@stax76

Many thanks for your hard work and precious output.

Im sorry if this is covered somewhere but I havent seen it. Is there a way for Staxrip to pull the chapters from the mkv file your reencoding automatically? I usually have to create the chapter.xml file manually, then load it from the same mkv I just loaded into Staxrip.

I have problems with 2.0.8.0. I updated today from 2.0.6.0. The problems are with DNxHR HQX YUV422 input files. So StaxRip says, that ConverttoYV12 can only handle 8-Bit Video types. This is correct. But i have no line in my StaxRip Editor Window with "ConvertoYV12()". The line 4 in my AVS Script have really "ConverttoYV12()" inside, but why?

If i delete this line in the AVS Script and do the same the second time, this line will be automatically created. I must roll back to 2.0.6.0, no chance with the newest version.

AVS Script:

LoadPlugin("E:\VIDEOTOOLS\AVIS riPPen\StaxRip-x64-2.0.8.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\Dual\L-SMASH-Works\LSMASHSource.dll")
LSMASHVideoSource("E:\Video\Silent Hill\Untitled.mov", format="YUV422P10")
ConvertToYUV420()
ConvertToYV12()
Crop(0, 0, -0, -0)
Addborders(0, 0, 0, 0)

With v2.0.6.0 the same template works fine! Here 2 pictures what i mean, if i add my Intermediate into the source row.

@-QfG-

Is Tools > Settings > Video | Add filter to convert Chroma subsampling to 4:2:0 enabled? try turning that off.

I think it's always wise to rebuild your profiles when you change stable builds. I've seen some really wacky stuff happen.

@DMagic1,
I've never had any problems with Chapters but i mainly use file batch mode for my encoding runs.

Thanks mate, this is the solution.

@Stax I would change "ConverttoYV12()" with "ConvertToYUV420()", so this option works with 10bit videos, too.

thank you stax,

if I find time, I will try to fix issues and upload corresponding fixes

I am having an issue with StaxRip not loading the frameserver.dll. Where exactly am I supposed to put the dll at? Currently it's in the same folder as the program itself.

Edit
Then it erases my script and does this. It wipes it out, makes a new one and changes MPEG2Source to Import.

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\sd70a\Downloads\StaxRip-x64-2.0.8.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\AVS\yadifmod2\yadifmod2.dll")
Import("C:\1111Ripped DVDs\Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors 02. The Vase of Xiang_temp\Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors 02. The Vase of Xiang.avs")

Hi SD70ACEJM,

frameserver.dll in program folder is right. Have you installed latest VCRedist?

I'm going through the process now. It took a bit to install, now I am installing the 2019 version. When I went in to the Manage, all of my runtimes said OK, before I downloaded the link you provided. I'll check back in a few with an update. Thanks for the help!

[jlw_4049]

Thanks for the updates. Will encode a 4K HDR film tonight with it!

No luck. Everytime I enter my script into StaxRip it crashes and wipes my script clean. It leaves me with an avs of import(and my location). I can load the same script in VirtualdubMod2 and it works ok.

Hello guys, I have 2.0.6.0 installed and I wanted to update to the latest 2.0.8.0.
I tried Tools->Advanced->Check for Update but nothing happens, how can I update Staxrip?
I have some settings saved in the 2.0.6.0, I just can't download and use 2.0.8.0 because in this way I will lose it.

Tools > Settings > PreProcessing > then edit "mkvextract" entry and ensure "Chapters Demuxing" is selected.

Changing my codepage to UTF8 has caused a very small issue in the stable release, the crop dialog showed the Plus–minus sign ∓ which has the code point 177, with UTF8 it shows an error symbol. What I did to prevent something like this to happen in the future is to improve the release script, it scans now all source code files and returns an error if anything non ASCII is found, overall two non ASCII characters were in the original code, and they could be replaced easily. I've found a suspicious line in the ffmpeg source but cannot report it without analyzing it with a debugger, working with non Visual Studio code is very difficult for me, I soon have to learn it because I need a custom libmpv build so mpv.net can open vapoursynth scripts. I hope qyot27 does something regarding the ffmpeg issue.

@Stax I would change "ConverttoYV12()" with "ConvertToYUV420()", so this option works with 10bit videos, too.

I want to work on mpv.net and Open with++ but have bookmarked the post to examine it later.

I am having an issue with StaxRip not loading the frameserver.dll. Where exactly am I supposed to put the dll at? Currently it's in the same folder as the program itself.

With which version does this happen? A recent improvement is supposed to prevent exactly this problem. If that happens with the last build than it won't be easy to find the reason. Before StaxRip uses the DLL it is supposed to verify and enforce the presence of a recent VC++ 2019 runtime, without having installed that the DLL should not be loaded and if the runtime is installed the DLL should be found and loaded, the DLL is located in the startup directory and that directory has the highest priority when the OS looks for DLLs.

Then it erases my script and does this. It wipes it out, makes a new one and changes MPEG2Source to Import.

When you open any kind of source staxrip typically creates a _temp folder besides the source file and saves its scripts and temp files in this folder, maybe there is some logic somewhere that prevents creating and using the _temp folder but uses the folder of the original source, I tried to find such a logic in the code without success, you would have to tell me how to reproduce this behavior.

There are probably issues with the auto update feature, I've bookmarked the post and examine it sometime later.

OK, I think I found the issue with the external avs file, it happened with relative paths like this:

LSMASHVideoSource("aaa.mp4")

### 2.0.8.12 Beta without apps

- fix: external avs/vpy scripts that use relative instead of
       absolute paths failed to load

### 2.0.8.11 Beta without apps

- new: Version is shown in main dialog title bar

- fix: event command issue
- fix: layout and usability issue in audio dialog (Patman)
