View Full Version : x264 crashes at the end of every encode

My x264 is crashing as soon as it finishes each of my encodes. It completes it and the files are fine. It's not really an issue, but I'd like to prevent it if possible. The log doesn't indicate any errors either.

Are you using AviSynth? Often these problems are related to AviSynth not closing correctly and can be fixed by an AviSynth update or playing around with the filters a bit. You should be able to test it if you just pipe to NUL, e.g. "avs2pipemod -y4mp script.avs > NUL" - if it still crashes it is not related to x264 itself.

I see, thank you. It's not an issue since the encodes finish fine, but I'm glad I know why now.

x264 crashing all the time would bother me a lot, even if the files seem fine.
but I'm glad I know why now.
You do? Care to share?

Well, I think it's safe to assume that it's an avisynth problem, especially since I'm using multithreading. If you could explain (or link me to information about) exactly how I can test to figure it out, then I'd be more than happy to follow your instructions.
