https://web.archive.org/web/20120709085619/http://doom10.org/index.php?topic=2135.0 In short {D76E2820-1563-11CF-AC98-00AA004C0FA9} AVI Compressor interface doesn't exist in 64-bit version of qcap.dll so only DMO filters are available and not VFW. It only shows DMOs registred in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}\Instance\ 64-bit VFW codecs are only available in VFW supporting apps like VirtualDub64 not in DirectShow.

Mpxplay posted a comment on ticket #27

The reported x264vfw version belongs to me. But it also doesn't work with the x264vfw version of BugMaster (VFW codecs don't appear in GraphStudioNext x64). Explanation: a part of the Google AI answer to the "is there qcap.dll 64 bit version" questioon: Limitation: Many legacy VfW codecs (like x264vfw) are only accessible via DirectShow using the 32-bit version of the (qcap) DLL. So it's a limitation of the Win OS, not a codec registration problem.

No. The previous information should be enough if they really want to fix a bug in their product. I doubt that the place in the x264vfw code (codec.c:1881) where the memory access violation occurs will be useful to them.

Thanks for the info, if there's anything more you can share by way of info I can share with Adobe, i'll re-open the dialogue and try and get them to change. Thanks for the time.

BugMaster posted a comment on ticket #9

Hi. I tried to export using Adobe Media Encoder and it failed. This is Adobe's bug: they send a broken memory pointer (icf) in the ICM_COMPRESS_FRAMES_INFO message and therefore the codec crashes due to memory access violation. Ignoring this message is a bad idea because it signals the frame rate and therefore if you ignore it, all bitrates will be incorrect (as if it is always 25 fps). I also tried exporting to Xvid but it fails for the same reason.

Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #9

Thanks for the reply. Selection is absolutely fine and shows up no problem, but did you try exporting in any of PP, Ae or Media Encoder? I'm forever greeted with this error on anything past v23.3 of their builds. Likewise with their latest big yearly update of software to V24.

What do you mean no longer supported? I tested Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 (23.6) and Adobe Media Encoder 2023 (23.6), both still support x264vfw codec selection when using the AVI output format. Have you installed the full version of the codec, both 32-bit and 64-bit?

Hello, In Adobes wisdom the latest versions of their software no longer seem to support this codec when exporting. It works fine to edit with, but refuses to export using x264 past the v23.3 iterations of their software. I've spoken to their customer support and they always come back with the same '3rd party codecs' line, and say any issues need to be resolved by the original author. Is there any chance this could be investigated? Many thanks

x264vfw even says in its name that it is a VfW (Video for Windows) codec, not DirectShow. in GraphStudioNext it is visible in Video Compressors as ACM/ICM type with category "DMO Video Encoder" and category GUID={33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86} make sure that your application has the same bit depth as the installed x264vfw, or install the full version (both 32-bit and 64-bit).

Hi, I have installed the x264vfw encoder on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine, and I've written a small program using DirectShow APIs to detect all the available video compressors (Based on their "FriendlyName" tag ) installed on my system.

BugMaster posted a comment on ticket #25

If by "dropped" you mean that capture side starts capture in 5 fps instead of 30 fps because your CPU is not fast enough to capture and encode simultaneously than x264vfw can't do anything about this (it encodes every frame it gets but can't encode something it doesn't get because it wasn't captured) and all you can do is to choose faster preset which will need less CPU to encode.

BugMaster posted a comment on ticket #25

Sorry, but I don't under stand what you mean by "The problem is that the video is very dropped" or "the image is sharp but the movements are dropped." . Can you be specific (screenshots or sample) what exactly are your settings and what wrong with output? Preferably also post mediainfo text output for you encoded sample (like this https://pastebin.com/adD6qZRM).

I'm sure I am doing everything as I've always done when I used XP 32bits. The codec x264vfw is chosen in the app and Gspot always shows H.264 as codec with a ratio over 10000 thou I change the value in the codec settings.

Update: Skype and Evaer just work with the x86 version of the x264vfw codec. This way the bitrate can be set and limited. The problem is that the video is very dropped. When using the h.264 codec included in Evaer the video runs fluently, but there's no way to configure it to set a higher bitrate and the quality is very poor. That's why I want to use again the x264vfw codec. I tried to use the default settings of the codec, moved the bitrate, changed the preset from very fast to very slow but the...

BugMaster posted a comment on ticket #25

Are you sure that x264vfw codec was used at all? "10Gb per minute " sounds like it raw uncompressed video without any codec i.e. x264vfw wasn't used at all. Check your output video in mediainfo and if it is not H.264 video than something is wrong with how you used x264vfw in you app (i.e. it wasn't choosed).

Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #25

The codec worked fine when I captured Skype videocalls live with Evaer on Windows XP and W7, but since I moved to Windows 10 x64, the bitrate control seems to be disabled. It creates a file of tons of Gb (about 10Gb per minute recorded) and doesn't matter the value I set. I tried to capture video live with other software using the x264vfw codec and it happens the same, no way to set or limit the bitrate.

Thank you. I thought the small file produced by the first pass ("Premiere.avi") was actually the stats file itself and I got confused, because Premiere will overwrite it on the 2nd pass. I now see the extra files (x264.stats and x264.stats.temp).

Hi. There is no real video output during "Multipass - 1st pass"/ "Multipass - 1st pass (fast)" as like you used --no-output option. That is why you didn't get x264vfw.avi file (or would get empty/dummy output if you have used VFW output mode). 1st pass is only used to create stats files (x264.stats/x264.stats.mbtree) so encode output is discarded. After encoding "Multipass - Nth pass" you will get resulting x264vfw.avi, no need to change file name between passes (but you can if you want). If you...

BugMaster posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Hi. It is due to hardware resources i.e. not enough CPU to simultaneously play game and make encoding in realtime. You should find the slowest "Preset" which would be still fast enough for your CPU i.e. probably something around "Veryfast" or "Faster". Also you should set "Zero Latency" tuning if you output in VFW mode in anything else than VirtualDub. And imho "Fast Decode" is not needed for you as you should optimize encoding here and not decoding.

Hi. That probably was changed in this commit of x264. Not showing of LZCNT and BMI2 together now is normal. But probably due use of XP (where AVX is not supported) it now detects BMI2 but don't show it also without AVX while already have hidden LZCNT. IMHO it should show LZCNT without BMI2 in your case.

I can't control what video info show (except really changing bitrate which it do) or how Sony Vegas mux output file. Do filesize correctly change when you change bitrate in x264vfw or filesize also always the same? Also your bitrate looks like uncompressed video bitrate. Are you sure Sony Vegas really use x264vfw during output?
