I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/brokenanimegifs/wiki/tutorial

Everything works perfectly. On the basis of this tutorial, I even created my own little tool. It just removes original I-frames and replaces with new one, all works fine with h264 (libx264).

Now I want to repeat this on the basis of x265, as it has a better algorithm for detecting motion and smearing the picture. But unfortunately, nothing works! I tried about such coding options:

 ffmpeg -i source.avi -vcodec libx265 -an -bf 0 -x265-params no-pme:subme=1:\
 no-weightp:no-constrained-intra:no-temporal-layers:no-temporal-mvp:no-open-gop:\
 crf=15:bframes=0:radl=0:ctu-info=0:rc-lookahead=0:gop-lookahead=0:\
 lookahead-slices=0:lookahead-threads=0:b-adapt=0:bframe-bias=0:no-b-pyramid:\
 force-flush=1:frame-threads=1 -t 30 -y result.avi

But it did not help.

I learned that x265 has many types of I-frames, I suspect that it's all about this. I can replace only the first I-frame in file, it works as before. But I can not change any other I-Frames and get the error in place of replacement, errors like:

  [hevc @ 0xb372940] Could not find ref with POC -60:00:09.17 bitrate=62974.5kbits/s dup=2 drop=0 speed=9.14x    
  [hevc @ 0xb372940] Could not find ref with POC -12:00:20.56 bitrate=62974.5kbits/s dup=2 drop=0 speed=10.2x

Do you think you can repeat this with x265? Here exists any options to force IDR-frames and disable advanced coding techniques?

    Use the last command in this answer to identify HEVC IDR frames and try to alter only those. – Gyan Apr 21 '18 at 5:21
  • Thanks! I seen this post before, but I have opposite task: find I frames in stream (done at container level), RE-ENCODE this frames, inject in original streams, subsequent frames refer to the coded keyframe and for some reason an error occurs. I understand that the encoded frame, which I substitute, clears the buffer, but it should not be. So I'm looking for a way how to encode each frame sequence (GOP) most independently. – bukkojot Apr 21 '18 at 6:53
  • Yeah, my answer will help you "find I frames in stream" - only the IDR kind. For the remaining Don't know of a direct option to suppress x265 from generating CRA/BLA frames. It could be a side-effect of some other options. – Gyan Apr 21 '18 at 13:40
  • Actually I parsing AVI container at byte level. I want to change ANY I-frame, as start every new scene in file. It will be perfect to force IDR-frames at new scenes. – bukkojot Apr 22 '18 at 4:40
  • I think, I-frames in x265 is dependent frames. According to this: dustsigns.de/CMS/wp-content/uploads/HEVC.pdf - page 18, I need CRA / BLA / IDR only for frame replacing. – bukkojot Apr 22 '18 at 4:45
