Crashing on h264 Encoding

[gabster]

Hi All -

This used to work in earlier versions. I used to have a global (created in 2018) which if loaded would preserve my h264 settings. Seems like now it's not anymore (General and B-Frame settings in the h264 Frame tab aren't loaded from the global):



But even after I manually set those and try to encode a h264 clip from a DNxHD file it crashes:



- Using version 2020.02.19.1
- Error said in the Jobs window:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
-> 12_29_02_7610_07_muxing crashed: ERROR: G:\STOCKSY\mfive\cityatnight\h264\3117800.mov was not created!
Aborting '12_29_02_7610_07_muxing' due to: ERROR: G:\STOCKSY\mfive\cityatnight\h264\3117800.mov was not created!

Error report attached.

Thank you!
Gabi

I used to have a global (created in 2018) which if loaded would preserve my h264 settings.

No way to reproduce this, without the global profiles.
-> zip the profile and share it with me and I can look into it.

Regarding your crash:
What happens if you call:

"C:/PROGRA~1/Hybrid\64bit\ffmbc.exe" -y  -r 24000/1001 -i "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\CITYAT~1\h264\12_29_02_7610_02.mkv" -vcodec copy -map 0:0 -metadata encoding_tool="Hybrid 2020.02.19.1"  -aspect 177778:100000 -r 24000/1001 -f mov "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\cityatnight\h264\3117800.mov"

inside a Windows Command prompt?

Calling that line, I get:

FFmbc version N-32104-ga751c9271a

Option framerate not found.

I attached the global.

Thanks a lot!

Option framerate not found.

Okay, that confuses me since:

"C:/PROGRA~1/Hybrid\64bit\ffmbc.exe" -y  -r 24000/1001 -i "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\CITYAT~1\h264\12_29_02_7610_02.mkv" -vcodec copy -map 0:0 -metadata encoding_tool="Hybrid 2020.02.19.1"  -aspect 177778:100000 -r 24000/1001 -f mov "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\cityatnight\h264\3117800.mov"

does not contains 'framerate' :/
Seems like something changed with ffmbc, since I haven't changed the muxing calls for ages,...
Does:
[code]"C:/PROGRA~1/Hybrid\64bit\ffmbc.exe" -y -r 24000/1001 -i "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\CITYAT~1\h264\12_29_02_7610_02.mkv" -vcodec copy -vf setpts -map 0:0 -metadata encoding_tool="Hybrid 2020.02.19.1" -aspect 177778:100000 -r 24000/1001 -f mov "G:\STOCKSY\mfive\cityatnight\h264\3117800.mov"
work?

Ps.: Will look at the global profile.

Strange, can't reproduce your problem.
What I tried:

1. copy 'stocksy_global_3-22-2018.xml into my 'profiles/globales'-folder
   
2. start Hybrid
   
3. got to 'Config->Profiles->Global profiles' select 'stocksy_global_3-22-2018'
   
4. press  'Config->Profiles->Global profiles->Apply global profile
   
5. switch to the 'x264->Frame'-tab
   

-> x264 settings were properly imported :/

Ps.: I can reproduce the ffmbc crash. I'm looking into it. Depending on your needs disabling 'Config->Output->Container Settings->FFmbc for .mov muxing' might help.

[Selur]

Okay, found the cause of the problem.
ffmbc changed, that it does not accept the '-r'-parameter for the input. (works fine in ffmpeg and worked fine the last 10 years)
-> I'll adjust Hybrids code accordingly and will send you a link to a dev version for testing in ~ 1/2 hour.
