#749 X264 stopps encoding, but doesn't fail/crash error etc
I have had this problem where x264 just stopps encoding.
I don't notice it except if i watch the timer, it just stopps, it says 100fps, then it goes down and down, and the timer (video time) is stuck.
So it looks like it continues, but it doesn't.
And i have to exit the x264 with task manager, but it hasn't freezes, it just, is there like it's waiting for better days.
I have tried refreshing my Megui (reinstalling it) and stuff like that, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Worth noting, it seems to occur only/more often when using the Development Update at this moment.
Hi
I've been having the same issue with the development build after updating to the very latest component. Strangely, it only seems to happen when using slow x264 presets (I personally use "very slow")
Anyway, since the problem does not happen with the stable version of Megui, I did some tests, and it turns out that the latest x264 build (2389) is the culprit. The version coming with stable Megui (2358) works without problem and so does build 2377, which I tested with beta Megui.
So for now, it seems that reverting to either build 2358 or 2377 of x264 fixes the issue.
The problem does only occur with the first pass of a bitrate encode - at least for me.
A CRF Encode doesnt have a problem.
The 2nd pass of a bitrate encode also not.
The suddenly stopping behaviour is totally random. You can do the first pass so often until you have luck and it runs through.
Are all of you using the 64 bit builds of x264?
it happens with both variants. And it also happens without megui (cli).
seems to be a x264 related bug.

That would have been my next question.
So the x264 build is causing the problems. Please try it with this builds: http://komisar.gin.by/ (use the "clear" ones first)
Hi Zathor
I downloaded the "clear" build of 2389 from that website, and it seems to work fine now! I have encoded 1 movie and 13 épisodes of a series as a test and everything worked flawlessly.
Edit: I used the x64 build since I'm running Windows 7 x64.

Your x264 downgrade that came with megui update seemed to solve the problem.
Thank you very much.
revert the x264 version pls. The bug occurs again.
Please try the newly upload x264 build
you mean 2409 which came today? I got that update - thats why I posted here.
Because this version still has the bug. Had to revert to 2377 again.

or is the difference now: 2409 vs 2409 komisar mod?
works so far for me, but maybe it was luck. We'll see the next encodes.
But it seems to me surprisingly fast. But maybe its just because of its less complexity. This is faster then of course too.
But: Do you know what exactly is changed in the komisar mod? Also the komisar mod file is around 5mbyte bigger filesize than the normal one. Thats quite huge difference when the original file is 3 mbyte. So I wonder what this mod all does change/advance? :o
2409 komisar works.
