Given people are learning AV1 is software, I would stick with H265 where settings are pretty well known.

I assume you have a powerful system as need a 4000 series RTX.
If so consider H265 software encoding for 1080p as with a powerful CPU, won't be too slow.
I use NVENC H265. as encode quite a lot , so quicker, use a good amount of bit rate , for older movies use KNLmeansCL Light, as I feel tradeoff to picture so slight for gains.
I get pretty good SSim PSNR scores , except for 1 in 20 old movies where must add something to throw those checks . But when I check, it looks fine enough for me. Have heard some movies throw in hard to encode random noise, not sure it true

I'm on Win 11 and recently had to uninstall iTunes and use the Windows App version instead. The problem is that I don't have CoreAudioToolbox.dll anymore. It is in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AppleInc..... which is inaccessible.

Now what should I do for good AAC encoding? Can I separately get it somewhere or use something else to encode audio?

I know you're only the "messenger" but someone needs to be doing more testing before a new release, unless they are depending on users for feedback...

But 3 release in just hours....

Never complain about people who work for free. That said, I never instantly update any major release ever as there are always some bugs happily harvesting the new features.

Wrong! StaxRip v2.38.5 was just released! I agree it's ridiculous. At least limit it to one release per day. Keep the fixes.

Not a complaint, an observation...must be frustrating for StaxRip users, this had been going on for months.

I know they are trying to implement more & more options, but.....

Yes it's not the right way to do stuff even if it's free.

I copied StaxRip-v2.38.5-x64-EXE-ONLY to v2.38 and it erased all my settings. I have to start from zero.

[Atlantis]

Oh boy, don't download v2.38.5 it broke everything. Now I did a clean install and when running the program it is not asking where to put the settings.

StaxRip v2.38.6

Also replacing v2.38.0's StaxRip.exe only lets StaxRip ask you for the Settings folder like on a clean start. This is okay when updating from v2.38.0 and won't happen anymore. Just select the folder you already use and you're fine. Sorry for not mentioning that before.

I don't know what you are complaining about ...
When I open the app, and I see there is a new release, I check the patch notes and if there is nothing of interest for me, I just dismiss that version.
But ... that's just me

When encoding using x265, the Gamma info is not passed. How to pass the Gamma info?
