cant install the latest x264

[masterisaa]

hey, iam newbie, and i hope you can help me

for almost a year i had no problem with x264... but recently when i try encoding some videos (with good quality) like "bleach" n im talking about the RAW ones... the picture (after encode) looks so ugly, some frames have alot of noise... distortion or what ever you call..... i thought the problem is in "virtual dub mod" which i use for along time.............so i used megui, but the same thing happened........

so i thout it would be the x264 codec......... and im using x264 vfw

so i looked for a new version... i found one, but when i click on it, a CMD window appears for a second.... and then nothing changes...........

so their is two problems, one is the noise, other in setting up x264

there is the x264 i was tring to set up
http://download.cnet.com/windows/x264/3260-20_4-6303738.html?tag=mncol (http://download.cnet.com/windows/x264/3260-20_4-6303738.html?tag=mncol)

and ofcouse tried from x264.nl

and same thing happened

sorry for bad lang

waiting for HELP

If you downloaded x264 from x264.nl all you got was the command line encoder, which is what you should be using instead of the VfW wrapper.

As for the problems you are describing, I have no idea what you might be seeing. You might want to try some samples, screen shots or even decent typing.

Maybe he's seeing the problems caused by using CoreAVC < 2.0 and --weightp 2?

thanx for the post, the picture with weightp 2 Describe my issue exactly...

but i don't even use coreavc..... its a problem with x264 i think

please, share your opinion....

[sneaker_ger]

Are you sure you don't have it installed? CoreAVC < 2.0 is the only software decoder known to show these obvious artefacts on decoding. Please also note that the artifacts could be "created" at two different times:
1.) while decoding your "raw" file, as you called it (in case you encoded the tv capture with x264) and before encoding (thus encoding the artefacts totally ruining your encode)
2.) when decoding your final file

Maybe some kind of codec pack installed CoreAVC without your knowledge. Try looking for it with some kind of directshow filter manager (like this one for example (http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm)).

ok.... you might be angry now, but i have K-lite codec............. i talled you ....newbie

now, is downloading CoreAVC 2.0 will remove this issue??

cause in the properties i can see its version is 1.3.0.0

or what should i do?

[sneaker_ger]

Yes, you could either buy version 2.0 or use a different decoder like ffdshow or Divx (both freeware, unlike CoreAVC).

[masterisaa]

ok, how do i use ffdshow.............. isn't it writing in avisynth script like

directShowSource=("video.mp4", fps=23.976, convertfps=true, audio=true).changeFPS(24000,1001,true).textsub("video.ass")

isn't that right?

[sneaker_ger]

DirectShowSource will use the DirectShow filter with the highest merit, which is CoreAVC in your case. You have to install ffdshow and either deinstall CoreAVC or lower its merit with a filter manager.
Another option would be not to use directshowsource but ffmpeg source. You can download the plugin here (http://ffmpegsource.googlecode.com/files/ffms2-r292.7z) (Copy files to avisynth plugin directory)

You script should then look like this:
audio=ffaudiosource("video.mp4")
video=ffvideosource("video.mp4",fpsnum=24000,fpsden=1001)
AudioDub(video, audio)
textsub("video.ass")

ok, iam going to try your advice... and see what the result is

sneaker_ger, i appreciate your help very much

thanx
