[Error] An error occurred
-[Error] Exception message
--[NoImage] DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\Users\admin\Desktop\work.mp4:
--[NoImage] Cannot play back the file.  The format is not supported.
-[Error] Stacktrace

--[NoImage]    at MeGUI.AviSynthAudioEncoder.encode()

Soultion please?

Thanks

you need to fix your directshow subsystem (make sure you have a directshow mp4splitter , directshow decoder for that mp4 file)

on windows 7 you can use win7dsfiltertweaker to configure some things, and graphstudio to figure out what filters are currently registered and have highest merit . You can use mediainfo to determine what compression is used for the mp4 file

or use a different source filter like ffmpegsource2, instead of directshowsource

directshow is not the preferred input method for mp4 files.
use FFMS.

How do i do that? how do i set the the audio imput method?

Just so you no my program paths are set, that being neroAacEnc and besplit and the build i'm using is 0.3.5.13.


Edit do i need to add them file indexers manually as dgindex, dgavcindex, dgindexnv are grayed out?

[Sharktooth]

have you read the guides?
indexers are grayed out until you select an input file in the File Indexer tool.

[killers]

No can you please point me to the guides. Thanks

I managed to load ffms as my audio, now this is my log file with a new error:

[Error] An error occurred
-[Error] Exception message: Script error: Invalid arguments to function "Audiochannels"

post your script

[Sharktooth]

first, what you want to do?
second, guides are on forum.doom9.org
third, that error means you fed the avs script to the audio input but obviously the avs script had NO AUDIO.
fourth, before encoding, demux the audio from your mp4 file (with mp4box or yamb) to get your audio stream to encode. as an alternative you can use the DGIndexNV (if you have an nvidia card AND you have a license) that will both index the mp4 and demux the audio track.
fifth, if you didnt read the guides and dont know what all this stuff means, megui is probably not the software you are looking for.

No it just means i haven't read the guides, i'm pretty sure that megui is the best of it's kind and that's enough to seak to understand! i used sony vegus trial and extracted the audio i'm going to look into mp4box and yamb to compare thanks for sharing. I still don't no what all of it means though but i'm getting somewere now and compressing is what i want to do.
