Current Patches, Where to get them, How they affect speed/output

[Trahald]

Attached is hrd 16. it will patch to 1217. There is also a workaround for an inconsistency (not a bug) in x264. i_fps_den is sometimes the value passed from the frame server but other times its LCD to i_fps_num. so i just commented out the line. considering it only does anything when the den/num can be reduced, other times having no effect.
- x264_reduce_fraction( &h->param.i_fps_num, &h->param.i_fps_den );
+ //x264_reduce_fraction( &h->param.i_fps_num, &h->param.i_fps_den );
the framerate section of the sps of a PAL movie will take as many bits now as the sps of a NTSC movie. (negligible)

this should end the assert errors seen sometimes on PAL.

Thanks Trahald, works nicely here

On a side note, I started updating my benchmark spreadsheet with r1217.

There's still some I need to finish up with the placebo test, but you can get an idea from all the other results.

If you don't understand what all of the numbers or headers mean, click on the "Information" label at the top.

@imk:

Your x86 32Bit build doesn't work at all on system. If i want to start an encoding nothing happens, but the process keeps running with 25% cputime (single threaded) like in an infinite loop. I have a C2Q Q9550 E0 on Win 7 x64 RC. The 64Bit build works fine though, so it is nothing dramatic to me.

Edit: r1163 is the latest that works with me, but auto thread detection and the progress indicator do not work. I hope that helps in some way...

Can you get on IRC and find me? I'd like to compile some builds with various settings and see which work and which do not.

If you have time, come find me on Freenode in #x264. I use the nick Dopefish there.

Tried encoding some PSP videos with imk build 1222 in MeGUI (manually copied x264 into folder).
x264 crashed each time.
Tried same with Techouse build 1222, no crashes...
On the other hand, imk 64bit in Ripbot264 works great, so problem seems to be in 32bit build.

[imk]

Yeah, all of the problems seem related specifically to the 32-bit build. It all started happening around the time MBTree got committed. You should be using the 64-bit build if you have a 64-bit OS anyway.

When I get some time I'll try and make some debug builds so I can narrow down what's going on. The 32-bit build works fine during profiling and benchmarking, but aside from that, I haven't actually used the 32-bit build to encode anything.

It seams that techouse's build also crashes for a friend, i told him to get the patched and unpatched builds from techouse and try --longhelp, reporting back soon.

LE :

techouse and imk crash
jeebs work

i will make a debug build tomorrow.

if you use complete log you might also want to take a look at the console diff ( shows the encoding settings used in the cmd window )

I will upload release notes with the changelogs later on as I will have time :3 Nothing really has changed on that side, for the exception of the nal_hrd patch version of course, so I guess it's alright.
