There is a workaround for this bug. The bug is caused by acidrip not passing the necessary command line parameters to mencoder for the new version of libx264-57 library. But the necessary options may be set as defaults in an mencoder.conf file.
Create an mencoder.conf file (I created mine in ~/.mplayer/menoder.conf, but according to the man page /etc/mplayer/mencoder.conf or /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mencoder.conf should work as well) and place inside it a line like this: x264encopts=subq=6:partitions=all:8x8dct:me=umh:frameref=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto:qp=20 I believe the only option that is /truely/ necessary in order for acidrip to work is the qp=XX option. The value for XX and the other options listed in the line above are merely taken from a previous post in this list as the 'optimal' settings for an 'ultra-high' quality encoding. Attached is my mencoder.conf file. ** Attachment added: "Working mencoder.conf file that allows acidrip to work w/ x264 encoding" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14612576/mencoder.conf -- AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
