StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

[stax76]

Updated to 1.1.2.3b. I like the new layout and profiles, but forcefilm appears to be broken.

Maybe I broke something since I've changed something in relating code.

Also where it used to display anamorphic its now blank. Is this intentional?

You mean the checkbox? The first two menu items in the new menu are now responsible for this but usually it's auto detected properly.

@stax76

getting StaxRip to work with eac3to and tsMuxeR would be a great start

bluray should be around for a little while so StaxRip would be futureproof for all backups for some time

home made, tv, dvd, bluray you would have it all covered

so many dont know the potential of this amazing program YET
bluray media prices are so high backing them up to x264 is very important
even though there are other programs alot of people are still looking for a easier better smarter "solution" for the task
StaxRip will be the answer!

@stax76

i thought of some ideas for StaxRip dont know if its possible bare with me;)

opening another instance of StaxRip once jobs start encoding to create new jobs to the status window tray icon?

calling AvsP to open .avs script so i can tweak filters before adding it as a job?

[MuLTiTaSK]

Your links tell me, that it's not running well with MT. SetMTMode 5 and 6 are used for such badly running filters.

maybe reverting AviSynth back down to tsp's 2.5.7 MT mod (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=94996) would help i'am using Jeremy Duncan 2.5.8 MT mod (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144852) atm
i dont remember having these memory problems with 2.5.7 any reason not to use AviSynth 2.5.7?

[_DW_]

I don't have changed anything in this area but potentially any feature can break at any time.

.

Yeah, it's broke, but not a big deal.

By the way I have a buddy that has been looking over your shoulder. He says you are cleaning up the code and doing a damn good job of it. Thought I would pass that along.

SetMTMode 5/6 are used for plugins, which aren't working well when multithreaded, which is logical because fft3dgpu ist working on GPU.

Dear Stax,

I've been using your software for about 2 years now. And what a change it made for me! :D Thank you for all the work.

I think I came across a little bug in the latest beta. When I click something in the Filters area (let's say NOISE), the checkbox next to it dissapears. After I click on something else, that checkbox appears again, and the current one is lost.

Also, the selected encoding profile appears in the title (DivX Plus by default). Even if I change it to something else, the title remains the same.

Neither is very important, just cosmetics :)

No problem but I tried this too now and it also still worked. I don't spend much time with subtitles but please let me know if you have a idea what could cause the problem.


Hey, I think I've found the reason or the problem: unrecognised sub languages.

I've removed all languages but spanish with vobsubstrip 0.11 and now it works again.

Here are the languages i my idx file, some are quite uncommon:

It would be great if you could fix this to avoid vobsub stripping

Thx.:cool:

[alexcel]

Hi Stax

Just another suggestion

I usually rip my DVDs with DVD Decrypter and I create a chapter (ogg) file in the same dir as the vob file.

VTS_01 - Chapter Information - OGG.txt

It would be great to add an option to automatically add that chapter file into the mkv file

Thx again.:thanks:

[stax76]

Thanks everybody for the feedback, I've uploaded a new preview built including some fixes and hopefully not many new bugs.

Also, the selected encoding profile appears in the title (DivX Plus by default). Even if I change it to something else, the title remains the same.

The main window title shows the project/template name. ;)

opening another instance of StaxRip once jobs start encoding to create new jobs to the status window tray icon?

I'm not sure if you mean this but it's possible to start a second instance which can send created jobs to the first instance.

calling AvsP to open .avs script so i can tweak filters before adding it as a job?

It's hardly possible since StaxRip don't work with scripts as whole. You can reopen the script StaxRip generates as source file, this would however force to start with a fresh template.

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

thanks for the update

dont know if this a bug or not but StaxRip keeps crashing on me when starting a job
http://i48.tinypic.com/adm4oy.png

[stax76]

That's pretty much a worst case scenario since the managed exception handling fails and without managed stack trace I have little clue what's wrong. Are you sure it's not some filter causing it?

StaxRip encodes with no problems when i choose no audio but when i choose to include an audio track it crashes

also if i remove the audio track after i loaded it then save a template it loads the audio track when i reload the job

[minda76]

Hi stax76,

The new version does not detect correctly .ts files (VC-1). staxrip tries to demux and index them with project-x or dgindex. am i doing something wrong?

[stax76]

StaxRip encodes with no problems when i choose no audio but when i choose to include an audio track it crashes

Maybe it's related to BeSweet output being redirected to StaxRip. IIRC something like this was reported some time ago, does this only happen with the latest built?

also if i remove the audio track after i loaded it then save a template it loads the audio track when i reload the job

I'll fix it.

Does MediaInfo report 'VC-1' as format?

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

yes with lastest build only i dont remember having this problem in the past

[stax76]

I've changed audio encoding running in separate threads so both tracks encode in parallel, but it's a few versions back, in the latest built there is a new GUI for audio, old is still there but they share the same processing code and this code wasn't changed so right now I don't have a idea what could potentially could cause it. :(

[minda76]

Does MediaInfo report 'VC-1' as format?

Yes it does

[stax76]

OK, please try if it works now.

http://www.stax76.bplaced.net/files/applications/StaxRip/StaxRip.exe

[stax76]

@MuLTiTaSK

The null reference exception was caused by muxing audio instead of encoding so just muxing was broke in the last preview built.

[minda76]

OK, please try if it works now.

http://www.stax76.bplaced.net/files/applications/StaxRip/StaxRip.exe

Now it works, but autocrop doesn't

[stax76]

I've nothing changed there, I've tested a clip handled with DirectShowSource like VC-1 in TS would and auto crop has worked. Maybe you've tried a AVC file, DGAVCDec can cause auto crop to fail, in particular HD files.

tested with DirectShowSource, don't know why but autocrop works in TS with AVC and doesn't with VC-1. in MKV have no problems with VC-1. maybe it's a specific file.

[stax76]

It's probably related to the decoder, try to setup ffdshow to use wmv9 for VC-1.

Hi Stax,

About v1.1.2.4 preview,

The new audio profile editor is terrible confusing,

The vbr quality switch in lame (-V) goes from 0 to 9, being -V 0 the highest VBR quality (~260+Kbps) and -V 9 the lowest.
Previous versions of Staxrip follow this logic (-V 0 = highest quality, -V9 = lowest quality), now in this new version things are upside down, the GUI shows -V1 as the lowest quality (~32kbps) while it produce ~220Kbps audio, and in the other hand shows -V10 as the highest quality (320kbps) while it produce 32kbps audio, not to mention that apparently the swicth -V 0 (~260+kbps) cannot be used, neither modify the command line in any other way :(

http://i48.tinypic.com/jjqkhc.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/14dps9x.jpg

previous profile editor interface (good times :rolleyes:)
http://i46.tinypic.com/a1qttc.jpg

Otherwise, I don't know why but Staxrip crash when try to convert to any format (including recoding to xvid+mp3) the following file (a common avi, xvid+ac3), for worst it does not produce any log, just crash and close automatically.

http://depositfiles.com/files/a31ygzouo

[stax76]

@alexcel

Thanks for the files, I'll check it.

@Ryo94

The old interface is still there, the profiles in the advanced sub menu use it. I had to keep the old interface because some users might have setup custom profiles. It also gives flexibility being able to use any command line so I want to keep it since being able to use command lines was always supported everywhere in StaxRip.

For the new interface all codecs basically are used in the same way. AAC and Vorbis use 0 to 1 where 1 is high Quality. For Lame I could not do the same and I thought I can just multiply by 10, I did not notice it is also flipped. I'll flip it and make 0 available.

It's a bit difficult to merge all this in the same interface but on the other side having an independent interface for different codecs is probably worse both from developer and user view, firstly bloat and code duplication and secondly the user has to accustom to different interfaces instead of just one where everything is unified.

Otherwise, I don't know why but Staxrip crash when try to convert to any format (including recoding to xvid+mp3) the following file (a common avi, xvid+ac3), for worst it does not produce any log, just crash and close automatically.

Having no stack trace is very unfortunate, when exactly does it crash? Maybe you can also tell me in which version has it started?

Thanks for providing much detail and screenshots, makes it easier for me to understand problems.

[MuLTiTaSK]

@stax76

lastest preview fixed the bugs i reported :thanks:

cant wait for Blu-ray support one gui to rule them all

while other frontends prove to be rotten fruits StaxRip keeps getting better with time fine wine yes is indeed

your coding skills are amazing :eek:

keep up the great work buddy

[Ryo94]

Thanks for reply Stax,

The old interface is still there, the profiles in the advanced sub menu use it.

Sorry, I didn't see it :p thanks for keep them.

Having no stack trace is very unfortunate, when exactly does it crash? Maybe you can also tell me in which version has it started?

I tested it with v1.1.2.1, 1.1.2.2, 1.1.2.3 and 1.1.2.4 and it crash with all.
I could copy this from the log windows before it close, I hope it helps.

[burfadel]

In lame, -V x represents bitrate allocation, the lower the number the higher the bitrate allocation and hence quality.

HOWEVER :)

There is another setting that affects algorithm quality, again the lower the number the better.

The default is -q 5, however -q 2 (shortcutted to -h) produces better quality for the same bitrate, so would be beneficial to set as default. I don't believe there is any difference now between -q 0 and -q 2.

A good source for the latest LAME versions is here:

http://lame.bakerweb.biz/

I always use the latest build available there for my music encodes. Admittedly sometimes there isn't much changed between the automatic builds, but sometimes there can be some noticeable changes. The 3.99a1 builds with -V 4 and -q 0 produce very transparent results, the sound quality surprises people when compared to the same audio files often converted at higher bitrates.

--vbr new is the default setting now, setting that with recent builds is superfluous.

hi

Thanks for the info, I've updated lame to the latest stable, added -h and fixed the switches for abr and cbr since they were broke too. I cannot remove the new switch because it's not clear which mode BeSweet will use.
