x264 presets new and old

[ghelyar]

Is there a chart/list anywhere that shows the conversion between the old x264 .ffpreset files and the new preset options?

That is, what is now -preset, -tune and -profile?

I used to use -vpre fastfirstpass for pass 1 and -vpre hq for pass 2.

Should those be simply -preset fast and -preset slow under the new preset options and is pass 1 then automatically using the firstpass options, or am I going about this wrong?

I haven't looked at libav source code or tried them, but I suspect they are the same as the corresponding options in x264 cli.

I used to use -vpre fastfirstpass for pass 1 and -vpre hq for pass 2.

Should those be simply -preset fast and -preset slow under the new preset options and is pass 1 then automatically using the firstpass options, or am I going about this wrong?

If it now works like x264 CLI, this should do it:

pass 1: -preset slow -pass 1
pass 2: -preset slow -pass 2

Also keep in mind that generally the first pass goes much faster than the 2nd pass even if you have them both set to same* (unless you use --slow-firstpass).

*unless you are limited by the speed that your source can serve frames to x264.
