Progress percentage bar and 64 bits ffmpeg

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you add a percentage bar of the total analysis / encoding to keep track of 
the progress? It will very useful in long video projects.

Also I wonder if you can add the 64 bits version of ffmpeg. I added it manually 
(trying bot the shared and static builds) and it works fine with x264 codec 
(encoding 25% more faster than the default) but it makes my bencos crash when 
using vp8 codec...

Thanks

I use this custom 2pass commands with the 64 bits version of ffmpeg:

ffmpeg.exe -i "C:\movie001.avi" -vcodec libx264 -b 3072k -bt 3072k -threads 4 
-pass 1 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 96k -ac 1 -ar 44100 "C:\movie001.mp4"
ffmpeg.exe -i "C:\movie001.avi" -vcodec libx264 -b 3072k -bt 3072k -threads 4 
-pass 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 96k -ac 1 -ar 44100 "C:\movie001.mp4"

I wrote the number of my processor threads (4) and it make the first pass at 30 
fps and the second at 24-26. (Using a 720p raw avi video).

But using bencos witht the same video i get very very slow encoding speeds (3 
fps).
So i think it doesnt detect properly my cpy threads or the program needs a 
option to disable the use of preset, profiles and tune, in order to get more 
speed.

bencos use higher quality presets than ffmpeg's defaults..

in my tests I didn't see any (speed) difference using 32bit or 64bit.

about progress I'll see later, if I finish the threaded encoding.

I made some tests with the same video enconding first with bencos in the 
maximun settings (high10, film, very slow) and with ffmpeg simple input, and 
the quality result was aprox. the same. The idea is to add the option of not 
using the custom presets for people with slower computers be able to code in 
decent speeds. I have a i5 processor which is ridiculous and when im enconding 
hd video i need to use the vp8 codec for not taking years. (Sorry for my shitty 
english).

presets are for h264, why are you talking about vp8?

if it's too slow, why not using a faster preset?

also vp8 is mostly single threaded: it never used more than 1 core on my i3.

also, create new issues for new issues.

about progress bar, it's only cosmetic. you can see in the realtime logs where 
the encode is.
