<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First excuse my bad English</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your fantastic good quality x264
encoder but I have a big problem with Interlaced video. My source is high
quality HD 50i and my goal is to preserve the interlacing in H.264.mp4 at 50MB/s
(<A href="mailto:High@L4.1">High@L4.1</A>) or at 75MB/s @5.0 that
are almost lossless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><U><STRONG>With
--tff</STRONG></U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Edius 9 last version and Adobe CS6 says that the
H264 is Progressive<BR>- Adobe CC2018 says that it is Upper Field
First</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><U><STRONG>With
--bff</STRONG></U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Edius says that it is Progressive<BR>- Adobe CS6
and CC 2018 says that it is Upper Field First</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since there is little movment in my pictures, I
tried also with fake-interlaced without success (always interpreted as
progressive)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried also with --pict-struct but this does not
help</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But the same streams are correctly interpred by
MediaInfo</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is not a big problem in Edius or Adobe because
there is an "Interpreet Footage" option but with the files directly on my TV
(hard disk) or on my harware media player, the footage is incorrectly
interpreted, what is not the case with the Edius H264 files. Thus, why not to
use Edius: because the quality of your encoder is much
better. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that your H264 Header is flaged to
interlaced bff or tff in a way that is not compatible with the H264
specs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An other solution is to encode the interlaced in
progressive (without deinterlacing) at a higher bit rate and patching the header
of the mp4 file as interlaced but where are the bytes that I must
change?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Help me please.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Regards.</FONT></DIV>
