I'm testing it right now. So far so good

(encoding ogm file right now)... You did a good job man! Seems like you based your work on a really well balanced combination of MeGui + RealAnime plus features of your own.
I'll give you feedback tomorrow morning

Settings:
* Trellis 2 is just slow, best use 1
* Trellis just work with subme 6 and 7
* No auto bframe mode
* No Fast P skip should be checked

General:
* changelog tab should be in About tab.
* no filtering?

I got it to encode an OGM file. It encoded every audio track as expected and the file works #1.
The thing I noticed is that the command lines do not seem to work in a folder with spaces in it's name. It takes the first part of the name (up to the first space) and throws an error.

Code:

command line: 
/C C:\ani x264\ani-x264\tools\BePipe\BePipe --script "DirectShowSource(^C:\ani x264\ani-x264\tempfiles\[a4e]Great_Teacher_Onizuka_03_v2[divx5.1.1]\[a4e]Great_Teacher_Onizuka_03_v2[divx5.1.1]_aud1_und.ogg^).Normalize" | C:\ani x264\ani-x264\tools\neroAacEnc\neroAacEnc.exe -cbr 32000 -ignorelength -if - -of "E:\Encoded\[a4e]Great_Teacher_Onizuka_03_v2[divx5.1.1]_(1).mp4"

Lines returned by the BePipe cli & neroAacEnc cli: 
'C:\ani' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Not that it's terribly hard to avoid, but it would be great if that were to be solved.

This is not true. Trellis 1 works on all subme settings.

*i don't agree that trellis 2 is slow, in my tests trellis 1 and 2 increased the encoding speed by at least 1 or 2 fps, if i remember correctly.
*yip seems i forgot the 'auto' option in bframe mode, thanx.
*why should the changelog tab be in about tab?
*filtering will be in beta2

thanx for posting this. actually i came across that error before and just forgot too correct it. this will be fixed in beta2.

for beta2, i'm currently adding a bit more x264 options to the gui, filters and a feature to allow importing and exporting of profiles it will also support MeGui profiles. i'm still having trouble with the avs parser, so avs support my not be ready.

Sirber · 24th October 2006, 20:28

too much tabs

changelog is useless and belong to About tab

In my tests trellis makes it slower. Can someone else confirm?

Sharktooth · 24th October 2006, 20:30

Yes, trellis 2 is slows down the encode... while trellis 1 is almost unnoticeable.

Hi!

Can you put up another download link for Ani-x264 1.0 Beta 2? I can't get it to download from the link on your site.

Thank you. I'll try it out right away.

EDIT:

I'm getting an error when I try to start it: "There was a problem while Ani-x264 tried to start. Try reinstalling this program to solve this issue."

strange.... are you sure the you/program has file I/O (read & write) permissions?

well replace the 'Ani-x264.exe' with this one here. if there is still an error this time it will return the full message.

Hi! I'm running it on a XP system and I'm running as an administrator. Permissions shouldn't be a problem. I've tried the new exe file and it give me the following error message: "Value of '9' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. Parameter name: Value"

EDIT: Oh I forgot. The program does start after I press OK on the error message.

I just set up a batch encode using AutoMKV, but I'll give this a shot tomorrow when I set up another. I'm intrigued entirely by the idea being able to set up a render farm b/w my main PC and my often-idle HTPC.

Any idea what kind of experience I'll have farming across a wireless network?
