[Bug 182999] Re: AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch).
There is a workaround for this bug. The bug is caused by acidrip not passing the necessary command line parameters to mencoder for the new version of libx264-57 library. But the necessary options may be set as defaults in an mencoder.conf file. Create an mencoder.conf file (I created mine in ~/.mplayer/menoder.conf, but according to the man page /etc/mplayer/mencoder.conf or /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mencoder.conf should work as well) and place inside it a line like this: x264encopts=subq=6:partitions=all:8x8dct:me=umh:frameref=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto:qp=20 I believe the only option that is /truely/ necessary in order for acidrip to work is the qp=XX option. The value for XX and the other options listed in the line above are merely taken from a previous post in this list as the 'optimal' settings for an 'ultra-high' quality encoding. Attached is my mencoder.conf file. ** Attachment added: "Working mencoder.conf file that allows acidrip to work w/ x264 encoding" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14612576/mencoder.conf -- AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 182999] Re: AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch).
The problem you are having now is that you no longer included a bitrate to encode at. Acidrip will automatically append :bitrate=:pass=[1,2] to make it work. You also neglected the -x264encopts switch before the line of options for the x264 encoder, which is why mencoder was unable to find the encoding options. In your case, you no longer included the bitrate=869 which was in your original command (that acidrip added for you). If you don't include the pass=1/2, it will encode in one pass (bad). If you want to encode in one pass, you can do it, but should use the option crf= to get constant quality... I think a quality of 17-22 is fine, so I usually just use that as it gets me pretty good much faster than two pass encoding. However, two-pass is the way to go for the highest quality.

Re: [Bug 182999] Re: AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch).
It appears that the mencoder x264 options have changed since I wrote the patch. The me=3 option has been replaced with me=umh. However, it appears that using umh over hex has a negligible gain in encoding quality anyway, so I would recommend deleting the me=3 bit in the encoding command. In fact, you can replace the entire option line for the encoding with: subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto for high quality encoding at reasonable speed, and with: subq=6:partitions=all:8x8dct:me=umh:frameref=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto for ultra high quality encoding at slow speed. These are the new "recommended" encoding options from the mencoder homepage (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/en/MPlayer.html#menc-feat-x264-encoding-options).

Re: [Bug 182999] Re: AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch).
Not anymore, it's been years since I used xvid. I'd suggest removing any changes to the xvid code. I highly recommend that everyone switch to x264 at this stage. Additionally, the default setting for the x264 code should be changed as the mencoder interface has changed. The recommended setting now is: subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto Personally, I recommend doing only 1-pass encoding with no included bitrate, and using the crf switch to control quality. I've found it to be much faster, and nearly equal in quality to two-pass encoding. However, my perl-fu is too weak to add additional interface options to the encode box. I think the ideal setup would be to allow the user to select either encode with bitrate or encode with quality, and then have a numerical entry box for bitrate, or crf value. I've found that at crf=18, the quality is indistinguishable from the actual data from my video camera. However, if it is desired to do two-pass encoding, the option turbo=1 should probably also be included in the default options list. Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm very busy right now and don't have time to do much clean up work. In a few weeks I might be able to look into taking the current acidrip source files and re-modifying them to effect up-to-date changes. There's also a bug in the scaling code that I've yet to track down. At this point I'm doing manual modification of the output scripts to fix it. The issue is that when you encode from a DVD with cropping, it ends up encoding at a funny resolution (probably because the DVD has rectangular boxes). You'll notice when you play a DVD that mplayer shows something like 720x386 -> 720x480 or whatever (I made up numbers). After cropping, you should play the movie again and see what the output size is. That's the actual aspect ratio that should be scaled in accordance with. For some reason, acidrip defaults to scaling in accordance with the original rectangular pixels instead of the actual screen appearance, which uses a lot more data for effectively no gain. -Brian On Thu, 2008-01-24 at 19:58 +, John Dong wrote: > Hi, > > Can you please explain the changes made to xvid encode settings? > > ** Changed in: acidrip (Ubuntu) >Importance: Undecided => Wishlist >Status: New => Incomplete > -- AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think I made more modifications than I report in acidrip.pm (I made it record to a temporary file, improved support for xvid, and made other changes which I've honestly forgotten the reason for, but it all works fine on my computer.) Here are the patches. ** Attachment added: "acidrip.pm x264/xvid support" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11340885/acidrip.pm.patch -- AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
