6of9 for x264(custom matrices for archive)?

[Valeron]

6of9 for XviD produce results that make me quite pleasure. I'd like to try x264 for 1080p archive. Generally 30%~40% of the origin bitrates are acceptable. Is there any 6of9 counterpart for x264? Or any settings would yield what I need?

You can find CQMs for x264 here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117041), but from the creator of some of those matrices:I was going to leave this post as it was, but it has been recently bumped to the front page. Currently the cases that these cqms were meant to fix are handled very well by psychovisual optimizations within X264, such as Dark Shikari's aq, psy rd, and psy trellis, which usually work better then cqms, in my (and everyone elses) opinion. Cqms can still be usefull, but not most of the time, and certainly not for the majority of people.
So I wouldn't recommend using them.

You should look at the presets (quality/speed trade-off) and tunings (source type) (forum post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148149); mewiki (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings)) in x264 and find a CRF (~quality difference from source) that gives you the desired quality. You won't know the resulting filesize as it will be adapted depending on the content of the source.

You'll end up with something simple likex264.exe --crf 22 --preset slow --tune film -o output input
x264.exe --crf 20 --preset fast --tune animation -o output input
