Wrong H264 level with VLC 1.0.0 release
Posted: 13 Jul 2009 01:01
I'm using the exact same settings for x264 with VLC 1.0.0 release as the ones I used with VLC 1.0.0-pre2, one of these settings being the H264 level which is set to 4.1.
VLC 1.0.0-pre2 gave me the correct level I asked for:
But VLC 1.0.0 is giving me level 4.0:
Source file is the same MPEG2 PAL DVB capture. Output size is the same. And as I've said x264 settings are the same in both cases.
VLC 1.0.0-pre2 gave me the correct level I asked for:
