x264 Mobile Phone Anime Settings?

[ViciousXUSMC]

I just got a new phone (Sony W760) and it supports H264 & AAC and I was a happy camper when I read this. However nowhere on this god given earth can I locate the information on the optimal settings or what kind of profile it supports.

I tried my usual very high quality settings on an episode of Naruto to no avail, audio plays on the phone but no video.

I decided to use MeGUI and use the presets for mobile phone, 1.3 works but was too slow, causing video to be out of sync. 1.0 works but quality was something awful.

So I tweaked it a bit. Looks like around 200Kbps is the sweet spot for where the phone can handle it and quality is bearable.

And since its Anime I bumped up the deblock filter to 1,1

So now I just want to know since I have a baseline what settings can I bump up that will increase quality, with the expensive of encoding time without making it harder on the phone to render or are considered high profile that the phone wont support.

Using the MeGUI Cellphone 1.1 preset as the baseline as its about perfect.

If you need/want more information just let me know.

Give the x264 settings that you are using.

This is a copy from MeGUI's little interface so its not an exact mirror of what you would use if running x264 from the command line but you can tell whats being used.

program --pass 2 --bitrate 192 --stats ".stats" --level 1.1 --deblock 1:1 --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4
--qpmin 16 --vbv-bufsize 500 --vbv-maxrate 192 --me umh --merange 12 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"

edit: inserted break in code was causing horizontal scrolling of the thread.

So nothing eh?

Shame, even the settings I found worked before dont seem to work so well for every video, I had a music video and it would randomly just stutter with the same settings causing sync issues.
