I actually got it on launch from overclockers.co.uk this will probably be my last system I purchase being the old fart I am.
OK, well that just proves that you can't see the typo you've made!!!
Hey, I'm an old fart too :)

Nice.
So that's not a bad little system you've got there, are you a "gamer" or more of a "creator" ?
What did have before ?
I have to say, I'm slightly disappointed at the uplift in encoding speed between the 7950X and the 9950X3d...

The last game I played on a PC was Command & Conquer (8 discs set) on Windows 98 never been into gaming at all.
I do a lot of VHS recording and encoding and I have been stuck on a Xeon x5470 for years but every time I have saved up the money for a new PC the wife used the money for home improvements. Though soon as she wanted a PC in the spare room it was ok for her to have mine and for me to finally purchase a much needed upgrade.
This is my YouTube channel, I had to start again because I wasn't happy with many of my conversions so deleted the old channel and started uploading them again.

Going from the Xeon to this is a 1000x improvement especially using Staxrip it's gone from converting a 2hr recording that took between 4-6hrs down to 6minutes on this.

Yeah, I'm not into gaming either...
Well, that's certainly a MAJOR upgrade, and a long time coming.
I do a lot of encoding / transcoding of movies & TV series, etc, and the more power you've got, the faster it all gets done.
There comes a time when we are all running out of time, so the faster we can do stuff, the better.
I rarely use Staxrip, my "go to" is Ripbot264 (but a modded build), have been using it for decades, in one form or another.
And as the saying goes, "Happy wife, happy life".
Cheers.

Nope 4 different downloads and attempts to get it to run and nope it won't open. It let's me create the settings directory but when I double click on the exe file nothing happens it doesn't even appear in task manager.

Once the file is unzipped by double clicking on the exe file, it will not open?
I have no idea why this happens, you might try running it on a virtual machine to see if the problem resides on the host computer.

This is a very late update to a more than 4 years old post:
https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1943079&postcount=4289
DGHDRtoSDR is now at version 1.16, and the parameters have changed quite a bit since then. I spent some time with optimizing the params for the current version, and the results look very good to me.
PQ sources:
DGHDRToSDR(mode="pq", white=1460, black=0, gamma=0.42, hue=0.00, r=1.00, g=1.00, b=1.15, tm=0.90, roll=0.70, fulldepth=false, impl="255")
HLG sources:
DGHDRtoSDR(mode="hlg", white=2820, gamma=0.50, r=1.14, g=1.11, b=1.16, roll=0.70)
The PQ params are stolen from a post by Gispos here at Doom9, I only changed the value for "white" a little bit. The HLG params are the result of my own tests, I think they are not that bad...
Whatever, I still prefer DGHDRtoSDR over the FFmpeg offerings, but this is probably a matter of taste.

Is there is any option in Staxrip like the "Turbo analysis pass" of Handbrake for x265 enconding?
Khun_Doug
21st November 2025, 16:43
I don't know if this is what you are looking for. When preparing an encode I usually do a sample 10 minute encode to see the results. You can get a reasonable estimate of the bitrate and file size that way.
Bluedraft
21st November 2025, 18:40
Hello Khun_Doug, most of the time I use two-pass encoding, and I have read that the first pass (the analysis) can be run in turbo mode (i.e., a fast pass) without significantly affecting the final quality, but saving hours of encoding time. This option is available in Handbrake, but I can't find it in Staxrip, and for a specific encoding I need to use Staxrip because I have to perform some filtering that is not available in Handbrake.
Khun_Doug
24th November 2025, 17:01
In the options for x265, when set for two (or three) pass encoding, there is an option to select slow first pass. Uncheck that and the first pass runs much faster. I've read some people claim it doesn't seem to change the final result so much, or at all. I hope that is what you are looking for.

when using multithreading, a warning in green "nlmeans.avs did not load" but after a few seconds staxrip goes on to encode
Staxrip seems to be working as the encoded h264 video, from a dvd home mpg comes out fine. I'm wondering if there is a timing issue with the warning vs when all the modules loading? When using multithreading, staxrip is sluggish regarding changing settings such the width and height in resize but it does respond. The multithreading is about 2.5x faster. I went by the guide "How to set up a simple multithreaded QTGMC template for AviSynth".
Did the warning come up too soon? Is this normal behavior?
The warning comes up after starting the job. The warning, in green text, shows for about 3 seconds and after the program then goes on to encode.

I don't see that option; I only have the option to configure the preset for both passes.

I have tried all the filters recommended here:
https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/wiki/How-to-edit-a-VFR(Variable-Frame-Rate)-video-avoiding-audio-sync-issues-in-StaxRip
But it always ends up generating a video that is at least 3 to 4 minutes shorter than the original video (which is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes long) and it results out of sync audio
To “fix” it in a messy way, I import the original audio from the video and reduce the tempo with Audacity without affecting the pitch until it matches the exact time of the encoded video, and that's not a very elegant way to do it.
Is there a cleaner way to do it with Staxrip?

Convert to MKV first.
Anyway you can extract timestamps from MOV too.

22nd December 2025, 16:20
It's not "only work for MKV", it takes the timecode file in the MKV format. (matroska timecodes format v2)
If no timecodes file provided then even MKV won't work.
The video file format does not matter, it will be already decoded raw data at that point.
Extracting timecodes from other formats in MKV format is possible and pretty easy.
The example from the plugin actually works for MP4/MOV as well.

ffmpeg -i input.mov -fps_mode passthrough -f mkvtimestamp_v2 timecodes.txt
Thanks for the tip, however Staxrip alert about to use MKV as Input source and cannot continue if another format is loaded to use timecodeFPS module.

Convert to MKV first.
Anyway you can extract timestamps from MOV too.
Remuxing to MKV also produces audio unsync....

Anyone noticed using this latest version of staxrip when converting it's slowing down after a few minutes? I have noticed it doing it and thought what was happening well when I looked at my drive it looked like it went offline and after a 5 or so seconds it come back on again and staxrip continued converting!! it's only doing this when using staxrip I tried several other applications and not once did the drive go offline.

i haven't used staxrip in a long time, i heard something about Auto CRF (VMAF scanning), where using something like SVT-AV1-HDR along with VMAF scoring can setup a auto chain where the encoder will using the VMAF score set the CRF value on the encoder.
was wondering has anyone got any advice/feedback how that can be done in StaxRip, even if i don't end up using it, i'm fascinated by the concept and would like to play around with it.
i have tried getting it working, but getting confused with it, i'm reading that EVENT COMMANDS is needed, but then i read something about adding this tool ab-av1 which does the VMAF scoring?

Good morning.
Regarding x265 encoding, I would like to ask if there is a reliable procedure for estimating the bitrate within the same preset by setting a specific CFR.
I imagine that to do this I would have to encode a large part of the file and see the bitrate value produced, but this would take a long time.
Thank you.

Hi everyone. Relatively new to Staxrip.
So far so good. I love the fact you have all the Vapoursynth filters.
I've only been using it for one video at a time, but now I want to process a folder full of videos and having a heck of time figuring it out. When I configure one video in the way I want all of them to go, it says I cannot save it as a project template with a video loaded. However with nothing loaded, I have no audio, subtitles or anything else TO configure as a template. What is the preferred method?
For example, these are DVD's with light autocropping, so the end result might need to be ~704x480 anamorphic, but the program defaults are 1920x1080 progressive when you start it up... so not sure how to pick my parameters without something to bounce against.

What Emulgator forget to mention was all you should need to do, is download an AVX x265 build, and overwrite the one that is there.

Ok, working!.
Is there really a difference in performance between the versions msvc1944, icc20250301 and clang2118?? Or why compile these three types of versions?

Of course, with a CPU with a more advanced instruction set, faster encoding is achieved (not always noticeable).
