MeGUI encoding error

[kadyn67]

At the end of my first pass I get this message, does anyone know why?

[poisondeathray]

what version of megui? what version of x264.exe ?

does your .avs script preview ok in a media player? can you seek to the end without problems?

post your avs script

test your memory integrity with memtest86+ , maybe you have a bad stick

have you ever completed a successful 1st pass?

you should try tests on a shorter clip (or use trim() in your avs script), until you get this sorted out

[kadyn67]

what version of megui? Megui 0.3.4.0
what version of x264.exe ? not sure what you mean but it was going to be a mp4
does your .avs script preview ok in a media player? yes, media player classic
I just noticed that the timer stops at 1:40:21 and the video is still playing for a about 4 or 5 seconds at the end.
have you ever completed a successful 1st pass? yes in the past with dvdr's but I have just since reinstalled it and so this would be my first time i guess.
original script:

DirectShowSource("C:\Program Files\JDownloader\downloads\Daddys.Little.Girls.2007.720p.BluRay.x264-REVEiLLE\rev-dlg.x264.mkv", audio=false)

ran it throught gardian knot for resizing perposes:

You're using an old build, there have been reports of crashes on some older builds, especially some combinations of x264.

0.3.4.15 is the newest of today . , x264 is at r1629 (when you check settings=> update you can check your x264 version)

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151159

you can change the update server to and "develpment sever" http://www.constructd.com/megui/

I just noticed that the timer stops at 1:40:21 and the video is still playing for a about 4 or 5 seconds at the end.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Does it play like that when you play the original file? or is there an error in your script ? or is it normal (blank video) ?


Before you update, with your current setup, try a shorter encode (instead of wasting 13 hours), to narrow down the problem. If it completes, then it suggests somehting is wrong with your source, or your script, and less likely a system issue. If it hangs, it suggests another issue, like x264 version, system issue, or memory issue etc....

maybe an error in the script? I'm not sure.
or is it normal (blank video) ? no
timer just stops but not video for the last few seconds
I'll try the suggested and report back later, thanks

While rebooting my computer, i got the same kind of application error message about gardian knot. maybe that has something to do with it?

[poisondeathray]

I don't know; I don't use GK

You don't even need it, all you have that is active in your script is AVISource(), Crop, and Undot() - the rest is commented out (#)

If you keep on getting these memory error messages in different applications , that suggests a memory corruption issue. As suggested earlier, try memtest, memtest 86+ or some other memory testing program.

I just encoded a Xvid BRRrip and it turned out good. Think I'll just hold out on encoding an h264 until I get a better computer. The memory issue is probably due to the fact I'm working on a Samsung N120.

Thanks for your replies, much appreciated.

I've since reinstalled MeGui and encoded successfully.
