Why would anyone want variable framerate?

Simply because some sources are like that, such as CCTV recordings and anime.

The first records at a slow pace, increasing frame rate just when movement is detected.

The second use, in their original form, 29,97 for panning and 23,976 for character action. Sometimes it happens to find them in the original form.

Having a variable framerate output avoids audio desync and keeps video in the original form without having to dedup, telecide, duplicate and so.

Hi. Is this still valid or there;s easier/latest way to encode DV on Staxrip?

thank you

Is there a way to blend a black bar into a video in StaxRip like using Fill Margins in MEGUi? can anyone help me?

[tormento]

Is there a way to save ALL the settings and not only the encoding ones in templates?

At the moment I have two separate installation directories of StaxRip, one to demux and remux after encoding anime, the other one to plain encode the video without any demux or remux involved.

It would be nice to remember everything per template. Any idea?

Good evening.
It is the first time I'm using this magnificent tool, i kindly ask where I can find a guide to set StaxRip to perform encoding for UHD files with codec HEVC and profile Main10High@L5.1
Thank you very much

How are the maintainers doing? Seems like StaxRip has stalled and died development wise.

[DMD]

Good morning.
In the X265 section there is a way to disable Encodind Setting, so that it does not appear in Medianfo?
Thank you very much

It does certainly seem like development has "died"...

"Staxrip" has gone off in another direction, and is developing other app's.

"JKyle" (who was doing a LOT of work), has disappeared, his last post was back in early July '21.

The latest release was back in early October '21. v2.10.0, by "Dendraspis"

Same can be said for RipBot264, there has been a serious lack of updates, or revisions, in what seems like years (but it's probably only about 1)

So sad, too bad

Look under bitstream for "info" and disabled it.
Then you see in the line --no-info and you have no info about your encoding settings.

[DMD]

Thank you for the information.
I tried to do an encoding test UHD, with Intel Core i5 9600K/GeForce RTX 2070 VG258,
with Preset "Very slow" I get a processing of 0.15 fps, with preset "Medium"> (1.56 fps).
I feel like crying, I don't know if I cry less with Ryxen 9 5900X.

Very slow offers little benefit in x265. Use either slower or slow.

I am using qaac and normalize. Where is it passing the gain information here, I don't see it.

I have installed fillborders and AWB_Kelvin using ShiftCCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) function in AVS filters - profiles. Both are working.

Now for the tricky part.

Using vdub2 avisynth i have a set of trim commands

Trim(0,18416)
Trim(18417,20223).ShiftCCT(7700)
Trim(20224,81096)
Trim(81097,81223).ShiftCCT(7700).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255)
Trim(81224,81311)
Trim(81312,86070).ShiftCCT(7700).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255)
Trim(86071,131324)
Trim(131325,136269).Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(136270,151079)
Trim(151080,156603).Levels(0, 1.05, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(156604,159596)
Trim(159597,168204).ShiftCCT(8700).Levels(0, 1.05, 255, 0, 255).Tweak(bright=0,cont=1.1)
Trim(168205,175366)
Trim(175367,184808).ShiftCCT(7700)
Trim(184809,192795)

When i tried to do it in staxrip in one of the avs filters box, it crashed with stack overflow error blah blah.

OverflowException (v2.8.0)

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

It seems i can't use Trim(18417,20223).ShiftCCT(7700) or
Trim(18417,20223)
ShiftCCT(7700)
in one box but
Trim(18417,20223)
another box
ShiftCCT(7700) works.

Is there a way of doing the same or similar to vdub2?
I don't thinks it is practical to do 28 boxes plus other boxes.

Hello, since SVT-AV1 v0.8.7-363 build the following warning appears:

"[SVT-Warning]: --keyint is now intra-period + 1!"

I would like to ask you to test the StaxRip SVT-AV1 encoder Options cmd and GUI settings for upcoming releases.

Thank you

edit: SVT-AV1 0.9 stable was released. Please find all changes for staxrip on gitlab:

Today I noticed that I am updating the x265 encoder x265-3.5+21+12-cb341a7ef-[Mod-by-Patman] is this the correct version for StaxRip?
Thank you

[lazyjss]

Using staxrip x265 to encode some bluray remuxs, after a 2 day long encode, mediainfo shows resulting file as variable frane rate 23.976 instead of constant.
Could anyone tell me how to set a constant frane rate please?

Hi. I've been a long time lurker.

Created an account to ask about the development of StaxRip.
I've noticed that development kind of died, and the project coders are ASAP as far as anybody knows.
I've check here, discord and reddit, and haven't been able to find what has happened.

I'd like to ask seasoned StaxRip users, would the outdated-"ness" of this program eventually render it obsolete? If so, would Handbrake be a viable alternative?
Or would it remain in time?
