x265 2.4/2.5 10-bit/12-bit

Post by whistlerz »

The latest x265 10-bit and 12-bit DLLs supplied for use with nightly builds are still on version 2.3 (viewtopic.php?p=169744#p169744), but the default x265 encoder included in the nightlies has been bumped to version 2.4 (per this commit on June 6th).

Any chance we can get updated version 2.4 10-bit and 12-bit DLLs? Or should we wait for 2.5, since this post indicates nightlies may be on 2.5 soon?

I don't know how appropriate or inappropriate it is since I am not familiar with the source/vetting of these DLLs, but does this help you?

We don't recommend using 3rd party dll's. You don't really know what your getting.

We will provide 2.5 dlls in the above post shortly.

The 2.5 10-bit and 12-bit DLLs were removed, I guess due to a build problem (in that, they didn't work). However, the nightly was updated to x265 2.5.

1) Is the build problem specific to the 10/12-bit DLLs? Is it possible we'll see 2.5 DLLs reposted, or will the problem not be corrected until 2.6?
2) Is x265 safe to use in the current nightly builds, seeing that they are on 2.5?
3) Should we continue to use the 2.3 DLLs with the current nightlies until new DLLs are posted?

(Thanks for the work, BTW, it is very much appreciated.)

1. Not yet decided. It may be we wait til 2.6
2. Yes. It's safe to use.
3. We don't support it but if it works for you, great. If it doesn't then your on your own with it.
