FORMICA  I have LOVED previous versions of this. But 1.0.3 keeps crashing all my video conversion apps! I haven't made it through a single conversion since this version came out (in all, maybe 11 attempts). Don't know enough to have any clue what's causing it on my 10.5.7 new MacBook.

- What applications do you use to encode video?

- Send me crash report via E-Mail.

- Remove plist file inside ~/Library/Preferences/com.MyCometG3.x264Encoder.plist

- Check if it does help.

DIAMOND  Its open source some would say thats enough but not me.

Its better than APPLEs as its completely user configurable this includes the HIGH PROFILE options Quicktime 7 wont use with out it and options to limit how much resources it uses up. Even with these options its still quicker than Apples built in H264 encoder with better results due to the high profile options.

MYCOMETG3  Please check README-Tips.rtf (included document)

* Quality slider corresponds to ffmpeg -qmin. Center is QP=24, Best is QP=14, Least is QP=34.

* On Constant Rate Factor-CRF Mode, the slider corresponds to ffmpeg -crf. Center is crf=24, Best is crf =14, Least is crf =34.

I guess these range are enough for common use. Additionally, qmax is always 51 (same as x264 default).

//

* By default, partitions are I4x4, I8x8, P8x8, B8x8. (Same as x264 default)

Also you can check partp4x4, which means ALL partitions type.
