Fixed. Thank you.

What happened to the Intel builds?

rack04, x264_x86_r1613M download link links to an archive named x264_x86_r1612M.7z

Is it just a typo?

What does --help say?

Rack04 : Big problem with your x64 1613M version. I have the program wich brutaly crash/stop without any kind of error message after encoding 30 frames of the 1rst pass (video is 1280x720 23.976fps)...

Post a sample that can be reproduced. Do it work with unpatched build?

Well, replace the older command line with the newer that should use rack04 patched compile.

[jpsdr]

I'll make other tests this evening. With unpatched build, the command line will be of course without open-gop.

You've only fixed _x86 part. <komisar> is still mentioned at _x64 part.
I think it would be easier for you and also for the readers to join that
descriptive links to patches. Write them just once together with compilation
settings used and post only separate download links to _x86 / _x64 builds underneath.
Same suggestion to unpatched builds applies.
It's redundant and likely error prone to write same information twice, no need for that.

Same here, tried to encode 1920x1080/24

--profile high --preset veryslow --tune film --slices 4 --level 4.0 --keyint 48 --min-keyint 2 --aq-mode 2 --b-pyramid strict --aud --nal-hrd vbr --open-gop --vbv-bufsize 31250 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --direct auto

Same encode worked with 1603, I just updated the exe to 1613M and restarted encode.

Have you tried without open-gop? Can you post a sample?

[Wishbringer]

Without --open-gop it works (1st pass was ok, atm it started 2nd pass and is at 10%).
Sorry, no sample, am here at girlfriend with only 64kbit/sec upload speed.

I found the problem. Try this build. I will update the download link in the other post.

[jpsdr]

Was the problem specific to x64 build ?

Nope. I managed to screw up the the open-gop patch. It should be fixed now.

[Wishbringer]

Seems to work now, 1st pass at 30%, no crash like first build at 0-1%.

Thanks rack04!

[jpsdr]

@Rack04Thanks for the builds and the updates. I'll test it.
@Wishbringer : Level 4.0 don't need slices (if encoding for blu-ray), so, removing will slighty improve quality.

I continue to have the same situation with first pass truncked after some minutes with only a "encode failed" and second pass that can't find the "stat file".

I've downloaded again from the Rack04 updated post the new build (with the open gop corrected patch), but same problem.

I download the x86 without filters.

Am i missing something?

Thanks

The 1613 build without "M" in name?
Does it even have open-gop-patch? it's not "Modified"!
Maybe your 1st pass doesn't start because it can't recognize "--open-gop" command.
