Hi all. <br>I have the same cpu of David Sullivan, and so I tried to investigate the problem. <br>My sytem: <br>- CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme 3,2GHz<br>- Ubuntu 8,04 64bit version<br>- x264 r999<br>- used clip: mobile.y4m<br>
<br>My problem is simple. If I use the command: "x264 mobile_cif.y4m -B 300 -v -o mobile.mkv"<br>the produced file has a really strange "chess effect", due to a massive presence of "i" frames. <br>
<br>if, instead, I use the following command: "x264 mobile_cif.y4m -B 300 -v <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">--threads 2</span> -o mobile_2.mkv"<br>surprisingly (for me) the produced file is fine. The result is good for any thread number greater than the default "1". <br>
<br>I attached the 2 logs produced.<br><br> Any idea?<br><br>Thanks <br><br>Marco Liuzzi<br><br>
