That happens to me sometimes too and I haven't really figured out why either. It does however happen more often if your video is not mod16 resolution. eg. 1080/16=67.5 1920/16=120 All I can tell you is to try cropping 4 pixels from the top and bottom of the video to make the resolution 1920x1072 and see if it still happens. If it does then I don't know what to tell you.
i just tried cropping it like you said and i still received the same error, i am running a 64 bit OS that shouldnt make a difference should it?
Don't thinks so. Try searching around the doom9 forums. The people that develop these programs (e.g. Dark Shikari) are always on there and they might have a better answer for you.
That's the error right there, it has nothing to do with cropping. You need to specify where the log file output is going to be. Do this from the main MeGUI page, under Config. There you'll find where you can set the log output, you'll need to do this only once.
