MeGUI's Queue has jobs working but no output?

[dr_ml422]

I'm using MEGUI to encode. I've had success w/the H.264 encoding of DVD videos. Now I'm using it to try and encode the DVD videos to Xvid and producing a .avi file, but no matter what settings I use there's no result whatsoever even while the Queue has jobs processing and working and finishes saying it's done.

Now how can your PC be working on something, tell you it's working on something, and finish working on something and produce no results?

Someone here ever run into this w/anything? When they say that MeGUI can convert to other formats are they saying it can convert from many to H.264, or can be used to convert different files into different formats?

IE: From DVD to Xvid resulting in a .avi file? I used the correct settings afaik and the AVI container. I'm done. If any answers or suggestions post them.

I can't stand looking for something that's not there for Pete's sake. This got to me.


Ok I did some more research and found a DVD to Xvid MeGUI guide. It's a lil old but it basically mentioned the possibilities of having issues depending on the source DVD files and Xvid settings etc... in MeGUI. So I'll be playing w/some different settings here and there. See what happens. Seems it gets trickier w/Xvid than what it originally was intended for.

Itmt if any of you guys can come up w/some more updated info regarding the Xvid conversion let me know. 1 thing I have to admit. The MP4 conversion w/this is immaculate and no issues whatsoever at all. Windows 7 x64 Home. I recommend this baby monster for H.264. It seems daunting at 1st but after a few tries you should be good to go.

This is in Windows 7 (64-bit), right?

Can you post the MeGUI logs?

Here's the 1 that was broken into 25 min. segments in the DVD. At least the Log can tell you something.

I think these can give you a idea of maybe a better setting in the Xvid profile. The MP4 as I posted is working great.

[admin]

It's the "*-muxed.avi" files that you should be looking for (they're the final output files), and it's located in C:\Users\DR. MFC 7-64\Videos\.

On the "AutoEncode" setup window, you can specify the output location of the final output file if you don't want it to be saved to the default location (your User\Videos folder).

[dr_ml422]

That's what I'm talking about. The whole MeGUI went through the jobs and everything, completed them afaik, and said done for all. I go look for the muxed.avi files they're no where. Not in USERS ... Not in Videos in Library... No where there are muxed.avi files. My user folder has same videos in it as my Library folder. All MP4 of same ones I tried to convert to Xvid. No issues w/MP4. They all were completed and muxed.

Here's a link to a old Guide at AD that I read a little while ago. It does say that Xvid can be difficult to convert in MeGUI. If you have any other recommended settings let me know. Guess there's many to convert and encode all formats.

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/me_gui_convert_to_xvid.cfm

[admin]

In AutoEncode, try to specify a different location for the final output file, say somewhere like c:\temp\ (create this folder if it doesn't exist). It could be a folder permission issue (with avimux_gui, which MeGUI uses to mux the AVI file), in which case another solution might be to run MeGUI in Administrator mode.

I'll try running some tests in Windows 7 64-bit and see if I can recreate the problem.

[admin]

Managed to recreate the problem. It's definitely AVIMux GUI, as with MP4, a different software (MP4Box) is used to multiplex the audio and video streams together into the final output file.

Trying to see if there's a solution ...

[dr_ml422]

I'm encoding right now on my new build. I set the Xvid profile to Xvid 2 pass(Balanced) instead of HT. I also hit analyse to see what recommendations MeGUI would have. Slightly interlaced so Deinterlaced was checked by MeGUI. I still used the Lame MP3 128 Kbs Audio profile by Nero, but I didn't check off Ffdshow on the MP3 settings in the Tweak Guide. It came up w/a warning about possible issues w/WMP and Media Center at playback. It offered a work around, but i'll leave that alone for now. I still left the output to C:drive. It worked w/the MP4 so lets keep it for now.

There's no harm if nothing comes out. I'll be patient and try new profiles and your suggestion next about Admin Rights/other folder. It's funny that although Xvid should go to a AVI container I don't know why in the AD Guide they said it can go in a MP4 as well.

Doesn't make too much sense, but they also said MeGUI will make you re-encode.

Many left this MeGUI alone after just 1 guide or so. I think it's awesome, and it does offer pop up suggestions when you don't know what you're doing. IE: Me. Lol...

I'm sticking w/it and once I get this Xvid we'll be able to help some one else. As long as the MP4 is taking it's all good. It wouldn't be in Xbox or PS3 if it wasn't going standard.

[dr_ml422]

Crazy how it would finish as a Ghost file.

There was somewhere I'm not sure if it was your guide about adding the Audio later. Maybe that's the ticket. It'll be figured out soon enough. Pays to solve it. Many still will be using Xvid and other profiles. I want to know I can do it just asa fall back or as a alternative for now before I go all out w/the whole Hi-Def thing. It's time to make my builds use all their potential. lots of it too.

Good news and bad news.

Found a fix via the AVI-Mux GUI FAQ:

http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/en_faq.php (it's the second one from bottom, for Vista).

You need to go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\avimux_gui", right click on the AVIMux_GUI.exe file, select Properties -> Compatibility -> and select run this program in "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" compatibility mode". Do this, and the AVI will be created.

The bad news is that you might have to re-encode everything again, as the "intermediate" files (the temp files created during encoding) may have been deleted already, and so you can't just manually mux the files together. A future solution to this problem is to disable the deletion of intermediate files (from the "Options" drop down menu, select "Settings", there's an checkbox for "Delete intermediate files", uncheck it. What this means is that after every encode, you'll get a bunch of other files in the same folder as your D2V/AVS file (for your example, one .avi, one .mp3), and then you can use the Tools -> Muxer -> AVI Muxer to manually join the video and audio streams into the final output.

[dr_ml422]

Nothing's crashing though. It goes straight through as if everything's fine. Funny guy in answering last question. "I have no idea." Also are you suggesting the compatibility mode before the whole encoding takes place? If so and this is the fix then why would the intermediate files be deleted if this makes the AVI-MUX GUI work? You mean me and my files if I still have some to re-encode? I deleted all of them except this one comin here soon.

[admin]

Yes, you just need to set the compatibility mode once and it won't bother you again. It doesn't crash, but the program starts and the exits without a warning message.

The intermediate files thing is not necessary if avi-mux GUI works (which it should after the compatibility mode is changed), I was just putting it out there in case somebody might need to know. For your situation though, I would recommend keeping the intermediate files until you know for sure that that final AVI file is created properly by MeGUI/AVI-Mux GUI, as if it still doesn't work, you'll have to re-encode everything again the third time as opposed to being manually able to mux.

So in short, do the compatibility changes, change the intermediate file setting in MeGUI, do the encoding again and if the AVI file is create (the *-muxed.avi file), then you can delete all the other files and then change the intermediate file setting back to "delete".

[dr_ml422]

Ok. I got it. I'll save this as a.txt on my PC. Knew something was up.


Yes it worked in Windows XP SP3 Compatibility mode. Took way longer than the MP4 file of even the same flic. Came out really nice just like the MP4. So I'll be having my hands full from now on converting. I'll just leave all my .iso files as is and take it from here. I didn't think I would get into conversion and so I stored all my flics as .iso so ImgBurn can queue and burn them quickly. Live and learn.

[puding]

Sorry to bump, but Its a little bit hard to find the same discussion about that.

I have the same stupid issue, even after 3 years. The file is not being created. And its happens only with ****ing XVID.

Its the same situation as the owner: .vob files from dvd (my OWN dvd, not any commercial dvd)...

Any solutions?
