So, obviously, the detection code is working fine. Must be some oddity with DirectShowSource() or the particular DirectShow decoder filter.
[EDIT] Works fine for me with your clip, using FFVideoSource: Code:

Problem was solved after re-boot. Weird...
Sorry Lord_Mulder for raising false alarm

add option/button
Welcome everyone,
Very nice and useful app for x264 stuff. few questions: 1. It's possible to add new button labeled as "SAVE" for saving modified parameters in existing template? 2. Add option for edit existing "Job". 3. If m2ts container officially supported as input? There is no such ext on "all supported files" in "Open Source File" window. But program accepted this kind of file. |

Well, at least when the job is not started yet, this should be possible. But requires extra work. Quote:
Of course you can always load your M2TS file via Avisynth or VapurSynth, for both x264 and x265. I recommend DGDecodeNV.

Portable
I was using an old version of Simple x264 Launcher that I was quite happy with. I got fed up with the "this version is more than 6 months old" message every time I started the program so I downloaded the latest version.
I thought the program was supposed to be portable, it just extracts the files to a folder? However there's an entry in the Programs and Features section in Windows which suggests it installed the program. Also, when installing the program there was a popup saying it was out of date so I clicked the button to update it, it appears to be updating mplayer. The top of the window says "download complete, verifying signature". The progress window says "Failed to verify signature" at the bottom and the install has paused. The only button available to click is the cancel button. Not very happy. What's going on? |

You can even rename the program file to x264_launcher_portable.exe in order to enable a "real" portable mode, in which case the program will keep all it's INI files directly in the program directory. Though using the "real" portable mode is only recommended if you want to carry around the program on your USB stick. Otherwise, I highly recommend to keep the INI files at %LOCALAPPDATA%. As far as the installer is concerned, it doesn't do anything but extracting the program files to the selected directory (just like an SFX archive) and create the shortcuts to the program. In newer versions we also have a proper uninstaller now, because a lot of people asked for it. They don't believe that deleting the installation directory plus the (now defunct) shortcuts can be sufficient. But that's pretty much what the uninstaller does. So it's just a convenience feature. And of course the uninstaller will show up under "Programs and Features", so people can find it (Note: The paranoid user, who believes that the installer program does some evil things - which of course it doesn't - may still extract the program files with 7-Zip and bypass the installer altogether) Quote:
Well, one of our update servers is located at "mplayer.savedonthe.net" and maybe you got confused by that. But let me assure you that not only MPlayer updates are hosted there Quote:
If you get "Failed to verify signature", it means the signature verification has failed for some reason. Probably it's just a failed/corrupted download. Though, this could also mean that you have just been protected from an attack! In any case, it should be obvious that the update installer won't go on after the signature check has failed, so simply try again! And if the update fails multiple times, I will need to have a closer look...

OK thanks. Why after uninstalling does it say I need to reboot if it's merely just deleted the files since the program is portable?
What's the point of the signature thing? If it didn't need a signature then it would have downloaded fine? I have now renamed the installation file to: x264_launcher_portable.exe but when I open the file it's still asking me to install it? Last edited by VideoFanatic; 29th March 2014 at 14:37. |

If it requests a reboot, that probably means one of the files that were supposed to be deleted was locked at the time the uninstaller was run. Digital signatures make sure that the files you are downloading are genuine, i.e. they have been created by me and have not been modified since then. Thus it prevents that:
Recommended reading: Quote:
In other words: Without the signatures, the Auto-Update process would be inherently insecure! Quote:
Renaming the program itself has exactly one effect: The program will now keep all of it's INI files in the same directory where the EXE file is located. And this is usually not recommended. (As said before: The "real" portable mode is only recommended if you want to carry around the program on your USB stick, but not for normal "local" usage)

May I ask why it's not recommended? I install many programs in portable mode whenever possible on my D: HDD, because that way I don't need to re-install them if I need to format my system disc and re-install Windows. I find that technique very convenient, or at least much more convenient than installing the programs in the default location "C:\Program Files". So, if for any reason, that technique could have a drawback or be insecure, please let me know.

BTW: In practice it may actually work to store configuration files in %PROGRAMFILES%, even if the program is not run with "elevated" (root) privileges. That's because Windows provides backward-compatibility mechanisms for legacy applications. It will automatically redirect any attempt to create files in "%PROGRAMFILES%" to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore". But of course new software should not depend on such backward-compatibility mechanisms. This is 2014, not 1994

OK, I did know that. My PC us used only by me, and I store my portable apps on D:\, because I have no access right limitation. So, everything is fine in my case, but I agree that your multi-users argument is important. Thanks for the clarification.

Keep the file "x264_x64-SETUP-r754.exe" and try unzipping that one the same way you did before

Try renaming the file "$R0" to "x264_launcher.exe". And the "$_OUTDIR" probably is supposed to be "toolset". Not sure what $COMMONFILES refers to. Of course there is a much easier solution: Just run the darn installer

I was wondering what profile should I use to give the highest compression without lowering the picture quality? I'm converting 1080i 25fps TV recordings to 720p 59.94fps. The source was Main @ L4.0. At the moment Simple x264 Launcher automatically uses High @ L3.2.

The default behavior of x264 is to set the proper Profile and Level automatically for you, i.e. the lowest possible Profile/Level that your stream conforms to. And almost always there is no need to set the Profile or Level manually. To make it clear again: The Profile and Level are just labels that indicate the minimum decoder capabilities that are required to play your stream. For example, a "High" Profile stream will require a decoder with support for "High" Profile. (Enforcing an even lower Profile or Level than x264 would set by default can make sense, e.g. in case you need to hit a lower Profile/Level for compatibility reasons. Enforcing a higher Profile/Level makes no sense to me) Thanks, but I'm pretty sure neither the problem nor the solution was caused by Simple x264 Launcher
