Description: This article explains the encoding options found in x264 (as seen through the eyes of StaxRip), with hints and tips about which settings to use
Description:
x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC video streams.
Playing back .MP4 H.264 encoded movies:
Use VideoLAN which has a built in .MP4 reader and H.264 decoder
r1688: Improve quantizer distribution with sliced-threads+VBV
Should help avoid cases of very uneven quantizer choice between slices.
r1687: Remove dead code in slicetype.c
r1686: Fix incorrect duration/framerate/bitrate in flv header
r1685: invalidate_reference fixes
invalidate_reference didn't actually invalidate the immediate previous frame, only frames that came before that.
Make sure that reordering is forced when invalidate_reference is used, so that the reference list is correct decoder-side.
r1684: Filtering system-related fixes
Fix configure to check for outdated libavutil in resize filter support.
Do not print an explicit error message in ffms when requesting a frame beyond the number of frames in the source.
Mention in --*help that filtering options can be specified as name=value.
Fix the shadowing warning in the resize filter on posix systems.
