Research :x264 patched version with multi-slicing + hrd
Hello,
I'm trying to encode video for Scenarist, but I've some problem with multi-slices and MUI Generator import. I looked a lot of thread talking about this problem and I saw apparently it exist a version of x264 including the patch for multi-slicing (+ hdr). I'm looking for this version, does someone have it and could send it to me or tell me where I can find it ? Thank you very much for your help |

1. be more specific, what error message do you get? which scenarist version?
2. try running your stream through h264info (v25 alpha), uncheck all checkboxes, this is how I'm getting Scenarist Workgroup Blu-Ray Authoring 4.2 to work. Tal |

The message is.
Error : The picture is not encoded as multi-slice picture with 4 or more slices per picture in case of Level 4.1.(Slice:1) The latest versions of Scenarist (5.0 up) will not import Level 4.1 unless it meets BD spec. It will import .ves files created with earlier versions MUI generator(below 5.0), but I believe you have to completely uninstall Scenarist to install an earlier version. Are there any plans to add picture multi-slice to X.264? |

I guess r606 was the last version of x264 where multi-slicing was available.
Multi-slicing has been dropped in x264 since then and I would welcome its return for Sony DVD-A 5.0 or DVDitHD 6.4 (Sonic) compliance. But development has gone a different way. I feel that Sony and Sonic's demand for multi-sliced encodes has something to do with forcing users into their expensive encoders which supply these streams, not necessarily with a better picture quality in prospect. Multi-slicing won't help picture quality I feel. (I may be wrong,though...) Better Sony and Sonic lift their unnecessary blockage. They use terms like "Only professional (meaning "Our") encoders provide professional quality" and I tend to doubt that, seeing x264 refinement. ;-) |

Maybe my DVD-A and DVDitHD, (sitting almost H264-unused since purchase) will happily be revived. |

You need need the nal-hrd patched build, with correct vbv settings, and encoded to raw avc (no container). MeGUI comes with the patched build and presets, and it seems to pass through fine (no re-encoding)
Another option is to use h264info to process the stream, but apparently it changes some things in the stream (that I don't understand, so I prefer option #1) see for more info: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146199 DVD-A won't "see" a raw streams when importing , so select "all files" from the drop down menu to "see" it |

Yesterday Multi-slicing was added. When the nal-hrd patch is adapted for this addition, x264 should now be able to generate BD-compliant streams as i understand. (or does the MUI generator not need to have nal-hrd units in the stream, only slices ?)
Anyway: Is anyone that has access to Scenarist BD able to try the new x264 builds ? Would be very very nice to be able to use x264 for BD project, in stead of other encoders (that often produce streams of less quality). http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...74#post1320574 Quote:

I don't think you should touch the max-size and mbs ones, unless you really need to (correct me if I'm wrong, someone). Also keep in mind that you can do just fine without slices if you choose L4.0 for BD. L4.1 requires slices, though I'd add slices even for L4.0 just to be on the safe side Last edited by microchip8; 1st September 2009 at 13:28. |
