files unreadable after coding with x264

[msm_007]

Hi all,
I’ve tried to compress some raw HD files with x264, the process is accomplished normally but the result was unreadable

I play files with vlc player

I don’t know if the problem is in the cmd, in the player, in the input files or even in x264
Could you PLZ, help me

They all work fine in mplayer and DGAVCIndex. It is VLC's fault. Try using a container, then VLC might work.

For whatever reason, the newer versions of VLC seem to not handle a raw .264 file anymore. I remember I could watch raw files fine under 0.8.6, but that seems to have disappeared :(

Regressions happen :)
