DIVX HEVC Community Encoder question

[ezcapper]

I really enjoy the program DIVX HEVC Community Encoder to encode files to HEVC. However the output settings only except whole integer frame rates. Will this cause side effects to my video and/or audio if I reincode a 29.97 fps file to 30 fps or 59.94 to 60? Thanks

Will this cause side effects to my video and/or audio if I reincode a 29.97 fps file to 30 fps or 59.94 to 60?

Frame rate is mainly a flag which tells the decoder to process a specific number of frames per second, so you could simply remux the file and change the frame rate flag of the container. (depending on the format, the container and the video stream both can have fps flags)
Using a wrong frame rate can cause audio and video sync problems (unless audio is adjusted accordingly).
+ some encoders also do some internal tuning for specific frame rates (not sure if this is the case with DivX265), but that effect normally isn't that visible

You should then read it's help :P, since DivX265 does support 29.97 and 59.94fps.

        Valid frame rates:
          60 Hz
          60000/1001 Hz
          50 Hz
          30 Hz
          30000/1001 Hz
          25 Hz
          24 Hz
          24000/1001 Hz

29.97 = 30000/1001
59.94 = 60000/1001

Release Notes
DivX265 version 1.4.21

What's new:

Support for Main 10 (10 bit) in addition to Main (8 bit).
Additional 10 bit raw input formats (yuv420p10le, v210)
Improved encoding speed and efficiency
Linux version
Signalling of BT.2020

New options:
-10 --main10 Selects Main 10 (10 bit) profile
--format (yuv420p, yuv420p10le, yuv422p10le, I420, V210) Raw pixelformat
--psnr Calculation psnr metrics

It is recommended to use the 32 bit version with AviSynth.

Download executable (Windows and Linux):

DivX HEVC Encoder v1.4.21 (Windows 64 bit) - (Windows 32 bit) - (Linux 32 bit) (11-7-2014).

Usage

DivX H.265/HEVC Encoder

Usage: DivX265 -i <infile> -o <outfile> -br <bitrate> -s <w>x<h> (for raw infile)

or: DivX265 -i <infile> -o <outfile> -br <bitrate> (for .avs|.avi infile)

or: DivX265 -h (for help)

Example Usage

from a raw file (yuv/raw, assumes IYUV/I420 colorspace):

DivX265.exe -i content_in.yuv -o content_out.hevc -br 3000 -s 1280x720

Piping from stdin through another command line tool:

ffmpeg.exe -i content_in.avi -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p pipe:1 | DivX265.exe -s 1280x720 -br 4000 -i - -o content.hevc

10 bit raw input format

ffmpeg.exe -i content_in.avi -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p10le pipe:1 | DivX265.exe -s 1280x720 -br 4000 -i - -o content.hevc --format yuv420p10le [ --main10 ]

from an AVS file (make sure AVISynth is installed):

DivX265.exe -i content_in.avs - o content_out.hevc -br 3000

from an AVI file:

DivX265.exe -i content_in.avi - o content_out.hevc -br 3000
