[x264-devel] commit: Simplify pixel_ads (Loren Merritt )

[Dylan Klebesadel]

Try transcoding a raw file to a compressed x264.
If the file is 20 to 3 times the size of your ram it will run out of memory.
Can't we put a limit on how much memory x264 can use?

I'll screen capture this if it helps so you know what I am talking about.
