x264vfw command line options

[movmasty]

I need the exaustive(all the options supported) cli setting to use in x264vfw, and specially in Komisar build.

Mainly i need to set and enable mbtree and rc-lookahead in this way

These are the cli option that could be set through Komisar x264 gui

--crf 24.9 --ref 3 --trellis 1 --mixed-refs --deblock 1:0 --bframes 4 --direct auto --b-pyramid --b-rdo --weightb --bime --b-bias 0 --direct-8x8 -1 --me umh --subme 7 --merange 16 --mvrange -1 --mvrange-thread -1 --scenecut 50 --partitions i4x4,i8x8,p8x8,b8x8 --aq-mode 3 --aq-metric 2 --aq-strength 1.2 --psy-rd 1:0.15 --ratetol 0.5 --qcomp 0.4 --cplxblur 20 --qblur 0.5 --keyint 150 --min-keyint 5 --nr 0 --qpmin 18 --qpmax 38 --qpstep 7 --deadzone-inter 21 --deadzone-intra 10 --progress --threads 0 --thread-queue 0 --thread-input --cqmfile .\matrix.cfg --ipratio 2.4 --pbratio 1.33 --chroma-qp-offset 0 --vd-hack

TIA

komisar last update is 2013-02-27, so.....

and i figured out how to use cli, just write the options that you need to change and komisar will fill with its default, mbtree enabled

[komisar]

--crf 24.9 --ref 3 --trellis 1 --mixed-refs --deblock 1:0 --bframes 4 --direct auto --b-pyramid 2 --weightb --b-bias 0 --me umh --subme 7 --merange 16 --mvrange -1 --mvrange-thread -1 --scenecut 50 --partitions i4x4,i8x8,p8x8,b8x8 --aq-mode 3 --aq-strength 1.2 --psy-rd 1:0.15 --ratetol 0.5 --qcomp 0.4 --cplxblur 20 --qblur 0.5 --keyint 150 --min-keyint 5 --nr 0 --qpmin 18 --qpmax 38 --qpstep 7 --deadzone-inter 21 --deadzone-intra 10 --ipratio 2.4 --pbratio 1.33 --chroma-qp-offset 0 --vd-hack --rc-lookahead 80 --mbtree

work fine for me in x264vfw (use "Use command line:" or "Extra options:")

--b-pyramid -- need argument i.e. "--b-pyramid 2"
--b-rdo unsupported
--bime unsupported
--direct-8x8 -1 unsupported
--aq-metric 2 unsupported
--progress unsupported
--thread-queue 0 unsupported
--thread-input unsupported

p.s. --mbtree/--no-mbtree work fine

FWIW, newer VfW builds can also be found here:

Thanks MyLoRd (just downloaded your LameXP)

And thanks in Anticipation Komisar, since a new update will be nice
(Glad to know that exist a --mbtree, still dont understand the --aq-mode 3 )


And now a shocking info!
Acutually im making Mp4, for the aac audio and to incude srt subs in the file....

BUT,
im encoding in avi with komisar, and then convert to mp4
with Pazera free converter suite(and i reccomend it)

Still find all the mp4 encoders, buggy, little configurable and hard to use

x264vfw.r2273kMod

I build only kMod VFW...
BugMaster build clear VFW...

[movmasty]

OK, then what --aq-mode 3 is???
dont tell me that
0=1
1=2
2=3
?

[komisar]

"--aq-mode 3" is "aq=3:x.yz"

--aq-mode <integer> AQ method [1]
- 0: Disabled
- 1: Variance AQ (complexity mask)
- 2: Auto-variance AQ
- 3: Auto-variance AQ with bias to dark scenes

OK many thanks, but this means that dark scenes get more or less bytes?

More

Usually filesize will be larger at a given CRF value

So if you're using --crf 25.9 expecting some rough ball park filesize, you will have to adjust it

[movmasty]

OK, thanks to all and forgive me for all this silly questions
