How can we encode and have 3 audio tracks?

Update: never mind. I see multiple audio tracks are implemented. In the container I thought you could only add and mux audio. But you can actually also encode there. Thank you.

Here is a machine translation of a beginner-friendly guide, originally authored by Doom9 member Brother John.

The translation process was easier than a thought it would, but I think the result is already good.

Some things are not yet up-to-date.

I've updated the staxrip wiki, so people can find it. Native speakers helping to update it would be very helpful.

Changed PC today, now with Windows 11 instead of Windows 10.

Now, mp4 files re-encoded with VideoRedo won't load in StaxRip.

Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, did you re-install this:-

After all, that error msg is for this

Hi TDS,

Yes, I did. All of them.

[WarnerBrah]

so I have this line loaded into stax vapoursynth

"clip = havsfunc.SMDegrain(clip, tr=2, Str=1.5, pel=1, search=3, prefilter=6, thSAD=180, contrasharp=True, truemotion=False, RefineMotion=True, chroma=False, plane=0)"

what i want is to enter more parameters for the prefilter=6 which is BM3DCUDA.

how do i do that?

I would think it would be as simple as adding what you want to that "call".

eg:-

(clip,tr=8,thSAD=800,thSADC=400,thSCD1=400,thSCD2=130,contrasharp=true,prefilter=6,str=1.2,refinemotion=true,blksize=8)

[WarnerBrah]

well the call puts the parameters for SMDegrain and not for the prefilter.

the syntax for BM3DCUDA is like this:

BM3D_CUDA (clip, clip "ref", float[] "sigma", int[] "block_step", int[] "bm_range", int "radius", int[] "ps_num", int[] "ps_range", bool "chroma", int "device_id", bool "fast", int "extractor_exp")

but I don't understand how to integrate this parameters into the SMDegrain line.

Examples
DGSource("sample.dgi")
ConvertBits(bits=32)
BM3D_CUDA(sigma=0.5, radius=2)
BM3D_VAggregate(radius=2)
ConvertBits(bits=16)


the example is from http://avisynth.nl/index.php/BM3DCUDA

As I don't use Staxrip, I can't relate that well, and there isn't as much help here, these days.

However, maybe you could try something like this :-

pre=BM3D_CUDA(sigma=5,radius=1)
SMDegrain(tr=4,thSAD=400,thSADC=200,thSCD1=400,thSCD2=130,contrasharp=true,prefilter=pre,str=1.2,refinemotion=true)

Is StaxRIP still being worked on? There are new features in Rigaya NVenc that may need to be incorporated as well as updates on many plugins

It almost seems like ongoing development of Staxrip has stalled, there hasn't been a new build for quite some time.

Same goes for Handbrake, last build was way back in Jan '22.

And not that too many seem to use RipBot264, it's also pretty much stalled, too.

Edit:- got a substantial RipBot264 update today

Good morning
Regarding AV1 encoding will it be implemented on StaxRip?
Thank you

Have you heard of this ??

https://github.com/cdgriffith/FastFl...ases/tag/5.0.0

[Emulgator]

AV1 is already in Staxrip (2.13.0): AOMEnc, Rav1e, SVT-AV1

[thomy21]

Is Staxrip still being further developed?

If all are really nice to stax76, Dendraspis, JKyle, and all the others I guess yes ;-)

Well, JKyle, (who was VERY involved with Staxrip, for a time), his last post on Doom9 was way back in August '21, and the last update for Staxrip was back in May '22, and there has been MANY updates to the components it uses, in that time.

So, unless you are "brave" enough to update it yourself, who knows what's going on, moving forward.

Sad, really, and it's not the only encoding app that seems to be "slipping behind"

Hi all,
I have some MP4 files that I want to remux into MKV
Mediainfo shows a content description in the General>Comment section in the MP4.
After remuxing that information is gone ...
Is there a way to copy that information over into the MKV with StaxRip?

I'd really like to know that as well. I took a look at some of its components last week, and a lot of them were outdated. While you can manually update the latest binaries for some stuff like FFMpeg, SVT-AV1, or AOMEnc, there's some stuff that seems to stop working with newer versions. VapourSynth, for example, is already on v61, but updating it manually from v54 seems to break things.

If the development has stopped and the author is no longer interested in (or capable of) updating the tool with new features, perhaps you could at least consider doing occasional across-the-board-component-update maintenance releases from now on, so the more casual users can at least get the performance benefits of encoder updates, newer FFMpeg features, and so on?

I want to encode a large .avi file (200GB, FICV) to x264.
The auto-selection for the source is FFVideoSource instead of AVISource.
The ffindex build time is too long.

In the case of .avi files is there any advantage to using FFVideoSource?
