If you mean video files, then it is not important - this crash happens on program load (I didn't even configure anything - just unzipped and tried to start application).

How do i enable Multithreaded XviD in staxrip? have been googeling for a long time with no luck :/

[-TiLT-]

Have avisynth MT installed and add

MT Mode 2 = SetMTMode(2)

in the Misc section of your filter preferences.

Place MT Mode 2 directly after the source line.

I have a great mystery going on here. I am seeing jagged edges on a 720 x 400 Xvid encode but I can't figure out why. I've used 2 sources, one of them progressive so its not a deinterlacing issue. I can encode a small clip of the file or the whole movie without audio and the problem isn't there. It consistently shows up when I try to encode the whole movie with audio. It almost looks like the resolution is way lower than it should be. I only see this on my Phillips DVP-3140 player, not on the PC. This means the player is seeing something different between the files but what? If I'm allowed to post pictures here, I could take one with my camera. I tried vidcaps in Media Player Classic and there is no difference.

My OS is Windows XP Pro 32 bits. I have tried several versions of staxrip (1.1.8 beta etc) but I get the same error... I tried to encode an AVC ts file.

Any ideas where is the problem?

Do you have Avisynth installed?
And can you open the ts file in windows media player?
And can you open the ts file in VLC?

Try both!

And I have a question for the coders here.
If you open the x264.vb file and go to the line: Sub ApplyDefaults(ByVal profileTunePreset As x264Params)
You see all kinds of presets for x264, now I want to make my own preset but I don't know what I need to put in it and what not.
Right now I'm using this command line:
"""%application:x264%"" --pass 1 --bitrate %video_bitrate% --stats ""%working_dir%%target_name%.stats"" --threads auto --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --bframes 3 --me dia --subme 1 --partitions none --output NUL ""%avs_file%""" + CrLf + """%application:x264%"" --pass 2 --bitrate %video_bitrate% --stats ""%working_dir%%target_name%.stats"" --threads auto --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --ref 3 --bframes 3 --weightb --subme 6 --trellis 1 --8x8dct --output ""%encoder_out_file%"" ""%avs_file%"""

Someone here that can help me to create the preset thats using these settings?

I have Avisynth installed and the ts file plays fine with VLC.

But does it play in Windows Media Player?
If not I think I know how to fix that.

[w4tt4n4b3]

"The selected file has an extension that is not recognised by Windows Media player..." then I proceed to playback the file but it does not play with WMP.

Ok try this, I do this based on VLC 1.1.8

• Start VLC
• Media > Advanced Open File
• Add > Search for your file, in your case 2011_3_25_3_25_29.TS > Open
• Right to the Plat button you have a pulldown menu, select Stream
• Next
• Add > Browse > put a filename here for your new .ts file > Save
• Deselect Activate transcoding
• Now we need to select the right profile.
• If it is a AVC file select Video - H.264 + AAC (TS)
• If it is a MPEG2 file select Video - MPEG-2 + MPGA (TS)
• Next
• Activate Stream all elementary streams
• Stream

Now try to open this new .ts file with Staxrip.

[w4tt4n4b3]

the new ts file has size of 30,5 mb while the original had 66mb size. I tried a different ts file than the one I posted.

I get errors again mate...
Now even if I don't load any file in StaxRip when I right click on the Filters area of Staxrip gui I get an error again. See the attached image.

thank you for your help though.

I've moved over to Staxrip from the excellent HDConverttoX(project appears to be finished?) and must say I am very impressed. There was an Avisynth filter I used in HDC and got marvellous results with every avi encoding: SoftSharpen(preset="film") I tried to isolate it, but could not find it in the filter folder(maybe part of a package of scripts?), as I would really like to use it with Staxrip.

The results using this filter combined with hq3dn_denoise filter with Xvid encodings were quite startling and deserve to be in the options of Staxrip.

You can add as many filters as you like in Staxrip. Perhaps an easy way is to copy the HDC filters folder(from the application folder you installed HDC to) and paste them into your c:\programs\avisynth\plugins folder.

You can then simply edit your profiles in staxrip to add as many filters in as many configurations as you like.

[datauser]

Excellent idea! I'm really glad I posted here, as people give superb practical tips which at the time you never seem to think of yourself when struggling for a solution. I originally wrongly thought you would have to place the filters directly into the Staxrip avisynth plugin folder rather than AviSynth's own program folder installed in the system.

You wouldn't have any additional user friendly tutorial handy on editing avisynth profiles specifically in Staxrip would you as I am newish to it? I found one below and it mentions plugins:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...ding_directory

I found the script for SoftSharpen 7.8(after opening in notepad) and apparently it is a list of tools, so it will be a bit trickier to make the profile. Incidentally I see Fluxsmooth is in Staxrip. I could never get that one to work in HDC as it kept crashing, but it works fine in Staxrip. I used to use Fairusewizard 2.11b after AutoGK. FUW produces good quality, but could do with additional filters built in like the avisynth denoise ones and AutoGK is dated now. Thankyou very much for your help flebber.

[fabje]

Is it possible to use CoreAVC with Staxrip, and if so how?
What do I need to do on my system and in Staxrip to get it working?

[datauser]

I added to my chosen plugins in editing of profile:

[Additional]
Advanced | SoftSharpen = SoftSharpen(preset="film")

The avi 2 pass Xvid transcoded/encoded well and the Aviscript in temp files showed this editing of mine to the profile, but how do I really know it worked 100%, is the real question?

Encode your video (or a sample) twice. once with, once without the filter, and look at it? :-D

[Pulp Catalyst]

any solution on the SUB issue "I've found that Staxrip 1.1.7.0 won't automatically rip the subtitles if you change the default Temp Files Directory. "

i have changed my temp directory, had no choice, my C drive is only 12GB, i have other drives for my video, films, music, pictures and games etc.

(not sure if NTFSLink (junction point) will work), will have to try that out now i think about it.

if anyone could share some light on this however....appreciate it.

I have no problems with temp; i have StaxRip on D partition, movie for rip also, temp is where movie directory is (as default).
