I'm returning to x264 encoding using MeGUI after a break of about a year and having read through the last few pages of this thread I've just about got to grips with the new profiles, this being my current cmd line for a 720p encode, based on Unrestricted (DXVA) - 2-pass with preset and bitrate changed:
Code:
program --preset faster --pass 2 --bitrate 3000 --stats ".stats" --output "output" "input" i.e. 240/24 for film, 250/25 for PAL, 300/30 for NTSC TIA |

Code:
0.3.4.10 - [x264Encoder] --aud will only be appended if selected in the configuration dialog. Bug #2979294 - [OneClickSettings] the MKV container is enabled by default - [x264ConfigurationPanel] fixed wrong vbvmaxrate value after profile switching - [OneClickWindow] fixed keep input resolution behavior - [VideoEncodingComponent] improved error handling - [FilmCutter] changed default transition type in AVS Cutter to "No transition". Fade transition will blend in/out 10 frames. Bug #2913546 |

Keep input resolution not working in One Click
Hi Zathor
Very glad to know you are working on it The problemn is almost solved Now Correct DAR and PAr is finally recorded in muxer, but videolan player can't handle such large numbers in mkv file, display width/heigt is 34709:19036 When encoding &creating avs manually, the values are 31:17 or 16:9 I do not know why megui ends with such long figures. I have tested vaules in mkv as long as 1024:576 or 1920:1080. Probably the maximum figure is 4000 or 16000 or 32000. Even x264 changes the input darX &darY to lower values, as seen in log: global MeGUI_darx = 69419 global MeGUI_dary = 38072 but x264 rounds to yuv [info]: 720x576p 69419:47590 @ 25/1 fps (cfr) x264 [info]: using SAR=34709/23795 Can you change the way megui calculates darx & darY so that lower figures are used?

Great job, Zathor, Keep input resolution now works like a charm.
You've me saved tons of time. Just a minor suggestion, when keep input res is checked, signal AR is disabled in one click advanced setting tab, but it is not disabled in the one click profile configuration window. And someday i will try to understand ITU values or why the exact values are 640:351 and not 16:9. I feel like an absolut newbie But today I am happy, this fix is ...great. Thanks again |

Possible problem with current development build
I just output and burned a Blu-ray disc using the Blu-ray 2 pass with the latest development build, X264 1510, etc. The disc plays just fine on the computer, but neither my Panasonic BD-35 nor my Panasonic BD-60 will read it. I have output many BD discs before using MeGUI and have never had this problem. My firmware is up to date on the Panasonics.
I am currently outputting a file with the MeGUI stable build and will rebuild and burn and see if that fixes the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: I just saw here that others are having difficulties with the latest X264 being in fact Blu-ray incompatible, and that it is a problem which Dark_Shikari is aware of and is working on. UPDATE2: I investigated a little more, and it turns out my x264 build was actually 1442, even though MeGUI was reporting 1510. So, this is most likely a false positive.

MeGUI does not know about the file itself and will only report which file has been successfully downloaded. If the files are replaced after the download MeGUI will still report the old build numbers. But glad to hear that your problem is solved.

I ended up with a file with an average bitrate of under 7000. In the log file, both the goal bitrate of 17500 and the final result of under 7000 were listed. Here is the MediaInfo on the file. Any ideas why this happened? I'm not sure if it is an X264 or a MeGUI issue.

In this case, I'm preparing a video to burn to a Blu-ray disc, so I've got space to kill! I can often see a visible difference in quality between when x264 outputs according to the type of bitrate I usually encode at (around 18000) and a bitrate around 6000 or 7000, especially in dark scenes or small gradiants of color of a large space. |
