MeGUI: bug reports and feature requests

[pooksahib]

I've just used MeGUI 2944 x64 with a script using DirectShowSource and added at the foot of the script is:

ConvertBits(8)
ConvertToYV12()

Doesn't bother me given that the result was good.

You need create tickets from here. Zathor will fix it

Well that's pretty much why I was asking. I wasn't sure if it was a unintentional bug that needed to be reported or whether it was intentional and I was just unaware of the reasoning for it.

Hello, I hope everyone's well . It's been a while, but I'm venturing into 4K-HEVC sources for the first time and have discovered that, when indexing any (well, at least x264 and x265) 10 bit source with L-SMASH Works, MeGUI does the indexing without issue but as soon as I choose a preset script it crashes. A bit of testing later, I've learned that L-SMASH (or MeGUI?) adds ", format="YUV420P10" to the end of the "LWLibavVideoSource\PATH" and is the cause of the crash, because if I change the "10" to an "8" (even though the source is 10 bit) the script runs without issue. It's not a burden to edit the "10" to an "8" but I'm simply curious if there's a fix for this. Ahhh, Win 7 with the latest MeGui updates from the developmental server. Thanks for any information.

Just because, I tried to index with FFMSIndex and it was the same result--crashing as soon as I selected a preset script--but there's no "format" addition to edit and adding ',format="YUV420P8"' to the end of the source path doesn't help (MeGUI still crashes).

@LCM,
Latest LSMash, give it a try:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...93#post1988293
Probably a lot more recent than auto updated (That thread has lotsa new ver$ tools) for MeGUI.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Thanks for the idea, Bender, er, StainlessS; I'll try it out after work then report back.

Not Bender, but the tin man from the Wizard of Oz.

[StainlessS]

Not Bender

Yep, and where I'm from, "Bender" could be taken as a bit of an insult.

Futurama (I dont have a TV), is not the first thing that came to mind the first time that LCM used the word.

EDIT: To below, no offense taken [I dont recall discusssing that topic before, perhaps I was a bit pissed]

[LouieChuckyMerry]

StainlessS: I explained this once years ago: the combination of your avatar (I know he's Jack Haley as The Tin Man) and "I sometimes post sober." make me hear Bender's (well, John DiMaggio's) voice in my head when I read your posts. Absolutely zero offense intended and I apologize if you are .

Snatched the newest L-SMASH thanks to StainlessS's--say that fast five times--suggestion but MeGUI still crashes as soon as I select a preset script, and now it doesn't even leave an .avs file (it used to).

I don't know if someone already reported this, but there is a problem with hardcoded subtitles.
I have tried to re-convert an old movie (mp4) with hardcoded subtitles (ssa). After loading the subtitle and clicking on "Preview AVS Script" I get the following message:

AvySinth Script error:
Plugin was designed for a later version of Avisynth (8)

I have MeGUI 2944 (x64) and updated according to "Development update server"
I think the problem lies in the AviSynth plugin version 13 because I didn't have this problem with version 11.
Is there any solution for this? Or at least be able to downgrade AviSynth plugin to version 11?

Thanks.

The problem can be in the VSFilter.dll v3.2.0.806 than need a new AviSynth version still not verified with MeGUI.

You can extract the VSFilter.dll v3.1.0.801 from Megui 2913 (with the plugins v11 package) and replace it in ...megui\tools\avisynth_plugin folder.
I tested it and work fine.

Or you can install the last AviSynth+ v3.7.3 r4003 and a new AviSynthWrapper.dll and use it instead the MeGUI default AviSynth+ v3.5.1 included.
Verified ok also.

Thanks for your help.
I've already installed that version of AviSynth and it didn't work (although I think I didn't add a new AviSynthWrapper.dll... is it mandatory?).
I'll downgrade the VSFilter.dll and see how it goes.
Thanks.

Yep, you need replace it with https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...17#post1913117

REQUEST: Is it possible to add a zoom factor larger than 1:1 to the preview window?

Working with SD material on a 4k screen gives just such a tiny preview window that it's very hard to see how good or bad my filtering scripts work.

[hello_hello]

LeXXuz,
It'd be handy, but you could always temporarily add resizing to the end of your script. This would give you a 3x zoom:
Spline36Resize(width()*3, height()*3)

[Barough]

@LeXXuz Make the request over at MeGUI's Sourceforge page.

That's what I'm doing actually.
The annoyance here is that I often compare source and filtered version.

So I have to switch between two scripts instead of just pressing the "reopen original video" button. Problem this way is I often make temporary tweaks in my stored scripts which are gone when I have to switch to a 2nd script with just an upsizer to compare source and filtered version.

With the "open original video" button MeGUI keeps my script with the latest tweaks but displays a tiny source video.

Hence my wish and suggestion for a permanent zoom setting in the preview window.
