My builds are back.

[Sharktooth]

it's already there...

[devaster]

i cannot download your builds ...
is files.x264.nl always when i try it down ( now 8. may 2006 20:32)???:scared:

[Sharktooth]

look at THE WHOLE THREAD... expecially at the last post:p (the one i linked 2 posts above!)

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this problem, but here I go. Sharktooth, I was using your x264 win32 daily builds: rev. 512 in my last encodes with no problems. Now I upgraded to x264 win32 daily builds: rev. 520 and later to x264 win32 daily builds: rev. 522 and I am getting this error with both versions (rev. 520 and rev. 522):

x264 [error]: requested bitrate is too low. estimated minimum is 7 kbps
x264_encoder_open failed
These are the full details

My AVS script:
# Set DAR in encoder to 37 : 20. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 37
global MeGUI_dary = 20
DGDecode_mpeg2source("H:\dvd\z.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#Not doing anything because the source is progressive
crop( 10, 10, -6, -6)

#resize
Undot() # Minimal Noise

I am using the Video Profile HQ-Insane with your CQM eqm_avc_hr and I am not encoding or adding any audio, just video.

I followed the same steps that I always use: D2V Creator, AviSynth Script Creator, Autoencode -> Filesize (in this case 1177MB, which predicts an Average Bitrate of 1415 kbit/s). Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Somewhere and somehow something sets the bitrate to 0. That can't be good. :)

The hosting provider of files.x264.nl delete the whole server.
No backups, just dumb people who don't have their paperwork in order. Hopefully it will return soon, with more GHz and HDD space, not that it matters really, i just figured i'd report something positive.

files.x264.nl was only a place to mirror files or for people to put their files online, meaning not having a backup really should not be an issue.

Now we wait.....

P.S.
We can use mirror05.x264.nl aswell, so i guess i'll fix The man an account. (come to irc for details)

[Sharktooth]

uhm... the bitrate is set to 0 (--bitrate 0) so it seems a megui bug.
can you please post that issue in the megui bugreport thread?

[juerginst]

Ok, thanks!

[Sharktooth]

i moved the files from files.x264.nl to mirror05.x264.nl (thanks bobor).
you can download my builds as usual now;)

[unmei]

mirror05.x256.nl
orly? ;)

[Sharktooth]

typo ... fixed >)
