VirtualDub does not need VfW, it can also pipe to external cli encoders. See VirtualDub's help on "external encoders". You can even get some presets ready to import for easy setup which include x265 among others: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3...ncoder-feature

There are no new ones for VirtualDub. You can use some tricks at X265 / vpx / Daala / MP4Box / mkvmerge, but do they work?
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172546 As for me, why artificially create workarounds like they are converters for the new codecs. Container Avi deleted. There isn't even VP8 codec. You can force the creation of an AVI using ffmpeg: Code:
ffmpeg -i input.mts -s 1920x1080 -r 50000/1000 -f avi -c:v libx265 -x265-params ... -vtag HEVC output_H265.avi |

Hi All,
The initial (the first widely working) version of x265vfw, based on the x264vfw, using the x265 library dll. Homepage: http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net Follow on FB: http://www.facebook.com/mpxplay Last edited by MZ/X; 29th January 2017 at 09:56. Reason: obsolete |

x265vfw v120 is updated with decoder side and x64 version. The direct stream copy (with VdubMod) and dshow playing (with Mpxplay-MMC) seems to work.
I've found that the 2-pass encoding crashes with original VirtualDub versions, but it seems to work with VirtualDubMod (x86). Under testing... http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net Last edited by MZ/X; 29th January 2017 at 09:48. |

Seems to happen all the time, with AmaRec. So im unable to use 265vfw, 264vfw on the other hand works fine however
Also have noticed that the x64 bit version never shows up in the codec list within AmaRec (x86 shows up however), is there a reason for this? Last edited by BlockABoots; 31st January 2016 at 20:19. |

My-my, it's AmmAZING! Just tried this on Vegas Pro and it works like a charm. I always set Logging Level to NONE since x264's problems with any other option of this setting. x64 bit. Choosing FILE mode and container would be nice perks but it works without it so cool indeed.
P.S. Command line working would be good too. For example in Vegas I need to set --range-pc in vfw264 and vfw--265 to keep original levels. Last edited by Ajvar; 18th November 2016 at 14:09. |

Sorry for the long delay...
x265vfw v1.30 is released on http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net Diffs between v1.20 and v1.30 - updated x265lib to v2.2 release (build 102) - updated FFmpeg decoder to v3.2.2 - enabled multi-threaded decoding (depending on the number of CPU cores) - added x265lib command line options handling and list of them under Help ("?") button (needs test) - x265lib errors are displayed in x265vfw error window (stdout redirection, missing EoL) - added "Full" log level to display all x265 library messages (needs test) - disabled "Update stat file" option by default - modified x264.stats to x265.stats by default - removed untested and probably unusefull GordianKnot workaround - added "hvc1" and "hev1" to fourCC list - binaries are built with MinGW 6.3 "latest" release files are removed from x265vfw directory, please visit my homepage for the latest versions I haven't made major changes in the encoding method, so some problems is still the same (like crashing in original VirtualDub in 2-pass encoding, and x265vfw file output doesn't work yet) @BlockABoots 1.Maybe the newer x265vfw drops some extra error messages to identify the problem. 2. x64 driver for the x64 applications, x86 driver for the x86 applications... I think so You can install and use both driver parallel, but I haven't tested it Last edited by MZ/X; 29th January 2017 at 10:19. Reason: additional infos |

Thanks for the resumption of the project vfw X265 .
Certainly there is already progress. I looked at the codec in Vegas Magix 14. I have got some questions: 1) Will I be able in the future to import files RGBA64? 2) Will I be able to export files 10bit? 3) Do you plan to add function tune VMAF? I noticed that you can't add functions colorMatrix, transfer, colorprism and range. I understand that something is in the implementation. |

Thnx for the feedback.
I plan to rework (replace) the color space conversions, because it's a weakness (an ugly part) of the codec. Then I will check what is supported in the VFW API at all. Maybe everything (RGBA64 input, 10 bits output), but I don't know yet. Probably I have to review the command line options, because some of them are unsupported (invalid), other ones (vfw config related) are dropped out (but should work). But first please press '?' to list the available options, because --input-csp and --output-depth are surely not supported. And report those ones only, which should work, but has no effect. (I've tested the "--lossless" option, while the GUI Rate control was ABR, and it made lossless output, using the command line setting) Maybe the VUI info is not written into the bitstream, I'll check this. I have no knowledge about this part. ("--colormatrix" and such options) btw. What is the VMAF tune? It's not here: http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/presets.html Last edited by MZ/X; 29th January 2017 at 17:09. Reason: correction |

VMAF = complete Linux mess
The package contains something ptools lib too, probably the Netflix's tools, including socket communication and other weird things. I don't think so that x265lib developers will add this feature to their code in this shape (and I also don't plan to do it)... It requires a strong rework for a general use...

x265vfw v1.51 is released on http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net
A major new feature is the file output writing (AVI,MP4,MKV). Jamaika: There is a strong improvement in the VMAF to use it as a library (I can compile it), but - it seems for me - the VMAF is just a measurement tool, I don't see yet how can it be used to tune a video encoding. This is a good description anyway: https://www.diycode.cc/projects/Netflix/vmaf |

What's New •(8/12/17) VMAF is now included as a filter in FFmpeg main branch, and can be configured using: ./configure --enable-libvmaf. •(7/16/17) VMAF is now packaged into a library call libvmaf and can be called from a C/C++ program directly. See this section for details. |
