How to save log...

[Manaka]

when encoding with x264 command line?

Sorry about this noob question, I'm newbie here :o

Also on my core i7 machine, x264 (x64 build) can't use full of my CPU. Any suggestion?

forgive my bad english

do you mean --output "encode.log"

[Dark Shikari]

do you mean --output "encode.log"No, I mean exactly what I said, to the letter.

Ah I see, thank you

and about my core i7 (920@4.1 Ghz) , x264 just use 80-85% of it?

Settings? Souce? AVS-Script? :rolleyes:

Frametype decision isn't threaded so especially if you use --b-adapt 2 and a lot of b-frames that becomes the bottleneck.

my setting
x264.exe --pass 1 --bitrate 8000 --stats ".stats" --level 4.1 --ref 9 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 6 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --direct auto --deblock -3:-3 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --psy-rd 0.7:0.7 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --chroma-qp-offset -4 --vbv-bufsize 50000 --vbv-maxrate 50000 --me umh --merange 32 --threads 8 --thread-input --aq-strength 0.7 --cqmfile "E:\encode\custom_matrices\eqm_avc_hr.cfg" --progress --no-dct-decimate --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "NULL" "encode720p.avs"

--bframes 6 --b-adapt 2 --threads 8


use 3 or 4 bframes with b-adapt 2
and threads auto. Which from memory is --threads 0

and threads auto. Which from memory is --threads 0

--threads auto is also accepted for using the automatic setting.
