Convert a log file to an h264 command line

[bearsfan]

Hello everyone.
I have the log file from a recently converted video (not mine), and I want to figure out the settings the user used. However, the log file doesn't say what program was used but does give all the the "encoder settings".


HERE'S SOME OF JUST THE INFO

ID : 1
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L3.1
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames
Codec ID : avc1
Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding
Duration : 2h 18mn
Bit rate : 725 Kbps
Maximum bit rate : 4 320 Kbps
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 532 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 2.40:1
Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0

Scan type : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.044
Stream size : 717 MiB (95%)
Writing library : x264 core 114 r1924 08d04a4
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-2:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=5 / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=3 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=16 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc=2pass / mbtree=0 / bitrate=725 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 / aq=2:1.00



in there, there is a line giving details as to what settings were used inside of the h264 encoder:

cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-2:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=5 / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=3 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=16 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc=2pass / mbtree=0 / bitrate=725 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 / aq=2:1.00

------------------------

I am wondering if there is a way to convert this (if you will), to an h264 command line, maybe possibly even a qP file.
Any help would be great, thanks in advanced.

sure,...

cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-2:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=5  / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 /  trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 /  chroma_qp_offset=0 / threads=3 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 /  interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=16 / b_pyramid=2 /  b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 /  keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc=2pass /  mbtree=0 / bitrate=725 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 /  qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 /  aq=2:1.00

should match up with:

x264 --pass 1 --bitrate 725 --min-keyint 23 --bframes 16 --direct auto --ratetol 1.0 --cplxblur 20.0 --qcomp 0.60 --no-mbtree --ipratio 1.40 --pbratio 1.30 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 1.00 --cqm jvt --threads 3 --deblock -2:-1 --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --output NUL - 

x264 --pass 2 --bitrate 725 --ref 5 --min-keyint 23 --bframes 16 --direct auto --ratetol 1.0 --cplxblur 20.0 --qcomp 0.60 --no-mbtree --ipratio 1.40 --pbratio 1.30 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --me umh --subme 5 --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 1.00 --cqm jvt --threads 3 --deblock -2:-1 --colormatrix undef --stats "PATH TO THE .stats FILE" --output OUTPUTFILE -

... maybe possibly even a qp file.

Nope. Don't see any info regarding the qp file there.

but does give all the the "encoder settings".

I wouldn't rely to much on these settings, they can be easily edited with a hex editor,...
(also since they don't contain any info about tools and filtering settings that were used it's really not that useful in regards of reproducing a result)
