MeGUI Problem loading File

[cjh1452000]

Ok, I'm trying to convert a 1080p mkv to 720p. I've already demuxed the video from .mkv into a m2ts video file with tsmuxer.

I then created an avisynth script file to load into MeGUI that allows me to add borders and resize to 1280x720 (original file was 1920x816 and i have to add borders in order to make my final output file blu-ray compliant).

Here's my script, it has worked for resizing other 1080p's I have:

DirectShowSource("C:\input.m2ts",fps=25,audio=fals e)
#deinterlace
Lanczos4Resize(1280,544).addborders(0,88,0,88)

Keep in mind that I'm changing the frame rate after I have the 720p encoded (from 25fps to 23.976 to be blu-ray compliant).

Now, when I load this script, MeGUI just hangs and doesn't do anything. I've tried the using m2ts, and even loading the original mkv file, but neither file works. I even tried making a raw .264 file, which also does not work. Is my source file screwed or am I missing something here?

Are you running XP or Vista?

The reason I ask is that I have a problem with MeGui crashing when I load up an avs script. I have Vista.

Will media player play/open your m2ts file via .avs script?

If you are asking me, no it crashes too.

Try using XviD4PSP instead or demux and use an AviSynth script using DGAVCDec and feed that into MeGui.

Before you declare your source officially screwed, there's a few things you can try at least.

Try muxing your video stream into an MP4 container using MP4Box. I have never had a problem with MeGUI accepting MP4. If your audio is AC3 you can always remux it in the end (or re-encode if necessary separately).

How are you changing your framerate? Maybe that's what's annoying MeGUI. To change the framerate easily in your script, and even without throwing the audio out of sync, you can try:
ChangeFPS(23.976)

Another thing you can try is go to:
Options->Settings->Program Paths and check that everything is linked accordingly. Sometimes a small change you may have made throws it off and it hangs. Happened to me.

Or maybe you're having a decoder issue with ffdshow, Haali, CoreAVC, or whatever you're using. This may need a change of settings or a re-install.

PS: When you do get it working, I hope you're using the blu-ray profiles in MeGUI otherwise there's a chance your streams will not work in BD players even with the correct rez and fps. Just making sure.

Your media player crashes?
Try by changing your .m2ts extension to .mpg see if that works.....
I had an .m2ts file in an.avs script that MPC wouldn't play,changed extension and it worked ..you never know try it....
I've also created a VOB with MKV2VOB and used that as my DirectShowSource and it worked..I know it's an extra step but whatever works right?
