Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - Megui x264. Argument Error for every b-pyrimid option

Regarding the error, the syntax mismatch in 1056 can easily be got around by unchecking 'Keep some B-Frames as reference' in Frame Type and entering a custom parameter for x264 in the Misc tab. For b-pyramid it would be --b-pyramid strict or --b-pyramid normal (depending on if u want a strictly hierarchical pyramid or not).

BTW is it really a bug in 1057 coz I compared the scratchpad profile xml in 1057 with a profile xml in 1056 and found that the elements for mixed frames and the value types for BFramePyramid were different. On changing those, 1057 accepted the profile as a valid one & didnt delete it.

Took me 6 days to encode an hr long video with 2pass insane settings in build 1057 (Yea I know I have a bad processor. Moreover, it's a laptop). Cool huh.
