StaxRip

[Lauscher]

Hi there

Is somewhere in Staxrip the possibility to set Gamma Aware resizing

ResampleHQ should be possible with Avisynth-Filter or Vapoursynth script as i read i another forum. (Gleitz, german (https://gleitz.info/forum/index.php?thread/48113-diverse-fragen-zu-hevc-h-265-x-265-amd-h-265-und-hdr/&postID=462198#post462198))

Does anyone know the answer?

[Lauscher]

I've also problems with the Master Display setting.

The original file has Mastering display luminance settings like this: min: 0.0050 cd/m2, max: 4000 cd/m2

After encoding these settings are min: 0.0001 cd/m2, max: 1000 cd/m2

Staxrip took these settings on x265 options -> Master Display settings -> G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(10000000,1)

Is there any solution for this?

I'm having issues with DTS audio files that were converted from either Dolby Atmos or DTS HD Master. Files not converted or converted to AC3 640 kbs are OK. I could be doing something wrong as I don't have much experience with Staxrip. I'm using version 1.8.2.0 and select AC3, then edit gives option for DTS. I select it and change default 768kbs to 1536kbs. Media Info shows completed audio file as DTS 48khz 16bit 1536 kbps 6ch. My 10 year old Pioneer Receiver plays the file just fine, but my new Pioneer Elite Receiver does not. It identifies the file as DTS but the playback is all distorted. Any DTS files created with Handbrake play normally with this new receiver. I have pretty much given up on DTS with Staxrip as mkvtoolnix reduces dts to core easily and the resultant file plays correctly. Am I setting it up correctly?

I haven't used staxrip for ages but the wife needs me to convert some old vhs captures but I am having a few problems with trying to install the latest version.

keep getting this

Did you download the precompiled versions and put them into your system32 folder?

Hmm Now I thought I copied them over yesterday just been in my system32 folder and there not there, just tried to copy it again and it's just not copying to the folder at all and I've got full access.

[lordalibaski]

Right I have noticed what is happening but no idea why on earth it keeps doing it. When I try to copy the files over to the system32 folder it says it's copied but when I open the system32 folder they are not there! they had to go somewhere and they did they are in the SysWOW64 folder I can't work it out why they are going in that folder when I'm clearly copying them into the system32 folder.

[mparade]

Any solution to convert color space to linear to properly downscale 4K HDR content then back to feed x265?

Thanks for the help.

2.0.2.7 Is this the right thread to post the update ? [emoji1]
I think we have StaxRip 2.0 thread for the new project.

[stax76]

There has been many names, sites, repos and threads but it's still the same old project.

I recently simplified the first post (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172068):

2.0.2.7 Just a minor issue.
It seems that if you select NVEnc cuda or NVEnc native in "Basic" submemu of nVidia H.265 encoder as decoders, the "VPP" submemu becomes not readable for the last options because it's been added a new field that makes it bigger than VPP window.

For all the other decoders, VPP menu is fine as they don't offer the added option.

2.0.3 Stable

colorspace="YV12" removed from ffms2 defaults because it converts to 8 bit
the x264 encoder uses now avs2pipemod64 because the avs input did not support 10 bit
DTS-X is now demuxed as dtshd instead of mka
update: mkvtoolnix 36.0.0
update: avs FluxSmooth 1.4.7
update: avsmeter 2.9.5

[Zetti]

Is there problems with MediaInfo v19.07 since it's not included??

[sneaker_ger]

the x264 encoder uses now avs2pipemod64 because the avs input did not support 10 bit
FWIW: x264cli's avs input supports 16 bit.

[stax76]

Just forgotten to update, I added it to the issue tracker.

FWIW: x264cli's avs input supports 16 bit.

This is what I got:

x264 --crf 18 --output-depth 10 --output output.h264 input.avs

avs [error]: not supported pixel type: YUV420P10
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'input.avs'

[sneaker_ger]

16 bit input. I mean e.g.:
ffvideosource("source.mkv") #10 bit source
ConvertBits(16)

[stax76]

16 bit input. I mean e.g.:
ffvideosource("source.mkv") #10 bit source
ConvertBits(16)

Good to know. In the next build there is a piping tool option (Automatic, None, vspipe, avs2pipemod, ffmpeg) in the x264 options in the Other tab. What I noticed is that piping with ffmpeg does not work with 10 bit, with 8 bit input it works.

ffmpeg -i movie.avs -f yuv4mpegpipe -loglevel fatal -hide_banner - | x264 --crf 18 --output-depth 10 --demuxer y4m --frames 1553 --output movie.h264 -

y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic
x264 [error]: could not open input file `-'

[sneaker_ger]

ffmpeg can pipe y4m 10 bit but you need to set -strict -1

[stax76]

It works, thanks.

2.0.3 Stable For your next update:

All three Hardware Encoders have a slightly newer version than StaxRip:

NVEnc v4.45 (StaxRip v4.44)
QSVEnc v3.24 (StaxRip v3.23)
VCEEnc v4.02 (StaxRip v4.01)

Hi all,

Can I ask why does StaxRip keep complaining that my Avisynth plugins directory is missing? It is not missing and present in both Staxrip's directory and in my Program Files folder. I have also tried installing the provided installer as suggested, with the same results.

Also, recently all my encodes have been erroring out with the following:

Video encoding using x265 3.1 failed with exit code: 1 (0x1)

The exit code might be a system error code: STATUS_WAIT_1

The exit code might be a system error code: Incorrect function.

I'm encoding with x265, and I have verified that the encoded file is fine actually. This results in me needing to manually mux the .hevc with the audio file which is annoying...

There was a bug, it happened when VapourSynth was used, I think it was fixed before the last stable version 2.0.3.0 was released.

I would guess it's a x265 issue, people who use the command line, batch files or other apps might not notice this, staxrip does not tolerate error exit codes for x265 however. Please try 2.0.3.0, it uses a new x265 build compiled by Wolfberry. If the error persists post the x265 command line or better the full log file.

Hi, can confirm that the first mentioned bug is fixed with 2.0.3.0. Thanks!

As for the second part, I have tried to reduce my encoding job to the simplest possible, just feeding a file with ffms as input to a very simplified x265 setting.

I will be happy to post the full log file. To avoid cluttering everyone else, log file on following Pastebin link:

https://pastebin.com/mjCEy7QE

One thing though, I did notice that during x265 encoding there's a complain about "The system cannot find the path specified.". Not sure as to the cause of this, it might be one faulty PATH environment variable on my system, which I'm trying to narrow down at the same time.

[aegisofrime]

Hi all,

I managed to resolve that error on my own.

As it turns out, it was related to cmd.exe showing "The system cannot find the path specified"

I followed the following thread and it turns out I had a rogue registry key in my command processor autorun pointing to a file that didn't exist:

https://superuser.com/questions/727316/error-in-command-line-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified

Deleting the autorun key solved it.

It's unlikely that anyone else will encounter the same issue as me, but I work in IT and I believe in documenting such stuff just in case it helps someone else. :)

Thanks for any advice.

It's in the temp/work folder which you can go to with:

Tools > Folder > Working

The name is:

*_staxrip.log

Also try the log viewer:

Tools > Log File

There is also a log file history:

Tools > Folder > Log Files

[-QfG-]

Need the Logfile from Vidcoder, so i can say, why your staxrip encode is bigger. I think, Vidcoder uses other values in the settings. Use you 2pass encoding with bitrate 4 017 in Vidcoder, too?

[lordalibaski]

Got the one from staxrip

https://pastebin.com/m8UMpmPB

[-QfG-]

U using 2 pass with a defined bitrate.

x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 4017

Your original file has a bitrate from 3386. Change your bitrate lower, or better use a quality based encoding method, for example CRF20 and a slow preset.

[lordalibaski]

I never even noticed that until I read the log file where is the option to stop it from doing 2 pass? I can't find it...thanks.

No worries found the option.

i have been using staxip with a 1070ti for nvida x265, but my friend has a vega 56 does the h265 look any good or does it stink compared to the nvidia one? and if amd is good what are settings for 1080p h265? for my nvidia im using 9000 cbrhq

Use x265 for best quality encodes. NVENC has lower quality then x265.

[Magik Mark]

Guys,

How do you PROPORTIONATELY change the aspect ratio of the image? I'm getting squeezing look of the image. I want something that will shrink the image proportionately

Thanks

[-QfG-]

if your source is a progressive video from BD/UHD, the correct AR is 1:1 (x264/x265 --sar 1:1). Also set this sar if you crop and/or resize your movie.

[NikosD]

Use x265 for best quality encodes. NVENC has lower quality then x265. I'm afraid using Turing's HEVC encoder this is no longer true...

[katzenjoghurt]

Hey ho! :)
Hm... in the past there was a place to download builds of the betas.
Is there one for the most current versions (https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/blob/master/changelog.md)?

edit: Nevermind. Found it. https://staxrip.readthedocs.io/intro.html#download

[deepfrayder]

I'm selecting output x264, ffmpeg mp4 with 2 passes, Preset: Medium (Default) I got output "Jerky Playback" video in result. I've downloaded Staxrip latest version and tried again with said settings but same "Jerky Playback" video output.

Appreciate any advise/suggestions for this problem.

[tebasuna51]

@deepfrayder, cross post is not allowed in this forum.

You must select the staxrip version used, the staxrip here or the 2.0 revant654.
Also you must say something about the source used, better if you upload a sample.

[unmei220]

Hi.

I'm using StaxRip 2.0.4.0 on a Windows 8.1 PC and with a CPU without AVX2 instructions. I'm getting a "System exception - Illegal Instruction" as soon as I try to enable QTGMC Medium.
The two errors in question are:
(C:\StaxRip-x64-2.0.4.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\avs\QTGMC\QTGMC.avsi,line 882)
(C:\StaxRip-x64-2.0.4.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\avs\QTGMC\QTGMC.avsi,line 639)
I already replaced "dfttest.dll" with the AVX version included in the 7z inside the folder, but obviously I'm missing something else. I'm not using StaxRip 2.0.6.0 because it doesn't include a 7z with an AVX version inside the DFTTest folder.

Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks.
