MediaCoder FullEdition 0.7.0.4398 2pass x264 bug

[Vboy]

There is a bug in MediaCoder FullEdition 0.7.0.4398 where it doesn't transcode when i use 2pass with x264

After the first pass the encoder stops and gives this message



Os : Vista x86 SP1

Here is the x264 setting i am using and container is MP4

Code: Select all

# ".\codecs\x264.exe" "$(SourceFile)" --no-psnr --no-ssim --keyint 250 --min-keyint 25 --level 40 --me umh --merange 16  --no-fast-pskip  --non-deterministic --ref 8 --subme 8 --partitions all --8x8dct --bframes 15 --direct auto --mixed-refs --trellis 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --deblock 1:1 --bitrate $(VideoBitrate) --qcomp 0.6 --threads auto  --stats "$(PassLogFile)" --pass 1 -o NUL

# ".\codecs\x264.exe" "$(SourceFile)" --no-psnr --no-ssim --keyint 250 --min-keyint 25 --level 40 --me umh --merange 16  --no-fast-pskip  --non-deterministic --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 1.0 --b-adapt 2 --ref 8 --subme 8 --psy-rd 1:1 --partitions all --8x8dct --bframes 15 --direct auto --mixed-refs --trellis 2 --b-pyramid --weightb --deblock 1:1 --bitrate $(VideoBitrate) --qcomp 0.6 --threads auto  --stats "$(PassLogFile)" --pass 2 -o "$(DestFile)"

Audio : Nero He2

Code: Select all

.\codecs\neroAacEnc.exe -hev2 -br 64000 -if "$(SourceFile)" -of "$(DestFile)"

I tried changing the settings but still the same results.
It works in Bitrate & Quality based mode, but not in Two-Pass mode.

Also tried older versions (stable versions 0.6.2.4275 & 0.6.1.4045) and still the same result.

Here is the info of a sample 720P video i am trying to convert.

Just to make sure that there is no problems with the original videos, i tried encoding them with RipBot264 and it worked perfectly. And most of the source videos are 1280x720 mkv files.

Stanley please fix this

Can you confirm:

1. whether you can do 1-pass transcoding with your settings
2. whether you can do 2-pass transcoding with default settings

[Vboy]

Yup i can do 1 pass (bitrate based) transcoding with my settings (predictor frames=8, etc.)

The 2-pass transcoding works when i use the default setting (predictor frames=1, etc.) , but produces the error 14 when i use my setting (predictor frames=8, etc.).

Also i just downloaded 0.7.0.4399, and unfortunately the same problem
