It has something to do with the license, but I did not change anything about it.

[Zetti]

You have to generate a new license.

[Zathor]

http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic...tart=140#p9131

Revised the machine ID generation to be more stable for the case that fallback must be made to the HDD identification. Previously, the HDD volume ID was used, but this could change when the OS is updated. Now, the HDD HW serial number is used. As this is hard-coded, it will not change when OS updates are applied. Note that if your system uses this fallback (because no usable motherboard serial number is available), you will need to generate a new license when you get this slipstream. Thereafter, things should be stable.

What is the advantage of dgindexnv versus lsmash, the default app of MeGui?

[LigH]

It uses the PureVideo decoder chip of your Nvidia graphic chipset. If you have a supported version.

And the disadvantage is, you have to pay a little amount for a registration.

MeGui uses my CPU, not my GPU (GeForce GTX 1050 TI)

The GPU is used for decoding via DG tools if you have configured it to do so. DG tools only accelerate decoding, not encoding.

[LigH]

And MeGUI is only the user interface and AviSynth script generator and workflow manager. The conversion itself is done by background tools (AviSynth with decoder and filters feeding your encoder, e.g. x264 or x265 or ...).

Yes, that would be the subtitles and the attachments (like fonts), what I'm asking is if there's a way to disable that warning. I only have selected mp4 as output:



Obviously subtitles and fonts can't be muxed automatically (I wish though one day that would be possible without having to extract the subtitles and install the fonts) but if you only have selected mp4 as output like me, the warning is meaningless.

[Glarioo]

Thank you all for the explanation.
If I understand correctly, dgindexnv is "better" than l-smash?
If I buy a new license for dgindexnv, it is valid until I replace the SSD in my PC?

[Zetti]

You don't need to buy a new license, you just have to generate a new license.

[videoh]

Zetti is correct. Use the online license generator to make your new license key. The link was sent to you in an email when you donated. If you have lost that send DG an email and he will re-send it to you.

If you do not have a valid motherboard serial number, then yes, changing your system drive will require you to generate a new license. You are allowed 16 license generations.

Very reasonable indeed, guess that lots of people are currently moving to SSD.

[Glarioo]

I've have a new license number and everything works fine now. Thanks you all.

Yes, but most people have valid motherboard serial numbers, so the drive serial is not used.

Glarioo, glad to hear things are working again for you. Good luck with your projects!

I noticed a little oddity with DGIndexNV. Or it's a DGSource thing, but they seem to begin with the assumption that a source video is mod4. If it's not, DGIndexNV applies cropping to remove the padding, but it seems to be ignored, or something....

I made a clip with a resolution of 638x398 (AVC/MKV) and indexed it with DGIndexNV and LSmash. The DGIndexNV dgi file includes "CLIP 0 2 0 2", but I suspect it's being ignored because it's not mod4 cropping. Instead the clip appears to be resized to 638x398. Click the thumbnails for the full size version.

The DGSource script output:


The LWLibavVideoSource script output:


For MeGUI 2895, the "use Nvidia Crop and Resize" option is causing oddness. A script looked like this in the script creator when the option was unchecked:

DGSource("D:\test.dgi", crop_t=0, crop_b=0, crop_l=8, crop_r=8)
crop(8, 0, -8, 0)
Spline36Resize(1920,800)

If the source is mod2 it's a bit funkier:

DGSource("D:\test.dgi", crop_t=0, crop_b=0, crop_l=4, crop_r=4)
crop(2, 0, -2, 0)
Spline36Resize(640,400)

With the option checked, it never seemed to have an effect when I first opening an index file with the script creator. It'd just create a script like this as though it wasn't enabled.

DGSource("D:\test.dgi")
crop(8, 0, -8, 0)
Spline36Resize(1920,800)

Then if I went into the Avisynth Profile configuration, disabled "use Nvidia Crop and Resize", exited the configuration, went back in and enabled the option, finally I'd get the expected result.

DGSource("D:\test.dgi", crop_t=0, crop_b=0, crop_l=8, crop_r=8, resize_w=1920, resize_h=800)

Does the cropping have to be specified in that order for DGSource? Maybe it'd be better to do it in the same order as Avisynth's crop function if possible, to make it more familiar.

I also wonder what happens when DGIndexNV crops a video, for example a 1920x1080 source. Everyone else seems to just decode it as 1920x1080, but DGIndexNV sees it as 1920x1088 and adds "CLIP 0 0 0 8" to the index file. However any DGSource cropping over-rides the cropping in the index file, so the following, I'm pretty sure, would "uncrop" a 1080p source to 1920x1084, rather than crop it to 1920x1076 as expected. Seems a bit odd, but I'm pretty sure that's what would happen, so maybe MeGUI should stick to the standard Avisynth cropping and resizing.

DGSource("D:\test.dgi", crop_t=0, crop_b=4, crop_l=0, crop_r=0)

Cheers.

[videoh]

Don't mix different cropping methods. Use only one of these:

DGIndexNV cropping
DGSource() cropping
Avisynth cropping

If you start combining them things are going to be undefined.

Thanks, let me check that, how do you reproduce it? It should never show both cropping options in the script code obviously.

If resize is done by DGSource also cropping should be done that way otherwise you get unexpected results.
