MeGUI x264 presets. - Page 37

nurbs · 5th May 2009, 13:23

The phone supports maximum 640*480 resolution @ 30 fps. I don't know which device preset is appropriate, but it should handle more than the baseline presets offer. Try encoding some 5 minute clips with the other device presets and see if the phone plays them.

Maybe this is intentional but should "Unrestricted 1pass Const. Quality Balanced" have -bframes 16?

Sharktooth · 13th May 2009, 14:08

@rack04: yes.

I've got a Nokia N96 but I'm not sure what the x264 settings are for this device...

I've looked all over the net but I can't find any specs relating to the H.264 specs on this phone...

Which of your "device" profiles would be the most appropriate?

It should work with Level 1.3 preset for PDAs and cellphones.

Just wondering, for the DXVA presets, that wouldn't include let's say XBOX/PS3's would it? As I'm just sorta messing around with some settings, Single Pass (As I don't mind the variable Size Outputs). As previously been using the Unrestricted Presets but some users are reporting 'a bad atom', which made me sorta look into settings but not 100% sure what settings affect the Hardware Compatibility issue.

---
EDIT:
Main difference I see between my current settings and the DXVA or even the PS3/XBOX360 profiles are the AVC Level (I use Unrestricted, whereas the others are 4.1) and under the Macroblock Options I had p4x4 enabled and the presets don't.

Oh and naother is b-pyramid was enabled for me and disabled for the other 2 presets.

Apart from those 3 differences do the other settings conflict with compatibility issues?
As my b-frame mode is Spatial because I don't use 2-pass (which Auto would be the recommended value)
(I don't use any CQM's)

And the issue of the bad atom, which is related to a 64-bit bit time code, would simply adding "assumefps(23.97)" or assumefps(29.97) as the last line fix the issue?

I have a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, but i cant seem to find a profile to encode my videos so that it can play on the phone. I tried everything, including the iPOD/iPhone/cellphones profiles. But none work.

Any help please

Thanks

@SacredCultivator:
p4x4 won't break compatibility with hardware players (definitly works with PS3), but it only helps at low resolutions. If you do DVD resolutions or higher I would deactivate it.
b-pyramid used to cause problems but seems to work now (tested only 720p on DXVA, ps3 and wd-tv).
A (explicitly specified) level of 4.1 or lower is definitly needed for PS3 and I think for DXVA as well, but it's generally a good idea to always specify a level, else x264 will guess a level that fits your settings.
b-frame mode doesn't matter for playback.

No idea what you mean with bad atom, but the PS3 for instance won't play files > 4GB (which use 64-bit timestamps).

@Arshad07:
Maybe it's the resolution. The phone only supports 320*240 @ 30fps.

SacredCultivator · 13th May 2009, 17:11

Thanks nurbs for the explanations.

Just a few things I wanted to comment.

yeah minimum resolutions I deal with are 640x480 (I dunno if you'd count that as low resolutions)

I guess I'll enable b-pyramid then since it doesn't cause any problems now. {But I guess it still has some problems given taht the presets for the DXVA / PS3|360 still has it disabled)

And the bad atom seemed to give some itunes/quicktime users problem because of the 64-bit timestamps. And adding "assumefps(23.97)" seems to have been a workaround for that mentioned in another thread. But definitely none of the files I work with are over 4GB's

Works like a charm with the 1.3. Cheers mate!

Hmm...that limits the resolution choices to ~QVGA max, right? Do you reckon if it can handle that it might be able to playback VGA-sized Xvid at max settings?

Hi, there.

Is there already a preset for PNA's like the TomTom Go series? I have got a 920T with tomplayer (tomplayer dot net)mplayer based and here is the commandline the builder suggests:

mencoder -audio-preload 0.8 -delay 0.1 -af volnorm -srate 22050 -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=3:cbr:br=96 -subfont-autoscale 3 -subcp latin1 -noodml -vf scale=480:272,crop=480:272 -sws 9 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vmax_b_frames=0:vbitrate=720 -ffourcc XVID -o outfile infile

Maybe the framerate have to be adjusted to 10fps for PNA's with lower than 400Mhz and 12fps for higher ones.

BTW. there is a newer version of MEncoder svn rev 29312 - 05/18/2009

Hello,

I've tried encoding a couple of movies using Xoloco's 'Standalone-Blu-ray' presets (one using normal preset and the other using the 'fast' preset) and both produced videos that have a brightness (gamma?) push that is way too high. It's not so noticable in daytime scenes, but dark scenes look very washed out. The brightness jump occurs both on my PC (using MPC & CoreAVC) and on my Sony BDP-S350 player (after I mux the .mkv into an AVCHD using TSMuxer).

I've made no adjustment to the presets, and I used the default settings in MeGUI to make the avs file:

DirectShowSource("E:\Movie.mkv", fps=23.976, audio=false, convertfps=true)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

I have allowed MeGUI to download all the latest updates. x264 is currently Jeeb's patched build 1162. Any idea what the issue could be? Is there something in either MeGUI, the Blu-ray presets, or the AVS file that I need to change in order to prevent the brightness push?

Thanks a bunch,
Visor

Sharktooth · 11th June 2009, 13:35

this is NOT the place to discuss 3rd party presets for megui.

@loretta80: no tomtom presets yet. i'll see if i get more info to create one. thanx anyway for your suggestions.

My apologies, the reason why I posted here was because the Standalone-Blu-ray presets are listed on the first post of this thread. I didn't see a separate thread for 3rd party presets... maybe you could forward me the link?

At any rate, I found the answer to this issue, which turned out not to be preset-related after all, but instead AviSynth-related. I needed to add the following statement to my .avs file:

ColorYUV(levels="TV->PC")

Cheers,

The Xbox360 / PS3 profiles are still set to 3 ref-frames? I can play 4 ref-frames on the Xbox360 flawlessly, wouldn't be better to update it?

Sharktooth · 18th June 2009, 02:56

3 or 4 refs do not make much of a difference.
