    rm gtk, avc2avi.
    I don't remember why I allowed a gui into the repository in the first place. There's 
    nothing that makes this one special relative to all the other x264 guis.
    avc2avi doesn't compile since we removed the bitstream reader. And avc doesn't belong in avi.

    Resolve quality regression in r996
    Accidentally removed the wrong line of code.  I think this classifies as a "10l".
    Thanks to techouse for initial bug report and skystrife for helping me find it.

    Fix minor memory leak accidentally added with the addition of b-adapt 2
Just copy the v999 over the v996, all will be well.

Hi,

First off thanks for the amazingly simple to use software

I'm trying to archive my Family Guy dvds. I'm trying with Season 1 to include everything including chapters and subtitles.

Chapters isn't a problem when I use robot4rip but I can never seem to get the subtitles to work properly. If I use StaxRip it creates the .idx file for subtitle and adds it to the container properties. However when I go to transcode the video at the very end it comes up with the error:

Code:

The final video still works fine but the subtitles do not. Any ideas?

@GrimRe

Welcome to the forum. Please try the latest beta and post the diagnostic file if it still fails. How to create the diagnostic file is described in the first post of the bug report thread, the link to this thread is in my signature.

The log file shows your audio file is mkv, is this on purpose? Usually the audio file passed to the muxer is either AAC or AC3. MKV as audio file might not work but if you post the specs of the file using MediaInfo I might be able to fix it. I didn't think somebody would want to add a mkv file as audio source file.

Stax, I've been a long time user of staxrip and I must say it's still my favorite. That's why I've been trying to get DGAVCIndexNV to work with it. I was hoping to do a simple renaming of the programs to substitute them for DGAVCIndex and DGDecode.dll. By changing the names of the files I can get staxrip to use DGAVCIndexNV but after it's done making the dga file it reports a mismatch of DGDecode.dll even though I changed and renamed the one in the avisynth plugins directory. Anyway, is there anything I can do with my extremely limited knowledge to get this to work?

Also, I'm using the latest beta and avisynth 2.58r4a. I can easily switch back to 2.57 but I've tested it with both and the results were the same.

No.

Neuron2 has to fix this bug. It will not work with StaxRip or MeGUI until he fixed it. Renaming doesn't help like you already saw.

You're correct, but I'm sure it will be fixed soon. I have faith in Neuron2's abilities.

Sorry to ask such a simple question. I was trying to add avisynth filters into staxrip(I have not yet succeeded). Staxrip came up with an unhandled exception when I closed the profiles idalog I was trying to create, as I used [NOISE] as the category now I cannot add noise filters from the add filters dialog to the staxrip box. Is there anyway to fix this ?

I am searching in C:\Documents and Settings\flebber\Local Settings\Application Data\StaxRip but cannot find anything to alter.

Is there a "safe" method to add avisynth filters in ? I found this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...ip+add+filters but that didn't work well it has led to my above error.

PS I am using version 2115

I didn't file a bug report because I created the error trying to add an avisynth filter. It wasn't your fine work that caused the problem.

I've noticed that all my encodes are slightly longer than the original VOBs (is this a result of the IVTC from 29.97 to 23.976 fps?). While the audio is synced correctly, this throws all my chapters out of sync. How can I work get my audio/video to the original DVD lengths?

If you need to use some external script in StaxRip, you should add it, in the same way as you do with Deinterlace, Resize and other AviSynth filters.
Few pages back i posted here my own ripped-off variant of seesaw.avs script, adapted for StaxRip.
I found this post, I had just totally screwed up staxrip trying to add filters. Can you point me in the direction of a guide on how to add filters or scipts ?

I basically want to be able to use convolution3d, mipsmooth and fft3dfilter in different instances.

I am using Staxrip 1.1.1.0

In the Guides under Help in Staxrip this link for screencast by ORION and for alex nigma are not workinghttp://www.thecrave.info/walkthrough...ugh/index.html i(File Not Found). and http://alex.nigma.info/2006/how-to-c...amable-mpeg-4s

excuse me,
how does the macro editor works? I tried building up some macro to recognize audio stream but a simple %eval_vb: (msgbox('aaa'))% fails with syntax error.

thanks,
a.

Can this program be flagged "abandoned" now, or is there any change it will still get updated before people step away from it ?
