x264 Windows x64 support

[Egh]

Mostly read (except AVI/AVS input)

As I recently found out by myself x264 fails to read any AVI over 2GB regardless of the build, it is per design and that fact is conveniently omitted from the documentation :))

@komisar mind compiling a proper fprofiled x264bit build for us? (gpac/pthreads) :)

[komisar]

Information: for correct building libgcov.a (need for profiling) in gcc configure must use "--prefix=/XXX --with-sysroot=/XXX" for x86_64-pc-mingw32.

P.S. If anybody interest, I publish my last mingw cross-compile toolchain...

I recently moved to a 64bit OS -- is it worthwhile to use the 64bit build of x264 yet, or should I stick to the 32bit for now? And can it be used with megui at all, or is it CLI only for now?

ripbot264 will use the 64 bit in the recent build.

cant use megui as yet, well not easily anyway.

Always do!

I hope that the more critical bugs fixed...

For simple self-building cross-compile toolchain I make small scripts.

Hi roozhou,

Have you update of "Namedpipe.exe" ? :thanks:

I have Windows 10 x64, my problem is with large cmd.
My problem is with a large number of file in a home made GUI, "Namedpipe.exe" remains on stand-by from time to time.
".\NamedPipe.exe" "\\.\pipe\pipe_88741.y4m" ".\x264_x64.exe" --crf 28 --preset ultrafast --force-cfr --stdin y4m --output ".\TMP_Video.24" - | ".\mplayer.exe" ".\MOV_0715.mov" -lavdopts threads=11 -vf scale=160:90 -correct-pts -fps 30000/1001 -noframedrop -nofontconfig -vo yuv4mpeg:file="\\.\pipe\pipe_88741.y4m" -ao pcm:fast:file=".\TMP_Audio.wav"

http://i67.tinypic.com/awqlw9.png

Rename attached file to Namedpipe.exe

usage:

Namedpipe pipename exename args

1) pipename must start with \\.\pipe\
2) exename is the program that you want to redirect its stdin
3) args is extra command-line arguments for exename, remember to put at least 2 spaces between exename and args

e.g. pipe mplayer's to neroAacEnc

1) in 1st cmd window, type "Namedpipe \\.\pipe\1.wav neroAacEnc.exe -q 0.3 -ignorelength -if - -of xxx.mp4"
2) in 2nd cmd window, type "mplayer xxx.xxx -vc NULL -vo NULL -ao fast:file=\\.\pipe\1.wav"
