---------------
|
||||
|
||||
This program is a simple GUI front-end for the x264 H.264/AVC encoder.
|
||||
Thanks to Avs2YUV, this program can use the 64-Bit version of x264 with
|
||||
the 32-Bit version of Avisynth. This way you can keep on using your
|
||||
favorite 32-Bit Avisynth plug-ins (e.g. DGDecodeNV) and still benefit
|
||||
from the speed improvements of 64-Bit x264. Of course you can also use
|
||||
64-Bit Avisynth, which is still considered experimental, if desired.
|
||||
And of course you can use x264's built-in LAVF/FFMS input instead of
|
||||
Avisynth just as well. Moreover this program provides full batch
|
||||
encoding support. This means that you can run several encoding jobs in
|
||||
parallel. Or you can let them run in sequence - one by one.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. System Requirements
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This program runs on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and later.
|
||||
64-Bit Windows is highly recommended, but 32-Bit Windows works as well.
|
||||
The CPU should support at least the MMX and SSE1 instruction sets.
|
||||
Avisynth 2.5.x must be installed in order to use Avisynth (.avs) input.
|
||||
YV16/YV24 color spaces only supported by Avisynth 2.6 [see section 9].
|
||||
Audio encoding NOT officially supported by x264 yet [see section 10].
|
||||
(a) Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and later
|
||||
(b) 64-Bit Windows is highly recommended, but 32-Bit Windows is okay
|
||||
(c) The CPU must support at least the MMX and SSE-1 instruction sets
|
||||
(d) Avisynth input only available with Avisynth 2.5+ installed
|
||||
(e) VapourSynth input only available with VapourSynth R19+ installed
|
||||
(f) YV16/YV24 color spaces require Avisynth 2.6 [see section 10]
|
||||
|
||||
100% standalone, does *not* require Mircrosoft.NET or other runtimes
