View Full Version : x264 "core" version breakdown?

This is probably a bit of a silly request, but I was looking at some of my older x264 encodes with mediainfo and some of them (mostly mkv's I think) only list the x264 core and not the actual revision number. I was wondering if there was a list somewhere that showed which rev numbers went with each x264 core. If not it's not a big deal, this is just for my curiosity.

Thanks

Plz use git. You can find all information in commit log.

Also the "core" (API) version doesn't change with every revision. It only changes every once a while, i.e. when the API of libx264 changes.

Have a look at the history of x264.h:
http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=history;f=x264.h;h=d30effef13c768462da6bb631e663827f4a365c1;hb=bd72d46f71e102597645a5fac2858663f85373ce

This shows all the relevant revisions with a potential change of the core version. You must look out for the "X264_BUILD" macro in the x264.h file.

BTW: For mapping between Git commits and the corresponding revision numbers, you may find this (http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/changelog.txt) document useful...
