nice tool.

Would it be possible to make the x264 version user replaceable ? like MeGUI

komisar · 13th July 2009, 15:09

St Devious, replace x264.exe or x264_x64.exe with your version.

oh alright. I thought the x264 exe was included in the program exe like lame encoder i his LameXp software.

Nice tool, I noticed from 30fps (x264 32bit) to 33fps (yourtool) speedup, can You update to the latest x264 build commandline (no --progress param), or put some option screen to configure hidden parameters?

Anyway

for nice GUI

Done

The package has been updated to x264 r1181 (JEEB's builds) and the GUI reflects the new Preset/Tuning/Profile system now.
Also the GUI will work on 32-Bit OS now, but all 64-Bit features will be disabled for obvious reasons.
Last but not least there is a first attempt to implement automated 2-Pass. After some initial testing it seems to work as expected...

[EDIT]

A minor update is available now. Download link has been updated.

LoRd_MuldeR · 15th July 2009, 19:38

Yet another small update. Fixed a few minor glitches and added a "help screen" for x264 parameters. Download link updated.

St Devious · 16th July 2009, 01:27

any chance of adding horizontal scrolling in the window ?

and adding an option of using 32-bit or 64-bit x264 ?

and report the time taken to encode the first pass and second pass ?

Nope.

Why would you want to use (the slower) 32-Bit x264 and a 64-Bit system, if you have a chance to use the 64-Bit one?

Well, a report could be displayed after 2-Pass, just like after the Benchmark...

just for kicks to benchmark 32-bit against 64-bit

that would be great. anyways, it displays

Code:

encoded 3179 frames, 37.69 fps, 5764.39 kb/s

at the end. So if i were to calculate time taken manually, frames/fps ?

also getting this

The "List Box" control doesn't work like that and I don't intend to replace it.

What do you think the "Benchmark" button does?

8x8dct is enabled by default now! If you want to disable 8x8dct, then you must pass "--no-8x8dct".
Otherwise you don't need to do anything...

actually in my case, i was encoding with ultrafast preset which has --no-8x8dct. I wanted to enable that and it gave me this error message

also is it possible to type in the input and output file box instead of having to browse around the PC ?

was that only done for 2 pass ? i don't see it for ABR mode

If you don't want ultra fast settings, don't use the "ultrafast" profile

We don't need a report for ABR, because ABR has only one single encoding pass and the info is in the encoding window.

(In contrast to 2-Pass the encoding window won't close automatically after an ABR encode)

I wanted to use that specific option with ultrafast presets.

Could you please leave the prompt in there, but let it be the user's choice to put the parameter in there after that or remove it ?

also, the x264 report in the end displays

Code:

encoded 3179 frames, 37.69 fps, 5764.39 kb/s

Then instead of using "--preset ultrafast" you will have to specify every option manually.

You can specify all the option that the "ultrafast" preset includes, but simply leave out the "--no-8x8dct" parameter

I certainly won't allow the user to specify a parameter that doesn't exist in x264 r1177 and later

If I did, the results would be x264 aborting with "unknown option" error...

Alright, I'll do that. thanks

isn't --8x8dct a default parameter in x264 now , http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148148 ?

Also please answer the "calculate time taken manually, frames/fps ?"

That's exactly the reason why "--8x8dct" doesn't exist as an option anymore. There is no need for an option that just sets the default value

You can only disable what is enabled by default. And that's what "--no-8x8dct" is good for.

In other words: Unless you explicitly set the "--no-8x8dct" parameter (or a preset that includes it), 8x8 vs. 4x4 Transform Adaptivity will be enabled.

Would it be possible to add a "No preset" option in the presets drop down box, so that the program uses x264 default options.

It's already on the list

Please see:
http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p...667bea608c6dee

Code:

[...]

else if( !strcasecmp( optarg, "medium" ) )
{
    /* Default is medium */
}

[...]

don't know what that is , looks like a c program.

What does "Default is medium" mean ?
