Hybrid(Windows/Linux/Mac): Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Selur]

thanks, found the problem, updated: - removed - and added MeGui Audio Import in the audio section

[MuLTiTaSK]

@Selur

mbtree is still getting disabled

getting this error importing audio profiles

[Selur]

-> tested it <NoMBTree>true</NoMBTree> enablea and <NoMBTree>false</NoMBTree> disables mbtree in MeGui wtf?
will change it and look into the audio thing.

updated: - removed - hope this fixes the problems (damn psu of my backup (file-)server just died)

Profile XML data is:
<X264Nalhrd>false</X264Nalhrd>
<X264Aud>false</X264Aud>
<SlicesNb>0</SlicesNb>
<KeyframeInterval>250</KeyframeInterval>
....
but command line shows:
--slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --keyint 24 .....
seems like megui nowadays mainly uses the CustomEncoderOptions-Tag:
<CustomEncoderOptions>--profile high --level 4.1 --bframes 3 --ref 4 --slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --b-pyramid strict --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000</CustomEncoderOptions>
ARGHHHH,.. seeing this I really think about removing MeGui x264 setting input support and add an import option where you enter your command line and Hybrid adjusts the settings accordingly, seems to be the better way to handle these strange config files,...
(I totally don't get why they don't use a xml-structure and don't use the nodes they have)

@Selur

XMedia Recode & XviD4PSP encoding presets in simple .ini format -> Profiles.7z

[Selur]

Xmedia Recode seems to use .ini files and Xvid3PSP simply saves the command line as a whole, so at leas writing a Import-X264-CommandLine-To-Hybrid-Settings method seems to be a good idea.
I'll write one tomorrow,..

@Selur

StaxRip has a import x264 switches from command-line (clipboard) function


just doesnt have support for as many x264 switches as Hybrid


thanks for the support

[Selur]

writing such a function isn't hard probably just a bit lengthy,...

Thanks

[Selur]

Threw out the MeGui-x264Import-Option. (will may be add a new one once they get their profiles less 'magical')
Add an import line Option which really became a lot larger than I would have thought yesterday (ended up to be 1k+ lines ), so here's a test version: - removed -

I'd like to request a taskbar icon for Hybrid, as I thought that the window was just plain disappearing in my KDE environment when I minimized it. Instead, it went to my task bar and left an empty space instead of an icon. Freaked me out for a few minutes.

[Selur]

@multitask: think I know where the problem is, will fix it. (have to enable the dependencies of subme10 before setting it)
-> updated: -removed- should work now,..
@Adub: I'll read up on how to add an task icon in kde,...
Just checked,...
KDE:

Gnome:

for me there's a system tray icon present,... though I admit that depending on your color theme it might be difficult to spot (will test on a friends system later today,..)

[Adub]

Wait, were those already in there, or did you just add them?

[Selur]

I started Hybrid and minimized it, didn't change any code.
What Qt Version are you running? (not totally sure if this works before 4.5, since I can't recollect to have tested it before, since I assumed it would work )

[Adub]

Ah! I can actually see it now if I look REALLY close. I have a black-ish taskbar, which makes it nigh-impossible to see.

[Selur]

Ah, okay. Will modify the icon so that it is better visible on dark ground. (That is by far easier than trying to find a bug I can't reproduce. )
What linux build are you using: 32/64 bit? (so I can send you a test version)

[Adub]

64 bit, gentoo-based "Sabayon Linux".
