StaxRip

You can find mClean in the Filter Profiles editor on the defaults tab.

The option "Prevent system entering standby mode while encoding" does not work anymore. The system is entering standby mode after the time set in the windows options while StaxRip is encoding.
During the encode process I only have the job processing window open, no other StaxRip window.

@Natty:
Fire up StaxRip.
Go to Apps.
Go to Manage.
Scroll down to find FFTW.
Open FFTW.
The last words are self explaining...
This is the simple way to put the right 64bit FFTW file to your Windows\system32 directory.

thanks for quick help, the older script of mclean works fine now

There is nothing changed since I last checked it, what I noticed is that the code doesn't support multiple staxrip instances, did you encode with more then one instance?

1.6.1.4 unstable test build

• fix: StaxRip didn't ask to install FFTW in case it's required by the active script (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...32#post1817732)

• new: the job processing dialog additionally to showing the progress as text it shows progress now also with a progress bar (https://github.com/stax76/staxrip/wi...job-processing)
• new: DeLogo VapourSynth plugin (https://forum.gleitz.info/showthread...l=1#post459186)
• new: Log File Viewer added, it features a nav/tab bar to eailiy navigate to the different sections of the log file (https://github.com/stax76/staxrip/wi...og-file-viewer)
• new: DCTFilter v0.5.0 AviSynth plugin added (https://github.com/chikuzen/DCTFilter)

• usability: preview starts with zoom for small resolutions
• cosmetic: DTS-HRA wasn't detected and extracted and displayed as DTS-HD

I encode only with one instance.
I can't say with which version the faulty behaviour first has occurred, but v1.6.0.9 doesn't prevent entering standby mode.

[stax76]

I'll run some tests today and see if I can reproduce it. Are there people that can confirm that it's working correctly on their system?

[NikosD]

Nice job with the progress bar.

Great experience working with StaxRip.

Thanks for the update.

[burfadel]

I notice the progress update only occurs at each 0.1 percent intervals now, previously the frames counted in between each 0.1 percentage increase.

Guys,

I really would like to try the fdkaac. Can someone teach us how to install the encoder? Preferably something that has been compiled already

I don't remember how it was before and when it was changed, the parsing code is simple, it reads the number before the percent character, the GUI is only refreshed if this number changes, keep in mind that additional parsing and drawing would use CPU time. There are some tools, I think it was eac3to and mkvtoolnix that have only 1 percent intervals, I can live with that.

I would bet real money that some number of releases back I was able to test AMD H.265 hardware encoding. I have been using the same PowerColor R9 380 video board since December 2016. I am now using a newer release of Windows 10 (build 16278) and a newer version of StaxRip. Now whenever I try to do an AMD H.265 encode I almost immediately get an error from VCEEncC 3.06 x64. The last line of the error window seems to give the relevant information: Failed to AMFCreateComponent: AMF_ENCODER_NOT_PRESENT, Finished with error in VCEEncC. I am also getting the same error on a newer PowerColor R9 380X Myst Edition board.

According to information I was able to ferret from the AMD website, both the R9 380 and R9 380X are Tonga generation boards and do have the H.265 encoder on board. According to HWInfo64, both boards show as Tonga.

Am I imagining things and that H.265 encoding never worked on the R9 380 boards? I distinctly remember my test cases because i remember the video board fans going to near full speed while the encode was running and then returning to normal speed once done.

What am I missing to make this all work?

Previously it used to refresh about every second, so you can see the frames go up even if the percentage didn't, which was good! It only refreshes now on each 0.1 percent increase. Over an encode that means 1000 refreshes, which doesn't sound bad. However, consider a movie that is 2 hours long and is 23.976 fps. The total number of frames is 23.976 * 60 (seconds in a minute) * 120 (minutes in 2 hours). Total number of frames is 172,627, so the refresh occuring 1000 times means once every ~172 frames. If you are encoding at 4 fps, it means the progress text will now only update once every ~43 seconds.

[NikosD]

I got some stalls on the progressive bar too.

Firstly I thought the encoding just stalled, but the GPU was working fully, so waiting a little more I saw a huge jump from 5% to 80% or something like that.

The truth is that I use StaxRip on batch mode, so I almost never monitor the whole process.

I just leave it to do its job.

@Khun_Doug

You can try to post on the vceenc tracker.

@burfadel

Turned out my custom control didn't repaint when the text property changes.


@Nikos

Maybe it's fixed in the new build.

"Shutdown" after encoding doesn't work

[stax76]

@VfBFan
@Magik Mark

I've made two tests, one on my Win 10 system and one on my Win 7 test system using vmware, on both systems I had standby time set to 5 Minutes and was running a 10 minute encode which successfully completed and successfully executed shutdown, the code for shutdown runs shutdown.exe, it's very simple and it wasn't much changed lately.

https://github.com/stax76/staxrip/bl...neral.vb#L1447

The code for standby prevention wasn't changed since very long. If it happens again please use the bug tracker and if possible click on the star (only few stars are missing for second most popular VB.NET project).

Resetting the template and filters helped

Can you also put progress bar in encoding audio streams? Thanks
