@Patman:

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if you're seeing any progress in modding x265 to accept direct avs/vs input.

(And hope you're doing well in this era of turmoil. :))The direct avs input works, I'm still working on the direct vpy input. I don't have a lot of time right now. I will try to keep working on it.

VapourSynth R52 (https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/releases/tag/R52) is released.

[JKyle]

It'd be good if ffms2 is updated to StvG's most recent version (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1921514#post1921514) (Aug 19, 2020).

And here's an interesting chart (by ChaosKing) (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1921568#post1921568) comparing different versions of ffms2.

@minda76:

Your log is not detailed enough for analysis: the avs script is missing.

BTW, I strongly recommend you open a new issue with a full log on the official StaxRip github repo: here (https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/issues).

[DVD-VHS]

I've translated C# code to VB.NET and then the same code back from VB.NET to C#, LOL. OK, it's usually mostly done with a converter or decompiler.

You can also use online C# decompiler (http://decompiler.com/) to convert both C# and VB.NET compiled binaries back to the source code.

[Magik Mark]

What is the best way to do this:

1. Video size 1920x1080
2. Shrink the image proportionately to 1920X900
3. No cropping of the image
4. No squeezing effect

[44vince44]

@Magic Mark, can you do a screenshot of any frame of the original video, in fullscreen, and post it, so we can understand what you mean exactly.

[JKyle]

2.1.4.7 resets Preprocessors and AviSynth Source Filters in Settings even if old files are overwritten.

So I wrote down this howto on the official GitHub repo wiki about setting up DGDecNV(DGSource and DGIndexNV): here (https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/wiki/How-to-register-DGDecNV(DGSource-and-DGIndexNV)-in-StaxRip).

It's a modified/updated version of my previous post (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1913597#post1913597) using %settings_dir% instead of %startup_dir% in an effort to preserve original program folder structure.
And the macro %source_temp_file% was replaced with %temp_file% due to an erratic behavior of %source_temp_file%.

BTW, I've found that some macros are removed in 2.1.4.7 such as %input% and %output%. They were useful in composing command line audio encoder profiles. Were they removed before 2.1.4.7 but I couldn't notice?

[stax76]

Thanks for the great guide JKyle.

%input% and %output% should still be available for the command line based audio encoder.

[JKyle]

%input% and %output% should still be available for the command line based audio encoder.

Oh, I re-checked and verified that %input% still works. But as for %output%, it doesn't behave exactly as I expected.

See this:

https://i.imgur.com/9pRaCg2.gif

The original source file name is omitted with %output%, and it's kind of inconvenient in some cases. Well, I know this is somewhat intended to reduce a long file path, but an audio file name starting with a blank space is definitely weird. Isn't it? :confused:

[stax76]

@JKyle

Yes, it was changed because of long paths. It would be possible to re-enable the old behavior in cases where the path is short anyway I guess.

In the next build the space is trimmed and in case the base name is completely empty, then *temp* is used as base name.

[JKyle]

Sounds good.

BTW, the reason I thought %input% and %output% were removed was because they were not listed in the macros help. Had they been before? Well, I'm not sure. :confused:

[stax76]

They work only in the context of the command line audio encoder, in the F1 help of the command line audio encoder dialog they are listed.

They are also listed in the Macros page of the docs (https://staxrip.readthedocs.io/macros.html).

[JKyle]

They work only in the context of the command line audio encoder, in the F1 help of the command line audio encoder dialog they are listed.

Oh, I was talking about this:

https://i.imgur.com/qfgmzhi.jpg

%input% and %output% are not there.

I never thought of pressing F1. Yes, I admit I was careless, but to make an excuse... Who presses F1 every time he/she uses an app that's already pretty familiar? :D

Sorry, that was a lame joke. ;)

Anyway, thanks for giving me a good pointer. I'm happy to find another not-hidden-but-not-usually-called function in StaxRip. :D

[lordalibaski]

Never had this one before, I have just captured and transferred 5 vhs videos all NTSC. Put them all on my PC like I have been doing for years but 1 of the conversions keeps coming up with this error when trying to merge or convert


Unicode filenames are not supported by AviSynth.

VapourSynth supports unicode, it can be enabled at:

Filters > Filter Setup > VapourSynth

I change to VapourSynth and get this error

https://i.postimg.cc/KcWTC2sQ/1.png

I usually merge them with vobmerge but even that is having problems with this 1 capture.

What's causing this on this capture alone?

A file can be provided but it will be over 1gb in size.

[videoh]

That's a DGIndex error. What is the file name? Try changing it.

[lordalibaski]

That's a DGIndex error. What is the file name? Try changing it.


The files are always named the same mate they always come out named content01,content02,content03 etc.

Done this for years but it's just this capture out of the 6 I actually did yesterday, tried it again on another machine which is the same make and again it's done exactly the same with this capture.

This is the last part of the capture if you want to see don't forget this is a NTSC video (you can see I have just renamed the files and I still have the problem)

https://i.postimg.cc/TwJZM3fs/part5-vob-thumbs-2020-10-31-14-24-37.jpg

Have a look yourself mate see if you can see the problem because I can't

https://1fichier.com/?zv6twtnyedzogxvln14p


ps... I will try and index it with something different later just in the middle of a conversion.

[lordalibaski]

Changing the file name and the indexer did absolutely nothing it's still bringing the unicode error up, plus I still have no idea why VOBMerge won't accept the file either.

I just tried the file with AviSynth and DGIndex disabled and it works but it still wont join the files? brings up another error

try that: move the files content01 etc.. directly to to your H:\newfolder\
Maybe the error is related to the path, not the name itself!

[lordalibaski]

Tried that vince moved the whole folder to the desktop still had the same issue.

Hmmm!!

Just tried something else put a folder on desktop from the drive it's on titled it test, copied 1 of the files to it again it failed! I attached another drive created a folder called test and everything worked perfectly fine? bit strange this because all drives are working perfectly fine.

Also tried VOBMerge and that works too.

[videoh]

https://1fichier.com/?zv6twtnyedzogxvln14p Works fine for me. I think 44vince44 must be correct. Something is wrong with your path leading up to Content05.vob.

[lordalibaski]

The main cause of the issue was the actual folder name itself

The folder the files were in was calkec The X Ecutioners ‎European Tour 98 I renamed it thexecutionerseuropeantour and it worked perfectly fine so it was a character issue.

Thanks for the help guys.

[44vince44]

the apparent space between "Ecutioners" and "European" is not a space, it's a Unicode character that looks like a space but is not. This was the source of the problem.

[Emulgator]

True, it was 00 <control> NUL, but should have been 20 (SPACE).
Good to know.

A few observations for QSVEnc from me. This beta uses version 4.07, the newest available is 4.12.

Extended rate control option is missing in Staxrip. And yes rigaya re-added this BRC in version 4.10 (required for adapt-ltr). Also one global QP Offset for CQP isn't enough, a separate offset for I, P and B-frames yields better results, ideally this can be set from the GUI rather than the custom field.

It will be updated in the next build. Internally we are using a tool auto update since a while. This will be public in the next build:

Apps Dialog > Tools > Auto Update (Ctrl+U)

It works for qsvenc and many other tools, but of course not for all tools.

I have 32gb of ram, and this didn't happen before. I encoded 16 different 4k video files, ranging from 15gb to about 40gb. every time I checked ram usage, it was miniscule. 3-5gb. but now I start encoding and it uses up al my memory and crashes out. what's going on?

This is just for testing. Please spread to those who it may concern, let people test it (different bitdepth or colorspace, etc.), and report back if you are confident for this patch to be baked into a formal release. After that, I'll recompile and release a new version.

Can someone recommend a good setup for 10 bit HEVC encode with a 3070 card. I've just upgraded from my 1070 and noticed speeds are terrible and only difference I can think of is B frames now.

[Noisrevid]

Loving Staxrip.. using latest Beta build having an issue where it seems Staxrip is auto clipping the blank parts off of a movie at the beginning and starting immediately when it sees some action? If that makes sense.. like instead of a 10 second of nonethingness (which is part of the original) it's clipping it off and this is causing the audio to not be synced up either since the reencoded audio is retaining this silent part.

It seems like it might be some default option enabled but I can't find it?

Edit: This is happening after I change from Avisynth/Vaporsynth decoder to the NVEnc Hardware decoder. I guess there's an issue with the NVEnc decoder?

Is there anything major that would have changed since 2.1.3.7 which might have slowed things down?

Trying to compare logs but it just looks like the newer versions have slower fps for the encode.

Edit:
I don't think its the x265 version. I took the newer x265.exe from 2.1.5.5 and used it with 2.1.3.7 and got the same faster encode time (8min 12sec). Still trying different things.

Maybe the change from AviSynth 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 or possibly ffmpeg slowed things down considerably on my system.
Edit1: Looks like I can't use avisynth 3.6.1 with 2.1.6.0. When I try and change the AviSynth.dll file to the 3.6.1 version it gives error "The currently used version of AviSynth is not compatible (too old)."
Edit2: Its not ffmpeg. Tested with the old version on the new staxrip and got the same longer encode times.

I suspect the change from AviSynth 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 to have increased encode times by almost 40% on my system. Anyone else gets a chance to test and report results that would be great.
