Which program will allow me to copy these settings?

[Mr901]

I have a video that has nice quality for my backups to save space, i tried copying the info i got from Media INfo Lite into avisytnth and surprisingly it didnt work :P(i had to try it)

Heres the info

cabac=1 / ref=8 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=9 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=16 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=810 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

Any ideas what program will allow me to get these settings?


Thanks in advance.

I'm not really familiar with all of x264's options, but MeGUI should do the job.
Click on the configuration button for the encoder. If you select the option to show advanced settings you should be able to change many of those x264 settings via MeGUI's interface. For those you can't there's a space under the Misc tab for entering custom command lines. Or just leave the interface settings alone and copy and paste the whole lot into the custom command line section.
When you're done, save the configuration as an x264 encoder preset.

As far as I know x264 writes many of the encoder settings used, even the default ones, so there'll probably be a long list of encoder settings even if you just use x264's defaults.
I'm not familiar enough with the options to tell you which of yours are simply default settings, or to be able to tell you what they do off the top of my head, but you can look them up here.

You shouldn't have to enter the default options at all.

So, you forgot how you created the video? Or you can't ask the person who made it?

The x264 settings are just one part, you didn't post any script which could have a great influence on the quality.

Thanks, i'll try this :thanks:

I didnt make the original video, And i asked the person, im yet to receive a response

EDIT: Copying all of the commands into the custom msc section makes megui freeze and not do anything

You don't input your parameters into the custom misc section since it will clash with the default parameters of the profile.
You need to set the settings using the different tabs and sections and input the value through the GUI.

I believe he tried to copy and paste the MediaInfo details... which of course will not work since they are in a different format.

I tried to go thru the options to see if it would add the options that the file had, since pasting it wouldnt work

cabac=1 / / / analyse=0x3:0x133 / / / psy=1 / / mixed_ref=1 / / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / / b_pyramid=2 / / / direct=3 / weightb=1 / / / / / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=810 / ratetol=1.0 / / / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / / aq=1:1.00


I couldnt find those options using MeGUI

According to the tooltip for the custom command line, anything entered into it will over-ride the parameters specified in the GUI.
I tried entering a few and it does seem to work that way.

I guess that's my fault as I suggested he do so. :(

Mr901, you'd have to change the format when pasting them into the command line. ie:
--bitrate 810 --ratetol 1.0

Whether you'll find them all using the GUI may depend on which encoding mode you're using. For instance cplxblur and qblur are both there but greyed out if you've selected constant quality mode under the first (Main) tab. They're the two "Temp. Blur" settings under the Rate Control tab. Both are using the default x264 values (cplxblur=20.0, qblur=0.5) in your post below so entering them won't actually achieve anything.
Also I think anything with an underscore in it will have to be changed, ie b_pyramid should be b-pyramid

Speaking of which, the b-pyramid options are "--b-pyramid none", "--b-pyramid strict" and "--b-pyramid normal" which can be accessed via the GUI and I'm pretty sure equates to b-pyramid 1, b-pyramid 2 and b-pyramid 3. I'm not sure if you can enter them either way though.
