support for other encoders like qaac, quicktime for aac will be helpfull.

I'm planning to add support for lame and qaac.

[Hobbe]

qaac would be great.. and ac3 encoding with ffmpeg.

What's the difference between TEncoder and this? Same developer ?

[ozok]

What's the difference between TEncoder and this? Same developer ?

Yes i develop both tool but they are very different tools. This is dedicated to h264 encoding.

[ozok]

Update:

--0.6
-Added: Update downloader
-Added: CRF values are now float
-Added: Skin and images
-Added: Menus

After this version you'll be able to download just update.exe within program instead of whole package.

[meshaun]

No autocrop option ozok?
That will be great, you know

[easyfab]

Thanks for this GUI, it looks promising.

quick report :

- Audio/neroaac/quality : selection doesn't work correctly go directly from 0,00 to 1,00
- Filters/Resize/resize method (with x264 ) : Resize method doesn't apply ( I don't see it in the log )

Requests :

- Could you add a menu/option for --seek and --frames or something like that to select the start and the duration of the encode
- an option for output directory -> same as the original file
- WMV in the suported files list ( it works without problems for me )

[ozok]

@meshaun only way i know of detecting autocrop values is to run MPlayer. Is there any other way that wouldn't bloat file size?

@easyfab thanks for the bug report. I've already fixed resize method problem but i wasn't aware of Nero one. They will be fixed with next release.

And I'll add your requests as well, they seem to be easy to implement.

[meshaun]

Avisynth can detect auto crop I believe. And MeGUI uses that. The MeGUI autocrop is working perfect. You can try that ozok

I tried using Avisynth for the first time in my life and managed to add resize, crop and deinterlace avisynth filters (with a bit of copying from Staxrip but hey who cares). But i couldn't get AutoCrop.dll working.

If you guys have other filters, please let me know so i can try and add them as well.

http://doom10.org/index.php?topic=1255.0

Please check those. I really want to contribute to your project.
Did you think about the Extracting the subtitle files with the output? Like, encode the video file and select the subtitle files on the .mkv and extract them to the output folder too? Maybe a subtitle convertor intergration would be nice. I haven't seen that anywhere yet. :)

[ozok]

@meshaun i can add an option to whether to mux or just copy subtitles.

regarding autocropping, i'll look into it deeper but i'll be off for next 1-2 weeks.

[meshaun]

Ohhh, that's a loss :( But it's your life, and I gotta thank for what you've done so far.
Be back and develop it :)

[StainlessS]

Link in 1st post dont work (https?, "Server Not Found").

EDIT:

http://"https://sourceforge.net/projects/tx264/"

try

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tx264/

PS, your link to homepage via working link above dont work, "http://tx264"

On features list on that page, Still support ffmpeg.

[prijatelj.v]

I have no doubt that this program works well, but I can not run.Obviously something is missing.
Windows 7 (32bit) throws an error:

http://files.myopera.com/prijateljv/albums/11738802/TX264-2.jpg

[ozok]

@StainlessS thx link should work now. And also removed FFMpeg info.

@prijatelj.v is there a bugreport.txt file in the program folder? And can you click "View problem details" and post what it shows? Also some info about your PC's hardware wouldn't hurt either.

[prijatelj.v]

If you think bugreport.txt on file in the program (TX264),does not it,or I can not find it.Details of the problem info in the picture:

http://files.myopera.com/prijateljv/albums/11738802/X264%20Error%20Define.jpg

besides microsoft explanation,there is a(erofflps)txt info you can look at(epicpaste)the link:
http://epicpaste.com/index.php/view/9efbd439
honestly,I'm not clear.
directories of my basic hardware you see in the following picture:

http://files.myopera.com/prijateljv/albums/11738802/System%20Info%20Win7.jpg

Your answer will probably be that low cpu or slightly ram-s,but I do with this configuration, a solid work with some programs,I only conversion process takes longer.Your professional response we will definitely use.No matter what,thank a lot.

[hdboy]

I wrote a post but it seems to have disappeared so I'm rewriting.

This is a very nice program, attractive and easy to use. Maybe not for power users, but excellent for others. Thank you.

What would be cool is making the queue editable while encoding, so you can add files. What happens is I add some files, click start, then say oops, i want to add another one, but now I have to wait for it to finish. I guess you'll need two windows or integrate the encoding window into the main one somehow.

Another possible enhancement is to make the settings adjustable for each file. Different crf, container, resize option, etc. Click on each file or select multiple files, change the settings below, and it only applies to selected files. In the queue list, you can add, beside the filename a summary of major options (crf, codec, etc.) You can have an additional Settings menu: apply settings to all files, save settings as default, save settings as ... (name), load settings ... (name).

I think these will be nice to have w/o making the UI too much more complicated.

thanks.

[ozok]

@prijatelj.v AFAIK delphi sometimes produces binaries that have problems with AMD CPUs and again AFAIK that goes back to Delphi 3. I'll try to tweak compiling settings to overcome that problem. If you agree, I'll send you newly compiled exes.

@hdboy one of my friends complained me about that too. But thing is all the encoding parameters are generated at once for all the files in the list. So editing queue during encoding process is rather difficult for now. Maybe a different approach is the solution. If you know of any tools with that capacity, let me know so i can have a general idea.
I aimed TX264 to be a batch encoding tool but you seem to have a fair point, I'll look into that.

[prijatelj.v]

If you think you'll be able to use the TX264,of course I agree with the proposal to send:("newly compiled exes"),but it's not clear,so if you can with it and an explanation.Thank you for your interest in the solution to my problem.

[ozok]

@prijatelj.v I'm going to send you TX264.exe that may work.

[hdboy]

I kinda assumed you invoke the tools separately for each file, so it's no problem doing something like

x264 --crf 18 --output "a.mp4" "a.wmv"
x264 --crf 20 --output "b.mp4" "b.wmv"

but I guess it's not that simple.

Editing the queue while encoding is a bit complicated. (Obviously, you don't allow changes to files already done or currently encoding.) Maybe you can just do the easy case of allowing adding to the queue. If user drags and drops on the encoding window, ask "add to queue y/n?" and use whatever the current settings are. But this means you can't just generate all the commands at the start. is it that much harder to generate the commands for each file once the previous file is finished?

well, something to think about :)

[ozok]

@hdboy editing options for each file separately doesn't look difficult, i think i can add that.
about editing queue during process, your post made me think and a solution can be formulated based on your suggestion, i suppose.
thanks.

nice GUI, can this encode in x264 10-bit-depth?

[ozok]

@ckmox thx.

no, not at the moment. But you can replace 264.exe in Tools folder with 10-bit one and see what happens. Try tweaking profile, presets and tune.

[rexdeymond]

! sorry my english bad ! i like using your tx264 gui this like minicoder (discontinued and not update)

I can be a little problem when using 0.7.2 Tx264 up, when I convert the movie anime all went smoothly with no problems, but when I do not find a complete description of the file earlier in the output folder (my ouput in " D:\ ")
I am using win 7 x64

Can you send me the log?

If you are using mp4 as container and your windows (or system's temp folder) is located at a driver other than "D:\" that can cause the problem.

[rexdeymond]

If you are using mp4 as container and your windows (or system's temp folder) is installed at a driver other than "D:\" that can cause the problem.

where the log, i tired make ouput in D: or c: or oher folder or default output, I convert the movie with the number 5 to the above, the results are only movie in queue 1 and queue 2 looks better then 3 and so on always succeed but the file does not exist in the output folder, if I use the Run as administrator in the first queue file to run properly hereinafter queue 2 and the subsequent experiencing the same issue with both using mp4 or mkv

EDIT:
I think window system's temp folder problem, in log tell temp cannot delete or merge something like that, you have solution to fix it

[fantasmanegro]

post it!

[ozok]

@rexdeymond on main window at the bottom-left there is a button labeled "Logs/Outputs", click on it and from the new window click "Save" then send me the saved txt file. also you can send me screenshots or info about problematic files.

[rexdeymond]

@ ozok
I have some questions about the features present, can you give details about the features of the present, I used to use the medium, but when I use a very fast computer I always die alone instead of a BSOD, but what if I use the fast and the quality convet faster than convert what better or worse than the medium, you have recommendation what must i use for fast and good quality

[ozok]

Looks like TX264 detects chapters even though file hasn't got any.

About presets, from http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings:

preset

Default: medium

Change options to trade off compression efficiency against encoding speed. If you specify a preset, the changes it makes will be applied before all other parameters are applied.

You should generally set this option to the slowest you can bear.

Values available: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.

Note the bold parts.

[fantasmanegro]

please!......

use common chars in folder name, it is recommended not to use names like "D:\D A T A ~ V I D E O\{ = X ! X = }" for example...

[rexdeymond]

@ozok thanks I've fixed the problem by unchecking the mux chapter, Can you make a feature file size, because I'm too lazy to calculate birate file if I convert a lot of movies

[ozok]

@rexdeymond i'll look into file size thing.

[rexdeymond]

@ozok : I can be the same problem with the first, but with a different file and I feel TX264 (0.7.4.1523) runs with no good to use subtitle files with style
Note: I tried to use MKV or MP4 as the container still has the same problem

[Mr. Monte]

Download works now. Just ran for first time. I get a can't find neroaac file error. I'm assuming your download does not include this file. I have it. Where do I stick it. If there are anymore files I need to complete full functionality..please advise. BTW, might want to put this in a FAQ text file with the download.

[ozok]

@Mr. Monte place it in the Tools folder. You can disable that warning by following "Other Options">"Do not warn if neroaacenc is not present", if you don't want to have neroaacenc. All other files are there. I was not sure whether it'd cause problems if i had added it to the package. FAQ sound like a good idea thx.

@all

No further help on this issue is to be given.

[Ronin-7]

Very nice UI ozok, any chance of Flac audio encoding support being added in the future ?

Thanks.

[ozok]

Very nice UI ozok, any chance of Flac audio encoding support being added in the future ?

Thanks.


Sure. I'll add it to the next release.

[ozok]

Update:

--0.7.5
-Added: Levels
-Added: Support for FLAC
-Added: Option to specify file size (roughly)
-Added: Option to specify aspect ratio
-Added: Checks if file has any chapters
-Fixed: Unnecessary Sox processes

[Mr. Monte]

ozok,

Need some assistance please. When I click on the Audio tab..there are many options. How do I select what audio encoder I want to use. Seems all the tabs are active.

Also, I had a .divx file that encoded fine, but is not one of your supported file options. I had to select the dropdown and select all files to encode it. Might want to add .divx to the list

TIA

[ozok]

@Mr. Monte the one that is active, that is to say selected, will be used as audio encoder. I'll add divx to supported extensions, thx.

[ozok]

Update:

--0.7.6
-Added: Predefs to keep encoding settings for different situations
-Added: TX264 now adds an index if output file already exists
-Added: TX264 now checks output file to detect errors (does not work with splitting)
-Added: Encoding errors will be shown in the log and progress list
-Added: Audio encoder can be selected from a list
-Improved: Carried splitting options to filters page
-Fixed: Files added during encoding did not show on progress list
-Fixed: Invalid files could be added during encoding

[ozok]

Update:

--0.7.7
-Fixed: TX264 shows error even though output files exist
-Updated: FFMpeg to N-41843-gc17808c
-Updated: mkvmerge to 5.6.0
-Updated: mkvextract to 5.6.0

[Spaceman-Spiff]

I'm really liking this encoder GUI a lot. Thanks for the work, ozok :)

[Video Dude]

-Added: Option to specify file size (roughly)

Does this option consider audio as well?

For example, if I set the file size to 500MB, will the x264 video stream be 500MB or will the mp4/mkv (video+audio) be 500MB?

[ozok]

@Video Dude, video+audio will be 500MB. But as i stated in the change log, it gives a rough estimation. It won't work if you select to copy or disable audio, for now.

[BK-201]

First off this is a really nice encoder, it has actually replaced my other ones, and it works pretty well under Wine for Ubuntu XD

Secondly there are some things I've noticed:
1.) Even though there there is a x264.exe only the 8bit version works, when the 8bit x264.exe is swapped with the 10bit one and when the encode is started the video gets skipped, then the audio attempts to encode but it errors out at the end. So, Question is, why wont the 10bit x264.exe work?

2.) When encoding any file that has multiple subs/audio tracks, the encode will fail. I don't know if this is a problem because of the Wine emulation or a problem altogether.

3.) and finally on my small screen, the bottom buttons are cut off, everything below the crf values are not shown, might you be able to add a scroll bar that appears for smaller resolution screens?

[ozok]

@BK-20
1. I don't know much about 10-bit encoding so I can't be more help.
2. Please send info about your file. Also send logs. I don't have any problem converting files with more than one audio/subtitle tracks. You can send samples, too.
3. I'll look into that. What is you resolution?

[BK-201]

@Ozok
1.) That's okay 10-bit encoding wasn't of much importance.

2.) My file is ~24min long, has 2 audio and 2 subs, MKV container
My settings: Video - crf23, profile high, level 3, preset slower, tune animation, container MKV, other settings are default. Audio - NeroAAC HE2 CBR 32
Here is a sample of my video (sorry it's kinda large 40mb) : http://www.mediafire.com/?cyx8hr7cobkf8rv

This shows where the error began: http://sadpanda.us/images/1049951-RVJZPTT.jpg

3.) My screen resolution is 1024x600

[ozok]

@BK-201 one of the audio tracks of your source has 6 channels. I assume you try to encode that one. Hev2 only accepts stereo input AFAIK. Either you must use "HE" or you must mixdown 6 channels to stereo under "Effects".

[ozok]

Update:

--0.7.8
-Added: Option to force TX264 to use 32-bit backends
-Added: Option to auto save log
-Improved: TX264 checks if system is 64-bit instead of CPU
-Fixed: Corrected "Time Left" to "Time Passed"

[rexdeymond]

@ozok
1. Previously I was very satisfied with fearture "-Fixed: TX264 shows error even though the output files exist" is helpful and make easy to use [for newbie encoder like me], but I'm still hoping on the "Option to specify the file size [fixed file size or automatically calculate birate with video [i mean just file size option not with birate]]", and if you please, could you please additional video input WMV and more
2. Can I request a feature custom width and length of the form window that can be shifted to be enlarged or reduced, because the size of the form window that is very large and cover half the screen for a 10 inch screen notebook belongs to me
3. I want to now encoder audio with nero aac min birate for LC, i always encoder video with nero aac birate 64kbps always come HE/LC not come LC
4. TX264 may I upload it to the local forum in the state I, as a GUI encoder recommendation but I keep mentioning ozok as a creator. Faster internet speed in the country only for the local link, link international english language is too slow and not too care about the community in the state I

[ozok]

@rexdeymond
1) I'll add support for wmv files.
2) That is asked really often so in the next release users will be able to reduce size of TX264 window.
3) Make sure profile is is set to "LC".
4) Yes of course. But remember to send me the link.

[Video Dude]

@Video Dude, video+audio will be 500MB. But as i stated in the change log, it gives a rough estimation. It won't work if you select to copy or disable audio, for now.

Thank you ozok for a great program.

File size estimation with copy audio is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for consideration to possibly add it in a future release.

You may use link upload me as an alternative link download

[ozok]

Update

--0.7.9
-Added: TX264's window size can be reduced now
-Added: Support for wmv files
-Added: File size now works with audio copy and no audio
-Fixed: File size audio bitrate was not used problem
-Fixed: Drag&Drop cold not add some file types
-Fixed: Audio copy did not work with mp3 (thx to zoom)
-Fixed: Audio copy audio track index problem (thx to zoom)
-Fixed: "Level" value could not be saved
-Updated: AlphaControls to 7.66

[soneca]

ozok,

Great gui, keep improving! :cool:

[zooom]

ozok

Thanks. Now your TX264 works fine. I have some questions.
1. How can I get info about language of soundtrack?
2. How can I keep both (or more) soundtracks with video?
3. How can I convert full DVD disk or main video (now I use DVD Shrink for creating single vob file)?
4. Can I change frame-rate?

[ozok]

@zooom
1) You should see language info in audio tracks list. It's the value at the end. If it is not present, value shown will be "unknown"
2) It is not possible at the moment. But I'm planning to add that before version 1.0
3) AFAIK there is no way of doing that with x264. I'm assuming what you ask is what Handbrake does.
4) No. There is no way of doing that with x264 AFAIK. There is a "--fps" switch but it doesn't produce results you want. So, you must use Avisynth to do that. You must also be careful to maintain audio-video sync.

[zooom]

Thanks.
4. I tried to use Handbrake and there was problems with synchronization. So this point is not important.

If I convert multichannel audio to MP3 program should automatically set downmixing to stereo.

How about tree structure instead file list?

[ozok]

As i said, i am planning to add multiple audio/subtitle track selection but i don't know if it will in tree form or will have its own window.

[TC-man]

Hi,

Firstly, I want to thank ozok for this new x264 GUI.

And secondly, I want to report some bugs, and hope to contribute a little with my small report.

Tested versions: 0.7.8.1816 and 0.7.9.1928 in Windows 7 x64.

bug report:

1. encoder goes into interlaced mode and prevents the weightp setting from enabling, message "x264 [warning]: interlace + weightp is not implemented' will appear in the console output during video-encoding; temporarily solved by adding the command "--no-interlaced" in the custom options tab for x264;
2. fast first-pass seems not to work for 2-pass encoding when it's checked in the advanced options, but once it's unchecked "turbo" mode for the first pass works again;
3. aq-mode=2 (auto) doesn't seem to work when it's configured in the advanced options; temporarily solved by adding the command "--aq-mode 2" in the custom options tab for x264;
4. trellis couldn't be enabled even when it's checked in the advanced options; also temporarily solved by adding "--trellis 1" or "--trellis 2" in the custom options for x264.
5. And encoding videos with QAAC will mostly fail, and "Cannot find output file" message will appear in the log at the end of the encode; no problem with nero aac encoder.

[ozok]

Hi TC-man,

Thx for bug report.

1) See http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1387297
2) Fixed. It seems i forgot to change text.
3) Fixed. Disabling that option should work now properly too.
4) Fixed.
5) Please send log.txt that can be found in application folder.

I rarely use these options, so if you find other bugs please feel free to report them as well.

[TC-man]

Hi ozok,

it's a nice and comfy tool which simplifies things a lot. I spotted a little issue regarding the aspect ratio option...
First of all: Which aspect ration does this option affect - the display or pixel aspect ratio? I assume it is pixel since the 16:9 setting doesn't result in a 16:9 display.
Now I stumbled across a minor problem when I tried to convert a video which was natively 16:9 and I had to scale it down to 400x224 pixels which is also approx. 16:9 so the PAR had to be 1:1. But the resulting clip was slightly streched and didn't fit to the screen it was made up for. It turned out the actual PAR now was 1000:997. I couldn't find a way to correct this via the AR option so I deactivated it and used a custom command line option for mp4box: "-par 1=1:1" which finally worked.
Hope I didn't misunderstand something and this is a useful report.

[fantasmanegro]

does anybody knows if there is a preview option? i mean for cropping and resizing...

[ozok]

@pintcat
I get confused when it comes to SAR, DAR and PAR :D
I seem to be quoting a lot from LoRd_MuldeR today but look at 2nd post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163402).

@fantasmanegro
No there is no way of previewing cropping or resizing. But i am planning to add an option to do a very short (first 10 sec i.e.) to see effects of filters.

[fantasmanegro]

@0z0k

i guess PAR is the pixels width and height for video and DAR is the pixels deformation on screen...

thanks for the preview option... it will help a lot!...

[ozok]

I just realized that sar value should be specified with resize value. This way desired DAR value can be obtained. Thanks pintcat for bug, it will be fixed with next release.

Thanx ozok, that clarified a little, but also confused a little more on the other hand. :D
I never used that term 'SAR' and never cared what it means... till now. First of all i went to school again to learn something more about these things and I found this very helpful article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_Aspect_Ratio#Storage_Aspect_Ratio). If I got that right, the SAR (Storage Aspect Ratio) is nothing more than the ratio resulting from the number of pixels. Apparently people here often confuse this with the PAR as in the linked post:
First of all, 720x576 with "square pixles" (i.e. SAR=1:1) does not give 4:3, but 5:4. You get proper 4:3 with a SAR of 16:15.

Very confusing, indeed. ;) Now back to the issue... the question should be: What part of the whole process is affected by the aspect ratio option?

[ozok]

In the next release, which i will release in a few minutes, i replaced SAR value with DAR value, so user specifies desired DAR. SAR is calculated according to that DAR value and dimensions of video. According to my experiments that gives desired DAR value at the end. I do not know about technical explanation but that works for me. I used formula below:

SAR = DAR / (Width/Height)

[ozok]

Update

--0.8.0
-Added: Option to combine advanced option with presets
-Added: DAR value instead of SAR
-Added: Log now shows why file was not added
-Fixed: If video duration extraction fails, general file duration will be used during adding process
-Fixed: Changed "Fast First Pass" to "No fast first pass" (thx to TC-man)
-Fixed: "Adaptive Quantization Mode" option problem (thx to TC-man)
-Fixed: "Trellis" option disabling problem (thx to TC-man)
-Fixed: SAR value was passed wrong (thx to pintcat)
-Updated: QAAC to 1.38

Brilliant solution! I was forced to use a resolution which wasn't exactly 16:9. Now I can use the 16:9 preset and get a slightly anamorphic, but accurate 16:9 frame or I just copy the X and Y pixel values to the SAR fields and get perfect square pixels nevertheless. Both ways work for me too - good job and thanx for the good support! :)

[pintcat]

Found another small one: Setting the profile to High seems to have no effect. According to the console output, x264 uses the Main profile.

I can get high profile. Send me the log please.

[pintcat]

aaah... never mind. :rolleyes: It uses Main profile only for the 1st pass. Although it is set to High for both passes, but I think that doesn't matter.
Now I have a small feature request: Is it possible to enable the user to specify an alternative temp folder? I know this can be achieved with OS settings, but it is much more convenient doing this from inside an application. :)

TX264 can't convert file (see link). It stops with error.
http://narod.ru/disk/55770809001.23b54bd6c9dcec3d6e2d183615271ebd/02.avi.html

p.s. Sorry for big size.

[ozok]

@pintcat yes first pass is fast first pass, that may be it.

@zooom i'll take a look at it. Send me log please.

[zooom]

@zooom i'll take a look at it. Send me log please.

See e-mail.

[ozok]

@zooom looks like mp2 detection was faulty.

[zooom]

I used "copy audio" mode.

[zooom]

ozok

New TX264 works fine with 02.avi (both modes - "copy audio" and "encode audio"). Thanks for quick response.

[ozok]

I am trying to upload new version to SourceForge but there seems to be a problem. Meanwhile you can download latest version from here (http://tx264.codeplex.com/).

I'll update topic and add what's new when i finish uploading to SourceForge.

[ozok]

Update

--0.8.1
-Fixed: Detection of Mp2 streams failed for audio copy option (thx to zooom)
-Fixed: A few minor UI problems
-Updated: FFMpeg to N-42347-g299387e
-Updated: mkvmerge t0 5.7.0
-Updated: mkvextract to 5.7.0

[fantasmanegro]

does any body knows the way this works....

general tab:
how does checkbox size works???

simple options frame:
combine with profiles... does the "edit" options override the profile, preset, and tune?....

-same as source option does not disable the output path textbox and open button
-it will be easier for the user to increase or decrease the bitrate by 8 or 16
-same as source option checked throws output folder does not exist error message..

i really like the minimal gui and its first try... i will comment later...

[ozok]

general tab:
how does checkbox size works???

It will calculate necessary bitrate to get that size in mb using audio size etc. Ofc that is not that precise at the moment.


simple options frame:

AFAIK it is the other way around. Presets will override advanced options.

-same as source option does not disable the output path textbox and open button

Now you mentioned it, i should add that one.

-it will be easier for the user to increase or decrease the bitrate by 8 or 16

Why?

-same as source option checked throws output folder does not exist error message..

Are you sure directory in the "Output Folder" textbox exists? Because TX264 checks if "Output Folder" directory exists, not the source's directory which should already exists as we are encoding a file from that directory.

[TC-man]

@ozok

Hi,

thanks for the updates and fixes.

I have checked the newer TX264 0.8.1.2063, and here are my findings:

- it seems that TX264 wouldn't copy the embedded fonts from videos in MKV container into the encoded/outputted video;
- it seems that TX264 has a problem with videos with variable frame-rates and/or audio (in this case AAC-LC) with variable bit-rates. Result is that no video will be outputted because of an error;
-forcing constant fps by checking the setting under the general tab results in an encoded video that's out of sync with the audio; this out-of-sync issue also happens when trying to force a certain frame-rate via the custom options in TX264 for x264.exe (e.g. --fps 25.00);
- using ultra fast preset (without making use of or combining it with "advanced options") will result in outputted/encoded videos with baseline profile, though don't know if it's a bug or if it's intentional.

Thanks in advance!

[ozok]

I'll look into that.

Stream #0:2: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16


I marked problematic part with bold. TX264 tries to output video stream as wav. "-map 0:1" should be "-map 0:2" because index of audio stream is 2 not 1. Can you send me that file?

-forcing constant fps by checking the setting under the general tab results in an encoded video that's out of sync with the audio; this out-of-sync issue also happens when trying to force a certain frame-rate via the custom options in TX264 for x264.exe (e.g. --fps 25.00)

It is better to leave that option unchecked. If you enable it, TX264 gets source's FPS using MediaInfo and passed it with "--fps". I don't know if there is a way of passing vfr.

- using ultra fast preset (without making use of or combining it with "advanced options") will result in outputted/encoded videos with baseline profile, though don't know if it's a bug or if it's intentional.

That may depend on many things. Try specifying "Profile" yourself.

you are right, it does not exist, but if you check same as source option it does not needs the output directory exist because the programe takes the source one...

another one i noticed yesterday... first resize the movie and then it crops... i guess it will crop first and then resize...

and finally about the size box, i check it and set size to 120 but bitrate spiner was at 512 kbps, but the log shows that bit rate used was 512 and not hit que desired size...

[ozok]

@fantasmanegro you are right on both accounts, it should not check output folder if same as source is selected and cropping should be done before resizing.

size options may not produce desired file size, i said that earlier. Try specifying "Tolerance" value. Doing two pass may help, too.

[WasF]

Any plans for supporting x264 10-bit ?

[fantasmanegro]

yup i know that but my point is that it uses the bitrate set before and the app is not calculating the new bitrate using estaimated file size...

and about the increments of 8 or 16 is because the byte (8 bits)... i guess the word is multple of 8 (8 , 16, 32) and for crop is better using multiple of 8 or 16... even for resize...

that is just my point of view... whatever you decide will be ok...

[ozok]

@WasF not at the moment but i'll surely add it.

@fantasmanegro it uses bitrate calculated. If you are talking about bitrate value you see in "Summary" tab, it shows bitrate you specified so it is wrong for now. Maybe you should send me log.

[BK-201]

@Ozok
Thanks for adding the ability to resize the program, it helps a lot :D

Also. any chance that we could see a queue option so we could add different settings to different files instead of having to wait for each single encode to finish before changing settings and starting another encode.....for example queue file one using crf encoding and queue file 2 using 2pass encoding

[ozok]

@BK-201 TX264 is a batch encoding tool and will not have queue feature unless someone creates a fork.

[ozok]

Update:

--0.8.2
-Added: Preview for filters
-Added: Summary now shows file size if it is specified
-Fixed: "Invalid SAR value" problem due to "."
-Fixed: "Same as source" no longer checks output directory
-Fixed: Cropping should be done before resizing
-Fixed: A few UI problems
-Updated: AlphaControls to 7.67

[BK-201]

Hey Ozok,

0.8.4 looks great :D
Also, any chance we could see an encode audio only feature? That would be really great.
Keep up the great work :D

[ozok]

@BK-201 Do you mean copy video encode audio?

[BK-201]

@BK-201 Do you mean copy video encode audio?

Not exactly I mean disabling the video(or no video at all), and encode just the audio.
For example the options under audio tab (Encode Audio, Copy Audio, No Audio) maybe you could add and option to encode audio only or have under video tab something like (Encode Video, Copy Video, No Video)

[ozok]

@BK-201 it is out of scope of this GUI.

Meanwhile you can try TEncoder. Select "None" as video encoder and it will work as you asked.

[BK-201]

Meanwhile you can try TEncoder. Select "None" as video encoder and it will work as you asked.

Ah, yeah I've tried TEncoder but it doesn't have NeroAAC He2 nor the ability to change the audio to stereo which is what I prefer :P

[BK-201]

@Ozok,
Something I've noticed about v0.8.4 is that once the encode is finished, the prompt saying "So you'd know encoding is finished" doesn't appear anymore. I don't know if this is a bug or if your removed intentionally.

[ozok]

@BK-201 i removed it intentionally.

[BK-201]

@BK-201 i removed it intentionally.
Really? NNNOOO!!!!! Why remove a something good? :P

[ozok]

@BK-201 it caused some problems. No worries, ill add some replacement in the next release.

[BK-201]

@BK-201 it caused some problems. No worries, ill add some replacement in the next release.

Ah, I see, well good to know there will be a replacement for it. Also, your hard work on these programs is greatly appreciated, keep up your great work :D

[BK-201]

@Ozok,
Quick question about 10bit encoding. I've noticed that an earlier releases of Tx264 (v0.1.388-v0.6.820) had support for 10bit(High10 Profile) all they needed was the 10bit x264.exe and it worked perfectly. Any reason the new releases don't also support 10bit?

[ozok]

@BK-201 it was removed because i wanted to fully implement it. But i didn't have much chance to try it.

[zooom]

@ozok
Small bug.
TX264 deletes all files in temporary directory but it should delete its own temporary files only.

[privatehun]

fail encode (can not create output file) if source file name is Unicode (ex. Korean... language)

[ozok]

fail encode (can not create output file) if source file name is Unicode (ex. Korean... language)

As usual send log.txt please.

[Pharaoh i7]

This is great amp can we get auto corp & auto resize for example handbrake,megui & ripbot has it were you can just type in the width then x264 decide the best height or the other way around

[canTsTop]

hello, i have few problems/suggestions:


in video filters if i select only Set DAR, and no resize x264 command line is wrong: "--video-filter resize:sar=1:1", it should be "--sar 1:1"


my phone (Nokia 5230) plays video only if SAR set to 1:1, but if i set SAR 1:1, x264 command is wrong: --video-filter resize:width=352,height=288,method=bicubic,sar=1:122


if i create TX264 profile (Pre-defined) and then modify something, it should not show that i still using my saved profile


can you please add Dynamic range compression (DRC) to audio effects and/or custom sox options


Thank You

[ozok]

@Pharaoh i7
I cant say much about auto crop but i'll look into auto resize.

@canTsTop
1. Resize:sar and sar are different options. Search for "sar" here (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings), you will see two options.
2. That SAR value is calculated to get correct DAR value. Even if says SAR in the GUI, it is actually DAR value. I shoulda fixed that ages ago.
3. Why?
4. DRC will up with next release.

[canTsTop]

@ozok
1. Then it should be not posible to select DAR in TX264 if no resize is selected, because its gives wrong results x264 --video-filter resize:sar=2:1 -out.mkv in.mkv
ffms [info]: 1280x720p 1:1 @ 3568/143 fps (vfr)
resize [info]: resizing to 640x720
x264 [info]: using SAR=2/1
2. Can You please add option to leave original Pixel aspect ratio (1:1)
3. Its confusing, lets say i create profile for my phone, then change some options. Next time when i open TX264 it still says i'm using my profile for phone, but options are changed.

[fantasmanegro]

hello!!!

i was using the gui today and i noticed that when you select to use default profiles and custom settings the custom settings does not updates according to profile and tuning selection....

is this a normal behavior or how does it works?...

[rexdeymond]

@ozok = I have a problem to tx264 last, I convert video using the file size and audio features with cbr 32, and convert the video there is a problem on the sound is slower than the video, is there a way to fix it, this log file (http://idws.us/bgjbcjh)

[ozok]

@canTsTop i will look into your suggestions in more detail.

hello!!!

It is normal. Advanced settings don't change according to selected profile etc.

@ozok = I have a problem to tx264 last, I convert video using the file size and audio features with cbr 32, and convert the video there is a problem on the sound is slower than the video, is there a way to fix it, this log file (http://idws.us/bgjbcjh)

I cannot open the link. I can't see why audio should be slower, tho. TX264 does not do anything that'd cause that.

[BK-201]

@Ozok....or anyone that can help,

Under custom options where you can enter custom x264 commands how would I add deblocking? would it be something similar to:

--vf deblock=1,1

thanks for any help that can be provided.

Edit:
just to clear any confusion I'm not talking about the advanced options but these options:

http://i46.tinypic.com/2dbv1cj.jpg

[fantasmanegro]

ComboBox Use "Presets and Custom options" and modify the deblock filter value... i guess

i have the same doubt about where to put custom values...

good luck

[Zerondar]

really nice encoding software
would be even better if allowing more soft subs and audio tracks choices and ability to add watermarks hardsub'd though :-)

[Dextor]

Hi. TX264 is really the best tool I have seen... But I have some minor problems with it:
1) Sometimes it deletes my saved settings. Either they're completely gone, or sometimes they're just set to different (mostly default) values.
2) In advanced x264 options, the values (when reset to default or on program's first start) with decimal points have commas instead of periods (dots). When I try to change the value by clicking on the tiny arrows up and down next to the value, it goes from 0 (or other lowest value) instead of incrementing/decrementing the current value. The program remembers the correct value with a decimal dot if I enter the value correctly (with the dot). Also I'm not sure that the program passes the correct values to x264 when they contain commas...
3) qcomp is always 1 in my encodes, even if I leave it at the default 60% (0.6). I have to manually add a custom "--qcomp 0.6" parameter to x264.exe. I found this by examining a file with MediaInfo (and also the file is about 25% smaller if I add the parameter). I use CRF in my encodes.

And one little feature request: Would it be possible to add an option to compress the dynamic range of audio? I hate that all movies have really loud effects and music and very quiet dialogs. When I watch a movie the explosions and stupid "dramatic" music kills my ears while I cannot hear nothing when people talk, so I would like to compress the dynamic range of the audio as much as possible...

I use Windows 8 x64 Pro EN RTM.

EDIT: I created a log for you to look at. I examined it and found out that the qcomp value is being passed to the encoder as "60" instead of "0.6"... For the encoding I use combination of presets+adv. settings, to make the file playable on my poor little Samsung Galaxy Gio.

LOG FILE (http://dextor.heliohost.org/docs/TX264.txt)

[ozok]

Hello Dextor,

1) Do you mean program settings (output folder path etc.) or profiles (pre-defined)? In both cases it is really strange. I'll need more information about that problem because i cannot think anything that may cause it.
2) I might be completely wrong but in Turkey we use "," as decimal mark. As my system is Turkish, default values are with comma. If your system uses "." as decimal mark, default values are invalid so it makes sense that it starts to change from smallest valid value.
3) Yes qcomp values were passed wrong (60 instead of 0.60). Thanks.

DRC is in my to-do list. It will be on next release but i cannot say when that will be released.

I also recommend you to use preset and profiles. With a bit of experimenting you can find best options for your device. I started TX264 to encode files my low-end android phone.

[Dextor]

Hi ozok,

1) I mean a saved "Pre-defined" state, the line just below output folder in the main window. My experience is such that it got deleted only when the program exited unexpectedly (I do not recall the reason, maybe I forced the PC to shutdown while TX264 was working) - the *.pdo file in the "PreDefs" folder was just gone. This doesn't happen if I exit the program the normal way.
2) I understand. But people from English-speaking countries (and surely other countries) where "." is used as decimal mark might have problems with TX264. I don't know if delphi has an option to input the "defaul system decimal mark" into a text field... But x264 uses a "." in its parameters so perhaps it would be acceptable to just use "." everywhere regardless of the user's regional preferences? I'm sure people would understand what "0.1" means even if their country (such as your country, Turkey, or my country, Czech rep.) uses "," as a decimal mark...
3) No problem - I will just use the manually added parameter until the next version...

Well my device is compatible with "Baseline" profile and 4.1 Level, but I like to experiment and enable as many additional features as my Gio can handle, because I convert all the videos I acquire from any source to H264/AAC mp4 files and I like the videos to have as much quality and small filesize as possible, while maintaining compatibility with my Galaxy Gio (which isn't a very good thing, as the Gio doesn't support any advanced x264 option... :( )

[Atak_Snajpera]

ofcourse you can force any decimal symbol in delphi

decimalseparator := '.';

[ozok]

TX264 converts "," to "." when it passes it to encoders. But if I missed a point where it is not converted let me know.

@Atak_Snajpera thanks, i did not know that.

[ozok]

I've decided to release a new version. With it, many backends are updated and skins are removed because they caused very annoying flickers.

Change log:

--0.8.5
-Added: Support for FHGAACENC
-Added: DRC
-Removed: Skin which caused performance issues
-Fixed: qcomp values were passed wrong (thx to Dextor)
-Fixed: Unable to use Ogg Vorbis bitrate mode
-Updated: x264 to rev 2216
-Updated: MediaInfo to 0.7.60
-Updated: QAAC to 1.43
-Updated: FFmpeg to 2012-10-10 build from ffmpeg.zeranoe.com
-Updated: mkvmerge t0 5.8.0
-Updated: mkvextract to 5.8.0

[Dextor]

The new look is really good under Windows 8. I liked the skin, but without it it's even better (at least on Win8)... FGH-AAC is a great addition, I think I'll use it now (I would use Quicktime AAC, but who wants to install Quicktime, right?) I did not check the qcomp, as I use presets now, but I believe you fixed it.

I'm having one problem now, which I did not have with the 0.8.4 version - if I use the "force constant FPS" option, the video is encoded with wrong FPS: I have a video with 23.976 FPS and it gets converted to 25 FPS. I noticed this because the audio was out of sync... In the log it is clear. 25 instead of 23.976. In 0.8.4 this error did not occur...

LOG HERE (http://dextor.heliohost.org/docs/TX264-2.txt)

I try to fix this by adding custom parameter "--fps 23.976" temporarily...

[Dextor]

Unchecking the "force constant fps" option and adding custom parameters to x264.exe ("--force-cfr --fps 23.976") worked correctly without confusing x264 with two "--fps" parameters. I hope you fix this soon though, as I will be using this excellent tool a lot now... I need constant fps, otherwise my poor Gio refuses to play the files...

[ozok]

It looks like TX264 cannot extract FPS information from source, 25 is the default value it returns in case of error. Can you send me a sample? You can extract a clip from video using Avidemux i think.

[pandy]

initial buffer occupancy suggested as % but value can be set from 0 to 1

[ozok]

initial buffer occupancy suggested as % but value can be set from 0 to 1

i will fix it asap. thank you.

[ozok]

Update:
--0.8.6
-Fixed: Range of initial buffer occupancy is now from 0 to 100 (thx to pandy)
-Fixed: Problems with some files with vfr (thx to Dextor)
-Fixed: A few UI errors
-Updated: MediaInfo to 0.7.61
-Updated: FFmpeg to 2012-10-20 from ffmpeg.zeranoe.com

[Flipe]

My old computer (with Linux only) should die in order to run across this great tool. Thanks, ozok, for it!

My knowledge of encoding and programming is very superficial, contrary to what appears to be the rule here in this forum, but I will still try my best to contribute to the development of this tool, in view of the problems I had using it the last days (and to be fair caused actually by the behaviour of ffmpeg and x.264 rather than from this tool), even if it is only by making proposals. My apologies in advance if the following proposals are plain stupid or if they were already discussed in this forum and I failed to find them:

1) Ffmpeg cannot decode some AAC streams correctly (such as. but not only, the ones in a MOV file) and exits with an error. This is documented here (http://lzone.de/aac+decoding+with+ffmpeg+doesn%27t+work) and is caused by the value of the channel element being 1.0. The solution given in the mentioned page is described in this link (http://lzone.de/node/25) and consists on extracting the audio and converting with faad before processing it further. It would be great if this solution or an alternative one would be implemented in Tx264.

2) x.264 cannot deal with certain resolutions, such as the following " ffms [info]: 450x338p 0:1 @ 15/1 fps (vfr)" causing the following error " x264 [error]: height not divisible by 4". It would be nice if the program would automatically adjust the resolution to a valid one closest to the one of the input (if you prefer with a warning so that the user knows it).

3) I am not sure of this, but I think I read somewhere that for HE-AAC encoding the 3GPP-based libaacplus ( http://tipok.org.ua/node/17 ) provides much better quality than NeroAAC. If this is the case, it would be also great if this option would be available in a similar manner than NeroAAC (that is, the user should provide a compiled ffmpeg with AACplus functionality, as a compiled version of ffmpeg with libaacplus is also not distributable).

Thanks again for this great application that simplifies encoding to h.264 for basic users like me.

[Dextor]

3) I am not sure of this, but I think I read somewhere that for HE-AAC encoding the 3GPP-based libaacplus ( http://tipok.org.ua/node/17 ) provides much better quality than NeroAAC.

You know you can use FhG AAC with TX264 since version 0.8.5, right? According to some listening tests I saw (but which did not include libaacplus, and I think they used LC-AAC @96kbps), FhG AAC, which TX264 uses, had virtually the same sound quality as QuickTime AAC, which was the winner of that test. I'm only speculating now, as I have never used libaacplus, but I think no AAC codec is much better than the FhG's one... And according to those tests FhG AAC is also a bit better than Nero AAC. I personally can confirm this, as to me, 32kbps (VBR, quality setting 1) FhG AAC (HE AAC) sounds much better than 48kbps (VBR, q 0.2) Nero AAC (also HE AAC). Just my opinion though.
The test is here: http://listening-tests.hydrogenaudio.org/igorc/aac-96-a/results.html (yeah it's LC AAC, not HE AAC)

Edit: factual correction etc.

[ozok]

...

It would be great if this solution or an alternative one would be implemented in Tx264.

I could not really reproduce that problem. Did it happen to you while using TX264? If so, can you send me a sample? (nothing larger than 50mb)


2) x.264 cannot deal with certain resolutions, such as the following " ffms [info]: 450x338p 0:1 @ 15/1 fps (vfr)" causing the following error " x264 [error]: height not divisible by 4". It would be nice if the program would automatically adjust the resolution to a valid one closest to the one of the input (if you prefer with a warning so that the user knows it).

In the next release, TX264 will check if entered width and height values are divisible by 4,8 and 16. I am also planing to check input file if resizing is disabled.


3) I am not sure of this, but I think I read somewhere that for HE-AAC encoding the 3GPP-based libaacplus ( http://tipok.org.ua/node/17 ) provides much better quality than NeroAAC. If this is the case, it would be also great if this option would be available in a similar manner than NeroAAC (that is, the user should provide a compiled ffmpeg with AACplus functionality, as a compiled version of ffmpeg with libaacplus is also not distributable).

As Dextor stated, aac encoders provided with TX264 should suffice most of the time. If you can find a ffmpeg windows build with libaacplus support, I'd be more than glad to add support for it. So far I could not find one.


Thanks again for this great application that simplifies encoding to h.264 for basic users like me.
You are welcome :)

[Flipe]

Thanks Dextor and Ozoc for your replies. Sorry for taking a while to reply, I was on holiday a couple of days.

You know you can use FhG AAC with TX264 since version 0.8.5, right? [...]

No, I did not know. As I said, I have a very superficial knowledge of encoding, let alone of all the possible encoders available. I will then use FhG AAC as you propose. Thanks for the tip!

I could not really reproduce that problem. Did it happen to you while using TX264? If so, can you send me a sample? (nothing larger than 50mb)

Yes, it happened while using TX264, but as I said, it has nothing to do with it but with ffmpeg itself. I encoded and deleted the file that gave me the problems. I have found another one which appears to have a similar problem but it is 800 Mb. I have tried to select a sample with Avidemux but I guess even if the audio and video streams are copied the extracting and reintroducing it in an mp4 container changes the value of the channel element because then the problem is then gone. Do you maybe know how could I take a sample without substantially changing the information of the container?

In the next release, TX264 will check if entered width and height values are divisible by 4,8 and 16. I am also planing to check input file if resizing is disabled.

Great! Thanks for constantly improving the application!

As Dextor stated, aac encoders provided with TX264 should suffice most of the time. If you can find a ffmpeg windows build with libaacplus support, I'd be more than glad to add support for it. So far I could not find one.

I guess it is as possible to have ffmpeg with libaacplus support in Windows as it is in Linux (although I am not 100% sure of it because I have no idea of how to do a cross compiling so that it works in Windows). There is no ffmpeg with libaacplus available because it cannot be distributed and must be compiled with this extra library by each user due to some legal limitations. I managed to compile one for linux. But anyway as Dextor and you said, probably there is already an encoder included in TX264 that I did not know of providing good quality at low bit rates, so probably it is unnecessary to complicate things, as it would require each user willing to use it to compile ffmpeg, which probably (I have not much knowledge of programming, either, so maybe I am wrong) requires Linux and cross compiling.

[ozok]

It seems i overlooked a small bug that caused TX264 to give error after encoding is done. I uploaded new 0.8.7 files and did not change version number as it is really small fix and not many people downloaded it.

Edit: Well, looks like it is still there. In case of that error you can close TX264. Encoded files will be there, they wont be effected.

[ozok]

Update:
--0.8.8
-Added: Reset button to audio effects window
-Added: Many UI changes
-Fixed: Deleting files from list cause visual artifacts
-Fixed: "List index out of bounds" error after encoding is done
-Updated: x264.exe to rev 2230

[ozok]

Hotfix:
--0.8.9
-Fixed: Audio ID problems with some vob files
-Fixed: Deleting selected items from list caused problems

[Hobbe]

Thanks for a great program!
Feature req: Copy video and a auto crop function. Allow subtitles from srt.
Maybe a bug report.. when I encode dts sound to aac the resulting sound have a much lower volume.. Why? Tried qaac and Fhg same result..

[ozok]

@Hobbe external srt files should be muxed to mkv/mp4. If yours dont get muxed, please send me log.txt. You can increase volume by "Effects" under "Audio" tab.

[XStylus]

I'm getting exception errors when I try to compress a Quicktime ProRes MOV. Haven't tested with any other file type yet but figured I'd chime in.

Exception message: "'23,976' is not a valid floating point value."

Bugreport attached, also at http://bit.ly/QKT2xa

A short sample of the ProRes file I'm using can also be found here: http://bit.ly/SZucGb

[Hobbe]

ozok: mux subtitle almost works.. it creats two subtitles tracks with the same subtitle. One displays very small on the screen. The other one is correct.. Any clue?

[SeeMoreDigital]

A short sample of the ProRes file I'm using can also be found here: http://bit.ly/SZucGb
According to MediaInfo, the .MOV file contains an AVC video stream, not ProRes!

[ozok]

@Hobbe i cant see why that happens. Again send log.txt.

@XStylus as SeeMoreDigital said file is not ProRes. I could encode sample without a problem with 0.8.9. If you cannot, try that exe (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9617171/TX264.7z). Just replace it with your TX264.exe.

PS: that exe will create a fps.txt in your C:\ if you have one, so please create a backup before replacing. That fps.txt is a list of FPS of all the files in your list.

Still no 10bit support? :(

Otherwise still one of the best encoders I've ever used.

[ozok]

Is there a way to Autocrop a source and resize to 720p ?

[Pharaoh i7]

awesome job for adding 10 bit option.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Given that some 10-bit encoding profiles have been added. I would like to request the following profiles: Lossless 4:2:0, Lossless 4:2:2 and Lossless 4:4:4


Cheers

Ozok I must thank you for your continued hard work in making such a great encoder.

The addition of 10bit support now makes this not just one of the best, but THE BEST encoder I've ever used. :)

Question: Is there an option to adjust audio/video delay?

[acclez]

hi ozok..i wanna ask how do i get rid of frame rate mode, what option do i chose?my player can't play mkv in frame rate mode,sry im newbie in this,thanks

and thanks for this great encoder :D

Frame rate mode : Variable / Constant
Frame rate : 23.976 fps

[XStylus]

Some feature requests:

First, any chance that there can be a Blu-Ray compatibility checkbox? To my understanding, such a checkbox would basically add --bluray-compat to the x264 command line, though the program might also need to lock the profile at 4.1, and also --nal-hrd and vbv parameters would need to be specified. There may be other settings as well to ensure blu-ray compatibility but those are what I know of at the moment.

Secondly, how does the "Combine with Profiles" feature work in the Tune settings? I understand that the "Tune" function built into x264 optimizes the advanced settings based depending on the particular tune profile chosen. One nice thing that Zarx264 does is that when you select a Tune profile, it adjusts the options on the advanced settings tab, thus letting you see some of the tuned options and letting you adjust further if desired. With TX264, everything in the Advanced Settings (accessed via the "Edit" button) does not adjust accordingly with the Tune profile. That puzzles me a bit because if, for example, I select a Tune profile and then choose "Combine with Profiles" yet I don't touch a thing in Advanced Settings, doesn't the untuned Advanced settings completely override and defeat the point of the Tune?

[ozok]

Question: Is there an option to adjust audio/video delay?

There is probably an option to specify that in container options, so I'm going to look at them and see what i can do.

You can select "Force constant fps" option. But at the moment it causes problems with MP4 container (wrong value passed). And sometimes TX264 cannot extract nominal FPS using MediaInfo (if source is vfr), so this may not work but you must try and see for yourself.

If anyone can confirm these options work for Blu-ray compatibility, I'd be more than happy to add that feature. But it looks like what you say is right, --bluray-compat and a few other options are needed.

There is no connection between advanced options and selected profile/tune/preset. AFAIK, profiles/tunes/preset will override advanced options if a conflict occurs. So, again AFAIK, if you set an advanced setting parameter and it violates some part of preset/tune/profile, it will be set according to that preset/tune/profile. I am not planning to add a feature to make TX264 change advanced options according to selected preset/profile/tune. I don't use advanced options, so I can't say much about them. If I am wrong feel free to correct me.

well i try mkv container with "Force constant fps" it doesn't work T_T,video become defrag,its there other way to remove variable frame rate??....thanks ozok for the reply :D

sorry for my bad english >.<

Very strange... The option works fine for me!

[ozok]

Very strange... The option works fine for me!

TX264 tries to extract FPS info from source but, as i said earlier, sometimes it fails (or maybe MediaInfo fails?). That might be it.

@acclez send me log.txt please.

[XStylus]

There is no connection between advanced options and selected profile/tune/preset. AFAIK, profiles/tunes/preset will override advanced options if a conflict occurs.

According to the x264 wiki, it's the other way around: "If you specify a tuning, the changes will be applied after --preset but before all other parameters." So if, for example, the "Film" tune normally sets Trellis for 0.15, yet if I manually specify 0.20 for Trellis, x264 will implement the "Film" preset but will use 0.20 for Trellis instead of 0.15.

So if someone wants to use TX264 to use a tune profile along with advanced options, TX264 needs to do one of two things: 1) The advanced options need to already be set to whatever the Tune profile reflects (kind of like Zarx264 does), or 2),TX264 needs to send to x264 only the advanced options that the user actually makes a change to in the Advanced Option window. The latter is probably easier, but less informative.

[XStylus]

PS: that exe will create a fps.txt in your C:\ if you have one, so please create a backup before replacing. That fps.txt is a list of FPS of all the files in your list.

I realize I'm backtracking a bit, but wouldn't it be better to have the program create fps.txt in the directory that TX264.exe resides in, or a temp directory like %TEMP% or %LOCALAPPDATA%? Much more tidy that way. That also avoids the infinitely rare likelihood of zapping someone's oh-my-gosh-I-can't-live-without-it fps.txt file that they lazily stored in the root of their hard drive. :P

Any particular reason why Qaac 1.43 is provided with the full TX264 package? The latest version is 2.01. Are there any issues with using the newer one?

[ozok]

Any particular reason why Qaac 1.43 is provided with the full TX264 package? The latest version is 2.01. Are there any issues with using the newer one?

It's because I didn't realize there was an update:p. You can manually replace it, I think.

[XStylus]

It's because I didn't realize there was an update:p. You can manually replace it, I think.

Reason why I asked was because Qaac 1.43 crashed during an audio encode, which forced me to have TX264 abort the entire encode. This after x264 had spent +12hrs doing the video encode. Dunno if Qaac 2.01 is any better yet since the video encode is still in progress.

Would it be possible to have TX264 do the audio encoding first, rather than the video encode first? In my view it'd be better to handle "quick" tasks first, and that way if one of the quicker tasks crash, you hadn't wasted a multitude of hours by that point. Perhaps even make that an option that can be selected in the "Custom Options" tab.

What sort of message it gave? "Crashed" is a bit ambiguous.

[XStylus]

What sort of message it gave? "Crashed" is a bit ambiguous.

There was a pop-up error message from Qaac, which is why I believe it wasn't TX264's fault. I didn't write down the message and it didn't show in the log (which I've long lost now). Qaac had gotten a little over 50% through the encode when it happened.

My encode with Qaac 2.01 just finished and it got completely through the audio encode without problem.

However, I have a new problem. Please see below...

Here's some info that might help:

C: is an SSD drive, and a small one at that. It has very little space. So all of my work is being done on R:, which is a 12TB array. The film I'm outputting is 2hrs long and I'm using a high bitrate, so the file will probably be in excess of 40gigs, which is way more than is available on C:.

Reading the log above, it looks to me that TX264 is trying to use my C: as a temp directory for muxing the audio and video into an mp4, and there's not enough space for that.

[ozok]

@XStylus you can change temp folder under "Other Options" tab. Also fps value passed to mp4box is false, it will be fixed with the next release.

Hi, I cant see AC3 Encode Can you show me ?

Select "Aften" as audio encoder.

[ultramarine7]

first... thank for the great program! :)

can you show me how to de-interlace ? I have a bunch of old CD to convert to mkv...

[Mierastor]

Yes, great program!

However, changing the sampling rate for the audio does not work. I have tried changing the sampling rate to 22050 for several different files and it produces garbled noise. Audio encoder was NeroAAC.

[ozok]

Would it be possible to add Opus and Ogg as container? Opus in Matroska never seems to materialize.

[abdelazizech]

Hi Ozok, I'm a developper (Engeneering Student) and Advanced x264 Encoder, I thank you for TX264 ,
and I personally think it have the potential to be a Reference in X264 Encoding,
you just need to correct some bugs and add some ideas!

here are some i know:
- Ability to minimise to taskbar
- Add a "Resume" tab where it shows a brief of your transcoding parameters and the expected file size
(i know there is one while transcoding, we better see the options before transcoding)
- Convertion interface not to hide Configuration interface, in case we wants to change parameters and add files
- Ability to delete files from Queue list while transcoding
- Think of adding AVI and FLV (web) Containers
- Think of lowering CPU Usage to 95% since i can't use other applications while it's converting
- You can add predefined presets: iPod, iPhone and iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV, Android..
- bug: presets doens't save deblock setting, i have to reset it manually whenever i use TX264
- bug: if there is not enough space in C drive, it transcode but doesn't generate any file, i've put a log in the attachement, think of a solution!

Good Luck ozok!

[ozok]

@Mierastor
I'll wait a bit to see if matroska starts supporting Opus. I do not want to add a container just for one audio codec.

- Ability to minimise to taskbar

I assume you mean minimize to tray. I added that to my to-do list.

- Add a "Resume" tab where it shows a brief of your transcoding parameters and the expected file size

Summar tab already does most of it. Also guessing file size is not easy.

- Convertion interface not to hide Configuration interface, in case we wants to change parameters and add files

Commands are created when you hit "Start" button.

- Ability to delete files from Queue list while transcoding

Added to my to-do list.

- Think of adding AVI and FLV (web) Containers

Not avi but maybe FLV support might be added (tho i doubt it).

- Think of lowering CPU Usage to 95% since i can't use other applications while it's converting

TX264 does not have any control over x264's CPU usage. It depends on your system and x264 parameters you used.

- You can add predefined presets: iPod, iPhone and iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV, Android..

I can copy from HandBrake I guess.

- bug: presets doens't save deblock setting, i have to reset it manually whenever i use TX264

I'll look into asap.

- bug: if there is not enough space in C drive, it transcode but doesn't generate any file, i've put a log in the attachement, think of a solution!

Neither of the logs shows any info about lack of space. You also cut off the command lines in logs, please send them as well. If you do not want personal info revealed you can pm or send mail.

[abdelazizech]

- Add a "Resume" tab where it shows a brief of your transcoding parameters and the expected file size

Summar tab already does most of it. Also guessing file size is not easy.

I mean Before you hit Start, call it "Summary" to be just after "Other Options" Tab, and here is file size algorithm:
( ((hr*3600)+(mn*60)+ss) * (Video_bitrate + Audio_Bitrate) ) / 8 = ESTIMATED_FILE_SIZE (in Kb)
if ESTIMATED_FILE_SIZE >= 1024kb : ESTIMATED_FILE_SIZE / 1024 => ESTIMATED_FILE_SIZE (in mb)


- Conversion interface not to hide Configuration interface, in case we wants to change parameters and add files

Commands are created when you hit "Start" button.

First it's "Start" button, when you hit it:
-- Main interface will remain, but instead of "Start" button, it will be "Add" (as all aplications do!)
-- a new Queue interface would popup showing progress! (the actual one)


- Think of adding AVI and FLV (web) Containers

Not avi but maybe FLV support might be added (tho i doubt it).

I personally prefer mp4, but lot of "rippers" like avi, so it would be nice to add it!

[ozok]

Actually there is an add button to add files during encode. It has a, aaee, plus on it, left-bottom of progress window.

AVI is old and has limitations.

[abdelazizech]

Yep avi is old! i just see lot of people still use it, so i taught it would be nice to add it!

[Dextor41]

Hi ozok. The latest version is cool, but could you add an option to disable the CPU usage meter? It annoys me and it even crashed the app once (sorry I forgot to save the log)...

[ozok]

Hi ozok. The latest version is cool, but could you add an option to disable the CPU usage meter? It annoys me and it even crashed the app once (sorry I forgot to save the log)...

Nice idea. I had a few bug reports related to CPU meter. I'll add it to next version for sure.

[Dextor]

One more thing - if I enable resizing and set the dimensions to 640x360 I get an error that the dimensions are not divisible by 4, 8 or 16. 640 is divisible by 16 (therefore by 4 and 8 too) and 360 is divisible by 8 (therefore by 4 too). Version 0.9.1 does not show this error.
BTW I think that x264 can encode anything with dimensions being a multiple of 2, not just 4, but I'm not sure about that.
Now one more thing, although this is just an idea: I think that you don't have to mention divisibility by 8 and 16, because if a number is divisible by 16 or 8, it is of course always dividable by 4...

PS (for abdelazizech): about that "avi" support: avi is very problematic when it comes to avc (h264). One must use some hacks to get an avc stream into avc and it still is just not right. Avi is too old and I'm not entirely sure about aac in avi neither. Avi definitely does not support avc nor aac "natively", and I believe that such combinations should be avoided. If you need an avi file, use DivX or Xvid and mp3 or ac-3 (you can use tools like AviDemux or VirtualDub for that)...

[ozok]

Update:
--0.9.3
-Added: Log now shows temp. files that will be deleted
-Added: "Container" option is moved to "Container" tab (thx to S1N)

Hi Ozok,

Will there be a pause button anytime in the future? lol

[ozok]

Yes probably, it is asked often lately.

[Flipe]

Hi, again thanks, Ozoc, for this application.

I have been using it for a while now and there are some problems I get working with it. Sometimes the final muxing with mp4box will not work and TX264 gives for instance the following error

Unknown input file type
Error importing C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\TX264\\Mar1988.mp4#video:fps=29.970: Requested URL is not valid or cannot be found

even if the audio and video have been transcoded and the corresponding files are present in the temp folder. This error is rather surprising to me because if I try to manually carry out the commands of video and audio encoding and muxing in the command line, it works! So I have no clue what the cause for this error could be.

First of all, it would be nice if this is solved (or if I am doing something wrong, if you could tell me what it is). I also think it would be nice if in case of error the temporary audio-only and video-only files would not be deteled. In particular, sometimes the video transcoding takes some time and having it deleted because of a muxing error is a little bit frustrating.

Also I get sometime green taints in the video after transcoding all around the image or sometimes in the borders. I have tried with several parameters and it has always happened.

So that you see what I mean, I have found that the following short file (18 Mb) has both problems if trying to encode it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO4wBK1kh5I

Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S. I am not an expert neither in encoding nor in programming, so please, if I am making stupid mistakes, don´t be too harsh on me ;)

[ozok]

@Flipe It also happened to me a couple of times but after re-encoding the problem was gone. So I could not get an idea why it happens. Can you encode it to mkv?

[Flipe]

Thanks for the reply, Ozoc!

I still get both errors with the file I have indicated when using the mkv container. With this file, however, the first error can be reproduced in the command line and is not related to the muxing but to the extraction of the audio. Somehow the selection of the audio stream is erroneous and if I change it manually in the command line from "0:2" to "0:1" in the ffmpeg command, the intermediate transcoding to wav works. Regarding the error producing green taints, I still get it as before, but I guess you did not expect this to change because changing containers does not alter the encoding.

[ozok]

Update:
--0.9.4
-Added: "Post-encode options" to "Other Options" tab
-Added: SoXr library will be used for resampling
-Improved: Audio track ID detection
-Improved: Audio codec detection for "Direct Stream Copy"
-Fixed: Sample rate was changed even if audio effects were disabled
-Updated: Alphacontrols to 8.18
-Updated: x264 to rev 2245
-Updated: QAAC to 2.15
-Updated: FFMpeg

[Marchand]

Ozok.

In this version TX264 (0.9.4.3057) my machine is using only 64% to 75% of the four processors becoming Hi10p. Other encoders, which are also great, they use 100% for this work in 10 bits. Thank you. :)

[ozok]

I don't think that is TX264's doing. Are you sure you used same x264 settings?

[Marchand]

Yes, only updated the version and settings are the same for encode (maximum possible). Program very well written and lightweight Comparable to other encoders that consume a lot of processing, ie they get to use 100% of the processors and almost gets to hang the machine. Getting between 64% to 81% is very good to use the machine to do other things. I do not know what you did, but it is very light to handle videos on Hi10p. Can I call this version of TX264-Lite ... HEHEHE. Thanks a lot.

Thnx a lot for the new TX264, but why haven't the mkvtoolnix parts been updated to v6.0.0.0?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Out of interest...

Has there been any compatibility tests running TX264 with Windows 8 32-bit?

[BK-201]

@Ozok,
I don't know if it's a problem with TX264(0.9.4.3057), or with Wine and Ubuntu but I can't encode using 10bit, 8bit seems to work fine.

Bug Report and Log below.

Tx264 Log - http://www.mediafire.com/view/?0xk5dsvca4zxeay

[ozok]

@SeeMoreDigital no I didn't try it with Windows 8. Any input on that is welcome.

@Barough my bad. I generally check all the tools included in the package before a release but this time I missed it. You can replace them manually, I did after your warning and they work without a problem. (mkvmerge and mkvextract in tools\mkv\ folder)

@Marchand I don't have an explaination about this.

[BK-201]

@SeeMoreDigital,

I have run a successful encode session on Win8 64bit. Tx264 ran smoothly with no error :D

[soehest]

Getting a bit bored i decided to try out TX264. I like the clean and simple interface and the fact that it is not bloated by odd codec's etc :-) But i do have a question, which probabaly is stupid. Is TX264 supposed to work with vob files as input? I rip my dvd's to a single .vob file, but all encodes fail. As fair as i can tell something is wrong with the audio which can't be found:

Best regards

[ozok]

@BK-201 I don't understand why that happens.

@soehest, yes vob files should work. However, they sometimes have funny track ids for audio streams so TX264 has problem exracting them. I recently changed audio track id detecting method in TX264 and I seem to forget about the that issue about vob files. I'll return you when I find a solution.

Edit: typo

[BK-201]

@BK-201 I don't understand why that happens.

That's okay I recently upgraded to Win8 so there is no problem anymore :D

[SeeMoreDigital]

I'm having problems with Win8 32-bit... For some reason when ever I try to close down TX264 I obtain an 'Error Window'.

Here the log:

[ozok]

@SeeMoreDigital, TX264 is designed to work as a portable program, it keeps settings file in its folder. When you put it in ProgramFiles folder where programs are not allowed to write, it tries to write settings file to there and since it is not allowed, this causes an error. You can copy TX264 to an other location (like C:\tx264) where it can write to.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Thanks ozok,

What a 'school-boy' error for me to make :o

Now that I have TX264 running correctly I'm trying to create a 'Pre-defined' profile for TX264 which offers the same (or near enough) settings as my old AutoMKV 0.98 profile. However, I don't seem to be able to obtain the same looking output.

My AutoMKV 0.98 profile looks like this: -

How to load AVS script with tx264?

[ozok]

Just open them like any other video file (ie drag&drop). I cannot say if it will be converted properly because I used only very simple scripts.

[BK-201]

Okay I'll give it a try, that's if I can create an avs script lol

I'll post the results, if I have success. :D

[BK-201]

haha turns out I don't know what I'm doing, thought I did, could you give an example of an AVS script? :P

[ozok]

I don't use avs. But I used info from here (http://ffmpegsource.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/ffms2-avisynth.html).

[XanaMuui]

Hi! Can I make a sugestion? Can you put an option to lower the cpu priority to the x264 process (and all the others) when encoding?

Also, what does this means:
ffms [error]: could not create video source
lavf [info]: 1280x720p 0:1 @ 0/0 fps (vfr)
resize [warning]: converting from bgr24 to yuv420p

The enconding continues just fine and I get the final video working so I don't really understand that error.

[ozok]

@XanaMuui added feature request to my to-do list.

I don't know what that error/warning messages mean. Probably, a colospace change is being done while resizing.

[BK-201]

Suggestion,

Might be hard because you don't know much about .avs scripts, but how about adding a trim editor, kinda like the one in MeGui, or in V.A.F.E. that would give us the ability to create ordered chapters.

Cause I tried dragging the AVS script into tx264 and encoding like you said but couldn't get it to work.

[ozok]

I can add a feature to set start/end frames. Also can't you do it in the script?

What sort of error did you get when you tried to encode avs?

[BK-201]

1.) the feature to set start/end frames would be great :D

2.) would this feature allow us to trim certain parts out and encode the other parts together? for instance an anime trimming out the Openings and Endings, and encode the prologue, the main part of the episode, and the epilogue together?

3.) I don't like AVS scripts :P

4.) as for the AVS it just doesn't encode...it gives an error....probably cause I don't know the proper way of setting an AVS script up, I just used one that I got from an encode using MeGui lol

Tx264 Error: -video.mkv could not be created, see log for details

[whiskey]

Tried to convert small FLV file today as soon as program was done with audio window appeared with message x264.exe has failed to start because OpenCL.dll was not found. Re-install the application to fix the problem ....

[ozok]

@whiskey I used latest binaries from x264.nl. However looking at system32 and sysWOW64 folders, I see openCL.dll in both folders. I don't know how they got there. But there is a dummy opencl.dll created by Lord_Mulder located here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1625943#post1625943) which can be copied to tools/x264 next to x264.exe which also serves. Please read Lord_Mulder's explanation.

[Ruriko]

How can I add a watermark to the video?

[ozok]

@Ruriko I don't think you can do it without using an avisynth script.

[Ruriko]

@Ruriko I don't think you can do it without using and avisynth script.

does this program support avisynth?

[ozok]

Well, you can try opening avs files with it, but it is not tested with complex scripts and there will be no audio encoding support.

[BK-201]

Will we see the feature to set start/end frames in your next release?

and if so any idea if it will over write the keyframes for accurate trims?

[ozok]

It is not difficult to do it, I'll just pass frame options to x264. But the main problem is how to sync audio with video.

[Ruriko]

does this program have the ability to set priority? like in megui I could set encoding to Above Normal priority

[ozok]

Not at the moment. All backends run with idle priorty. Added this to my to-do list.

[ProVision]

Just asking, does TX264 support DTS sound?

Edit: Apparently it does, but when encoding for me only first 15mins max of a movie has sound then the rest of the movie has no sound?!!! I tested with NeroAAC and Aften AC3.

P.S. AMAZING software, man, well done. It's just slightly annoying that you can't specify settings for each encode.

BTW, have you stopped working on this? Because if I remember it has been in 0.9.6 forever!

[ozok]

@ProVision well, it's a batch encoder :). I actually haven't stopped working on TX264 but I have other projects (TAC, TEncoder, SmallX264, DVDx264) and got a bit side-tracked by them. Also I use SmallX264 instead of TX264 now so it gets less attention.

[ozok]

Update:
--0.9.7
-Added: Encoding time will be shown in the log
-Added: 64bit FLAC.exe
-Added: Tx264 will now write version info file to its own folder
-Added: Option to set encoder priorties (thx to XanaMuui&Ruriko)
-Fixed: A possible error where source files were deleted
-Updated: x264 to rev2345
-Updated: MediaInfo to 0.7.64

-Updated: QAAC to 2.19
-Updated: SoX build with unicode by Lord_Mulder

[ProVision]

And what about the DTS bug?

[ozok]

Can you post the log? You can send it to me too.

[XanaMuui]

How exactly do I use the "Combine with profiles"?

For example, I want to use preset Placebo, tune Film and just change the minimum quantiser to 10. I tried this but it seems to ignore the preset and tune and uses all from the advanced options.

PS: Thanks for the latest update!

[ozok]

You can see how profiles, presets, tune etc combine with other options from here: http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#Presets
Also you can manually enter options under "Custom Options" tab> "x264.exe". In your case "--qpmin 10" should work.

[SeeMoreDigital]

I've lost my pre-sets...

Can somebody remind me which encoder/x264 options I have to select in order to generate 'AVC lossless' encodes?

Many thanks

[ozok]

http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings can give you an idea.
-Profile to "Not set"
-CRF or quantizer to 0
I don't know much, these are what I could get out of wiki page.
BTW did you lose presets because of TX264?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Thanks, it's working fine now. I'm going to write this down for safe keeping :eek:

Are there any particular settings I need to select in order to generate 4:4:4 AVClossless encodes from my ProRes 4:4:4 sources?

BTW did you lose presets because of TX264?
I'm not entirely sure when it happened. All I know is, all my pre-sets have disappeared from the PreDefs folder.

[detmek]

crf 0 or qp 0 already uses 4:4:4 profile.

[ozok]

...
I'm not entirely sure when it happened. All I know is, all my pre-sets have disappeared from the PreDefs folder.
I see. Well, it also happened to me and a couple of users but I cannot reproduce it so far. So I suggest you make backups of your presets.

[SeeMoreDigital]

crf 0 or qp 0 already uses 4:4:4 profile.
Sadly, according to MediaInfo, everything is encoded at 4.2.0 :(

[detmek]

Right, sorry. Under Custom Options, add --output-csp i444 for x264.

x264.exe defaults to i420 so, if you feed it with 4:4:4 it will convert video to 4:2:0.

[SeeMoreDigital]

That's solved it... Many thanks...

[Ruriko]

Is there a way to add videos to queue? cause I want to give some of the videos different settings

[ozok]

I'm afraid it is not possible, TX264 is a batch encoder.

[salfumant]

Good job
I wonder if it would be possible implementarle the option work with Debug Frame Server. This would make the program more interesting as there are few who make and is a very interesting option for those who edit video.:thanks:

[ozok]

For some reason, tx264 parses audio's index as 1 when it is 2. Can you remux it with mkvtools and re-try?

[Ruriko]

I still get the same problem with the remux version

[ozok]

Can you send me a sample? Nothing too big.

[ozok]

@Ruriko, I think I solved your problem. Download tx264.exe from here (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9617171/TX264.7z). Make sure you have a backup of older one to be safe. With this build I can encode the sample you sent me.
Edit: I forgot, you should also download this (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9617171/wavi.7z) and copy "wavi.exe" to "Tools" folder.

[Ruriko]

thanks that new build fixes everything!

[Ruriko]

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

[ozok]

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.

[SeeMoreDigital]

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:

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.

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.

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]

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?

[ozok]

No, I don't plan to develop TX264 any further. Maybe bug fixes but not new features.

[Ruriko]

[ozok]

The problem seems to be with the subtitle muxing step. Did you try turning it off?

[Ruriko]

Oh it works without muxing subtitle but I want to mux the subtitles :(

[Dclose]

I like TX264, with the main reason of not using it being when I want more than one audio stream. It has built-in 10-bit encoding (which can be a noticeable improvement on animation), but a really big thing it has over other encoders I can think of is the AAC audio options.

Maybe they exist, but I can't think of any other Windows encoders that can use QAAC/TVBR. Handbrake is close with now having FDK, though I think QAAC is better, and HB's FDK can't do VBR. (edit: Oops, I can think of one, but batch encoding is so much easier with TX264.)

Just some praise there, and a thank you.
Also, since I'm typing, I couldn't get TX264 to work on a different computer, and I couldn't figure out why. I couldn't find a solution anywhere. It wasn't encoding audio, and then it would encode the video, and then the file would error at the end since it never encoded the audio.

It was only doing it with QAAC. I installed QAAC separately, but it still would error. Installing Quicktime fixed it. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has the same problem.

[ozok]

New version 0.9.8 changes:

-Added: Support for file extensions m2ts and ts
-Fixed: Options weren't saved when some post-encode options were selected
-Fixed: Moving files up/down could cause "Access violation" errors
-Fixed: If temp folder doesn't exist it will be created instead of just informing user
-Removed: Skin
-Updated: QAAC to 2.42
-Updated: FDKAAC to 0.6.0
-Updated: FFmpeg
-Updated: MkvToolNix to 7.2.0
-Updated: x264 to r2479kMod


Download (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tx264/)

[TOM_SK]

0.9.8.3219 doesn't work here:

http://i.imgur.com/iOT2kA4.png

[ozok]

Do you have the following files in tools/x264 folder?
-x264_10bit.exe
-x264_10bit_64.exe
-x264_32.exe
-x264_64.exe
It's possible your download is corrupted. MD5 of 7z file is 75f7fcfd41e3c78dee9f34753c0f6956

[TOM_SK]

Yep, all the files are there and the MD5 is exactly the same - downloaded of course from SourceForge.
Just for fun I downloaded the previous version and used the x264 folder with the version 0.9.8.3219 and works fine.
Something is missing form the new build or the x264 r2479kMod is not compatible with the new version.

[ozok]

32bit x264's name should be x264.exe not x264_32.exe. I use 64bit PC so I didn't notice it. I'll re-upload the package. You can just rename x264_32 to x264.exe if you already downloaded it.

[TOM_SK]

Great, thank you very much!

Hi, few issues with the latest version - 098:

1) Got an error:

The input video is a MKV, MPEG4 Video (H264) 696x480 (29:22) with DAR 4:3 and AC3 audio, subtitles and chapters

EDIT: the error went away after I disabled the option to set DAR in TX264. By mistake I enabled the option and set it to 4:3 not noticing the original already had that DAR.

2) I personally do not like that the stats that TX264 shows when encoding do not have any titles/description

The deconding of WMV files is working now.
Just out of curiosity, why did you removed the skins?
