Make sure you stop/restart BD-RB after setting ENCODE_QUALITY=6. It only gets read when booting or resetting from the menu (but "6" isn't a visible option). I'd really appreciate it if one of the PS3 users tried an encode with the older version of X264. Last edited by jdobbs; 3rd February 2009 at 00:12. |

Long story short (kind of late for that), I am currently doing another Movie Only encode using v0.18.7 and the version of x264.exe that was in the v0.17.3 distribution package. I'll post my results after the encode finishes. |

Do you really thing we should waste our time reimplementing something your computer already does? We surely could not possibly implement it as well as the native method, either. (On the odd chance that you actually don't know, Ctrl-S will pause a program...) (Maybe we should stop telling people this and instead lie and say that x264 has pause capability and that "Ctrl-S" is the key to activate it... )

How can you use your computer for a higher priority task and make it any quieter? Last edited by jdobbs; 3rd February 2009 at 01:39. |

This is an interesting question... its actually more of a video freeze than a skip. My results have shown the audio continues to play correctly, but the frames are freezing. Given that the method used for Blu-Rays is essentially supposed to reuse the unchanged portions of scene, from frame to frame, the scenes with little movement seem to freeze (skip) alot, where scenes with lots of action are less prone to it... and more like blocking (large scale pixelating in certain areas of the screen) at least that was my observation.

I'd be interested, then, to see how you do with the "6" setting. I'll go back to the X264 change list and see if there was any changes to the motion estimation algorithms between the two versions. Frankly, though, I have to suspect something else... or you'd think I'd see it on my standalone also.

It sounds more like a muxing, timing, or HRD issue. |

I think alot of people might just be afraid to interfere with the process in even the slightest way... that's alot of time thrown away if it decides to "burp" when it starts back up. The pause button would be more emotional than mechanical. With a Q9560 I can still do pretty much whatever else I want without problems, but I trust the way a PC works more than many.

Hi, ive tried encoding a couple of movies (Pulp Fiction and The Simpsons Movie)... Im amazed at the quality and speed on my quad core pc... ;-)
I use the best setting and the films have already been run through TSremuxR 1.8.8 as movie only as they are stored on USB hard drives. They play fine on the PC. In Pulp Fiction (original codec h264) i get a type of macro blocking / break up a couple of times in the film. Ive done this encode twice and it happens different times in the film on each encode. The Simpsons Movie (original codec MPEG2), the frames appear to slow down when something with more detail is about to happen and the sound disapears. The scenes where Homer dumps his waste sylo and the lake goes bubbly, the scene where the mob after him and the shot goes through the crowd, and the scene when the dome explodes. I am currenty doing There Will Be Blood (original codec VC1)... |

By skipping I mean that the video will freeze for a fraction of a second, and then skip ahead to a point where it is in sync with the audio again. The audio plays without any glitches. I've only made it about two minutes into the movie, and the freezes happen every four or five seconds over that period. This was posted as a work around on another forum. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it will provide some insight to the problem. Anyways, here's what I did that ended up fixing the problem: - Opened up the *.AVS.264 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB) in H264info - checked the "Remove pulldown" checkbox - ran H264info and created a new file, *_NoPulldown.AVS.264 - opened up TSMuxer GUI - added the newly-created no-pulldown 264 file, and the *.AC3 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB) - selected the "Create Blu-ray Disc" option and ran it - burned the resulting folders to a DVD+RW using ImgBurn with UDF 2.50 |
