No Image on PS3 (Wrong x264 config?)

[SquallMX]

Hi, i brought a new laptop, and I´m trying to create BD5 discs compatibles with my PS3, but I´m having a problem, the disc "start" fine, but without video only audio, I using MeGUI+DGIndexNV, in my old computer everything was working ok but I accidentally deleted the "Encoder Settings" that I was using so i was unable to import them onto my new pc, i think that something is not properly configurated and thats the reason of my problem.

This is my comand line (generated by MeGUI):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe" --level 3.2 --tune film --pass 2 --bitrate 4600 --stats "D:\Temp\MovTemp\Ninja\NA 720p.stats" --deblock -2:-1 --keyint 48 --min-keyint 4 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid strict --ref 4 --weightp 0 --qpmax 44 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 15000 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --rc-lookahead 48 --aq-strength 0.8 --merange 18 --me umh --direct auto --psy-rd 0.80:0.00 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --ssim --sar 1:1 --output "D:\Temp\MovTemp\Ninja\NA 720p.mkv" "D:\Temp\MovTemp\Ninja\NA.avs"

And a small sample (for USB PS3):

your issue is that you export to .mkv file, try change it to .264, I had the same issues in the last couple of x264 release (everything after r1542), then someone pointed out that I sould use .264 and everything was fine after I muxed my .264 and audio in tsmuxer to avchd. Hope this help.

But you might also need to change --level to 4.1 and --ref to 3.

Thanks, using RAW output fixed my problem, is weird that previous version didn't have this issue.

Yea, I reported this in another thread, but no one seems to take notice of it.

There is no problem at all. Earlier patches of HRD are use same calculations for all containers, but patches been experimental and only focus been on raw output.

I dont know what have changed then, but something did change. Try create a avchd compatible mkv file with both r1542 and newest x264 and mux it to avchd (tsmuxer) and play it back on ps3. One will give black screen (newest x264) other will play fine (r1542 and previous vers).

It's realy miracle how earlier versions work with mkv, because mkv completly "screw" original aud/sps data which is required. In earlier x264 versions TsMuxer correct SPS/PPS but i with lastest HRD, after mkv muxing, some partial information is still there, and TsMuxer probably thinks that have all necessary things, and mux "broken" stream.
