor to enhance the audio even more together with all of the LAV filters but that didn't cause any issues just the video filter.

So reinstalling k-lite codec pack without that filter but leaving in FFDShow Audio Processor leads up to hearing no more distortion in both video players!

So I like to deeply apologize for wasting your time and humbly thank you for it as well to get me to finally understand why its been distorting all this time. I was so use to doing it this way for years never thinking otherwise as I did try many times to understand why but not figuring out that it was the filter in my video player. I didn't even think about listening to it in foobar2000 which again why I was surprised.



Sorry for wasting your time with me honestly.

No problem, you are welcome.

[EDIT]
I added a AvsCutter function to UsEac3to using only ffmpg.

Thanks will give it a try when I get back to dealing with my multi-episode file again.
Thanks extra for including an image so it's easier to know how to figure its usage. It'll really help me out again thanks.

I heard some really good things about this program but I had never used it. Can anyone tell me some good things that you can do with MeGUI? I am looking for something to make my experience easier.

Define "good things". Do you mean "world peace" or something else ...

I was looking for features that will allow me to create scripts or upscale multiple videos.
