Updated x264 to r1376, using Komisar's builds.

Also piping source into x264 as YUV4MPEG from now on, so we don't need to specify the video resolution and framerate in the command-line.

However we still need to detect the number of frames and pass it to x264 via command-line parameter explicitly...

why ?

from my short test the encoding has always ended at right frame..

If you pipe input into x264 from STDIN then it doesn't know the total number of frames!

With the YUV4MPEG format the width/height as well as the framerate are included in the stream (as opposed to "raw" YUV), so we don't need to pass those params explicitly.

However the total number of frames are not included in the YUV4MPEG stream, so we need to pass it manually via "--frames" parameter.

Otherwise x264 doesn't display the progress properly - and the GUI fails to parse the output. Well, how should x264 display progress, if the total number of frames isn't known?

But don't worry, the GUI will detect the number of frames for you and pass the "--frames" parameter to x264

(It's just that we cannot get rid of the "Analyze" step before the encoding starts. Anyway, the analyze isn't required to detect width/height/framerate anymore)

Been getting a bunch of these recently, at the end of encodes. Launcher keeps running and even working (during benchmark) until you press ok, then it crashes out.

Unless you give me detailed information on how to reproduce this problem, I cannot help. I finished dozens of encodes and it never crashed for me...

I am actually using this tool as my main x264 GUI front-end!
I am still having the crop issue when cropping from my .avs file, but since I am now cropping directly in my .dga file (now .dgi it seems), this works like a charm.
Thanks for keeping up the good work on this one LoRd_MuldeR

*EDIT*
Only thing that is missing from this tool IMO is a good bitrate calculator like in MeGUI. That would be awesome!

I can't help you with the "cropping" issue, as there is no indication that this related to my GUI.

It's caused by x264, Avisynth or DGSource. Or more likely, a combination of those...

What's wrong with %WINDIR%\System32\calc.exe ???

Fairly certain that has been asked ~10 times in this topic and it's been more or less said that he doesn't want to. So unless you have a specific reason for doing sequential encodes, I'd just say open a bunch of launcher applications and run them if you'll be afk for a while and wish to do so.

Ran a benchmark on my i7 920 Rig, 6 GB DDR3 RAM, the procesor chip is overclocked to 3.5 GHZ.
Here's the results:

* The tuning option is set to none by default, can you please tell me in details what other 6 options means and when I can use it?
* I understand the two pass mod, but I'm unaware of other 3 mods, CRF, QP and ABR
* What is the relation between CRF > Quantizer and QP > Quantizer?
* The slower preset means " better quality" ?
* Is it like higher profile means "high quality" ? Could you explain the profiles
* What are the recommended lower value for quantizer for high quality?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.
These are very basic question about x264, not specific to this GUI. All the info can be found in this forum or in a basic x264 guide! So I won't answer it in this thread.

Please and, if any questions remain, ask in the Newbies forum. Also there is the "Show Help Screen" button in my GUI for a complete list of all options

Small feature request

Hi LoRd_MuldeR,

could you possibly enhance the information displayed in minimized state in taskbar?
I mean, currently it looks like this:

When using 2-pass mode I have to maximize window occasionally just to check which pass is really running at the moment.
It would be nice if that info was included in minimized window title and tooltip dialog as well.
Thank you very much for your superb tool and for hearing me out!

Totally different problem here:

how do I properly transcode a video-file that has this speciality:

Quote:
SIZ 1920 x 1088
FPS 30000 / 1001
CODED 6246
PLAYBACK 7451
99.98% FILM
Whatever I do...the result is a out of sync file.
