Well, DivX does not work properly anmore. At least for me StaxRip fails to pass the correct bitrate on to the DivX 6.4 codec. DivX, Inc. obviously changed the CLI to incorporate the new encoding modes. Sigh.

I really hope that Stax will show up here some day with some small fixes.

Stax, if you read this: PLEAAASE!

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone with more experience can help me. Been toying with staxrip for a few weeks now, have had great success with my movies. The problem is I've been trying to use the ipod profile, but I can't seem to get it to work. I know there are specific limitations that the ipod has, but I assumed that was what the ipod profile was for. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about staxrip to be more specific. Could someone either point me in the right direction or possibly take a stab in the dark as to what is causing my problem?

As you can see..a huge difference in speed..I'm not sure why the first pass is so much faster on the X2..i know i forgot to put the second thread on in the first test..but that would have been using Hyper threading..and thats really only good for 1 or 2 frames more at best.
The second pass was more what i expected..just over double.

I use StaxRip with divx 6.4. However, I set StaxRip to use VirtualDub instead of VirtualDubMod.

It works for me.

It would help if you tell me what settings are you using with DivX 6.4 so I can try to reproduce the problem here.

I've not setted staxrip in particolar way.
I choose divx 6.4 first pass with multipass (1st)
and second pass with multipass(nth).
But nothin to do,the same error (video compression error -100) in vdubmod and also virtualdub!

I've tried to uninstall divx 6.4 and use divx 6.3...6.3 works!
So, for me and my system AMD dual core x2 4200 , divx 6.4 with starip doesnt work!

Any other ideas to solve the problem?

Thnks

Ohhhhh, you want that MAGICAL tool that breaks the very boundaries of Space and Time.

Got a question for ya..How exactly are you planning on transferring the Logo to the video without actually reencoding the video with the logo.

Oooo oooo i know...You can draw or stiick the logo onto your monitor where you want it and make sure the video is always in the right place.

Seriously dude..even Holywood folks have to reencode after they add special effects....They film the actors of Star wars in front of a blue or green screen, then they create the backdrops, then they mash the two together and run it through AGAIN in whatever cool editors they use..ok.
Cant be done..period.
Oh well unless of course your really good at using a hex editor and know exactly the right kind of code to enter into the video stream at a hex level.
Virtualdub will be your best bet to add a logo..but your gonna have to reencode it to make the logo apply.

If your talking about applying a logo to a video that has not been encoded yet..ie a vob file and a d2v file loaded into Staxrip..i think there is actually a way to add new filters into the filter box but the answer eludes me at the moment.

One of the other more learn-ed regulars might be of more help.

for a logo just add a filter to staxrip with code like this:

Import("d:\progs\riplogos\dek.avsi")
X=601
Y=62
clip=last
maskclip = ImageReader("d:\progs\riplogos\sbs6mask.bmp")
maskclip = Loop(maskclip, Framecount(clip))
dekafka(clip, maskclip, X, Y, maskclip.width, maskclip.height, 256)

ConvertToYv12()

logo = ImageSource("d:\progs\riplogos\sbs6.bmp")
Overlay (logo, X, Y,mask=logo, opacity=0.6)

i use this script to hide a existing logo and put a own logo over it (with transparancy).
for just adding a logo you can just use the last three rules.

but iv'e also a question about Staxrip, how can i rip a TS stream that has a sound stream larger than ~2,3gb in .wav format.

Staxrip use BeSweet to encode a mpa stream to wav format before it use the trim avisynth script.
But when it has a big wav stream it gives a error, the wav file is unreadable for vdub.

Is there a solution for this? maybe it's a option to intergrate the MPAsource avisyth 2.5 plugin for it (instead of WAVsource)?

I noticed on the AutoGK forum that len0x found that the pro (paid for version) of the 6.4 codec would work with AutoGK but the trial version would not. Could this be the same for StaxRip?

Profile for 5.5 G iPod (640 wide videos)?

I've managed to make some 640 pixel wide x264 videos for my new 80 GB iPod. However to do this I had to amend the StaxRip iPod profile. Specifically, I changed --level 1.3 to --level 30, and added --sar 1:1.

Additionally, I used the NicMP4Box modified version of MP4Box so that the MP4 files are iTunes 7 compliant.

I'm wondering how I can automate these changes so that StaxRip will create iTunes 7 / iPod 5.5G compliant 640 pixel wide MP4 files, without having to repeatedly change the x264 command line, and without having the manually run the different muxer?

Edit: One more question. Do I need to add something to my command line so that x264 doesn't ever exceed 1500 Kbps?

I know it's bad to reply to your own posts... but anyway:

I've added the VBV -maxrate 1500 switch so that my encodes don't exceed 1500 at any point (apparently this is the limit for the new iPod profile).

However, x264 complained that I did not set a "bufsize". Is that the -vbvbufsize switch? And if so, what should I set it to? I am doing 2 pass encoding, with the target set at 1000, and as I said before, the max set at 1500. The source is 640 x 384, cos this DVD happens to be 1.66:1 non-anamorphic.

[FEATURE REQUEST]
I would like StaxRip to be able to work directly from a DVD.
[REASON]
I cap TV using a DVD/HDD recorder - If I want to then make an avi of what I've captured using StaxRip, I first have to copy the vobs to my computer hard disk.
I fully understand why you don't want to activate reading from commercial DVDs, but can't you detect copy protection and allow direct encoding from a DVD source if protection is not present ?
[ACCOLADE]
Great software !!

TIA Clive
