AutoX264 (Multi Encoder GUI for X264) v.18

Here my new creation.. AutoX264

AutoX264 is a cross platform application (avaiable for windows and linux) that can use several h.264 encoders to deliver outstanding encoding on mp4, mkv or m2ts

On its basic way AutoX264 use mencoder , mplayer, xterm and MP4Box.

AutoX264 can decode/encode, using mencoder, ffmpeg,X264.exe, DGAVCIndex, DGIndex, FFmpegSource , near all files, from m2ts to avi, to mkv

AutoX264 also support MeGui X264 profiles

WARINING FOR UBUNTU USER: make sure you select options avaiable in your mencoder build.
b_adapt=2 isn't actually avaiable in ubuntu 's mencoder build (for example...)

here the link to AutoX264 0.18 version

Linux : http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autox264/autox264.tar.gz

Windows : http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autox2...8.171.1640.rar
windows update : http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autox264/autox264.exe

AutoX264 Manual: http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autox2....%200.15).html

The windows link (rar) is a FULL inclusive BUT remember to update with the executable autox264.exe

For Linux User: make sure you have installed mencoder/mplayer/mp4box.
You should already have installed xterm and gtk2 libs

Optionally you can install mkvtoolnix (for mkv muxing), and wine (and avisynth).. for using the windows full package (already tested and working)
For using MeGui profiles, just create a "profiles" folder and put here the xml files

Linux user should install mediainfo/mkvtoolnix/tsmuxer using repository

I have also tested linux autox264 windows with Wine, and it's fully fuctional (remember to install avisynth, and download applications pack)

Autox264 also support MeGui X264 profiles

WARINING FOR UBUNTU USER: make sure you select options avaiable in your mencoder build.
b_adapt=2 isn't actually avaiable in ubuntu 's mencoder build (for example...)

here some image












the application is tested on Ubuntu 8.04 Fedora 10 64bit, Windows XP SP3

Kewl! I'll try it today!

The 0.7 version is just seg faulting on an Ubuntu Intrepid box, the 0.6 version is starting though.

I can confirm. That link in the first post segfaults on Sabayon 3.5.1 x64bit.

The second link appears to be working.

Couple of things.

1) It would be nice to be able to resize the main window, as currently much of the options are half cut off.
2) Switching between crf and 2 pass does not cause a change in the crf or bitrate selection box.
3, but not so important) How about a little more color? It's pretty white.

But all in all, an excellent start!

thanks all for feedback and nice words !

some answers

yep.. on purebasic isn't to so easy to do "dinamyc sizing" box.. but let me search about

Quote:

when you select the 1 pass or 2 pass, you must simply edit the value reported on "Final MB (or CRF)", autox264 will compute bitrate to fit the specified MB size.
The "manual bitrate" is to "override" the compute of bitrate

, any suggestion ?

Ah, okay. I am just used to a straight "Bitrate" interface. However, this way works to. Leave it like this.

A deeper grey color for the background is not a horrible idea with some a slightly different shade for the buttons, as right now they blend in with the background, except for the shadow.


Also, is there a reason why all of my test videos are scaled? I inserted a basic 1280x720 video, that needed no cropping or resizing, and it automatically calculated a new resolution of 1152x632. However (1152/632)= 1.822784810126582278, which is nearly equivalent to the DAR presented in the information box, 1.8234.

And here I thought that the DAR was supposed to be 16:9. What am I missing here? Are you getting the DAR from some entry in the input file's metadata?

the ar is computed by mplayer, you can always change the ar displayed to 1.7778, and autox264 will use this value

Okay, I thought it was something like that. Odd that it would choose 1.822.

Small bug report. When choosing the no_fast_pskip option, the generated commandline says "nodfast_pskip".

Okay, we are getting there.

1) I don't think mencoder supports ssa/ass subtitle hardcoding yet. I just tested with an .ass file containing "This is a test!!", and the end video shows no output. I don't think that feature has been fully implemented yet. I would like to say I am wrong.

2) Feature Requests:
---Ability to save log.
---Ability to delete intermediate files, ex "autox264.h264", etc.

3) small bug, when in the subtitles tab, and the "mux to mp4" radio button is selected, if you select a subtitle file, the radio button jumps to "encrust in video"

autox264 will switch between encrust and mux if subtitle isn't compatible with mencoder ...
ssa subtitle isnt' directly supported by mp4box so is "encrusted" by mencoder
srt can be muxed and encrust
same fo ass

Quote:
Ability to delete intermediate files, ex "autox264.h264", etc
already present, "Program Path"

Quote:
Ability to save log
.. to be done (but not so easy, since application aim to be cross compiling..)

Ooops, my bad.

Ah, it seems I was misunderstanding the meaning of "encrust". I thought it hardcoded the subtitles onto the video. I see now that it doesn't. The file that I tested with earlier just needed the subs (which I didn't know where there) enabled in the player.

Weird. Because with a .ass it just muxes to the final output, even though "encrust" is selected. What I mean is that I have to select the subtitle in my player when playing the resulting video.

Okay, now I can't get any subs to burn in, be them ass or srt. The only way I can get srt to display is if I use the mux option, and even then they are only on for around 3 seconds.

could you please post the encoding bat (add to queue and post it (copy&paste)) ?
