Andrew,

Is there a flag when compiling x265 so that the user does not have to see these informational messages?

I know they are good for us -- but most users will not want to see them.

x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 3.4
x265 [info]: build info [Linux][GCC 10.2.1][64 bit] 8bit
x265 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast LZCNT SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 BMI2 AVX2
x265 [info]: Main profile, Level-2 (Main tier)

x265 [info]: frame threads / pool features : 4 / wpp(4 rows)
x265 [warning]: Source height < 720p; disabling lookahead-slices

x265 [info]: Residual QT: max TU size, max depth : 32 / 1 inter / 1 intra

it seems at least part of this info printed by Encoder::printSummary() function in

thirdparty/x265_3.5/source/encoder/encoder.cpp

try to just unconditionally return from very first lines in it?

like commenting out this 'if' line, while leaving return in place...

$ cat thirdparty/x265_3.5/source/encoder/encoder.cpp | grep Summary -A 10 void Encoder::printSummary() { if (m_param->logLevel < X265_LOG_INFO) return;

encoding. I verified on the timeline!

thanks! (but remembering history of my hacks it never hurt to test a bit more...)
