Fedora 14 Linux
core 115 source tarball
Under two pass operation, the first pass normally has --output NUL set to not actually generate anything. But that does not work. A file called NUL is actually created. It still works under Windblows using r1947.
I looked through the x264,c source file and saw nothing that looks for a special filename.
I just recently started doing x264 under Linux, in order to get some special work done. A separate Windblow XP box is doing other x264 work.
I'm beginning to think that instead of "NUL" for the filename, I need to use the special Unix file, "/dev/null".
Why does NUL work under Windblows?
