StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

@stax76

you have done a tremendous amount of coding lately and it really shows StaxRip is simply amazing
if a break is what you need we StaxRip users truly understand the support you give us you deserve a much needed break

just dont forget to comeback cause StaxRip is stax76 it only keeps getting better cause of your coding gifts i'll be waiting for your return my friend

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

i will also let everyone that i know that loves your program to donate

@StaxRip Nation

Support StaxRip

[DodgeV83]

Is it still possible to set a target file size with Staxrip? I'm not seeing it with the new version, even after setting the encoding to 2-pass.

@DodgeV83

you dont see this?

There are two issues, first is it's not frame accurate since mkvmerge can only split at key frames, second is only split is done so you have to delete not needed output files and append needed output files (hopefully not hard with mmg) if multiple cut points were used. I think about doing the appending part too.

@all

I'm working on a thumbnail generation feature like the one in MPC-HC so if anybody wants it to support a particular feature now would be a good time to request it.

I know I keep saying this, but can you add watermark support? I think it would be a great feature that none of the other video software has, which will make staxrip more unique.
I finally figured out how to do this by adding a couple filters and download a plugin, but honestly its been a hassle trying to figure out which each line of code represents without a GUI.
I use this plugin here: http://neuron2.net/logo/logo.html
If you like, I can show you how I did it with staxrip. But I'm sure you can figure that out yourself

I am running 1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 x64 and no. I do not see this.

Edit: To be clear, I am also unable to view or change the bitrate field in your screenshot.

Thanks! I see it now, though it was probably because I ran that .net installation from the "READ THIS FIRST" .txt file...a bad assumption that a new Windows 7 installation would have this already installed.

Thanks again

@DodgeV83

glad it worked out

@stax76

Parameter | Bitrate By Percent
Sets the bitrate according to the compressibility.

i cant get StaxRip to apply anything but defaults
are 50% & 60% the only options?

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

a quality slider possible to adjust it's percentage?

It's always a good idea to take a break, and leave the computer for a while. See you later

Does anyone know if a 64 bit of staxrip is available or in the pipeline?

There is a workaround to use 64 bit x264, use Search This Thread seaching for workaround.

I don't have 2pass experience and I'm not sure if it would make sense so I would need a detailed description.

Are you saying installing this .NET version fixed the problem, I cannot imagine this, it would be a big issue since a lot people would run into it.

I know I keep saying this, but can you add watermark support?

Please use dedicated threads for anything uncommon like watermark, there are already more common issues than I can cope with.

[MuLTiTaSK]

@00mitpat

if you want to use a 64bit build of x264 with StaxRip follow this simple workaround

Download ->avs4x264.exe
rename avs4x264.exe to x264.exe
rename the 64bit x264.exe your using to x264_64.exe
place them in the same folder
x264.exe->x264_64.exe
continue using x64 builds of x264

@stax76




does'nt work with custom values i can only apply 50% & 60%
a little slider under quality percentage to adjust the % or maybe make it editable like size and bitrate have

[stax76]

@MuLTiTaSK

It works here and without detailed description I can't make any changes, the point of 2 pass is using a fixed file size so adjusting the file size according the quality is pointless, well maybe somebody can describe a scenario where it isn't pointless, for such a scenario I would need a detailed description.

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

2passes with a aimed quality is not pointless
it actually yields better results for me then just running a quick blinded -crf encode
i want control over my encoding process
i usally encode with a Aimed Quality percentage of 80-100 with -crf 17 being 100% quality
quality being the most important factor
after i run compressibility check i adjust the quality according to the compressibility of source
i encode my backups to quality then store my disks away simple does it

hello
I've been using staxrip since 2005 I believe
I'm very pleased with it, except one section
the audio
enocding audio has always been my problem
a couple of years ago, when on planetdvb, stax put the section [audio] in filters and nicaudio decoding
then somehow the code broke
now it has been partly fixed (when cutting, audiodub should go up in the avs, right after MPEG2Source, so as to get audio processing done right inside avisynth)

my question is: stax, why don't you implement stdout to encode audio and use avisynth's audio processing? on the fly conversion without intermediate files is the best way, isn't it?

keep up the good work
