Encoding x264 file from .avs file using .bat file

[Dr.Who]

I tried this with the following code:

x264.exe Video.avs --crf 20 --tune film --preset veryslow --output "Encode.mp4

But still

[Selur]

wild guesses:

a. x264 is providing an error message which indicates what the problem is
-> post the output of x264 for that call


b. the avisynth script is broken in one or the other way
-> post the content of the avs file you use

[jagabo]

The command looks like it should work. There's probably something in the AVS script causing the problem. Or maybe you have an illegal frame size? Add a PAUSE after the x264 line to keep the window open until you hit ENTER.

<edit>
I just noticed you're missing a close quote on the output filename. But x264 works without that close quote here.

one of the problems might be that the avs and x264 are located inside a system folder!

[Dr.Who]

They are not. The folder I showed you it's from desktop.

Only x264.exe is stored in system32.

I have Windows 8 x64. Does this have anything to do with the error?

[Selur]

Probably not, unless you installed 64bi Avisynth instead of 32bit Avisynth. Judging by the paths from post #4 that is not the case, but since you keep multiple x264 binaries in your system, may be you installed multiple Avisynth versions.

Looking at the avisynth script, I suspect that you have MeGui installed.
Can you open you script with MeGui? Also are you aware that x264 is a video encoder and therefore will ignore the audio stream?

Also you do not handle the audio delay anywhere in your script,... (since it's just 50ms, which is a little more than one frame it's probably not really a problem, but I thought I should mention it).

-----

Just out of curiosity: Why are you trying to use a .bat file instead of using a gui?

[Dr.Who]

Yep I know the audio is not there. I just tested the sync with VDUB.

It can be opened in MeGUI.

I have only 1 version of avisynth installed.

I just want to learn how to use it this way.

[Selur]

okay, since x264 complains about not being able to open the .avs, try using an absolute path to the avs file

[Dr.Who]

avs error. failed to load avisynth.

maybe I installed wrong the x64 version of it?

[Selur]

Normally MeGui should install a 32bit Avisynth version.
Also strange that MeGui can open the file without a problem.

[Dr.Who]

I think i'll stay with MeGui in this case...I can't possibly see the reason.
