Logging glitch?
A long-time annoyance for me and still apparently in 1.0.0.1 which I just installed: I open source files using DGindex, which demuxes the audio, produces a .d2v, and generates a .log file, after which the StaxRip window reappears. Sample:
---------- Preparing ---------- Preparer: Extract audio and index MPEG-2 using DGIndex Command line: "C:\Program Files\DGMPGDec\DGIndex.exe" -IF[D:\Legacy.ts] -IA=2 -FO=0 -YR=1 -TN=1 -OM=2 -DRC=2 -DSD=0 -DSA=0 -OF=[D:\Legacy] -exit Start time: 3:55:02 PM End time: 3:59:58 PM Duration: 00:04:56 But then I make some settings changes and Start the Job, and at the end a new .log file is generated and the original is over-written. Thus I lose the above info. Is this a bug or is there a setting somewhere that I've overlooked? |

why does staxrip write a first pass avi file in xvid mode? for further processing it just needs the .pass file, which is created while analyzing the first pass.
in x264 mode it does not do this, just creates the .stats file. Last edited by DocMAX; 8th November 2007 at 20:46. |

[quote]why does staxrip write a first pass avi file in xvid mode? for further processing it just needs the .pass file, which is created while analyzing the first pass.
in x264 mode it does not do this, just creates the .stats file./quote]Because in x264 mode it is explicitly specified that output stream is null. In xvid mode all encoding is handled by VDub+XviD(VFW). It is (probably) possible to add something like that into VDub script, but since generation of this script is hardcoded into StaxRip, you can't change anything... Quote:
On your audio problem: 'drops out' means 'disappears and never appears again' or 'disappears for a while'? Anyways, try to look at source file, at intermediate AAC audio output file (mp4), and compare this with what MeGUI produces. I don't know how MeGUI encodes audio. You could try encoding audio separately in MeGUI or BeHappy.

Getting really fustrated here...
I have had issues with .avi (Xvid/MP3) files that I'm trying to convert to .mp4 (X264/AAC). Most of them have the audio missing for the last minute or so. The audio is not out of sync, it just cuts off at the end. I have tried both .mp4 and .mkv containers. I have reformatted XP and even tried them on Vista. What can I do to try and troubleshoot this? |

As usual:
Code:
check intermediate AAC (before muxing). If this AAC cuts off at the end, then begin check source MP3 (before converting). If this MP3 cuts off at the end, then begin Raise exception - broken source file end else begin check MP3->AAC conversion procedure. Try using different converter (BeHappy, MeGUI internal converter, ffmpeg, etc). Try using partial conversion:not mp3->(besweet+nero)->aac, but mp3->(besweet)->wav->(nero)->aac Check intermediate results if no error found then begin Raise exception - unknown error: audio cuts off. Ask your system administrator or ask on Doom9.org forum to get support. end end end else begin check mp4box for errors. try newer/older version of mp4box if this does not helps, then begin Raise exception - fatal error: mp4box is broken, report to GPAC developers team end end

I can't believe I forgot this...
I had to change the settings in VirtualDubMod to NOT correct MPEG Layer III audio streams. That's why some were encoding fine and others not. Some videos had VBR MP3 audio and some did not. It has been so long since I wiped my system and re-installed everything from scratch that I forgot this simple little step. Didn't notice this until I viewed the intermediate audio file... Thanx LRN for pointing me in the right direction. |

x264 Lossless in staxrip produces 5x size file?
I was poking around on staxrip and noticed an x264 profile for lossless encoding. After reading up on it a bit I tried it on a test vob that was about 12 minutes long and 340MB in size. Stax is producing a file about 1.5GB in size at the end of encoding. Am I missing something here or do you think the settings are incorrect for the encoder? I figured at worst I'd get a file around 300MB but not this.

VOB (MPEG2) is lossy. x264 in lossless mode is lossless. Lossless codecs produce bigger files than lossy.
Example: try saving lossy JPEG (120 kilobytes) image as a lossless BMP image. No loss <-> no compression <-> bigger file size.

No problems.
And remember Wizard's Tenth Rule: "Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self". You should know better, Zorander

1) Is there any way we could add "ColorMatrix(hints=true)" to the Filters ?
2) Also, there seems to be a bug in the crop routine, opening the Crop window automatically Autocrops, but if you change one crop value, the file won't get cropped at all. Last edited by avdw; 15th November 2007 at 00:21. |

Crop issue sounds weird. This is normal use of Crop - use autocrop, then adjust the results. It worked for me every time i tried to use it...
