How to add x265-aMod (it add aq-mode=5), please?

Post by Boris911 »

Description of problem or question:
Hi, I am new in this forum and I don't have any experience with build software. I found in StaxRip that exist modified x265-aMod encoder which add --aq-mode=5 (Adaptive quantization with auto-variance, better edge preservation, and bias to dark scenes. Only in aMod), before two months.

It is on https://github.com/DJATOM/x265-aMod.

Do you have any idea how to add it to HandBrake, please? How to combine this guide https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/dev ... ndows.html with add x265-aMod from GitHub to HnadBrake Git folder for compilate at once together (for make works -x265-params "aq-mode=5" in HandBrake), please?

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
--aq-mode=5 works on StaxRip software, but not in HandBrake. :cry:

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.5.1 (2022011200)

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 11 Pro x64 21H2

I thank you very much in advance for your answers.
With Best Regards,
Jan Vokurka

This is not something we support I'm afraid. if such improvements ever hit the x265 project, they'll make it to HandBrake.

You can build from source :-)

If you manage to build HandBrake without mods first, we can point you in the right direction as to how to swap the x265 tarball.
