hevron,

1) for JPSDR:
-default one in Staxrip releases is Clang W7 AVX to allow compatibility with older generation CPUs
-you can manually replace with Release tClang W7 AVX2 if you have a more recent processor (by recent I mean not older than 4-5 years approximately)

2) for AviSynth+, we use the 3.6xx fork, not the 2.x, get it here https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases

hevron · 16th November 2020, 16:10

44vince44, thanks a lot for the clarification, Release Clang W7 AVX2 is more suitable for me.
This link https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases has AviSynth + 3.6.1/ Date = 2020-06-20, but we have Version 3.6.2 test 2 /Date = 2020-08-31

You're welcome hevron!
I don't know where Stax76 got the beta, but I believe soon there'll be an official release. When Stax76 includes a beta in Staxrip, it's due to a specific fix that he has been expecting.

I tried to use DSS2 as a source filter for the first time (StaxRip v2.1.3.0) as I wanted to try it on a variable frame rate MKV (from a DVD using makemkv). But I run into the following error every time:

Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong? I don't use vapoursynth, only avisynth so not sure if the "VS_In" refers to that. Checking in the apps-manage menu it says "DSS2mod - status OK". Here is the mediainfo of the file if that matters:

"Width : 720 pixels
Height : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 4:3
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 24.035 FPS
Original frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits"

Would appreciate any advice if anyone has an idea on how to get DSS2 working.

EDIT: Resolved, as described below

Mister XY · 24th November 2020, 08:49

A small question, is it possible that i can use my own compiled ffmpeg version to encode videos? If i change the folder for ffmpeg, ffmpeg crashed with error message.

If anyone else has this issue, I resolved it by installing lavfilters. DSS2 requires lavfilters to either be:
- installed on the system
- LAVFilters.ax files in the \LAVFilters subfolder in the same folder where avss.dll is placed (not the case with staxrip)
- a path to the LAVFilters.ax files specified using "lavf_path"

ChaosKing · 24th November 2020, 11:40

Makes sense, as DirectShow uses codecs installed on your system. DSS2 does *not* require lavfilter but it happens to be that it installed the needed codec on your system.
Why not just use ffms2 or lsmash?

Mister XY · 26th November 2020, 10:37

A little problem. If I want to create a 2 pass video with ffmpeg, it saves the file ffmpeg2pass-0 in the Staxrip folder. The problem with this is if Staxrip does not have rights access to it will be prohibited. Can't you do it so that the ffmpeg2pass-0 file is saved in the Temp Files folder?
Thx

44vince44 · 28th November 2020, 05:13

Mister XY I confirm this. It's a bug. The command line of ffmpeg should include the -passlogfile option with the temp location specified. This is a real bug, I will create a ticket in github, mentioning your find.

The problem is solved by adding the custom switch -passlogfile "%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog"

I've noted that as well in the bug report.

Mister XY · 28th November 2020, 13:53

I must do anything wrong. I add this line -passlogfile "%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog" to the custom line in ffmpeg window, but when start to encode i get this message.
Cannot write log file '%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog-0.log' for pass-1 encoding: No such file or directory

You're doing nothing wrong. The macro value is not being passed :-(
Another bug?

Not only %temp_dir%, but ALL MACROS are not passed from the custom line :-((((( It seems the custom line does not support macros.

So in that case, only as workaround, use a system env variable -passlogfile "%temp%\ffmpeg2passlog"
This will use the global user temporary folder (as defined in your system)

Mister XY · 29th November 2020, 08:43

OK, i have also seen, that the macros did not passing. If i have set decoder to another decoder looks like software, dxva2 etc. i must set the crop values. If i set the values via macros, it did not pass.

It's not a permissions issue of being able to create or write files in the temporary directory, because the Staxrip log shown is being created and written there successfully by Staxrip.exe.

But two different tools as shown in the log -- mkvextract.exe trying to create "ID1 23ms English.aac", and then ffmpeg.exe trying to create "ID1 23ms English.m4a" -- complain as though files cannot be created in the "C:\Files\Staxrip\The.File_temp" temp area.

Microsoft's Process Monitor shows me the tools are receiving ACCESS_DENIED in their attempt to create those files, as though it actually is a permissions issue.

But Staxrip creates the log file in the temp area successfully, and I can create files in the temp area using File Explorer. Both Staxrip.exe and File Explorer are running as normal non-elevated processes. Running Staxrip.exe as administrator still results in the same failure for mkvextract.exe and ffmpeg.exe.

I've concluded that the issue this: In the path shown, C:\Files\ is a mount point. Meaning C:\ itself is an SSD drive, but C:\Files\ is the mount point of a multi-terabyte magnetic drive for work space. The successful temp folder creation & successful log file creation by Staxrip.exe itself receives REPARSE in response to the C:\Files\-involved path, but the tools simply fail with ACCESS_DENIED.

It seems like "suddenly" Staxrip processing cannot traverse a mount point. Staxrip.exe itself can still traverse that path; but not the tools being launched.

This happens with 2.1.5.5.Beta and 2.1.7.0.Stable. Note the log says "Windows 10 2009", and my WinVER confirms "20H2 19042.685".

If I run 2.1.3.0.Stable or 2.1.4.8.Beta against the same source file in the same folder setup, the tools are able to create and write to files in the temporary area just fine.

Some unintended consequence of how the tools were updated for long path handling? Or can someone refute these results, and you are able to use a mount point in the path under Windows 20H2 successfully; meaning I should continue digging for a more specific root cause?

@Trench, is it possible to edit the properties of your C:\Files\Staxrip\ folder and set permissions (full control) to you as user? do mount points allow that ?
We must know if the problem persists after that.

stax76 · 8th January 2021, 16:36

@Trench

The only relevant change I remember is changing the current directory of the staxrip process to the video temp folder, this was not long ago. Before the current folder of the staxrip process was usually the startup folder where staxrip is located. That's something a child process inherits.

44vince44 · 8th January 2021, 17:57

When creating folders directly in C:\ the system does not give them proper permissions for free read/write operations. Unlike a folder created in the user's official temp tree, or in the user's tree more generally.
As we are discussing something happening with a temp folder, it is wise to check the permissions on the folder C:\Files\Staxrip\ in Trench's case.
This should not be considered as a problem in Staxrip, even if it used to work otherwise.

So, @Trench, please check and do the permissions change, or set your paths to locations that you have R/W control on.

@stax76 Can you please compile Staxrip more often?
I see there are more than 75 changes since the last release 2.1.7.0
I'm impatiently waiting...

Thank you

44vince44 Registered User Join Date: May 2020 Posts: 188	hevron, 1) for JPSDR: -default one in Staxrip releases is Clang W7 AVX to allow compatibility with older generation CPUs -you can manually replace with Release tClang W7 AVX2 if you have a more recent processor (by recent I mean not older than 4-5 years approximately) 2) for AviSynth+, we use the 3.6xx fork, not the 2.x, get it here https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases Last edited by 44vince44; 16th November 2020 at 13:44.

When Stax76 includes a beta in Staxrip, it's due to a specific fix that he has been expecting. Last edited by 44vince44; 22nd November 2020 at 08:14.

DavidRyan Registered User Join Date: Nov 2019 Posts: 25	I tried to use DSS2 as a source filter for the first time (StaxRip v2.1.3.0) as I wanted to try it on a variable frame rate MKV (from a DVD using makemkv). But I run into the following error every time: Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong? I don't use vapoursynth, only avisynth so not sure if the "VS_In" refers to that. Checking in the apps-manage menu it says "DSS2mod - status OK". Here is the mediainfo of the file if that matters: "Width : 720 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 24.035 FPS Original frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits" Would appreciate any advice if anyone has an idea on how to get DSS2 working. EDIT: Resolved, as described below Last edited by DavidRyan; 24th November 2020 at 11:21.

ChaosKing Registered User Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Germany Posts: 1,752	Makes sense, as DirectShow uses codecs installed on your system. DSS2 does not require lavfilter but it happens to be that it installed the needed codec on your system. Why not just use ffms2 or lsmash? __________________ AVSRepoGUI // VSRepoGUI - Package Manager for AviSynth // VapourSynth VapourSynth Portable FATPACK \|\| VapourSynth Database \|\| https://github.com/avisynth-repository

44vince44 Registered User Join Date: May 2020 Posts: 188	Mister XY I confirm this. It's a bug. The command line of ffmpeg should include the -passlogfile option with the temp location specified. This is a real bug, I will create a ticket in github, mentioning your find. The problem is solved by adding the custom switch -passlogfile "%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog" I've noted that as well in the bug report. Last edited by 44vince44; 28th November 2020 at 05:40.

hevron Registered User Join Date: Jun 2020 Posts: 25	44vince44, thanks a lot for the clarification, Release Clang W7 AVX2 is more suitable for me. This link https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases has AviSynth + 3.6.1/ Date = 2020-06-20, but we have Version 3.6.2 test 2 /Date = 2020-08-31

Mister XY Registered User Join Date: Jun 2014 Posts: 82	A little problem. If I want to create a 2 pass video with ffmpeg, it saves the file ffmpeg2pass-0 in the Staxrip folder. The problem with this is if Staxrip does not have rights access to it will be prohibited. Can't you do it so that the ffmpeg2pass-0 file is saved in the Temp Files folder? Thx

Mister XY Registered User Join Date: Jun 2014 Posts: 82	I must do anything wrong. I add this line -passlogfile "%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog" to the custom line in ffmpeg window, but when start to encode i get this message. Cannot write log file '%temp_dir%\ffmpeg2passlog-0.log' for pass-1 encoding: No such file or directory

Mister XY Registered User Join Date: Jun 2014 Posts: 82	OK, i have also seen, that the macros did not passing. If i have set decoder to another decoder looks like software, dxva2 etc. i must set the crop values. If i set the values via macros, it did not pass.
