Grrr, this is still doing my head in , and I feel I have spent half my holiday this week doing this !
If I do one pass , then i still get the annoying "x264 has stopped working error message ", so I have to keep clicking "close program " to make the transcoding finish.
If I do any of the '2 passes' , then AVCHD just finishes after I click close program on the above error, and doesnt write any files in the Stream folder. Looking at the script box on the right hand side of the screen , it has the folloing information :
[14:14:39] *** Transcoding failed!
[14:14:39] *** Check ffdshow/avisynth/haali (reinstall)!

[14:14:39] tsMuxeR failed to process [C:\Users.......\MVI_4195.MP4]...

Looking at the quality when I do 1 pass VHQ then it looks very good on my TV , so i dont know how much better 2 passes will make it ?
I have googled he 264 error and cant see any real solution. I can see that the x264 file sits within the multiAVCHD folder folder on my C drive.
I looked at downloading the file from another source but couldnt find where to get it from. However , i dont think its the file itself , as that would mean it would fail for everybody. I have even tried downloading multiAVCHD onto my laptop , but couldnt get it to work on there at all !
Ultimately I can sit by my pc and keep clicking close program for each file Im trying to add, but thats a pain .
So the crux is 2 questions
1 - how get rid of this 264 error .
2 - why is 2 passes failing (and how much does it really matter )
