Now you can use a 8 bit input video with the "high444_8b" AVC setting. This will produce a 10bit video using high444pp. The other AVC setting
"high444" will produce the same video but with a 10bit input video.
I also added the support for "high422" and "high444" into the profile system: now when you create a profile with "--high444" or "--high422" the GUI
select the 10bit x264 binary; so you can do what you want with the "--output-csp", "--input-csp", "--input-depth" and not only the two things
provided with the "high444" and "high444_8b" setting.
As always you can download this beta build from: download x264Gui 0.9.6 beta
Take in mind that this only the executable: so replace your local x264Gui.exe with this.
Hello,
Just a small update regarding x264Gui. Due to some requests I added the option "high444". Take in mind that this very first implementation
is very simple and so you must know what you are doing.
To use "high444" you *must* use e 4:4:4 10bit input! If you don't have a input with these characteristics the only way to use
"high444" is by passing to x264 an avisynth script (with the needed filters...).
The "high444" implementation is done by adding this command:
"--profile high444 --input-csp i444 --output-csp i444 --input-depth 10"
As you can see you *must* use a 4:4:4 10bit input file.
I also added the "chroma-qp-offset" option, useful when you are using the "high444" profile.

Hello,
Due to the recents spam attacks I migrated (again) the website to a site completely made with static pages. Since I write about
10 post per year a CMS is not strictly necessary.
If you want to report a bug in my softwares, or simply write something, please use the forum (link in the menu), send me an email

Please, update your bookmark and your RSS reader, otherwise you can't receive the updates.
Hello,
after 6 months, today I bring you a new release of x264Gui: 0.9.5 that cames with only one change:: the new codec (rev 2245) released today.
At this moment I'm porting this application to C++/QT so you'll be able to execute it on Linux, MacOS and Windows. This is a long work and I'm looking for some help.
Now the download links (sourceforge at the beginning of the new week): Download V0.9.5 from this site
ps: x264Gui was downloaded approx. 20000 times, this is a nice news for a very small project like this.
Hi,
sorry for the silence during this months but I was really busy with my real life problems.
At the end of September I started to write the thesis for my degree in computer science and in December I graduated with a 104/110 mark. Now I started to study for the other and final degree in computer science.
Regarding x264Gui, I plan to completely port the program to QT/C++ (maybe Java) since I'm not a Windows user anymore. But I need some help to do it. Otherwise I don't know what to do, I can't maintain a C# code...
Anyway the x264 codec devolpement it's strangely slow this year (only 5 major release) and I don't know why...
Bye and I wish you an happy new year (too late for Christmas).
ps: I started a new blog about anime at blog.croma25td.com and I'm searching for writers.
I released the new version of the codec (r 2216) and it's available via the updater. In order to receive the new version of the codec you have only to launch the updater.
Since nobody responded to the previous post ("I want you!") I'd like to clarify that, without some help, I don't known what will happen to this project: but don't worry in the worst case the development will be only slower.
Hi all,
I have a request: someone want to partecipate in the development of x264Gui? I want to translate it in C++ using the QT libs in order to make a multiplatform program (win, mac and linux).
If you'd like to help me please send an email (i disabled the comments due to spammers) at: croma25td (at) gmail (dot) com
In a few days I'll release a new version of x264Gui in order to update the codecs (no changes in the gui).
Hi,
as you can see during these last months I haven't found the time to update the site and my utilities (such as x264Gui).
The things will remain the same until the end of this year, because now I have to study for my lasts exams (two), then I have to write my thehis and finally I'll discuss it by the end of this year.
I'm also glad that the GUI is somewhat well received: the total download on sourceforge are 8000 (4500 this year).
