O' dear lord. We've created a worse monster then before. Before it was just H.264 in AVI. Now we have VfW H.264 in MKV. What is next P2A ;-;, how much more can you truly blaspheme and still have no clue.

Try going to the Zones tab in the Video configuration tab, selecting your favorite profile and typing in --aq-strength 1.1 in the Custom Commandline Options text box. Press Update to confirm the change and encode another video. Did this fix your problem? Most likely not, but I'm trying to narrow down the problem.
1.1 is far too high to be used in most encodes, you will just waste bitrate. Better to try values such as 0.3 or so.

I know. The only reason I suggested him to use this value was because I wanted to test if his issue was encoder related. If this does not fix his problem, it should be quite obvious he has somehow managed to greatly screw up his decoder (turning off deblocking in FFDShow, anyone?).

H.264 muxed from AVI to MKV is just as bad as plain H.264 in AVI!
It's just an AVI wrapped in an MKV. Don't do it.

Try with just the x264 commandline and see what happens. Personally I'd guess on either a decoder bork or some MeGUI fishyness. Can you upload a sample?

in this day and age of fansubbing, mkv basically means you're also getting h264.

In this day and age ignorance is still never an excuse :P. Try to tell the Judge "you didn't know X was a law." I think you'll find he won't care and you are still responsible for your actions (and what you say).

Not to mention there are some people "in this day and age" who aren't anal and use Xvid+Vorbis in MKV. Who'da thunk it, not using AVI @_@ zoomj.

How can a container format look better than another container format? When extracted from its container, the MPEG data is exactly the same.* I'm not trying to denigrate your precious format, as I appreciate its ability to support multiple audio tracks and soft subtitles. But let's be real here.

*With the exception of obsolete containers that break newer codecs.

Who said anything about video looking better in one container or another? Not to denigrate your posting ability but I haven't seen someone say that yet, or maybe I just ignored it because it would obviously be the dumbest thing in the world. However I have noted a large number of people tell Power2All (as in the past when he plainly ignored them because he is a genius) that VfW H.264 should not be used. But hey its all just opinion according to Power2All. No such thing as facts and standards in the world, just opinions.

But you are right muxing from one container to another will have no effect on video quality. However x264 video encoded from the VfW encoder is quite different from video encoded from the CLI (command-line) encoder, and not just in terms of quality. This is the problem which Power2All was rightly flamed for some 6 months ago (or something I think?) because he was stubbornly and ignorantly refusing to listen to anyone with any sense of encoding knowledge whatsoever. Can we stop the cancerous growth now, or do we need to continue being idiots who cannot take useful and valid input anymore?

Wasn't that what the OP said in this very thread? Or did I misunderstand him?

It's not an easy to parse sentence, but he says something about MeGUI - so not only about container.

I think there're at least two (fansub) teams using x264 in avi right now. >_>

I wonder if the a2a encodes bork CoreAVC + YV12 just like all of the Serin ones?

Anyone bored enough to check?

EDIT: What to look for (if somebody bothers to check):

Hahaha. Reminds me of the days of olde when foolish encoders used 3ivx.

Harukalover, I get the Serin ones to play fine with CoreAVC + YV12, though when Haali is used for splitting it breaks IIRC. Been a long time since I last checked...
