Had this happen too, thought it was related to closing the dgindex stats window, you can try dgindex 1.4.9 or projectx.

1.4.9 was replaced because somebody had problems with a certain source.

hi stax,

after copying the files from the network machine to my local machine i can use staxrip and dgindex ...

i´m getting some strange popups after the installation of the new beta: staxrip says that the avisynth plugin directory is in a unfortunate location (but it´s under programs\staxrip\)
then staxrip tries to copy the directory ...staxrip\settings\applications\avisynth plugins to
staxrip\settings\applications\avisynth plugins (the same ...) and fails
clicking on OK staxrip says that it changed the avisynth directory. "while running with admin rights, the location can be changed in the setting" (i´m admin)

what do you think?

The settings dir is within the programs dir, I'll have to make changes to make this impossible to happen. To workaround meanwhile, please close StaxRip, move the settings dir somewhere else, run StaxRip, it'll ask now for the location of the settings, point it to the new location.

resolution vs bitrate

Hi, I am ripping DVDs to 2 cds using xvid codec.

Since my size is fixed after the initial analysis I am trying lower
the resolution to imrprove the bitrate. But bitrate won't change.

I never run compression check.

Is bitrate is locked irrespective of changes in resolution.

Btw I am using latest staxrip build.

Thanks for any info.

Many thanks stax, I hope I'm not the only one to use this new feature.

@ Flexy

Are you refering to an error message? If so, this is correct, Staxrip cannot read from a DVD, you need to rip the files to your hard drive first.

When I've time and am not in the mids of coding something breaking the code, I upload requested changes often within a hour after they was requested. In order to make this easy I have a small application that automates everything, build the code, build the installer, upload everything to the server, copy the url to the clipboard, changing the website (version number for the auto update etc.). Releasing a stable StaxRip version with source code is a matter of one button click.

The url for unofficial builds is always the same. Sometimes these builds are more stable than official builds, sometimes less. The current unofficial build is fairly stable, the next one will have a couple of new features which always come with a lot refactoring so it'll be less stable.

I have a script to post images to forums, I just make a screenshot with greenshot pressing Alt+Print, it saves a image on the desktop, I right-click the image and select upload, it uploads the image and copies the url including forum markup to the clipboard.



Code:
Public Class MainClass
    <STAThread()> _
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Application.EnableVisualStyles()

        Try
            Using wc As New Net.WebClient
                Dim target = "://planetdvb.net/non_drupal/forum_images/"
                wc.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("********", "********")

                Dim s = ""

                For Each i In EnvironmentHelp.GetArgs
                    s += "[IMG]" + "http" + target + i.Path.Name + "[/IMG]" + CrLf
                    wc.UploadFile(New Uri("ftp" + target + i.Path.Name), i)
                Next

                Clipboard.SetText(s)
            End Using
        Catch ex As Exception
            Msg.Show(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

Only from the shell (cmdl, d&d), if it's too much of a pain I can bring the text box shortcut back making a setting to activate the shortcut. I had to change it because some user might not notice the 'wizard' and thus not notice the batch features.

This applies not only to StaxRip but to any software, not every request makes sense so I have to understand first what exactly you are trying to achieve.

No problem, I liked the shortcut too, you can use a unofficial build which has a setting to reenable it.

The build has a lot code changed but not thoroughly tested so please take care, especially the 2 latest entries (at the top) in the changelog.

lastest x264 build on x264.nl has info for AQ parameters in --help
maybe you could add them to the command line presets or in the gui?

Code:
--aq-mode <integer>     How AQ distributes bits [2]
                                  - 0: Disabled
                                  - 1: Avoid moving bits between frames
                                  - 2: Move bits between frames
--aq-strength <float>   Reduces blocking and blurring in flat and textured areas. [1.0]
                                  - 0.5: weak AQ
                                  - 1.5: strong AQ

stax, from the videohelp software description:

"With StaxRip you can easily convert your DVD's ..."

As well as emphasis on the word "RIP"

[I am talking not about ripping tho, but just reading normal VOBs off a non-encrypted DVD.]
How can you state "With StaxRip you can easily convert your DVDs.." if i am not even able to read/access a simple VOB off a DVD?

If staxrip now (for some bizarre reason) requires me to first copy all the VOBs to HD and only is able to read them from HD...this totally eludes me and i dont understand the sense of this at all!

Add: For clarification: I tried to read-in some VOBs and convert a DVD to Xvid/H264, some really, really basic task. But i got this error message that staxrip cannot read right off DVD <---?!?!!?
