StaxRip x86 (development for x86 has been stopped)

[Patman]

hi Stax,

is there a possibility to reimplement the load button in the window where all jobs are listed? If you forgot to set something special you must load the whole project over main.

[MikeTR]

Stax, good to see you back at it. v1.1.9.0 is still going strong here, but I cannot deny that manually updating the components has been a pita at times :p. Will try the beta asap. BTW, any chance you can add a 'prevent windows standby' checkbox in a newer version? I still haven't figured out a reliable way to prevent my system goint into standby during a batch run.

[VfBFan]

...add a 'prevent windows standby' checkbox...
+1 and a option to send the system to standby after the complete batch is done, and not only the current process.

[MikeTR]

+1 and a option to send the system to standby after the complete batch is done, and not only the current process.
The "when finished do:" option sometimes is there after loading a previously aborted job que (F6) but not when going straight to processing after making the batch list. Maybe a glitch? Or it might be just my config. Try and see what it does for you.
EDIT: doesn't seem to work when resuming a large batch list, but it does with only a few jobs in the list.

[stax76]

I record with Windows Media Center, which uses the .wtv container. I use VideoRedo TVSuite 5 to cut and remux, literally the best software to edit .wtv. I can upload you a sample, do you want it in a container (.ts or something else) or in elementary streams?

The form that caused problems.

Yeah, I was wondering if you could put the option for this instance or another instance somewhere else, because honestly I don't like the extra click.

I made separate button and moved all buttons to the bottom.


I have a small problem with Staxrip in combination with my TV recordings.

When I open my recordings in Staxrip and are getting processed by DGIndexNV I notice that the audio is always getting a huge delay, think of -600ms until -1500ms.
After the encode is done the start is fine, but at the end I'm always missing the amount of audio that's equal to the delay.

So if I have an audio thats get a delay of -1000ms I know already that I will miss 1000ms of audio at the end.

Is there a way this fix this in the code of Staxrip, to put the actual end cut point in the audio a little bit further so I won't miss any audio at the end?
Just guessing here about a solution...


I might be able to find the reason if I see a log file, you can send it with pm, email or pastebin.

is there a possibility to reimplement the load button in the window where all jobs are listed? If you forgot to set something special you must load the whole project over main.

I'd like to keep it as it's not much different, to change something you are in the main dialog anyway and from there loading the project is simple enough.

Stax, good to see you back at it. v1.1.9.0 is still going strong here, but I cannot deny that manually updating the components has been a pita at times . Will try the beta asap. BTW, any chance you can add a 'prevent windows standby' checkbox in a newer version? I still haven't figured out a reliable way to prevent my system goint into standby during a batch run.

I've added it but always on while encoding without option, if and where to make a option I'm not sure, how do browsers handle this for instance?

and a option to send the system to standby after the complete batch is done, and not only the current process.

I'll change it so only the last instance will execute it.

[MikeTR]

I'm not sure how browers do it, but this (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373208(v=vs.85).aspx) seems to be the WINAPI involved and used by some devs.

[stax76]

I found code using a newer API called PowerSetRequest, what I'm not sure is if I can enable it always or if a option is required and where to put the option.

[MikeTR]

I'm not sure were or how to use it exactly, but I've recently seen a similar solution as an on/off option in XMedia Recode. Maybe the source code of Insomnia (http://dlaa.me/blog/post/9901642) can help out.

[resides]

Hey guys,

I'm using StaxRip and I'm wondering how to encode with DTS HD 7.1? I'm at best getting only DTS core or DTS 5.1... but no HD audio?

[MikeTR]

AFAIK eac3to can do 7.1 only after some manipulation (search the eac3to treads for details); StaxRip itself has no option for it. Probably since it's not a standard eac3to conversion. You could try encoding the audio manually and remux with StaxRips video output.

[MACKerMD]

Great to see StaxRIP back alive with implementation of x265 [and x264] 64 bit.

However, I miss the feature to -also- use the High Efficiency profile for AAC audio (HE-LC, 48/24bit etc). This way x265 comes more to it's official right, rather than using 'regular' AAC; which can be quite bigger compared to the HE-LC profile.

I really hope to see this little feature added in the drop-down-box in the audio-settings ;)

[fabje]

Anyone that has a clue, normally when you delete the Settings.dat file and start Staxrip back up the file will be created automatic.
But for some reason it doesn't do that on my system anymore, I have tried it in Windows Xp mode/with administrator rights but no change at all.

Any idea what is going on here, I'm lost?

[stax76]

@MikeTR

I took the code from a article comparing the new and old API. It will always be enabled, if it's a problem I can still add a option.

@fabje

Are you sure you aren't in the wrong directory? You can find it with Tools/Directories/Settings

[MikeTR]

I took the code from a article comparing the new and old API. It will always be enabled, if it's a problem I can still add a option.

I think it would be a welcome feature, even when always enabled. That way StaxRip will always keep the PC alive while jobs are running and if you add a "close StaxRip": option to the "when finished do" dropdown menu, the PC's normal power save settings can take over again when finished.

[stax76]

@MikeTR

It starts suppressing standby when encoding starts and releases it when encoding finishes but it's difficult to test with one or more instances.

@all

Here is a test build with minor changes:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4f05k4f59fb1zss/StaxRip_2015.02.10.7z?dl=0


Added feature preventing standby mode while encoding (experimental)
Changed Standby/Shutdown feature to be executed by the last instance only
Improved AviSynth filter profiles editor


it resets the filter profiles which support multiline now like so:


[Source]
MPEG2Source =
MPEG2Source("%source_file%")
Crop(0, 0, -Width % 8, -Height % 8)
ConvertToYV12()
(framerate == 50) ? SelectEven() : last

DirectShowSource =
DirectShowSource("%source_file%", audio = false, convertfps = true, fps = %original_framerate%)
Crop(0, 0, -Width % 8, -Height % 8)
ConvertToYV12()
(framerate == 50) ? SelectEven() : last

FFVideoSource =
FFVideoSource("%source_file%", cachefile = "%working_dir%%source_name%.ffindex")
Crop(0, 0, -Width % 8, -Height % 8)
ConvertToYV12()
AssumeFPS(%original_framerate%)
(framerate == 50) ? SelectEven() : last

[MikeTR]

Will give the new build a try tomorrow and see how it works out.

EDIT: standby mode seems to be working OK, just missing the option to terminate StaxRip when job/batch finished. Will do a bigger batch run this weekend for a more thorough test.
I noticed I couldn't import settings from v1.1.9.0. Error on my part or a consequence of changing the template structure?

[Patman]

Hi Stax,

i think your last test build is a little buggy. The demuxing of chapters from mkv takes a long time. I had some errors with .NET framework caused by staxrip. Please check the code on errors.

[stax76]

I noticed I couldn't import settings from v1.1.9.0. Error on my part or a consequence of changing the template structure?

Recently I just reset most settings, one problem is supporting old settings is quite a bit work and the other is the users wouldn't see improved default settings like the new multiline source filter profiles.

i think your last test build is a little buggy. The demuxing of chapters from mkv takes a long time.

I guess it's mkvextract being slow, you can test it running the command line from the log file manually. The second time there should some disc access caching going on though.

Without details I can't do much.

[NikosD]

Sorry if my question has been asked and replied before, but is there any way to import a source file of Y4M format ?

[stax76]

@NikosD

So far it's unkown to StaxRip, I can examine it.

edit: I don't know about the latest public builds but unknown source file types load in my current development build so there is a good chance you can open it without problems.

[Patman]

I guess it's mkvextract being slow, you can test it running the command line from the log file manually. The second time there should some disc access caching going on though.

Demuxing of chapters with StaxRip 1.2.0.2_beta takes milliseconds, but with your last test build demuxing takes some minutes. I've tested it with different files and different file sizes in 1.2.0.2_beta and your last test build. Everytime same result. It's an simple xml file which is being extracted.

Without details I can't do much.

Everything is fine with last test build. After a restart of my computer everything was fine. I think an update of windows was the reason for that. Sorry Stax. Good work also.

[stax76]

@Patman

Chapters extraction is only a very very basic command line so there isn't much that can go wrong from StaxRip's side, please check the log file to see if it's really the chapter extraction.

It's still working here:

Hi,

nice to see that you found the problem and know what i meant. Here are some pics to explain the "little bug" ;)
Have a look at the time in log file and the time in the taskbar.

@TalasNetrag

Since Windows Vista 'C:\Program Files (x86)' is write protected, setups and installers put applications in there, setups can write to it because they run with elevated/admin privileges. Portable applications are applications that don't have a setup or installer, this includes StaxRip and the majority of applications it contains. You can never now or make assumptions if a portable application writes to it's directory (the directory where the application is located, also called startup directory). If you put a portable application in a write protected directory it potentially might try to write to it and it might not have robust error handling but might just crash or stop working correctly. StaxRip checks on startup if it's located in the Program Files directory, if so it makes a write check and shows a message telling to move it somewhere else in case the write test fails.

Did you move StaxRip yourself to Program Files or is there somebody bundling StaxRip with a setup? Did you disable UAC?

@Patman

It's simply a crash (unhandled exception), milliseconds before you tried to minimize the process form the process has finished causing StaxRip trying to access a terminated process, this should happen very rarely, it will be fixed in the next release (coming soon).

[TalasNetrag]

@stax76

I moved StaxRip myself (so that it is in the same folder as any other program) and disabled UAC. Same thing happens if I move StaxRip to another drive and/or enable UAC.

I am puspecting it has something to do whith %source_dir% %source_name% beeing empty at this point (since I didnt open a source file yet) and right-clicking the audio-textbox causes StaxRip to open a non existing directory/file.

[stax76]

@TalasNetrag

I'll try your "Source File Directory" setting then.

edit:

I am puspecting it has something to do whith %source_dir% %source_name% beeing empty at this point (since I didnt open a source file yet) and right-clicking the audio-textbox causes StaxRip to open a non existing directory/file.

Exactly, the new feature listing audio streams/files in the menu uses a API to list all files in the temp files directory and this API was throwing a exception since the directory don't yet exist.

1.2.0.3 beta (2015-02-16)


Added qaac encoder, Apple library not included
Added nvidia GPU encoder supporting H.265 encoding with GTX 960 card
Added setting to prevent windows entering standby mode while encoding
Fixed shutdown feature not executed by the last instance only
Improved eac3to GUI
Improved AviSynth filter profiles editor
Improved audio encoding GUI
Improved MediaInfo GUI
Improved command line audio and video encoding GUI, processing as batch now supporting piping
Updated x265 builds to version 1.5 and updated x265 GUI
Updated mkvtoolnix to version 7.6.0


https://www.dropbox.com/s/fnlc7a1gacc63cw/StaxRip_1.2.0.3_beta.7z?dl=0

http://sourceforge.net/projects/staxmedia/files/StaxRip%20beta/StaxRip_1.2.0.3_beta.7z/download

qaac requires Apple libraries downloaded and installed manually. The numeric control for the quality uses now the same values like the CLI, for instance 0-10 for Vorbis, for Nero AAC it does now 0.01 steps, for Flac and WAV it calculates the bitrate using 55% for Flac, the automatically generated profile names are more detailed now.

http://s23.postimg.org/4vkd08hvv/Unbenannt.png

The filter profiles editor supports multiline profiles now and the weird selection behavior was fixed and a new context menu for cut/copy/paste was added everywhere the RichTextControl is used else.

http://s23.postimg.org/tssbuvvrf/Unbenannt2.png

nvidia encoder for H264 and H265 (GTX 960) was added using the generic command line GUI, I don't know which cards work, with GTX 960 both codecs work here, with DGDecNV and nv encoder I encoded a 720p movie around 700 fps. The help file for CLI instructions for the nvencc.exe is included at Tools/Applications/nvencc or Help/Applications/Tools/nvencc.

This generic encoder processes now by using a bat file so multiline and piping works now in the generic batch video encoder GUI as well as the generic batch audio encoder GUI, with this encoder type any command line application and format or codec can be integrated into StaxRip. Few other improvements in those GUIs were made like access to the macros dialog.

http://s23.postimg.org/ncerr1xu3/Unbenannt3.png

The media info GUI is now also based on the RichTextControl for easier text copying, maybe looks better now too. Expert users might be interested to integrate it into the windows explorer shell context menu using the following command:

StaxRip.exe -mediainfo <input media file>

There is application called Open++ for explorer shell context menu integration, many years ago I made a application which does the same as Open++, maybe even better I don't know since I never used Open++. I never bothered to release the application because this kind of application are usually not very popular I believe, the GUI is VB.NET and the shell part C++, I use it probably over 100 times every day with other tools and scripts made for personal use.

The search feature in the media info GUI is very useful for listing and finding rare properties , it searches both property name and value.

http://s23.postimg.org/pv0grqjkb/Unbenannt4.png

The audio text box has more details now and the main dialog shows the source video codec and profile now.

Thanks for the new release!

[MikeTR]

Will give the new build a try tomorrow and see how it works out.

EDIT: standby mode seems to be working OK, just missing the option to terminate StaxRip when job/batch finished. Will do a bigger batch run this weekend for a more thorough test.
I noticed I couldn't import settings from v1.1.9.0. Error on my part or a consequence of changing the template structure?
After some more testing I noticed each ecoding created a persistent gpac_#########.tmp file in AppData/Local/Temp. I can't quite figure out where it comes from exactly, other than that is used in MP4box.

EDIT: identical issue with 1.2.0.3beta. It also creates recover.srip in the same location as well as an .htm and 2 .gif files when viewing help>info.

The Geforce 9500 GT is too old to use the Nvidia H264 Encoder (NVEnc). You would need a Geforce 600 series or up in order to use NVEnc.

After some more testing I noticed each ecoding created a persistent gpac_#########.tmp file in AppData/Local/Temp. I can't quite figure out where it comes from exactly, other than that is used in MP4box.

I believe mp4box is responsible, the developer likes the # character using it in his command line syntax resulting in using file paths with # character isn't possible! Very nice example algorithm programmer failing on something very simple, it's not the only mp4box glitch I'm aware and StaxRip don't bother to work around all rather adding new mkv features, fortunately I'm not using MP4. Every second porn movie would just result in an error so StaxRip checks it and warns the user, it also has new diagnostics and prevention for filenames potentially getting bigger then 260 chars, both of this was added just recently. I noticed the # char issue encoding a huge batch collection in order to find bugs, some dubstep and trap music clips from youtube had the # char in the filename causing the batch encode to fail. I remember StaxRip writing srip htm and gif to the temp dir but since those files are small I think it's legit, that's what the temp dir is here for after all.

@Lupissimo

not many posts but many years. :)

I thought I changed StaxRip that it would just abort but not crash and terminate in this case, maybe the encoder app works only on certain new cards, I had intel only graphics for some years so I bought a GTX 960 recently, both included encoding profiles work with my card amazingly fast, combining them with DGDecNV works too.

[MikeTR]

To be more precise: the .tmp files are named "gpac_"followed by 8 random digits, like gpac_00334850.tmp and are similar in size to the final MP4 file created by Staxrip. It looks like MP4Box is using the AppData/Local/Temp folder instead of the Temp folder specified in StaxRip and also forgets to delete the temp file. The batch run I used to test the beta generated over 9GB of these .tmp files.
AFAIK you added some files to the MP4Box folder that weren't part of v1.1.9.0. It used to be only MP4Box.exe & libgpac.dll. The config of those might be the problem. Can you replicate this happening on your system?

Second issue: when I start a batch run and immediately minimize the Staxrip window (to tray), the log pops up again when starting audio encoding. Only minimizing it a second time keeps it down.

EDIT: I replaced the entire MP4box folder with the one from v1.1.9.0 which seems to work. So the new Mp4Box is responsible as you already thought.

FWIW the standby prevention works fine, thanks for adding; if you could add an option for Staxrip to close itself after all jobs are finished that would be perfect.

@dejong12 + Stax:
Would this card work: Asus VGA GT730-2GD3-BRK NVIDIA Grafikkarte (PCI-e, 2GB, GDDR3 Speicher, VGA 1, GPU) ?
What are the criteria to look for?
I would prefer a fanless passive only card.
Thank you for your answer!

1.2.0.3 beta (2015-02-16) Issue

Issue found:
Under options --> image, the Auto resize image size can not be set any higher than 32767. That means the resize slide is right at the bottom end, actually below the smallest size able to be set by the slider.

I THINK that one works but I'm not sure. Try to look around if it supports NVEnc. Make sure it's a card based on Kepler.

* Added nvidia GPU encoder supporting H.265 encoding with GTX 960 card

nvidia encoder for H264 and H265 (GTX 960) was added using the generic command line GUI, I don't know which cards work, with GTX 960 both codecs work here, with DGDecNV and nv encoder I encoded a 720p movie around 700 fps. The help file for CLI instructions for the nvencc.exe is included at Tools/Applications/nvencc or Help/Applications/Tools/nvencc.


Is it in your plans to add a HW encoding option for Intel's QuickSync encoder too ?

[stax76]

@MikeTR

One bug with the previous MP4Box build was when I added two AC3 track (other types maybe also affected) it resulted in doubled play time and that's pretty severe.

Second issue: when I start a batch run and immediately minimize the Staxrip window (to tray), the log pops up again when starting audio encoding. Only minimizing it a second time keeps it down.

With a quick test encoding a very small sample I couldn't reproduce it, at which processing step exactly does it happen?

if you could add an option for Staxrip to close itself after all jobs are finished that would be perfect.

There is thread started by Selur in the videohelp forum, I believe someone said there at least Kepler is needed.

I would prefer a fanless passive only card.

I would at least go for maxwell, only the GTX 960 does H265 encoding, I don't think there is great choice if you want a good silent card, you got the passive 750/750 TI KalmX models and the silent semi passive MSI GTX 960.

I have used your program since that time and had only few "complaints" !

I believe we met in a forum of a software that is called odsoft today around 2001 were StaxRip originated as VBScript, I was a very enthusiastic DVB user at that time, I still could use this oddsoft because it shipped with the good old KNC1 DVB-C card I use, I record with DVBViewer and open mpg with DGMPGDec and convert AVC TS now with dsmux to mkv or open it directly with DGDecNV.

Under options --> image, the Auto resize image size can not be set any higher than 32767

Turned out it was Int16.MaxSize which is nothing compared to what is actually needed.

For StaxRip the nvidia encoder was just another CLI tool, supporting dozens of formats and tools result in a generic program design, it was little to no effort needed to add it, if there is a small CLI tool for QS I can add it no problem, I don't have interest to build a QS encoding tool myself.

This one is the best AFAIK

Hi Stax, i finally managed to make an account here.

First of this is one of the best encoding tools i used in a while, simple, stable and yet i can customize pretty much anything the way i want it to be.

Anyway i want to share some things that i encountered:

1.

I had some color matrix issues. For example the preview window had slightly different colors than the input video or the encode had different colors than the input video etc.. but i finally figured out what the problem was here.

All your source filters do a "ConvertToYV12()" which is fine when the input is already yuv, then it just gets passed through, but if it actually has to convert to yuv then it uses always the default color matrix "Rec601" which should be "Rec709" when the input is hd. The other way around at the end of your "_Preview.avs" you put ConvertToRGB() which always converts to "Rec601" as default and makes all hd footage been displayed with wrong colors too.

Long story short, to fix all this and make the input/preview/output all look the same i changed the "ConvertToYV12()" line of all source filters to:

(%source_height% <= 576) \
? ConvertToYV12(matrix="Rec601") \
: ConvertToYV12(matrix="Rec709")


Also the "ConvertToRGB()" line that is generated in the "_Preview.avs" should be changed to: (or maybe don't convert to rgb at all?)

(%source_height% <= 576) \
? ConvertToRGB(matrix="Rec601") \
: ConvertToRGB(matrix="Rec709")

I know i can pretty much fix all this myself (which i did obviously :) ) but i thought i share this information so you could make this the default behavior like it should be in my opinion.

2.

Would it be possible to add for "Run specific command at specific event" a "Perform | Load Encoder Profile"

3.

When i change aac to mono in the audio settings it still says "AAC 2.0" in the automatically generated profile name. maybe a tiny bug?

And...
I think thats all for now keep doing your great work ;)

[stax76]

@NikosD

Thanks, I hope I can add it but I'll pause coding for a while and I can't tell when I continue but command line applications can generally be integrated by users, so you or somebody else just might integrate it and if somebody posts how it's done I'm sure it would be helpful for people who don't yet have mastered StaxRip customizability capabilities.

@HarryMason

Hello, welcome and thanks for the great feedback. I'll work on everything I promise but want to recover first from long coding sessions in recent weeks.

The RGB conversion is necessary for grabbing frames from the Window's avifile API otherwise a VFW YV12 decoder is required and that was great trouble for years, I need to research the topic first before I can improve it.

Thanks, much appreciated! It works properly now :).

A separate issue, the current job gets removed from the queue at the beginning of its encode, not the end as previously. This means that if the current job is cancelled for whatever reason it is no longer in the queue to continue encoding. You might need to cancel a job to reboot for some reason, or people may simply have several jobs in the queue that they wish to continue the next time their computer is on.

The previous 1.1.x Staxrip the jobs remained at the beginning of the queue.

The ability to move items in the queue would be handy if there are a large number of queued items, either as individual selections or selecting multiple items to move up or down.

Minimize the log right after Source > File Batch > Add > OK (create jobs) > Start.
StaxRip minimizes to tray correctly, but pops up again after demuxing when starting audio encoding. When minimized again it stays that way throughout the batch run.

Thanks, much appreciated! It works properly now :).

Second this request. Please keep the job in queue until finished.+1
I was wondering what it's doing the first time as the queue was empty. Still seems weird.
Also, it would be nice to be able to sort the job queue list again.

Apart from that: Support for more than 2 audio tracks would be nice - even if it were just a "just mux all" option.

(And last: a nice delogo filter with a gui. I probably missed it out, but did not find one. All just "messy stuff" with script files and external paintjobs.)

@HarryMason

I've done a few changes regarding the source filter profiles:

I removed the crop functions, they are added now dynamically but only if the source isn't mod 4

I removed the ConvertToYV12 functions too, also they are added dynamically in case MediaInfo don't return 4:2:0 for the 'ChromaSubsampling' property, it uses the height like your example to decide which matrix to use.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zkldgdhmbrhe0l7/StaxRip_1.2.0.x_2015.02.23.7z?dl=0

Would it be possible to add for "Run specific command at specific event" a "Perform | Load Encoder Profile"

What kind of profile and what is your goal with it?

A separate issue, the current job gets removed from the queue at the beginning of its encode, not the end as previously. This means that if the current job is cancelled for whatever reason it is no longer in the queue to continue encoding. You might need to cancel a job to reboot for some reason, or people may simply have several jobs in the queue that they wish to continue the next time their computer is on.

It could be unchecked instead as alternative, I think about it.

The ability to move items in the queue would be handy if there are a large number of queued items, either as individual selections or selecting multiple items to move up or down.

It would need another rewrite then because the current registry storage cannot be sorted, should still be easy enough to change so yes I'll probably do it soon.

Hi Stax. I tried to encode a short clip using VP9 codec in 2-pass mode and I got an error. Here is the log:

The documentation for VP9 is pretty poor so it's hard to tell what works and what don't work.

StaxRip minimizes to tray correctly, but pops up again after demuxing when starting audio encoding. When minimized again it stays that way throughout the batch run.

I wasn't able to reproduce it, please mail a log file if it happens again.

Edit:

@Lupissimo

Other then recent driver I don't know any other requirements

edit: apparently NVEnc 1.xx requires NVIDIA driver after 347.09 and VC2013 redistributable

@Stax: Thank you! I did a new Windows install and now it works! Although there is a problem with file name lengths: "2015-02-21_23-55-30_WDR HD Köln (deu)_700 Meilen westwärts - Spielfilm USA 1975 (Bite the Bullet).ts" is not working; after renaming it to "test.ts" it runs with 110fps (720p HDTV ) vs 7..10fps with the normal encoder. :))! Not being familiar with the encoding parameters it would be nice to have something similar as for the "normal" x264 ( High,Film, etc.) or just a set of example values for the encoding.
