Step 3: D2V Creator

For more information on all the settings of MeGUI, please refer to the MeWiki website.

This step will use MeGUI's D2V Creator tool to create a D2V file needed for MeGUI/AviSynth to handle MPEG-2 files. This step is required only for MPEG-2 files - all other types of inputs do not require a D2V file and can be loaded straight into AviSynth and therefore, you can skip this step and go to the next page/step (Step 4: AviSynth Script Creator).

Start MeGUI. I like to first clear the job queues of previously finished jobs. This is optional, but it might help to make things clearer. To do this, click on the "Queue" tab and then click on the "Clear" button.

From the "Tools" menu, select "D2V Creator". In the "Video Input" section, load the first VOB file of the movie titleset (the rest of the files in the set will be loaded automatically). You will get an error message about not being able to find DVD Decrypter generated info files, this is fine (as we did not use DVD Decrypter's IFO mode) and press "OK" to skip this error.

MeGUI: D2V Creator


Select which audio track(s) to demux - you can select more than one track if you want the encoded file to have multiple audio tracks. Alternatively, you can just select the demux all the tracks and then choose the correct audio track(s) later on.

The default save directory is the same directory as your loaded DVD VOB files - change this if you want to. Select both the "On completion load files", "and close" checkboxes and press the "Queue" button. You are now returned to MeGUI - click on the "Queue" tab and press the "Start" button to start the D2V creation. When processing has finished, the status of the queued job will read "Done" and the created D2V file will be loaded into the AviSynth Script Creator ready for the next step. This can take a while, so please be patient - the status window's progress bar may not move, but don't worry, DGIndex is working.

Excellent guide! The only problem I have with this approach is that you can't control the output resolution very efficiently (meGUI reports 16:9, but outputs the video in 4:3 anyway, and if manually resized the output is skewed anyway) and the output video is extremely washed out compared to the original. I played back the resulting mp4-file in Quicktime, VLC and other players and it's the same on all, blacks are grey. The entire picture has a LOT of brightness.

Thanks, I've been trying to learn how to use this tool. There is a doubt in using autoencode: I'm not sure the profile I chose is used or not. for example, in the main input interface, I chose MKV as container and then the video profile. But when I press autoencode, the window pops up did not show any chosen profile while the container is MP4 as default... It feels the the settings in main input interface are ignored?

Astro_Toy: Rest assured that the profile settings are being used. However, you do need to separately select the container (MKV, MP4) since this setting is not part of the profile.
