x264 ignores qpfile in command line

[Habanero2]

hi,

i use x264 to encode some videos. i created a batch file with this command line (2-pass encoding):


x264 --preset slower --pass 1 --bitrate 1320 --stats "01.stats" --tff --sar 12:11 --output NUL "01.avs"
x264 --preset slower --pass 2 --bitrate 1320 --stats "01.stats" --tff --sar 12:11 --qpfile="01.txt" --output "01-new.mkv" "01.avs"


the avs script is very simple

loadplugin("C:\tools\dgindex\dgdecode.dll")
v = mpeg2source("title01_track1_eng.d2v")
a = ffaudiosource("title01.mkv",track=1)
audiodub(v,a)

(i use dgdecode because with ffms2 sometimes i have a wrong frame rate, 25.003 instead of 25.000; source file is interlaced mpeg2)

this is the qpfile:

1900 I
33391 I

i have tried other qpfiles, like K instead of I and with quantizer. allways the same.

when i mux the avc file in mkvmerge and set the split points, mkvmerge can't split the file at the right position, that means the frame isn't an i frame. this is no problem when i encode the same avs script with the same settings and with the same qpfile in megui (the command line above is copied from megui).

any ideas?

Frame type decision happens in the first pass so you already need to supply the qpfile at that point.

works, thx
