StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

[Pulp Catalyst]

strange, i've never been able to get Stax to rip the Subs, subs has always been a issue for me and stax for a good length of time now..... come to think of it, i don't recall Stax ever working with subs.......

[Pulp Catalyst]

noticed a new problem, staxrip has detected a audio delay of 7639ms, checked in virtual dub mod, there is no delay of anykind,

how do i override stax, and tell it to do a 0ms delay?

a DVDRip ISO mounted in Daemon tools (Startrek TNG season 3 disk 5)

!1st time it's happened, 60% through Voyager, 35% done with DS9, and doing TNG!

oWas this a question you needed help with?

Hi, no it was something I ran in to when I was looking at the filters when I was looking for its readme, but you could advise me on something if you would please? I managed to work out things superbly with the SoftSharpen using below script:

[Additional]
Advanced | SoftSharpen = SoftSharpen(preset="film")

Therefore decided to advance onto a little Fluxsmooth experimentation. The medium noise setting has a setting of (4) and heavy(8), so my question is: is it possible for me to insert it as (6) ands work okay for a stronger but not heavy effect? The advanced are again exactly the same settings for FluxsmoothT in filter menu.

The readme info says the default is ("confusingly") for a temporal threshold 7, so I have no idea what the 4 or 8 means! Thanks again flebber .

[flebber]

@ datauser

forgot to mention I don't use fluxsmooth T or St very often if at all.

My most preferred basic filter is FFT3GPU. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89941&highlight=fft3gpu

Here are a few other basic ones, note dfftest is a good quality filter for me but also very slow.

dfttest = dfttest()
FFT3GPU = FFT3DGPU(sigma=3.5)
SmoothD_Detail = SmoothD(2,5,0,4)
TBilateral = TBilateral(sDevL=1.1, sDevC=1.1, iDevL=5.0, iDevC=5.0)
VagueDenoiser = VagueDenoiser(threshold=2, nsteps=5)

[datauser]

Thanks Flebber. I most certainly wil now try out your variation of "SmoothD" script as I needed something to focus on detail. A lot of these scripts are touch and go until tested, but that is what makes it interesting. I tried FFT3D sigma = 2.5 and that was quite slow too, with good end result. MVDegrain3 was the slowest of them all for me, but gave some fantastic results on a problemtic video. Some users swear by FluxSmooth. I prefer Hqdn3d and eventually hope to get a script which works for me in Staxrip. Much appreciated.

good night..


does anybody know about moeg2source in windows 7 x64? i mean, staxrip just say failed to open the source, after that it tries to open with ffvideosource and nothing happend

[burfadel]

I've never had any problems with Staxrip in Windows 7 x64, and I've been using it since before Windows 7 actually came out :)

Mpegsource2 works fine, as does ffvideosource/ffmpegsource. Actually at the moment, I'm batch processing around 40 or so in parallel, two video files at a time whilst clearing a backlog of tv recorded stuff. Not only does Mpeg2source work flawlessly (its sill better for MPEG2 stuff than FFVideosource, which works but can be very sluggish in preview etc), but I've never had a problem with parallel encoding either. Its much better than trying to use an Avisynth MT version (instead using a recent Avisynth 2.60 build).

[madeinlisboa]

Please,

Staxrip always worked well, but suddenly I'm getting this error with every media file. I uninstalled .NET Framework completely and reinstalled with all patches, but it still crashes after analyzing a video. Please, can you help me?

can you post any error message or image with the message or can you post the list of ptoblems you have with staxrip?

by the way i recently notice that my dgdecode needs to be x64 and not x32, because i installed the avisynth x64 "update" and it changes the default avisynth plugins directory

[Gannjunior]

one error is (after I dragged an mpeg2 and after dgindex finished to indicize it)

"an error occurred that could be solved by installing ffdshow"

off course ffdshow is isntalled...

After that it appears this message:

that's extrange, i still have problems with stax, but yesterday i didn't

are you using ffdshow x64 or x32 and the same for avisynth and others decoders you have installed

or you have a codec pack?

[Pulp Catalyst]

i thought stax was only taking a break, where is the official word saying that development has "permanently" stopped ?

[Gannjunior]

tried both x32 and x64
avisynth x32 modified dll to use multicore...
no all in one codec pack, only the codec minimal to let everything work

[fantasmanegro]

mmmm nothing work, i've reinstalled every codec and still not working... i have no ideas right know....

[datauser]

And you:confused: are a close friend, have special privy information, a representative, know something we do not to say this etc when no statement of such kind has ever been issued here by Stax..???? Clarify please!:)

i have installed xvid4psps and staxrip started to work as always did, i guess it's yv12 decoder that xvid4psps installs... because i just disabled reinstall avisynth mt and nothing else

The same works on my USB drive. All the files are encoded correctly on NAS, it's only at the muxing that it fails.

I have compared the encoded files on NAS and USB and they are bit by bit the same.

I am wondering if anyone can offer help with my problem. When converting video for ipod/iphone and using mp4 as container, my video ends up freezing and blocky for a second or two during playback. This happens several times a minute, however just by changing the container to mkv everything is perfect.

My only issue is that I cannot play mkv on my ipod, I am dloading videos from youtube and replacing the audio tracks, then converting to mp4 for my ipod.

Is anyone familiar with what could be causing this? Any help is appreciated.

[fantasmanegro]

maybe its a decoder problem not muxer nor bad encoding. try to use ffdshow

stax76 is missing! avisynth 64bit support, an actully build (update tools) and an option to set forced sub's in mkv container config would be nice.

I have sorce file MPEG4/AVC with resolution 720x576 (4:3) and display aspect ratio 16:9.

@Baltyshark87

did u make sure that before u encoded, that u set the PAR to the equivalent to 16:9 ratio? select auto 16:9 or DAR 16:9 when setting the DAR/PAR. auto 16:9 usually does it for me.

lol stax76 did u jump ship? shame as ur program for me is still beast. have yet to hit an error other than audio encoding sometimes.

I thought Stax only went for a hiatus?

Yes i did. It is weird that when I convert it to mkv it displays it right. I have little example here and i would really appreciate if someone tries it for me and tells me where i made a mistake.

I am not an Expert, but I thought it would help if someone tried your example. My finding: The mpeg-file cannot be opened (on VLC and WMP, no additional codecs installed)

Just a wild guess, as i do not know too much about video encoding, but maybe you are combining the mpeg-container with an incompatible codec? I always thought XviD is meant to be put into an avi or mkv-container?

Where can I find an updated Staxrip?

latest codecs have nothing to do with staxrip you need ffdshow tryouts. http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/download.php

you mean, if I install FFDshow, staxrip will you the codecs in ffdshow?

[flebber]

@meshaun - are you having an issue with staxrip or trouble opening a media file?

[meshaun]

I have no issue.
I would like to use the latest codecs like xvid 1.3.1 or the latest x264 version.

so replacing the xvid encraw and the dll will do huh..
what about the x264? and the Megui profiles? can i import them or something?

As above you would do the same thing for doing x264 but with x264 obviously.

Staxrip already has built in profiles you don't need megui profiles. Megui is a good project in its own right if you like the profile system then use megui.

I installed xvid 1.3.1 as default with Staxrip and it works fine most of the time apart from occasional oversized files. If you install the latest build of xvid you should find it also now includes encraw.

Whether or not it has to be included in Stax app folder to work with it, I'm not too sure?

Bug noticed using MKV/MP4 s input sources. Big audio/synch issues after muxing. Obviously Staxrip is not allowing for mkv delay.

Hi everybody, I hope everybody is doing fine. I don't spend much time with computers, TV and Video these days. I can't tell about the future, as a sign of life I've updated some applications however:

1.1.7.1 beta (2011-05-22)

Updated MP4Box to version 0.4.6 that hopefully fixes sync problems
Updated ffms2 to version 2.15 mt
Updated x264 to version r1995
Updated mkvtoolnix to version 4.7.0
Fixed bug 'DTS Express' format not detected
Added option to modify existing cut selection, overlapping selections are merged

http://sourceforge.net/projects/staxmedia/

[Sharc]

When selecting Blu-Ray as device '--bluray-compat' should be added for x264 revision 1995. It will overwrite any other non-compliant global blu-ray settings.

I'll add it, thanks.

User who don't want to use DGDecNV, or can't use it because they have an AMD GPU etc, click on tools, settings, then demuxing on the left hand side and disable dgindexnv, otherwise you will be prompted for a licence file... I'm not saying dgdecnv isn't any good, just that you can only use it after paying $15 and its useless unless you have an Nvidia GPU.

just use ffms instead.

[burfadel]

I do :)

I just thought i'd let people know! For me anyway, it kept insisting the licence file wasn't present even thought dgdevnv wasn't anywhere in the avisynth chain (was using ffmpegsource). I had disabled it is 1.1.7.0, and when I copied the newer files over from 1.1.7.1 it set the demuxing options back to default (meaning dgdevnv is enabled under the demuxing options). It seems to insist on the dgdecnv being correct even if you aren't using it.
