x264Encoder 1.2.x for QuickTime Thread

[MyCometG3]

x264Encoder Version 1.2.13 is now available at:
- http://www003.upp.so-net.ne.jp/mycometg3/

Based on libx264.a r1659.

Any possibility for MP4 / MKV output inside the encoder?

Nope. x264Encoder is designed as compressor component.

Under QuickTime system, file handling is part of exporter or importer component. I do not do any exporter code for now.

Wow, this thing is awesome. Is there any way to add this to quicktime on a windows machine?

Now that's what I like to see!

The r1712 (http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=commitdiff;h=518dbbc89c29691482d31666ba46add429a9cb9e) seems to be BIG issue for Apple iPad users...

Dark,
I know this is NOT x264's fault, but I hope some summary page about incompatibility issues similar to this...

Is there any way to set the nal hrd parameter, withour activating BD tunings?

Currently, if you specify two vbv parameters, --nal_hrd vbv is applied implicitly.

//

Here is patch snippet, implicit setting part for libx264.c.
+ /* Modify non-gui-supported parameters */
+ if (x4->params.rc.i_vbv_buffer_size && x4->params.rc.i_vbv_max_bitrate) {
+ x4->params.i_nal_hrd = X264_NAL_HRD_VBR;
+ }
+ if (x4->params.b_interlaced) {
+ x4->params.b_pic_struct = 1;
+ }
+ if (p && p->BD_TUNE) {
+ x4->params.i_nal_hrd = X264_NAL_HRD_VBR;
+ x4->params.b_pic_struct = 1;
+ x4->params.i_bframe_pyramid = X264_B_PYRAMID_STRICT;
+ x4->params.i_slice_count = 4;
+ x4->params.i_open_gop = x4->params.i_open_gop ? X264_OPEN_GOP_BLURAY : X264_OPEN_GOP_NONE;
+ }

Great plugin! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

I am planning to use this for exporting from CS5 Premier on 10.7.2. However, I am a bit confused by some of the setting descriptions in the advanced section and the interaction between settings.

What I would like to do is replicate the following settings for Blu-ray encoding:

--bitrate 35000 --preset veryslow --tune film --bluray-compat --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --open-gop --slices 4 --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --sar 1:1 --pass 1 (or --pass 2) -o out.264 input.file

Would it be possible to add a text box that would override all the GUI settings and simply pass the parameters (like those above) directly to x264? This would be an extremely flexible option.
