x264 keeps crashing

[MR 3]

I've been using an earlier version of MEGUI (build 0.3.0.1017 i think) without any problems.

Today, I let the automatic update for MEGUI do it's thing (it updated something like 38 files, x264 was one of the files that was updated), and low and behold now x264 keeps crashing on it's second pass. It crashes pretty much once it starts the second pass, maybe like 3-4 seconds in.


AVS Script:

# Set DAR in encoder to 47 : 20. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 47
global MeGUI_dary = 20
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgavcindex\DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("E:\Storage\Ripped movies\MeGUI\U-571.dga")
#deinterlace
crop( 0, 2, 0, 0)

LanczosResize(1280,544) # Lanczos (Sharp)
#denoise

TRIM (35000,35250)


I've set the AVS Script in this fashion MANY times without any problems.


This is a snapshot of what my previous x264 configuration looks like:








This is what the new x264 config looks like:

what does the error message say?

are you using the new patched builds?

some people with amd cpu's have issues with certain x264 builds that use a different compiler and optimized for core2. Replace the x264.exe with another from x264.nl or http://komisar.gin.by/

error message says "a problem has ocurred with x264 and windows has to close the program"

My cpu AMD Athlon 2800+

And will that version of x264 be compatible with MEGUI version 0.3.2.0?

[poisondeathray]

Yes.

This one should work for AMD

Do a test on a short clip to make sure. It might be something else in your configuration

It worked! Thank you sooooo much! I've been trying to figure this out all day!
