Would it be possible to add a job timer somewhere? I would like to be able to see the total job time on encodes to see how long a job has taken with certain settings and across different machines. I've got your prog. on about 5 machines all with different hardware and am testing out encoding times with various AVI synth filters. I think this would be a great addition.

thanks

Would be the overall time at the end of a encode's log file OK? IMHO I got it all wrong with the x264 dialog, I think I can do better. There were absolutely no positive feedback about the intermediate state feature but quite a few bug reports because of a wrong intermediate state configuration that I didn't verify. I'll dump this feature, make it easier using automated modes while giving control over the turbo switches, add verifications, add a bitrate/quant slider and maybe even add the x264 logo on top. Before everything I have to fix the pending bugs.

How about just displaying the total job time somewhere in the window? Or maybe make an option to have a box pop up with the time...I don't know. Whatever you think is best.

@chipzoller

You mean once a job is finshed displaying how long it took in the job window? I tend to keep everything related processing as elementary as possible. As soon as the processing starts threads are involved and features here usually end up in much complexity and work and if things go worse subtle bugs.

Or just some way that Staxrip shows the total processing time of a given job is all I'm after, whether it be shown in the main window or in the log file. I just need to see some time frame in which jobs are completed. This is useful for a variety of reasons and should really be available in staxrip.

You mean predicting the total time it takes to encode a project, it's not possible. The processing applications calculate and display values while processing. Once things are completed writing it to the job file is easy.

I don't mean predicting the total time, I mean displaying the total time AFTER the encoding process is finished. Meaning, starting a time from the beginning of the job and displaying the time it took to complete the job somewhere, either in a log file or other.
I'm thinking of how GordianKnot displays the complete job time when the encoding is finished in the log window...something like that.

Hi stax,

I'm playing with your new tool. Very interesting.
After a mini test, I have some tiny question:

- x264 automatically downloaded is rel. 334, very old. Do you think to keep it up to date, in the future?

- using Trellis, encoding fails (both kind) silently. Does exist a log file where read codec output (or x264 output)? Do you know the reasons of the error? Same problem with latest x264.
Manually running cl get me an "unknown option ( )" error. MeGUI with the same settings has no problems.

cmd line:
Code:
"x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 1443 --stats "HPII.stats" --ref 4 --bframes 5 --trellis 1 --progress --no-psnr --output NUL "HPII.avs"
- Did you planned to include x264 profile management in future releases?

Anyway, thank you for your great program!

bye

Yes, lately there were more interest so yes I'll work on x264 related things soon.

I don't know, maybe you can find out executing it manually?

There is a profile feature, only thing missing is some default profiles. It's likely a frequently requested feature (you are not the first asking) and thus will likely come, it's not really easy.

Very nice front-end. Just trying it out now.

Is there a reason why it doesn't allow x264 in an avi container?

Not standard. Time to move to a standard one... MP4 or MKV.

Sorry about the delay, here is the fix for 64 bit system: http://www.planetdvb.net/staxrip/StaxRip_Hotfix.zip

I wouldn't be surprised if more 64 bit system related bugs crop up.
