Saving Configuration for all settings

[Rokoko33]

Selur, I appreciate your efforts trying to resolve the issue I have.
Still problems with Max GOP value setting.
 
This is what I did:
Uninstalled Hybrid, cleaned registry, Installed Hybrid.
Showing step by step:

•  Start Hybrid
  

• x264->Base->General Settings-> changing Bitrate from 1500kbps (default value) to 22500kbps (now the restriction to '1-sec gop' is OK to be set).
  

• Enable '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware'
  

• Select '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD'
  

 
Command line now is:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 25 --b-pyramid strict --direct auto --b-adapt 0 --sync-lookahead 12 --qcomp 0.50 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --aq-mode 0 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 2 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --ref 3 --keyint 25 --b-pyramid strict --direct auto --b-adapt 0 --sync-lookahead 12 --qcomp 0.50 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --partitions i4x4,p8x8,b8x8 --no-fast-pskip --mvrange 511 --subme 5 --aq-mode 0 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 

• x264->Frames-> General Frame Settings->GOP size min/max, Max value = 25, does not allow to change to any value above 25.
  

 
I thought the the sequence is the key, a problem happens when the bitrate is set before setting  x264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD, it still keeps the default bitrate values (1500kps in this case, even the Command Line shows: bitrate 22500) and does not allow to set the restriction to '1-sec gop.
 
I changed the sequence, set Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD' first, before changing the bitrate, it worked correctly:

• Start Hybrid
  

• Enable '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware'
  

• Select '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD'
  

 
It already changes from keyint 25 to keyint 50:
Command Line:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --direct auto --b-adapt 0 --sync-lookahead 1 --qcomp 0.50 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --aq-mode 0 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 2 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --ref 3 --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --direct auto --b-adapt 0 --sync-lookahead 1 --qcomp 0.50 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --partitions i4x4,p8x8,b8x8 --no-fast-pskip --mvrange 511 --subme 5 --aq-mode 0 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 
Now I can change Max GOP value, actually under x264->Frames-> General Frame Settings->GOP size max is already set/shows 50. 
 
Next step:

• Enable 'x264->Base->Restriction Settings->Preset' to 'medium'
  

• Apply the preset ('x264->Base->Restriction Settings->Preset->Apply Preset')
  

 
 
Command Line:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 1 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 1 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --weightp 1 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 
As you can see, applying Medium changed the Bitrate to default value 1500kbps.
 

• x264->Frames-> General Frame Settings-> just checking GOP size, Max value remains the same 50. But again, the bitrate is changed to 1500kbps. From 22500 set before.
  

 
Going back to:

• x264->Base->General Settings-> changing Bitrate from 1500kbps to 22500kbps
  

 
Command Line, now is OK:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 1 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 1 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --weightp 1 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE –
 
Now is OK.
It tells again that all x264->Base->Restriction Settings have to be set first (including Medium), before General settings, before going in to X264>Frames and etc.
 
Checking this idea:

• Start Hybrid
  

• Enable '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware'
  

• Select '264->Base->Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD'
  

• Enable 'x264->Base->Restriction Settings->Preset' to 'medium'
  

• Apply the preset ('x264->Base->Restriction Settings->Preset->Apply Preset')
  

 
Command Line:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 1500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --weightp 1 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 

• x264->Base->General Settings-> changing Bitrate from 1500kbps to 22500kbps
  

• x264->Frames-> General Frame Settings-> just checking GOP size, Max value remains the same 50. All good.
  

 
Command Line now is correct:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --rc-lookahead 40 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 50 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --weightp 1 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 

• Save a Global Profile (Config->Profiles->Global profile->Save global profile)
  

• Closed Hybrid
  

• Started Hybrid
  

• Apply the Global Profile (Config->Profiles->Global profile->Aplly global profile)
  

 
 
Command Line now is:
x264 --preset veryfast --pass 1 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 25 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --rc-lookahead 25 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output NUL -
 
x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 22500 --profile high --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --keyint 25 --b-pyramid strict --sync-lookahead 12 --rc-lookahead 25 --slices 4 --qpmax 51 --mvrange 511 --weightp 1 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --nal-hrd cbr --sar 1:1 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --non-deterministic --range tv --colormatrix bt470bg --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --demuxer raw --input-res 48x48 --input-csp i420 --input-range tv --input-depth 8 --fps 25/1 --output-depth 8 --output OUTPUTFILE -
 
 
Now is the problem:

• x264->Frames-> General Frame Settings-> just checking GOP size, Max value is changed back to 25, cant be changed, Command Line shows accordingly.
  

The Command Line shows that Medium is applied:
x264 --pass 2
 
But anyway applying Medium again. It does not change the Command Line, it also does not allow to change up Max GOP from 25.
 
 
This is what I learned:
All x264->Base->Restriction Settings have to be set first (including Medium), before General settings, before going in to X264>Frames and etc.
 
But it still does not allow to properly save/store Global Profile.
After restarting Hybrid values are changed.
That problem still there.
