By crossposting do you mean the thread he posted in the Xvid forum?
That thread isn't the same subject as this one yet the titles describing the threads are the same. This seems more like a rule #9 issue. |

x264 can already "parallel" by using more than 1 thread. I don't see the point...

And btw, even the changelogs are slightly different. The two scripts share some code but will share less in later revisions. For example I use the same 1st pass code for both ATM. bis besser, T0B1A5

b) current parallelism does not scale well ELDER is supposed to scale approx. 60x on 64nodes. But as I wrote before... current beta is is "parallelism challenged" due to an issue with Active Perl. I will be able to sort out the scaling part myself but I need testers for the quality aspects of ELDER which are testable with one CPU machines easily by either using defaults or setting "-m 1" aka selecting to use 1 CPU max. Another planned feature is pause/resume which should come handy for most users as well. And I have to start yet another thread sometime as I plan to include SNOW encoding as well bis besser, T0B1A5

I'm going to be getting a 4-core (or 8-core, haven't decided yet) server to upgrade our main office, when I do I'll give your stuff a test.
How exactly does it work? Does it split each frame into x blocks like x264? Does it split the movie (on 1st-pass-generated IDR chunks perhaps)? A more unique method? |

I tried ELDERchap, but when I tried the elderchap_testrun.sh it tolds me in the first line:

To me it looks like something with gettting the chapter info from mplayer isnt working. ( the info is coming from mplayer, isnt it? ) |

it will only work when the DVD is in the drive NOT with a ripped DVD on HD. Anyway I suggest to wait for beta2 which I'll port to linux (wine) soon. Elderchap is not always frame accurate, ELDER is. bis besser, T0B1A5

I used a real DVD.
It's a shame that there won't be a native Linux program. Will the port use wine for avisynth or will there be a possibility to use mplayers input? If the actual program consists of perl scripts, it should be much easier to port it directly to Linux, than using wine. Can you outline how the Programm is working? On the Project page is not that much Information. Anyway, thank you for your efforts, I think elder is a program with great potential! |

But anyway, I asked in mplayers irc and there really is no method of frame accurate seeking. I'll try to look in the mplayers source, perhaps I can add it myself, but I havent that much time so it could take a while. Quote:
Perhaps you can write that details on the project's page? There isn't much info on it. Quote:
