THEY LIVE!

Does anyone still build a fresh xvid_encraw from sources?
_

OK, I did. (MABS: MSYS2/MinGW-Win32, GCC 7.2.0)

/trunk/xvidcore/build/generic $ ./bootstrap.sh
/trunk/xvidcore/build/generic $ ./configure
/trunk/xvidcore/build/generic $ make
/trunk/xvidcore/examples $ make

#LigH

I get this message when i will download your XviD build: File Blocked for Violation.

LigH · 15th December 2017, 19:30

I will investigate. Right now I don't see which terms of service I may have violated.

In the meantime: VideoHelp forum attachment

I'm just getting a blank page from videohelp.
(even FireFox Page Source show as blank)

EDIT: And "Save link as ..." tries to save "newreply.php" which is 0 bytes in size.

LigH · 15th December 2017, 20:49

URL fixed; a link to reply to a thread was seriously wrong.

StainlessS · 15th December 2017, 20:51

We are sweet, thanx LigH.

Thank you very much, I have to try that later. Could you please also compile a x64 build?

LigH · 16th December 2017, 13:02

Attached archive in VideoHelp post updated (Win32 and Win64 builds from v1.3.5 source archive instead of SVN, incl. some legal files, and with max. 8192 zones).

MediaFire share will not be altered until I know why it is blocked.

Does MeGUI's HD Streams Extractor remove AC3 dialog normalization from audio tracks by default? I am seeing at least one post that suggests it does not.

LigH · 19th December 2017, 20:46

Demultiplexing should never change any bit in the exported streams. Except with explicit parameters. IMHO...

tebasuna51 · 19th December 2017, 22:42

MeGUI's HD Streams Extractor uses eac3to and, by defaulf, always remove the dialog normalization.

Unless the parameter -keepDialnorm is added.

How do I add --tune grain in megui's x265 configuration dialogue setting? There is no drop down option for grain like the rest.

Megui version 2810.

LigH · 31st December 2017, 20:07

Apparently Zathor forgot to add the "grain" tuning to x265...

Code:

-t/--tune <string>               Tune the settings for a particular type of source or situation:
                                 psnr, ssim, grain, zerolatency, fastdecode

In the meantime, you may have to add it to the custom command line in the "Misc" tab.

I tried to do this but I was of the understanding that - -tune was to go right after “program”, but when I add it in the extra command line box it doesn’t show up till after crf. Is this ok to do?

I also have two more questions if it’s ok to ask here.
1) what command line do I need to insert for intel iris decode compatibility?
2) is it true that I need to use the slower setting in order to take full advantage of what x265 has to offer?

Happy new year everyone

I think I must be suffering from some celebratory brain fade because I can't work out how to configure MeGUI to generate 10-bit HEVC encodes...

My 10-bit AVClossless encoded source appears to be okay as MeGUI is able to generate 8-bit HEVC encodes from it without any issues at all. So I suspect I'm not entering the correct command line information within the 'Misc' 'Custom Command Line' box.

Any helpers?

Many thanks...

I should have mentioned that I have tried using some of these but in all honesty I don't understand how to use all these command lines correctly. Hence my problem

sneaker_ger · 1st January 2018, 14:49

Just set:
--output-depth 10

SeeMoreDigital · 1st January 2018, 15:05

Many thanks @sneaker_ger,

Oh jeez... I'm embarrassed to say that I was adding too many parameters and probably even a comma.

It's working now and generating the correct output.

It's a shame the 'x265' web site does not offer such clear examples for dummies like me.

Thanks again

sneaker_ger · 1st January 2018, 15:33

The comma just marks alternatives.
I.e.:
--output-depth 10
is the same as:
-D 10

Just a shorter way to write things. (Notice these single letter parameters use only a single instead of double hyphens.)
