StaxRip

[shodan5000]

Well, anyone else interested in maintaining StaxRip?

[Zcehtro]

I believe a major concern when using StaxRip, is maintaining the plugins/apps/tools up to date, and therefore the GUI that operates their parameters as well.

Regarding the application functionality and features in itself, it should be only secondary if the main objective is to at least keep the project alive.

I'd love to help out, but my coding experience is mainly in VBA with Excel. At best I write simple AVS scripts but nothing advanced like from the legendary Didée.

Guys,

In the event nobody wants to maintain staxrip, will Adobe media encoder do a great job in converting x264 to x265? Will it also capable converting different audio formats to aac?

Thanks

In case anyone wants to update their portable Vapoursynth from R54 to R55 there is a maintenance release that works fine with Staxrip 2.10.

https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapou...s/tag/R55-API3

Download the 64bit portable version and unzip in to staxrip\Apps\FrameServer\VapourSynth\.

There is a compatibility issue with R55, checkout the following commit:

There are 2 builds of R55.

The one I'm talking about is a maintenance release. vs.get_core() still works so compatible with Staxrip.

This is the one you are referencing. vs.get_core() has been replaced with vs.core and doesn't work with Staxrip.

I see, thanks for the tip.

Is anyone willing to help a newbie out with using this program? How do I actually implement additional filters into my encode like dedot, anti-aliasing, FastLineDarken, or line thinning (I forget what the line thinning filter was if anyone could remind me)?

I've gone through some posts on here which say you can see your code "The entire script is shown in the menu with 'Preview Code'." but I only see Preview in the top menu which opens up the video instead of any code.

Thank you

I noticed if you have a 5.1 flac and choose to encode it to stereo AAC, it doesn't do the conversion. The conversion works if you have ac3 or dts 5.1.

It seems the channel conversion to stereo happens in here
------------------------ Convert AC3 to FLAC 2 ------------------------

ffmpeg N-103081-gf7958d0883-x64-gcc10.3.0 Patman

"....ffmpeg.exe" -i "....English.ac3" -af volume=1.2dB -y -hide_banner -ac 2 "....ID1 English_562399560.flac"

So if your source is already flac 5.1, the conversion to stereo never happens.

Do a bug report, I see some activity from Dendraspis.

Is the R57 version also to be tested with StaxRip?
Thank you

Problem with StaxRip 2.11.0 only.

I tried to use the mClean VS filter and I received an error message 👍

Can you encode 2 video tracks in one job? For example to have HDR and SDR video tracks in one file.

[BobDig]

Probably no one wants that, because most players these days do it on the fly (HDR->SDR)?

Dendraspis is maintaining staxrip on Github. He does not use the forum, so if anyone is wanting things fixed/updated it's probably best to refer to the github.

https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

He also maintains a discord server for staxrip https://discord.gg/uz8pVR79Bd

[DMD]

Good morning.
In the NVEnc section I can't find the INFO option as in the x265> Bitstream section.
Some idea?
Thanks
