    Any suggestions what options to use? So encoding won't take forever but delivers HQ though...

    Since I haven't tried this, are AviSynth scripts allowed as input?

    3. USING THE ENCODER

    You can run the encoder from a Windows Command Prompt. We suggest that you create a batch file containing the commands you wish to run. For example;

    C:\x265>x265 --input BasketballDrive_1920x1080_50.yuv --width 1920 --height 1080 --rate 50 -o encoder.out --csv results.csv --rect --max-merge 1 --hash 1 --wpp --no-rdo --gops 4 --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 2 --no-tskip

    The encoder accepts YUV or Y4M files as input. Picture size and frame rate are automatically detected for Y4M files, but must be specified in the command-line when encoding YUV files.

    A. Suggested Options:
    --max-merge=1 --no-tskip --tu-inter-depth=2 --tu-intra-depth=1 –wpp
    These options give a reasonable performance improvement for very little compression loss.
    --amp, --rect, and –sao default to being disabled. If enabled, each will give a slight compression improvement and a performance cost. Enabling SAO is often a good trade-off.

    Applies ONLY to that infamous MSVC build , a.f.a.i.k.

    This GCC build should use ANY cpu-optimization(s) available on the host machine.
    It works even on my sloooooooooooooooow Pentium-4
    (which certainly does not run Windows 7 or 8)

    For muxing the elementary HEVC streams into AVI files, please read:

    http://optavisse.com/2013/07/11/hevc-in-avi-why-not/

    ( for changing the framerate, I recommend avifrate.exe instead of VirtualDub )

    And then, you can use MKVtoolnix for remuxing the AVI to MKV

    ( mkvmerge has no problem with the VfW-compatibility mode )

    i started to post this half hour ago but got inandated with all this. anyway. i'll post what i was going to post w/ some updates to it so far.

    no avisynth script support at this time.

    1. you have to build raw .yuv or .y4m files first:
    ffmpeg -i video.avs -an -pix_fmt yuv420p -f rawvideo -y video.yuv
    ffmpeg -i video.avs -an -pix_fmt yuv420p -f yuv4mpegpipe -y video.y4m

    2. x265 encode them to raw .265 file:
    x265.exe --q 20 --width 720 --height 480 --rate 29.970 --frame-skip 0 --frames ALL --input "video.yuv" --rect --max-merge 1 --hash 1 --wpp --no-rdo --gops 4 --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 2 --no-tskip --output "video.h265"

    3. play them, if possible, though i haven't figured out how, yet..since nothing is playing them, kmplayer ffplay mplayer wmp vlc graphedit graphstudio, and so on.

    4. or, you can mux them with the divx special modified mkvtoolnic (mkvmerge) app, then play them in the divx v9.1.2 player, i think, or nothing else will play them, yet.
    mkvmerge --default-duration 0:30fps video.h265 -o video.mkv

    suggestion.. to get started and acclimated, go small. iow, if you are going to trial/test this build, (because its slow) use a smaller size dimension like 720x480 and 30 sec length frames, at least until you get the idea of how long it takes to encode on your rig, then use a more optimum or prefered video length to encode as you test it out.

    it seems the only way to view the encodes is to download the divx player v9.1.2 since nothing else will play them, so far.

    i managed to get a graphstudio working.. do the following:

    1. open graphstudio
    2. menu\graph\insert filter
    3. search "directshow filter" for: Lentoid HEVC Source, Lentoid HEVC Decoder and a Video Renderer
    4. connect them, and play (enter key or green triangle)

    **1, for the Lentoid Source filter, enter your source video filename ie., video.h265
    **2, substitute your video.h265 with your video filename.

    to encode with audio = no,

    to mux with audio = yes,

    please read post #7 again.

    I guess this means that Virtualdub's external encoder feature cannot be used either? I can't get it to accept an input file. I thought it was a colorspace issue but after converting to IYUV I got "unable to open input file <->


    I found an ffmpeg build with x265 encoder and decoder but it's a year old. Hoping a new x265 build is released soon since ffmpeg can be used by Virtualdub's external encoder.


    I was able to get x265 ffmpeg to encode a .265 file but I can't get anything to play it. Graphstudio won't open it. What file extension is the raw 265 file supposed to have? I've seen numorous file extensions. .hevc, .hev, .265, .h265, .hm10.

  13. @ EI Heggunte
    To whom this may interest , and finally ,
    Thanks for the compiled binary. At least those who have a capable system can try. Before I dream, I have to undergo massive hardware, OS, and series of updates.

    Before I start calculating budget for system upgrades, I need to make arrangements for female Hare (jackrabbit) and her newborn beautiful babies arrived in backyard today morning to provide them safe and secured natural like underground built home to protect them from stray cats. Plus plenty of foods. So they can live safe & sound, and mess around my beautiful back yard as long as they want. At least my bunny got new friends to take care of. I wish, I can train my german shepherd to welcome, to get along and to guard our new guests. At this moment only my bunny can touch and pull the tail, nobody else can dare even. The female Hare is smart enough to land in (Lion's Den) right back yard. or who knows? may be HE was & HE is right, as always!
    later amendment
    Real fun starts now:
    I just checked upon our new guest, female hare (mom) and babies are sleeping sound in the safe place for the dog. The wise dog (?) got a new job to stay out & awake to gurd them. and Here I AM searching information about new guest's foods, care, likes and dislikes. Hope, by tomorrow I will be a half veterinarian. I luv The Great Creator - The Absolute Maker absolutely. What a Great Guy HE is!

    Apparently it cannot The "unable to open input file <->" error message means x265 cannot deal with stdin --- and I think VirtualDub's "intermediary" output is not an actual video file, but a "frameserved stream" or something similar, therefore that error message seems to make some sense

    MAYBE the MSVC build of x265 supports stdin, however I have already deleted the pesky binary ,
    yes, I could at least try to run it on my not-so-powerful Windows 7 machine,
    BUT I don't want to back peskyware,
    especially when it is "released" by a one-post TROLL ,

    From what I've read, the ancient implementations of the HEVC encoder are not compatible with the recent bitstream format. According to the page I mentioned in the post #7, the FourCC accepted by the Lentoid decoder is "hm10", BUT the HEVC source filter doesn't care about the extension of the "raw" file, as long it is "HM10-compliant"

    would you mind trying to convince Lord_Mulder to "hack" stdin support into the current x265 source-code?

  18. Just pulling back from bunny babies and getting back to real business. At this moment of replying neither FLV (Adobe) or AVI supports h265/HEVC. As per the last news I heard from my buddies, Rovi Corp / DiVX was seriously working with MKV or TS (?) container to handle H265/HEVC. I am not aware of latest development in this regards.

    Those who are interested can check-out Rovi Corp or DiVX website for latest development or news.
    As I told you, I am way off, my present latest system can not handle full spec HEVC properly.

    I see no problem with the containers.
    mkv/avi/ts/mp4 (probably more) are all be capable to handle HEVC content. The problem is the splitter and muxer that don't support it atm. .

    Here it goes, yet another sample encode:

    Code:
    x265 --me 1 --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 --keyint 24 --qp 24 -o Path-To\output.hm10 Path-To\input.y4m

    Hello all

    @El Heggunte I have a problem, VirtualDub will not open .avi but open video.hm10 to do something special?




    Only register Strongene_Lentoid_HEVC_Decoder_v2.0.1.11_2013_07_2 4

    Code:
    regsvr32 "%~dp0hevcdecfltr.dll"
    regsvr32 "%~dp0hevcsrc.dll"
    Thank you for your Binary and help

    Forgive my poor English.

    I downloaded ffmpeg-patched.rar with a x265 folder dated 5-30-2013. What do I need to do to turn this unrared ffmpeg folder (with a bunch of other files and folders) into an ffmpeg.exe file?

    You're welcome =^.^=

    Two possibilities:

    1) you can use the DirectShow input driver for VirtualDub, or
    2) use an Avisynth script containing DirectShowSource() or DSS2(), see the example picture below:

    https://forum.videohelp.com/attachments/18905-1374099208/in-VirtualDub.png

    @ DarrellS:

    Here is the URL to a guide written by Chikuzen,

    http://csbarn.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-compile-ffmpegx264-for-windows.html

    and I hope it's not outdated Another (and IMO better) option would be convince Steve Borho to make x265 stdin-aware --- BTW I wrote his e-mail address some posts above

    Ooops, only now I've noticed, Chikuzen did change the content of that page, but didn't change its title

    But if you don't mind replacing ffmpeg with libav/avconv, then I think it'll be OK ( or at least I hope so )

    I found this guide on FFMPEG...

    https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/MingwCompilationGuide

    I'm in the process of installing. I've installed MinGW (I guess it installed correctly but it doesn't have "MinGW Shell" listed in programs like the instructions says). I'm in the process of installing msysGit (netinstall) and the cmd promp stopped at...

    Darrell@HOME-BCBxxxxxxx /git <master>
    $ _

    ...and I don't know what to do next.

    I keep seeing avconv at the beginning of command lines but don't know where or how to get and use. I'm not a computer programmer so I don't know about any of this. I wish I could just find builds that were already made so I could try them in Virtualdub without having to do all this extra stuff.

    If the x265 encoder accepted stdin it would be perfect since I could just use that with the commands that you guys have already tried with success. The other option is a special build of ffmpeg with the x265 encoder built in. I guess ffmpeg is waiting for the final release before implimenting it in a build. I'll try the email link and see if Steve Borho will make x265 stdin aware.



    EDIT: Where do I put yasm.exe? It says install it in /usr/local/bin or in /bin but I have no idea what that means.

    EDIT: I put yasm.exe in the C:\MinGW\bin folder. downloaded SDL and extracted the folder but don't have a clue what to do with it.

    Well, me neither iz a programmor No, actually I was a programmer (sort of), sometime before 1987 , and the knowledge that I had in those days is mostly useless now

    Anyway, I think you actually don't have to "install" anything, just grab one of the "full packages" from Xhmikosr's page,

    http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/tools/

    They already include MSYS and the latest yasm , and as for git, well, I simply unzipped its bloated installer, and copied only the essential files to the MSYS "root folder":

    Important: to make things easier (or less difficult), include the root folder of your MSYS+MinGW setup in the PATH environment-variable Also, don't forget to edit the damn etc\fstab file according to your needs/preferences --- just as an example, mine says this:

    Code:

    #
