Thanks for fixing.
Few small things.
Configuration Apply arrow - Why need to click that twice?
· Start Hybrid
· Open Video file
· X264>Base>Configuration>choosing, applying “H264 Hybrid Default” (For some reason need to click Configuration Apply arrow twice in order to stop data changing in the Command Line window. After second click it was changed).
Should I click once or need to click twice?
· X264>Frames>Max Number of Reference Frames – setting slider to 5 (Or using Slow Preset)
If Ref Frames set to 3, Command Line shows: ref 3
If Ref Frames set to 4, Command Line shows: ref 4
If Ref Frames set to 5, Command Line does not show ref xx anymore, why?
Finally I understood what actually Preset “Medium” means and does. Medium (or other preset names) acts as a preset/configuration and sets/hold other x264 parameters, such Frames parameters - Number of Reference Frames and etc.
My stupid. That was my confusion, I was trying to set Frame parameters manually and on top applying Preset. They were just fighting to each other which parameters to apply.
Just an idea, that Preset and Tune should be as separate “Presets” Section/Box, not included in to Restrictions Section.
Since Preset is not a Restriction, just a set of settings that can be freely changed/adjusted inside Restrictions boundaries.
Logically, from the user point of view thinking, you first apply Restrictions, after General settings, and now apply Preset, if you want to play with different presets. If not, leave that separate Presets Section alone and set everything manually.
In Restriction section you change restrictions, Preset is there – OK, changing preset as well, after you go to other X264 settings and basically override Preset without even knowing.
Most likely other users did not to have that problem J
OK, I will use presets and not mess around with manual settings.
If encoding timing is not a big issue for me, what preset is recommended for VHS, DV avi captures form camcorders?
Looks like Slower, since it sets the highest allowed number of Reference Frames, sets Quantization Trellis to always, they are helpful to get higher encoding quality.
