Proper location of AQ in bat file

markrb · 4th August 2006, 19:06

I am trying aq-strength aq-sensitivity in my x264 encodes.
Should I place the text before or after the matrix profile?

Also if I am doing a 2 pass should I have it in the first pass at all?

The following is an example test script I am trying. I removed the deblocking filter on purpose for this test.

C:\Progra~1\megui\tools\x264\x264.exe --bitrate 2000 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --aq-strength .50 --aq-sensitivity 15 --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --direct auto --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --threads 2 --thread-input --cqmfile "C:\Progra~1\megui\profiles\eqm_avc_hr.cfg" --progress --no-dct-decimate --output "D:\lc\x264fil.mkv" "D:\lc\1.avs"

Is the aq in the correct spot?

Thanks,
Mark

As far as i know for x264.exe it does not matter where you put any commandline parameter (except maybe the input and output, or input only)

Order doesn't matter at all.
POSIX getopt requries that the input file be last, but GNU getopt doesn't care.

Thanks for the info.

What about if I should place it in the first of 2 passes?
