Hi, I'm still using the older .net1 version of MeGUI and am thinking of installing .net2 to move up. In the older version I had to manualy enter in the A/R for anamorphic encodes using the A/R calculater. Just wondering if this is still case with the new version? Thanks

The new version of MeGUI is deeply changed. There is a completely new A/R management and a "Clever(tm) anamorphic encoding" option in the avisynth script creator. I think you will be satisfied with the new version... ;)

Hey Sharktooth, I just installed the latest version of MeGUI. I'm totally lost with anamorphic encodes. I think I figured it out. Here's what my script looks like...does it look right? It's a 2:35 NTSC film. I selected custom 2:35 for the DAR. Also do I need to resize? I cropped to mod 16. Can I remove the Resize line or will it simply ignore it in this case? # Set DAR in encoder to 141 : 46. The following line is for automatic signalling global MeGUI_darx = 141 global MeGUI_dary = 46 DGDecode_mpeg2source("G:\Projects\U571\u571.d2v",info=3) ColorMatrix(hints=true) #blank deinterlace line crop( 0, 54, 0, -58) LanczosResize(720,368) # Lanczos (Sharp) #denoise

I've been doing a little reading on some of the threads and I have a question regarding anamorphic encoding. I ran a job last night which is still running but when I created the job, I only had the following for anamorphic encoding in the avs script. # Set DAR in encoder to 141 : 46. The following line is for automatic signalling global MeGUI_darx = 141 global MeGUI_dary = 46 But from reading elsewhere I think I was supposed to set this in the preview as well. Is this correct? If it's only in the AVS script will the movie be encoded anamorphically? Edit: When creating the project I used DGINDEX and used Force Film. Should I have done it this way or use MeGUI then click Analyse and do what it recommends?

Well obviously I did something right..and something wrong.. because when I click on the mkv file and select properties I can see the Display size for the movie is 1128x368. So the anamorphic encoding worked...however it's wrong. MeGUI set the following for cropped 720*368. Set DAR in encoder to 141 : 46. The following line is for automatic signalling global MeGUI_darx = 141 global MeGUI_dary = 46 My calculations indicate it should be 215:179. When I watch the movie it looks really stretched horizontally. Too much so. Any ideas why MeGUI selected the wrong DAR?

Hey Berrinam, I got my AR calculations from the ARS Calculater from this thread Most of my encodes using this calculater look good. I hope it's correct. Why is it soooo hard to get the DAR set?? I really wish there was an easy way. So is it a known issue with MeGUI that the DAR it sets is incorrect?

No, I am not aware of such an issue. Again, I have had no problems with MeGUI's calculations, so I suspect something else is going wrong. How are you using MeGUI, excatly, with what sources?
