StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

[M+AUDIO]

..
I tried to change it to crop only the sides like this:

Crop(%crop_left%,-%crop_right%)

But when I run that script, I get the following error:

Script error: Invalid arguments to function "Crop" (C:\Movies\Conversions\Test temp files\Test.avs, Line 7)
..
Any ideas on how to correct this?

Hello

those values like "%crop_left%" are StaxRip valuse i think and they are replaced in action (final AviSynth script) by values reported by autocrop function of StaxRip. (i think). the final syntax should be in this form : Crop(left,top,-right,-bottom)

So if you want to make a template for left and right only you can try something like this on your template:
Crop(%crop_left%,0,-%crop_right%,-0)

did you know how to make a template for this or (-;

Please. Staxrip don't see xvid. I proof installed xvid in Archivos de programas\Xvid, in Archivos de programas 64\Xvid but Staxrip in status put "The application has to be located at: Windows\system32.

http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa384/jms801/Sintiacutetulo1_zps64ac900b.png

Please. Could you help me with this problem.

Sorry muy bad english please.

Thanks!

[jms801]

Help me please!!

[manolito]

You can try the following:
When you are in this window you posted, press F11. This lets you change the location of the application.

If your Windows is a 64bit Version, the Xvid files should be in the folder Windows\Syswow64.



Good luck

:readfaq::)Whom do I contact about broken links in the Staxrip Wiki?

[datauser]

Yeah I noticed a few dodgy things relating to that too. Can't something like LAV filters do YV12 decoding?

Not sure on that at all. I reinstalled op system thinking something was screwed up and same issues occurred again. Helix seems to cause decoding conflicts in XP. Win 7 users of Staxrip may not experience same issues? These codecs are all very touch and go at times and can decimate a system. Evil!:devil:

Less is better, if any at all. Preferably none!:)

[manolito]

Sorry, I cannot reproduce these Helix related errors...:confused:

WinXP SP3, Helix YV12 codec has been installed forever. StaxRip 1.1.9.0 does not crash at all when I use ffdshow as the source filter for DVD sources.

As Stax already mentioned it is of course a bug that StaxRip insists on installing the Helix codec. ffdshow works fine without it. But most people who use StaxRip will also have XviD or DivX installed on their systems, and both of them already do provide a YV12 decoder, no need to install Helix additionally.

For the crashes you encounter I can only speculate. Bad version of ffdshow? I always use the version recommended by jdobbs for his BD-Rebuilder (see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1227473#post1227473 ), and make sure that MPEG2 decoding is enabled.

Other codecs getting in the way? For WinXP I always rely on FilMerit by Paul Glagla to make sure that my filter chain is not corrupt.

I have an MKV rip with DTS Master HD audio and I want to convert it to a DVD size rip with DTS. StaxRip is not splitting the audio nor the core DTS files.

Any pointers on how to proceed?

[datauser]

@Manolito 'bad version of ffdshow'

Maybe! I'll certainly look into that possibility as something is amiss. Thanks.

Hi all
i have a probleme with staxrip 1.1.1.0
in my pc at home work fine
but in another pc who have 64bit + CPU multi core send me an Error
x264 encoding failed
-------------------
probleme at the x264 Third Pass this is the log file

[dejong12]

I'd say try the newest version first (1.1.9.0), you're using a very old version.

[D9JK]

I'm having a bit of trouble merging these four clips together. I'm thinking it may be because one of the clips has no audio (audio recording was accidentally disabled in camera).

Clip1 = QTInput("0802 Haajuhla 1.MOV", audio = 0).AudioDub(WavSource("Silence.wav")).Trim(0,5290)
Clip2 = QTInput("0802 Haajuhla 2.MOV", audio = 1).Normalize()
Clip3 = QTInput("0802 Haajuhla 3.MOV", audio = 1).Normalize().Trim(0,20030)
Clip4 = QTInput("0802 Haajuhla 4.MOV", audio = 1).Normalize().Trim(0,13000)
Dissolve (Clip1, Clip2, Clip3, Clip4, 30)

Because the first clip has no audio, Virtualdub first didn't want to load the script, but I worked around the issue by inserting the "Silence.wav" using AudioDub(). With that working, I wanted to proceed using Staxrip. However, when I attempt to load the .AVS file into Staxrip, I'm seeing "audio=false" in the log file, and the final video file then has no audio in any of the four clips.

The log file also contains this:

Error opening source
------------------------------------------------------------
Unable to Open Movie, err=-50 :
H:\Pakkaamattomat\Process video B temp files\0802 Haajuhla 1.MOV
(H:\Pakkaamattomat\Process video B temp files\Process video B_Source.avs, line 3)

Despite the error message, the video stream looks good. But why would Staxrip not load the audio, if I can hear it in VirtualDub? What should I try to fix this?

Hi Stax...

I've been using StaxRip for years...great work, thanks! I am moving my setup to a new system. OS is Windows Server 2008 (64 bit). Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is installed.

I extracted the latest StaxRip into Programs folder. When I try to run it, it immediately fails. There is no startup screen to set locations of templates, etc. What is it looking for before that?

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 is installed...but not Microsoft Visual Basic...Do I need that?

Thanks,
Chris

UPDATE - I think I got it..

I found that some other things were not working either, so I found how to enable .NET framework 3.5.1 and Desktop Experience - I assume the Framework is the one that worked, but I did them both together, so...

Then I found this as am using Server 2008 as more of a workstation...it includes instructions for the above.

i have the same problem as you...

a workaround is to create an avsi loading yadif plugin and modify staxrip template to load the avsi instead of yadif plugin

[Google]

There's a glitch in StaxRip when using DGSource and DGDecNV to decode. When you load the video file (say a 1080i file), open the crop window and crop it the way you want, then add the values to the dgi file, StaxRip glitches and sets the video input resolution to something like 832/32 or another random values. Of course, this is absurd and usually not a possible resolution for an encode. I don't get the glitch too often, but it does happen at random times.

[someoneXgr]

Will there be x265 support for StaxRip?

[datauser]

Any news yet on a new version of Staxrip on horizon with bug fixes? Thanks.

[kotuwa]

Can we Use Different Titles when batch encoding MKVs....
Either using Wildcards, Variables or Filenames.... :confused:

I use Staxrip (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/StaxRip) to convert batch MKVs and I can create a template by giving a specific Title for MKV file... But then the same title applied to all files that uses the template....

Can we set it to use the file name in each file.... or similar solution?
Are there any MKVMerge (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix) switches to set titles from file names or .... :rolleyes:
.

[chrisgwd]

Hi,

I have a configuration problem with my computer and Staxrip. The PC is running Windows Server 2008 R2. I've had Staxrip working just fine for a year or so...but now it's not???

I am encoding blurays to .mkv. It looks like DGAVCIndex indexes properly, then x264 fails the process when loading to encode.

I can encode the same demuxed files on anther PC using staxrip.

I have demuxed content that I previously encoded using the same set-up that I can no longer encode.

So, I am pretty sure it has something to do with an operating system update or something similar, but I don't know where to look.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

[jse12]

Hey all, I'm trying to encode some PAL 576i Anime DVD's to x264, because the content on the disk was originally NTSC-J content the frame rate should be 23.976 instead of 25fps so when I do an encode I end up with Ghosting.

http://i.imgur.com/AtWDeXw.jpg <-- example of the ghosting.

So I'm trying to use FixBlendIVTC(post=3) to fix it, but it doesent seem to be working in staxrip, I get the error

"Script Error: There is no function named "FixBlendIVTC"
in T:\test temp files\test.avs line 11"

I have in my avisynth plugin directory the required dll's and FixBlendIVTC.avs, can some one help me get this to work?

Thanks in advance jse12

[Emulgator]

chrisgwd and maybe jse12:

I had a similar occasion where two .net 3.5 dependent applications
wouldn't start anymore after a recent Windows update (Win7U64).

A:Sony Vegas Pro10 32bit, but VegasPro 10 64bit works on the same machine.
B:Touchbutton/Volume swiper driver for this particular notebook (ClevoX8100, rebranded as mysn XMG8.c)

Uninstalling any .net and installing .net 4.52 brought at least B back for me. For Sony Vegas 10 32bit I am still searching for a solution.

StaxRip is one of those apps that need .net 3.5

Bumping for this question
Will there be x265 support for StaxRip?

[Fidelix]

Where can I find Stax's source code?

I want to find a way to remove the dialog that asks you to save the project when you close the program.

Right now I can't batch encode because of this - I'm using another software to monitor a directory for new files and run stax automatically on that file.

No one but Stax has ever seen the code to 1.1.9.0, and he isn't around anymore. You can try messaging him.

Yes, I will be back soon with quite a few ideas for improvements and new features!

[someoneXgr]

That's great! Looking forward for it.

[Chetwood]

Sounds promising. I love how Hybrid does not demux any files when loading them but the GUI is too crowded compared to Staxrip.

[Fidelix]

stax76, any chance you might release the source code of Staxrip?

Or perhaps give me some tips on how to disable some dialogs so that we can do proper automation?

Thanks!

[manolito]

The second best thing is probably to use a tool like ClickOff to answer those dialog windows automatically. ClickOff by Johannes Hübner is in constant use on my computer, and it failed me only once (a window without a window title).


Cheers

[jkilez]

I want to find a way to remove the dialog that asks you to save the project when you close the program.
In a similar vein, can anyone tell me how to turn off tooltips for the main application? They constantly pop up right when I am about to select something, thereby nullifying my click. The changelog indicates that there is a way to disable them, but I have yet to find it.

[stonehedge]

Yes, I will be back soon with quite a few ideas for improvements and new features!

Very happy to read this, thanks a lot! Staxrip is super, i really love it! :thanks:

[detmek]

Great, Stax! I really like your program as it allows me do define custom Avisynth filters and scripts and it is very good for cutting files.

P.S. Will you continue to use VirtualDubMod or you will switch to CLI tools?

[Sivar]

Yes, I will be back soon with quite a few ideas for improvements and new features!

Whether or not Staxrip updates are coming, I want to sincerely thank you for all your work on Staxrip. It is such a insanely well-designed tool with such a well thought-out UI, I have kept using it over others even when it appeared to be on the way out.
While I do not know VB.NET, I know its sister language, C#. If I can be of some help with minor enhancements, please let me know. It is the least I can do for all the use I've gotten out of Staxrip.

[Chetwood]

I too love the UI, it's almost as simple as DVD Shrink's. I'd love to see updates of the program.

[Havokdan]

When?Where?Roadmap?

[AMED]

I really never gave Staxrip a really good try since i was more a MeGUI person. It took 10 - 20 minutes to understand the Staxrip way of thinking. I have to admit Staxrip is excellent, the interface is simple but still allows you to customize and tweak .

I downloaded Staxrip v1.1.9 and have updated the following;

FFMS to v2.20
EAC3TO to v3.27
MkvToolnix to v7.3.0 (64bit)
x264 to build 2479
MediaInfo to v0.7.70.0

everything is still working fine.

One feature I miss from MeGUI is the multiple workers. if you are encoding a 1080p bluray and keeping the same resolution and denoising more often than not you will only be using 60 - 70% CPU. So allowing 2 encoding sessions at once allows you to maximize the CPU.

A big thank you to stax76 for all your hard work and time you have invested in to Staxrip.

I use Staxrip for multiple encodes. It does require running more than one Staxrip instance, but I don't find that much of a disadvantage.

I am running 9 encodes now, since there's a slight x264 benefit to encoding single-threaded.

[AMED]

So you need to start a staxrip batch job, launch a second instance of staxrip and then launch another batch job?

So there is no clashing when running 2 instances with multiple jobs each? e.g. If one of the batch jobs is aborted can it be restarted?

Yes.

- I have never had a problem with any sort of clashing.
- Each instance can do the same thing (e.g. encoding) or something different (some encoding, some indexing, etc.)
- Each instance of Staxrip is independent. If one fails, needs to be aborted, etc. it does not affect the others.
- If you index a video with Staxrip and want to add it to an existing instance, just click on the window of the instance you want to add it to, then when asked if you want to add to the running copy of Staxrip, say that you do. Somehow Staxrip or Windows remembers the last Staxrip instance that you clicked on.

If you start a new instance by middle-clicking a running instance, the new instance will have the same batch job as the old one, which you delete. It's easy to tell -- when you add a new item, StaxRip shows you the batch queue.

I have run up to 12 instances at a time.

[stax76]

@Sivar

Do you have particular interests in regard of features and .NET programming?

@all

I'm glad to know you still like using StaxRip while this long pause and unknown future, here is what I've done so far:

- removing the YV12 decoder requirement using AviSynth's ConvertToRGB instead in preview/crop dialog

- removing XviD/DivX encoding

- internal cleanup and refactoring breaking backward compatibility to settings/projects

- implemented a replacement for treeview settings and migrated the complete options dialog. The UI is still built dynamically from code but the UI looks and feels like a very well form designed UI, other dialogs will be migrated too. First I wanted to implement the x265 UI on top of this, that's how I come to the idea for building it, but later I realized to do it best similar to the x264 dialog improving the design if possible.

The big problem are health issues (mostly joints and general poor health) that got much worse just lately so until I recover development will be paused, I'm sure next year will be much better.

[jkilez]

- removing XviD/DivX encoding
Noooooooooo! :eek: :(

The fact that StaxRip can do both h.263 and h.264 is (a large part of) what makes it great. Some of us still use Xvid for standard resolution encodes, as the resultant avi files work on everything. If you take that feature away, StaxRip starts to look more like a version of HandBrake.
