Re: CLI returns with 0 exit status under error conditions
Err...no reason to antagonize John. He was pretty much agreeing with you except for the one technical point you were glossing over. Thank you for the dd example, but I don't think its model is really applicable for HB. Please direct me to the relevant line numbers if I'm missing something. It just s...

Re: CLI returns with 0 exit status under error conditions
As I mentioned in the prior threads, it seems like the best solution for this would be to utilize the error and warning handling* eddyg added to libhb. That way actual information can be communicated to the user instead of an inscrutable error code. * Pretty sure hb_warn() never made it in but there...

Re: CLI returns with 0 exit status under error conditions
How should this be fixed? Simply put, a zero exit status should ONLY be returned when transcoding has completed successfully. In ALL other cases, a non-zero exit code should be returned. ...and this is exactly what HandBrakeCLI is doing. If transcoding completes successfully, it returns a zero exit...

Re: Absolutely essential feature: SWAP FIELD ORDER
I refuse your patch. What a moronic way to implement this highly questionable filter. If you want to swap field order, you should be doing it in the picture data by building a new buffer with two memcpys. As in, a video filter. Why drop two rows of data when you don't have to? I agree with you that ...

Re: Better settings don't always equal better encodes
It's pretty silly to ignore the advice of the lead developer of x264 (in the form of a plea to use the preset system he spent so long tuning and in the form of an option-by-option list describing what features do and what the best settings are for them) in favor of third-party resources, some of whi...

Re: 2D-FIR Scaling
MPEG Streamclip does not do anamorphic, but I was changing the display resolution in QT Pro after encoding. That still doesn't give enough information to reproduce what you're doing. Exactly which options do you have set in Streamclip's export window? And I don't think providing a sample of the sou...

Re: Better settings don't always equal better encodes
Have you ever looked at an encode where subq 4/5 had a higher SSIM than subq=6? I don't know; but I think that that matters. Yes, of course. In fact, with psy opts enabled, it's likely subq 4 and 5 will always produce streams with a higher SSIM than 6 (all other options being equal, same bitrate). ...

Re: reformat the test.c file
I prefer how it was too. Not a fan of the longer lines. If i'm working between several documents (say, notes, a diff, a readme, another app's source code, and libhb), implying lots of small windows, I want to be able to see full lines without them wrapping. And if I have one big window, I want the o...

Oh, one more thing...you commented about Apple having access to higher quality sources, but if I'm starting with an uncompressed 1080p Blu-ray rip, I would think that should be a pretty good source. ....but still far worse of a source than Apple has access to.

jamiemlaw, I'm very skeptical. QT's H.264 encoder isn't known to be better with anything, including grain and movement. See, for example, MSU''s 3rd video codec shootout, where they tried to include Apple's encoder: Conclusions MOSCOW, NOV 2006 • Codecs from Apple and Sorenson show average quality c...

Did I miss where you said what your device constraints actually are? The settings you are currently using are ridiculous and it is disingenu...

Re: Ipad video freezing
It's an Apple bug, will be fixed in a software update: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x ... 07713.html (thanks for the heads up, j45)
x264 is attempting to work around it in the meantime, so try a newer nightly.

It will be in the next release, but it's not like it's a huge deal either way, and it has no bearing on it being high profile or not nor on the source content. It's currently loose to play it safe with device compatibility, which we're going to trade for exactness in 0.9.5. Change it yourself if it ...

That's funny, I don't see a single mention of "SSIM" in your entire multi-page post ostensibly about "better encodes" and whether a given setting is "worthwhile."

Re: 2D-FIR Scaling
Or, you know, you could start a support thread and provide some logs of what you're doing and perhaps a source sample, so maybe we could see why you're having issues....What does "better handling of high-motion" even mean?
