weightp coreavc artifacts corruption

New x264 builds show visual artifacts caused by weightp 2.

Reason, coreavc doesn't support it yet. Will in Version 2.

Solution = VLC player or ffdshow decoder or Media Player Classic Home Theatre

Example,

This is a problem many Mobile Devices won't support weightp=2 it seems, so all content you create with it wont probably be interoperable with most Hardware Decoders (or embedded codecs running on DSPs) on the market currently (talking about all the current available 720p HDMI Pmps for example). Weightp=1 seems to be the same Ateme uses since the beginning and have no problems but with X264 weightp=2 streams i can see a bulk of issues coming if it get's used by more and more people i guess it's gonna get problematic once again for the ecosystem around H.264, especially already on the market solutions will be affected, not sure if this is a good thing @ all maybe it would be better to skip weightp=2 completely in terms of interoperability.

I mean it isn't a good thing at all for the user and content producers if it brakes so many Devices already on the market, and be sure not everyone of those will be updated only to support this like CoreCodec now does it. I find this a very Problematic situation if it's really no bug i saw these problems already but visually i see black blocks not like here distored blocks which seem to use weightp=2 i really hope it's a bug (or miscompiled X264 streams floating around, will do my own tests soon) .
This seems to have the potential to become the new Qpel, GMC disaster we had with ASP just in another incarnation we just slowly moving out of the High Profile problem and now another one gets created that seems even more problematic.

Those who follow 1a would've found this info on at least 5 places on this forum even without this.

Dont know; I've been expirimenting. CoreAVC, ffdshow and others dont seem to accept weightp correctly. But my STD (panasonic BD30) accepts them fine. The refs-problem i posted before hasn't shown up any more (it seems i did the test incorrectly, so i'm running the same test again to rule out errors i made before).

So in this case its not like the GMC we had before, where computers accepted gmc, and STD's didn't. It's the other way around now, and computer-software can be fixed.

And anyway; We were already warned about the problem OP/Audionut mentioned. DS wrote about this potential problem on the x264 GIT even before weightp was added.

What the heck are you on about?

We've tested dozens of software and hardware decoders. There are a grand total of two that fail: CoreAVC and the Apple TV. Basically everything else works.

No problems discovered so far with CoreAVC 1.9.5 using CUDA.

...because CoreAVC with CUDA enabled lets do NVIDIA's VP2 hardware decoder all the work

So am I. Exact same issue as shown above in first post.
I can post a screenshot if needed.

Edit: I should add I'm not using coreavc. This seems to traverse across multiple gui's, seems its an x264 issue.

I already tested this with Flash. It works perfectly. If it didn't, I wouldn't have made it default.

Your sample works perfectly fine with Flash 10.0.32.18, maybe some old/outdated version had problems?

This has been tested in 2 different flash players and I'm of course using the latest flash.

It can be seen here http://vizmu.com/player/flash/test2.html
Scrub to 50 seconds, it's shortly after that @ 56-59

working version - scrub to 50 seconds.

When I disable weighted p its fine. It seems to be very specific to the scene type.

Nothing to do with weightp; looks like a corrupt file to me. Stop using miscompiled builds of x264.

If you have the latest x264 and you don't think your build is miscompiled, give me the exact settings and input file necessary to replicate the problem.

What build do you suggest for 32 bit. I've tried the last few versions from http://x264.nl/ and jeeb's and rack's. All have the same result unless weighted p is disabled.

Edit: Getting settings together for you now. Edit:nvm

Nevermind; I was wrong, JM says the encode is not corrupt.

Does the problem still occur if you encode with weightp and --nf?
