Can't encode with x264

  • Hmm it still just crashes on libx264. Should i create a new topic for this problem or can i provide you anything else?


    Log with the x264params set:

  • I use davinci resolve but After it didn't work there, I switched to the Scene Test mode only.

    In DaVinci, the video will not render, and in the Scene Test, I get the same error as in DaVinci when I check the logs:

    As soon as I don't use the "Profile High" parameter and let the encoder use the default settings, the Scene Test crashes/just closes when I click on "Start." The log shows the following details:


    I used your included FFMPEG installer for the GPL version and verified that I don’t have any outdated system environment variables. The only environment variable set for FFMPEG is the one from your installer.

  • Do you have one video- and one audio track here?

    Tried with one and without, no change in behaviour.

    Did you also set the "Frames / Iterations" counter to 100 or higher?

    Tried set it higher same behaviour

    Your second attempt seemed to be actually successful.

    The Software just closed and in Davinic Resolve the video don't get rendered with the error: "Codec is not opened yet."


    If you want or open for this i can also show you this in a discord call (German language) but we can also continue here.

    I would pm you the discord tag.

    Hat den Titel des Themas von „Can't encoder with x264“ zu „Can't encode with x264“ geändert.
  • Alright. We can have a call after christmas if this is okay for you.

    I actually fixxed the problem by downloading the lastest ffmpeg 7.1 releae manually and overwrite the files from your latest FFMPEG GPL installer here:

    C:\Program Files\FFmpeg

    This is the autobuild i used from the BtbN release: Latest Auto-Build (2024-12-24 12:59)
