x264 rev1114 w. MeGUI error, not working

[fib0by]

Launched MeGUI, did all the updates, tried to encode a 1080p stream, but x264 bails out with an error:

Last time I used it (with rev 1113) it was fine.

Yup, I replaced the new x264.exe with the backup file (I guess that's rev 1113) and everything works fine now.

same here. and coincidence is that we have the Phenom processors :) and i tryed to run x264.exe and i get message "program can't be runned in dos mode". I suppose that some error in compiling:)

I get the error too, but I use an old Celeron 2; my grandparents' comp experienced it also, and they have an Athlon64. The Linux x64 build of rev1114 by imk works fine, though.


EDIT: The x86 build (gcc 3.4.5) skystrife posted here fixed it, at least for me:

If you had been paying attention to the 'Current Patches....' thread,
you would have read that skystrife's x64 r1114 build is known to be broken on AMD processors...

use my (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1252595#post1252595) or komisar's (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1252756#post1252756)
build instead.

There are also people who use a program, and expect things to be fixed when it says updates are avaliable. Not everyone is digging these forums 24/24

The programs are not paid for and no guarantees given, so when a problem crops up,some people should better start to open their eyes rather than complaining.

And if those people are the first to report the problem they get the props for finding a bug ?

As I can attest to, this was an issue with the x86 build, as neither my nor my grandparents' computers run a 64-bit version of Windows (even if they do have an Athlon64). The log in the first post also was for the x86 version of Vista, and from what I'd assume, for the x86 version of x264 also. I'd doubt an x64 version would be put into megui's updates for an x86 system.

From reading skystrife's posts (I was already keeping on eye on the thread because I was interested in compiling x264 on 64-bit Ubuntu myself), the issue did exist with the x86 build also, but at least for me, the recompiled one posted after that - which I linked to - fixed it.
