x264 memory leaks?

[amitye]

Hi all,

1. I am using x264 threw ffmpeg (static libs), and I noticed some memory leaks after closing ffmpeg.
Does anyone noticed that?

2. whehre can I find updated x264 static librarues build?

Thanks

x264 currently leaks one frame worth of memory per x264_encoder_open() and x264_encoder_close() call. This is known, and Akupenguin is apparently not willing to fix it just yet because the fix causes some conflicts with two experimental threading patches.

Interesting, do the leak get plugged? (IE, only one frame is ever leaked or are multiple frames leaking as the program progresses)

It did always seem that x264 would get a bigger footprint as time went on.

Avisynth plugins are the more common culprits of large leaks.

With multithreading it leaks much more than 1 frame (and even more than number of threads if you stop encoding at inappropriate moment). For fixing you may try "frames_memoryleak.diff" from this patches (http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2008-January/003921.html) (they are all woking except "colorspace_patch.diff" after revision 733).

Does anyone know when this fix will be part of the officials builds?
