1. Introduction
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2. 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Anti-Virus Warning
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
Occasionally your Antivirus program may mistakenly detect "malware"
|
||
(virus, trojan, worm, etc.) in some of the files here. This is called a
|
||
"False Positive" and the files are actually innocent/clean. It´s an
|
||
error in your specific Antivirus software.
|
||
|
||
In case you encounter such problems, go to http://www.virustotal.com/
|
||
and check the file again with multiple Antivirus engines! And take care
|
||
with results like "suspicious" , "generic" or "packed". Those are *not*
|
||
real hits, they are just wild speculation.
|
||
|
||
Apparently Antivirus programs tend to suspect installers/uninstaller
|
||
created with NSIS. Furthermore some Antivirus programs blindly suspect
|
||
all UPX´d (packed) executables of being malware. Obviously this is a
|
||
stupid generalization, so you can safely ignore those warnings!
|
||
|
||
Last but not least: Always keep in mind that this is OpenSource
|
||
software! If you don´t trust the people providing the pre-compiled
|
||
binaries, download the source codes and compile them yourself.
|
||
|
||
DON´T SUBMIT ANY VIRUS/TROJAN REPORTS, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE
|
||
INFECTION WITH MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS ENGNINES. THANKS!

5. Portable Mode
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
This application can be run in "portable" mode. Just rename the EXE
|
||
file to 'x264_launcher_portable.exe' in order to trigger portable mode.
|
||
In that mode all configuration files will be saved in the same folder
|
||
where the EXE file resides. This may be helpful, if you want to run the
|
||
application directly from your USB stick on different computers. Note,
|
||
however, that in portable mode the install folder must be writable!
