If you don't have an Nvidia card already, you can install a cheap 8400GS alongside your existing card. |

Probably stupid question, but are there any differences in quality between these indexing methods? Or is it first of all a matter of speed? To be honest, I don't understand the detail of this indexing process at all. Logic tells me that it could not affect quality until indexing is not meant in the matter of just finding desired information in the source file. Multiple ways lead to Rome, right? I never thought about GPU indexing, but if it comes with a noticeable speed increase, why not. Is a 8400 fast enough for this task or would a more expensive card speed up things further more? |

For purely decoding, a fast CPU can beat the GPU (although Fermi is starting to challenge that wisdom). But in the vast majority of cases where Avisynth is used, the user is *transcoding* and the decoding rate is not the bottleneck, so offloading the decode to the GPU can give an overall performance gain to the transcoding operation by leaving more CPU bandwidth for the encoder. The Fermi cards will outperform the 8400GS but are MUCH more expensive. The 8400GS has a VP3 engine and is very fast; it's the current sweet spot for price/performance. Refer to the DGDecNV Benchmarking thread for more details. Last edited by Guest; 10th August 2010 at 17:29. |

Btw if anyone is looking at an ati 4870 or 4970, they take two power inputs (same as a normal SLI/Crossfire configuration would). So if you want to add a second gfx card, you need a quad (or tri) gfx card config supporting power supply.

Is there anything more I have to watch out for like memory size or bandwith (DDR2, DDR3) or can I just go and buy any 8400 GPU based card I find? |

Hi there,
first of all: nice work on the x64 build! But i have a problem: Whenever i start encoding a video with x264, sooner or later i get this error: if i "close the program" it disappears, but the fps drops from 80-90 fps to 12 fps (1st pass). Any idea what that could be? |

encoder crashed. check your AVS script in your favourite directshow media player and see if it can be played (from the beginning to the end) without crashes.
also, check your system for stability, expecially if you overclocked the CPU, RAM or Videocard. most ppl wrongly assume their system is stable coz every other app works without crashing... but when it comes to x264 it crashes...

I'd like to request a feature please. Right now when you open a TS file and select File Indexer, when you choose FFMSIndex, you get the dialog warning "Please use a MKV, AVI, MP4 or FLV container to index files with the FFMS2 indexer." Since we can't use DGAVCIndex in 64 bit, would you please consider adding TS support since ffmsindex does index TS files.
I basically do this manually now, i.e., I index the source TS file, create the AVS script and then load into megui64. Thanks a lot for considering adding this.

new FFMS2 plugin for megui x64 dev (thanks to kemuri9).
now 32bit and 64bit versions of megui should be both able to manipulate MKVs with header compression enabled.

Hi,
I'm kind of a noob, so keep your patience please... Isn't it possible to run MeGUI on an x64 system without Avisynth64 and ffdshow-tryout x64? On my Win7 x64 system with 32-bit MeGUI, Avisynth and ffdshow-tryout, x264_64.exe and vfw4x264.exe works pretty well. Are the any side effects of using those like this? |

no. except the fact all 32 bit apps have a 2 GB memory barrier.
some times, when using heavy filtering and/or HD sources avisynth may require more than 2 GB and that obviously makes avisynth 32 crash.
