Can you please try the new build and compare the speed to the 32bit one? For me vfw4x264 is faster than the 32bit one but I would like to have results from other systems.

Yes, you can use all filters.

yes i can test this for you, also i just remebered that you have fixed megui so that it doesnt need to use any files outside of its own directory so i can make a new folder called megui64 and use it to do all your testing without effecting my current stable 32bit megui.

im installing now and will provide you with the test results.

ok 64bit version you just updated has been tested the encoded video plays back fine this time with no issues.

64bit speed was between 8.6-9.0 fps during both passes.

yes i is browsing internet in small window and have megui encoding window on the side which im constantly monitoring. wish there was an automated way to do the speed checking. im going to run the 32bit version now and measure speed.

ok the 32bit encoder is finished now, and the 64bit one is faster.

32bit one encoded at 7.6-8fps during both passes. so a small advantage for the 64bit one.

although when the 64bit version was using avs4x264 it was running even faster than vfv4x264, although the final output was all corrupted.

In the first posting is a link to the development build.

Hi Zathor,

Is there any way for me to turn off the 64bit and only use 32bit? The reason is I want to compare the speed between both of them. As for 64bit, it works like a charm.

100% agree with you. At least we could have some kind of checkbox to enable it.

Me too. No issue whatsoever.

EDIT: AVCSource works with avs4x264, DGDecode_mpeg2source not. Anyone knows why?
EDIT2: New ev build in the first post. It will use vfw4x264.exe until the problem with avs4x264 has been resolved. In my tests it has the same speed as avs4x264 and the encoding is ok.
I have no problem at all with avs4x264. Works like a charm.

In settings, the button for neroaacenc.exe is not working. For besplit is OK.

enjoy,

About the AVI Muxer.

If you use input files with some characters such as "ã" or "ó" in the file name you get "No video source chosen!", that's because MeGUI is saving the AVI-Mux GUI job files as UTF-8, but if I save the same job file as UTF-8 signature (that's how AVI-Mux GUI saves it) or ANSI it works.

Edit:
I'm not a programmer, but looks like that changing from
Code:
using (StreamWriter output = new StreamWriter(File.OpenWrite(filename)))
to:
Code:
using (StreamWriter output = new StreamWriter(File.OpenWrite(filename), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8))
in megui/trunk/packages/muxer/avimuxgui/AMGMuxer.cs did the job (saves as UTF-8 signature).

The best way is to delete/rename the vfw4x264.exe. If you do it this way the wrapper will no be used at all and will not interfere with the test results. Btw the update check will notice that the file is missing.

Thanks, will change/fix both things later.

The problem arise when my input file is avi but no problem when the input is mkv (encoded using x264). Any idea why?

How can I easily turn off the x264 64bit option when I'm encoding using avi input?

New dev build in the first posting, but I had no time yet to test both changes.

Do you have the dev build which uses vfw4x264.exe or the old one which uses avs4x264.exe (if unsure, please redownload the dev build in the first posting and test again)? I'm asking because there seems to be no problems with vfw4x264.exe but I did not test it with AVI input yet.

I think its avs4x264.exe because it is the first time you implement the 64bit x264 before complains arise.

Any rough idea on speed comparison between:

Code:
avs4x264.exe with 64bit x264 

vs

vfw4x264.exe with 64bit x264

In my benchmarks there has been no real difference between both wrappers.

How to duplicate this problem: Well there's no sure way to duplicate it unless if you're running default settings on everything. I just used the basic blu ray profile that came with this developmental build provided at the beginning of this thread. I changed nothing, tried encoding in mp4 x264.

Now I'm not encode savvy but I'm willing to learn. Could it be that blu-ray type settings cannot be encoded in an mp4 container? Any other info you guys need, just ask ill post as quickly as possible. I tried several things including changing the profile, trying a different container, tried changing resolution from 1080p down to 720p, etc etc. Can't figure it out for the life of me. Ideas?

System Specs:

Windows 7 64 bit
Quad Core 2 Q6600
4 gig 1066 ram

P.S. I lurk doom9 alot for encode information, first time i had any real errors with MeGUI that wasn't already solved. I appreciate your efforts Zathor!

guys i am having the same problem he mentioned , i am trying to rip a DVD not a bluray , i tried Xvid , x264 both , but it is not working , it starts for a second and stops showing error
Well i am on windows XP SP3

Zathor,

I can confirm that the new dev build works great for me. Excellent work!

Zathor,

I just tried the latest development build with vfw4x264.

It works great, and for me runs even slightly faster (between .5% and 2%) than the avs4x264!
