Re: Zarx264gui 2.0 beta - feedback wanted
Sorry, the latter half of my message got cut off somehow.
Anyway, I tried to load a Lagarith AVI file with .WAV as the audio [what I usually encode from] into it and encode into MP4 [I haven't altered any of the basic stuff], and it continues to give me the error message:
lavf [warning]: video decoding failed on frame 0
When using the older ZarxGui, I have no issue with it and it encodes just fine.

update your decoder.

I believe it will actually encode if you let it continue spitting out that error for a moment.
You should also be able to put in the commandline arguments box:
--demuxer avs
And that should also work.
I might see if I can add in a special case for that, or something.

Never mind, didn't realize it was an error being spit out from zarxgui.Pwolf wrote:update your decoder.

Ok, the AVS demuxer worked just fine. Encoding well now, thank you.

The Lagarith decoder in libavcodec only supports YV12 files, and will fail with that exact error if you give it anything other than YV12. The error is coming directly out of x264's LAVF input module. Short of that decoder being fleshed out more, it's not going to resolve the issue.CodeZTM wrote:lavf [warning]: video decoding failed on frame 0
If you force it to use --demuxer avs and it works, that's because it's using the normal Lagarith VFW decoder and thus has no issue with other colorspaces, same as if you were giving it a regular AviSynth script using AVISource().
If MediaInfo is used for more than just simple reading, then I'd imagine the workaround would be either:
A) If it detects the file as Lagarith, force the use of --demuxer avs
B) If it detects the file as Lagarith, and 4:2:0, pass it through; anything other than 4:2:0, then force --demuxer avs (although this has the possibility of being non-consistent if there are any fflagarith-centric decoding quirks...I don't know how it treats nulls)

Re: Zarx264gui 2.0 beta - feedback wanted
I'd like to throw in for a processing queue being useful. I don't normally have multiple videos to batch encode, but I do often have several combinations of settings i'd like to try before I settle on which one has the best quality/size ratio for a given video or for tweaking settings to reduce problems not noticeable before encoding that the encoding process can make worse - like banding. Lack of any sort of preview makes this necessary to get within the 100MB limit with HD videos.

In cases like that I usually export as a .bat file, then copy/paste the settings on successive lines, modifying each line as necessary:BasharOfTheAges wrote:I'd like to throw in for a processing queue being useful.

Code: Select all
"x264.exe" --crf 20 --preset veryslow --tune animation --acodec mp3 --aquality 4 --output "outputvideo_crf20.mkv" "inputvideo.avs"
"x264.exe" --crf 19 --preset veryslow --tune animation --acodec mp3 --aquality 4 --output "outputvideo_crf19.mkv" "inputvideo.avs"
"x264.exe" --crf 18 --preset veryslow --tune animation --acodec mp3 --aquality 4 --output "outputvideo_crf18.mkv" "inputvideo.avs"
"x264.exe" --crf 17 --preset veryslow --tune animation --acodec mp3 --aquality 4 --output "outputvideo_crf17.mkv" "inputvideo.avs"
"x264.exe" --crf 16 --preset veryslow --tune animation --acodec mp3 --aquality 4 --output "outputvideo_crf16.mkv" "inputvideo.avs"
Pause
So, without creating a GUI or anything, I suppose the easiest way to add "queue functionality" would be to write new lines to a master .bat file instead of creating a new .bat each time.
It sounds easy enough to implement, but then again, I don't know c# .Net

Re: Zarx264gui 2.0 beta - feedback wanted
It would be more efficient if the program did all the batch stuff for you In all seriousness tho, that's what I would do (make a batch file with all the command line options). I did look at the code and made a rough implementation for Alan to start with if we wants to add it into the program. Would definitely be nice to have.

Alright, thanks to pwolf's help, I will be adding batch support soon.
I also want to point out that the mp3 encoder in this version has some serious bugs, and I don't recommend using it for actual videos unless you THOROUGHLY listen to the output and verify that it contains no errors.
