X264.exe and AviSynth?

[Eva-Unit01]

I was wondering, since it's inconvinient to continually Demux the avi footage from files encoded to mkv with x264 in Staxrip, is it possible to use AviSynth and virtuadubmod to manually encode videos with the updated X264 cli and save to an avi? If so, is there a guide on the avisynth wiki explaining all the commands to manipulate the speed (i.e. placebo, very slow etc.) and quality (baseline, high) for x264?

You don't have to demux anything. Just make your own scripts and use a front end that doesn't demux (e.g megui, or lord mulder's simple GUI) or even the CLI to encode. It's much faster if you do this, it doesn't waste time analyzing or demuxing etc...

New versions of x264 don't even need avisynth scripts (you may still need some avisynth plugins) , they can encode directly from the source without any other programs

Dig through the history in the mediawiki for the preset explanations (they had been removed)

You can't use vdubmod with x264 CLI without frameserving. You don't want to use AVI container with x264 , because of possible incompatibilites with b-frames, playback issues. x264 doesn't support AVI officially anyway, it only has support for .mp4, .mkv, .flv natively without other programs

What GUI's do you speak of?

[poisondeathray]

None of the GUI's do this yet without avisynth that I am aware of (although they might be updated soon), only x264.exe does.

then how do you use x264.exe to do so.

I'm not sure what you're asking?

You type the commands in

You need a version that has been compiled with LAVF/FFMS
