windows 2003, 32 bit, 4 gb of memory, avisynth installed 2.5.8 i think... source is 720p 50 fps i think
x264_lavfffms.exe --bitrate 1024 -o e:\test.mkv e:\ORF1HD.Demo-Loop.720p.DD5.1.mkv
vs 2010 debug shows this..
process explorer shows this...
it wouldn't surprise me to have made something wrong, so please let me know if that's the case.. and if there's any way I can help you out in more detail I'll be glad to do it.
later edit: is it supposed to actually read mkv files? i see it doesn't crash with .avi files...
even later edit: on avi files the console window says in the taskbar indexing input but after it finishes that and begins to encode content it still says the same thing.. I think it used to show encoding progress. In the console window itself, it does show the status correctly
(and excellent news and thanks for the cool things you add to x264!)
