me_range not changing when set to a higher level

[[AS]]

Hey fellas, back again with an issue that is just plain stumping me :P

Basically a few weeks ago for some odd reason my entire megui installation including x264, avisynth, et cetera went haywire (corrupted).. So i removed it all, down to the registry, followed by re installing it all :P

Well now my issue is that when i set my me_range to a higher setting, it says the change has been updated in my x264 script, but when i encode a clip, it says me_range is at 16...

I have no idea how to fix this.

I've tried reinstalling megui and x264, but to no avail..

Hope you fellas can help me out! :thanks:

What motion search method did you select? For Dia and Hex the maximum range is 16.

i use hex for the motion search, i want the merange however to be 64, but even tho i update my settings, my encodes end up having me_range=16..

Which gives me results i dislike :P

Read nurbs' post again. And this:

HEX is a gradient descent search, increasing the range will have no measurable effect...

Thanks for the help fellas, i'm sorry for not understanding nurbs post.

Issue Solved!
