Afternoon x264 (h.264) fans
K, here's the scoop.. Using the command line version of x264.exe cli..
Is there any way to incorporate the *same* param setups used in the virualDub
default pop-up of it's "x264 encode setup screen" that it uses to encode pseudo
x246 avi's, though they seem to not be True or Complete x264 ??
The closest I found.., via searching around on my HDD, and finding this shortcut file,
x264 configuration vfw, and then right-clicking it to open it's Properties,
and in the one of the fields has a lable,
Target: [C:\windows\rundll32.exe x264vfw.dll,Configure ]
..there is this "Configuration" file (no ext following it) and I don't know where it is.
I'm guessing that the x264 configuration vfw (a separate .exe app) is calling *indirectly*
and is using the param settings from there.
Theory..
It could quite possibly be that *only* the vdub psuedo method works with this
Configuration file![]()
Anyway.
I would like to use those settings in the *real* x264.exe command line tool instead, and
refine the video attributes accordingly. fwiw, I'm using a batch file to incororate the
long (though necessary) parameters. I'm currently working on a gui front-end to this,
and I would like to have it default to the same param setup. It seems that when using
the vdub route, the param settings are remembered in the next project. So, this tells
me that vdub is saving a "configuration" file (the one above, perhaps) and I want to
continue using that one, if possible.
(sorry for the cryptic title, I couldn't think of the best way to word it)
Thank you all for your support,

VfW stores the settings in the registry, not a config file. You could export them though. Not sure why you would want the VfW's defaults though. The cli version has its own defaults anyway.
rundll32.exe x264vfw.dll,Configure is the same as opening the config in VDub or whatever.
There are already plenty of GUI's available. Some have taken their basic design from the VfW GUI to. -
]VfW stores the settings in the registry, not a config file.
However, it is confusing, because, as i've posted above (again, here)
Target: [C:\windows\rundll32.exe x264vfw.dll,Configure ]
..seems to include this mysterious Configure.

hobby and stuff.
Thanks for the interest, though.

Configure is the entry point. Have a look at DriverProc.def in the source. There is no configure file.
Speaking of source, if you also look at config.c you can get the registry names and default values.
i.e.
Code:{ "bitrate", ®.bitrate, 800 },
