meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

[Vitreous]

Your computer crashes a lot - what are you doing to it? But yeah, those two encodes went without a hitch, although you went back to two pass?. Anyways, thanks for the info.

 

[monteyuma]

I get this C++ Runtime Error (transparent window) crashing meguiVit 0.2.1, always after around 3-5% have been processed (of this small test file).

Doesn't matter if I use mencoder or FFmpeg. OS is Vista, 64bit. The original meguiV (v1.0.1.1) works fine.

-------------------------------------------------------

I want to show you guys the results of the little test, which shows how fucking great TempGaussMC is compared to yadif as a deinterlacer.
(Sorry to reduce meguiV to offering TGMC as it's main feature here, I know there is more behind it. It's just using TGMC is virtually impossible to "normal users" without this thread and the meguiV you guys provided them with).

Watch these two 19s (mkv) samples and you'll immediately see why TGMC is so awesome (on a side note though: encoding with it takes about 4 times longer):

Watch test-meguiV-18-TGMC.rar first and then test-stax-18-yadif.rar.

Simply AMAZING! :XD:

That's a slow encoding speed... What the spec of your machine? And what One-Click setting are you using?

Some people are reporting crashes on 64-bit Win7, although many are using it fine and I can't reproduce any problems. Still, have you tried the Win7 64-bit alternates under "Installation / Upgrade" in the main MeguIVit post? They might help, they might not.

Regarding Yadif vs (Q)TGMC, I wholeheartedly agree. It still surprises me that many people who can write their own AviSynth scripts still use Yadif as a default deinterlacer.

 

[monteyuma]

Haha no, the encoding speed is fine, the time/fps just keeps running/accumulating after it crashes. It's a Q6600 and the standard settings (tried slightly different ones too, same thing).

Didn't try those older versions yet, might give it a try though (hoping if those work maybe you can fix it for the newer versions)

It would be cool btw, if one could just update x264 or other moduls like mkvmerge etc (but the encoder particularly) manually... less dependency of/"pressure" for the tool authors to push out up-to-date versions

FWIW, recently I tried meguVIT on my brother's 64-bit Win 7 Ultimate PC. Finished two videos without any hitches. The QTGMC setting was 60fps Slower+Light Edgeclean and x264 was 480p 60fps standard, just in case the crashes are preset specific.

Sounds to me like monteyuma is experiencing a race condition. Those are a pain to track down.

How much RAM do you have? Low memory conditions cause almost immediate crashes like that one. Although that's usually with extra-complex settings.

Could you report your success with the alternates - my suspicion, as always, is that it is avisynth.dll at fault, the alternates use different versions of it. Also make sure you're not running any background tasks that hit the disk you're encoding to (P2P apps, Windows defender, whatever), as I've noticed that's a problem.

This topic came up earlier, and this post explains the potential problems with updating tools without updating the GUI at the same time. It's already difficult to track down problems in the system because of the number of tools involved. If those tools were all at different versions, it would become impossible. However, it's easy to update a tool manually if you must. You'll find most of them in:

Sandbox\meguIV\1.0.1.1\Virtual\MODIFIED\@SYSDRIVE@\meguIV\MeGUI\tools

Unfortunately both the A and B alternative versions crash with a message similar to this every time:

Excellent, that's exactly what I was thinking of!
(though at the moment no Vit version is working for me, only the vanilla meguiV)

 

[Vitreous]

Unfortunately both the A and B alternative versions crash with a message similar to this every time:

There is only one instruction in MeguIVit: choose a one-click preset beginning with [Vit]. You chose "[IV] Best Quality", the legacy setting from original MeguIV. The error you got is something I should look at, but should be irrelevant to one-click rippers as 'VerticalCleaner' is not used in the [Vit] settings.

 

[Vitreous]

I'm getting exactly the same problem as Monteyuma using ver 0.2.1 on my 64 bit Win7. I get the C+++ error immediately at the start of the first pass. The encoder keeps running but quickly slows down to a crawl.
I will experiment with trying a single pass...

Do you mean the "blank" error message shown in this post? Notice that on that error, the encoder had managed to process 22 frames. Does yours manage to process any frames? (the fps is of no importance)

Both you and monteyuma could try installing the C++ redistributables in this post.

EDIT: And noticing your recent thanks, others having early crashes should also look at the point at the bottom of this post. It that solves anything for people, I'd like to know...

 

[Vitreous]

I'm quite pleased that I am able to now rip longer vids by skipping the first pass.

Ah, of course - going one pass removes mencoder/ffmpeg and a huge amount of disk access - any of which might be the cause of the problems.

1-pass doesn't skip any processing, it just does it all at the same time. Which means it's only going to work on decent machines (requires more RAM, plus uses many more threads) - so it won't be an option for some. And you'd need an epic machine to rip HD in 1-pass (when that becomes available in a later MeguIVit).

I do have a couple of questions. Is it possible to set up MeguIVIT 0.2.1 so that the default container is mp4, and the pre-render first pass is skipped?

Yes, press the config button by the One-Click profile. Make the changes you need (deselect pre-render in the Encoding Setup tab, and uncheck MKV in the Container Type tab). Then press New at the bottom and give your new profile a name. Use this profile to rip from then on...

 

[Vitreous]

Those of you who frequent my corner of AO will have seen that I've quit posting material to AO. However, I'll still visit and will remain somewhat active in this thread. QuickTGMC is very widely used outside of AO now, so it will still be supported. I also use MeguIVit for myself so it will still get occasional development and I'll keep the links fresh. I'll still answer tech queries too (maybe a bit more slowly though).

 

[no__One]

This is a very great news.

When I see the fabulous progress in quality ... Everything I learned ... and all thanks to your generosity.

While affected by your withdrawal from the world of upload, I am more than honored that you stay with us even less active.

As I said before, just knowing that you could guide us on "this tortuous path that is the Video Rip". It's huge, awesome!

Thank you again for all your contributions and your help which particularly advanced me a lot.

Install DivX

For what it may be worth so some of the people having trouble playing these high-quality rips on their lower-end machines, I have stumbled on a solution.

I have a 3.0Ghz Pentium IV with 2.0Gb of ram, and even the 'light' versions of these videos wouldn't play without drop-outs and pixellizing, until I tried installing the DivX codec pack, and now even the 'heavy' 60fps versions will play.

I hope this helps a few people.

 

[Vitreous]

... I tried installing the DivX codec pack, and now even the 'heavy' 60fps versions will play.

DivX is the fastest free codec I've tried. But be aware that it connects to the internet every time you play a video. Even if you switch off auto-updates. A firewall will stop it, but I find that behavior concerning.

 

[SamKook]

I just tried the new 1.0.1.1 version and I'm happy to see I can still make it work fine(if I use SSE ddls instead of SSE3 ones) with my old computer and the speed is much faster.

It took me 65 hours to encode a 1h58 mins movie instead of 71 hours for a 1h 33mins movie using v0.05.

Thanks again for this great tool.

On my next encode, I'll try to see if I can make the vitreous mods work with only SSE, maybe I'll get slightly more reasonable encoding time.

Ouch!

What's your specs? My Phenom II takes 8 hours for a 2 hour movie.

If you are going to be doing a lot of encoding, it might be very worth it in the long run to get a cheap Athlon II X4. Yes, you need to spend money to upgrade, but the amount of work done per unit of electricity is a lot better. Especially if your current CPU is something power hungry like a Pentium 4...

 

[SamKook]

What's your specs?

I have an old athlon 2800+. I think it's now 7 or 8 years old, but I don't have any money to spare for a new computer right now and the electricity is included in my rent so it doesn't cost me more.

I don't do much JAV encoding so it's ok for only a movie now and then with my current setup.

[isityours]

looks like one of three things:

1. online translation.
2. translated by someone with insufficient japanese skills.
3. translated by someone with insufficient english skill.

although it is not unintelligible, it does not seem to be translated by someone with the necessary attributes required. ie intricate knowledge of jap/eng and rudimentary knowledge of encoding.

i think this sentence illustrates my suspicions:

ps: I hope the translation am understandable for my Japanese friends - 私は私の日本の友人のために理解しやすい翻訳AMを望む

although the english sentence is incorrect, the translation would not contain the same mistake "AM". indicating that it was translated automatically from english to japanese.
