btw, got the VD2 working with the external encoder, it simply boils down to matching the actual called/underlying binaries, ffmpeg, etc. with the right command line flags.. tricky part is there are many "flavors" of these tools, with various "options" built into them.

Pressing F8 shows the Vdub LOG, then one can extract the cmd lines from there, running them separately produces the actual error, for example:

Code:
x264 [error]: not compiled with MP4 output support
VD2 does not capture this output, it just gets to show as a 'broken pipe' or some generic/random failures as posted earlier.

Once u got the right bits, with right flags, and sequence of tools, it works.. not trivial though

For the above 'not compiled with mp4' ended up switching to Multiplexing with MP4Box using such flags:

Code:
-add "%(tempvideofile)" -add "%(tempaudiofile)" -fps %(fps) "%(outputname)"
then can use the "official" x264 from:

http://download.videolan.org/pub/vid...x264/binaries/

moving on to implement the suggestions of the original post made following changes:
- film in 60fps on source material
- latest X264, with preset Slower, Tuning Film, and CRF 15, and going down further..

so far looks better... I'm sure it'll improve with time,

thanks for the support/suggestions.
Stormy.
