View Full Version : All my PS3 encodes playback black, can't figure out why

I've tried everything:


ffmpeg -f image2 -r 24 -i test.%7d.tif -c:v libx264 -profile:v $PROFILE -level $LEVEL -preset veryslow -tune ssim -ssim 1 -crf $CRF -maxrate 25000k -bufsize 25000k -pix_fmt yuv420p test.mp4


Here's what I've tried:

PROFILE: baseline, main & high
LEVEL: 4.1
CRF: 1-18

Bitrate seems fine since I have the limits in place. Some of the higher CRF values gets me bitrates lower than the caps. Still, every single file I make decodes as black which I guess means there's something wrong set out of bounds.

Well, found my problem. Somehow setting High@4.1 still resulted in 16 ref frames. WTH. I thought that would have limited me to the correct spec.

That's a feature of x264cli ("264.exe"), not necessarily of other applications like ffmpeg.
