[Bug 182999] Re: AcidRip Fails to properly work with x264 (includes patch).

[groovalicious]

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.
