Problem decoding

[Audionut]

x264.exe version 291
megui-x264 v0.2.2.3a


Script:

import("g:\x\ltsmc.avs")
import("g:\x\soothe.avs")
import("g:\x\blinddehalo3.avs")
import("g:\x\lsharpen2.avs")

video = mpeg2source("D:\BAND_OF_BROTHERS_DISC1\VIDEO_TS\test.d2v")
video = video.crop(8,8,-8,-8)
video = video.ltsmc(apmode=4,blcksze=4,chromame=true)
video = video.lanczos4resize(704,384)
video = video.BlindDeHalo3(rx=3.0, ry=3.0, strength=40,
\ lodamp=0.0, hidamp=0.0, sharpness=1.0, tweaker=0.0,
\ PPmode=0, PPlimit=0, interlaced=false)

soothe(video2,video,10)


Command line, pass 1:

"x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 900 --stats "2pass.log" --ref 8 --bframes 2 --b-pyramid --subme 6 --weightb --analyse all --8x8dct --pbratio 1.5 --chroma-qp-offset 2 --me esa --threads 2 --cqmfile "G:\hvs2.cfg" --progress --no-psnr --output NUL "D:\new.avs"

pass 2:

"x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate 900 --stats "2pass.log" --ref 8 --bframes 2 --b-pyramid --subme 6 --weightb --analyse all --8x8dct --pbratio 1.5 --chroma-qp-offset 2 --me esa --threads 2 --cqmfile "G:\hvs2.cfg" --progress --no-psnr --output "D:\test.mkv"


Problem:

I can only play the resulting file with ffdshow. No other decoder seems to want to accept it.
Custom Matrix so the video output with ffdshow is borked but atleast the filter will accept input.

Virtualdubmod produces this error message:
These are numerous, all at different (ms)
MKV: A frame of strem 1 (at *** ms) had only a forward reference (maybe broken file).

Also This.
MKV: Video frames seems to be weirdly ordered.

CQMs are only supported by Nero at the moment IIRC. If you want to play your files now, I'd suggest using that, or not using CQMs.

VirtualDubMod does not handle native AVC in MKV and probably never will.

Nero doesn't work.

Ok... and your question is?

[cuban]

Can You provide a sample so anyone can confirm Your problems?

Looking at your commandline, I see the Exhaustive Search Algorithm being used in the first pass. This is probably just a waste of your time. Since you are using MeGUI, you may want to try the turbo option, which will give you a significant speed-up of the first pass.

I just checked, and the file You provided plays in mplayer. Unfortunatelly I dont have Nero filters...

This is normal. As posted before, You wont get mkv with native avc content work in VDM. VDM can open mkv with avc in vfw compatibility mode (but putting avc into mkv in that mode is not recommended).

No problem at all here, with Nero or Ateme's decoder. Both accept to play it. VLC crashes, though.

I guess you'll have to update Nero.
