x264 r1301 issue

leghorn posted 2009 Oct 22 02:49

Hi folks, I've been trying to convert a DVD to mp4 using meGUI with x264. As stated in the subject line I go with x264 r1301. When configuring meGUI I have this commandline: : program --profile high --pass 2 --bitrate 465 --stats ".stats" --thread-input --deblock -1:-1 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --scenecut 64 --ref 5 --rc-lookahead 45 --cqm "jvt" --merange 32 --me umh --subme 10 --partitions all --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --no-psy --output "output" "input" Then queue and run it...Error message occurs saying invalid argument: b-pyramid = --scenecut So resetting the scenecut value to its default of 40 actually removes that option from the commandline and things look like this: : program --profile high --pass 2 --bitrate 465 --stats ".stats" --thread-input --deblock -1:-1 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid --ref 5 --rc-lookahead 45 --cqm "jvt" --merange 32 --me umh --subme 10 --partitions all --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --no-psy --output "output" "input" The queue and run it again...Error message occurs saying invalid argument: b-pyramid == --ref Prior to r1301 I used r1292 and it worked fine. No problems at all. Maybe anybody has an idea how to fix this? Despite downgrading to r1292...

MeGUI hasn't been updated yet to reflect the new changes The new switches are --b-pyramid strict --b-pyramid normal --b-pyramid none none is default, strict is for the new blu-ray compliance (no p-frames can reference b-frames) and slightly worse compression, normal is the old method If you are using mb-tree, b-pyramid doesn't work with it yet anyways, otherwise you can turn it off --no mb-tree

well then, it's waiting for an update or manually changing stuff...

Development has slowed down on that project, especially compared to the furious pace x264 development. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for updates. Kurtnoise has a beta server, if you update your config in the options, but even that is far behind compared to x264 development http://kurtnoise.free.fr/MeGUI/ The gui is still useable, if you use the commandline box.
