Interesting time I'm having encoding a short clip I have. It has some film grain, and even under the latest CQ profiles it is unpleasantly blocky, same with Insane mode. I would really like x264 to encode the grain as it looks instead of smoothing it out. Have tried loop turned off and on. The CQ-ASP_Q2_eq(crf) encode looks very decent even compared to the Insane and other CQ ones. Maybe Lossless is the only way to make the video look good on the film grain parts.
The part that's blocky is light Blue + has film grain. Maybe it's not hooking onto that part of the video so much. Why do they put this film grain in movies btw? Anyhow nice work with the profile updates and MeGUI too Last edited by Backflip; 17th December 2005 at 05:49. |

Go to the audio track and specify the size or the bitrate of the audio stream or even better, if you have the audio altready encoded, click on select and load the file. The calculator will recalculate the video bitrate accordingly to the size you specified.

Yup, the lower the value, the less strong the filter, the higher the value the stronger the filter. And stronger filtering means smoother output (and less detailed).

files.x264.nl down?
Is it just me or is files.x264.nl down? I've tried for a couple of days to download the link in the first post but it just hangs...
Can anyone point me to a mirror or maybe upload the package to some free hosting provider? Thanks! |

iam just using my old bat file and replacing the x264.exe with newer versions, would something like this still be valid:
x264 --pass 1 -B 500 --ref 1 --bframes 1 --filter -2,-2 --subme 7 --weightb --trellis 1 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --stats "%video%.stats" --progress --output NUL "%gentemplateext%" x264 --pass 2 -B 500 --ref 1 --bframes 1 --filter -2,-2 --subme 7 --weightb --trellis 1 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --stats "%video%.stats" --progress --output "%videoext%.mp4" "%gentemplateext%" with x264 core:42 svn-389M (built by Sharktooth) ? (or is there a faster way getting same quality, or would you suggest something else?) edit2: i replaced that with sharktooth's qt ce profile: x264 --pass 1 --bitrate %bitrate% --stats "%video%.stats" --bframes 1 --subme 1 --analyse none --me dia --progress --no-psnr --output NUL "%gentemplateext%" (should i call that 'turbo 1st pass'?) x264 --pass 2 --bitrate %bitrate% --stats "%video%.stats" --ref 5 --bframes 1 --subme 6 --b-rdo --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --progress --no-psnr --output "%videoext%.mp4" "%gentemplateext%" ---- also, was there a huge quality boost with latest versions of x264.exe or am i just imagining things? ---- edit: another thing: could 'we' get a -ver switch or something that would spit out some oneliner like 'x264 core:42 svn-389M (built by Sharktooth)' ?

wow things are getting too complicated for me, I think I'm better off setting the configuration manually, instead of trying to use scripts.
I think I successfully managed to encode a videoclip which duration is 1:15 minutes, and is 8.44 mb of size. The quality looks good so far... |
