StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

[Ryo94]

I've contacted them to fix the link. I've seen this crash countless times before due to bloody warez sites, they offer files like StaxRip_1.1.6.8_Portable.rar and inside is a different/older version, I have no idea if this is a scam maybe with modified code or if they are just dumb.

Probably 50/50 :D
BTW :thanks: for this new version.

Another thing regarding the PSP profiles, weightp can cause decoding problems in some cases with a certain amount of reference frames (I've seen this happen myself).

See this topic for more info:

@Stax

Hi Stax,

Regarding the (hardcoded) subtitles filter, especially when using .srt (VobSub).

These are by default inserted between the "Source" & "Field" filters, ain't it a better idea to add VobSub(.srt) subtitles at the end of the filters chain ?

[MikeTR]

Is it possible to change the targetfolder & filename in batchmode to group all encoded files in one folder with the filename(s) derived from the original foldername(s)? Seems to me that it should be posiible using some wildcard solution, but I can't get it figured out.

[stax76]

@Temuthril

Would just disabling weightp in the PSP profile be OK?

@Betsy

I've checked it, order was:

crop
srt
noise
resize
cut

I'm not well informed about what is the best position since I've little to no experience with hard coded subs. I guess the current code puts it after crop, looks like it's probably better to put in in front of resize.

I remember I made some change when I had added the new subtitle preview in the muxing dialog, before it was even worse probably.

The preview feature will take the filters, add the target DAR, the selected subtitle and the first audio file and plays everything in the media player to check if video, audio and subtitles are all in sync.

@MikeTR

Did you try the options in the Options dialog under Paths. There is a 'Default Target Directory' option where you can define a directory with a folder browser (new Vista folder browser :) ) and a 'Default Target Name' option where you can use the %source_dir_name% macro, you can add this macro choosing 'Name of source file directory' from the drop down menu, I've not tried your setup or any similar things since a long time so sorry if things don't work.

@all

I consider taking another break from StaxRip, a lot has been done in recent months that I think StaxRip is in a solid state currently, people who made a contribution to the video encoding community or made a donation or just use StaxRip since many years or show good technical understanding can always contact me by mail, I cannot always help every newbie on every 3 forums I visit, there are too many posts and mails everyday.

:stupid: duh..competely forgot ...been al long time since I checked out those options.
@stax76: any rest will be well deserved (though lamented maybe). Not counting (which I don't) the fixed java bug and this PBK-error, Staxrip hasn't let me down yet. Thats more than most programs can say.
Will it be possible to manually update x264 to newer versions? I tried it once myself but failed (maybe I used a wrong x264 version though).

[stax76]

It should be possible to replace most applications, even if I wouldn't release a new version for a year critical problems are not very likely. Many things are integrated in a generic customizable way, for instance command lines can be customized in case applications introduce breaking changes in the command line interface. DGDecNV had such a breaking change for instance, the difficult part is to find out why it don't work and how to fix it, that requires experience and technical understanding. In that case looking for the command line in the log file, executing the command line manually in a command shell and reading the command line documentation for DGIndexNV, finding out what's wrong with trial and error, knowing where the command line can be customized in StaxRip. When I'm not here people still help each other which is great, some even looking at the code to understand problems.

I've just committed the code since I've forgot it last release. In case somebody wants to take a look at the code it not difficult compared to something like MPC-HC. There is a download link on SourceForge so no need to use a svn to download the code, it should compile without problems with Visual Studio Express 2010 VB.NET and SharpDevelop beta, no need to setup a complicated build environment, some only has to put the applications dir to the output dir to run and debug it from the output dir.

Finding things in the code is very easy with a little bit experience, StaxRip is 8 years old so I've forgot a lot code myself and need to search and understand things. Besides code navigation with class browser, finding references and things one of the most effective methods finding code is still full ext search for captions found in the application or log file.

[Temuthril]

@Temuthril
Would just disabling weightp in the PSP profile be OK?That would probably be the best option, atleast on animated content 3 ref frames is more beneficial than weightp (according to Dark Shikari). I don't know how it works on other content.

EDIT: Another thing, files encoded with the ultrafast preset don't work on PSPs, probably because it disables CABAC. Files with --cabac in the command line do play correctly.
The following topic has some more info:

[Lighto]

Hey Stax, I have thought of some UI improvement that could be done.

It's possible to add in an option to disable minimize to tray as
Windows 7 taskbar sort of made minimize to tray obsolete.:o

Also it will be kind of neat to not allow multiple instance of StaxRip to be running at the same time.

[stax76]

@Temuthril

Please let me know when you find more issues, I'll fix it when I start coding again.

@Lighto

The first thing would probably be easy to add but not allowing multiple instances is a little bit problematic because of the startup time and little benefit it has. A second instance can run a job parallel to the first instance, it can also append jobs to the job list of the first instance. Only problem I see some can forget there is already a instance running, I think it happened once to me but it wasn't dramatic.

[Temuthril]

I found yet another thing regarding PSPs, apparently weighted b frames can rarely cause issues.

When I added --no-weightb to the command line the decoding errors disappeared.

[flebber]

Stax I was wondering if in a future version you could add the option into the audio config to have a "same as source" option for channel selection.

Didn't knew it could work that way.:o

Personally, I would prefer that the StaxRip window doesn't close but is just keep behind the log window.
I would like other folks using StaxRip to share their thought regarding this, I feel that this will shorten the time taken for the user to add in another job while StaxRip is encoding.
I am not saying it's significant or anything but I am sure this will save some clicks before the user can add another job.;)

I am no expert in this area but personally I would like to have the hardsub at the end of all the other video filters.

My thinking is that resizing after it have been hardsubbed would lower the visual quality of the sub.
There isn't a significant different in the preview window though.

I am not sure if my thinking is the same way as avisynth works but I see that MeGUI and RipBot264 places the hardsub filter at the end of the other video filters as well in the AVS Script.:o

[MikeTR]

...Staxrip hasn't let me down yet. Thats more than most programs can say.
I know I shouldn't have tempted fate....:rolleyes: Now I suddenly come across a more annoying Staxrip problem.
When batch encoding, the video and audio are way out of sync. Manual merging of the same temp files comes out just fine. So does an individual encode of the same source file(s). From what I can make out, in batch mode mkvmerge doesn't merge @ 24/1001 fps but probably at the 'original' framerate. I can reproduce this error with multiple NTSC sources, but PAL batch encodes work just fine.

UPDATE: comparing the logs, the only difference between the OK individual encode and the failed batch encode is in the mkvmerge section:
OK:
....
Original display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Standard : NTSC
....
FAILED:
....
Original display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 fps
Original frame rate : 23.976 fps
Standard : NTSC
....

[flebber]

Is your source selection set to automatic in Batch mode. If not what setting do you use, DGindexNV, mpegsource, FFsm2 etc

[MikeTR]

Didn't change any Batch settings as far as I know. Where to check to be sure?
Logfile for both shows same demux info:
------------------------------------------------------------
DGIndex - Demux audio and index MPEG-2
------------------------------------------------------------

"C:\ProgramData\StaxRip\Applications\DGMPGDec\DGIndex.exe" -i "C:\Temp\VTS_01_1.VOB" -ia 2 -fo 0 -yr 1 -tn 1 -om 2 -drc 2 -dsd 0 -dsa 0 -o "C:\Temp\VTS_01_1 temp files\VTS_01_1" -hide -exit

Demuxer: DGIndex - Demux audio and index MPEG-2

Start: 13:33:01
End: 13:33:09
Duration: 00:00:08

Strange thing is that I've batch encoded NTSC sources before without a problem. Temp files come out fine, so it seems that when merging the wrong framerate is selected somehouw.

[flebber]

can you post debug info for both or upload them somewhere, you probably are right that errors occurs with merge but why?

[MikeTR]

uploaded two log files here (b=batch &i=individually encoded)

[Ryo94]

I'm just wondering if the preview takes the change when the denoisers are enabled since I save a frame as bmp with and without the heavy denoiser applied and the pictures looks identical, with the rest of the filters (ie. deinterlacers, resizers) I see clearly the difference in preview but not with the denoisers. I'm using Staxrip 1.1.7.0 in Win7.

[fabje]

Someone here know if it is possible to get DGAVCDecDI to work with Staxrip?

[JarrettH]

I was wanting to use StaxRip, but it insists on using Java even if I go through and deselect/remove everything except for DGIndex...let me find that old post with the same issue...

ProjectX and Java are required even when disabled through preparation (MPEG2)

Also, could you update the first post to cut down on the number of redirects to download the software?

First post ---> stax76's place, click StaxRip ---> click Download at SourceForge ---> takes you to http://staxmedia.sourceforge.net/ ---> takes you to SourceForge project download page ---> Click to download

[Fidelix]

Well, even when i'm not in batch, video and audio is becoming out of sync. I dont know why.

EDIT: Video is out of sync. I tried muxing encoded video with original audio and it did not work.

EDIT 2: Using FFVideoSource makes the Video out of sync. Encoding the same file with DirectShowSource works fine, however, the provided version of BeSweet only outputs the first 2 seconds of the audio stream. Replacing it with a version from the author's site fixes the problem. Unfortunately, DirectShowSource does not work for all inputs.

I am using Staxrip 1.1.7. My OS is Windows 7 x64.

[albas]

Dunno if I am posting in the right place, but if I am not, please send me in the right direction.

I am running Staxrip 1.1.7.0 beta and I have the same problem in 1.1.6.9.

The problem arises when encoding large .ts files from a 1080i HDTV source to x264. I have tried with several different files which are about 1h 30m long and same problem every time:

Around 71,5 % (or around 100 000 frames) through the 1pass fps drops from about 25fps to somewhere around 2-3fps. At the same time my CPU load decreases from about 50% to about 5% and there is basically no load on any of the CPU cores. Same thing happens during 2pass only CPU load is initially higher.

It's been a while since I encoded large files and seem to remember that I didn't have the problem on version 1.1.6. Also, I don't have the problem with smaller files like 45 min long video. They are encoded in about 1 h 30 min or so while the 1h 30m long video took 14 hours to encode!! Using same x264 settings of course.

I am running windows 7 64bit and i7 CPU with 6 GB RAM.


Any help greatly appreciated.


Edit: Had ver. 1.1.6 still, changed back to that and it worked fine.

[Shinji-kun]

If my input audio is a demuxed AC3 track (PCM I think) from DVD and I select AAC as the audio codec, is this considered transcoding or regular encoding? I heard that transcoding of audio or video reduces the quality even more than an initial encode does. Basically are all AC3 tracks that come from R1 DVDs uncompressed? So encoding them is not considered transcoding?

[BlackSand]

Hi!

I'm trying to encode movie with parameter "zones" (x264) and after click start get this error:

[quote]StaxRip.ErrorAbortException: x264 failed with exit code -1073741515

just convert it to a lossless wav then encode to a lossy format. ac3 (dolby digital) is a lossy format.
and yes transcoding does reduce quality so please follow the first line i just typed.

tried to convert some films with Staxrip 1.1.7.0 ASP DivX (8.0 - 8.1.2) all lead to BSOD "IQRL driver not equal" something like that,

anyway went back to DivX 7.2.2 (not sure why but Stax causes BSOD when working with all versions of DivX 8 ASP mode)

could be a many reasons what's causing it, could be divx problem, could be a problem with my system.... who can say,

but DivX 7.2.2 (which is Codec 6.9.1 works fine)

i tried version 8 because i wanted the 6.9.1 update too 6.9.2 but downgraded again because of the BSOD problems.

the annoying thing is that the 6.9.1 divx codec keeps wanting to update to 6.9.2 (something about HD), only it doesn't download a small update, but rather downloads version 8 bundle, a message about an update from 6.9.1 too 6.9.2 seems simple enough, but then to have an entire upgrade package downloaded attempting to upgrade 7 to 8 is very....... "i don't have the word for it"....... but doesn't seem right that's for sure.

anyway i contemplated weather to post this or not..... i finally thought it would be best too share my experience, just in case there is an issue with Stax and version 8 of DivX ASP.


question....

if my codec is 6.9.1 (DivX 7.2.2 bundle) why does the 1st pass and 2nd pass options in staxrip bring up a divx config page that show's 6.8 at the top and not 6.9 as it should?
is this a DivX issue or Stax issue?

because it appears that i have divx 6.8 installed going by that config page (which is quite worrisome)?

[Shinji-kun]

How can I convert it to a lossless WAV? I have tried to use the "Demux AC3 to WAV" audio option in DGIndex and it hasn't worked once. Can BeLight convert the audio to a lossless WAV.

Simply encoding to x264 with no audio and then muxing the demuxed AC3 track sounds more straightforward.

You can create a wav quality 1.00 full quality in the audio config.

However my advice is to load your file and for your audio option choose jut mux which means it will just mux in original file with your encoded x264. Sounds like what you want.

[Pulp Catalyst]

just converted some films i ripped, PAL cartoons,


ASP DivX MP3 96 ABR (the very best quality settings in DivX preset 10)
1075 mb per DVDRip volume, 12 volumes in total 3x4 DVD-5 (i know way to much, but i want the picture to look good even on a large TV)

everyone i done was fine, with really good quality however near the end of the volume of each AVI, there is audio video sync problems,

the 1st 50 minutes is fine, but then audio becomes out of sync, and the out of sync increases from 1.5 seconds to 8 seconds of out of sync near the end of the file,

i was bored and couldn't get a sleep needed something to watch and only had that to hand on my drive that was ok to watch but wouldn't keep me awake,
anyway that's how i found the problem, i will start from scratch and try the official release of staxrip and go from there and of course check the source as there could be a problem with the RIP,

i will post back on monday,


i will also try to rip to x264 too see if that changes anything (if only there were more x264 mainstream players i would move to x264)

[Pulp Catalyst]

OK, I have now confirmed what is happening,

Staxrip any version is causing the Auido out of sync,

I have checked the source and all is fine,

I think what is happening is that staxrip has determined that the video sync is -80ms out as it reports when checking, but that is the case only at the beginning,

the DVD volume has been ripped as a whole, but there are about 12 Cartoons in a volume, and the -80ms only applies to the 1st 7-10 cartoons, but then the audio sync changes, but staxrip has applied a global sync adjustment on the whole and not on each single cartoon,

i assume that this information is in the IFO files, because the source plays back fine on my PC, and on two different DVD players,

I'm now going to try FUW (Fairuse Wizard), FUW approaches projects with like AutoGK does, using Chains.

each chain will be treated as a separate project, and so will have there corrections on each one.
I'm thinking this will work, because the IFO contains these corrections already, and FUW will apply these corrections to each chain,

because Staxrip doesn't operate on a chain level, staxrip assumes the correction if found will apply to the whole, which of course is why i'm having trouble,

if this turns out to be true, than doing episode disks with staxrip could become very error prone,

I'm doing a quick encode with FUW now, will report back on the results, but the fact that FUW treats each Chain independently give me great optimism that it will work,

will post soon,


EDIT

FUW on accessing the DVD shows

Chain AR Duration Chapters Blah Blah Blah

11----4/3--1:34:05----12 This is the one that Staxrip grabs (DVD players also can use this but has the IFO to guide the player)


there are 12 more separate chains in this list, each one being a cartoon,


i will try two encodes, one using the 1:34:05 chain, and then do the other 12 chains as they are (separate)

see what happens,

[stax76]

You can try to create separate titles while ripping for instance with MakeMKV or DVD Decrypter IFO mode or PGCDemux. For DVD Decrypter and PGCDemux you might need AnyDVD or DVDfab Passkey or DVD43.

[Pulp Catalyst]

yeah, i was already aware of that, but i generally follow a single rule, never re-author a disk, it causes so many more possible areas of problems, i like using a Bit for Bit rip (baring any protection being removed of course)

i have found in the past that re-authored disks actually can cause more issues in there own right,
over at DVD-guide, i have helped so many people with problems which have been related to DVD's being ripped in movie mode..... asking a Ripper to strip and edit then re-author the disk can so easily break a DVD's functions (structure)

the only authoring system that i really trust is "Muxman" but even that can break a DVD but only the complex ones of course (the really complex ones),

in these situations, i think I'll just use a program that can access the DVD using the chain system, Like FUW and AutoGK to name a couple,


assuming of course this works, FUW is nearly finished, it may not even work....... gosh will i feel small LOL,

[Pulp Catalyst]

OK I can confirm that FUW worked fine when dealing with the individual chains, i can also confirm that when I chose the big chain in FUW, the same thing happened with FUW as it did with Staxrip (A/V sync problem)

so for reference,

on DVD's that have multiple episodes in a single chain.....

I'm not sure how to word what I wish to say,


.........
.....
...

if a DVD such as a cartoon DVD which doesn't have just one cartoon but has many, StaxRip will not look at the cartoons seperately, but rather decide what corrections need to be applied to the whole chain based on what it found at the beginning of the chain,

however if the cartoons in the middle of the chain suddenly required different corrections to be made, then staxrip would not know this and those corrections would not be made, leading to possible sound and video sync issues, which would get worse the further you get into the file produced by Staxrip,

although I feel this occurrence would be rare, in most cases DVD's have these corrections already applied to the video stream itself, so this problem i have experienced would not normally happen, the video audio correction would be the same throughout the chain,

i used fairuse wizard which like a few converters out there, can process the other chains found on the DVD, rather than the big chain which is just the single chains put into one, if the single chains can be treated individually, then each chain will be checked and have corrections done to each one,



NOTE
I have found the above very hard to explain, and I'm sure there are many here who can do explain better than me,

I give FULL PERMISSION to who ever to modify what I have written above, if they feel they can take what i have written and improve upon it,

[stax76]

MakeMKV is probably the most reliable way regarding sync issues, it can open both from DVD directly and from folder on the hard drive.

[Pulp Catalyst]

FUW worked fine for me, also for reference I did an encode with AutoGK, again worked fine, don't see the point in using a different ripper when clearly the Converter in question can deal with the issue I had, in situations like this I will just use a converter that can access a DVD on a Chain level, all cartoon DVD's for example I will use FUW in the future, no bother.

for me using a converter that can deal with this problem head on is the most reliable way, any converter that can access the DVD in question on a chain level will not have the above problem because the user can select the individual chains instead of the large chain being selected, don't see the need to solve this issue with an entire new Ripping program, fortunately there are a several converters out there that allow the user to access the DVD on that level, even old programs such as AutoGK can operate on a chain level, I feel this to be the better choice rather than introducing entirely new software to solve a problem that can obviously be dealt with by converters.

but in all honesty like i said above this is a rare problem, so not a major issue, but I will be aware of this issue now and choose accordingly in the future when dealing with cartoon DVD's.


thanks for your feedback,
and your program is wonderful, and is my number one choice, was FUW for over 3 years, but Staxrip has been my number one now for about 5 months, the AVS filter capabilities, and the choices available is amazing, dealing with PAL Interlace stuff, the VagueDenoiser Low is brilliant, but more importantly, the quality, FUW has always had unbelievable quality (ASP DivX/Xvid) but your program has been in my opinion the 1st that has rivalled FUW, but with the features that Staxrip has easily tips the balance.

but like so many only has the capability of two audio tracks, i love directors commentary, and sometimes the need for 3 (4 DC tracks in lord of the rings) or more would be a great luxury, but none seem to support that apart from MeGui in the open source selection i do believe,

thanks for letting me know about MakeMKV, i will try it out at some point, give it a test run, probably at Xmas (i always try new programs out every Xmas that comes with good recommendations from forums, and give them a run through, that's how i got on with Staxrip from last xmas) and come march there abouts Staxrip took the crown away from FUW (although FUW has dropped the bag over the last two years, not much development, but fortunately still getting fixes so no complaints from me LOL)

[willscarlett]

Hello Stax!
Nice work on staxrip, seems to be a good compromise between usability and necessary options. But I have some questions that i THINK have not been answered yet in this huge thread (which is not very helpful anymore with all that old posts concerning old versions and absolutely no structure. Please consider getting your own forum with sub-topics etc.!)

First question: Almost all Movies or Series I try to convert using staxrip come out delayed. DGIndex finds no or the wrong amount of delay. The thing is: the source files (VOB) are not delayed when i play them in vlc.
So I can only determine the right delay in vlc AFTER converting with staxrip and then use virtualdub to correct the delay, but i would like to save that extra time. Is there any possibility to check the synchronicity BEFORE I hit the "start" button?
When I enter a large delay, the audio-track gets yellow and there is a crippled help-text saying: "... to verify if audio and video are in sync you can right-click the filters menu and" and then the sentence ends. What does it say afterwards?
I already tried the option "play" because it seemed logical for a preview but that only opens vlc and nothing happens then. Can you help me on that one?

Question 2: How do I find out, which language in my IDX-file contains the subs that I need to understand the movie and thus have to be hardcoded (for example only the parts where the japanese mafia boss talks to someone on the phone in japanese and then returns to his conversation with the american police officer ;-) ). I thought only those were included in the IDX-file but I tried it now and had the full movie subtitled...

I think that was it for now. ;-) thanks in advance for your help!

[stax76]

@willscarlett

Welcome at doom9. :)

I point to this thread from various locations, people can post here or create new threads, vBulletin has a search feature called 'search this thread'.

Regarding the sync problem the assistant message already tells the most important things, I don't know why the message is cut on your system, I guess it happens on XP systems, the font size for this message was already reduced to make it fit, I've further reduced it now. The full message is:

The audio delay is unusual high, you might have to trim the beginning with DGIndex, demux with ProjectX or rip with MakeMKV. To verify if audio and video are in sync you can right-click the Filters menu and choose 'Play'.

The reason for the delay is often the DVD structure but it should only happen with few DVDs. From all methods I always recommend MakeMKV which is probably the most reliable and easiest way to deal with it, there are various other ways like demuxing with ProjectX or trimming with DGIndex, that will only work when no subtitles are needed.

There is another known delay issue, I think several threads on it exist, I think it has something to do with H.264 baseprofile and MP4 container so using the iPhone template might cause it, I'm not using MP4 output so I'm not well informed about the issue, first thing I would try here is updating x264 and mp4box.

the Play feature triggering VLC is problem since StaxRip opens the player associated with AVI assuming it's a DirectShow player able to play avs files, a workaround would have to be added.

Regarding forced subtitles, if there are any StaxRip should create a dedicated file containing '_Forced' in the filename, this will only work when Java is installed.

I hope you find a solution for the problems since for the most part I'm still taking a time off.

[willscarlett]

I already thought about the direct-show problem. So if i had a direct show player and ffdshow it would probably work ;-) But I don't like direct show, that's why i use vlc ^^

I send the disc (that i had ripped with the red fox) through makeMKV now and then everything went fine. Actually it is quite comfortable to work with makeMKV because you can deselect unnecessary tracks and subtitles right away and have episodes on the disc split by title. I wasn't sure about quality losses first but then i remembered that MKV is just a container... but for newbies it might be hard to understand why you suggest MakeMKV as ripper as it already produces directly playable files.
Thanx for the great tool!

Hi,

I have a bug, when try to encode this raw ts (http://salmon.gundam.eu/%5BElitist_Fags%5D_One_Piece__10-31_09-30-00_%28FUJI_TV_1440x1080_MPEG2_TS%29/)and some other of the same guy, staxrip don't demux good the audio.

I have to demux manualy with tsMuxeR for have it to work.

And one other thing, you talk there some week about subtitle position on filter section. For me i thinks it's better to put subtitle at the end, i use subtitle for cutted raw, if i cut the video before my sub, my sub isn't syncro i have to put after the cut.

At this time i can do manualy, that's not a prob, but i can't have a good preview with f5 because staxrip reload the cut before my sub...

I hope you understand what's i write.

Thanks for all

Recently started converting some of my DVDs to x264/AAC/MP4 and including subs in some of them, but I'm noticing that the subtitles only work up to the first 39 minutes or less, when I checked the .idx file created by VSRip the time stamp only goes up to the previous mentioned length. I'm ripping the DVDs with DVD Decrypter IFO mode into a single VOB + IFO and chapters, is there something that I'm doing wrong on the ripping process or another step that I'm missing?

VSRip and VobSub often fail, ripping with MakeMKV usually works better.

[stax76]

I ignore most posts except sometimes some easy to answer because I'm mostly taking a time out, I started this a few weeks back and continue a few months minimum, sorry about your problem, I hope I can help when I'm fully back.

Hello,

I've a problem when I use the Besweet encoder to transform a wav file in ogg file. At the end of the encoded file I've got a little cracky noise. When I encode with ffmpeg the same file I've no issue.
I would like to use an other encoder than ffmpeg because:
* There's is no de-dynamic option
* The navigation in the encoded file is slower (jump of 10 seconde for example) than with the besweet's file.

Is it possible to use oggenc2 with StaxRip?

Tank's a lot.

PS: Sorry for my english, I'm French.

See you later.
