Hi, from this post http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...90#post1696590 we discussed having a portable version of Simple x264 Launcher. I had it working fine but today I opened the program and I get a popup saying VapouSynth is not installed despite me disabling that warning before (I also checked the options and "Never show warning about missing Avisynth or Vapoursynth is still ticked"). Also when I go to add a new job none of my templates show up, the only thing that shows is Default. This has happened before in previous versions. My templates file is still where it should be but none of the templates show up in the program.

If you do so, it will store all INI files in the very same folder where the program file resides. Otherwise, it will store the INI files at "%LOCALAPPDATA%\LoRd_MuldeR\Simple x264 Launcher". Of course, in "portable mode", you must make sure the directory where the program file resides is actually writable! If it is not writable, e.g. because you put the program to "C:\Program Files\Something", your settings cannot be saved, obviously! Conversely, %LOCALAPPDATA% is always writable. Also, if you switch from "portable mode" back to "standard" mode (or vice versa), your settings will be lost. That's because the program will now look for the INI files in a different place than where they have been saved before. Of course you can simply move the INI files to the new location and everything will be fine again. Anyway, moving your INI files around is only needed if you switch between "portable mode" and "standard" mode. It is not required as long as you stick to one mode. Having said that, if you think that your settings are not saved correctly, I would suggest to inspect the INI files! Also, you can run the program with "--console" option to get more diagnostic output...

As far as I know I was running it in portable mode and the files are not in the C Drive so it should be writeable. The INI files are still in the folder where the program is. However when no templates showed up in the program I saved another one and it showed up in AppData\Local\LoRd_MuldeR\Simple x264 Launcher so it looks like the program changed to non-portable mode somehow.
How do you actually switch between modes? |

Add what parameters to the simple x264 for the iphone4s/5s to suppress the video play
Use the simple x264 default parameters encoded video in iphone4s/5S inside can only play the start of 7mn31s, and then the picture stagnant not fast forward rewind, dance music playback, voice only! What is the reason? Should I fill in which parameters in the "custom encoder options"? The red line is shown as below:
Code out of the MP4: Guardians of the Galaxy.2014.1280x720_23.976fps_121mins_2500KB,bit (The video using the computer to play is normal, but in iphone4s in error, unable to drag around playing!!) Please tell me what I should do, thank you! Last edited by yangshao; 28th November 2014 at 12:54. |

1. There is are no "simple x264 default parameters", because Simple x264 Launcher defaults to whatever x264 defaults to (i.e. Simple x264 Launcher, by default, doesn't overwrite any x264 default settings).
2. Nobody ever claimed that a stream created with x264 default settings will play correctly on device XYZ. 3. Settings a specific H.264 Level via "--level" switch does not guarantee that the resulting H.264 stream will actually conform to that Level! There are many properties of the input file (frame rate, frame size, etc) that may violate the desired H.264 Level. And, if your input file violates the desired Level already, then there is nothing x264 could do about that. So be aware for any warnings that x264 may spit out! 4. You may need to setup the required VBV parameters for your playback device in order to ensure proper playback. But please don't ask me what the correct VBV parameters for your device are. Use Google

Good observation, kypec. Actually I think the GUI shouldn't allow to enter "--" without an option name. Will be fixed for next version.

Please try with this TEST version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/muld...0.exe/download This adds the "--skip-version-checks" command-line switch, or better, makes that switch work again

Where's the problem? You could write a Batch script that runs the program with the desired extra arguments and put it into the same folder as the EXE file - portable or not.
I don't want to encourage people to use outdated versions too much

That's the point. This is something you should use only in "special" situations (e.g. for testing something), but not for your every-day work.
Why exactly do you want to use an old/outdated encoder version anyway, except for testing? The only reason I can think of is that the latest version has some kind of regression(s). But in that case, you should better get the developers to fix the regression, instead of reverting to on older version...

Strange filename bug?
Hi all, I have been having trouble with x264 Launcher (2014-11-02) and the test build (2014-12-10) on Windows 8.1 x64.
I am loading avs scripts in to re-encode some decrypted MPEG-2 videos from DVD to 10-bit x264 or 10-bit x265. The problem is that if I abort a job (to analyse the output) and then restart it (or recreate it), the job will always fail unless I rename the output file to something different. If I don't rename the output file x264 Launcher asks me if I want to overwrite the existing file, I say 'Yes' and then the encoding process starts and errors out with this; And the log reads; Code:

Anyway, recent x264 has support for L-SMASH MP4 Muxer built-in, so there's no need for any "modded x264" to get L-SMASH support. And if you encounter any problems with the built-in L-SMASH muxer in up-to-date (vanilla) x264, better report to the developers! It means Avisynth (or, more likely, one of the Avisynth plug-in's you are using) has just crashed. It's not a Simple x264 Launcher problem. Don't shoot the messenger! Time to load up your debugger Quote:
In the best case, the buggy program will crash right away, so at least you know that something is wrong and you can track down the cause (easily). In the worst case, it will not crash at all - but produce corrupted outputs silently...

Could it be that the problem is caused by two backslashes in path after drive letter for output file?
Code:
Source file : G:\01 More Than Meets The Eye (Part 1).avs Output file : G:\\01 More Than Meets The Eye (Part 1).hevc |
