Megui alternatives?

[beav]

Lately I've been having a lot of problems with megui and was wondering if anybody knows of a good alternative? I want to be able to use 10 bit x264 and my avisynth scripts still though. I just dont know of anything as good as megui. Handbrake sucks as well as other video converters.

MediaCoder?

I don't really want to find an alternative for MeGUI, but lately the encodes keep getting errors when processing. I don't know if posting my log file will help.

Hmm maybe a problem with DEP or possible bad RAM stick.

Yes I don't understand why i just bought this 6 core computer and everything is set up correctly. A couple days ago the encodes were fine, i could finish an encode without errors in 20 minutes. Now the speed slowly goes down while processing until finally i get error under status tab in MeGUI.

maybe it's a problem with my avisynth script. Did i use avisynth_mt correctly in it?
# Set DAR in encoder to 4 : 3. The following lines are for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 4
global MeGUI_dary = 3

Is it a bug in megui? It says status access violation error or something like that in the log file

why don't you copy/paste what it exactly says

you can always debug your problem starting from simple things to eliminate Avisynth or x264 first,
like just testing your script in VD or MPC-HC (sure it will be slow but just to check for errors) then you advance to very simple command line like: x264 --crf=25 --out.mp4 input.avs

I can't help with the errors your getting but have you tried ripbot264? If memory serves you can use any avisynth script with it.

try to update megui current version is 2402 (yours 2356)

also use avisynth without MT, it is slower but safer, megui updater will install avisynth 2.6.0.a5

Try running MeGui in administrator (right click on shortcut -> run as administrator).

I need to do this to allow updates and also to be sure there are no problems. 99% of errors disapeared for me when I do this. It's especially true when you are using programs installed in "Program Files" directory (like avisynth in your case)

[beav]

Thanks guys! updating didn't help, but running the program as administrator worked. That would make sense considering its an access violation error.
