libx265 params error

[Hossein Enr7que]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to encode my video file using libx265 with the following parameters: -crf 18 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -maxrate 3M -bufsize 6M -qmax 69 -subq 7 -me_method umh -me_range 57 -rc-lookahead 24 -bf 16 -refs 5.

However, when I check the output, I see that the 'me' value is 1 (Diamond) instead of the expected 'umh', and the 'subme' value is 2 instead of 7. The 'rc-lookahead' value is also 20 instead of 24. Additionally, it seems like the 'maxrate' parameter isn't limiting the bitrate to 3M as intended.

These settings work well with libx264, but not with libx265. Can you please tell me what changes I need to make? Thank you in advance.

I believe -me_method only works for x264 and xvid. For libx265 you probably need to use -x265_params and the x265 me=umh and subme=7

-x265-params me=umh:subme=7

Thank you so much. It works
