Hello foks,
i've made a litte testfile to keep up2date with my knowlegde about x264...
i've encoded the main movie of a DVD of mine:
Format: MPEG-4 AVC (mp4)
Size: 703 MB
Video Codec: x264
Audio1 (ger): HE-AAC - VBR_5.1 [120/130kbps]
Audio2 (eng): HE-AAC - VBR_2.0 [30/40kbps]
Subtitle: *.srt
resolution: 608x256
chapter(s): yes
1pass:
--pass 1 --bitrate 670 --stats "C:\DVD\rb_working\blow.stats" --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --filter -2,-1 --subme 1 --analyse none --direct auto --me dia --progress --no-psnr --output NUL "C:\DVD\rb_working\blow.avs"
2pass:
--pass 2 --bitrate 670 --stats "C:\DVD\rb_working\blow.stats" --ref 3 --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --weightb --filter -2,-1 --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --direct auto --me umh --progress --no-psnr --output "C:\DVD\rb_working\blow.mp4" "C:\DVD\rb_working\blow.avs"
i've muxed the 2 audiostreams, the videostream, the subtitle.srt file and the chapter.txt file using YAMB... thx for that tool it works really easy and flawless
the result is a 100% playing mp4 file BUT only in MPC...
I'm using MPC because of the built in mp4 splitter, none the less I have the Haali Media Splitter installed to test other DS based players.
... for example Nero ShowTime. But ShowTime just crashes while opening the file... without any comment :)
at least in Nero ShowTime, shouldn't that file play as well??
and WMP10 gives an error mesages just like a telephone :)

... something like: " this connection can't use the mediatype"
only MPC is able to play that file, with built in splitter or using Haali's... and how nice. Switchable audiotracks, switch the subtitles on/off, forwarding chapters... everything works.
á propos chapters...
their must be a little bug with MPC's built in mp4 splitter. Fast forwarding leads to a crash of MPC, while using Haali's forwarding and rewinding just works as expected.
but I'd like to stick with MPC's internal splitter because of the nice additional infos...
http://i3.tinypic.com/x390up.png
these infos are not shown by MPC if I use Haali's splitter - a pity.
concerning subtitles...
on the onther hand I would use Haali's splitter for subtitles because they are not shown by default while using MPC's splitter they are on by default... not very annoying as it is the other way 'round - either I have to switch them on or in that case, switch them off... but if I could choose I'd like to have them off by default.
another finding concerning subtitles...
if I use MPC's built in splitter it seperates the subtitle.srt file in two possibilities:
Subtitle1: Advanced SubStation Alpha [GPAC Streaming Text Handler]
Subtitle2: UTF-8 [GPAC Streaming Text Handler (plain text)]
while using Haali's splitter I only have plain text - which is more pleasant for my eyes...IMHO
so, upshot...
- in any case stick with mpc but that is no news for you :)
- concerning chapters I'd like to see MPC's built in splitter behave just like Haali's does (please no crash while fast forwarding) and on the other hand,
- concerning additional infos I'd like to see Haali's splitter behave just like gabest one...
P.S: I didn't know where to place my post - feel free to move it where it suits best
