x264 FPS

[Sirber]

Is it me or x264 FPS display is an average? Ex: when I quit a 3D game, x2te FPS is very low and stay like that for a while instead of going back to real FPS. Wouldn't it be better to be the average of the last second?

In MeGUI it is average FPS. But it is not a rule. On virtualdub you can se the instant fps for example.

MeGUI uses x264 CLI, so it's the same as any GUI for it ;)

Virtualdub show the FPS for any VFW codecs, so it's not related to x264.
