I added pseudologarithmic slider for ABR with bitrate from 1 to 999999 kbit/s. Hope this would be enough for anyone .

Now all that we need is an 8192x4608 video source.

You run into the default --qpmin 10 anything below CRF12 in most cases from my experience. Beyond this is really more than is needed for anything but the finest mastering quality. I'm using this as a mezz file to generate everything between ~600kbps 480p and ~9mbps 1080p, and doing this on a massive scale.

So, in my case it's more important to have a predictable output filesize while still keeping good quality. ~50mbps 1080p24 or 1080i60 ABR gives excellent results in the tests I've conducted, with no visible artifacting even when peeked at with the revealing Histogram(mode="luma") in AviSynth. This is all using rather fast settings as well (something close to --tune veryfast).

Thanks again for tweaking the behavior! This overpriced Digital Rapids box just got a lot more useful to me

I think it is the time for beta-testing of new GUI for x264vfw with preset/tuning/profile support.

Build: x264vfw_beta_1613bm_23386.exe

P.S. Beta-period would be one week so please report about found bugs and suggestions earlier.

SWEET

This just keeps getting better and better.

Trying now.

One suggestion - I personally liked having the other tabs for VUI etc. Maybe add a second tab with some of these settings, along with VBV values and other things that are independent from preset / profile / tune

Sorry, but I don't suggest adding more options to new GUI currently because all other options (in my opinion) are for advanced users only so they can use extra command line.

Release is little bit delayed so here is beta3: x264vfw_beta3_1649bm_23639.exe

[MasterNobody]

Official release of new GUI:
x264vfw_23_1659bm_23819.exe

AFAIK this is no other way to turn on MB-Tree only to off it ))

in extra options: "--mbtree --rc-lookahead 100" work... try it...

Hi there,
I've really enjoyed x264 VFW ability to output to mkv, however I'm experiencing a problem using that feature. Here's what I've done :

I've edited my video as usual, making the needed filtering and I've set x264 VFW to output to mkv, I've added that to VirtualDub's Joblist and I've executed it right from the Joblist. To my surprise, VirtualDub outputed the Fake AVI file and not the MKV. What's wrong ? Please help.

NB. I'm using VirtualDub 1.9.9 and x264 VFW r1688 KMod

[MasterNobody]

Do you use full or relative path for mkv output? If relative than may be your looking for resulting MKV in wrong directory. As for Fake AVI it is always created except when you use "Run video analysis pass"

Could you please explain me the difference between full and relative path ?

I just write -o moviename.mkv and it encodes the MKV to VirtualDub's Folder .. how can I change that ? And by the way, how can I make it output automatically to the same folder as the fake AVI ?

Thanks again for your help.

full path: "-o c:\my_video\encoded.mkv" (this works always)
