New Mencoder MT Windows build

[shagrath]

I'd like to have some feedbacks on the new mencoder multicore build for WIndows
you just have to replace mencoder_mt.exe inside the win32 folder with this one:

http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/sv ... der_mt.exe

it's more recent, faster by a few percents (something like 3, maybe 4 % here), and more compatible with some m2ts
if nothing wrong happens, it will be included in 1.04

thanks

Downloaded, try it after work

Gonna try it right now. Lets hope that the a/v is more in sync now too

I am getting stuttering audio when i use the avisynth/mencoder transcoder as well as with avisynth/ffmpeg. So I can only use mencoder for transcoding. The only problem is that the audio frequently goes out of sync with mencoder. Mostly noticeable when I am watching some episodes of Knight Rider in HD (yeah we don't have alot of HD content by cable around here).

No probs here working fine

This built fixed crashes of the previous mencoder_mt (bundled with v1.03) on some DVB-S2 streams.
So far didn't find any new problems.
For me it's definitely a keep

PS: There is a bug with transport streams having VC1 video - even though MT version is checked in the configuration the non MT gets launched (mencoder.exe). I'll try to post on the developer's site.

no need
this build (and the previous ones) doesn't support multithread VC1 decoding. CoreAVC is the only solution for that I think

[Diodato]

no need

Sorry, but before I could read your reply I did post an issue... Can you cancel it?
Maybe for others a useful observation could be that using the "avisynth/mencoder" engine one does get better VC-1 performance on multi-core machines.

I have noticed a thing with the new MEncoder (must be it, havent changed anything else), i watched a movie yesterday with the "old" MEncoder HT and i watched the same movie second time tonight, with the new MEncoder HT.
With the new one, in dark scenes (night/dark rooms) blacks and shadows are very unsmooth, like poor xvid SD resolutin.
It gets pixelated and big blocks appear!

[shagrath]

never noticed that
if you could test both of builds on same video extracts, once again , just to confirm ?
