x264 667 gcc 3.4.6 versus 4.2.1 (fprofiled) test please

[bob0r]

See if a certain version crashes, if so, is it random or at the same point(s)... Let us know!

Hmm @ file sizes :)

Also speed results would be nice, if the new gcc builds don't crash!

[morph166955]

I'm going to assume that one of them crashes on your end hence the testing...

I'm off from work today so i'll run some tests for ya! any particular length/size of the video and/or any specific cli settings you would like tested?

Tested a 5min d2s avs. Speed difference between GCC's only within error. fprofile, nice boost :cool: E6300. Sharktooths crf with 20crf, SSIM and no-fast-pskip

gcc3.4.6 ........... 14.20 fps Y:0.9771184 44,013,165 bytes
gcc3.4.6-fprofiled 14.63 fps Y:0.9771186 44,014,206 bytes
gcc4.2.1 ........... 14.22 fps Y:0.9771186 44,014,073 bytes
gcc4.2.1-fprofiled 14.60 fps Y:0.9771187 44,013,584 bytes

@mitsubishi
All 4 builds gave different output files? Are any of them deterministic? Is your input deterministic?

@morph166955
The other possible reason is just that gcc4.2 for mingw isn't officially considered stable (or did it just become stable?), and fprofile is probably one of the less well tested options since most projects can't use it.

aku, this was my script, is any of it a problem?
DGDecode_mpeg2source("J:\New Folder (2)\GS2.d2v")
crop( 4, 2, -4, -2)
Spline36Resize(640,352)
Undot()
Trim(100,7600)

I'm prepping up a HD 1min test with this:
loadplugin("DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("seq.dga")
Spline36Resize(1280,720)
Trim(2,1501)

I'm running it with the same options originally used right now except that I'm storing it as a .264 instead of a .mp4 to make sure that the size diffs that were seen above aren't related to any of that. I'll post my results shortly.

Notice how the fprofiled runs went slower on the same settings then the non fprofiled ones by a good amount?

Also, i diffed the 4 .264 files, all files were identical (returned error code 0)

Ran a 2-pass on a 1080 scaled to 720. Each filesize was identical, both in mp4 and after extraction (24,183,234 bytes), files are not bit identical in the mp4 though (meta data?) but are when extracted to raw. Times were also near enough identical.

11.65 fps 1.80 fps
11.64 fps 1.74 fps < Probably me using forgetting and using PC :rolleyes:
11.62 fps 1.81 fps
11.64 fps 1.80 fps

I ran an external SSIM test afterwards and every frame matches identically in each result.

Should I re-run the second test's command on the first tests source to find out where the non-deterministic behaviour comes from?

OK ran the HD source through the one-pass and once again variance, speed boost in fprofiled.

Y:0.9810051 3.27 fps 31,168,332 bytes
Y:0.9810045 3.36 fps 31,167,664 bytes
Y:0.9810054 3.27 fps 31,167,114 bytes
Y:0.9810050 3.36 fps 31,168,488 bytes

However, I ran the gcc3.4.6 again and got

Y:0.9810053 3.28 fps 31,167,607 bytes

So the variance isn't down to the build, it is inherent in the command line.
