What's wrong with using AviSynth and VirtualDub, and then rendering out using MeGUI? That doesn't re-encode while editing; just the final render to x264, as the OP wants.

Doesn't it??

Is it as simple as going to MeGUI's Options|Settings|Extra Config, opening 'Configure Servers' under 'Auto Update', and choosing 'Development' from the pull-down?

Isn't one of the issues the fact that the OP doesn't know he can upgrade to 2037 and not need DGMultiDecodeNV anymore? Otherwise it's a stalemate, isn't it?

Here are two chunks of the same TS that contain something -- I'm almost certain it's the hard subs -- that makes the "% Film" drop. http://www.mediafire.com/file/p7s7jysz2eo455q/c-ti-jp_clip_21.ts http://www.mediafire.com/file/l8i3bbw3iel3z2o/c-ti-jp_clip_33.ts Will these not mess with Force Film?

Here are two 50 MB samples, cut from the original transport stream with DGSplit:

RE: Force Film I never knew exactly how Force Film worked, so I had no idea it would be better or faster! I don't know how I missed that. RE: Windowed Algorithm Good to know I'm not an idiot for thinking up this way of adaptive field matching. Even better to know you've thought it up! RE: Sample Cli...

Ran an HDTV capture through DGIndexNV (which found it better than 99% film). Set correct field order using AssumeTFF()/SeparateFields(). Used Telecide(guide=1) and Decimate(cycle=5) to get 24 fps (well, 23.976 fps). Checked hundreds of frames to confirm all was well. Spend a long time doing some cus...

I've found that indexing some MPEG-2 files is pretty slow, but I'd agree that indexing h264 stuff is quick. admin, now that I think about it, it's quite likely I started the day with a version older than 2035, indexed a couple of files, then found that it wouldn't index an MKV with compressed header...

One might argue, then, that making a quick fix to the DGI (soon to be thwarted by a CRC check...) should also not introduce errors in delivered frame locations, trims, etc., between versions, and thus should perhaps be unofficially allowed (but not "supported") for those who know what to tweak where...

For a given "non-broken" video stream, will there usually be a material difference between the index files produced by two different versions of DGIndexNV? I would assume not, but I don't *know*. One of the reasons I avoid re-indexing is because I fear (perhaps irrationally) that any tricky Avisynth...

Best way to get good advice on the Internet? State loudly and unequivocally your own wrong way of doing it... I was hoping you'd mention what the risks are -- increased support nightmares is one I'm very sorry I didn't think of. Doing what I suggested worked for the streams I have, but it's clear th...

Maybe it's not quite kosher, but instead of re-indexing, I often (OK, always) [REDACTED].

Seems to work fine...

You know you're a nerd when your first coherent thought on a Saturday is, "Ooh, look! A new version of DGIndexNV that fixes my problem! Gotta download and try it!"

Downloading and trying...

(Thanks!)

Great news! Nice work. I still find it absolutely remarkable how relentless you are in improving your product. I suspect DGIndexNV users don't really understand how spoiled they are: point out a flaw on Monday -- one not even directly caused by DGIndexNV, even -- and it's basically fixed by Friday. ...

I see. Makes sense that it worked fine in this particular case, then, because the main question (that I had, anyway) was if the split file would open at all. Whether or not the file would be robust at the split point was a question that didn't even cross my mind. Glad to know the disease has been id...

Why isn't it valid to split an MKV with DGSplit? That's not me being argumentative -- I'm truly wondering. Because it worked, and the results in this case were consistent with the hypothesis...

Sorry -- missed your post in the process of drafting my own!

OK, I took the file that crashes DGIndexNV, split off a 50 MB chunk with DGSplit 1.2, confirmed the split chunk also crashed DGINV, and have uploaded it to Mediafire. It's here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gcoxufg1jd769jd I also tried remuxing the split chunk, as follows: • no video header compression...

Well, it looks like mastrboy has correctly identified the problem! I took one of the files that didn't play nicely with DGIndexNV (the one that crashed it, in fact), re-muxed it in mkvmerge with both video and audio compression explicitly set to 'none', and it then opens fine in DGIndexNV. admin, Is...

I'll give that a try, as well. I did discover that I myself made an MKV file that also couldn't be parsed correctly, and I did use mkvmerge to mux it, so this certainly bears investigating.

Roger that. I'll get on that this evening. (Thanks!)

I was astonished to find three video files today that wouldn't open in DGIndexNV. All three are WEB-DL MKV files with AC3 audio that play fine in MPC-HC and VLC. Two throw an "MPEG1 not supported" error, and end relatively gracefully. The other looks to have loaded fine until you try to play the fil...

It's all a matter of priorities. [...] When MP4 is done, negotiation can begin on priorities for the remaining ones. I'll post this now, but you can read it when MP4 is done... ;) The order I'd like to see is: WTV DVR-MS PVA VDR MPEG1 My reasoning is: • WTV is the default format from Window 7 Media...

I imagine it's already on the Master List (since I've mentioned it on Doom9, with a positive response), but I'm hoping we'll eventually see indexing support for Microsoft's DVR-MS and WTV formats. I can supply sample streams if/when it's necessary. From what I've read so far, VideoReDo is the curren...
