I have bought a portable media player and would like to re-encode the videos to watch the videos on the player. The encoder I am using is x264 via MeGUI. The problem is the encoder often (not always) hangs during first pass (Never hangs at second pass). The AVC profile used is Baseline Level 5.1. Details as below:
Input file:
AVC in .mp4 container, loaded via AviSynth 2.57 build Dec 31 2006, Avs syntax:
Directshowsource("filename.mp4", fps=23.976, convertfps=true)
MeGUI settings:
x264 and MeGUI are up-to-date using the update function of MeGUI.
Automated 2-pass
program --pass 2 --bitrate 380 --stats ".stats" --ref 2 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --vbv-bufsize 1000 --vbv-maxrate 10000 --ratetol 4.0 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-dct-decimate --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"
Thread priority: low
Hardware info:
Dell Inspiron 6400 (Laptop)
Intel Core Duo T2400@1.83 GHz
2.5 GB DDR2 SODIMM RAM
Symptoms:
Encoding halted at a random point, and halted at another random point when the job is restarted. Encoding might be successful after several tries. CPU load fall to 0%.
On the status window, Processing rate keep falling (due to hanged job), time elapsed and time remaining keep increasing but the position in clip won't refresh.
The computer is idling when the encoding job is running.
Can anyone help me?
