Get BeLight. You make the settings and it gives back the cmdline

I forgot to update, it's compatible so you can use it anyway, you can disable the warning.

@Sirber

Thanks, I'll take a look at this tool.

Hi there,
this is a great tool Stax , thanks for your hardwork.I recently started using it and I have a problem , I am trying to encode some anime raws from Japan at 120 fps with your tool to make x264 mkv files.The problem is I couldnt find a way to reduce the fps to 23.976 ; in which my ssa subtitle is.I really don't know anything much about avisynth but tried this :

Decimate(5).Decimate(4).Decimate(2).Decimate(3)

which gives me : 23.98

How can I achive 23.976 fps ?

Thanks.

0.9.2.0 (2006-01-07)

• new: Full controls over x264 turbo switches.
• new: Additional x264 CLI switches that don't have GUI controls yet can be added.

@traragorn

You can try post to the AviSynth forum.

Here's high-quality audio profile, "Nero 5.1ch HE-AAC 192 KBit/s"

Output type: AAC-HE
Bitrate: 192
Command Lines: "%application:BeSweet%" -core( -input "%input%" -output "%output%" ) -azid( -c normal -L -3db ) -ota( -d %delay% -hybridgain ) -bsn( -6chnew -aacprofile_he -vbr_normal --codecquality_high )

@LRN

Thanks, I'll add it.

I'm very impressed. I love the dialogs. so many apps are lacking clarification on options. I like that it downloads those filters too, they can be tricky to find! Is it necessary that I have all the missing apps installed before it lets me continue? I just played with it briefly!

[LRN]

You should install only required apps (i.e. if you encoding with x264, you don't need DivX, XviD etc)

How can i add the audio MP3 128 VBR Profile ? Thx

Create a new audio profile by clicking New in the audio profiles dialog, one of the defaults is exactly what you want.

[Mr.BeNDER]

Thanks Can you add the last Xvid version, because he spend his time to saiy i don't have the good one ?

[stax76]

I've added it already so it will be available next release, you can disable the warning and use it anyway meanwhile.

[Mr.BeNDER]

Thanks for your god job, maybe you could help me again, i want to rip a 21 minutes anime, so i have put in staxrip a size of 178 mo but after the compressability check he put a size of 360 mo and a 2168 bitrate ! How can i fix that ? i want a 178mo video in 640x480 ....

[stax76]

In StaxRip most settings are located where they logically belong to, comp check is a encoder feature and thus filesize adjustment after the comp check options are in the encoder options.

May I ask why you want exactly 178 MB? Hitting a filesize means making compromises with image size and bitrate and that mean making compromises with quality, XviD quality mode at quant 3 might be a good alternative.

[Mr.BeNDER]

Well 178mo for a 20 minute video in DVB is a good deal, i have always do like that and all the people i know too.

[LRN]

After compressibility check StaxRip establishes a link between video bitrate and resolution (video bitrate and filesize is already linked as "filesize = VideoBitrate*MovieLength + AudioBitrate*MovieLength"), showing this as "quality". Quality 100% means, what you won't loose anything (except a small unavoidable quality loss due to recompression). Your goal is to reach quality nearest to 100% (90+ or 110-), because quality more than 100 is not better than 100. If you need EXACTLY 178 Mb filesize, then you can change resolution. If you need one PARTICULAR, exact resolution, then you should change video bitrate (and thus filesize).
I'm DVD-backuper, so i'm restricted to 700 Mb,1400 Mb and 2100 Mb filesizes. Because of it, i can only change resolution, not bitrate.
In your case, you should set resolution to 640, and then decrease (or increase) bitrate until quality reaches 100%

P.S. This is applicable for x264. I did not used XviD in StaxRip, maybe for XviD everything is different.

[stax76]

Well 178mo for a 20 minute video in DVB is a good deal, i have always do like that and all the people i know too.

That only applies when the compressibility is in the normal range while using quality mode would always be a good deal regardless of the compressibility. Depending on your source compressibility can differ greatly so you got to be careful with such calculations.

Hi! I've a problem with StaxRip... simply it doesn't start I've Windows XP Professional SP2 in Italian Language with the .NET Framework 2.0 installed... maybe the problem is the language?

Sorry for my english.

[Mr.BeNDER]

so what i must do ?

In the main menu select Help/Send Bug Report.

edit: OK, this is my default answer and pretty stupid in that case, sorry but I don't know a possible reason.

Maybe you should give quality mode a try, in the XviD encoder options dialog check Quality Mode and in the XviD configuration dialog load defaults and change Quantizer to 3.
