StaxRip 2.0 Support Thread

[JKyle]

Pls do the same with x265.exe (multilib version), not with x265-8b.exe, x265-10b.exe or x265-12b.exe. The x265.exe includes all bith depth.

You were right. x265.exe returns errors with 10-bit and 12-bit encodes.

x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 3.3+19-1d2f556ffb12
x265 [info]: build info [Windows][GCC 10.0.1][64 bit] 8bit+10bit+12bit
x265 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast LZCNT SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 BMI2 AVX2
x265 [error]: internalBitDepth must match compiled bit depth
x265 [error]: x265_encoder_open() failed for Enc,
aborted at input frame 1, output frame 0

By contrast, your build - x265-3.3+10-g08d895bb6-gcc10.0.1 - chooses the appropriate bit depth in encoding.

x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 3.3+10-g08d895bb6
x265 [info]: build info [Windows][GCC 10.0.1][64 bit] 12bit
x265 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast LZCNT SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 BMI2 AVX2
x265 [info]: Main 12 profile, Level-3.1 (Main tier)
x265 [info]: Thread pool created using 4 threads
...

I guess the main difference lies in adaptively choosing the right bit depth at the time of encoding.
Yours can but the official x265 cannot.

[stax76]

An interesting observation I have made with encoding x265 4K. Encoding with a lower CRF takes more time. CRF 21 is a little slower than CRF 22 and CRF 20 is significantly slower.

I would have thought that if you wanted a better quality and use less compression, it should be faster to encode but it is the opposite. So, it is interesting on how to decide which CRF to use. Not only it depends on the quality you want, you have to consider how slow the encoding will be. I'm thinking that for me 4K CRF 20 is a no go for me. Too slow.

here is a benchmark:

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=180438


In 2.1.0.5 beta, Tools > Folders > Templates menu tries to open a wrong folder, TemplatesV2.

Will be fixed in the next build.

In PowerShell, it fails with this error message:

On the other hand, it does not produce any error but encodes the file successfully in the Command Prompt.


Not every command line that works in cmd works also in ps, at least not without modification, piping to x265 does not work unless you do:

cmd /s /c --% "regular command line between this quotes"

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_special_characters?view=powershell-5.1

That is similar to what staxrip does, calling cmd /s /c "" with the dotnet Process class with shellex disabled, it uses CreateProcess in Win32.

I think it was quot27 who gave me this clue.

In the next build there are some terminal related improvements:

I gave you the tipp too for SVT-AV1 encoder :D

THX for testing JKyle, that's the point. I want to update my x265 builds, but with this known error i won't to build new versions. I hope the x265 devs can help with this problem. Till version x265-3.3+15 everything works fine, but after that version the error ocurrs. The offical build worked also fine till version 3.3+10. I hope other users can confirm this error.

Now your tip wakes up my vague memory that PowerShell's piping is different from cmd's piping.

Thank you for the pointer. :)

Thanks, bookmarked.

Wow, that's huge and it would take me several days to encode just 1 video like that.

What is your processor and memory?
Mine:
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Interestingly staxrip log does not include the memory.
RAM 64GB

My encoding rig is a Ryzen 1700 stock speeds. It does pretty good!

For encoding 4K you pretty much are going to be encoding for ever regardless.

[onekmilesbehind]

For encoding 4K you pretty much are going to be encoding for ever regardless.

Nailed it. I thought when I built my threadripper rig a couple years back, I'd be sitting pretty. But then I just started enabling higher settings. Even with great CPUs, x265 is intense. At least if you're happy with the end results, it all works out. Well maybe not as much for my electric bill.

Stax thanks for making such a great app. Been using it for a few years now and realized I never stopped by to say thanks. Been a treat to use in my encoding pipeline.

[Atlantis]

Yes, if you are encoding 4K, it's non stop, it's so slow.

So in the past with x264 1080p, I could encode the entire thing and if I wanted another setting, redo it all over again.

Now it's impossible with 4K x265. You have to do it right on the first try. That's why I do compressibility check before doing the whole thing.

[jlw_4049]

Yeah doing a 2 pass to hit a more controlled bitrate is impossible. It would be 30 to 35 hours on my encoding rig.

I've gotten it down to where I can hit the bitrate I want with crf but it's not easy.

@onekmilesbehind

Thank you, positive feedback from people is probably the main reason why I still like to improve staxrip, even though I rarely use staxrip myself (ok indirectly...).

Negative feedback (https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/issues/101) also motivates me, for instance to improve the documentation, I don't have great problems with the technical part, the command line interface page (https://staxrip.readthedocs.io/cli.html) is much better since today, it's auto-generated from staxrip, non-technical things like writing real content will be a challenge, I'm terrible in that, we'll see. :)

[Patman]

The error with the x265.exe (Multilib) has been fixed. I updated my x265 versions ;) THX to the x265 developers ... Great support and good collaboration :thanks:

[JKyle]

The error with the x265.exe (Multilib) has been fixed. I updated my x265 versions ;)

Wow! That's pretty good news! :)

BTW, I'm kind'a looking forward to the GCC 10 compiled version of ffmpeg to see how much improvement it will show.
Will it be available?

:thanks:

[Patman]

:thanks:I'm doing my best, but there are still a few problems. Not all of the tools I need the libraries are compatible with gcc 10.

[Atlantis]

What is this place? The difference?
http://msystem.waw.pl/x265/

I also did some test with 3.3+19 on that link and I got errors. Couldn't encode.

[Atlantis]

Tried Patman's x265-3.3+18-g8b61ca0ca-gcc10.0.1 it freezes at the end. Does not end. Tried it in a Command Prompt.

[JKyle]

Well, in my testing, all of Patman's builds of x265(3.3+18-g8b61ca0ca) are working OK with different encoding speeds.

[craigpro]

I keep encountering issues with NeroAACenc stalling (it stalled in 2.0.8.0 stable, worked fine in 2.1.0.2 and is stalling again with 2.1.0.5), don't sometimes it continues and writes out the encoded file, sometimes it aborts completely.

I've never reported a log file before, I hope this is ok? Thank you.

[stax76]

@craigpro

I'll take a look, meanwhile maybe try the two other aac encoders that are included.

[Patman]

Tried Patman's x265-3.3+18-g8b61ca0ca-gcc10.0.1 it freezes at the end. Does not end. Tried it in a Command Prompt.Hi Atlantis,

I can't reproduce it with any of my x265 builds. Is there a log or something else?

[Atlantis]

No worry, I will wait for one of the future versions. I'm in no hurry to change versions, still using x265-3.3+10-g08d895bb6-gcc10.0.1 for my encodes.

[Atlantis]

Something strange happening, if anyone can help me to understand or how to find the cause

this script

Unprocessed = FFVideoSource("..........
Processed = RemoveGrain(Unprocessed, mode=2)
Repair(Processed, Unprocessed, mode=2)

and this script

Unprocessed = FFVideoSource("...........
RemoveGrain(Unprocessed, mode=2)

give the same results, like the Repair() function in the first script not doing anything.

However this script

FFVideoSource(".....................
Processed = RemoveGrain(mode=2)
Repair(Processed, mode=2)

gives a different result, like Repair is doing something here. Any idea how can I pinpoint why this is happening?

[Zetti]

x264 r3000 is released.

[Atlantis]

HD Audio Tracks

DTS-HD tracks have 5.1 core inside. Don't know if it's already possible, it would be great if we could extract and encode those automatically inside staxrip. eac3to -core.

At the moment I have to use eac3to separately to extract the core tracks. It would be great to have an option in the demux dialog to demux the core only and not the entire track.

Thanks for the builds update.

But it seems that ffmpeg-N-97277-ged617c85c7-g7b0c22768e-gcc9.3.0.7z is buggy. No response from execution.
Can you look into this please?

Frank, I've a strange issue with DGDecNV (r206 from 2020-04-10; legal).
When trying to encode an sample file, StaxRip 2.1.0.6 after the demux phase shows a message:
"A new guard page for the stack cannot be created." (obviously when DGIndexNV trying to start indexing)
and it closes on its own. I'm on Windows 10 LTSC (1809) and Nvidia 445.78 driver.
I can't figure out where this result comes from.
Help me if possible. I will be very grateful.

Another test with LSMASHVideoSource (LSMASHSource_20200328 - latest from HolyWu) give me this result:
"LSMASHVideoSource [Fatal]: Failed to read an input file.
(C:\Temp\Passengers - Trailer_temp\Passengers - Trailer_new_source.avs, line 2)"
There is content of.avs file:
LoadPlugin("C:\Portables\StaxReborn\Apps\Plugins\Dual\L-SMASH-Works\LSMASHSource.dll")
LSMASHVideoSource("C:\Passengers - Trailer.mkv", format = "YUV420P8")
#ConvertFromDoubleWidth(bits=10)
#AssumeFPS(25)

P.S. Tested also with StaxRip 1.7.0.6 and DGDecNV r206 - they works like a charm.

[stax76]

'A new guard page for the stack cannot be created' is according to what I found with Google probably a dotnet specific error so it's likely that staxrip is responsible for the error, please search for a log file.

[mcjordan]

I compiled the source with target .NET 4.72 and things went right.
But it's weird, because it hadn't happened to previous versions before.
(i have installed .Net 4.8). But LSMASHVideoSource error is present there again.

[stax76]

Why does it keep muting the audio? I've never had this problem before. If I trim a small segment out of the original file and convert it the sound is there.

[stax76]

@mcjordan

You're welcome.


@lordalibaski

Apparently staxrip just ignores the audio track because the mkv muxer does not recognize the mpeg (and also not vob) file extension. It should work if you rename the file extension to mpg. I'll add mpeg and vob to the list of recognized file types and I'll check why it did not try to demux the audio track or at least generate an assistant message instead of ignoring it silently.

[almanteka]

is there is any option to see the jobs window from this:

Vapoursynth is much more stable than avisynth and fully supports 64-bit Why use avisynth? Encoding speed is always faster.
And the multithread is perfect.
The plug-in is fast indexed by LSMASHSource.dll

StaxRip Best Encoder

[stax76]

staxrip supports both equally. For me the question is why use DirectShow players. ;)

Thank you stax76

It was just bugging me because it would actually work on a smaller file, If I cut a 2 mins or so segment out of the same file it would demux the audio but not on the full size file. I'm going to rename the files now mate and I will get back to you sometime later and tell you the result.

Many thanks

Ps edit... @ stax76

Changing the extension worked mate thank you very much.

I have never used vapoursynth. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I use minimal avisynth commands so it probably wouldn't be extremely difficult to learn.

[L E G E N D]

Hi, i would like to complain about a thing that drove me mad for the past week i might need some help as well.

the whole story is that i'm trying to encode an avisynth filtered video script with NVEnc h265 in StaxRip,
i choose NVEnc to accelerate the process, because the avisynth script contains a lot of filters.

normally encoding with x264/x265 costs a lot of time, then eventualy i assume using NVEnc might get the fps higher ^^

so since i'm in x64 env, i installed avisynth+ for both version 64 and 32, and added the plugins to right places,
everything works fine, i get the video preview in AVSPmod just OK.

the problem is when i start to encode the video, the fps is just the same as when i use only cpu to encode,
the gpu does nothing to speed-up the thing. i used MP_PIPELINE to create a process for each filter with max memory set to 1024 Mb,
and still i get: gpu 3% and VE 9% and fps 24 (max). I kept monitoring the process of MP_pipeline and noticed that cpu actes only without the gpu.

my question: is there anything to do to help accelerate the encoding of avisynth scripts with NVEnc h265/h264! or am i missing something??

i'll leave more details down below:

tell me if you need more details. and Thanks in advance.

Title says it all: qaac handles 6.1 audio correctly but automatic settings default to Nero which copies the 7th channel, so that should be changed.

Thanks!

When using loudness normalization (loudnorm) since it oversamples to 192khz to find true peak (still not enough btw, really need 8x or even up to 32x oversampling) the resulting AAC file is at 96khz instead of downsampling back to 48khz. Fix is to set --rate 48000 if loudnorm is used.

Thanks!

PS - it would be really sweet if someone could come up with a multi-pass solution to hit a target range accurately. Loudnorm does a decent job but is still only guessing. Perhaps writing a statistics file on each pass to adjust based on settings would help? Even having 6 passes, it would still complete before the average movie gets encoded :D

Vapoursynth is much more stable than avisynth and fully supports 64-bit Why use avisynth? Encoding speed is always faster.
And the multithread is perfect.
The plug-in is fast indexed by LSMASHSource.dll

StaxRip Best Encoder

i installed Vapoursynth and the requiring packages just to test it out. it's possible to use it with mkv files converting to x265 using staxrip? what settings i need to use so staxrip use Vapoursynth? thanks in advance for any advice!

@stax76
is there is any way to batch import jobs from an older version of staxrip to a newer one? i use the open project option and select the *.srip file at temp folder one at a time, but with hundreds of projects, i need to add all of them in one easy step, is that possible? thanks for your advice!!!

Install:
Apps\Installers (python, VapourSynth)
Settings:
AVS Filters -> Filter Setup -> Vapoursynth

Settings are the same as avisynth

There's a couple things AVISynth does that Vaporsynth doesn't (yet) SuperRes is one

[Natty]

because avisynth uses lower RAM
