@stax
Why not use StaxRip?

cause Transport streams are sometimes a litte bit tricky.
Ts/DVB is NOT mpeg standard.
In most cases you have problems with video/audio sync.
ProjektX and Cuttermaran are specialized tools for that.

So maybe it works also in Staxrip in the very most cases,
but using this two freeware tools it is the recommed procedure in the DVB-C comunity.
And: Never change a running......:)

sorry i meant i'am using 1.1.4.2 beta not 1.1.4.1:confused:

but is AVS in source filter possible?

Desaster Dan

15th January 2010, 19:51

multitask,
i had the same isssue whil my testing.
I't because staxrip don't find dgmultidecodenv.dll, and tries to use ffindex instead.
so check your path to dgmultidecodenv.dll. also possible you have a error in your script, (missin spaces, comma's etc.)

@MuLTiTaSK

I think there is a bug using ffms2 opening script as source file instead a normal source file.

@Desaster Dan

I have much experience with DVB since I'm using it since this crappy odsoft application and hardware decoder card. Even coded a DVB application with some special plugins. :D The ProjectX CLI was developed for StaxRip (it was called DVX 2002/2003 I think). Cutting with StaxRip never caused sync issues with DVB-S and DVB-C streams I've recorded. ATM I'm recording TS with DVBViewer and handle it directly with DGIndex, don't cause big sync issues so I'm skipping ProjectX, StaxRip still includes ProjectX but it's disabled now by default because it would ask for Java when it's enabled and some people don't need ProjectX.

I'm using DVBViewer for a long time, really the best, and very stable on my HTPC.

You are right, I tried it by my own, Staxrip overwrite the original .avs
you can restore it by loading the project file.

that's what i been doing but like stax76 said it seems like a bug

15th January 2010, 21:18

@MuLTiTaSK

What exactly did you try. Did you manually change the source filter to FFVideoSource and then open a avs file as source file, if so that don't seem to make much sense. Manually choosing FFVideoSource or any other source filter expects that the source filter can open the source file. In reality the source file gets often changed by the demuxers of course.

no i have filter source set to automatic when i try to open a script (.avs) StaxRip runs ffindex

@Havokdan

Did you just enter D:\ as temp files directory or did you use the file browser that would generate D:\%source_name% temp files

Please use the latter, next version will append this automatically.

plus the preview window does not open in center of screen always shift to the left and i have to adjust it to see it completely i have it set to open in center of screen

The bug with the subtitle filter still remains. I choose a Matroska file with h264, ac3 and ass and after the demuxing stage I add the subtitle filter "Textsub". Then I'll get 3 error messages saying that the arguments to "textsub()" are invalid. Looking at the Script reveals why: it only adds "TextSub()" without any arguments.

Another question: what's the reason for having several scripts like "filename_new.avs" and "filename_new_source.avs" etc.? Kind of confusing if you want to use the script with a different program.

Is there an easy way to remove old templates I have created. After toying with several different codec and filter settings I now have several templates I don't want to use. How can I delete them.

Is there a template manager I am missing ?

MuLTiTaSK

15th January 2010, 22:44

@flebber

there located in the templates folder search your computer for *.rip files and delete the ones you dont want anymore

template manger would be nice to have;)

Havokdan

15th January 2010, 22:49

stax76, Units C and E are hard drives. Drive A is floppy, Unit D belongs to the DVD recorder, I do not think you can add the D drive for temporary files, you must be either C or E. But it seemed to me one more question, if it was a question, I used the browser to indicate the "C" for temporary (remembering that the operating system is on drive E).

@MuLTiTaSK

Please explain me how to reproduce the ffms2 problem or send me a log file.

can you please add an option to resize the crop window

It's already resizable! What's bad with full screen?

plus the preview window does not open in center of screen always shift to the left and i have to adjust it to see it completely i have it set to open in center of screen

It's a bit difficult to fix but I'll try.

Another question: what's the reason for having several scripts like "filename_new.avs" and "filename_new_source.avs" etc.? Kind of confusing if you want to use the script with a different program.

_source.avs is used for:

1. determine framecount, framesize etc. of the source.
2. the script is shown in the crop dialog.

Some files are named after the source and some after the target since multiple jobs can be created from the same project.

Is there a template manager I am missing ?

No, you would delete them in explorer but it's easy to browse the folder, go to Tools > Directories > Templates

After you deleted them IIRC they are still in the menu but if you try to load one that doesn't exist any longer IIRC the menu is rebuilt. Maybe it's not perfect, I thought about it but didn't make any change so far.

@Havokdan

So the temp dir was ending with 'temp files' and it wasn't deleted even though the option was enabled, the log file was in the target dir?

open .avs script with StaxRip does it load fine or does it run ffindex on the script?

opening the crop editor with 1080p sources i cant access the preview slider cause the window fills the whole screen

open .avs script with StaxRip does it load fine or does it run ffindex on the script?

It don't run ffmsindex, I tried to reproduce it but so far couldn't, isn't there a log file you can mail me.

opening the crop editor with 1080p sources i cant access the preview slider cause the window fills the whole screen

That's a bug then because a window should always fit within the bounds of the working area.

@Havokdan

So the temp dir was ending with 'temp files' and it wasn't deleted even though the option was enabled, the log file was in the target dir?

Let's see, when the temporary folder in the hd is my operating system (Unit "E") they are not deleted after the end of the operation, even if this option is checked and the log in the temporary folder in this case.
Even when I set the temporary folder to "C" drive (NTFS - empty, no operating system), the folders are deleted and the log goes to target dir as you said.
For me this is no problem, but I found this strange behavior.

did a 2 pass coding last night, with the x264_64 workarround.

The result looks this way::confused:
http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5306/x264wrapper.png (http://img191.imageshack.us/i/x264wrapper.png/)

To crosscheck i muxxed the compcheck.h264 into mkv this morning.
This one looks normal.
what's that?

@Stax
Maybe it is a good idea to stick native x264_64 support inside Staxrip.

StaxRip wouldn't do anything different than what the workaround does. I don't have x64 so couldn't test it. Such issues are exactly the reason why it's not supported directly, higher potential for hard to track bugs, same issue with patched x264 builds.

i been running different projects and the errors seem to be related to DGIndexNV cause i havent been able to duplicate it with any of the other indexers hope that helps

The error handling was intended to be improved so if the source fails to load it will automatically try ffms2 without blocking which is useful for batch processing. There was a bug however causing this not working correctly not even showing a message about the error but only write it to the log file which finally gave me a idea what was happening. It applies to most errors, not only dgi.

@Havokdan

so was the temp dir ending with 'temp files', only then it gets deleted and using the file browser instead of manually entering always results in a 'temp files' ending.

16th January 2010, 15:53

with this workaround i'am noticing a speed increase of about 8% :scared: a very nice boost
maybe you can add a option for the user to choose what build to use x86 or x64 depending on there cpu then have StaxRip avs4x264.exe->x264.exe(x86) or avs4x264.exe->x264_64.exe(x64)

You have to use vfw4x264.exe instead of avs4x264.exe. If you use avs4x264.exe some videos look like the one from Desaster Dan. I can reproduce it with mpeg2 videos with DGDecode_mpeg2source. There is no know problem with vfw4x264 and even with the new x264 1391 build with no vfw input support (removed since 1379) it is still working.

2)rename vfw4x264.exe->x264.exe then place it in x264 folder

Usage
In order to use SVQ file just download it into "SVQ directory" set in MakeMKV preferences (on BD+ tab). MakeMKV will automatically pick-up the SVQ file and all discs that are enabled in SVQ file will start working. You must set "SVQ directory" in preferences, but you need to do it only once.
