x264 [info]: file name gives 4x5 ?

Kairk · 2nd August 2006, 12:55

I'm encoding some videos that have 4x01,4x02 etc. in the .avs name and at the start of the encode x264 has a line:

x264 [info]: file name gives 4x5

(for the avs named abcdefg4x05.avs). What exactly does this mean?

x264 detects the framesize by the filename.

It shouldn't do that for an avs script...

Avisynth then overwrites the detected size.

i think it should be documented in the help (x264 -?) or be fixed since:

x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight]

in the case above, the "4x05" is in the "infile", not after it...

It does seem strange that it would pick up the resolution from the file name (I personally don't care for building syntax into names and such) since ##x## is a fairly common naming convention for episodic material, but as long as it does what I want, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the information.

Because x264 supported rawyuv before it supported avisynth.
Syntax into names? You mean you don't like to call your avisynth scripts "something.avs"?
