x264 rev 598 Color Problems

[Kairk]

I'm having strange color problems with x264 rev 598. It is easiest just to show the problem.

Example 1:

The same avs file and command line was used for both the 593 and 598 encodes.

The commandline used was

F:\Rips\Bat>"C:\Program Files\MeGui\tools\x264\x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 3194 --stats "cur.stats" --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --direct auto --filter 0,0 --subme1 --analyse none --me umh --threads 2 --thread-input --cqmfile "F:\Test\M4G_High_Detail_AVC.cfg" --progress --no-psnr --aq-strength 0.825 --aq-sensitivity 15 --output NUL "F:\Vids\aVid.avs"

F:\Rips\Bat>"C:\Program Files\MeGui\tools\x264\x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate 3194 --stats "cur.stats" --ref 5 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --filter 0,0 --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --me umh --threads 2 --thread-input --cqmfile "F:\Test\M4G_High_Detail_AVC.cfg" --progress --no-psnr --aq-strength 0.825 --aq-sensitivity 15 --output "F:\Vids\aVid.mkv" "F:\Vids\aVid.avs"

and the avs file is
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
Loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AVIsynth 2.5\plugins\decomb.dll")

MPEG2Source("F:\Vids\aVid.d2v")

SelectEven()
Decimate()

The 593 and 598 builds were gotten with MeGui's update.

Any ideas?

Yes, maybe a bug...

[akupenguin]

r596 probably broke aq.

[Numer0bis]

hmm I am using r596 and haven't noticed anything strange in this build yet. Works fine, no weird colours

[DDogg]

I've done about 6 test encodes in the last day or so with r598 and a cursory scan of all does not show these problems. All with a basic script. No decomb.

[DryFire]

Same thing occurs here (I am using aq).

[DDogg]

Yep, sorry, once I scrolled over the 6 feet see the AQ values, and tried them, I also got the effect

[Sharktooth]

ok... aq is broken then.

[Sharktooth]

Fixed in build598A.

Thank you :)

Did a couple encodes and it works fine.
