ok, it worked with --demuxer lavf but noticed it wasn't able to show the percent... went counting frames:
Code:
x264_lavfffms.exe --demuxer lavf --bitrate 1024 --output e:\test.mkv "e:\ORF1HD.Demo-Loop.720p.DD5.1.mkv"
[h264 @ 014b65c0]number of reference frames exceeds max (probably corrupt input)
, discarding one

File plays fine in MPC-HC with the dxva decoder though at some point it goes blocky for a couple of frames in the middle - maybe it got corrupt or it's just the way the movie was... if i remember correctly i got the sample from ffmpeg's collection of test clips
question: if the video source has a SAR specified (example mkv file with h264 720x432 (185:78) 25.00fps so shows the image at about 1024x432), shouldn't x264 export the sar automatically to the output format, mkv for example, or at least issue a warning or debug message?
