I been trying to learn cli x264,I am having a hard time writing commands.Thought I would try this.I only encode bluray movies and use mkv anymore.I all ways used BDRebuilder or ripbot264.Now you got this new GOP thing for blurays and ripbot does not use it.I just loaded a whole movie (movie only) I never thought about audio.I usually just demux with tsmuxer and remux audio in later.I loaded the stream right from the BDAV folder,drilled down to stream.This is what I did - preset slow --tune film --aq-mode 2 --crf 21 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2 --open-gop bluray --b-pyramid strict --ref 4 --weightp 0 --slices 4 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" I copied this from a post that sharktooth made.I loaded this into the custom parameters.I hit encode and away it went,says 4:33 hrs on x64bit Phenom II 955BE oc to 3.6.Did I screw up by not demuxing first?Or does it demux?if so where are the temporary files? I really didn't think I had it set right,since it took off I am letting it go.It only does video right?I am a n00b at cli,i can use tools and gui's good.I hope it does what I want,Thanks for your tool Lord Mulder

About demuxing: You didn't tell us what kind of source file you are feeding into x264 CLI. But if that file is a video file stored in some container (AVI, Matroska, MP4, TS, etc) then it will be demuxed for sure. x264 currently only processes the video part of the source file and ignores the audio part. The demuxing and decoding is done by FFMS2 (libavformat/libavcodec) and it does NOT create a temporary file. The demuxing/decoding is done "on the fly". However FFMS2 will have to index the source file first. And (optionally) an index file can be saved, so the index doesn't have to be re-created next time...

Sorry I was confusing,I loaded a Bluray movie that was on my HD it was a m2ts, I used tsMuxer to keep the movie only and the English DTSHD-MA on my HD,the movie was in h264 1920-1080.Like I said,I can not write commands unless I see them first.The commands that I put into the custom parameters I copied from a post I seen, that made a file bluray compliant,.You answered with out knowing.It does demux and ignores the audio.I had been trying to use just x264 cli for awhile and couldn't get it right.So I stuck with GUI's.When I loaded this and it worked I was surprised and excited,I hope that crf 21 will do well.The movie it self was 22.1 GB,I try to keep them around 7.xx GB. I was also just giving you a compliment,if this turns out well then 4.5hrs is good.I may need to go with 18,19,20.i don't know because usually I do 2pass for size.Thanks again!! This is great!! BDRebuilder uses the new "GOP" settings in x264 * none: Open-GOP disabled. * normal: Open-GOP enabled. * bluray: . Open-GOP enabled. A less efficient version of open-GOP, normal mode doesn't work when authoring Blu-Rays.This is the GOP thing I spoke of in my first post. stinman Last edited by stinman; 19th July 2010 at 00:49. |

(If you mean the user can get started "faster" than with other more complex/advanced GUI's, then you are probably right)

Not planned. You can put "--vf resize:x,y" to the options input box easily, if needed.

Thanks for this program. Please update x264-binaries to r1698. And could be as good as including a CRF 2-pass mode?

But there's absolutely nothing that prevents you from updating the binaries yourself at anytime you like CRF is single pass by definition! Well, I know that one can run a CRF encode and then re-use the stats file from the CRF encode to run a second pass of a 2-Pass encode. But I don't get the point of that If the user wants to hit a specific file size (or average bitrate) then "normal" 2-Pass will work just fine. Otherwise CRF does the job...

@LoRd_MuldeR: Nothing that prevents me from updating the binaries myself (I actually already did that), but some people probably don't bother doing that (or don't know how to), and it's IMO better to make sure that they use the latest x264.
The point with 2-pass CRF is to get more accurate VBV, but as gravy, also a tiny better --direct auto EDIT: Thanks for the info concerning Lookahead-VBV, although it was announced by D.S. the 17th August 2009, not "ages" ago (although you might use that word as slang?!)

But I certainly won't update the package for every single x264 revision. You really cannot complain about a two-weeks-old revision... Nonsense. VBV is always accurate, also in 1-Pass CRF mode. x264 will never violate the VBV constraints without throwing a fat warning message. And if this ever happens, you either use absurd settings or you just found a bug (There were some problems with 1-Pass VBV long ago, before Lookahead VBV was implemented. But that's fixed since ages)

So that was more than a year ago. That is "ages ago" in x264 development, with a rate of approximately ten commits and three API changes per day
