I haven't used the DGHable script, only DGIndex, Resize to 1080p and DGHDRtoSDR with avisynth (mode = "pq", white = 1800, fulldepth = true).
The value of "white" increases gamma, at 1800 the video is dark, I gave 2300.
Maybe it does not comply with BT.709 standards, but it is good for my eyes and ips monitor. The color corresponds to reality.

Hmm my problem with the slow video after encoding does not exist when encoding with Handbrake. Tried now four different deinterlacers, each result is the same. Slow video, normal audio speed.

These separate fields must be terrible...

StaxRip has stopped hardcoding subtitles. I have try versions 2.0 to 2.0.6.0 and they all have stopped hardcoding subtiles.

StaxRip does not error out when encoding video file, it just does
not HC subtitles. It does the same thing with subtitles I use
srt and ass files.

Log file attached.


Thank you for any help on this.

Hello everyone, I have many doubts when using staxrip, I would like to ask if anyone can give me a link or explain through the forum how to configure and use staxrip 2.0.6 for movies in 4k hdr in the best quality using nvenc NVIDIA? I have doubts as to the decoder if it is better to use vapourSynth or AviSynth or even nvenc hardware or software .... etc
i have nvidia asus gtx 1070ti
it's hard to find tutorial on the internet
if anyone can explain me, I will be very grateful.
thank you!

NVEnc 4.57 is released today.

- Add HLG->SDR support to vpp-colorspace hdr2sdr.
- Fix typo of a parameter. ( arib-srd-b67 -> arib-std-b67)
- Remove "w" option from vpp-colorspace hdr2sdr=hable, now will be calculated by source_peak / ldr_nits.
- Fix sub-copy not working from NVEnc 4.56.
- Fix trueHD decode error in mkv which has certain pattern of timestamps.
- Fix vpp-afs level= 0 getting unexpexted artifacts.

Here.

Yeah, I ran into this tonight while encoding "Men in Black." After a bit of troubleshooting, I concluded that the problem lays with VSFilterMod, or at the very least it was worth bypassing it. Since I also have Ripbot264 installed on my system, I copied the VSFilter plugin from Ripbot's plugin folder... pasted it into Staxrip's AVS plugins folder... then edited Staxrip's AVS script so that it would point to it. It worked: the subs are burned into the video as expected.

If you try this approach, you can edit the necessary commands from Staxrip's filter editor. After placing VSFilter into your AVS plugins folder, open the editor and you'll see a command like, "TextSubMod (your subtitle file's path and file name.)" In my case, I replaced this text with:

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\write\Documents\StaxRip-x64-2.0.6.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\AVS\VSFilter\VSFilter.dll")
TextSub("F:\Men in Black.srt")

Of course you'll likely have a different file path than mine, but that's the tall and skinny of it. It's clunky, but it works!

You should've got a newer Nvidia-card for HEVC/H.265 NVEnc-encoding, since the newest graphicscards gives better picture quality for the bitrate (the new ones handles B-frames!),
I mean the cards in the list with "HEVC B Frame support" here,

Questions like this tend to be loaded, since quality's subjective. I could post the settings I use, but it'd fall flat on two counts: the first is that I'm using a GTX 1660, which supports the use of b-frames and uses a different architecture than your card. The second is that someone else will inevitably chime in with "Why the heck are you using X setting? You're wasting bits!!!" Because I like my settings, I'll be right. Because he likes HIS settings, he'll be right. That's why this forum frowns on the "What's best?" question.

The most general advice I can offer is to make sure you're using 10-bit instead of 8-bit, use the Main 10 profile in your encoder, and run some tests from there. If you use low CQP values, you'll get better quality which will come at the expense of larger file sizes. If you use high VBR settings, same deal: better quality, bigger file sizes. Only you can determine where your sweet spot is. And once you find it, you'll be just as right as anyone else.

I found the reason for the wrong encoding of my videos.

ffms2.dll with version 2019-08-30 StvG is producing faulty videos for me. If I use the "old" 2.23.1 (latest version) from the website, then my video is encoded just fine.

I noticed, that during the x264 encode, the amount of frames was considerably higher than with the ffms2.dll shipped from StaxRip 2.

I uploaded an example. No additional filters needed.

Old ffms2.dll shows this info in StaxRip:


New ffms2.dll shows this info in StaxRip:

Notice the FPS of the Source Video.

.

right

i use FFVideoSource("%source_file%", cachefile="%source_temp_file%.ffindex", fpsnum=60000, fpsden=1001)
#AssumeFPS(25)

have problem

use Old ffms2.dll is Works perfectly...

Now I have to check hundreds of video clips I have encoded since 2.0.4.0 came out, crap...

When converting DVDs and BluRays I don't open the resulting file immediately. Never had a reason to.

I have write me a small bash script for linux. That script search for mkv files with frames higher than 24 and write it to a log file.
I must start this Script with

./mediainfo.sh "/mnt/md0/Video"

but i have to install the bin mediainfo

#!/bin/bash

FRAusgabe="/root/x265FRinfo.txt"	# Output for the logfile	
WriAppi=""							# mkvmerge or HandBrake or another
miniFR="24"							# minimal Frames


Frames() {
	if [ -f $FRAusgabe ]
		then
		rm $FRAusgabe
	fi

	find "$UF_FOLDER" . -type f -iname "*.mkv" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' linefr; do
		if [ `mediainfo --inform= "$linefr" | grep "Writing application" | grep -c "$WriAppi"` -eq 1 ]; then
			mediainfver=$(mediainfo --inform="Video;%FrameRate%" "$linefr")
			if [ `mediainfo --inform="Video;%FrameRate%" "$linefr" | cut -c 1-2` -ge $miniFR ]; then
				echo $linefr FPS:$mediainfver | sed "s|$UF_FOLDER||" >> $FRAusgabe
			fi
		fi
	done

}

case "$1" in
			* )
            UF_FOLDER="$1"
			Frames
			;;

Quick status update on the hardware renderer for the preview and crop dialog, I've reached 2 milestones recently and will hopefully have a first beta within a month.

[JKyle]

rigaya released NVEnc 4.58 today.

Some bug fixes.

- Fix memory leak in audio processing.
- Fix HEVC level not shown properly on the log.
- Fix issue that encode speed and bitrate were not shown properly by --pref-monitor.

Here.

x264 159 r2991 was released yesterday.

Here.

However, the official build distributed by VideoLAN lacks support for ffms and MP4 container as you may know.

I'd like to see if @Patman is interested in building a customized version with that kind of support as he's been doing recently.

(And ffmpeg and others as well.)

Thanks in advance.

Hi JKyle,

I will do, maybe at weekend. My hdd has crashed two weeks ago, so I had no time to build my custom builds.

I'm deeply sorry to hear that.
It explains why your builds have not been updated over the last 3 weeks. Hmm...
Hope the data isn't lost along and you recover quickly.

I'm on a good way

Hi,
I used staxrip x64 2.0.6.0 to encode these games but received "unsupported video data" from Samsung (2009) playing from external hd. Please help. Thank you.

Okay... I looked into this some more since this doesn't seem to be a wide-spread problem, yet we're both having it. I found a solution that hopefully helps you out, too.

Check to see what your decoder is set to. I was using my Nvidia card before, and I can't tell from your log if you're doing the same. Switch it to AVIsynth+/Vaporsynth. While you're at it, make sure Staxrip sees no problem with your AVIsynth+ installation--and if it does, reinstall it.

Once done with those steps, try rerunning your project and see if that clears things up. On my end, it did: no more directing it to Ripbot's VSFilter or other lasso tricks. It runs just as it always had before. Fingers crossed here, but hopefully it'll dig you out, too.

If it does, please reply so if anyone else out there's having this problem, they'll know to make sure Staxrip is playing nice with AVIsynth+.
