Do you need the information about the aspect ratio error?

Yes, that's the additional information I would like to see in the AviSynth script creator below resize.
When resizing, it is advisable to choose resolution which will give the least aspect ratio error.
For example, if a movie is shot in 2.35 I choose 640x272, if it is 1.77 - 624x352, 1.85 - 624x336.
This aspect ratio error calculator would take into account the original movie resolution, cropping options and then display the aspect ratio error according to the chosen resolution:

You will see that clicking on the 2nd status window does nothing. The 'tick' does not go on and off like the first status window. (It is not on another screen somewhere). Does this just pertain only to my computer?

I cannot see which kind of jobs have been started before the one progress window disapaered. So yes, I still need the files.
Nevertheless I can now reproduce the problem with two idle workers and a OneClick job. After the OneClick has finished the next jobs are done hidden. Is that also your problem?
But even after several hours debugging around I cannot find the cause of this problem and will now stop finding it. I will implement a workaround for this but it will only work for OneClick generated jobs.
EDIT: please try 2237.

I don't think it's maintained any more and I prefer MeGUI anyway, but HDConvertToX displays the aspect ratio error as a percentage as you make adjustments. I always thought that was a nice addition to the resizing/cropping area.

The ability to resize up would get my MeGUI improvement vote. Doing it the way other programs tend to.... changing the color of the resize text area to let you know you're doing it, but not actually stopping you.....
Now that MeGUI can do mod2 resizing, the ability to resize up would be next on my wish list.

Hi, you can download this script http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=165004

In Megui, you write: Subtitle(String(Aspect_Error(4,0,-2,0))). If you want specify output dimensions, then:

Subtitle(String(Aspect_Error(4,0,-2,0, 640, 480)))

Bye,

Please delete the file update_cache\megui_core-2237.zip on your own and try it again.
EDIT: if it still fails please upload the complete log.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. If you go to the megui main site and download the archive file 2237 core and try to extract it. For me it will give an error that the archive is corrupted.

Here is a log of my megui though:

Code:

Connecting to server: http://megui.xvidvideo.ru/auto/stable/
There is 1 file which can be updated.
Updating core. File 1/1.

Thanks for fixing the status window bug. It was really starting to 'bug' me. I often like to change the priority depending on what else I'm doing and I was unable to do this easily with that bug.

Also thanks for adding subtitle support for .mp4. Excellent.

unknownsoldierX · 26th December 2012, 17:49

I've just had a horrible experience. I set MeGUI to encode a video, edited the audio encode job to switch to a different audio track, but I forgot to edit the mux job.

MeGUI worked on the video for over 5 hours, completed the video encode, tried to mux and gave the error "Exception message: Calling setup of processor failed with error 'Required file 'd:\audio.mp3' is missing". It then deleted the video track it just spent 5 hours encoding.

edit: I understand that there is a "delete intermediate files" option, but it should not do that if there has been a muxing error.

bin_ch · 27th December 2012, 08:52

Zathor, MeGUI stable got mkvtoolnix updated to 5.9.0, but that version of mkvmerge has a bug on muxing date, you might want to push a pre-release build.

Thanks - I have fixed that yesterday. As I do not have direct control of the mirror site I have uploaded the same file with another name and it seems to work now. Additionally I have uploaded a fully extracted archive to SF.

For sure - please upload the full log file covering all involved jobs.

Thanks - but I would like to do a downgrade to 5.8.0 to avoid problems with a pre-release.

Thx - can you please upload it somewhere else so that we do not need to wait for approval?

LigH · 27th December 2012, 13:51

There are many "pastebins" available, like http://paste.frubar.net (supports line highlighting by prepending lines with '@@'; you can limit the storage duration).

I cannot reproduce it. Was the mux job part of an AutoEncode or OneClick job? Or did you created this mux job with the tools\muxer tool? If yes which one (Adaptive / AVI)?

unknownsoldierX · 27th December 2012, 16:09

I used AutoEncode.

Ok, in that case it is intended as the input vide file is a true intermediate file. Those files will be deleted when the corresponding job is finished successful or the job will be deleted. The second part has happened in your case. I have to think about the ways to handle that better - currently I have only the idea that a warning message box should appear when deleting such a job.

unknownsoldierX · 27th December 2012, 17:10

Well, I don't think it makes sense to delete intermediate files if there is an error. It would be great if there were a warning message saying which file(s) were affected. Maybe a prompt asking if MeGUI should delete the involved intermediate file(s).

In my situation, I simply forgot to update the mux job. So the encoding when perfectly fine, but then MeGUI couldn't find the audio file it was told to mux, so it deleted the video file. If there is no prompt before deleting such files, I'd rather MeGUI just leave them. Better to leave a couple gigabytes in a folder, which I would easily find and deal with myself, than delete a perfectly fine video stream that took hours to encode.

Disabling the deleting of intermediate files altogether avoids this issue, but then I'd manually be deleting files all the time.

In short, if MeGUI has a file missing error, it shouldn't freak out and delete all the other files which are most likely still viable.
