x264 exe with visualization support

[ramprasad85]

i am able to compile x264 in visual studio 2005.
when i use the generated exe with --visualize option it says
x264 [warning]: not compiled with visualization support How can i generate an exe with visualization support in VS8?
i downloaded the latest x264 exe from x264.nl (core 65). when i set the option "-q 0" the generated video is corrupted. The only version that workes for me was core 57 which i am still using. why is it so? (snapshot attached)

:thanks:

:thanks:Your decoder is too old and does not support x264's lossless mode correctly. You need a version of libavcodec from within the past few weeks or the latest CoreAVC.

And, last I checked, visualization is broken on Linux with X.Org... v1.4, it was then. I made a thread, I think.

There _are_ implementations of X11 for Windows (Xming)... if you want. Good luck. Not sure if x264 needs to compile against X.Org though... in which case you'd need to add X.Org to a MinGW environment... hmm... in fact, what if the problems I had were because the virtualization was intended for XFree86 and broke with X.Org? hm.

I downloaded the latest ffmpeg and x264 code. compiled it (on linux) and it worked fine with the x264's lossless output. :thanks:
I could use x264's visualization on linux. :cool:
My understanding is that all H.264 encoders 'will' generate streams which can be decoded by 'any' H.264 decoder. and that i thought was the very purpose of a standard. am i wrong?
I think it would be great if x264 has a decoder also !

Thank you
