StaxRip

[DMD]

Good evening.
It is the first time I'm using this magnificent tool, i kindly ask where I can find a guide to set StaxRip to perform encoding for UHD files with codec HEVC and profile Main10High@L5.1
Thank you very much

How are the maintainers doing? Seems like StaxRip has stalled and died development wise.

[DMD]

Good morning.
In the X265 section there is a way to disable Encodind Setting, so that it does not appear in Medianfo?
Thank you very much

It does certainly seem like development has "died"...

"Staxrip" has gone off in another direction, and is developing other app's.

"JKyle" (who was doing a LOT of work), has disappeared, his last post was back in early July '21.

The latest release was back in early October '21. v2.10.0, by "Dendraspis"

Same can be said for RipBot264, there has been a serious lack of updates, or revisions, in what seems like years (but it's probably only about 1)

So sad, too bad

Look under bitstream for "info" and disabled it.
Then you see in the line --no-info and you have no info about your encoding settings.

[DMD]

Thank you for the information.
I tried to do an encoding test UHD, with Intel Core i5 9600K/GeForce RTX 2070 VG258,
with Preset "Very slow" I get a processing of 0.15 fps, with preset "Medium"> (1.56 fps).
I feel like crying, I don't know if I cry less with Ryxen 9 5900X.

Very slow offers little benefit in x265. Use either slower or slow.

I am using qaac and normalize. Where is it passing the gain information here, I don't see it.

I see it finds it in Find Gain but when does it pass it to the encoding or even flac?

I have installed fillborders and AWB_Kelvin using ShiftCCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) function in AVS filters - profiles. Both are working.

Now for the tricky part.

Using vdub2 avisynth i have a set of trim commands

Trim(0,18416)
Trim(18417,20223).ShiftCCT(7700)
Trim(20224,81096)
Trim(81097,81223).ShiftCCT(7700).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255)
Trim(81224,81311)
Trim(81312,86070).ShiftCCT(7700).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255)
Trim(86071,131324)
Trim(131325,136269).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(136270,151079)
Trim(151080,156603).Levels(0, 1.05, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(156604,159596)
Trim(159597,168204).ShiftCCT(8700).Levels(0, 1.05, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(168205,175366)
Trim(175367,184808).ShiftCCT(7700)
Trim(184809,192795)

When i tried to do it in staxrip in one of the avs filters box, it crashed with stack overflow error blah blah.

OverflowException (v2.8.0)

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

It seems i can't use Trim(18417,20223).ShiftCCT(7700) or
Trim(18417,20223)
ShiftCCT(7700)
in one box but
Trim(18417,20223)
another box
ShiftCCT(7700) works.

Is there a way of doing the same or similar to vdub2?
I don't thinks it is practical to do 28 boxes plus other boxes.

Hello, since SVT-AV1 v0.8.7-363 build the following warning appears:

"[SVT-Warning]: --keyint is now intra-period + 1!"

I would like to ask you to test the StaxRip SVT-AV1 encoder Options cmd and GUI settings for upcoming releases.

Thank you

edit: SVT-AV1 0.9 stable was released. Please find all changes for staxrip on gitlab:

https://gitlab.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1/-/releases

Today I noticed that I am updating the x265 encoder x265-3.5+21+12-cb341a7ef-[Mod-by-Patman] is this the correct version for StaxRip?
Thank you

[lazyjss]

Using staxrip x265 to encode some bluray remuxs, after a 2 day long encode, mediainfo shows resulting file as variable frane rate 23.976 instead of constant.
Could anyone tell me how to set a constant frane rate please?

Hi. I've been a long time lurker.

Created an account to ask about the development of StaxRip.
I've noticed that development kind of died, and the project coders are ASAP as far as anybody knows.
I've check here, discord and reddit, and haven't been able to find what has happened.

I'd like to ask seasoned StaxRip users, would the outdated-"ness" of this program eventually render it obsolete? If so, would Handbrake be a viable alternative?
Or would it remain in time?

[shodan5000]

Well, anyone else interested in maintaining StaxRip?

[Zcehtro]

I believe a major concern when using StaxRip, is maintaining the plugins/apps/tools up to date, and therefore the GUI that operates their parameters as well.

Regarding the application functionality and features in itself, it should be only secondary if the main objective is to at least keep the project alive.

I'd love to help out, but my coding experience is mainly in VBA with Excel. At best I write simple AVS scripts but nothing advanced like from the legendary Didée.

[Magik Mark]

Guys,

In the event nobody wants to maintain staxrip, will Adobe media encoder do a great job in converting x264 to x265? Will it also capable converting different audio formats to aac?

Thanks

In case anyone wants to update their portable Vapoursynth from R54 to R55 there is a maintenance release that works fine with Staxrip 2.10.

https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapou...s/tag/R55-API3

Download the 64bit portable version and unzip in to staxrip\Apps\FrameServer\VapourSynth\.

There is a compatibility issue with R55, checkout the following commit:

There are 2 builds of R55.

The one I'm talking about is a maintenance release. vs.get_core() still works so compatible with Staxrip.

https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapou...s/tag/R55-API3

This is the one you are referencing. vs.get_core() has been replaced with vs.core and doesn't work with Staxrip.

I see, thanks for the tip.
