[HEVC] x265.EXE: mingw builds

[Fllear]

Can anyone help? How many do not try MPC did not want to show mp4 or mkv. Just then all the writing in the subject that look normal. But it does not say who does not like set up.

MulicoreWare better get their asses in gear. DivX HEVC now has command line encoder and HEVC mkvmerge to mux the files. This encoder accepts Raw input, AVS input, AVI input and Piping from stdin.Works great in Virtualdub with the external encoder.

Not as fast as x265.exe but encodes at 6fps on my machine. You need the DivX player to play the MKV files.

High and many thanks for your help, DarrellS . This is exactly what I want, vdub's easy and powerful External Encoder. I will try it now.

Again, I give my good thanks to you.



Sorry to ask, what is -br 4000? Is that bitrate? Does it have a quality function like x264's crf?

Fllear

Try DivX player.


Edit 1
Thanks, poisondeathray, for the fast reply.

Yes, bitrate

Does it have a quality function like x264's crf?

No


-h will list the options available

First of all, the HEVC Encoder should not be on that list Secondly, set the merit of the MP4 Demultiplexor and of the Monogram FLV Splitter to something *** greater than 00800004 ***, unless you have already reduced the merit of LAV Splitter to something less than 00800000 --- in this case, then, you can set the merit of the Strongene filters to "Preferred".

NOTICE: so far, LAV Splitter does not support the MKVs generated by/for the DivX software, only the MKVs that use the VfW-compatible mode. And it seems that the proper HEVC support will be implemented only "sometime before next Christmas"

.......

we are just in the process of finishing the HEVC-in-Matroska specs. Note that Rovi's build may NOT be using the final method we will agree upon, though they've been eager to adopt their build to match the latest proposal. I will not release a MKVToolNix build with HEVC support before those specs have been finalized and agreed upon. Therefore my guess (really a guess, not even an estimate) would be "no earlier than in eight weeks".

Thank you. But not running. Possible conflicts with windows 8.1
By the way 10-bit profile is already available or not yet? How to use it?
And applying a GUI for the MKV package for DIVXPlayer

First, for the dll error, I believe you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable to fix the error

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328

Second, I forgot to edit the post with the instructions in this thread. I fixed it in the other threads.


The muxing process fails with the normal mkvmerge command because the Rovi build does not use the "--default-duration 0:%(fpsnum)/%(fpsden)fps" command but uses the actual frame rate (24000/1001 for example) or remove the muxer from your encoder set and manually mux the files using the Rovi mkvmerge. You'll need to place a copy of mmg.exe (the gui) from mkvtoolnix 6.2.0 into the Rovi MKVToolNix 6.2.0 folder since it does not come with the gui and place a shortcut on your desktop.


I'll edit the instructions in the original thread so other do not make this mistake.

El Heggunte Tell me how you packed in ASF?

After more investigation, I have found following on my XP SP2 system (core2 quad q6600):
1. Encoding to flv with GraphStudio, using Lentoid HEVC encoder, and Monogram FLV Mux.
All encodes are successful, and play in media player classic and windows media player. Right click on the Monogram FLV Mux box-Properties, gives a dialog box, which shows progress of encoding (progress bar shows completion long before actual completion)
2. Encoding with h265.exe
Get four types of encodes
a. does not load in Graph Studio at all
b. loads in GS but produces a black screen in activemovie window
c. loads in GS and plays, but gets stuck after some time
d. loads and plays correctly in GS
Only the d type can produce a properly playable flv fie in GS.
On the other hand, all 4 types can be muxed with mp4box, and played properly with Osmo player. Only the d type above when converted to mp4 plays properly in GS using Strongene mp4 demultiplexer.

All mp4 files using h264 videos play smoothly with strongene mp4 demultiplexer in GS, If I disable mp4 in Haali Splitter, have no problems in playing mp4s with h264 in windows media player.

Seems to me that Lentoid HEVC decoder may not be decoding all encodes with x265.exe correctly

Of course, as suggested by El-Heggunte,
problem could be because I do not have XP SP3

Only workaround for me seems to be to use GS for encoding to HEVC flvs, and use x265 for encoding to mp4. I prefer the latter route at the moment as the default doesn't tie up enough of cpu resources to prevent surfing on the internet

[vhelp]

when i do test x265.exe, i always use the .hm10 extention. it seems to work best with the video decoding. and, it seems that most of the random successes of playback has to do with the muxer utilities, the decoders have a rough time working this file to proper playback. so, i leave muxing out of the equation and video always plays w/out problems. i would mainly use gs or mpc-be for the playback test when not using my own custom built gui which include built-in playback, video only, though not yet complete, and probably won't be until a proxy or frameserve/studin is added to the x265 encoder. i have the player built-in, so playback is transparent after encode.

however, i stopped most of my playing around with x265.exe because without any proxy/frameserving support, the whole process becomes too laborous to bother and sooner or later one looses their mojo or interest. plus, i think that creating temporary files is best left for other special media preporation or lossless video restoration work and such, not repetitive testing of encoders. unfortunately, i just keep reusing the same 122 frame .y4m video in all tests. so x265 doesn't get the full testing it might deserve. but i'm waiting (or hoping) for some other h265 encoder (except divx, i won't be using theirs) comes out, so i can leave x265 since there main concern is with their sponsers anyway. i have no plans on purchasing x265 when it does flow down that path, hint..hint.

I have been using Full HD stuff from Youtube not longer than 5 minutes.
my basic x265 line is

x265 --q 28 --cbqpoffs 4 --crqpoffs 4 --max-merge=1 --no-tskip --tu-inter-depth=2 --tu-intra-depth=1 --wpp --no-rdo --no-rdoq --no-rect --input "E:\ffmpeg\bin\video.y4m" -o "video.hm10"

This gives me a PSNR of 41+ and PSNR Y, U, and V almost equal.
With Youtube HD videos I end up with an average file size including audio around 70 % of the Youtube size. x265 encoding at FullHD is 0.65 to 0.7 fps.

El Heggunte Tell me how you packed in ASF?

Graphstudio + MPC Matroska Muxer + File Writer, then MKVmerge, => MKV file ; later,

MKV File --> { Graphstudio + SolveigMM ASF Multiplexer } --> ASF File

NOTICE: Windows Media Player was designed to NOT use DirectShow decoders with ASF files, the stupid application will "give up" when it doesn't find any suitable DMO filter or VfW/ACM decompressor.

Can you show in the screenshots that you do and how.
The first time I opened the program Graphstudio. Not once did not use it. Therefore, it is not clear to me.

Well, with 1-click-encode it is not that complicated, but sure temporary y4m files are troublesome, if you are testing on long encodes like me.
-
got a question about the divx encoder, is there any workaround to get their streams working without divx player? Ive been trying, but my muxed files/ raw streams will not show video ( lentoid is not compatible with hevc encoded by divx or what? ).
Im not talking about their hevc-in-mkv, but about hevc stream decoding.

@Fllear
You can have a look at that, i mkvmerge'd what i earlier muxed with 'avi mux' back then i think ( both mpc-hc mkv muxer and avi mux, which does work if you don;t use bframes you will find under graph->insert filter ). You have to register the asf muxer with the .bat file earlier if it doesn't appear.
notes:
you can drag&drop the source mkv on graphstudio exe
ignore the audio pin in the pictures
you might need to disable 'playready' and 'source is h264' options in properties window of asf muxer ( right click )


I wasn't able to get audio working though.

[El Heggunte]

Jacobr, it seems the SolveigMM ASF Muxer does not understand AAC
If you use MP3, AC3, or (probably) any constant-bitrate audio format, then certainly the ASF Muxer will accept that as a valid audio input.

[Jacobr]

^ ah, i was too tired to try and use mp3 or ac3 (well, tried some on-the-fly but didnt work). Now that i reencoded normally to ac3, it is workinh perfectly. Thx
What about the divx hevc, only their player will play that?

[DarrellS]

I would assume that when Bunkis releases MKVToolNix (maybe around Christmas) with hevc support that MPC-HC will decode the videos but that is just an assumption. I believe everyone is waiting for a finished product that follows the official specs before implementing hevc support.

[vhelp]

regarding 98f0f7dde384-Vid01 build.

edit: ok, it is in fact a decoder issue.

regarding the playback issues i was having (i removed that response from this post) a while ago. it was related to the decoder. strongene lentoid and divx player can't decode some videos well or at all..especially cartoons, or, my encoded cartoons.

so, long story short, i used the following to 'mux' (w/out audio) the video into an .mp4 container that the Osmo4 player (it has build-in decoders) and the troubled .hm10 video played perfectly.

mp4box -add "g:\video3.hm10":FMT=HEVC -fps 23.976 -new "g:\video3.mp4"

i guess we still have to wait until an official muxer / decoder for popular containers comes out.

That smells to me like -wpp problem once again. I encoded multiple anime episodes ( while not exactly cartoon, still quite similar ) and had same issues with crash/stall or artifacts, but only with wpp on. Osmo though, will surely play nicely with these wpp wncodes as they work on my end in that player too ( and only there ).

Not-So-Recent news:

-- Dark Shikari (Jason Garrett-Glaser) has joined the x265 mailing list


-- on September 19, Rafaël Carré said he "will set up a continuous buildbot for x265 soon"

-- I was bored (again), and so I compiled commit 4b794e2.

[vhelp]

did something change in this build ? nothing (param string commands) is encoding for me.

edit: nevermind..i index all the builds i use, 1x265, 2x265, ... 16x265, ...

i had a dot "." instead of an x...duah.

[vhelp]

commit 4b794e2 doesn't accept ---no-rdo anymore. i guess some commands have been taken out. i.e., --no-rdoq is not listed in x265 internal help file, yet it accepts it instead of issueing no longer used, like the --no-rdo. so, i can't tell if other commands are ok or not to add. that's not good, the -h is no longer reliable or hasn't been from the start.

[El Heggunte]

These are the parameters that I managed to use on my "standard short sample" before uploading the damn binary:

--me 1 --no-wpp --fast-cbf --hash 0 --max-merge 1 --no-tskip --tu-inter-depth 2 --tu-intra-depth 1 --merange 32 --keyint 12 --qp 22 --bframes 2 --b-adapt 0 --rc-lookahead 5

Formerly, they were:

--me 1 --no-wpp --no-lft --no-sao --fast-cbf --no-weightp --no-weightbp --hash 0 --max-merge 1 --no-tskip --tu-inter-depth 2 --tu-intra-depth 1 --no-rdo --no-rdoq --merange 32 --keyint 12 --qp 22

[vhelp]

so you figured out some don't work anymore, too.

[x265]

There are many changes and improvements that were made in the past few weeks. A new guide will be posted in a minute or two... https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/downloads

[vhelp]

ty. it would be nice if that info were included in each build if not internal so we don't spend time figuring out ourselves. ty.

[DarrellS]

Encoding with no-wpp is just too slow so my work around to get a working file is to use mkvmerge from the rovi build and mux to divx and use the DivX player to play the files (could just use .mkv but MPC-HC is default player for mkv and file won't play in MPC-HC).


I used the recommended settings in the PDF with my working argument for around 8 fps on a 1024x576 24p file...

x265 --frames all --q 24 --keyint 40 --max-merge 3 --hash 1 --no-rect --wpp --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 1 --no-tskip --frame-threads 4 --input "input.y4m"  --output "output.hevc" & mkvmerge.exe --default-duration 0:24fps "output.hevc" -o "output.divx"

For audio, use...

mkvmerge --default-duration 0:24fps --aac-is-sbr 0:1 "output.hevc" input.aac -o "output.divx"

[El Heggunte]

At last, a MSVC build that doesn't crash on Windows XP

Goto post #1 (again) and look for the commit a8f6f62, compiled by the evil Evil EVIL Kurtnoise

It's safe to use it though --- unless you happen to hate him even more than I do
