can get x264 to run in linux.

[modsoul]

hi guys. i am trying to get x264 to work under ubuntu dapper.

i am trying the folling command
x264 --me umh --subme 5 --ref 4 --mixed-refs --min-keyint 12 --min-keyint 600 --bime --weightb --bframes 3 --filter 1:1 --crf 30 --no-fast-pskip --no-psnr --progress -o test.mkv /media/hda5/torrent/completed\ downloads/\[Eclipse\]\ Fate-stay\ night\ -\ 24\ \(h264\)\ \[8DE6AA85\].mkv

the x264 has been compiled from source from subversion.
i also tried the package in ubuntu but both keep sending me to the help. any idea ?

thanks

Hy modsoul
Are you sure that x264 is able to read the source clip? x264 afaik only handles uncompressed yuv data or frames streamed to it from the frameserver AviSynth. Therefore I suggest you to use e.g. MPlayer to output raw frames from the mkv source and pipe them to x264. Or compile MEncoder with x264 support and encode with it directly.

Example that uses ffmpeg as source of a pipe (http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-100764.html)

There was a thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=106365) about different possibilities to server input to x264

Edit: nevermind

oh the slash combinations and space are cuase the thefilenames have spaces.
i think i have been spoiled by my venture into in windows or by using mencoder.
thanks for the info.
