-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently got a new SVN version of mplayer, which needed a fresh git pull of x264 (which is now libx264.so.79). After building mencoder, and running the following line, mencoder runs for about 10 minutes or a bit more, then stops and does nothing, CPU usage is at 0%, ps ax shows 'Sl+' or 'Sl' as status, nothing else. I cannot press Ctrl+C, only killing it (with SIGKILL) will terminate mencoder, SIGTERM (and of course SIGINT) does nothing. I use the following line: mencoder infile -o outfile -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr=128 -ovc x264 - -x264encopts bitrate=512:pass=1:turbo=1:threads=8 -vf $scale -srate 44100 -ofps 24 (the 2nd pass would look like this, if it ever came to this:) mencoder infile -o outfile -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr=128 -ovc x264 - -x264encopts bitrate=512:subq=6:partitions=all:8x8dct:me=umh:frameref=5:pass=2:threads=8 - -vf $scale -srate 44100 -ofps 24 Two days earlier, I was able to compress a movie this way (I'm doing it exactly this way for now more than two years), but on the end of the 2nd pass I got a segmentation error (which now I cannot reproduce since it freezes on the first pass). So my question is, if someone experienced something similar with encoding, and/or if my used options are somewhat outdated and therefore causing the problem... On my machine I was usually able to attain a speed of ~230 fps on the first pass and ~120fps on the 2nd pass, but now I only get 180fps on the first pass... - -- Cheers, Alex -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkr8kkAACgkQ1J0MF2u394ziYACfbdvOcn/Th2sfWzjiM+y4xK80 zhMAni+0D/jEXRVGhv/K8YAT7QKqQa6W =imRt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
