huh lots of things, i will pick out the most important ones
first of all thx everyone for the given info
- nero and moonlight support custom quant decoding
- when setting 0 reference frames in x264 it will encode with 1 reference frame (or 2 reference frames if b-frames are enabled). that is because x264 is smarter than the user i assume
- if you have crashes with b-ref and large numbers of mref you should start an own thread about this and tell the x264 devs
- "most x264 encodes use .avi" - where do you see that? on your harddisc?
