AVIsynth for MAC users

In addition, there seems to be no real way to disable B-frames, or at least I didn't see one in the options.

Not even setting B-frames to 0 worked?

There doesn't seem to be a simple B-frames checkbox, with custom amount or not. There are alot of options though, and I may have interpreted some wrong.

Anyway, the x.264 MP4 simply will not encode in Lossless mode.I get an error at 99 percent. I wonder if it's me :/

Granted, I've got the Windows version of Avidemux in front of me, but after selecting x264 from the Video drop-down menu, click the Configure button. The Reference frame option and the various B-frame options are on the 'Motion & Misc' and 'Partitions & Frames' tabs, respectively.

Right, hadn't paid attention to reference frames. But does the minimum quantizer level in "Rate Control" refuse to go under 10 on your version as well?

It encodes fine for me, but I can't open the finished file in an editing/export program, even with both Perian and Berlios' QuickTime x264 component installed. Plays in VLC, but that's it.

I would assume that's just its default setting. Absolutely ensuring a Lossless encode would be done by making both the minimum and maximum quantizers 0.

No no, the tab that would allow going down below 10 is grayed out.

Oh, then it probably wasn't even being used, seeing as how the encoding quantizer setting was below 10, it probably automatically disables that option.

The reason my answer probably seemed out of left field is because I'd already deleted Avidemux and was just trying to recall from memory.

Guys, QuickTime supports all of Baseline and Main Profiles, just no High Profile (yet). As soon as Blu-ray drives for Mac come out, expect to see HP support in QT.
