Complete Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New for x264vfw
v2.10 2025.02.02.
- updated x264lib to build 164 (20250103), updated x264 command line options and x264 cli reference in x264vfw
- updated FFmpeg to v6.1.2 (decoding and encoder file writer functions)
- updated compiler to MinGW v12.2
- corrected --deblock/-f option
v2.00 2020.03.21.
- Initial version, using x264lib build 159, revision 2991
Because I haven't seen any updates on the original x264vfw codec in the past several years, I've made a new version, based on my x265vfw, using x264lib from https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264
You can download the new x264vfw from http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net
Advantages over the original x264vfw:
- 8 and 10 bit encoding output (use --output-depth 10 option in the extra command line)
- Supports much more input color spaces, including 10 and 16 bit per channel ones (see list in the help, press '?' button)
- Reworked color space selection ("Convert to ...")
- Reworked Display Aspect Ratio setting
- Optional HW accelerated decoding
- New file output writing, based on FFmpeg
- x264 encoder library is updated to the latest available version from https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264
- Optional OpenCL based encoding (8-bit output only), it can be enabled with --opencl option in the extra command line (but the encoding can be slower at the case of weak OpenCL support, like on my Intel CPUs)
Known disadvantage(s):
- dts-compress option is not implemented in this x264vfw
- Gordian Knot workaround is removed (whatever was that)
- updated x264lib to build 164 (20250103), updated x264 command line options and x264 cli reference in x264vfw
- updated FFmpeg to v6.1.2 (decoding and encoder file writer functions)
