Hi,
I just installed the latest NVIDIA driver 397.31 and now avs2yuv_x64.exe crashes. I found the info below in the event viewer. Note that rolling driver back to prior version 391.35 works fine. I confirmed this on my laptop (GeForce GTX 960M) and my media server (Geforce GTX 650).
Code:
Faulting application name: avs2yuv_x64.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x57b61de5
Faulting module name: nvcuda.dll, version: 24.21.13.9731, time stamp: 0x5adc2e79
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000001280ef
Faulting process id: 0x5c4
Faulting application start time: 0x01d3ddb05c0c63d7
Faulting application path: c:\MultiMediaTools\Simple x264 Launcher v2\toolset\x64\avs2yuv_x64.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\nvcuda.dll
Report Id: 282ad1ed-1fca-41a4-bc35-68fffdc1550e
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID:
I run the line below to get info I need like # of frames which has been working flawlessly until the new driver.
Code:
cmd /c ""c:\MultiMediaTools\Simple x264 Launcher v2\toolset\x64\avs2yuv_x64.exe" -frames 1 "media_p1.avs" NUL 2>&1"
The avs file only has two lines, i.e.,
Code:
LoadPlugin("c:\MultiMediaTools\DGDecNV\x64 Binaries\DGDecodeNV.dll") 
DGSource("media_p1.dgi")
I was able to load/play the avs file in vdub64 just to be sure. Let me know if you need any other info.

Same here. Did not try to rollback yet but same symptoms.

MeGUI_x64 gives errors too.

EDIT: rollback to 391.35 and error disappeared. Very strange indeed.

Feature Request: field to locate the chapter index files

Hi Mulder,

thank you very much for this helpful tool.

Could you please add a regular field to locate a chapter index file to can assign it to a job more easy?
Parameter --qpfile QPFILE_NAME
http://www.x264bluray.com/advanced-features/chapters

The parameter would be best controlled in the GUI since the cmd line is not much handy for modifications.
An the file must be changed for each file!

Another feature request is to can define different speed for first pass in 2-pass mode.

Thanks to consider about it
best regards
Jim

It seems that this version of the driver is full of problems. I have read here (in French) that if you install it for a GTX 1060, the installer asks to reboot the computer after each reboot! nVidia is currently working on a solution. Perhaps the solution will fix the avs2yuv bug too.
In the meantime, the article suggests to skip this update, or, if it has already been installed, use the Display Driver Uninstaller and then re-install the previous version (v391.35).

Well, avs2yuv_x64.exe is just the "wrapper" around Avisynth.DLL. So, if you see crashes in avs2yuv_x64.exe, it is almost certainly not a problem in avs2yuv_x64.exe itself but a crash in Avisynth.

Furthermore, as long as you are using the "official" stable version of Avisyth, crashes in Avisynth are caused by "buggy" plug-ins more often than not.

Here the case seems quite clear: You are using "DGDecodeNV.dll" plug-in (GPU-based decoder DLL) and that seems to not work correctly with latest NVIDIA driver. The crash of avs2yuv_x64.exe is just the symptom of the underlying problem.

I cannot say whether there is a bug in "DGDecodeNV.dll" (which I don't have) that happens to trigger with latest NVIDIA driver, or whether the latest NVIDIA driver is bugged. Comments by others seem to indicate the latter...

This seems a bit specific for me to justify another GUI option.

If you need to use a different "--qpfile" for each input file, you can use the variables "$(INPUT)" or "$(OUTPUT)" in your custom parameters...

x264 and x265 automatically applies "faster" settings to the first pass of a 2-Pass encode, unless you specify "--slow-first-pass" option.

The idea is that you can use the same settings (Preset) for both passes and still the encoder automatically uses "faster" settings in the first pass for those settings that won't effect the 2nd pass...

@r0lZ,
Thanks for the info. I'll wait for the next driver release.

@LoRd_MuldeR,
I think you're right as what you said makes sense. Hopefully next driver release fixes the current mess.

Mmmh, it's needed to define precise chapter points for Blu-ray compatible streams.

Thank you for the hint, but sorry, I don't know exactly what to do.
Sure I know how to drop the parameter into the line of custom parameters.
But I must admit, I'm not familar with the syntax, is it propritairy?
I can put it into the custom parameter line and add the job to queue.
But what happens next? Where has the files and folders to be defined?
Will simpleX264 launcher ask me for that?

Thanks!

Do you consider about capabilities to can re-edit jobs already in queue?
Do you even consider about to can save and restore queues like a project?

best
Jim

It is explained in the program



Instead of writing a specific file name, such as --qpfile "c:\foo\bar\baz.qpfile", you can, for example, write --qpfile "$(INPUT).qpfile".

This is going to load the file "<whatever_the_input_file_is>.qpfile" as the qpfile.

Just select "Restart Job", which effectively clones the existing into a new one and also allows you to edit the job.

Not at this point, sorry.

This is not true for x265 anymore.

When slow first pass is disabled, a turbo encode with the following go-fast options is used to improve performance:

Okay, so x265 now has "--slow-firstpass" enabled by default, and you actually have to pass "--no-slow-firstpass" in order to get faster settings in the first pass.

Doesn't change the basic idea though: We still can use the same settings for both passes, and simply add "--no-slow-firstpass" in order to speed up the first pass (instead of adding "--slow-firstpass" in order to not peed up the first pass).

This works really fine!
I did not realize the mouse-over description!
Thank you very much!

I use DGDecNV so I checked the forum there and sure enough someone did report issues that are fixed in the latest DG tools slipstream of 2053. If you're using this, then grab the latest. I did and it does now work fine with 397.31 which didn't prior. I normally don't install hot fix releases but just the official releases but I'm sure it'll work fine with .55 too.

In my XP - SP3 install, any version following the 2.84 doesn't works;
It says: "process exited with error code: -1073741511" without further explanation(s).
Any hints?

How do I set bit depth for NVEncC? I tried to put "--output-depth 10" on the custom parameter but it gave me the warning "forbidden parameter".

-1073741511 is hex 0x3ffffec7,

Only found a few mentions of that error code via google,
here is one concerning problem with a Qt4 dll:- http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/2621...ode-1073741511
