I tried both and got the same result, so x264 must accept either format. After you said sar and dar are pretty much the same thing and thinking over how my test encodes are coming out, I concluded it 100% has to be x264 creating the mkv with that dar and by opening the output with mkvtoolnix...

Oh ok, so you only set one or the other. I thought what you were saying in the posts about this was that the ideal way was to set sar in x264 and set dar in container literally to 1:1. If I set sar and do not touch dar, my output.mkv has a 2.665(1279/480) dar for some reason and the picture is...

I hate to ask this again, but Im stumped over the SAR and DAR stuff. I have since moved away from the win10 environment using MeguiIVit and my custom Megui setup. My goal is to get this setup in Linux, 100% manual and command line, as free and open source as possible, but got stuck needing...

Damn, I was looking forward to an HD rip, but this new 720p encode is significantly worse quality than the 480p DVD encode. It at least lacks the goofy ass preg*.com url watermark randomly throughout the DVD encode. The filesize does give it away, but I had to see for myself.

Caught this topic from the sidebar and had to chime in after reading this. This is beyond aggravating and I experience the same thing. There have been so many times with FileJoker's captcha's that I have been told "sorry try again" that I've paid attention and am 100% sure that I am selecting...

QTGMC is great. I'm still surprised it's able to recreate image data based on interlaced frames and create an excellent looking 60fps encode in the vast majority of situations. It's like a form of AI learning which is a concept just introduced recently with technology in general. I made a...

I used Megui years ago, so I was already slightly familiar with it. I grabbed the latest version of it, qtgmc and all its plugins, qaac for audio, x264 for video, etc. Set them each up (It will take time researching and reading, if you aren't familiar with this already. You can get stuck at...

Original post by Choko has a proper rip. This last one is 1080p video at just over 1000 bitrate. It's so bitrate starved it looks like there's a mosaic filter over the entire picture for the entire length of the video.

I simply switched to the mkv container as a test and the encode plays back properly. Properties show 16:9 ratio and the video output is displayed at the proper size. This led me to believe it's tied to mp4 muxing (mp4box). Like you said, I found out that mp4box calculates aspect ratio a...

Thanks Sam. Cool to see you're still posting here. I'm seeing how complicated this stuff can be. In general, you pretty much have to be able to write custom scripts at least once, to get video conversions proper. The aspect ratio stuff is confusing me, because it's coming out differently...

I almost have my own current up to date MeGUI setup going using the same components as MeguIVit here, but Im still perfecting it and trying to get QTGMC working. I have a few questions: In the first post, the feature list says: Anamorphic video output (720 pixel width) with aspect ratio...

Works now, thanks!

Had my eyes out for this for awhile. Thank you. I'm having trouble with part 4 though. Tried a couple different pc's, but FileJoker always sends a 7byte file instead of the 182mb file. I see a handful of thanks already, but no one else mentioned this. Anyone know what's up?

SamKook, When using MKV as source, mkvinfo.exe crashes and it does not process audio or chapters in the source. I can't update the exe in your version because it seems to extract built in files on the fly as its run which doesnt allow updating individual components. Any chance of an update...

Thank you for sharing this is ISO and doing so via torrent! DVD Decryptor shows programs chains 3 and 4 are corrupt. Ripping the main program chain (#2) results in an empty vob file. Is the ISO corrupt?

Thanks for explaining all those components. In my free time I will keep trying to figure out the individuals. I'm running Win8.1 (64bit). This version runs properly without errors. I changed the x264 settings to my usual Very Slow and CRF 18, and it encoded properly without errors. Looks...

I was recently attempting to recreate this setup manually using latest of everything and figure out what Vit was using and how to use it, because I am getting rips with strange aspect ratios (I'm not sure if that had to do with me updating individual components like x264), and it is looking like...

If you are referring to the chapter information issue, I also rip to mp4, since I don't do any advanced subtitle stuff. But I have more accurate info now that I have been paying attention to it. I've done a few encodes sessions recently where I've encoded two movies and MeguIVit imported the...

Anyone else have trouble working with this iso? First program chain rips with errors, and the rest do not rip proper vobs.

I'm noticing the chapter file information is not properly imported sometimes. The issue doesn't happen all the time (rough estimate, it seems to work properly 75% of my rips) and I have not noticed what triggers it yet. It has just gotten to a point where it's starting to annoy me when it...

I tried that VideoCheck program. I can't believe it can't play vob files. That is the most important comparison to make; Your encode against the source material. That is far more important then comparing two encodes. It's also frustrating that you can't choose a section of video to evaluate...

I have a separate pc that I use as an htpc and an encoding box. It runs Win7 SP1 (64bit). I assume since the clean setup worked, there may have been other changes I made within MeguIVit in the past that created a conflict. Yeah, that VideoCheck tool would be helpful. Or it would be nice to...

The second method gave me errors saying the path or filename was invalid when trying to drag&drop or copy/paste into the Open dialogue, then eventually caused the program to crash whenever clicking any "..." button, so I created a fresh MeguIVit setup and was able to update x264 the original way...

This mainly came to mind, because I'm noticing encodes of gravure dvds are usually 1.5-2GBs or larger nowadays, and that is just too large for a 90 minute, 480p, 60fps encode and I want to optimize my setup. I want high quality and use Vit's Quality+1 video encoding preset, since he mentioned...

This tool has served me well over the years. I understand Vit has had to move on from this tool (thank you sir and everyone else involved for simplifying a complex process for the masses), but I'm looking to piece together a setup which does the same job, but with updated individual tools...

Hopping back on it. Will be active when possible. Btw, are the rest of Yoko's releases still going to be shared here?

Not only am I excited to see another ISO torrent post by Manmanx, but a BDISO of Anri? I bow to thee. :bow-pray:

fighting... urge... to download. Hoping an... ISO... pops up... YYYAAARRGGGHHHHHH :donotwant:

Damn, I noticed beta 4 came out this month last year this month and had my fingers crossed for an update. I actually had that "what am I going to do now?" sinking feeling after reading your post, haha. I'll think of something. I'm staying with Win8, because of an unexpected improvement...

I recently wiped my system drive and installed Windows 8 (64bit). Until this point, I had been using the setup we got working about a year and a half ago (within Win7 64bit) in this thread. The working meguIVit folder still exists on another hard drive. When I attempt to run it I get an app...

Thanks for the extra dlls. The encode now starts. On my machine a pre-render usually takes about 90-120, minutes with default settings. With your settings you mentioned, it estimates a 8-10 hour run. These settings must add some serious processing! Unfortunately I haven't been able to see...

Probably due to music/mp3 encoding, I've assumed "depends on the source" in video encoding terms to be referring to simply if the source is DVD or a random already compressed video file. (i.e. relative to the lossless or lossy source phrasing more commonly used in the audio world, since...

I was testing your preferred settings for 480p to see if I can tell a difference in quality from the defaults and what the file size difference would be, but the video encoding couldn't start because of an error involving ftww3.dll. I've narrowed it down to changing just the Noise Processing...

I'm happy to see you are working on this again! I gave it a quick test run with a small 2 minute vob and this updated version worked out of the box (you may remember the troubleshooting we did with beta 3). Though I'm assuming the new setup was used. The main window still says beta 3 and I...

I can finally stop making my daily rounds looking for this to show up! :yahoo: Though, on second thought I will probably still look for the dvd. Thank you, thank you! and a triple thanks for making it high quality and 60fps.

Here we go. Great quality on your two recent Anri releases. (this and http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?t=958761). I started doing my own rips because the quality of a lot of rips available for download was unnecessarily low. This looks like the quality I was getting with mine...

Hey Vit, I have a few questions. But first would like to say that the final stability issue was with the number of threads. It hasn't crashed since I started changing it from Auto to 8 everytime. I wish it saved that setting! So maybe the Auto setting was choosing a number that was too high...

I meant that my OS is on an ssd by itself. The ripping is done on a standard hdd. That's another weird issue I've heard lately involving ssd. I just found out part of Creatives issues with their sound card drivers involves having an ssd. And knowing Creative they'll half fix it in a year or...

Well, I have been doing all those things on that list, isityours. My os is on a separate ssd. I reboot, run nothing except Meguivit and go do something else (like watch tv or play a console game), so there's no other cpu stress or disk transfers. Prerendering is checked, I think it's on by...

Neat, so if the source is interlaced (which up until this point, I hated running into interlaced sources) this setup can make a 60fps encode. Which is good for gravure dvds. Not so common with ntsc movies. Though I have dvd's in mind. I haven't looked into blurays yet, so I'm not sure if the...

and yep, the last problem was because of the overclock on my cpu. That's crazy because I had read up extensively on overclocking my 1090t. With a better third party cooler, I had it at 3.8GHz at 1.45 vcore and that was a common point to hit from my research. There were a lot of people getting...

I wanted to check in, since troubleshooting from this point forward will take big chunks of time. That updated AviSynth dll appears to resolve the original mencoder.exe runtime error! However, now I'm getting a different crash several minutes into video encoding. I have tried a few times...

The fix to the Avisynth script worked. I no longer get the Avisynth error when set to use 1 main thread. However, I get the runtime error when encoding video again. Before this troubleshooting, it consistently happened around the 40 frame mark. Now it happens consistently around the 290...

ok, I deleted the sandbox and extracted a fresh meguivitb3 sandbox. The first test by checking ffmpeg results in the same runtime error dialogue, it just points to ffmpeg.exe instead of mencoder.exe. I unchecked that ffmpeg setting to put it back to its original setting and tried the second...

Hi, I am using MeguIVit for the first time and having issues getting it to complete an encode. I downloaded beta 3 and followed the installation instructions posted in the thread. I then followed the picture tutorial, so all I really did was drag and drop the .vob file as the input, and...
