[Sharktooth]

0.3.1.1050
- (sharktooth) [x264] Added --profile support with a slight difference with x264 defaults. Autoguess means no --profile option will be specified. High/Main/Baseline will set the --profile option accordingly.
- (sharktooth) [x264] Set CRF 23 as default encoding mode.
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Trellis is now enabled by default as well...
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] More fixes...
- (sharktooth) [x264ConfigurationPanel] Additional checks and fixes for h.264 Profiles restrictions.
All major bugs in x264 configuration and commandline generation should be fixed by now even if some options will still be redundant...

thanks...

Sharktooth, ContextHelp.xml file needs to be updated to reflect the last x264 changes. Do you (or any volunteers ??!! quite easy to do as task) have the time to look at this today ? If not, I should have some free time tonight to check this & fix the lossless issue.

Bug #2819292 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2819292&group_id=156112&atid=798476)

OneClick's automatically-created chapter files suffer from progressive desynchronization when encoding NTSC DVDs (I haven't tested PAL.) At then end of a one-hour encoded MKV, the chapter marks will be early by three or four seconds.

did you compare the result with the chapters file from DVDDecrypter ?

Bug #2819292 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2819292&group_id=156112&atid=798476)

OneClick's automatically-created chapter files suffer from progressive desynchronization when encoding NTSC DVDs (I haven't tested PAL.) At then end of a one-hour encoded MKV, the chapter marks will be early by three or four seconds.

This is an old problem I've had with ChapterGrabber, which can be solved (in the ChapterGrabber GUI) by a) loading NTSC disc, b) Change current FPS to 30.000, and finally c) Convert Chapter Times by FPS to 29.970.

As a quick and dirty fix to get proper chapter times, I did this:

There must be a better way (and one that also addresses other input FPS values), but I don't fully understand the GetStreams() code in class IfoExtractor.
Frankly, I don't understand your hack...w/ a NTSC DVD as source and the current code, pgc.FramePerSecond returns 29,97002997003 (that's the result of 30D / 1.001D). How this value can create a drift of 3/4s after one-hour ?

Bugreport:
When I set B-frames to zero in the Xvid configuration dialog, the checkbox "Use VHQ for B-frames" automatically disabled and become unchecked, even it was checked. But when i set B-frames to some numbers, this checkbox enabled with NO check. Think it would be better, to disable this checkbox with check, if it was checked, to correctly restore it's state.

wong thread and not a bug. also VHQ for B-Frames is not default so that is an intended behavior.

Thank for the reply.

by default, "--preset fast" will be load. Is there anyway for me to customize my encoding without any interfere from the preset? I can see that Medium option have no "--preset" switch but does it let me customize my encoding setting? Please advise.



My settings until x264 version 1170+ was:

program --pass 2 --bitrate 500 --stats ".stats" --ref 6 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --direct auto --subme 9 --trellis 2 --partitions all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 2500 --me umh --merange 24 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"

Any Idea how can I get this setting without any interference from any preset? Of course I will use MBtree and "--subme 10" but I would like to keep my old setting for the rest of the encoding option. Please advice.


:thanks:

--ref 3 is part of the default settings, there is no need to put it in the command line.

I don't see this behavior with the version 0.3.1.1051. Are you sure you have really set the number of ref frames to 3 ?

[x10amin]

Well, is 1053.Futher more if I set the output container to MP4,the encode will fail but RAWAVC works.
Just realize this is a development thread but I guess is okay to post here.

[nurbs]

What x264 build do you use? Are you sure it has been compiled with mp4 output enabled? If you type "x264 --help" in a command line window it will tell you the version number and if mp4 support is enabled as part of the first couple of lines it outputs.

BTW that looks like the first pass of a two pass encode and it's normal that settings aren't the same as you specify for the second pass unless you explicitly tell the encoder to use the same settings, although you shouldn't have a video file and refs should be reduced to 1 in that case.

[x10amin]

You mean this?I get all required files from auto update features in MeGUI
x264 core:70 r1206M 9a54c48
Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight]

Infile can be raw YUV 4:2:0 (in which case resolution is required),
or YUV4MPEG 4:2:0 (*.y4m),
or AVI or Avisynth if compiled with AVIS support (yes).
Outfile type is selected by filename:

guys, I have some time on my hand and I'm on a brand new Win7 64bit install and eager to try out the whole 64 bit thing. I realize there was an aborted attempt to get the 64bit thing to fly.. any pointers as to what to look at to continue that work?

I smell a rule #6 strike here...:rolleyes:

Win7 has already been released on MSDN/TechNet ...

[Doom9]

Good thing I do have a sense of humor ;) I've previously outed myself as having access to MSDN. Furthermore, I didn't say RTM or RC.. you can still download the RC. And playing devil's advocate... since Win2000 it's not about the software anymore, it's about your key. Microsoft doesn't really care if you download something off P2P as long as you have your own legal key for it. It's just when you start playing around with activators or BIOS mods along with leaked OEM keys that you're going to have a problem.

I have very little knowledge on the 64-bit side of encoding, so I'm interested in this as well. I've never tried it myself but I've looked around for the things needed for it. For AVISynth, you can get a 64-bit build and compatable filters on squid_80's site (http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/). http://x264.nl/ stays up to date with the 32 and 64 bit builds of x264. I hear MeGUI has a 64-bit mode, but I don't know the specifics of that. I might just put it all together and see if it works :D

Do keep us updated on your quest. I also interested in using 64 bit version of x264 (on 64 bit MeGUI) if it is reliable and not too hard to setup.

:thanks:

Basically for 64bit encoding you can either go through the "not so many filters and maybe slower"'ish AVS64 and 64bit x264 route (that Yoshiyuki Blade mentioned), or the route with the same 32bit AVS, avs2yuv, some piping and 64bit x264.

Both should work and currently the 32bit AVS does have a bigger selection of filters.

I think the best approach, at least for the time being, would be inserting avs2yuv in the MeGUI chain, if a x64 OS is detected, like Ripbot264 does. For the full featured x64 chain, it would need several plugins that don't support 64 bits yet, so it would be kinda crippled, right?
