Well, Xbox cant do miracles...

That's the thing though, why is it possible to be able to play the Nero AVC material at 720x304 (with very good quality). This is my objective -- to play x264 + AC3 *MKV* at similar quality as the Nero AVC which was encoded and with a 720x304 resolution.

disable all macroblock options (set to "none") and try again.

Hi Sharktooth, sorry for bothering you and I don't know how much it matters from the quality point of view, but in your latest (v16) profiles you still have "no mixed ref" and 2 bframes, but it seems to me (on three different trailers) that mixed ref and 3 bframes is safe (let's just forget about 4 bframes just to be on the safe side). I must confess that I haven't heard from anybody else. Now I'm trying with a 24mins episode of a sitcom (man x264 is slow on my pentium m 1.83ghz).

EDIT: I forgot to mention I was talking about the PSP profile.

Sharktooth · 12th December 2005, 21:01

well.. adding mixed refs it will be even slower

however i'll update in the next version (v17).

Sharktooth · 12th December 2005, 21:06

V17: updated PD-PSP profile with mixed-refs and 3-bframes.

Ps.: I know I could examine the xml files,.. a little overview would be nice.

Sorry it's still in my "todo" list.

V18: Removed No-Fast-PSkip from profiles coz it slows encoding and since the x264 Rev386 should fix the problem in most cases without No-Fast-PSkip.

@quake74: Good to read you can encode again.

So, i don't really know what the status of the PSP-Profile and 4 B-Frames thing is but i tested it and it works. Based Sharktooths PSP profile.

Caroliano · 14th December 2005, 13:02

Acording to bond's tests, you will make the probeskip defaut for all profiles? I still think that in the more insane profiles the nofastpskip option can remain.

Sharktooth · 14th December 2005, 13:06

I was thinking the same thing...

Sharktooth · 14th December 2005, 14:28

V19: Re-added no-fast-pskip for the HQ-Insane and AE-Maxquality profiles.

From v17 the PSP profile has 3 b-frames and mixed references enabled.
4 b-frames is not necessary because it doesnt help rising the quality.

Chainmax · 16th December 2005, 20:09

I just noticed that the AE-Maxquality profile has automated 3-pass and turbo enabled, does that mean that the issue is solved now?

Sharktooth · 16th December 2005, 20:15

everything should be working.

Chainmax · 16th December 2005, 20:18

Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into this

.

Chainmax · 16th December 2005, 20:47

AE-MaxQuality doesn't seem to have the "no fast p-skip" option enabled in v19.

Sharktooth · 16th December 2005, 21:17

yeah.. you're right... both have no-fast-pskid disabled...
i was sure as hell i updated them...

well... v19a contains the fixes.

Chainmax · 16th December 2005, 23:01

I just made an encode with v19 with AE-Maxquality and deblocking 0/0, does having the no-fast-pskip option disabled affect the quality in any way on rev387?

Sharktooth · 16th December 2005, 23:06

yep, but it greatly depends on the source, no-fast-pskip should fix the blue sky and similar blocking issues.

Chainmax · 17th December 2005, 01:19

Nah, a clip I was encoding earlier showed some extremely erratic motion and I wanted to know if that was caused by the lack of this option. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
