@weaver4
The audio source file is a mp3 file but the source is a DVD, did you create the MP3 source file manually in the audio settings dialog (you don't have to do this) or is it from a previous project? It would be better to select the original AC3 file as audio source file. This does not explain the error though, it could be because it is a network drive or because the target filename has a dot, MP4Box might have problems with such things, maybe you can test things with a small sample clip. You said even with the error the output file looks OK? What I find a bit unusual is the high audio bitrate of 174.40 kbps in relation to the small image size of 640x272.

Interesting. Generally I make a DivX/MP3 avi file first. Then I go in and select the *.d2v file as the input to make a H264/AAC mp4 movie. Never noticed that it picked up the *.mp3 file that was made for the avi file for the audio.
I will try the other things you mentioned. and get back to you. |

I tried it by removing the period, no effect. But when I muxed to a local drive it worked fine, so the problem happens when it is a networked mapped drive.
The files are OK, but I get this error. Do you do anything to the file after the file is muxed, like set permissions? |

BTW: When you do a Divx file first and have a mp3 file in the folder. Then you try to do a mp4 with a aac file Staxrip will select the the mp3 file that is already in the folder not the ac3 file for the audio input file. This will happen even if you select new vob file and have them indexed so that a new ac3 file is generated. This is bad.

But my iPod will not play MKV.
What I do is that I have two Templates one for DivX/MP3 CQ 4.0 and one for H264/AAC CRF 24. When I encode the movie with the DivX Template then I select the H264 Template and select a d2v (or vob) file. Even though the H264 Template uses AAC for audio it loads the mp3 file instead of the ac3 file. |

I've added support for CRF values using decimal numbers, unfortunately it was too difficult to add migration code, all CRF values were reset to 22.

PS: I've reported the MP4Box bug to the MP4Box author.

I was playing with RipBot264 since they also use MP4box. But with RipBot264 I do not get the error...very strange. Here is the mp4box command line from RipBot264.
"C:\Tools\RipBot\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -tmp "E:\temp\RipBot264temp" -add "E:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" -fps 23.976 -add "E:\temp\RipBot264temp\audio.aac" -mpeg4 -new "J:\Movies\Movies-H264\My Movie--zrbq22-pch.mp4" |

And if you use the RipBot MP4Box version with StaxRip?

I've noticed a lot of overcropping with v1.1.1.0, especially horizontal. It crops movies even if they don't have any black borders and dimensions are mod 16. Any reasons for that?
Also, when I save a new template and set it as default, it keeps nagging me to "upgrade" to Staxrip's default values. (I prefer user-defined filesize and mp4.) Last edited by bmnot; 13th July 2008 at 21:19. |

Wanted to offer up some kudos to you Stax.
Really like the fact you made it so one can select different parameters for the encode process - especially Bitrate by Percent. I enjoy being able to quickly, easily and accurately decide on the bitrate, filesize and quality percentage I desire the output to be. For instance, with just a few mouse clicks I can see the potential outcome of 70% quality versus 90% and how they would affect filesize and bitrate. Yes, I frequently use a much higher % than you recommend and probably what many users use. I am sure it may probably be overkill. Yet, for the little bit extra in MB to the filesize plus a nice bitrate boost. I find the level of detail (skin, hair, fine details) in the picture to be much better with a higher % - which is worth it to me. My goal is to 'archive' DVD's for a HTPC setup. So, for example, if going from 470MB to just 520MB nets me a near 100% Q versus 70ish% for an episode I will rewatch many times. I'll gladly do that. If I get about half the source filesize, full resolution and near transparent quality I am quite happy. :-) The Crop window is super easy to use. The Preview window showing how the video would look with selected filters is an awesome bonus. I like that you show the source fps - helpfull to know when to de-interlace, IVTC, or just leave progessive. As you can tell I am pleased with that you have created. Look forward to using StaxRip to expand my HTPC and to the improvements you may make to StaxRip in the future. Cheers, Rick

I don't think stax actually wants to abandon the programme, just that development for one person takes a lot of time so I understand if he doesn't want to spend all his time on it! The source code is available, I'm sure if there are people willing to help him with its continued development that he'd graciously allow them to, and it doesn't mean he has to stop developing it himself but it would be good for both users and stax if there were people willing to do as such. Maybe a good avisynth script editor built in would get more people using it, allowing for more customisation of scripts. In any case, its is my preferred editor/encoder, so I hope its still continued!

Next 6 month will likely to be very slow, sorry. I'll spend more time with C++, DVBViewer, MediaPortal an MediaMonkey, just yesterday I contributed to DVBViewer since most of my support requests were ignored:
