I get an unplayable avi file with x264 cli.
May be I do something wrong :confused:
The same cmd line produce perfect mkv and mp4! I've tried both mplayer and mplayerc with ffdshow.
If I reduce trim range in avs I get a playable file. The same thing if I change bframes.

Avs:
Mpeg2Source("HPII.d2v", idct=2).Crop(0,72,-0,-72).trim(2050,2100).ConvertToYV12()

cmd line:
x264 --progress -A none -r 1 --me dia --bframes 3 --qcomp 0.6 --ipratio 1.40 --pbratio 1.30 --filter 3:3 -B400 --sar 61:45 -o HPII-CLI-test.avi HPII-CLI.avs

mplayer output:
Seek failed
Seek failed
AVI: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug :(

x264 version (by sharktooth):
x264 core:33 svn-273M

Anyone could solve it?

thank you!

umm.. x264.exe cannot write AVI output...

If you had used MeGUI it would've told you that you need mencoder for AVI output ;)

yup. it's not a bug and not an avi file coz cli doesnt output in avi at all. so it is either an h.264 raw stream or a mp4 file (dont remember what is the default...).

To be more precise: .mkv is fine playable with mplayer or mplayerc+ffdshow and this cmd line ;-)
