From the Mac to the Org?

Much appreciated.

Is it possible to compile in AVI input support for the x264 builds? That way it can autodetect both the resolution and framerate (thus completely removing the need to declare framerate at any point of the encoding process if MP4 output support is also enabled), and doesn't switch or mangle the planes of Uncompressed YV12 as opposed to I420*.

*Encoded with ffdshow's VFW interface - maybe it is splitting hairs because it supports encoding to either one, but dumping the YV12-marked file to raw with avi2raw and attempting to encode it turned everything blue; the I420 option retained all the proper colors. Giving it the YV12 file, except in AVI, also resulted in proper color retention. It just seems to be an issue when giving it a raw YV12 file. Note: these are behaviours I noticed on the Windows rev.709 build by Cef, but I have no reason to believe that part would be different under another OS - I'll be able to test it on the Mac tomorrow.

Does it also have to be run with sudo as well? That seemed to be the only way I could get it to do anything, but maybe I was doing something wrong (I was running it from a flash drive, which is my guess if it isn't normally required).

I'll check the latest SVN but as of the version I currently have, no. "--enable-avis-input" seems to be a WIN32 option only.

I will build this in.

<facepalm> No, it doesn't, that is my fault. I screwed up the uid's and permissions in the zip. I will fix this in the next release too as I will be releasing .pkg's

Could I please have a willing PPC guinea pig contact me? (PM, email, feedback on my site, etc.)

I don't have a PPC machine and want someone to test my universal builds. Thanks.

I was afraid of that, but considering the AVI support is paired into AviSynth support, it doesn't surprise me. I wonder how it would be possible to give it something where the framerate and resolution is autodetected, then. The only thing I could think of is piping ffmpeg's output to x264, but I'm not sure that would do it.

How old, exactly? I'm not sure what x264 (or Universal Binary) basic requirements are on OS X, but we've got an old iBook that runs Jaguar.

I volunteered. My mac is a testbed already, anyhow.
