TX264 0.9.8 - GUI for x264 with audio encoding support

[Ruriko]

thanks that new build fixes everything!

[Ruriko]

how do I make the subtitles hardsubbed/burn into video?

At the moment it is not possible. But I've found an up-to-date x264 build which can do that and I plan to use this build.

Really... That's a very clever implementation...

[Ruriko]

any ETA on when you'll implement hard subs feature?

[ozok]

I'm afraid I cannot give any ETA at the moment.

[Ruriko]

For some reason it won't encode the audio

HEv2 only accepts stereo. Your source has 6 channels.

[Ruriko]

HEv2 only accepts stereo. Your source has 6 channels.

So you can't make it convert from 6 channels to stereo?

[ozok]

You should mix it down to stereo. Audio Tab>Effects>Channels>Stereo
BTW 96kbps is a bit high for HEv2, LC or "Auto" might be better choice.

[Ruriko]

If the source has 2 audio tracks it only outputs 1 audio track. How can I get it to mux all audio tracks even if I already selected mkv as the container?

[ozok]

That's not supported at the moment.

[Ruriko]

Is it possible to select one of the two audios?

[ozok]

Yes. As default first one is selected. You can select the one you wanted from combobox. Selecting is enough, you don't have to do anything else.

[Ruriko]

Is ja = Japanese?

[ozok]

AFAIK yes. I think there is a wikipedia page for language codes.

[Ruriko]

I believe JP is the correct language code for Japanese and it's not in the list. I tried JA but it doesn't select the right audio

[ozok]

Are you selecting audio stream from this list right? http://i.imgur.com/cOJ91CB.png
That language list in the audio tab is for the output's language tag.

oops i selected the wrong place

[nakTT]

I'm planning to add support for lame and qaac.
I have a video divided into 2 parts in 2 CD that I need to encode and merge at the same time to make it into just one mkv file. Do this apps have the function for me to do it?

Thank you in advance.

[ozok]

No, it cannot merge it. But if you use the same settings for each part, you can merge them with avidemux without re-encoding.

[nakTT]

No, it cannot merge it. But if you use the same settings for each part, you can merge them with avidemux without re-encoding.
I see, thaks so much for the advise.

If it is not to much trouble, could you tell me how do I use this avidemux to get it done? Thank you in advance.:thanks:

[ozok]

After you encoded two parts, open the first one with avidemux. Then use File>Append in the menu to select the second part. Select container from the left and save the video. Make sure video and audio codecs are set to copy.

I see. How to make sure it do not try to re-encode? And which version should I use, 32 or 64 bit? I am running on Windows & 64 bit.

Btw, thanks so much for your advise.:thanks:

[ozok]

By selecting video and audio codecs as "copy". This way it won't re-encode.

Edit: Version shouldn't matter since you won't be doing encoding.

[nakTT]

By selecting video and audio codecs as "copy". This way it won't re-encode.

I see. Thanks again.:thanks:

Any chance that we can see this function in your apps in the near future?:D

BTW, any idea on how do I remove some parts in my video? For example to remove commercials from a video, btw this is just an example to make you understand me more clearly. What I am going to do is more like removing parts that I don't like in my recorded video.

:) It's easier said then done. Audio here is the problem. Syncing with cut video would be difficult.

[nakTT]

TX264 is a GUI for x264, ffmpeg, mkvmerge, mkvextract, mp4box, faac, neroaacenc, qaac, oggenc2, aften and flac. It is written in Delphi.
Any advice for me to get the latest revision of all (four versions) x264.exe as in your "TX264\Tools\x264" folder?:thanks:

[ozok]

Binaries hosted here seems to be working fine: http://tmod.nmm-hd.org/
Also http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/binaries/
But I plan to use binaries from the first one because it allows burning in subtitles.

[Ruriko]

Is there batch way to select audio for all files? cause I don't want to manually set audio for each video.

[ozok]

there isn't a way to do that in batch.

[ProVision]

It has issues in Windows 8. There is an error report message popping up, but nothing is wrong with the application itself. I don't really mind, but it may give a false impression to new users.

Thanks again for the brilliant application!

[ozok]

What sort of error message do you get? Can you give more information?

[XanaMuui]

Hi,

Today I got this error when I closed Tx264 after a enconding. (in the attachment)

Nothing serious but it is the first time I ever saw it.

[ozok]

Yes don't worry about it, it seems I left a debugging switch on.

[BK-201]

When can we expect an update? with new features, like hardcoding subs and a trim function :D :P

[ozok]

When can we expect an update? with new features, like hardcoding subs and a trim function :D :P
I have no idea. Probably when I decide to start working on TX264 again.

[GMJCZP]

Hello Ozok:

What do you think of this?

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168825

Could be used in the program?

A hug.

[ProVision]

http://i.imgur.com/mejrBdW.png
Sorry Ozok, for the extremely late reply. I totally forgot about it.

[ProVision]

And also, will you ever update TX264? Because if you will, I would love the multiple audio tracks and selecting which subtitle to merge.
Thanks!! :D

[ozok]

@GMJCZP & @ProVision I don't plan to add any more features to TX264. I'll release a bug fix version soon and from there I will only release bug fixes and updates for used backend tools.

I thank you all for your interest in it.

[ProVision]

Oh. Well, then what would you recommend me to use?
Thanks!

[rsotome]

So far, I've found this to be a very easy to use program, thank you very much!

I've been having a problem thou, trying to figure out how to adjust the bitrate so that each movie in the queue has a different bitrate.

Is that even possible?

[ozok]

That's not possible. And as i said I don't plan to add more features to TX264, so it won't available in the future either.

Have I missed something blindingly obvious?

[ozok]

First of all, try using presets, profiles etc. They will work better for most of the time and they will make things easier.

I don't know which x264 options fall into which profile or preset, I simply use presets. If you are getting choppy playback then you must "lower" some settings. For example start with High profile with 4.1 level etc and try to find the best settings for you by lowering your settings step by step.

Also why do you use QuickTime for playback?

[GMJCZP]

When I load a file avisynth with audio track (AudioDub), the program recognizes only the video track. What can you do? Thanks.

[ozok]

Not much, it feeds avs file to x264 and does nothing else. You won't get audio from avisynth scripts in TX264.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Also why do you use QuickTime for playback?It's for streaming support. A few years ago I suggested a different approach, but it's not something I can change...

[GMJCZP]

Not much, it feeds avs file to x264 and does nothing else. You won't get audio from avisynth scripts in TX264.

And there will exist the possibility that in the future the program can do, such as Bencos or Ripbot264?
